At noon the next day, Shao Junling asked Uncle Fang to drive him and Yin Chang to a certain mall.
Both of them were wearing casual clothes, and Yin Chang also wore sunglasses and a mask when he went out. He is a star, if it is not for work needs, he will rarely come to such a lively and prosperous area.
"You won't be recognized?" Yin Chang was still a little nervous when he got into the elevator from the underground parking lot.
"This is the employee elevator, which leads directly to the back kitchen of the restaurant. Generally, customers don't go this way..." Shao Junling comforted him, then squinted at him and said, "However, if you meet a passerby, you will be recognized Isn't it normal?"
Yin Chang: "..."
The elevator went straight to the seventh floor and opened the door. Several men in chef uniforms saw the two of them, smiled, and one of them turned his head and yelled "Manager". Soon a woman in business attire came over, Shao Junling nodded when she saw her and said, "I'm Fu Yanyue's friend."
"Hello, I heard from Young Master Fu that everything has been arranged." The woman glanced at Yin Chang who was beside her while speaking.
Yin Chang had already taken off his sunglasses, his beautiful jewel-colored eyes made those who saw him lose their minds, as if he had been recognized.
"This way, please." Although he frequently glanced at Yin Chang, the manager did not say much because of his good professionalism.
Entering the restaurant from the back kitchen, Yin Chang saw the decoration outside, and found some decorations in the shape of planets and rockets, and found it particularly novel.
There were quite a lot of people in the hall, many of them were children and young people. The manager quickly led them around from the back to the entrance of a large capsule-shaped "space capsule" in the far corner. There was a row of "Time Machine No. 8" on the cabin. .
Yin Chang went in first. The private room was very small, and it could only accommodate two people sitting face to face. There was a small table in the middle, and the cabin door was closed, giving a sense of security.
Yin Chang just acted calmly and calmly, and only looked around when he was seated. Facing Shao Junling, he didn't need to hide it, and said freshly, "Where is this?"
Shao Junling: "Universe Time Restaurant."
Yin Chang has never been to such a childlike place since he was an adult. In fact, he rarely visited a place before he was an adult. In his impression, Yin Dong took him to Disneyland when he was six years old.
Thinking of the conversation between the manager and Shao Junling, Yin Chang asked again: "Who is Fu Yanyue?"
"Classmate," Shao Junling handed the menu to Yin Chang, "I heard that this restaurant was invested and opened by his family according to his wishes, and he invited me to eat here before, I thought it was fun, so I wanted to bring you here. "
"You order," Yin Chang was too lazy to order, pushed the menu back, and asked Shao Junling, "Do you have a good relationship with him?"
Many of Deyin's students come from family backgrounds, and Yin Chang is not unusual either. But in the past few years, apart from Xue Ziwen and He Hongjun who had been to their house before, Yin Chang had never heard of Shao Junling mentioning other friends, so he was inevitably curious about Shao Junling's social circle.
"It's okay." Shao Junling said.
"It's just okay?" Yin Chang asked suspiciously. With Shao Junling's indifferent personality, he could take the initiative to ask his classmates to help make arrangements. The friendship between the two must be extraordinary.
Shao Junling: "He was my deskmate in the third year of junior high school."
Yin Chang: "Now, are you also in Deyin?"
Shao Junling: "He's in the English class now, and we occasionally play football together in high school."
Yin Chang nodded, and asked again: "Then who is the classmate you have the best relationship with now? He Hongjun?"
Shao Junling: "For now."
Yin Chang: "What does He Hongjun's family do?"
Shao Junling: "His father is in scientific research, and his mother is in a university..."
Yin Chang knew it well, an intellectual family.
"There is also Mao Ziang, who has a good relationship with us..." Shao Junling chose the dish, directly entered the dish number on the tablet embedded in the small table of the space capsule, raised his eyes and saw what Yin Chang wanted to ask, and explained proactively "I met Mao Ziang and He Hongjun in the AI interest group. We usually spend more time together and often study together. Mao Ziang's parents heard that they work in special departments and cannot go abroad with us. Primary school classmates In school, apart from Xue Ziwen who often played games, I had little contact with other people. I skipped grades too quickly, and I didn’t know each other very well. Oh, there is also a friend outside the school, named Yu Jian, who I met in the Taekwondo gym,” Shao Junling looked at Looking at Yin Chang, "They're all boys, and you haven't had a puppy relationship with a girl. Do you have any questions?"
Yin Chang: "..."
Shao Junling said all he wanted to ask in one breath, and also included a lot of things Yin Chang didn't want to ask, what else could Yin Chang say
I don't know how much effort he spent to teach Shao Junling to express, but Yin Chang never expected that this kid would make him speechless one day. Thinking about it, he felt like shooting himself in the foot. .
etc… !
When Shao Junling mentioned "puppy love" just now, Yin Chang suddenly felt ready to move: "Aren't there girls chasing you at school?"
Shao Junling paused, and said, "Yes."
Seeing Shao Junling's troubled look, Yin Chang just wanted to gossip, when he saw the other party looking at him and said, "But most of them are girls who want to inquire about you through me, and they are troublesome every day."
Yin Chang: "..." Forget it, he doesn't want to ask anymore.
Just as they were talking, the food was served. There was a transparent window on the wall of the space capsule on Shao Junling's side, through which the waiter passed the plates in, and would not disturb them by opening the cabin door.
For two people to eat, Shao Junling didn't order much, a few side dishes, and a small cake, which was made into a saucer-shaped spaceship with "25" printed on it.
Shao Junling lit candles on it, symbolically asking Yin Chang to blow the candles.
It was the first time for Yin Chang to celebrate his birthday in such an environment, and there was only Shao Junling by his side. He was relaxed and happy. He clasped his hands together and made a wish. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shao Junling looking at him for a moment. Said: "Brother, happy birthday."
"Hehe, it will be twenty-five in a blink of an eye." Yin Chang said with emotion, but the feeling of being together with his relatives made him immersed in an indescribable happiness.
After eating for a while, someone knocked on the outer wall of the space capsule. Yin Chang turned his head and saw that it was the female manager just now.
Shao Junling opened the window, took a box and handed it to Yin Chang: "This is your birthday present."
"And a gift?" Yin Chang thought that this meal was a good gift. He put down his chopsticks, opened the box enthusiastically, and took out a palm-sized... egg
"What is this?" Yin Chang made a rough study. The bottom of the "egg" was flat, and there seemed to be gaps on the outer wall.
Shao Junling: "There is a switch at the bottom, press and hold for three seconds to turn it on."
Yin Chang pressed the button according to his younger brother's instructions. Three seconds later, the egg in his hand suddenly unfolded like a Transformer. The upper third stretched into a head, and the front glowed with a kaomoji expression: "A_A"
Opened the wings into arms, clapped twice like chicken wings, and made a voice: "Hello, I am your exclusive AI. It's the first time we meet, please take care of me!"
Yin Chang: "..."
Shao Junling said to the egg, "Enter the initial settings."
Deformed egg: "Okay, master—enter the initial settings."
Shao Junling turned on the hotspot with his mobile phone and connected to the Internet.
Transformed Egg: "Successfully connected to the network, please master name me."
Shao Junling pointed to the egg, motioning Yin Chang to talk to it.
Yin Chang was startled, and asked him to name him for a while, his mind went blank, but since it was sent by Shao Junling, he simply called... "Xiao Ling."
Shao Junling: "..."
Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling received it! May I ask how the master wants me to address you?"
Yin Chang smiled: "Brother."
Shao Junling: "..."
Xiaoling: "Okay, brother! Nice to meet you, Xiaoling will study hard in the future and provide the best service for brother!"
Yin Chang glanced at Shao Junling with a smile, and continued to talk to it: "What service can you provide me?"
Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling will wake up my brother, say goodnight to him, remind him to rest, tell the time and the temperature for the day, and the most important function is to chat with him..."
There is one "brother" and another "brother" on the left of this egg, and Yin Chang's heart is full of joy. He was about to ask again, but Shao Junling couldn't stand it anymore. He snatched the egg with red ears, forced the switch off, and said: "Let's eat first."
Before being turned off, the egg showed a "Y_Y" expression and said, "Brother, I don't want to be turned off."
Yin Chang was completely pleased, and asked with great interest: "Where did you get it, and it feels similar to Siri?"
Shao Junling took a bite of the dish and said, "It's not the same, this one is specially made for you."
Yin Chang was taken aback: "Target me? What did you do?"
Shao Junling: "Yes."
In the eyes of ordinary people like Yin Chang, it was a fantasy that a high school student could make such a thing, but Shao Junling nodded and admitted! Yin Chang took back the egg, and asked uncertainly while playing with it in his hand, "How did you do it?"
"Design, program, make circuit boards, find a supplier to make the shape, and assemble it into shape..." Shao Junling said concisely, and Yin Chang couldn't understand if he said too much. He paused and corrected himself, "It can't be regarded as completely done by me. I was responsible for the overall design and programming, and He Hongjun and Mao Ziang helped a lot in other aspects. I added a lot of information about you when programming. This is the first time I do this kind of chatting, and I don’t know if it’s easy to use... You chat with it more, it will learn, and you can tell me at any time if something goes wrong."
Yin Chang was surprised: "It can still learn!?"
Shao Junling raised his eyebrows: "Of course artificial intelligence can learn. The more data it receives, the more it can 'understand' you. And it also has a voice-to-text conversion function. You can install an app on your phone and carry it with you every day. It can write down anything and upload it to the cloud, which can be regarded as a memo.”
Yin Chang was so shocked that he was speechless, and after eating, he was in a daze, his eyes wandering between the egg on the table and Shao Junling, his mind was full of "Shao Junling made this thing!" "He Why are you so powerful!?"... Shao Junling was terrified when he saw it.
But Yin Chang is a twenty-five-year-old adult after all, and after a brief surprise, he regained his superficial calm. When he got home, the performance of quickly opening the deformed egg revealed a little bit of his inner excitement.
Xiao Ling: "Brother A_A!"
Yin Chang put the egg on the bed and couldn't wait to experience its functions: "What time is it?"
Xiao Ling: "Two thirty-four in the afternoon."
Yin Chang: "What's the temperature now?"
…
Shao Junling listened to the mentally handicapped conversation between his brother and AI in the room all afternoon, and he almost wanted to shut himself off.
At night, Yin Chang actually started teasing that robot: "Do you like me?"
Xiao Ling: "I like it!"
Yin Chang: "Who likes whom?"
Xiao Ling: "Xiao Ling likes my brother!"
Yin Chang: "How much do you like it?"
Xiaoling: "The most likes you can imagine! A_A"
Yin Chang: "Hehe, your mouth is so sweet..."
…
Shao Junling passed by the smirking brother expressionlessly, and reminded coldly: "Don't think too much, it won't have feelings for you."
Yin Chang: "..."
