For several days, Yin Chang held "Xiao Ling" in his arms and couldn't put it down.
Shao Junling is not jealous that Yin Chang ignores himself as a living person and chats with AI all day long. On the contrary, he is very happy that Yin Chang likes the gift he gave—as a designer, the recognition of the products he designed gives him a sense of accomplishment .
After Yin Chang received "Xiao Ling", he thought that Shao Junling was busy doing this during the two months of vacation, but in fact, this AI Shao Junling started to conceive after discovering that his brother used to treat himself as a "memorandum".
Back and forth, he has been doing it for nearly two years. Since he decided to go abroad at the end of last year, he temporarily gave up many personalized functions in order to send it out on Yin Chang's birthday this year. That is to say, what Yin Chang is currently getting is not the original version of Shao Junling's complete conception.
But it doesn't matter, since the designer and developer of this egg are Shao Junling himself, he can of course upgrade the software in the future. Moreover, combined with Yin Chang's trial situation and feedback for transformation, the robot egg can be closer to the needs of users.
Before going abroad, Shao Junling made another system upgrade for "Xiao Ling", which fixed some bugs that appeared in Yin Chang's recent use, and added the function of "reading scripts".
When Yin Chang discovered that Shao Junling could continuously improve the functions of "Xiaoling", he was pleasantly surprised again. He unceremoniously asked Shao Junling if he could change the voice of "Xiao Ling" as well.
"What do you want to change it to?" Shao Junling asked.
At present, the voice of "Xiao Ling" is the purest kind of mechanical child's voice. This is the voice pack that Shao Junling bought directly from a voice company in order to be able to use it as soon as possible. If Yin Chang wants something else, such as a little lolita's, a girl's, or a teenager's, it's easy to handle. Shao Junling can go to the voice company to buy the corresponding voice pack.
As a result, Yin Chang asked, "Can it be changed to yours?"
Shao Junling: "..."
His brother's request is a bit too much... If he wants his voice, he has to take the time to record all the commonly used words, words, and sentences, and then make it into a voice package. This is not a project that can be done in a day or two. quantity.
Seeing Shao Junling frowning, Yin Chang thought he was thinking of a solution, so he pondered for a moment, and then made an even more excessive request: "It's best to have the voice you had when you were young."
Shao Junling collapsed instantly: "...I can't!!"
Yin Chang blinked: "Okay then."
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August, and Shao Junling packed his luggage and was ready to go. Although Yin Chang couldn't send him to the United States, he could at least take him to the airport.
"This is the key to the house in Pasadena. The car key should be in the drawer of the low cabinet on the left after entering the door. If you have time, you can go and have a look. I have sent you the address." Yin Chang sat in the car Li made a final explanation to Shao Junling, "Send me a message when you get there. In addition, this is Evan's contact information. He is a good friend of my brother. If you need help with any difficulties and you can't reach me, you can find him."
"Yes, I see." Shao Junling took the key and put it in his pocket, and got out of the car alone.
Because of his star status, Yin Chang couldn't get out of the car to see his younger brother off in person at the airport. He lowered half of the car window and saw He Hongjun, who was walking with Shao Junling, was already waiting by the pillar not far away.
Shao Junling took the suitcase that Uncle Fang took out for him and waved his hands at him, then turned to Yin Chang and said, "Brother, I'm leaving."
Yin Chang opened his mouth, and the words "Bon voyage" that he wanted to blurt out stuck in his throat, and a feeling of reluctance surged into his heart again.
Shao Junling looked at him for a while, then suddenly put down the suitcase, opened the car door and came in again.
Yin Chang was startled, and just about to ask him if he forgot something, but saw Shao Junling quickly close the car door, approaching while pressing down on the car window, and then, a soft part was touched, and it was instantly broken.
When Shao Junling backed away, he whispered something to him, the usually calm eyes of the seventeen-year-old boy had a scorching temperature that Yin Chang couldn't understand at that moment.
I don't know if this action was too fast, or Yin Chang's reaction was too slow. When he realized what Shao Junling had done to him, the other party had disappeared with He Hongjun at the entrance of the departure level of the airport.
…
Twenty hours later, Yin Chang received the news of Shao Junling's WeChat report that he was safe.
"I'm here." - Only three simple words.
Knowing that Shao Junling landed safely, Yin Chang heaved a sigh of relief, but soon, his heart was swept away by another uneasiness that had been suppressed for a long time—for the first time, he began to reflect on his relationship with Shao Junling.
He tried to attribute Shao Junling's behavior when he left to the kind of parent-child interaction he had when he separated from Yin Dong when he was a child, but reason persuaded him not to deceive himself.
... Shao Junling is no longer a child, he is already a seventeen-year-old boy, seventeen years old, he understands everything.
Yin Chang stretched out his hand to brush his lips, and the warm touch seemed to be still there. Years of living together day and night made him have no resistance to Shao Junling's breath, but felt as natural as a daily hug.
But this is not right.
Now, Yin Chang was glad that Shao Junling was gone, because he didn't have the courage to ask Shao Junling what he meant by what he did before he left... He was afraid that Shao Junling's answer would completely collapse the perfect relationship between brother and brother that he thought he had.
Yin Chang wouldn't pretend that this incident didn't happen, but he felt that at least it was a good thing for the two of them to be separated for a while.
A week later, Yin Chang packed up and went to the film and television city.
Before the official filming, there are still a series of tasks such as taking makeup photos, character stills, and getting familiar with the shooting scenes. "Three Kingdoms" is a historical drama with more than 80 episodes. Also joined the group one after another.
Mi Xiu arrived three days later than Yin Chang, and both of them are now top traffic stars in the circle. Although their acting skills are not as good as those old actors, they are the most popular among young people in the crew. That night, the two were invited out to eat hot pot by a few young actors they had just met.
Before going out, Yin Chang remembered the message Shao Junling sent him last night, and took "Xiao Ling" with him.
"What is this?" Mi Xiu asked casually when he saw it.
Yin Chang said: "My brother gave me a birthday present."
The corner of Mi Xiu's mouth twitched, and he was about to ask Shao Junling why he gave him an egg, when other people came, a group of people greeted them lively, and surrounded them and walked out.
At the dinner table, another young actress also saw the shimmering "egg" beside Yin Chang's hand, and asked curiously, "Yin Chang, what is this?"
Yin Chang: "Oh, this is an AI."
Actress: "AI?"
Yin Chang smiled, and called "Xiao Ling" to the egg.
Everyone saw that the egg began to deform "swish", it stretched out its head, spread its wings, and an expression appeared on its face—"Y_Y... O_O... .A_A... ."
Xiao Ling: "Brother!"
"Pfft..." Mi Xiu almost spit out a mouthful of tea.
This scene left everyone speechless, and two actresses held their faces in surprise and said, "Ah, so cute! Where did you buy it?"
Yin Chang smiled and said, "I didn't buy it, my brother made it."
Mi Xiu stared at the AI and asked Yin Chang the same question as before: "What did your brother do? How did he do it?"
Last night Shao Junling sent him a message, asking Yin Chang to drive it when chatting with others. The "Xiao Ling" in standby mode is still in the shape of an egg, but it will also collect data at any time. The recorded chat content can be converted into text, which can be used as a memo, and it is beneficial to AI analysis when Yin Chang gets along with others. Its personality and speaking habits improve its intelligence when chatting with Yin Chang, so Yin Chang brings it with him.
But Yin Chang didn't want to show off too much. He gave Mi Xiu a look, implying that he would tell him when he got back, and only vaguely mentioned to the others that his younger brother was studying this aspect, and made a product for himself to experience. Then Yin Chang put "Xiao Ling" back on standby, making it clear that he didn't want people to gossip.
After the meal, the young actors asked the two if they wanted to play cards together.
"No, no, I'll go to the room with Yin Chang to have a scene." Mi Xiu refused with a smile.
"So hardworking!?" an actor teased him.
"Don't make fun of us, you know that we can't compare with those from majors like yours, why don't you give the underachievers some time to practice more, otherwise the director will point their noses and scold you, you will take it for me?" Mi Xiu said lightly. After a few words, he took Yin Chang and got away.
Back at the hotel, as soon as Yin Chang closed the door, Mi Xiu said anxiously: "Where's your egg! Take it out and let me play with it!"
"A right play?" Yin Chang glanced at him wordlessly, took out the egg from his trouser pocket, thought for a while and then suddenly stopped, "No, why did your words sound so dirty? Say it again !"
Mi Xiu: "Hahaha, don't make trouble, show me quickly."
... Who is making trouble with whom? Yin Chang raised his eyebrows and threw the egg to him.
Mi Xiu imitated Yin Chang and called it: "Xiao Ling."
The robot egg remained silent, and Mi Xiu called out twice: "Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, wake up!"
The egg was still motionless, Mi Xiu fiddled with it and asked, "Is it out of power?"
Yin Chang changed his clothes and said to the egg in Mi Xiu's hand, "Xiao Ling."
Hearing Yin Chang's call, the robot egg immediately reproduced the scene on the dinner table just now. After it transformed, it happily called out: "Brother A_A!"
Mi Xiu asked in surprise: "What's the matter, he only listens to your call?"
Yin Chang smiled: "As you can see."
Since Shao Junling set the attribute of the robot egg to recognize the owner during the design, after the initial setting is completed, "Xiao Ling" can only recognize Yin Chang's voice, and will only chat with Yin Chang alone, so no matter Mi Xiu Whatever you call it, it doesn't respond.
After hearing Yin Chang's explanation, Mi Xiu had no choice but to let Yin Chang chat with "Xiao Ling" for himself. Yin Chang asked a few questions, and Xiao Ling answered them fluently. Then he asked Xiao Ling to read the script to him.
After only showing two or three functions, Mi Xiu yelled enviously: "So smart? What kind of fairy is your brother! My brother only asks me for money!"
"Hehe, my brother is a genius." In front of Mi Xiu, Yin Chang made no secret of his embarrassment.
Mi Xiu argued with him a few words, turned his head and saw that Yin Chang's eyes were slightly blue, and suddenly asked: "Eh? Did your brother make this thing for you because he knew he would suffer from insomnia without you? "
Yin Chang was startled, and said: "No, he probably doesn't know that my insomnia is related to him."
Mi Xiu: "Then are you feeling better now?"
"That's it. These days, I take two melatonin tablets before going to bed, and I can fall asleep." Yin Chang poured a glass of water and said while drinking, "If you can't do it, you can take sleeping pills."
