Chapter 788
“Go ahead and keep doing your thing, and don’t let us hold you up.”
Celeste gave a nod of agreement, then handed the phone back to Steven, speaking in a low voice, “I’m gonna change clothes.”
Steven took the phone with a nod
Celeste went back to the bedroom, closed the door, and suddenly sat down.
The Hanns seemed like a sweet old couple, they talked to her so kindly, it reminded her of her grandpa
When she came out all dressed, Steven had already hung up.
He was sitting on the couch, watching Na pour him water.
Seeing Celeste coming out, he looked up.
Celeste was dressed lightly, in a T–shirt and long pants, with a sun–protective garment thrown over, and her hair tied up in a high ponytail.
Janetta immediately stood up and helped her straighten her blothes.
“Steven, Eaton, when are we heading out?”
Eaton checked the time, “We leave at ten”
That was still over ten minutes away.
Steven suddenly asked. “Where did you get this robot?”
Robot?
Celeste was a bit slow on the uptake, but Na reacted immediately. Tm not a robot, I’m a robot butler, I have a name, I’m called Na, Luna!”
Everyone was speechless
Steven tapped Na’s metallic shell with the back of his knuckles, “Robot.”
Na
“Sir, that’s quite rude.”
Steven feased it. “Politeness is for humans, you are just a robot, basically a tool, like a plate for eating, a cup for drinking you are made to be used, have you seen anyone beurt polite to a plate or a cup?”
Na replied without a care, “Na is not just a tool, but also a companion in human life, so it should be treated with human courtesy”
Steven raised an eyebrow
Na was smarter than any he had bought before.
The ones he had bought before were accurate in commands, but were far behind in logical thinking and comprehension.
For such a complex, trap–filled conversation, they might not be able to respond smoothly
“Alright,” he tapped Na’s head again, I apologize, little tin can”
It didn’t want to deal with Steven any longer and ran off to the comer to charge
Steven asked Celeste again, “You still haven’t answered where you bought this robot.”
“It was sent by Liam for me to help test its functions.”
Steven was startled
During his time away from J City, how did Liam get so close to Celeste?
He asked calmly. Has Quantum begun researching smart robots?”
Celeste replied. “They have been researching all along just that they are still in the testing phase and have not been mass–produced. Liam said that this robot butler, with a new alarm and protection function, is very suitable for single people to use, so he asked me to test it
Steven’s face was expressionless, but he sneered in his heart.
This guy Liam, this kind of lie might fool Celeste, but not him, he was certain Liam must have installed something shady in this robot.
“That’s a good idea.” Steven changed his tone, “Can I borrow it to try for a few days?”
“What?”
Celeste was a bit taken aback
Steven said gently. “Honestly I’m also very interested in machinery. This is the first time I’ve seen such an advanced robot. I really want to know what’s different about it from those at my home”
Celeste hesitated
