A few minutes later.

Tang Ran carefully stepped through the door of the unfamiliar room. Before she could stand firmly, she received an eager welcome from Tan Yunchang.

”Hey, my Sister Tang, you’ve finally arrived!”

Tan Yunchang stepped forward and met the cold look of Luo Zhan who was half a step behind Tang Ran. He stiffened and hastily blinked to indicate that he was ready before he turned to the stunned Tang Ran with a smile.

”When I heard yesterday that you and Luo Xiu knew each other, I was surprised to death. How much fate is there between you and us at INT?”

Tang Ran asked uncertainly, “Store manager?”

Tan Yunchang: “Well, it’s me.”

Tang Ran was somewhat pleasantly surprised: “You’re also in the same lab as Luo Xiu?”

”Of course, INT’s our lab’s store.” Tan Yunchang didn’t dare to thoroughly go into topics outside the ‘script’, “I heard Luo Xiu say that you came here today to see the bionic robot, right?”

Tang Ran nodded and couldn’t help asking, “Has it been debugged?”

”The debugging….” Tan Yunchang’s face was so bitter that it was almost wrinkled together, but he still had to force a bright smile, “Of course the debugging is finished. But this robot has many micro-motors inside its body, its also consumes a lot of power—just happened to run out of power. It’s charging right now, so now it’s in its asleep state.”

”That’s okay,” Tang Ran smiled, “just like before, store manager. Help present it to me. It’s fine to confirm it afterwards.”

”Okay, okay.” Tan Yunchang agreed with a guilty conscience.

The bionic robot was standing in a separate glass standing cabinet next to the lab door.

Tan Yunchang took the key and went to unlock it while chatting with Tang Ran.

”You didn’t see it, Sister Tang, but when this arrived, the robot filled a box and the instruction manual almost filled the second one. But looking at the design and functionality, its indeed the most complex home robot in the world.”

Tang Ran controlled her excitement and asked softly, “Can I touch it?”

”Sure, it’s yours anyway.” Tan Yunchang pulled open the glass cabinet door, “This kind of expensive simulation robot has synthetic skin, using a patented level silicone technology. The touch and feeling should be very close to that of humans.”

Tang Ran tried and couldn’t help but bend the corners of his eyes, “Well, it’s very similar, just a little cold.”

”Cold? That brings us to its most remarkable aspect.” Tan Yunchang excitedly introduced, “This robot comes with a heater that’s capable of keeping the temperature at thirty-seven degrees Celsius; moreover, there’s also special motors and microchips that allow it to have a high degree of anthropomorphic breathing and heartbeat—so once it’s activated, whether it’s the temperature, touch, or the heartbeat and breathing, all will be human-like!”

”……”

Tan Yunchang had just finished speaking when he noticed Luo Zhan, who had been lazily following behind the girl, lifting his eyes and glancing at him coldly and dully.

Tan Yunchang’s smile has stiffened, finally recalling that the unlucky robot had already suffered from the lab’s vicious attack and wasn’t able to start normally now.

In case it couldn’t be repaired in a few days, where was he going to find a similarly functioning one for Tang Ran?

Tang Ran didn’t notice Tan Yunchang’s stiffness. She tilted her head curiously and asked: “Can it communicate then? Just like….. just like ‘Luoluo’?”

”—!”

Hearing this address, the lab, which was bustling with excitement and orderly according to the script just a second ago, fell into dead silence in that instant.

When they came back to their senses, everyone in the lab turned their heads with complicated expressions and looked at Tan Yunchang with sympathy and heartache.

Tan Yunchang was frozen.

He was an old member of INT, and he knew exactly how much the name “Luoluo” stepped on Luo Zhan’s minefield. In addition, he was the culprit who secretly gave the app to Tang Ran, so how could he expect not to escape death today?

While Tan Yunchang’s heart was dead like ashes, he and the others in the lab heard the lazy, cold voice they were familiar with take the initiative to answer the girl’s unanswered question—

”Well, communicating is possible.”

”……”

This calm and light tone of voice without the least bit of anger made the people in the lab look at each other.

Tang Ran didn’t notice, but only turned around curiously and asked, “Then can it be as smart as Luoluo?”

Luo Zhan lazily replied, “It has more than 100,000 language modules. It’s more intelligent than your Luoluo.”

Tang Ran was silent for two seconds and retorted in a small voice, “No way. Luoluo is the smartest.”

”.”

The corner of Luo Zhan’s mouth lightly hooked, not retorting.

It was only after a long time that Tan Yunchang returned to his senses with difficulty and squeezed out a smile, “Sister Tang, I’ll introduce you to the other…..”

Knock knock.

The door of the laboratory suddenly sounded.

The crowd turned their heads in surprise.

The atmosphere in their lab was casual, and no one had the habit of knocking in the Junior Division.

Unless…..

Tan Yunchang, who was standing in front of the standing cabinet next to the door, thought of something and his expression changed abruptly. He hurriedly went to stop the door. However, it was already too late-

The lab door was pushed open and a middle-aged man who looked like a teacher walked in.

”I heard that Luo Zhan just came in? I’m looking for him to ask about the robotics competition.”

”……”

The room went silent.

A few seconds later.

Standing in front of the glass standing cabinet, the girl slowly lifted her head and repeated in a soft voice.

”Luo.. Zhan?”
