Enforcer's Handbook

Lu Xiang returned home early today.

When she entered, the lively scene in the living room made her stunned for a long time. If she hadn't seen those familiar faces, she would have thought she had entered the wrong door.

I saw the night heron on all fours, hunched over, confronting an electronic dog, and making a hissing sound from its mouth. The two sides faced off for a moment, and then chased and fought happily in the room, leaving the carpet and sofa Made a mess.

This electronic dog is not unfamiliar to her. Tesla Technology has the same model, priced at 5999 watts. The selling point is that its built-in artificial intelligence can perfectly simulate the behavior of a pet dog. When this electronic dog was first launched, It has been widely praised, and many lonely and single working people will buy one and put it at home.

Lu Xiang heard that before the third war, dog breeding was very common all over the world. However, these days, only those who have too much money to spend have the spare money to keep live pets.

Electronic dogs perfectly solve the problem that ordinary people have when they want to keep a pet. Compared with real dogs, they do not need to be fed, and they will not produce unpleasant odors when placed at home, even if the owner works at the company for a week. I will wait for their return at home with peace of mind.

It's just that this electronic dog doesn't look like it's brand new from the factory. The paint has peeled off in many places on its body, and there are traces of damage to its hind legs by sharp objects.

Is this your new artificial intelligence friend?

She glanced at Song Lan, who was napping on the sofa. If she remembered correctly, when he hung up the phone before, Song Lan claimed that he wanted to find his artificial intelligence to find out the matter.

Now it seems that those hospitable artificial intelligence friends also gave him a gift.

This is a new member of the family.

Song Lan opened her eyes a little and introduced Lu Xiang.

This electronic dog liked to stick to him, so he brought it back from the artificial lake park. From a long-term perspective, maybe the King would communicate with him through this electronic dog in the future.

After arriving home, after some thinking, he guessed that the mother mentioned by the King might not be a real person, but an artificial intelligence created by humans. In this highly advanced technology, artificial intelligence has nowhere to go. Regardless of the time, she can appear in any corner of the world at any time.

From a standpoint, she and the life created by the aggregate of consciousness are hostile to each other.

As for the true purpose of the unknown device she installed in the brains of civilians, I'm afraid we can only know it when the King visits him next time.

New member? What's its name?

Lu Xiang is not opposed to keeping an electronic pet dog at home.

dog.

Um?

Just call it dog.

Song Lan adopted a minimalist style this time. He felt that the name could directly and clearly indicate the identity of the electronic dog, and would not allow Lu Xiang or others in the insect swarm to attack his naming skills.

The electronic dog also accepted its new name. When the owner called him, he stopped playing with the night heron, turned his face sideways and barked woof twice at Song Lan.

Dog, this is the real owner of this house. Once you offend her, she will kick you out and let you sleep on the street.

The electronic dog seemed to be able to understand human language. After Song Lan mentioned this, it immediately ran towards Lu Xiang to please him.

Lu Xiang held up the electronic dog and a blush appeared on his cheeks.

The reason why she knew a lot about electronic dogs was because she had always wanted to buy one when she was in Qiming College. She had always been interested in raising small animals, and the credits she earned in school were enough for her. Pay for the dongle and routine maintenance, but she ultimately didn’t do that.

Because that is inconsistent with the image she has always given people.

Don't listen to his nonsense, I won't kick you out.

She gently touched the electronic dog's head. It felt cold and smooth, and it felt no different from ordinary electronic products.

This batch of electronic dogs became popular with the coalition government several years ago. At that time, Tesla Technology’s R\u0026D team was still slightly conservative. After the concept of electronic pets was widely accepted by people, second- and even third-generation products began They continue to let themselves go, and they have achieved the ultimate in appearance and performance.

At present, high-end electronic pets have private customization services, usually with two options: beasts and humanoids.

Today's electronic pets look and feel like real animals. As for humanoid electronic pets, they often have functions other than pets.

It seems that this electronic dog has been abandoned by its previous owner.

You can live here peacefully from now on.

Lu Xiang bent down and put the electronic dog back on the ground. At Ye Lu's call, it quickly followed him, and he and Ye Lu formed a temporary house demolition team.

The arrival of the electronic dog has greatly satisfied Ye Heron's need for fun and play. She is still at the age where she likes to have fun, but this is not the case in big cities. People here live in high-rise buildings, and more than 90% of the people are They are otakus. After get off work, they just go home and live and entertain themselves without ever leaving home.

Among them, Lu Xiang is the representative of workaholics. Let alone playing with her, Lu Xiang has endless work to handle every day when he sees her. Although Song Lan is very idle most of the time, his scope of activities at home is She usually doesn't go too far beyond the sofa. Ever since Yelu moved in, she has been doing all the errands like going downstairs to buy things and pick up express delivery.

Now, Ye Lu finally found a good comrade who could accompany her to play outside.

The weather outside is nice. You go outside to play. I'll call you later when it's time to eat.

In order to prevent the living room of the apartment from being further damaged, Lu Xiang spoke up.

No need to call us, I can smell it!

Night Heron said proudly.

Song Lan is the only one who knows how to cook within a few miles around, and she can smell the aroma even downstairs.

There was no need for anyone to call her when it came to eating.

After receiving instructions from their superiors, the night heron and the dog ran out one after the other.

Lu Xiang changed out of the uniform of the law enforcement department and tidied up the living room that had been messed up by Ye Lu and the electronic dog's play. She had already begun to consider whether to buy a special artificial intelligence butler.

Regardless, this apartment feels more and more like home.

The daughter-like night heron, the pet dog at home, and her husband who got off work early and took a nap on the sofa. Thinking back to a few months ago, when she came home every day, the living room was always surprisingly quiet, without any life at all. breath.

The only fly in the ointment is that Song Lan's living habits make her always feel like she has entered middle age ahead of schedule.

Just like now, there is a thermos cup with wolfberry water soaked in it on the coffee table in front of him.

What are we eating today?

After Lu Xiang hesitated for a while, he decided to put work behind him and enjoy the feeling of going home for the time being.

you decide.

Griddle potato chips, spicy chicken, and cabbage.

Got the order!
