Tech Dominator Starts with Raising Kids

Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Settling Old and New Scores Together

Ten million? Xu Pengfei and a few others reevaluated Zero and then nodded.

One White can sell for several million, so Zero’s entire being for ten million seems pretty reasonable.

Reasonable, my foot!

Others might not know, but does Mo Jingchun not know the production cost of White? Compared to the selling price, the cost is ridiculously low.

Mo Jingchun didn’t say anything, so everyone just assumed he agreed by default.

Everyone was curiously looking at Zero, thinking that besides being cute, this body of Zero’s must hide a lot of abilities.

Otherwise, how do you explain the cost coming to ten million?

It’s just a bit of a shame that Zero can’t eat and drink like humans in the movies.

After all, movies are movies. On second thought, it makes sense. What’s the use of a robot needing to eat and drink?

Unless it’s a custom-made companion robot, otherwise, it’s just a waste of space.

During the lunchtime nap, Mo Jingchun was sleeping in the bedroom, while Zero, who stayed in the office, set her sights on Candy’s bicycle.

Zero had simulated riding a bicycle on the computer, but can a simulation feel the same as reality?

Little Grey, lying on the floor, looked up at Zero and continued sleeping.

"Hehe."

Sitting on the bicycle, Zero pedaled hard, just like during the simulation.

The next moment, Zero and the bicycle capsized together.

The noise startled both Little Grey and Bun.

"That doesn’t make sense." Zero raised an eyebrow and started analyzing the problem.

"Could it be that I used too much strength?"

After trying again, she succeeded in one go.

"I’m such a genius."

Having discovered the joy of riding a bicycle, Zero simply couldn’t stop, and although the boss’s office was big, it was no longer enough for this untamable wild horse.

Most importantly, Zero worried about breaking something in the office; otherwise, the boss would find a way to reclaim her pocket money.

Pocket money, used for odds and ends, isn’t that the purpose? No problem at all.

Going downstairs and riding the bicycle on the asphalt road, Zero let her spirit fly free.

"Woo~hoo~"

Upon hearing the ghostly wail, the dagger in the osmanthus tree fell with a flutter.

After a sharp brake, Zero smiled at the dagger with its wary, snarling face.

"Look at you, if you’re so tough, come and bite me!"

"Nyeh~~"

The dagger looked back at the keeper standing guard at the entrance of Building No.1 Experiment Hall; showing more ferocity would definitely draw a stop.

"Woof Woof Woof~"

"Oh my word! You’re really going for it!"

For the sake of a skirt worth a few hundred bucks, Zero immediately rode the bicycle away, and the dagger chased for less than fifty meters before stopping and leisurely walking back.

Upon waking from his nap, it took Mo Jingchun a moment to realize Zero was missing from the office.

With a raised eyebrow, Mo Jingchun asked, "Xia, where’s Zero?"

Outside, the sun was shining, and a child riding a bicycle around the park couldn’t help but draw everyone’s attention.

Xia Xiaomin looked at the boss with a strange expression and said, "Boss, Zero is downstairs. You should see her if you stand by the window."

Shooting a glance at Xia Xiaomin, Mo Jingchun got up, picked up the teacup, and walked to the window.

Mo Jingchun glanced back at where the bicycle was originally placed and remained silent; even Little Grey the foolish dog was persistently chasing Zero, clueless as to what Zero had done.

From such a distance, Mo Jingchun could sense that Little Grey was definitely cursing a blue streak.

Thinking about taming both difficult personalities, Mo Jingchun sighed and, with his back to Xia Xiaomin, said, "Xia, hurry up and buy another bicycle. I can already foresee the scene of those two fighting over the bicycle when Candy gets back tonight."

Mo Jingchun thought, in the future, with fun toys, it might require buying two of each.

If Zero were just an artificial intelligence without personal thoughts and personality, it wouldn’t matter, but Zero isn’t like that; leaving aside her identity, Zero genuinely looks no different from a human.

Having thoughts, having emotions.

Xia Xiaomin smiled with her lips pursed, nodded, and said, "Okay, boss."

Zero must have heard the conversation in the office, probably very delighted at this moment.

Sure enough, Mo Jingchun saw Zero came to a stop, waved in his direction, and the next second, seeing Little Grey nearing her, Zero sped off on the bicycle again.

They maintained a constant distance between them; Little Grey, if only a bit smarter, should have given up already.

By five-thirty in September, the sun was about to set.

The students, lined up by class on the playground, could see the half-sky glowing with a sunset red.

"It’s so beautiful."

Standing in front of Candy, Xiang’Er nodded in agreement and said, "It’s indeed gorgeous."

"The students of Candy Science and Technology Park are now boarding."

Hearing the loudspeaker’s announcement, Candy and Xiang’Er, familiar with each other, stepped out from the lineup and headed straight for the school bus.

On the bus, Candy couldn’t wait to take out two big red apples from her backpack.

"Here you go."

"I don’t know why, but I always feel very hungry when school lets out, even though I eat a lot for lunch."

Xiang’Er took a gentle bite of an apple like a lady, "It’s normal, everyone feels the same."

"I called my mom and she said that students tend to get hungry easily because they often use their brains."

Eating the apple she brought from the cafeteria, Candy sighed, "I kind of miss kindergarten, when there were snacks every afternoon."

"It’s a pity that recess is only ten minutes long, otherwise, we could have Auntie Sun cook a delicious snack."

Ten minutes later, the school bus arrived at the Science and Technology Park, and Candy had only eaten half of the big red apple.

"Brother~"

About to give her brother a hug, Candy’s smile froze when she saw Zero, slightly taller than her, standing next to her brother, her eyes widening.

In her brother’s lab, Candy often saw Zero, so she wasn’t unfamiliar with Zero’s appearance.

What shocked her was that Zero had actually come out of the computer.

Just as Zero was ready to greet Candy with friendly gestures, Candy suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Aha!"

"Finally, I’ve caught you."

With both hands tightly embracing Zero, Candy let out a cold laugh and said, "I’ll see how you run this time; you often tricked me before."

"Now that I’ve caught you."

Mo Jingchun and Zhou Yaling stood still in the wind, quietly watching Zero being dragged onto the bus by Candy, muttering: "Come on, let’s start with the Girl Who Sold Nuclear Bombs. If I’m not mistaken, I told this story in front of the class and teacher, and got a lecture for it, almost had my parents called in."

"And don’t think I’ve forgotten how you always tattled to him, Zero. We’ll slowly sort through them; there’s plenty of time."

"Let me tell you, tattling is very wrong, and if you were in my class, Xiaopang would smack you across the face; if you don’t believe it, ask our classmate Li Chenyu."
