Chapter 426 Will Robots Miss Little Fish? (Part 3)

Lin Huanming sat by the lake, staring blankly at the water, from dusk until evening, when the cool night breeze finally brought him back to his senses.

Remembering that he hadn't eaten yet, Lin Huanming drove out of the park and decided to find a restaurant nearby to solve his food problem.

As Lin Huanming drove out of the park, the first place he saw where he could park and eat was a Shaxian snack shop.

So Lin Huanming parked his car near Shaxian Snacks and went inside to order a plate of egg fried rice.

The customer flow wasn't very large at the moment, and soon a plate of fried rice was served in front of Lin Huanming.

Lin Huanming ate his fried rice while observing his surroundings.

Humanity has entered the interstellar age, and technological development has reached new heights. After eating fried rice for a while, Lin Huanming saw a companion robot roll its wheels, which served as its legs, into the Shaxian Snack Shop.

"Hello boss," the companion robot said in its characteristic robot voice that it had been equipped with since it left the factory, "I'd like a small bowl of wontons and a bowl of pumpkin porridge."

The shop owner responded with a sound of agreement, then said to the little robot, "We're out of pumpkin porridge. Would you mind using red rice porridge instead?"

The little robot replied: "Detecting whether the subject is allergic to red rice porridge ingredients. Test complete. Sorry, the patient is allergic to red rice porridge. Please switch to pumpkin porridge instead."

"The pumpkin porridge will take a while to cook," the shopkeeper replied.

"Oh, how long will it take?" the little robot asked.

"There's still a little over half an hour left," the boss replied.

The little robot stopped talking, but it started spinning in place like a top.

The owner of the Shaxian snack shop stared blankly at the companion robot in front of him that had suddenly started spinning on its own for some unknown reason. The companion robots that had come before had always taken the items and left. This was the first time the owner had prevented the companion robot from taking anything, and he never expected that the companion robot would suddenly start spinning on its own.

After the companion robot circled in place seven or eight times, the boss panicked: "What's going on? Did it malfunction before completing its command?"

Seeing this, Lin Huanming understood immediately—this companion robot probably needed to contact its owner to ask if the owner needed to change the type of porridge.

According to the shop owner, if the patient still wants to drink pumpkin porridge, then the robot can only stay at the Shaxian Snack Shop for half an hour, and its owner's dinner will also be extended by half an hour.

Unfortunately, the owner did not equip the robot with a communication device.

Furthermore, this companion robot doesn't yet know how to borrow a human's phone to make a call, probably because it hasn't encountered this situation before.

"Should I stay in the hospital?" Lin Huanming wondered to herself. Then she pulled out a tissue from the table, wiped her mouth, got up, threw the tissue into the trash can, and walked toward the robot that was spinning in place.

The robot was initially just spinning in place, but when it sensed someone approaching, it stopped spinning.

The round, chubby companion robot raised its round head and looked at the woman in front of it.

The companion watched as the woman took a cell phone out of her pocket, and then it heard the woman say, "What's your master's phone number?"

The blue eyes on the black display screen on the round face of the companion robot blinked, and then quickly recited a string of numbers.
