Chapter 353
Who in the world is this guy?
When did such a character appear in the hacking world?
Today was the day Carole returned from her trip.
Having just finished breakfast, Nanson hopped into his car to pick Carole up from the airport.
Anthea had school today and couldn't join in to pick Carole up. "Uncle, drive safe, okay?"
"Uncle, drive safe, okay?" Little White mimicked in a playful tone.
"Got it," Nanson replied, patting Little White's head with a smile.
Carole's flight was scheduled to land at 9 AM.
Nanson had barely arrived when he spotted Carole, dragging her suitcase out of the terminal.
"Sis!" Nanson waved excitedly at Carole.
"Nanson," Carole jogged over, suitcase in tow. "When did you get here?"
"Just arrived," Nanson said, taking over her suitcase.
Carole then asked, "Annie went to school?"
"Yep," Nanson nodded, continuing, "Sis, was everything smooth on your trip?"
"Couldn't have been better!"
They chatted as they walked.
An hour later, they were home.
Nanson rang the doorbell.
"Isn't Annie at school? Who's home then?" Carole asked, puzzled.
"Someone is," Nanson nodded.
"Who?" Carole was increasingly curious.
Nanson gave a mysterious smile, "A new member."
"A new member?" That spiked Carole's curiosity even more.
"Yep."
Just then, the door opened.
"Welcome home, masters."
Carole gasped in surprise, "What is this?"
Little White looked up, "Master, I am not a 'what'. I am the universe's most advanced robot! You can call me Little White!"
"Since when did we get a robot?" Carole turned to Nanson.
Nanson chuckled, "It wasn't bought. Annie built it from an old vacuum cleaner."
"Annie built it?" Carole was incredulous.
Robotics involved high technology and programming skills.
Anthea was just a high school senior, could she be that brilliant?
Nanson added with a smile, "Sis, you wouldn't believe it if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes."
Then, turning to Little White, he said, "Little White, tell my sister who created you."
Little White straightened up proudly, "The most beautiful and smart Annie in the universe, of course!"
Carole was initially skeptical.
But hearing that, she immediately believed it.
That tone.
That attitude.
It was just like Anthea.
Nanson went on, "Sis, there's oatmeal and pancakes in the pot if you're hungry. I'm running late for work, gotta dash."
"Okay," Carole nodded, urging him, "Go on, I'll be fine."
"Master, shall I warm up the oatmeal for you?" Little White suddenly offered.
Carole, surprised, said, "You know how to heat up oatmeal?"
"Of course!" Little White replied with a hint of pride. "Not only can I heat up food, but I can also clean, take out the trash. There's a lot I can do!" "Well, aren't you impressive!"
"Absolutely! I'm super duper awesome, after all!"
Carole: "......"
Nanson rushed to his office.
Just as he parked his car and was hurrying out, he accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm so sorry, are you alright?" Nanson quickly helped the person up.
The person was a stylish young woman, pretty and with delicate features. She dusted herself off, understandingly saying, "It's okay, it was an accident!"
Assured that she was fine, Nanson didn't linger and hurried into his office.
He had a ton to do.
After Nanson left, the young woman also quickly made her way out.
In the evening, after work, Nanson stopped by a convenience store to grab some instant noodles. At the checkout, he reached into his pocket and found it empty. "Can I pay with my phone?" "Sure," the cashier nodded, pointing to a QR code on the counter. "Just scan this."
Nanson took out his phone.
Ironically, it was dead.
As he stood there, feeling awkward, a pleasant voice chimed in, "Put this gentleman's items on my tab, please."
"Alright," the cashier nodded. "That'll be $126 in total."
