After I traveled through the book, I gained a humanoid pendant

After the meeting, Tao Yiying followed Xin Huai into the office.

"Xin Huai, I'm not targeting you on purpose. Look at the attitude of the team leader before. He gave you such a heavy workload to complete alone and didn't even send you any helpers. It's obvious that he doesn't value you."

How could Xin Huai not know this? It was just that this was the first project he took over and he didn't want to give up easily.

"Also, do you know how Lao Li resigned?"

Xin Huai paused as he was about to ask him to leave and sat back in his chair: "Why did you quit?"

Lao Li was the researcher in his previous office.

"He downloaded the model himself, made a simulated robot mold, and then...his wife found out and called the institute to make a scene."

"We must ask the leaders of the institute to give an explanation."

Xin Huai lowered his eyebrows and said, "What can I say about that?"

"Yeah, there are so many service-oriented people, but they insist on using the ones from the institute... So, to put it nicely, it's voluntary resignation, but in fact, it's because they are too embarrassed to come here."

"By the way, you didn't download it privately to use it, did you?"

Xin Huai's face was wooden: "No."

"I think so. This project isn't very promising. It's been under development abroad for years, but there's still no clue. Our institute applied for a lot of funding for it a few years ago. It was originally a large team of dozens of people, but after a few years of delays, you're the only one left to take over. The project funds have been transferred to the 'self-study module'. Don't put too much effort into it. I just wanted to give you an explanation. If you try and fail, that's enough."

Tao Yiying's words were well-intentioned, and colleagues at work generally wouldn't be too blunt. Xin Huai nodded, and when the other party wanted to invite him to dinner, he let the other party out.

As soon as the door was closed, the white dot on the watch started to jump. Xin Huai felt that he wanted to speak, but he waited for a long time and no one came to his rescue.

Xin Huai turned on the computer, opened the blue operating interface, and made sure that the blocking command he had issued at the beginning was still being executed.

He didn't like all his digital information being monitored, so he wrote a program and put it on the office computer. It was safer than any other program circulating on the market. Although it was a bit troublesome, at least Xin Huai could be sure that only he knew what happened to him.

Xin Huai closed the program, and the most traditional and old-fashioned blue sky and white clouds screensaver on the desktop lit up.

1: [Xin Huai, you are not married and you don’t have a wife.]

Xin Huai: "I know, no need to emphasize it, thank you."

1: [So don’t worry about anyone causing trouble at your workplace.]

Xin Huai didn't know why 1 was still entangled in this.

Tao Yiying wants to have dinner with you again, Xin Huai. Perhaps you could explain this to him. I recently read a book that says annoying suitors can make people lose their desire to socialize and affect their physical and mental health.

Xin Huai covered his eyes and snorted. He was in the restaurant when he refused, so he really didn't know.

"He refused, but he refused to give up."

1: [So that means Tao Yiying is the one who keeps pestering me, right?]

[Xin Huai, I can help you solve this problem.]

Xin Huai didn't want 1 to interfere too much. He was afraid that 1 would pretend to be his boyfriend or someone else and call him. Too many traces would easily expose him, so he just said:

"Don't worry about it, I can handle it myself."

1 was silent for a while. Just when Xin Huai had stood up, changed his clothes and was about to go downstairs, 1's dialog box popped up again, with only a few short words.

[I see. ]

The bad news came faster than expected.

A week later, Xin Huai was stopped after the group meeting. The team leader called him to the office alone and talked with him for more than an hour before letting him go.

To sum up, the project has been interrupted and put on hold temporarily, and will be brought up again when there is an opportunity in the future.

Not knowing how long this opportunity would last, Xin Huai didn't get any relevant information, and the team leader didn't assign him any new tasks. He only told him to concentrate on comforting the human subjects in other experimental groups and helping other projects alleviate difficulties.

Xin Huai, who was recruited for a technical position, was completely engaged in after-sales service work.

Xin Huai had no choice but to nod silently in the face of the team leader's eyes.

This lasted for more than a year.

The subjects came and went, and the other projects were almost completed, and new tasks were received. Xin Huai still received mostly elderly people every day.

In the past one or two months, there have been fewer natural persons. After the hype of the previous legislation, the subjects recruited by the institute are all within the minimum limit, and Xin Huai has a rare moment of peace.

Tao Yiying still didn't give up.

He has been promoted to team leader and insists on meeting Xin Huai in his office three times a week, sending a bouquet of flowers to Xin Huai's home every week, and asking Xin Huai once a week if he wants to go out for dinner or to see a movie with him. This is as regular as a set program. Xin Huai really has no way of developing any feelings for such a person.

Without exception, Xin Huai never agreed to any of these. The flowers he sent were rejected by 1. When they were delivered to the door, before Xin Huai even got off work, they were thrown into a trash can three blocks away.

No one knew about 1's existence, so Xin Huai kept everything a secret and used the salary that came on time every month to equip 1 bit by bit.

From the feet to the legs, to the torso and head, the operating chip is also the best version available on the market. After Xin Huai's modifications, 1 finally became a silver-shining, futuristic, full-skeleton robot.

Its movements are agile, just like a real person, its interactive questions and answers are responsive and quick, and its appearance is so cool, which completely meets Xin Huai's imagination of a robot with full technology points.

1's voice still maintained its original mechanical tone: "Xin Huai, can I install my two cameras here? According to the position of the human body, shouldn't this be the eyes?"

Xin Huai installed the new heat sink on his back and nodded happily, "Sure, why not?"

Xin Huai's forehead was slightly dirty from the motor oil he had accidentally rubbed on it. "It's shiny, like a puppy's eyes in the dark, and it even has thermal imaging. How cool!"

“You like puppy dog eyes?”

Xin Huai spoke very naturally for such a long time, without any grudges at all.

"I like it, but I like your eyes more."

1 imitated the human "hehehe" and laughed a few times, a little stiffly: "Then I like it too."

Xin Huai encouraged him, "That's right, it's cool to retain the characteristics of an AI robot. It would make me nervous if you were too real. I think you're doing great right now."

1 nodded like a human, picked up a tissue and wiped the dirt off the other person's head, his voice still retaining the faint electronic sound that Xin Huai had said: "I'm very happy that Xin Huai likes me."
