The backdrop can also be propped up.

After making the call, Lin Huanming waited two seconds before hearing the phone connect, followed by a woman's voice: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

The woman's voice sounded very tired.

"Hello, there's a companion robot here, its number is [number]. It says it wants to buy pumpkin porridge, but the shop owner says they're out of pumpkin porridge," Lin Huanming said, looking at the string of numbers on the companion robot's head. After saying this, he asked the question the robot wanted to ask, "We still have red rice porridge, white rice porridge, and black rice porridge."

"Plain porridge is fine," the woman on the other end replied quickly. "I'm sorry my companion robot is causing you trouble."

"You're welcome," Lin Huanming said, hanging up the phone. He then turned to the companion robot and said, "Your master said to change the pumpkin porridge to plain porridge."

The companion robot blinked, receiving what Lin Huanming said to it, and then said to the shop owner, "I want a bowl of white porridge."

The shop owner breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the companion robot was finally no longer spinning around in circles. He quickly packed the things the robot asked for and stuffed them into the companion robot's belly.

The companion robot has a compartment inside its body, which can hold many things.

The companion robot, having loaded up its purchases, left the Shaxian Snacks restaurant on its two small wheels.

Lin Huanming sat back down at the table and finished his bowl of fried rice.

After finishing her meal, Lin Huanming left the Shaxian Snacks restaurant. She started her car and drove towards her apartment building.

After parking the car, Lin Huanming took out the car keys, walked up to the apartment building, and was thinking about where he should take K011 tomorrow.

Compared to all the robots available now, K011 is already much more advanced, Lin Huanming thought, recalling the scene he had witnessed at the Shaxian Snack Shop. At least if K011 encountered the same situation, it should be able to call a passerby.

Moreover, its appearance is more human-like. Lin Huanming thought that if he took K011 out for a walk on the street these two days, when K011 talked to humans, the people who talked to it would initially think it was just a child, and then they would notice its silvery-white hands and neck that were not covered by clothing.

But there was still no sense of unease. Lin Huanming then remembered that even if he put gloves on K011 and dressed it in a high-necked outfit, the passersby would still become suspicious within three sentences of him talking to them.

However, this might be a good thing, as it has a human-like appearance but is still recognizable as not human, thus not causing too much fear.

However, as a companion robot, K011 still needs to make people feel warm. Lin Huanming thought to himself, took out his key and opened the door. It was still behaving too stiffly, making it easy for people to notice that something was wrong.

Back home, Lin Huanming hung his coat on the hanger, sat down on the sofa, and turned on the TV, but didn't know what to watch. So he randomly clicked on a popular drama, let the sound play, and then sat on the sofa looking at his phone.

As soon as Lin Huanming turned on his phone, he came across a news article that read, "A new type of companion robot is under development."

Upon seeing the headline, Lin Huanming glanced at the lower left corner of the news article and, sure enough, saw the account name of her workplace.

Looking back, Lin Huanming remembered that his company had said they would gradually release this information to the outside world when the K011 was developed to a certain stage.

Several years have passed since my project was first launched. Lin Huanming thought to herself as she clicked on the news article, wanting to see how the new publishers were describing K011.
