[Comprehensive British and American] Hacker company in operation

It only took an hour to drive from New York to the suburbs of Newark. When Rosie saw the logo of Venus Company under the shade of trees, Rosie suddenly had the feeling of "going home".

Autumn is just right, the weather in this seaside port city is much better than that of Gotham next door, and the security at night is much more stable than that of Brudhaven next door. Time here is peaceful, as if kicked out of the villain's bombing circle, only the power of the mafia is quietly developing here.

Rosie almost jumped out of the car, and most of the employees who were still in the industrial area did not know what the boss had experienced in New York, nor did they know that the CEO went to New York to work overtime and had a fight... What happened in New York was far from the truth. They are far away, instead, their main job today is testing and designing new toys.

7 of Spades got on the elevator one step slower than Rosie, and brushed off the petals of cherry blossoms on her shoulders. When the elevator stopped at the front desk, the front desk staff greeted them both pleasantly. Then, she trotted into the elevator and put A bouquet of lilacs was stuffed into Rosie's arms, and she ran out before the elevator closed, leaving only one sentence: "Boss, these are your flowers."

Today it's purple lilacs, a tiny bouquet.

Because there are reservations from customers, the florist in the industrial area has to prepare different flowers for delivery every day, and sometimes it is not a big bunch. After 7 of Spades gets busy, Rosie has a new life assistant, a mutant girl... …She said she was a little girl, but she was actually two years older than her. The other party often used the flowers she sent to help her fumigate her clothes, collected the dried petals from the day before, wrapped them in tissue paper and stuffed them into Rosie's clothes pocket.

So she can smell the aroma of different flowers every day, as if spring lingers here and has not completely gone away.

7 of Spades left the elevator on the fifteenth floor. She had to go to a meeting to decide on new promotional content and deal with the follow-up of the virtual idol "Edwin" quitting the band. Rosie was the only one in the transparent elevator. She leaned against the railing and saw In the distance, the sun sinks slowly, casting the last rays of light across the space as far as the eye can see. The returning bird hovers in mid-air, and the black shadow swoops down towards the forest.

People in the industrial area returned to their homes one by one, and the children wanted to finish their last game of football. The cries and laughter were mixed with the lingering sound of birds flapping their wings.

Rosie stayed at home.

But suddenly she began to miss home.

The private elevator she took was only used by her and 7 of Spades. She didn't leave the elevator until the sun disappeared into the horizon, and stepped into the top floor for her living and office.

The room was completely dark, but just after she took two steps forward, the light suddenly turned on automatically, and the warm yellow light illuminated the room. The living room and kitchen were cleaned, and Rosie was stunned for a moment: "... ...Queen?"

It wasn't that someone else came in, but her super AI Q of Spades turned on the light for her.

The Q of Spades didn't respond, and Rosie didn't say anything else. She stuffed herself into the sofa, sank into it, didn't think about anything, and didn't turn on the computer.

——Normal people play games to be happy, but if they play games to live, then it is meaningless.

With Spade Q helping her to keep an eye on the game content, she doesn't have to worry about the occupied area suddenly becoming unoccupied without her noticing. It's rare that she doesn't have to open the computer interface all the time. Rosie's mind is empty, and she suddenly doesn't know what to do.

For four full months, even when she was sleeping, she would press this special computer under the pillow. Even when dreaming, she would occasionally dream of the screen in the game. She thought that she might not be able to get rid of it before going home. life is gone, but now with the Queen of Spades.

The headlights above the head were automatically turned off, and the light strips in the living room were also turned off, leaving only the not-so-bright wall lamps. Rosie heard the sound of some machine starting in the room. Some furry little problems, the desk lamp on Rosie's left hand suddenly turned on, creating a warm yellow light around her, and then, a translucent figure appeared beside her.

— still a dwarf.

The high-tech instruments in Rosie's room are all purchased by 7 of Spades. Even though most of them are dusty, 7 of Spades does not allow her to have them, and always only buys the best.

It seems that Spade Q has mastered the electronic equipment in her room, and then used the equipment that projects virtual idols to project herself out.

The little girl with white hair and red pupils hugged a pillow and sat beside Rosie, as if she was in a daze with her.

However, although she "sat" down, there was no concave curvature on the sofa, because she was just a projection.

The atmosphere was extremely quiet for a moment. Through the open window, one could see lights flickering in the distant city. Rosie moved her shoulders and was about to get up when the TV screen in front of her automatically turned on and clicked on it without her controlling it. the pet channel.

Rosie: "..."

She looked at Spade Q, and Spade Q said in that calm voice: "Through observation and calculation, I deduce that what you want to see is this."

Occasionally, when she needs to relax and doesn't want to use her brain, Rosie will click on various cute videos of cats, dogs, and small animals. As for playing other games... Although she can relax, she often plays games seriously, and the result is exhausted. mental power.

Rosie didn't know what to do after lifting half of her body and sinking back into the sofa again, but she realized that if she was raised by the staff like this, she might become a useless person who could only "play games".

Spade Q's hair "fluttered" in the breeze, surrounded by the particle light effects of the virtual idol, the little girl suddenly said, "Do you need to search for kitten purchasing channels for you, or add a cat adoption account? "

Rosie came back to her senses: "...No need."

Q of Spades tilted his head to look at her, and said for a while, "Okay."

Rosie: "..." She suspected that Q of Spades found her various browsing records about buying cats and adopting cats from her tablet computer...but she never placed an order.

Of course, the boss of Qixingxing is not unable to raise a cat, but... Rosie thought about it. Although the super intelligent Q of Spades is very intelligent, it is more like a blank sheet of paper that needs to be cultivated. If the 7 of Spades is in the Here, she will not explain, but facing the Q of Spades, which is probably blessed by the image of a little girl, Rosie said: "Because raising a cat is not adding a pet to the house, for me it is ushering in a ten-year companion who wants to accompany me." family for several years."

And she may not stay in this world for more than ten years.

Spade Q's red eyes moved, and the straightforward AI said: "You have a boyfriend."

Rosie: "...boyfriends are different from cats."

She scratched her hair: "My boyfriend is your love, I wish, understand, even if I leave, what he loses is just a relationship, he is an adult... But the cat is different, I am the only cat, raising a cat is responsible for the other a life."

Rosie also couldn't figure out why she was here explaining to an AI what love between men and women is, and what is love between pets. Q of Spades can capture all kinds of Explain, but the little girl obediently listened to her pale explanation, as if her naive and immature view was her whole world.

Rosie gave up.

Because it suddenly occurred to her that the deformed relationship between her and the staff was like that between people and pets. She hadn't thought about, or tried to think about, what would happen to the staff if she left——

Have freedom?

Or lose your own world?

Just thinking about it, then explaining to Q of Spades why she doesn't have cats...seems kind of cruel.

She shook her head, and asked Spade Q to send a message to the company's employees, and to carry out a renovation on her top floor, so that Spade Q could make his own projection appear anywhere in the room. It was already eight o'clock when the renovation was completed. Most of the fragrance of flowers has dissipated.

When the workers appeared on the top floor, Q of Spades disappeared voluntarily. It was not until they left that the figure of the little girl reappeared. She ran around on this floor, simulating the sound of running, and the light particles scattered in the air. Rosie finally Picking up the computer, she was about to figure out how to complete the task of [Phase [-]]. She was sitting on the armchair on the balcony, and heard the Q of Spades running in front of her.

The little girl said, "Look."

Rosie looked up—

The little girl raised her hands, palms up, holding an ignorant pineapple cat cub, with yellow and white spotted coat, who looked less than two months old.

"You..." Rosie suddenly realized that the virtual projection cannot hold up a real kitten, "You want to—"

The Q of Spades creates a realistic projection of a kitten, just like the kitten Rosie would encounter on a walk in the neighborhood or school, and she would kneel down and tentatively pet it head.

Spade Q's expression remained unchanged, the light penetrated the little girl's body, and the cat seemed real and unreal. She said in that serious tone: "This is my cat, and his name is Jack."

"But it's not convenient for me to raise him," she made a distressed expression, but it only lasted for two seconds, and the expression returned to normal, "...so can I be fostered by the boss?"

Rosie: "...OK."

The girl pursed her lips, and put the little tabby cat Jack (and it was a boy) into Rosie's arms. It was still a phantom, without any sense of touch or weight. The kitten lay on Rosie's lap obediently and licked it. Mao, Rosie could hardly see the "serious" expression on his furry face.

She wanted to laugh a little.

Then she really laughed. She "touched" the kitten's fur, carefully keeping her fingers from passing through the kitten's body. warm touch.

Of course Rosie knows that there are no kittens at all, and the super AI does not know how to raise electronic kittens. The little girl in front of her and the kitten on her body are both Q of Spades. Q of Spades thought of this clumsy way...to coax her happy.

...but she was really coaxed.

The electronic kitten was lying on her lap. At this moment, Rosie had already thought of what kind of cat climbing frame to order. The Q of Spades probably specially controlled it so that the cat’s body would not "wear the mold". If Rosie The fingers are about to pass through her body, and the cat will climb onto her shoulders, which can almost be mistaken for the real one. From the cat nest to the cat climbing frame, Rosie couldn't help but say: "...the current technology should be able to make a cat that will generate heat. mechanical pet?"

Spade Q: "..." The superintelligence still can't understand her mood at the moment, but she always feels that... Jack is clearly also her, but she "falls out of favor"?

The mobile phone that was left on the sofa rang at this moment, interrupting Rosie's thoughts. The Q of Spades lost focus at this moment, and said calmly: "It's Timothy Drake's call, he asked you to guess who he is. Where, he has actually arrived in Newark with his friends and wants to surprise you."

Rosie: "..."

She should have told the Q of Spades...it wouldn't be a surprise if she said it.
