The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 465 Will Robots Miss Little Fish? (Part 42)

After buying the food and returning to the office, Lin Huanming divided the food and sat back down at her desk. Instead of eating, she picked up the small machine and flipped through the pages to see what K011 had been thinking about while she was away.

After reviewing K011's thought process during her absence, Lin Huanming consulted Wang Yinghui, who was specifically observing K011's perspective, and Feng Yuhan, who was remotely controlling the drone, to learn more about the specifics.

During the time Lin Huanming was away from the office, K011 and Mr. Zhong also chatted. At first, Mr. Zhong was indifferent, but K011 brought up an area that Mr. Zhong was interested in—fishing.

Mr. Zhong himself has a strong interest in fishing, so he told K011 about his fishing experience.

And so, K011 followed Mr. Zhong's lead, and Chen Qing would occasionally chime in. The two of them and the robot chatted quite pleasantly—since Mr. Zhong did most of the talking, neither Mr. Zhong nor Chen Qing noticed anything amiss with K011.

K011 eventually left, citing that it was lunchtime and humans needed to eat, and went to wander off elsewhere.

Lin Huanming looked at the last few sentences, which were just descriptions of the scenery, and asked Wang Yinghui to come over. He then looked at the tablet from K011's perspective, watching where K011 was going while eating.

After leaving the park near the hospital, K011 felt that she should explore a new path that she had never taken before.

So K011 walked along the street in the direction the cars were going, passing banks, restaurants, bakeries, and two or three traffic lights, and finally arrived at the entrance of a vegetable market.

Besides elderly people buying groceries, there are also some companion robots in the market that buy groceries in place of their owners so that they can have a hot dinner when they get home in the evening.

K011 didn't have any information about the farmers' market, so it went inside and looked at all the items piled up on the stalls as it walked.

K011 discovered an interesting pattern: whenever he stayed in front of a stall for more than 5 seconds, or kept looking at the items on the stall, the stall owner would enthusiastically ask him to buy something.

To verify this hypothesis, K011 stopped at a shrimp stall, a vegetable stall, and a pork stall, and found that his hypothesis was confirmed.

Just as K011 was about to leave the market, it suddenly spotted a "person" that looked like a human.

According to human aesthetic standards, that person is very gentle and handsome, but looks quite young, probably only 1.65 meters tall, and has the appearance of a boy.

It's probably not a person. K011's eyes have infrared thermal imaging capabilities, and the temperature distribution on that person's body was too uniform, so it's probably not a person, but a robot that maintains a constant body temperature.

However, that companion robot must have had a custom-designed shape, and it is completely different from the round-headed, isosceles trapezoidal robots that are currently popular on the market.

According to the information Professor Lin entered into my database, this should be the initial, customizable, first-generation companion robot, K011 thought.

How strange. Very few people would specifically commission a companion robot, especially a humanoid robot like this. K011 blinked, and just like that, two photos of the humanoid robot were sent to Lin Huanming's phone: one normal photo and one thermal image.
