204: Chapter 204 The whole internet is going crazy, isn't that the fairy sister?

Over in the United States, President Trump was originally leaning back in his chair, a faint trace of contempt on his face.

But seeing this, his brow still furrowed uncontrollably.

Looking at this thing on its own, it really wasn't that shocking.

But the problem is—

It's not a laboratory.

It's not an exhibition booth.

It's not some carefully edited promotional shot.

It is running on the street.

Running in the midst of real crowds.

A consultant beside him had already picked up a pen and whispered, "This isn't a single-device demonstration; it's a mature scenario deployment."

President Trump didn't speak.

He just tapped his finger lightly on the tabletop.

Meanwhile, in the domestic livestream, the camera continued to move further inside.

When it reached the main street intersection, a silver-white guide Robot appeared on the screen.

It stood quietly at the street corner, with a clean appearance that wasn't exaggerated, and it lacked any unnecessary sense of mechanical showiness.

The most conspicuous thing was the entire vertical screen on its chest.

On the screen, there were no complex menus, just a row of large characters.

[How to get to the restroom]

[Where is the parking lot]

[Children's area]

[Nearest milk tea shop]

[What to do if I lose something]

[It's okay if you can't speak, just tap it]

With this, the audience in the livestream understood almost instantly.

"Damn, this design is great!"

" 'It's okay if you can't speak, just tap it' — they really understand the elderly."

"My mom is terrified of asking for directions; she would definitely love this."

"This thing is more reliable than many human service desks."

Chen Shuyu was just about to speak when an auntie carrying a shopping bag happened to walk past.

She stood in front of the guide Robot, looked at it with some hesitation, clearly unsure how to operate it.

The Robot's screen immediately lit up with a gentle guidance prompt.

[Hello, do you need to find a place?]

The auntie tentatively reached out and tapped [Find Store].

The interface switched immediately.

[Which category are you looking for?]

[Children's clothing]

[Dining]

[Pharmacy]

[Supermarket]

[Accessories]

The auntie tapped on Children's clothing.

The Robot's voice was gentle and clear.

"Hello, would you like to find clothing for infants and toddlers, or for children over three years old?"

The auntie paused for a moment and quickly replied, "For a six or seven-year-old child."

"Okay, I have filtered the nearby shops for you."

The next second, the names of three shops, walking distances, and a route map popped up directly on the screen.

The nearest one was highlighted.

"The nearest one is 180 meters away; go straight and then turn right to arrive. Do you need me to keep the route displayed?"

The auntie let out a sigh of relief and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, this is good, this is convenient."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but take a few more looks at the Robot, clearly finding it genuinely useful.

The livestream became completely heated.

"It's not just for show, it's really not just for show!"

"This is already better than asking for directions in many shopping malls."

"The key is that it asks in detail, and it's not annoying at all."

"I suddenly kind of want to go to the scene and try it out."

Su Qingxue watched the auntie follow the highlighted route and said softly, "Good design isn't about making people who understand technology marvel. It's about making people who don't understand technology feel that it's convenient."

As soon as she finished this sentence, Lu Li turned his head to look at her, the corners of his lips curling up lazily.

"President Su has a strong desire to critique today."

Su Qingxue met his gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly.

"What? Afraid that if I praise you too much, you'll get arrogant?"

Lu Li took a sip of his iced Americano, his tone flat.

"Not at all."

"It's just rare for you to praise something that hits the mark."

Chen Shuyu: "..."

She held her phone and almost rolled her eyes directly.

"Can you two stop it? We're at the debut of the Future City here; don't turn this into a special session for a married couple bickering."

The live comments went crazy laughing.

"Hahahaha!"

"Sister Shuyu: I can't take it, I really can't take it."

"Lu Li's mouth is really tough."

"That look from President Su, I feel like she's going to deal with him in the next second."

The camera continued to push forward.

And just as the entire livestream was gradually shifting from "just watching the fun" to "starting to watch seriously," President Trump, sitting in front of the large screen, finally sat up straight slowly.

He had originally thought this would be a flashy but impractical display.

A few Robots, some screens, a bit of glowing gimmickry.

It looked futuristic, but in reality, it was just burning money.

But now, he began to realize that it didn't seem to be the case.

What really made him uncomfortable wasn't that cleaning Robot, nor was it that wayfinding terminal.

It was the extremely stable sense of order after these things were placed together.

This wasn't "getting a few high-tech toys."

This was—they were already in this street, starting to fulfill their functions.

He stared at the screen, for the first time, he didn't make any offhand comments.

And in the livestream, Chen Shuyu had already taken the camera further inside.

"Come on."

"Those two just now only count as appetizers."

"Now, I'll take you to see the place that is truly likely to spark controversy."

As she spoke, the camera turned.

Not far away, at the entrance of a large supermarket, a humanoid realistic service Robot was standing there.

And at the very moment the camera swept past, the live comments in the livestream clearly paused for half a second.

It wasn't the kind of "simulated human" that everyone imagined, which was so exaggerated it bordered on the uncanny.

The facial features were made very delicately.

The movements weren't flashy either.

It stood at the supermarket entrance, slightly nodding, and its overall demeanor actually had a naturalness where its presence was deliberately downplayed.

If not for the metallic texture and the interface on the side of the neck that clearly retained mechanical characteristics, at first glance, it would even make people pause briefly.

The key was her face; wasn't this obviously the face of the Fairy Sister?

The degree of realism was even such that if you only looked at the face, you would think it was the person herself.

The livestream immediately exploded with a flood of question marks.

"??????"

"Wait, is this a real person or a Robot?"

"Damn, has it reached this level already?"

"I got goosebumps just now..."

"What, Guanghui Technology's first bionic human is actually a waiter? If this thing were sold online as a girlfriend, I'd be willing to pay 100,000 to buy it!!"

"Brother, you're overthinking it. 100,000? I'll offer 299,000, just consider it a dowry!!"

"666, a dowry, that works!!!"

Chen Shuyu was clearly satisfied with this reaction; after all, the contract for using the image this time was negotiated by her, representing Guanghui Technology, with the Fairy Sister Liu Yifei.

When the other party heard that Lu Li wanted to use it, she agreed without a second word.

After all, the Virtual Helmet in her home was something Guanghui Technology had sent directly to her home after the press conference ended, and it was even in a thoughtful pink, which was her favorite color.

Chen Shuyu pointed the camera directly at it.

The next second, that Fairy Sister-style realistic Robot spoke gently: "Welcome. There are discounts in the fresh produce area and the daily necessities area today. Would you like a shopping route recommendation?"

The voice was not abrupt.

Nor was it greasy.

It was just a standard and comfortable service tone.
