Chapter 1509: Hit the Zhongda Jackpot

Ning Yan didn’t understand who Feng Yi was referring to with "my brother" and had no intention of finding out.

Seeing Feng Yi pick out something for him, Ning Yan said, "I think your brother might need an AI robot to take care of daily needs."

Feng Yi had the clerk wrap up the clothes she picked, turned to him with a mysterious smile and shook her head, "Wrong!"

Ning Yan expressed his curiosity about why it was "wrong."

Feng Yi said, "AI robots do not have emotions, they have no independent thinking, so—their so-called matching is based on online data, analyzed from statistics, but these data rely on popular preferences and choices."

"Scientists are unique, why become like everyone else?"

Ning Yan was left speechless by Feng Yi’s words, it’s true, this is the gulf that AI robots can never bridge.

How to create a consciousness like a human’s.

Suddenly, he began to doubt the direction of his future research, wondering if the road ahead was still clear, if he was still allowed to explore step by step?

"So you see, robots are great but they will never be a real person, and their clothing combinations aren’t necessarily the most fashionable." Feng Yi took the shopping bag handed over by the salesgirl with satisfaction and pulled Ning Yan towards the exit.

"Got everything, shall we head back to the Research Institute?" Feng Yi looked at him eagerly. She didn’t want to go back so soon.

Just about to agree, Ning Yan paused for a moment and suggested, "Since we’re going to be like siblings with Miss Su Li, I’d like to buy a gift for Miss Su Li, let’s pick something out first."

Hearing this, Feng Yi almost cheered, and the two began to stroll through the mall again.

Ning Yan had never given a woman anything in his life, so after consulting Feng Yi, he decided to buy a bracelet.

As they stepped into the jewelry store, the golden and silver light made his eyes ache.

Feng Yi leaned on the glass counter, nudged him with her elbow, "You’re only buying for my mom? I kind of want one too."

Ning Yan kept his eyes straight ahead, "Money’s a bit tight right now."

This meant he couldn’t buy more.

Feng Yi muttered under her breath, "Broke and stingy."

Ning Yan ignored her, had the salesgirl wrap it up, and as Feng Yi saw him paying, she walked outside, where there was a prize drawing booth. As long as your store purchase reached a certain amount, you could enter the draw.

Of course, most people only won trinkets worth a few dozen bucks, hardly noteworthy.

Ning Yan glanced at her, signaled to the clerk at the counter, and whispered something.

After a while, Ning Yan came out holding a small gift and said calmly, "Let’s go."

Feng Yi watched the prize draw, a formality long gone after eighteen years, with keen interest and asked, "Didn’t your purchase qualify for a draw? Can you let me have that chance?"

Ning Yan: "Sure."

Feng Yi knew he didn’t like these unpredictable activities, but asked him anyway.

She lined up to enter the draw and drew a number.

The MC came out and said a few words to the judge, then the judge raised Feng Yi’s hand and announced, "Young lady, you’ve won the grand prize, a Star Necklace!"

Feng Yi was dumbfounded! Did she really win?

Feng Yi looked at Ning Yan, "Uncle Ning... I won?"

Ning Yan: "Maybe."

"What do you mean maybe? Listen, they said I won! I won! Hurry, hurry, I want to claim my prize, it’s a necklace!"
