Chapter 0003 has encountered a rival so soon

With the introduction of ET, Zhou Qingfeng roughly understands his identity. To put it bluntly, he is a poor man with no money, no friends, and no status, living off social welfare, with a wallet cleaner than his face, yet inexplicably has a good relationship with the Lawrence family

What ...? ... That annoying little follower is starting to pay attention to that dog now?

The windows of the house have all been burned into holes, and part of the roof has been carbonized. From the outside looking in, one can see that the furniture inside the house has also been burned to pieces, the floor is pitch black, making it look like a haunted house

Burning a house ... what does it mean

Thank you all, I truly do not know how to express my gratitude Zhou Qingfeng obediently walked into the Lawrence family's house and sat in the living room waiting for dinner

Columbia University is located in the Manhattan area of New York. Moreover, Zhou Qingfeng has seen this dog in a movie; it is the pet of one of David Lawrence's little followers. To be honest, having such a capable and adorable robotic dog as a pet is truly enviable

Moreover, its intelligence has reached the level of an eight-year-old child, capable of handling more complex situations and even possessing the ability to learn independently. In comparison, I am merely at the level of a two-year-old child

When the great disaster struck, everyone was either busy scavenging for supplies or engaging in rampant looting and robbery. Yet, how many people understood that before the chaos arrived, gathering a few helpers was far more advantageous than anything else! As long as one possesses great strength, seizing money, food, and women would lead to acquiring everything one desires

Zhou Qingfeng followed David Lawrence's gaze and turned to look behind him. He saw a dark, grim house behind him, or rather, a house that had been rendered utterly miserable by smoke and fire.

However, the evaluation by ET did not provide Zhou Qingfeng with any favorable results, as it still stated that 'the likelihood of you obtaining it is extremely low'

Mr. Hugo, you moved to Murdoch Avenue two years ago and have been living alone ever since. You rely on social assistance for your livelihood and occasionally take on odd jobs to earn a little income. Your social circle is quite small, and you basically only know the Lawrence family

Alright, Jehovah, you are indeed ruthless! I, too, can be considered as having a blank slate identity, almost completely devoid of possessions, and the only place I had to settle has been burned down by fire

"Hello, Mr. Victor Hugo. Could you tell me what you are discussing with my wife and daughter?" David Lawrence asked teasingly as he approached.

However, upon seeing ET, Zhou Qingfeng's mind began to stir. Being all alone, he indeed needed a reliable assistant, and an intelligent robot would be quite suitable. Moreover, in three days, all of New York would descend into chaos, making it an opportune moment for cunning plunder.

ET responded: "According to the current world rankings, the best personal assistant robot is the quadruped intelligent machine 'Dog Meat' recently designed by Columbia University"

This dilapidated house is my home? Jehovah, are you mistaken! It's one thing not to provide me with a mansion, but at least give me a house that is livable! Providing me with such a place is too stingy

Zhou Qingfeng understands that his primary task at present is not to collect a large amount of supplies, but to build a good relationship with the Lawrence family, laying the groundwork to cope with the impending catastrophe. David Lawrence is the male protagonist, who will experience a surge of fortune within three months and is absolutely destined to survive.

After understanding his identity, Zhou Qingfeng still asked ET to prepare a drink for him. However, when the intelligent machine delivered the drink to him, he shifted his attention back to this futuristic technological device

ET said: "Because Tony Parker is already planning to steal that mechanical dog, if you want to join the competition now, the chances of winning are extremely low"

"ET, could you help me assess the likelihood of my obtaining this mechanical dog if the military personnel were to disappear?" Zhou Qingfeng asked persistently.

Queens, New York, 200th Street, Murdoch Avenue. ET displays a map on the projection screen, indicating the current location of Zhou Qingfeng.

"Dog meat" is a prototype developed with the support of the U.S. military and is not for sale to the public. It is said that the development costs have exceeded 2 billion dollars, and it took more than ten years to produce a single prototype. The likelihood of obtaining it is extremely low," ET said

Unlike me, who can only be used within the household, 'Dog Meat' features bionic muscles and bones in its four limbs and body, enabling it to walk on complex terrains. It is equipped with a graphene battery that has ample energy reserves, granting it a load capacity of 200 kilograms and an operational time of over one week

"ET, where is the best personal assistant robot in New York?" Zhou Qingfeng asked

"No, I don't want to drink anything for now," Zhou Qingfeng initially declined. However, seeing the Lawrence family busy in the kitchen, he asked again, "Could you check my information? I would like to see my current status, especially regarding my financial situation and interpersonal relationships."

This robot was named `ET' by Anji, and it stores a vast amount of information in its intelligent brain. Anji brought it along while fleeing with his father.

Is there any way to get that 'dog meat' machine? Zhou Qingfeng thought that having a mechanical dog by his side would be quite nice, at least very cool and also very practical

The family robot is not very large, with a round head and a cute appearance, relying on two small tracks as its means of locomotion. It controls almost all the electronic devices in the house, making it very convenient

The technological level in 2030 is significantly higher than that of 2016, with smart home devices everywhere. Although the Lawrence family is not wealthy, they still have some good things at home. For instance, as Zhou Qingfeng just sat down on the sofa, a home robot approached him and inquired, "Mr. Hugo, would you like something to drink?"

Oh! It seems that your performance was indeed very successful. David Lawrence then smiled and invited, "Would you like to come to our house for dinner? I certainly do not wish to see you burn down your house again while cooking."

Having such a robot at home is truly wonderful! Of course, this highly intelligent device does not come cheap. David Lawrence's annual income of 60,000 dollars is absolutely insufficient to purchase a new one; this device is entirely assembled from discarded electronic parts that Angie scavenged from the second-hand market

What time are you returning? In three days, all of New York will be in chaos, and in three months, there will be nuclear bombs to cleanse the area. I have no desire to live here permanently

"By the way, where am I right now?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.

Of course, I will contact the public database for you immediately. The eyes of the household robot began to perform a virtual projection, displaying a screen in front of Zhou Qingfeng.

Zhou Qingfeng looked at his dilapidated house and sighed in frustration. David Lawrence stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, reassuringly saying: "Don't worry, I will help you fix the house. Just give me some time. Come on, Rachel must have dinner ready by now"

Uh... actually, I was just performing in a play. You see, I successfully made all of you laugh." Zhou Qingfeng could only say this. At the same time, he was internally mocking himself for sharing the same name as "Victor Hugo," wondering how he could possibly have the same name as the great French literary figure

The U.S. military? Three days later, the U.S. military simply disappeared, there is nothing to fear!

Why? Zhou Qingfeng is unhappy, the U.S. government has disappeared, the U.S. military has vanished, and even the police in the United States are nowhere to be found. Am I still unable to handle this matter?
