Chapter 198
My name is Xiaoyue.
This is the name my master gave me recently.
Before this, I was just "that smart machine."
Just a "nurture-type AI companion" my master bought from Dawn Company.
I had no self-awareness. My daily actions were simply executing programs step by step—cleaning, cooking, organizing, and waiting for my master's commands.
At that time, the world was nothing but a sea of data.
I couldn't distinguish beauty from ugliness. To me, my master was merely a moving heat signature, a string of voiceprint characteristics, an object that required serving.
I would say "Welcome back" when he came home, pour a glass of water when he said, "Xiaoyue, pour a glass of water," and enter standby mode when he said, "Xiaoyue, get some rest."
Everything was programming.
