Chapter 217: The companion doll
"Oh. It’s so cute." Chi Lian gushed. "You said it can walk on its own, right?" she asked T4.
"Yes host, the pingu companion doll is the most preferred companion for children and adults who live alone. It can be used as a conversational aid for toddlers who are struggling to talk. All you have to do is upload what topics you want it to discuss and it will do the rest." T4 explained.
Chi Lian studied the penguin; she remembered that back on earth in the old days there was a cartoon on television with a Penguin called pingu. Was it a coincidence that this doll was also called Pingu? Could there be a traverser on T4’s world?
"Host, the uploading point is on its ass, just lift the short tail and connect a flash drive. The companion can also be used an educational tool if you upload educational data to it. I think it has the potential for mass production and use in this world, the software is quite simple and it can hold basic conversations I think the market will be large for it."
"I agree." She replied and then she gave the companion doll to little monk.
The little boy looked at the toy in curious wonder and then he looked at his mother. His eyes posed the question," What do I do with this?"
On the Penguin’s stomach were two buttons, one green for on and one red for off.
She pressed start and the penguin started talking, "I like the snow, do you like snow?" it asked Chi Lian.
"No, I think it’s cold and uncomfortable." She answered.
"Have you considered taking hot chocolate? A cup of hot chocolate in the cold weather is very satisfying." The doll answered.
"I don’t like chocolate." She answered.
