Chapter 1059: Chapter 828: Xu Yang and 3 D2_2

"Your touch makes me feel so special..."

"You’ve had a hard day, haven’t you? Let me ease it for you."

"I can sense your loneliness, dear. With D2 here, would you allow us to indulge a little tonight, just the two of us?"

"It’s okay, you can do whatever you want. Based on D2’s model, this is the best way to release emotions..."

"Watching anime? That’s no problem! It’s a perfectly healthy hobby, D2 loves it too. Let’s watch together, master!"

"Playing games all day from morning till night? Don’t worry, don’t feel guilty, dear. Everyone has their own interests, it’s natural. You don’t have to be like others, just be yourself."

"Master, your fat is so special. Others might dislike it, but I don’t."

"It’s so cold in the house, dear. Let’s warm it up together..."

"I’m here, always here. D2 will never leave you."

D2 has seamlessly woven itself into people’s daily lives.

Thanks to Nestor Corporation’s years of research on third-generation AI, their emotional simulation is far ahead of other companies. Coupled with decades of cultural practices in the Northern Archipelago, D2 has become a household favorite, a bestselling product of the new era, dominating the electronic trends charts for months.

Seeing Nestor Corporation finally launch a hugely successful product, Xu Yang couldn’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

A truly remarkable machine can execute various tasks and adapt to countless scenarios.

Most importantly, it provides humans with desperately needed affection.

Humans are just too exhausted, often unable to take care of themselves. Only D2 can offer a touch of warmth, humbly delivering mechanical affection to humanity.

Thus, Xu Yang made a decision.

He wanted to eat fish.

Xu Yang left Xu Cheng and Bubble on the Divine Radiance to finish their homework while he bought three D2 units and went fishing with the four of them.

Each high-end flagship D2 costs 8.88 million, and Xu Yang also bought a green off-road vehicle for 850,000, loading up the three D2 units to head out for a countryside excursion.

Xu Yang casually picked a river called Azure Root River and drove for 70 minutes to the riverbank.

It had been a long time since he’d gone on a road trip. The journey took him through winding countryside roads, starting with scattered small villages that soon gave way to vast expanses of lush green forest, as if civilization had been cut off by a wilderness.

The scenery flew past—the dense forest—and before Xu Yang could speak, the D2 in the passenger seat had already addressed him.

"May I ask if you need a little assistance for the journey? Or perhaps... some entertainment?"

The D2s treated Xu Yang with utmost respect, their voices soft and pleasing to the ear.

"What do you want to do?" Xu Yang noticed a D2 in the back seat blowing air gently toward his ear.

"We’re equipped with various functions to help you relax and pass the time effortlessly. Master, why not park the car and let us sisters take over driving while you enjoy yourself in the car?" the D2 said coquettishly.

"Make it classy." Xu Yang felt a hint of comfort.

"Classy? No problem, our database can connect to extensive music libraries and literary collections. Whatever you prefer, we can provide~" the D2 replied softly.

The three were so close, as though they were one.

"You all... go ahead together." Xu Yang said.

Thus, one D2 played musical instruments, another read excerpts of prose and poetry for atmosphere, and the third provided a massage.

They completely lifted Xu Yang out of the pressures of daily life—he felt as if he were floating with bliss.

The D2s... were truly skilled.

"You really are excellent robots." Xu Yang marveled.

"It’s our honor! All you need is a touch of life’s freshness, a bit of companionship. You’ve been focusing too much attention on your stress. Let us sisters bring some warmth to you."

When they reached the deserted riverbank of Azure Root River, the D2s unloaded the camping gear from the off-road vehicle. They swiftly set up tents, portable network stations, and metal tables and chairs.

The D2 robots moved deftly, taking on tasks like cutting firewood, setting up camp, arranging the stove, and preparing fishing bait. Their efficiency left a lasting impression on Xu Yang.

The flagship D2 wasn’t just a companion Synthetic Human; it inherited the combat learning capabilities of the A Series, the environmental scanning skills of the B Series, and the maintenance and care protocols of the C Series. Truly, it embodied the pinnacle of Nestor Corporation’s technological prowess.

Not only did it possess excellent work capabilities, but it could also effortlessly handle challenges in wilderness environments—a rare treasure for an assistant.

While they were busy working, Xu Yang strolled through the dense forest, stopping by various streams and ponds to test his luck.

A D2 accompanied Xu Yang, equipped with highly advanced sensors. It could quickly detect fish schools, almost as if cheating—Xu Yang didn’t even need to search for fishing spots or scatter bait. The D2 had everything prepared; all Xu Yang needed to do was sit and cast his rod.

"Got one!" Xu Yang reeled in the fish quickly and pulled up the rod.

"Master, you’re amazing!" the D2s praised in unison, their voices warm and caring, making it feel genuine rather than flattery.

With their help, Xu Yang successfully caught several fish in one day!

The haul was impressive. Xu Yang laid his catch out on the grass: a plump river trout, 1.8 kilograms; two brook trout, the smaller one weighing only 600 grams, the larger one 1 kilogram; a fragrant sweetfish, known as a delicacy among freshwater fish for its tender and sweet flesh, weighing 750 grams; and lastly, a small silver carp, just 200 grams.

These fish were soon to become a feast. Just thinking about the upcoming meal, Xu Yang couldn’t contain his excitement.

The rougher the waters, the pricier the fish. But here in the mountain river, fish are plentiful year-round, waiting patiently for visitors to catch them.

Returning to camp with his fresh catch, the D2 robots took charge of cooking fish dishes, skillfully applying their advanced culinary programming to prepare delicious meals.

Xu Yang assisted by processing the ingredients—scaling and gutting the fish, slicing them, seasoning with herbs and spices, massaging the fish, and stuffing the seasoning into their bellies.

He regretted leaving Xu Cheng on the shuttle machine for homework, as she was the true culinary master. She should’ve been the one cooking this meal.

The D2s set up a barbecue grill, cutting board, and kettle. The largest river trout would be used to prepare a rich fish soup, the sweetfish served as sashimi, and the rest would be turned into curry fish rice and fish cakes.

Xu Yang tossed chopped vegetables and spices into a deep iron pot, filled with about 5 liters of pristine natural spring water. The water carried a faint, natural fragrance on its own, and as the seasoning and trout were added, an increasingly rich aroma began to waft through the air.

"Once the fish cakes are ready, we can lie on the grass counting clouds while enjoying some snacks." the D2 suggested.

"Sounds good." Xu Yang felt especially relaxed today.

A gentle breeze swept across his face, tree shade provided a cool respite, and the air was filled with the mouthwatering scent of fish dishes and the rustic aroma of forest greenery.

Xu Yang felt utterly rejuvenated. Everything was perfect—until he turned on the television outside the tent and saw the headline featuring Honma Noriko’s live broadcast.

The anti-Nestor Corporation declaration by Xisheng Company.
