Chapter 509: Maid

Meng Junhua returned to his room right after he finished dinner. For the project, the emergency spacecraft was modified into an official research spacecraft. Aside from laboratories of all sizes, there was a residential area built at the border that was able to accommodate around 100,000 people. However, most of the rooms were vacant and only up to 1,000 people occupied the rooms with most of them being researchers.

”Master, are you home?” As he opened the door, a maid greeted him and a gust of fragrance blew over his face. She was beautiful with big eyes that looked as innocent as lilies in the morning and looked weak in her maid attire that flaunted her long, fair legs. She was perfect, there was no flaw on her skin and she seemed unreal. The truth was, she was not a real person but was actually a robot maid. Its bones were made of light metal, her flesh a replica of the human flesh structure. With simple artificial intelligence, she could converse with people, carry out house chores and perform other unique tasks. It was a hit among the single researchers.

However, such robot maids were only available for researchers who were single. According to the statistics, the marital rate had dropped to a new low ever since the sale of the robot maids began for the researchers who were single. If it was available on the market, it could start a series of societal issues. However, the biggest sacrifice researchers had to give was their knowledge. Their family had become a second priority. Moreover, most of the researchers lived in solitude so a human-like partner was not necessary.

Meng Junhua allowed the maid to take off his protective clothing and asked, ”How are you today, Xiao Lin?”

”I’m good, I miss you.” Xiao Lin replied.

”There’s nothing I can do about it. I have work, it'll take a while more. Soon I'll take a day off and rest at home.” Meng Junhua stared into the maid's innocent eyes. Although he knew the maid’s character was set by him, it broke his heart to see her like that.

The maid had brought him happiness during the time they shared together. She was loving and obedient, never rejecting any of his requests and would never betray him, being loyal to a fault.

”That would not be necessary. Your work is important. You don’t have to spend time with me as long as you think of me whenever you are.”

”Master you must be exhausted from working all day. Would you like me to give you a massage?” The maid smiled flirtatiously, the room brightening up at that instant.

Meng Junhua was stunned, it was a temptation for him. After all, he was only in his 20s where his testosterone was at its peak. If this happened in the past, he would have given in to the temptation. However, he was inspired at work today so he managed to control his urge, ”It’s okay, I have some documents to look at. Get me a cup of tea!”

”Yes, master!” The maid looked disappointed, almost looking like a real person.

”Do you need warm water as well?”

”Warm water it is!” Looking at the maid sashaying away, Meng Junhua bit his tongue and thought to himself, ”Damn!”

”My demanding ex-girlfriend was total trash compared to this maid!”

…

As the maid left, Meng Junhua laid on the bed immediately. He then closed his eyes and entered the network. There was a gigantic quantum relay on the emergency spacecraft that was connected to the mothership. Although it was 100,000 kilometers from the mothership, the network was clear with no delay. Soon, he entered the entrance of the digital library. It was a massive one, similar to the gigantic tower and looked stunning. The digital library today was completely different from the old and boring archive they used to have. It was like virtual reality, the library occupied tens of thousands of square meters. There were 69 floors and they would add eight to ten floors each year. Perhaps this building would be a couple of thousand floors and touch the sky 100 years later.

There were many people walking in and out on the ground floor of the building. Meng Junhua was close with some of them but he did not want to waste his time talking to them so he held his head down as he walked fast to the digital library. Bookshelves occupied the entire floor. However, it was not a real library after all as nobody would have the patience to flip through all the books here. Instead of a library, it should be called the sanctuary of knowledge.
