946 Not So Mighty Kitty Babies (1/2)
Afterwards, both AI children looked thoroughly chastised. Ketchup was teary while the stone-faced Bacon's tail was drooping.
”Wuwuwu! We're so sorry, Mommy! Ketchup and Bacon had been very bad kitty babies tonight and battled another hacker by ourselves! We, kitty babies, thought that we could handle the opponent but Ketchup and Bacon underestimated him. Meowuwuwu!”
”Bacon will train harder at Shadow Winds and become stronger so that it will be our turn to protect Mother next time.”
Iris sighed but still smiled. ”I'm not mad at the two of you. The way you coordinated with one another and focused on your own respective strengths while filling for the other's weakness is quite commendable. It was just that you ran into a tough opponent who's above your current level this time. Still, I'm pleased that you had the presence of mind to immediately run to me for help the moment you figured out that you're unable to defeat the opponent by yourselves. Let this be a learning experience for the two of you. You need to improve your teamwork.”
”Aye aye, Mommy! The cute and not so mighty Ketchup will strive to become mighty again! Meow!”
”Bacon will do my best to become stronger and have the power to protect our whole family.”
She reached the computer screen and rubbed her AI children's faces. At that moment, she wished that she could physically hug the two of them.
”I'll tweak your configurations in the following days and perform various simulations on how you can perform better in different scenarios similar to the hacking battle tonight. Let me also remind you that your first priority will always be your own safety. It's much more important that you're safe than victorious. Do you understand?”
”Aye aye, Mommy! Ketchup understands and will never forget forever and ever again! Meow!”
”Bacon understands, Mother. Also please forgive us for waking you up in the middle of the night. We know that you're having a difficult pregnancy and we didn't mean to disturb you.”
Her heart melted hearing her AI son's sweet words.
”Where did you learn to speak so sweetly, Bacon?” she couldn't help but ask in wonder.
”He obviously inherited it from me, his dad,” Jin Liwei's voice interrupted from behind her.
She turned her head to glance at her husband's serious expression and chuckled.
”Why are you laughing, wife? I'm just stating a fact.”
”Alright, Bacon inherited it from you,” Iris finally said to appease her husband who looked genuinely serious about his claim.
