The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 445 Will Robots Miss Little Fish? (Part 22)

After deciding what actions to guide K011 to take, Feng Yuhan felt that she had recovered enough, so she stood up again and looked at K011, who was chatting with a new mother not far away.

K011 made progress in chatting with strangers this time. The mother raised some doubts a few times, but K011 managed to evade them with her words.

However, to the surprise of the three observers, the child stopped playing in the sand and came over to ask for a hug from his mother.

K011 looked at the child, searched for what humans would do, and then decided to tease the child.

The child was amused by K011's behavior. She grinned, revealing her mouth which didn't have many teeth yet. She pinched K011's outstretched fingers with one small hand and patted K011's leg with the other.

Children have no concept of the force they use, so the little baby slapped K011's mechanical leg with the same force as when slapping other people's thighs. Unsurprisingly, the child's hand hit K011's mechanical leg and made a crisp sound.

The child's hands were also sore from the reaction force of the mechanical legs. She stared at her hands for two seconds, then her mouth twitched, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she started to cry.

The mother initially heard her child pat a passerby's thigh and was about to apologize when she heard a "thump!"

The loud noise startled the mother. After a moment of stunned silence, she heard her child crying and finally realized that the person in front of her seemed to be no ordinary person.

The mother panicked at the thought and quickly picked up her child, moving a little further away from K011.

"This conversation also failed." Lin Huanming looked at the small machine and saw this message displayed.

Actually, K011 did a pretty good job this time, Lin Huanming thought. Although the lady noticed something was wrong halfway through, she didn't find anything too strange.

When K011 returned, Lin Huanming patted its head as encouragement—this was Lu Renkui's suggestion.

When Lu Renkui suggested this to Lin Huanming, Lin Huanming felt that it was meaningless to do such a thing, but Lu Renkui encouraged Lin Huanming to give it a try.

“Well, you’re going to train it to look like a human, aren’t you?” Lu Renkui said at the time. “It’s okay to praise it, since it looks so much like a human anyway.”

When Lin Huanming heard Lu Renkui say that, he also praised K011 whenever he remembered.

K011 received praise from Lin Huanming, and the program told it that it should show happiness at this moment, so K011 smiled at Lin Huanming.

Lin Huanming was taken aback, touched it a couple more times, and then walked over to the mother with the child and explained K011's identity to her.

The mother seemed to have put down her snacks, but she was still giving Lin Huanming a strange look.

Seeing this, Lin Huanming took out his work ID from her pocket, and the mother showed it to him.

This new mother then realized that this must be the new type of companion robot that recently went viral online; she never expected to encounter it herself.

After watching the mother leave with her child, Lin Huanming and his team took K011 for a short while before returning to the research building.

Back in the research building, the system, Xiao Q, urged Feng Yuhan to complete the task again.

"Alright, alright, I'm starting now, aren't I?" Feng Yuhan frowned and led K011 to the activity space.

Lin Huanming was in her office preparing her speech for the press conference three weeks later, so she asked Feng Yuhan and Wang Yingying to go to the event space for a while with the K011 they had brought before.
