Chapter 431 - Ketchup

"..."

Iris felt nervous, as she looked at the unmoving Jin Liwei beside her. After all, Ketchup was the reason why she didn't come out of the computer room for fifteen long hours and made him very worried about her.

Jin Liwei stared at the white cat on the computer monitor who was calling him daddy. He wasn't saying anything. Iris gripped his arm and shook it a little, trying to elicit even just a tiny bit of reaction from him, but he remained frozen.

She didn't notice nor care about the dumbfounded reactions of the other two people in the room with them. All she cared about was her darling's verdict on Ketchup. Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Jin Liwei's two tech people felt like they were suddenly thrown face-to-face with aliens. Their eyes popped out and their jaws fell down.

They had thought that Jin Corporation was already hi-tech compared to its competitors in the country, but they couldn't believe this place! Everywhere they looked contained drool-worthy high-tech devices. There were even some unknown equipment that they didn't know the purpose of.They always prided themselves as "experts" in the technology industry but being in this room made them feel like total noobs again.

It felt like they were transported to the future. Were they even still on Earth? Maybe they got sucked inside an alien spaceship or something without their knowledge.

And what the hell was that talking cat?! Sure, it looked super cute and fluffy but it was also super creepy. It was talking like a child and calling the President its daddy!!! If someone ever dared call that normal, then they were probably not living on Earth like the rest of humankind.

It was a good thing that the two tech people had no heart problems or else they would have already croaked to their deaths by now due to the consecutive shocks they kept on receiving since entering this place.

"Meow~ Mommy, why is Daddy not saying anything?" Ketchup asked. "Does he not like Ketchup? Does Daddy hate me?"

Iris also wanted to know. When Jin Liwei still didn't respond, she became dispirited.

"Maybe he doesn't want another cat. Maybe I should've made you into a puppy or a goldfish instead," she mumbled.

"Meow?! But Ketchup likes being a kitty," the white cat whined. "Since Daddy hates me, Ketchup will now self-destruct. Beginning self-destruct sequence in 10...9...8...7..."

Iris now looked very upset. However, she didn't stop Ketchup.

"What are you doing?! Stop! Stop it!" Jin Liwei roared. "Ketchup, listen to your daddy!"

Finally, a reaction from him.

"—4...3...meow? Aborting self-destruct sequence...

"Aborted! Meow~"

Jin Liwei heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at the white cat again. It now had its tail straight up, quivering in excitement. Its glowing green eyes stared straight at him and blinked slowly. It looked happy that it didn't have to self-destruct. Its expression looked very real that it reminded Jin Liwei of both Ice Cream and Popcorn.

He turned to Iris beside him. His expression silently asked her to explain what was going on.

"Darling...this is Ketchup," Iris introduced him to the white cat on the computer screen. "She's the successful form of the AI that I've been working on for quite some time now—years, actually. I've always wanted to develop my own AI that is uniquely mine, but I was never satisfied with my earlier prototypes. They were all robotic and...well, boring. Those ones weren't really that different from the other available AI created by others. I was always at a loss on how to give my AI a personality with a wide range of emotions.
