"Is this Robot Dog?"

Delicate, slender fingers, white and tender as a flower, reached into the gift box and took out a small dog-like mechanical beast, radiating a shiny gray metallic sheen. Rubbing the cold mechanical body, she couldn't help but ask, captivated by its allure.

I must say, even though what she held in her hands was merely a mechanical beast resembling a young Pomeranian.

However, the craftsmanship from Cybertron Planet gave it a far more exquisite appearance than any high-end animal-shaped mechanical toy on the market. It looked incredibly lifelike.

"Robot Dog? Sort of!"

Catching a glimpse of the smile on her face, Sun Cheng finally lifted his head, diverting his gaze from Xiao Wu, and nodded in response.

He couldn't let Ye Qi see the flicker in his eyes. There was no way the gift he gave her would be as simple as a Robot Dog.

Although he couldn't risk sending a Decepticon that still posed a significant danger to her, the gift Sun Cheng chose for Ye Qi was a mechanical beast of his own design, drawing inspiration from Decepticons like No. 2, Safeguard, and Vengeance.

This Robot Dog surpassed the reconnaissance Decepticons Revenge and Safeguard in terms of combat power even before upgrading.

Being somewhat suspicious by nature, initially, he only made a few as a precaution, intending to give them to his family in case of unforeseen circumstances upon his return.

And now, Sun Cheng was starting to feel grateful for his foresight.

He couldn't believe that such a fortuitous event would occur. Ada Wong, who had interacted with him before and carried numerous enigmas, and even the reconnaissance Decepticon he brought back from another world, which even he found hard to obtain, appeared once again. And not only that, she showed up by Ye Qi's side, placing immense pressure on him.

After all, he now knew that this world was not as straightforward as he had initially imagined.

Quietly sitting at the side, watching Ye Qi cuddle and play with the dog-shaped mechanical beast, he knew that she had always been fond of pets like cats and dogs. However, her mother had allergies to pet hair, so she had never been able to fulfill her wish.

Nevertheless, no matter how exquisitely crafted the mechanical beast was, it couldn't replace the companionship of a real pet solely with its adorable appearance.

Sun Cheng had prepared for this.

He reminded her, "Sis, this is a product from our company, or more precisely, a product still undergoing testing and not yet available to the public. Now, give me the Password lock from the box, and I'll show you how to use it!"

"Password lock?"

Ye Qi was momentarily taken aback but instinctively handed him the box on her fair and beautiful legs.

Retrieving Xiao Wu and taking the box from her, Sun Cheng quickly searched inside and soon found a slender object shaped like a portable USB drive.

He carefully picked it up, fumbled around for a moment, and then pressed a button on the side.

In the next instant, as a soft blue light emanated from the USB drive-like object, a cold mechanical voice accompanied it.

"The Type 01 mechanical pet is about to activate the owner identification device. Please follow the prompts and place your ten fingers, one at a time, in the illuminated circle, from left to right, starting with your thumb and ending with your pinky. Please hold each finger for at least one second!"

"Sis, place your fingers here!"

He pointed to the illuminated circle on the side of the USB drive, resembling an LCD screen, prompting Ye Qi to press her fingers onto it.

"Seems like quite a hassle..."

Although she complained, Ye Qi was clearly very interested in the dog-shaped mechanical beast that she took from his hand. She took the Password lock from his hand and pressed her fair fingers on it.

"...Ding, the fingerprint database is being generated... Left thumb fingerprint confirmed, please proceed with the rest..."

The cold mechanical voice sounded almost instantly when her left thumb touched the light ring.

"So fast..."

Ye Qi looked at him happily and saw Sun Cheng nodding. Only then did she move on to the next finger.

In this way, within less than twenty seconds, the fingerprint scanning for all fingers was completed. The cold mechanical voice sounded again: "Fingerprint database generated. Voice database will be generated shortly. Please follow the prompts and record three speech samples, each lasting no less than ten seconds. You can say anything..."

Sun Cheng quickly reminded her, and Ye Qi nodded. She looked at the Password lock in her hand and noticed a lit spot on one end. She immediately pressed her red lips against it and said three sentences at random.

The sentences were nothing special, just phrases like "Thank you for the gift, little brother" and "Robot Dog looks cute." However, after she finished speaking, her face inexplicably turned slightly red, as if she was feeling a faint sense of embarrassment.

But she quickly ran out of time and couldn't dwell on her feelings of embarrassment.

Almost four or five seconds after her voice stopped, the cold mechanical voice emerged from the Password lock once again: "Voice database generated. Please insert the Password lock into the back of the mechanical pet for facial recognition..."

"Where?"

Ye Qi quickly raised the mechanical pet in her hand and looked at its back, but she couldn't find any socket.

With a smile, Sun Cheng leaned in and firmly pressed a slightly raised spot on its back. In the next moment, the nearby metal casing automatically retracted into the mechanical body on both sides, revealing a socket similar to a USB connection.

He signaled Ye Qi to insert the Password lock. The moment she inserted it, the mechanical dog she held, which had remained unresponsive, suddenly lit up with a faint blue light in its eyes. After a slight tremor of its mechanical body, its cute little head adjusted its angle slightly and looked up at Ye Qi. At the same time, the cold mechanical voice sounded, "Facial recognition scan is about to begin. You have five seconds to prepare..."

"Ah Cheng..."

Ye Qi looked at him somewhat perplexed, and Sun Cheng softly reminded her with a smile, "Just look at its head..."

As her gaze shifted to the mechanical dog, two faint blue beams of light quickly projected from its eyes and landed on Ye Qi's forehead.

Then, after scanning her cheeks four or five times from top to bottom, the cold mechanical voice sounded again, "Facial recognition complete. User profile created. Please remove and securely store the Password lock to prevent loss. The mechanical pet can be controlled through the voice control system..."

After the voice ended, a red warning symbol began to flash on the Password lock.

At the same time, the mechanical dog slightly shook its head, looked at Ye Qi, wagged its tail, and emitted a cute bark, "Woof... woof..."

Sun Cheng reached out and removed the Password lock, handing it to Ye Qi and instructing her to keep it safe.

Just as he was about to teach her how to use the mechanical pet, suddenly, Sun Cheng felt a vibration in his pocket. His face subtly changed.

This was the notification method he had set up to inform him of special circumstances. It likely meant that something had gone wrong!
