Chapter 2222


    The event kicked off with a bang, and the excitement for what followed was through the roof. The Vinci


    Rivera Group even brought in a Hollywood heavyweight-a recipient of the prestigious Oscar Lifetime


    Achievement Award-as their ambassador, engaging directly with the audience.


    As the electronic gadgets and drones wrapped up their showcase, despite more than half the time


    having psed, the crowd''s enthusiasm showed no signs of waning.

    Someone even started chanting, "Smart butler! Smart butler!"


    Keegan shed a grin; already handsome, his smile seemed to soften the stage lighting.


    In the audience, Ste watched the charming and sharp-witted figure on stage. Her heart raced with


    each beat, her mind consumed with one thought: "That remarkable man up there is my husband."


    A wave of pride washed over her, suddenly understanding why some people chose to propose on


    stage-it was like staking a im to sovereignty.


    Suppressing her lovesick thoughts, Ste refocused on the presentation.


    Keegan exined, "To be honest, we hadn''t nned on showcasing it today. But we made a promise


    long ago, and it''s also the most anticipated product in this lineup, based on the highest online votes for


    ''Most Anticipated New Product.'' So, we''re making an exception."


    With a gesture, he beckoned, "Come up."


    All eyes focused on the exit, holding their breath. Suddenly, a robot, reminiscent of Baymax but with


    oversized eyes, glided onto the stage from backstage. Initially disappointed by its glide, the audience''s


    mood shifted as Luna approached the stage edge, extending a mechanical leg and walking up on its


    own.


    Keegan called out, "Come here."


    In a pitifully small voice, Luna said, "Dad, walking uses power."


    The audience erupted inughter; her humor seemed rather sharp.


    Step by step, Luna approached Keegan, its gait eerily human-like, deftly avoiding obstacles and even


    water. Standing beside Keegan, it appeared as obedient as a toy.


    Yet, it could do more-serving tea, pouring water, cleaning with tools, aiding children with homework,


    issuing intruder warnings, switching to defense mode, and even learning, analyzing, and mimicking


    human behavior.


    Keegan randomly selected audience members for live testing, issuingmands. Luna''s sess rate


    surpassed ny-five percent, impressivelymunicating almost seamlessly with humans. Even


    when faced with the unknown, it quickly adapted and optimized.


    As the products continued to showcase, voices from below reached Ste''s ears, "If it can help with my


    kid''s homework, I''ll sell everything to get one!"


    "Help with homework? Helping with homework is tough. It might even fry itself."


    "But these features are practical. Honestly, I''m tempted."


    "They poured over two hundred billion into R&Dst year. The price won''t be low. There are only thirty


    thousand avable in the first batch; doubt anyone can get their hands on one."


    It seemed like Ste''s worries about sales were for naught. Keegan mentioned a seven-figure price.


    Were customers truly that optimistic?


    Vermont tapped her arm, passing her the phone. "Someone forged a severance letter between Keegan


    and his mom. Looks real."


    Ste nced at it, unfazed. "Then it must be."


    Vermont''s jaw dropped. "Is... is Keegan''s mom really signing this? Is she crazy?" "I promised her a


    billion to sign it. She didn''t hesitate," Ste replied nonchntly.
