Chapter 671 Max’s Precious House
In Max''s technologically advanced house, the ss windows served as both windows and LCD
screens. With the right program design, any desired room could be created.
Lilly''s room was a magical garden, with petals and butterflies fluttering around.
Hannah enjoyed a room with a stunning sea view, featuring her favorite shade of blue.
Josh had a room adorned with vast stars, while Zachary''s room embraced a punk aesthetic, and
Drake''s room exuded a schrly ambiance.
ke examined his room.
Well, it was his turn, but apart from the electric curtains, which barely disyed any advanced features,
there was nothing remarkable.
ke pondered, "What does your master think of me?"
Tracy smiled and replied, "Honestly, Mr. MacNeil, he didn''t have any specific preferences in mind for
your room. I can make changes for you if you don''t like it."
ke waved his hand dismissively, saying, "No need."
He was just making an observation. He was an adult and did not require coddling.
After the rooms were assigned, Tracy led everyone to the kitchen.
Everything in the kitchen was automated. The rice cooker automatically measured, cleaned, and
cooked the rice, preparing y pot rice with bacon.
Fresh steaks and fish were stored in the high-tech refrigerator. As the refrigerator opened, the steaks
and fish were transferred to the sink for cleaning. After draining, the steaks were sent to the steak
cooking machine, while the fish went into the steamer.
Onions and vegetables were automatically cleaned, and then the vegetable cutting operation panel
chopped them up with a satisfying "ding." The chopped onions, tomatoes, and broli were sorted and

prepared ordingly. The broli was nched and cooked, the onions were air-fried for ten seconds
to retain their freshness and crispness, and the tomatoes were ced directly on the te.
Trays lined up on a conveyor belt, with the steaks, broli, and onions carefully arranged. An
automatic juice machine squeezed a ss of juice for each person, and everything was neatly
presented on the table.
ke''s mouth twitched.
I didn''t know there was a kitchen that can cook itself!
After a while, the steamed sea fish was served on the table, garnished with chopped green onions.
Along with the fish and steak, the kitchen also prepared pasta, vegetable sd, toasted bread, and
fried eggs.
Lilly and Hannah eagerly held their knife and fork, their eyes shining with excitement as they
eximed, "Wow! This is amazing!"
Josh was impressed and said, "This is so cool, why don''t we build the same thing in our kitchen too!"
Drake replied as he sliced his steak, "Grandma would destroy it."
Josh agreed, "You have a point."
Cooking was their grandmother''s hobby.
Hannah was about to start eating when Lilly stopped her and said, "Hold on, let''s wait for Uncle Max to
Hannah nodded and said, "Okay then!"
Just then, the door opened, and a sweet voice greeted, "Master, wee home!"
A sterilized cotton mop extended from the door, and a coat rack emerged from behind. Max hung his
coat and bag on the rack and removed his shoes.
"Lilly? Lilly, Uncle Max is back!" Max called out while changing his shoes.
In an instant, a small figure rushed over, Lilly threw herself into Max''s arms, hugging his thigh tightly.
"Uncle Max, wee home!" she eximed, opening her arms and beaming with a big smile.
Max felt his exhaustion melt away as he lifted Lilly high in his arms, a gentle smile adorning his face.
With his sses and fair skin, he appeared gentle and younger, almost like an eighteen or neen-
year-old boy.
Lilly expressed, "We''ve been waiting for you, Uncle Max! Hurry up, Hannah is so hungry that she might
even eat the te."
After washing his hands, Max entered the dining room and saw ke, casually and yfully leaning on
the chair with his arms crossed and legs raised, saying, "Ah, wee back, master!"
Max''s face turned red as he thought about Tracy''s usual attire, realizing this could potentially lead to an
embarrassing situation.
Heposed himself, walked over to the table, and sat down, saying, "Let''s start eating!"
Drake promptly ced the sliced steak in front of Lilly.
Max jokingly remarked, "Drake, where''s mine?"
Drake''s expression turned cold as he replied, "You''re so old, do you still need my help?"
Max was silent.
His behavior was just like Anthony''s.
Josh asked while eating, "Uncle Max, your house is amazing! Especially Miss Tracy, she seems so
lifelike. Can you make one for me as well?"
Apart from being untouchable, the appearance, movements, and even some thoughts and subtle
expressions resembled a human.
Max exined, "This is the virtual assistant I''ve been researching for the past few years. It''s constantly
receiving updates. Tracy can learn independently, and possess her own thoughts, hobbies, interests,
and even a unique temperament. I''m currently studying how to make her even more human-like."
"But it''s not perfect yet. As she''s my virtual assistant, I had to provideprehensive services
throughout the house. Tracy is connected to all the house''s facilities. Replicating another one might be
challenging."
"This technology isn''t great enough, and the owner needs to possess sufficient procedural knowledge
and practical skills."
He gestured toward the sumptuous dishes on the table, saying, "For instance, she manages the
kitchen and cooks delicious meals. However,pared to the homemade meals, there''s still
something missing..."
Lilly chimed in, "Uncle Max, I know what''s missing—it''s Grandma''s frying pan!"
Hannah eximed, "Nom, nom nom..."
I don''t know what''s missing, but I know it''s delicious.
Josh asked, "Is it not as experienced as Grandma?"
Max shook his head, saying, "Tracy is equipped with an advanced cooking system developed by a
seasoned chef and has learned the skills of top-tier chefs worldwide. Therefore, the problem isn''t in
experience."
While Lilly enjoyed her meal, she could not help but think that if she were at home, her grandmother
would continuously serve her vegetables and insist on filling her up with soup.
"What''s missing is Grandma''s love," Lilly remarked.
Max paused for a moment, carefully contemting her words.
"Yes, what''s missing is the scent of nostalgia..."
Everything was perfectly calcted from a scientific standpoint, but there was no touch of life...
Suddenly, ke asked, "Is this system of yours thetest research and development project from your
Max shook her head, saying, "No, I did it all on my own. I had this idea, so I bought this house to bring
all my ideas to life."
The house was equipped with smart technology, LCD panels, and carefully designed decorations,
amounting to nearly 100 million dors.
Of course, it was all funded by Max himself although Anthony provided some support.
"Due to the high cost, it''s not feasible for widespread implementation. Not everyone can afford such a
significant expenditure. Additionally, there is a shortage of programmers for instation and
maintenance."
"Ordinary peopleck the necessary expertise to operate this system. My ultimate goal is to make
Tracy even more human-like..."
Max could not stop discussing these matters once they were brought up.
ke brought up another point, saying, "This virtual assistant is extraordinary. However, be careful of
someone coveting it and demanding that you surrender everything."
Max smiled and replied, "That''s not a concern. These are all my own creations, and I haven''t spent a
penny from theboratory."
ke remained nomittal.
"As far as I know... yourboratory recently entered into a partnership with a technology group justst
month!"
Max, who usually immersed himself in scientific research, momentarily failed to grasp the meaning
behind his words. He asked, "Yeah, so?"
Research and development could be quite costly, and the coboration with the technology group was
aimed at facilitating the development of lithography machines.
But how did that rte to his personal endeavors? They seemed like two separate matters.
ke did not borate further.
However, this encounter was certainly not in vain.
