The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 174
Advertisement
Dao Technologies had set up distribution centers in all the major cities of the country. The purpose was to deliver the bot to the customers as soon as possible. Yang Dao had the bots prepared in the stockpile evenly distributed among these centers.
Overnight, as soon as the orders were confirmed and the distributors' payment procedure was completed, the distributors set off. Ethically it is wrong for the delivery to be made in the night's dead. But surprises come quick and the delivery boys were told to be extremely polite as if they were talking to their ancestors, but if they came across any unreasonable person, they can call the manager directly and have him deal with it.
...
Yang Dao at this moment was sleeping soundly. His accumulated fatigue from the past two weeks took over control as soon as he fell on the bed. The boy has been using source particle energy to support himself all this while. If someone counted, they will find that the boy has only squinted his eyes for a couple of hours.
He was unaware that Mary has planned for the orders to be delivered so quickly he won't know how to react.
...
A delivery boy was stopped at a high-end apartment entrance. The security guard asked him what was he to deliver at this hour. The two people were grassroots workers so how could they not feel the pain of each other.
The boy did not want to cause trouble for the security guard, and he called the customer directly.
...
Tring trying.
In the apartment upstairs, a middle-aged woman was almost asleep when her phone rang. She was tired for the whole day and then she had to wait in front of the computer to place an order. Finally, when she confirmed the order and made the payment. She was ready to go to bed after her night routine.

The phone rang. She cursed. "Can people not be mindful about the time?" Picked up the phone and found that it was an unknown number. Her brows frowned, but she still picked up the phone.
A humble voice sounded, "Hello, is this Mrs. Holder? Madam, your Robo-Aid unit is here for delivery."
The lady was shocked and then she thought it was someone from her circle who was pranking her. Well, she flexed her order for confirmation. She asked, "Do you think I am a fool? I just placed the order about an hour ago." then the call was disconnected.
But soon after, the phone rang again. She was about to fire when the other party said, "Madam, can you please ask the security guard of your society? He will confirm my identity. Please. I apologize for the inconvenience."
The lady said, "Alright, if I found things otherwise. You will meet the police for harassing me." she disconnected the call and dialed the security office.
The query was answered positively, and the lady asked them to let the delivery boy come up. The delivery boy wore a white t-shirt and black pants with a symbol of Dao Technologies printed on the back.
He rang the doorbell, and the lady opened it instantly. The boy bowed to her as he held a simply packed box in his hands. He said, "I apologize for the intrusion. Here is your ordered unit. Please confirm your identity."
The delivery guy asked her to show the ID proof she used to book the order. The lady complied and nodded with appreciation. She liked how thorough the procedure was. After the confirmation, the delivery boy took an electronic signature on the receiving document and left after handing the box.
The delivery boy was happy. The lady gave him a 100 bucks tip. (When can my readers give me some tips and gifts? I wonder if I can have some)

The lady forgot about her sleep and quickly unpacked the box. The packaging was simple and some booklets about the operation of the bot were placed there, along with the charger panels. The lady was recording the whole thing. She pressed the button on the top and the blue LED lit up on the front panel of the bot.
The bot said, "HELLO, THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ROBO-AID. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO HELP YOU CLEAN?" the cheery voice worked its magic, and the lady said, "Yes."
The bot's blue lights turned red, and it worked with great vigor. (It is a machine obviously, while your author here, is a human who needs your love {money} to survive. Joking while not Joking. You like me now? EH?)
The lady uploaded how Robo-Aid cleaned everything it can. The bot could not move heavy furniture but could clean the gaps with a retractable set of micro brushes and stuff. The lady was thrilled.
...
Similar cases took place in the whole nation. Overnight Robo-Aid became a hit and superstar in the cleaner bot industry. The internet was flooded with such videos and clips. Some people tried to stop Robo-Aid from working and the bot's voice acted like it would cry if they stopped it from working.
Imagine the effect on those otakus? SENSATIONAL. In one night, Dao Technologies became a name echoing in every household. This was what Yang Dao wanted and this was what he achieved.
...
While something good happens, it brings along its countering bad omens as well. Just like how some people praised the company for their amazing product. Some people went out to scold them.
These people were the poor, those who lived by working as a cleaner in such places. But now that Robo-Aid was delivered, they were all sacked. The next morning, Yang Dao woke up. He found a bunch of congratulatory messages piled up on his phone. He walked out of the room without even washing his face.
He did not greet Laohu Bai, who was eating at the table. Ran straight to his car, he drove like a typhoon on the roads and reached the office. The employees were surprised to see their CHAD boss in such a manner. Yang Dao did not bother with them and swiftly came to the top floor.
Mary was about to take off for the day after a long night when she saw Yang Dao rushing into the cabin. he had scattered hair, and his face clearly told her he did not even take a wash. She asked hurriedly, "Young Master, is everything okay?"
It was his day off, too.
The boy asked, "Did you not implement the charity and educational scheme before you delivered the bots?" his voice was cold.
Mary gulped and said, "I set them up. It is being held by the Govt. as soon as I get the permission, we can get have them going." she has not seen him so angry ever.
Yang Dao mumbled, "They never learn, do they?" with that said he went back to the Dao Courtyard to rectify this problm.

Decompose!
Dear diary. When you read stories about some people missing and returning after years of absence claiming they were living in another world, your first reaction is to scoff and dismiss a story as a tall tale, right? I know I did. All the time. Until it happened to me and I no longer did. That day was today. Some god of thunder smote me. If it were Chris Hemsworth, I wouldn't mind but it was some barbaric Hitite god that abaondned Earth some four millennia ago. Yes, what can I say? I love the seventh art. I have more hours watching movies than any other activity, including sleep. What? Do you think I'm exaggerating? Maybe I am. I'll really miss hollywood the most. And my biggest regret is that I never got to visit the holy city of cinema. I did not come to another world to be a hero even though there was hints that they hoped I'd save it. I did not come with overpowered abilities able to, dunno, leap tall castles in a single bound, faster than a speeding crossbow bolt, be more powerful than a eight-horse carriage, the bounds. No. After the asshole god that murdered me brought me to his world, he gave me some boons from his discount bin and "The Power of my Soul (tm)". Forgive my french, I hope you understand I am rather upset at dying. And he somehow decided that my power is to recycle stuff. How awesome is that? Not much at first, I must admit. At least I got all my camping stuff and equipment with me. There's no lycra in the other world. I'll make it someday, but that day is not today. So here I am. In another world, in the middle of nowhere. I'm no heroine. As the song goes, I'm your basic average girl. And I'm assumed to be here to save the world. But almost everything can stop me, because I'm not named Kim. Wish me luck, diary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This novel is going have the following features: slow-paced slice-of-life No GameLit / LitRPG elements. Movie references. Sandra likes the seventh art. Journal / diary style crafting (includes chemistry, engineering and metallurgy) low magic technological advancement (for Sandra, at least. She is not against sharing though) personal relations clash of perception between the modern and ancient customs. bits of tension, fighting, and plot here and there. I won't repeat myself though. Once she crafts a good batch of soap, for example, she'll just note, "I crafted soap again." Once it is estabilished how she obtains compound X, compound X2 that is obtainable from the same process will also just be mentioned. I'll try to be as realistic as I can with the crafting, chemistry, and technology. Cover: Public Domain Image by StockSnap from Pixabay. No attribution required but we do it anyway.
