Andrea was very quick in processing her request, and soon she no longer had anything to do again.
And since it was like that, Diamond ended up returning to the villa, where she decided to check on her reward before Ruby returned from work.
After changing out of her clothes, Diamond sat cross-legged on the fur carpet inside her bedroom and took out the optical computer from the inventory slot.
When she saw what she had been given, she couldn’t help but find her situation to be very disappointing.
"A smartwatch!" she couldn’t help but complain as she scrutinized the watch that she had been given.
"I thought the system said it’s an optical computer. Wasn’t it supposed to be like a bracelet, earring, ring, or something futuristic?"
[My lady, I have detected that you are holding something that I might like. Do you mind if I take a look?] Andrea, who had been quiet for some time, appeared once again.
Upon hearing that, Diamond, who was still not satisfied with what she was holding, brightened up.
"Are you sure that it is useful to you?" Diamond asked excitedly, eager to get an answer.
[Yes, but I need to check first.]
"Sure, just do whatever you want and tell me the result. Don’t bother with the process," Diamond quickly made it clear.
Since she wasn’t the cleverest person in the world, she didn’t want to give her a headache because of listening to words she wouldn’t understand.
She hated science when she was at school and every time a scientific word popped up, she would start getting dizzy. The subject was too complicated for her, so if she were to imagine Andrea telling her about all the scientific things happening around him, she would surely wake up in some mental institution for sure.
Diamond watched as the smartwatch suddenly turned on and the emoticon for Andrea popped on the screen.
Diamond didn’t know what Andrea was up to. All she could see was the small screen loading repeatedly and it made Diamond so fed up that she left the smartwatch on the bed.
After waiting for thirty minutes without any response, she decided to do something else instead of just waiting.
And since Andrea was busy again, she didn’t have anyone else to talk to, and that forced her to reflect on herself.
’I need to make friends.’
Three hours later, Diamond had another meal at home and returned to her bedroom since Ruby was still not yet back.
When she entered the room, she checked on the smartwatch first and was relieved when she saw 98% written on it.
Since the procedure was nearly done, she decided to wait patiently as she played a game on her tablet.
The second she opened the tablet and planned on playing a game, an email suddenly entered.
Thinking that it was for work, Diamond quickly opened it and froze.
’It is that quick?’ she couldn’t help but wonder with amazement as she looked at the contents of the email.
Apparently, the agent she had Andrea contact with earlier was the one who just responded. The agent was willing to see her the next day, and all she needed was to set the time.
Since she didn’t want to delay, Diamond quickly responded and decided to meet the agent at eight in the morning at the agency’s offices.
After dealing with the email, Diamond returned to seeking her game once more while she waited for Andrea to be done.
And just as she was about to click start so that she may start to play, a happy Andrea sounded once again, forcing her to stop what she was doing.
Instead of playing a game, she would rather check on Andrea and see if any changes occurred in the process.
[My lady, I managed!] Andrea informed her, as a funny ball appeared on her tablet screen.
Seeing Andrea on her tablet screen got her wondering, so she asked immediately, "Andrea, why are you in there instead of that smartwatch?"
[My lady, I have infused with the_]
"Language Andrea, give me the result!" Diamond stopped Andrea before he could go anywhere with the big words.
[In other words, what the smartwatch could do, I can now do it on the gadgets that are currently available in this world. It would be risky if my lady were to go around wearing such a smartwatch.]
"Oh! That makes sense. Since you can do everything it was supposed to do, then I am cool with it. So does that mean that the smartwatch is no longer usable?"
[No, it can still be used.]
"Okay, I will store it safely, then. So, what can you do now that you have infused with that technology?" Diamond was curious about Andrea’s changes more than what the smartwatch could give her at the moment.
Andrea was already exceptional to begin with, so she was curious as to what miracles he would give her.
[First of all, you can switch my gender if you want.]
Upon hearing that, Diamond, who had already assigned Andrea to be a male, couldn’t help but smile mischievously as a crazy thought emerged in her head.
’Could it be that he ...? Anyway, let’s hear more.’
"Okay, what else?" without giving a clear answer to Andrea, I asked.
[I no longer have to worry about being caught. The current technology in this world can longer stop me. So, my lady, no need for you to worry about me now.]
Diamond heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. Andrea had b headache that she didn’t know how to deal with as she was afraid of being caught and then getting him taken away from her.
"That’s good then. Does that also mean that you can leave me alone since nothing can stop you?" she was curious about that.
She had seen a lot of movies where A. I evolved and then retaliated against humanity. She didn’t want her A. I to do that, she couldn’t afford it.
[I am bound to you, so my priority will always be you. If there is no you, there can be no me.]
Hearing Andrea’s response, Diamond was somehow relieved as it showed that the system might have dealt with that problem for her.
Since Andrea was given as a reward before, it meant that he was bound to her, which was a huge relief.
"That’s wonderful then. I can be at ease. I won’t ask for any upgrades you have gone through anymore; I will only get confused. But I hope that with your upgrade, you can do several jobs at the same time."
[Yes, that can be done and I can also make a few minor programs that can do the job in my place.]
Hearing that, Diamond wanted to stand up and dance around in celebration however, she cooled herself down and continued conversing with Andrea.
After a lengthy discussion, Diamond finally grasped what Andrea could do with his upgrade and she was happy with that.
Not only could he make a few A. Is like him, but he literally manages an internet business without anyone finding out.
What did she want at a time ? Being anonymous and also earning money without being worried about being investigated by any auditory department for whatever reasons.
Andrea’s upgrade also provided her with a new business idea, and that was something that only he could do. And just thinking of doing that, Diamond began to see her bleak future changing for the future.
’I am going to make a lot of friends!’
She became thrilled the more she thought about that. For someone like her who came from a less impressive background and, despite having a foundation that was doing well, it wasn’t easy to make friends.
She wanted friends with connections as well as people with whom she could talk freely.
Diamond truly didn’t have a lot of genuine friends before she was rich, and that left her in a tricky situation.
Her lack of friends was forcing her to talk to an A.I. more than what she does with people, and that wasn’t healthy at all.
To change that, she needed to have something up her sleeve. The foundation was good, but it wasn’t to that point.
The business that she thought of doing, a cosmetic one, was another good way of making friends however, the new business plan she thought of after hearing about Andrea was going to make her soar. And she couldn’t wait to put her plans in motion.
After knowing more and benefiting from her reward, Diamond left Andrea to do some upgrades on her electrical gadgets while she went on a walk around the court and at the same time checked to see if any of her neighbors were around.
’Maybe I should find a new place to move to. Somewhere with a lot of people. This court is too damn quiet!’
Diamond thought as she walked into the quiet neighborhood without a sign of a living being outside.
Even Cecilia couldn’t be seen. Where was everyone?
