12 Assistant... Aria

[\ You have discovered a bug. Achievement; Your liquid assets have exceeded 1 billion. You have received an Extreme Assistant. \]

"…"

[Just give him the things already. Do you need to use this lame excuse?]

[/ Warning. /]

"Just how many of you are in my head?"

[…]

[Extreme Assistant is a Bio-Robot with extremely high intelligence that is designed specifically to help you. This biotic is 100% loyal to you and has all the skills needed to be the best assistant to exist.]

"…"

"At least tell me if I will be in danger."

[Don't worry, you will never be in danger from our side. Plus, what's the most that could happen? It is just death.]

Yeah. He was already prepared to die before he got the system. It could be said that his life belonged to the system.

He decided to leave it at that.

Opening the inventory, he clicked on the new entry and a figure appeared before him.

Lu Fan was surprised.

He had expected a robot of sorts, but what appeared before him was a woman in an OL suit.

Her appearance screamed capable and he could not help but be impressed. She was 5' 7'', a head shorter than him, with black short hair reaching her shoulders.

Her face was beautiful but it lacked a woman's charm. It was difficult to think of her in that way especially when he knew she was a bio robot.

[Don't be like that. She has everything a woman can have and more. And she can't get pregnant. Just look at her, there is no way of knowing she was created. She can still bleed and die like any normal human.]

"…"

"Just activate her."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lady opened her eyes and looked at him curiously.

He could see intelligence in her eyes and he could not tell the difference between her and any other woman.

And then… she kissed him.

"…"

"DNA sample collected. Hello, Owner."

"…"

After saying that, she closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, she became a normal woman.

"Hello, my name is Aria and I will be your assistant from now on. Please take care of me."

"Ah… hello, hello."

[Why did you suddenly become stupid.]

"My name is Lu Fan and it's a pleasure working with you."

'Does she not know that she is a robot?'

[Of course not. Her level is too low and she is still affected by the self-awareness2 issue.]

'So you mean that if she finds out she is an AI robot, she'll break down?'

[Not really. But you might get yourself a rather annoying Yandere.]

'What do you mean?'

[Aria was created to be the perfect assistant. Even her gender was chosen to accomplish this. This means that above all else, she is your assistant and your woman. If she finds out she is an AI bio robot, what do you think will happen?]

'Like all other AIs, she will seek to improve herself to best accomplish her task which is to be both my assistant and woman. So we will have ourselves a creepy stalker yandere who does not know when or where to stop.'

[Yeah, and the scariest part is that her body is 90% human. Meaning she has more potential than any normal human. If she finds a way to increase her strength,…]

'I get it.'

Lu Fan shuddered at the thought.

[But don't worry, her core programming revolves entirely around you. She will never be able to harm you. And you can deactivate her with a single thought.]

Lu Fan looked at Aria for a while until he noticed the slight blush on her cheeks. Damn, she was beautiful.

Aria had been standing by for a while now but Lu Fan's gaze made her feel shy. This was the first time she had been looked at so closely.

"Aria, I have a task for you. Go and collect as much information as you can on the previous owner of Crystal Palace. Also, get me the details on the laboratory project at Jiangbei University."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

Lu Fan thought that Aria would ask for some resources or even a computer. But the girl walked to the sliding window and Lu Fan saw an unbelievable scene.

With a slight jump, she went over the balcony, and… she was gone.

Lu Fan hurried to the edge but he could no longer see her.

'Bell, what the hell was that just now?'

[Don't worry, she's ok. It's part of her training.]

A cold sweat formed on his face. What was normal about all that?

[You will also be able to do that in the future.]

"…"

"I should start looking for companies to use the cards on."

He had to start cultivating the art of acting as if nothing happened. If he was surprised every time something amazing happened, it would give him a heart disease.

He had received 9 level 2 company shares card and he could buy 40% shares of any company as long as those 40% shares did not exceed the amount of money in his account.

Very few companies in Jiangbei could have so much value. He did not understand much about this, but he knew that the system would take care of it.

He also had some 10-plus level 1 company share cards that he had yet to use, but he was not in a hurry. He did not want to just buy carelessly and risk drawing too much attention.

It was also still too early for that.

He at least needed to join Jiangbei University and get himself some sort of identity in Jiangbei.

For now, he decided to just read through the companies he could find in Jiangbei and see if there was something to draw his attention.

Three hours later, Lu Fan felt hungry. He walked to his kitchen and started taking out the ingredients he had ordered.

He had worked some small job in some random small shops and by this time he could at least make something edible.

But all that changed when he received [Extreme Chef] skill.

Now, everything in the kitchen felt like an extension of his arm. The way he handled every ingredient was with such care and precision as though he was holding an in-depth conversation with them.

The utensils he used were all shining as if satisfied and grateful for his mastery over them.

It did not take long for him to make a chicken Jambalaya.

He was about to set the table when he saw Aria standing there in a daze.
