Chapter 440

Sofina took a deep breath, thinking it through before finally sighing. "Fine. I'll call my father in ten minutes."

She ended the transmission and stepped out of the bathroom.

Alex was waiting in the living room. "I'll show you to your room," he said as he stood.

They walked down the hallway until they reached a wide, elegant room bathed in warm light. As they stepped inside, a small robot glided toward them-egg- shaped, about eighty centimeters tall and forty-five wide.

Its metallic shell shimmered under the soft glow, reflecting their faces like ripples on polished steel.

"Good evening, Miss Sofina. I am Eve, your maid robot." The holographic eyes blinked, and it extended a hand in a graceful gesture. "I'm here to assist you with anything you need. Please don't hesitate to call me."

Sofina stared, intrigued. "This model... I've never seen it before."

In Prussia, maid robots were common-cold, efficient, emotionless. But this one was different. Sleek. Alive. It felt... almost warm.

"I built this model,” Alex said, a small smile tugging at his lips.

Sofina blinked, stunned.

"You? Alex the Dunce? The Walking Error?" Her voice rose in disbelief, sharp with shock.

Everyone in Winchester knew that name—it was practically a legend, whispered with equal parts pity and ridicule.

"You? The guy who couldn't even pass a basic logic exam-built this?" Her tone dripped with disbelief.

Alex frowned. "Pardon me?"

She crossed her arms. "Oh, come on. You're famous, Alex. Your name's practically a public service announcement in Winchester. Parents tell their kids, 'Study hard, or you'll end up like Alex the Dunce.""

Alex rubbed the back of his neck, looking more amused than insulted.

Ever since he'd reached the state of harmony with the universe, his way of thinking had drifted far beyond what ordinary people could understand.

Eve's voice chimed in smoothly. "Miss Sofina, my master Alex is not stupid. He's simply too busy doing real work to bother proving how smart he is. Between us, he's the smartest person in Winchester."

Sofina's eyes widened. "Wait-did she just talk like a human?"
