My brother entrusted his child to me, and I livestreamed raising the baby, making the Empress cry wi

At that moment, the scene on the sky also changed—

The camera followed the two little girls as they stepped inside.

In that instant, it was as if someone had unveiled a scroll.

It was a colorful world.

The walls were painted a soft, pale yellow, and the floor was covered with huge soft mats printed with cartoon animal patterns.

The low bookshelves formed several semi-circular areas, with the height of the bookshelves only reaching the waist of an adult, making it easy for children to put and take books.

But it wasn't these things that attracted the attention of the people of the Great Flame Kingdom.

On the right, a little girl is lying on a soft mat.

In front of her lay a large, open picture book, its pages as big as half her body, the paper thick and sturdy, making a crisp rustling sound when turned.

It depicts a huge brown bear with incredibly clear brown fur texture, even capturing the wet sheen on its nose, as if it could blow hot air onto your face at any moment.

The little girl was mesmerized, her eyes practically glued to the painting. She slowly slid a finger along the winding river in the picture, following the current downstream.

He kept muttering to himself, "Little bear wants to cross the river, cross the river to find his mother, how to cross..."

……

The people of the Great Flame Kingdom, especially the scholars who had spent their lives studying books, were all utterly astonished.

How can there be such a big book?!

[Wang An, a teacher at Xiaoshan College: What kind of paper is this?! It's thicker and sturdier than Xuan paper, whiter and wider than parchment. I've read books for most of my life and have never seen paper of this quality before!]

[Zhou Rui, a student from Xiaoshan College: Such a large format, such exquisite illustrations, it should be treasured! This library allows even young children to browse freely! Good heavens, this is truly…]

……

Soon, another figure a few steps away attracted the attention of the people of the Great Flame Kingdom.

It was a little boy sitting on a sofa, but there were no books on the table in front of him.

It was a flat, rectangular box, entirely black, about the thickness of a finger, with the side facing the boy shining.

The camera slowly zoomed in, closing behind the boy's shoulder, and the image on the flat box gradually became clearer—

It was a brightly colored picture.

A small bird with snow-white downy feathers is standing on a tall branch, its beak slightly open.

The image is so detailed that even the downy feathers on the wings are clearly visible.

The boy tilted his head and looked at it for a while, then suddenly stretched out his index finger and gently tapped the bottom right corner of the box.

Just like that.

The scene then changed.

That's actually turning the page!

The boy's lips curled up as he turned the pages one by one until he could no longer turn the last page.

The boy pursed his lips and pointed to a curved gray arrow in the upper left corner of the box.

The instant the fingertip touched the ground—

The scene has changed again!

Instead of a full-screen image, this time a screen full of tiny squares pops up!

Each square is printed with a book cover image, colorful and piled up together.

Some drawings depicted rabbits, some depicted bears, and some depicted flowers, trees, and shrubs...

Rows and columns, densely packed.

Before the people of the Great Flame Kingdom could even see how many books were on a single page, the boy's fingers had already begun to swipe across the box.

As he moved his fingers, the little squares began to roll upwards rapidly.

One after another, one kind after another, the rabbit passed by, then the little bear passed by...

The boy swiped for a while, and the book covers on the screen changed batch after batch. Finally, he stopped and poked his finger at the square with two little people dressed in yellow and blue clothes.

A completely new scene appears!

A little boy in a blue shirt and a little girl in a yellow shirt are standing side by side, with a line of text next to them.

The boy stared at the screen for a few seconds, then suddenly reached out and pushed two fingers outwards from the screen—

The image was zoomed in!

The blue figure has wrinkles in its clothes, and the yellow figure's hair is clearly visible in every detail.

The boy nodded in satisfaction and tapped the line of text again.

A crisp, melodious sound came from the box.

It was a gentle female voice: "Little Blue and Little Yellow are best friends."

The boy repeated softly to the voice, "Little Blue and Little Yellow..."

……

Under the sky, the barrage of comments from the Great Flame Kingdom erupted like boiling water.

[Commoner Zhao San: That...that box...it's full of books!? That kid spent ages trying to find the bottom, and there are so many books?!]

[Wang An, a teacher at Xiaoshan College: I've been teaching for thirty years, what kind of books haven't I seen? Yet this tiny board can hold so many books! This is truly eye-opening!]

[Commoner Ma Wu: What did the First Princess's classmate say again? E-book? Reading machine? Could this thing be a reading machine, and the books inside are e-books!?]

[Commoner Li Wen: That thing can enlarge and shrink books! It can even read aloud! Doesn't that mean even illiterate people can sit in front of that board and read any book!]

[Commoner Zhou Shi: Good heavens, this is truly a divine object!]

……

The barrage of comments grew faster and denser, with countless eyes fixed on the flat little box, filled with shock and envy.

……

Just as Xiaodouzi and Duoduo sat down at an empty round table, a crisp dinging sound rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

A white robot stood at the door.

It was the same person who helped Duoduo find books in the library lobby earlier.

It glided steadily past the child lying on the cushion reading a book, and glided towards Duoduo and Xiaodouzi.

The little boy stared at it curiously, his bright eyes wide open.

The people of the Great Flame Kingdom were filled with doubt.

Wasn't this lump of iron going to find a book?

The girl in the hall earlier rattled off the titles of five books in one breath, and Tie Zhuzi turned and left after hearing them.

But now it's back, but it's completely naked, without even a pocket! Where's the book it was looking for?

[Commoner Ma Wu: Why did you come back empty-handed? Did you not find it? Or did you forget about it? I told you, a lump of iron is still a lump of iron, he can't think straight!]

[Commoner Zhou: There are probably just too many books, and it's confused! With so many bookshelves and so many books, how can this little iron pillar possibly recognize them all!]

……

Inside the Fengde Hall.

Upon seeing this scene, Shu Jingwei's lips twitched, and she let out a cold laugh through her nose.

She slowly picked up the wine glass, not drinking, but just twirling it between her fingers, the amber liquid shimmering on the glass.

Robots, robots, aren't they just mechanical devices?

Things done by government agencies can always go wrong sometimes.

"Now that's where the problem lies," she thought sarcastically, her smile widening as her eyes gleamed with contempt.

Where's the book you're looking for?

Wasn't it all just hype?

Isn't it good at finding its way around and obedient?

In the end, they came back empty-handed!

She adjusted her posture, comfortably leaning back in the dragon throne, ready to see how this iron lump would embarrass itself.

Under the suspicious gaze of the people of the Great Flame Kingdom and the gloating gaze of Shu Jingwei—

The robot stopped in front of Xiaodouzi and Duoduo.

It came to a steady stop, with the screen facing Xiao Douzi and the other person.

The two large electronic eyes on the screen blinked twice, the blue light dimmed for a moment, then brightened again, confirming the identity of the person in front of them.

Then--

Click.

A soft sound.

Its belly was open!
