Chapter 10 Cooperation? Sure!-1
Facing the wild scene, Benjamin’s heart skipped a beat, and Henry’s thee went pale as he tried to step in. Only Terry and Jesse kept
their cool.
Zoey reached out and did something mysterious, followed by a teeth gritting sound, and then a loud bang as something hit the floor.
Everyone finally saw it clearly–it was a half–human–sized tohot
“Ah! My Dennis!” The teenage boy, hair all messy and pajamas tom like he’d been in a fight, rushed over and hugged the robot.
The bedroom was a total wreck. Cups, vases, and a bedside lamp werk shattered on the floor, looking like a tornado had hit.
“Oh my God! Was this a robbery?” Benjamin muttered,
“Ethan, get up first.” Terry helped the delicate–looking boy to his feet.
Ethan looked at Zoey, I
the culprit, with teary eyes, “What’s wrong with you? I told you not to open the door, why did you come in? Now you’ve broken my robot, and you have to pay for it!”
Zoey touched her nose, “It attacked first.”
A quick flash of amusement crossed Henry’s eyes as he patted Ethan shoulder, “I can vouch for that, it was your Dennis that attacked first.”
“Henry!” Ethan cried even harder.
The bay, with his delicate features, looked like a character from a painting, and his tears were heart–wrenching.
Zoey suggested, “How about I fix it for you?”
“Stop trying to comfort me.” Ethan was initially surprised, but then his eyes dimmed, and he squatted on the ground, looking pitiful He had sought out many mechanical experts who couldn’t fix it. How could this woman, barely older than him, possibly do it?
Zoey squatted down beside him, looking at the paralyzed robot. “Since it’s already broken, why not let me try?”
She added, “Think of it as a free try. Why not give it a shot?”
Ethan hesitated. He had bought this robot with his scholarship money many years ago. Although he later acquired many better- looking, more refined, and more practical ones, he still liked Dennis the most.
“Can you really fix it?”
“Yes, I can,” Zoey said firmly, not wanting to disappoint the boy.
Ethan gritted his teeth, “Then I’ll leave it to you!”
Benjamin hesitated to speak. He felt that if Dennis was further damaged, Ethan’s tears would flood Emerald City.
Ethan squatted on the ground, muttering, “Dennis is very old, some parts don’t work well anymore. I didn’t dare let it do much, just wanted it to keep me company. But it still broke, running around the house, breaking things, and even punched me…” He couldn’t help but turn around and lift his shirt, revealing a bruise on his arm.
Henry’s brow twitched, and he said coldly, ‘Is it even worth fixing? I should be sent directly to the junkyard.

Ethan jumped up to protect Dennis, “You can’t throw it away!”
Henry rubbed his brow, feeling a bit helpless with this brother, “If you’re not afraid of getting hit, keep it.”
“I’ll keep it even if I get hitr
Jesse and Terry exchanged helpless looks, “Zoey, can it be saved?”
Zoey was already squatting down to inspect the robot. It had many problems, being an old model that had long been discontinued, and many parts were no longer available,
Many technicians refused to repair it due to its age, fearing irreverse damage that could harm their reputation.
However, these issues were not problems for Zoey. “It can be saved, but some parts need to be replaced,” she replied.
“That’s too bad! I can’t get those parts.” Ethan sighed.
“I have them,” Zoey added.
Ethan, who had been dejected, immediately perked up upon hearing this, “Really? How do you have such old parts?
Zoey was at a loss for words. She couldn’t exactly say that she designed this robot, could she?
I also like these things and have a collection,” she replied.
“Then hurry up and fix it!” Ethan urged.
Zoey calmly sat down on the floor, asked for some tools, and began disassembling the robot. Soon, the robot was reduced to countless parts, spread out on th
on the floor.
The extent of the disassembly made Benjamin gasp, and he leaned er to Henry, “This is no less than dismemberment, are you sure
it can be fixed?”
Henry wasn’t sure either, but…
Zoey sat on the floor, her small figure holding tools that seemed too big for her delicate hands, carefully inspecting and assembling each part. It didn’t seem like a task suited for her. But she was very serious about it.

He watched for a hit, then looked away, “She can do it.
Benjamin looked at him like he was some kind of tore animal, but sai the seriout vile in the room, he kept his mouth shut.
Time ticked by. The robot, which had been in pieces, was slowly coming back together, and when its eyes lit up, everyone held their breath.
Especially Ethan, who didn’t even dare to breathe.
Luckily, the robot didn’t go berserk. It just stood there quietly. Then, Zoey gave it the first command; to fetch a glass of water.
It went and, sure enough, brought back a glass of water.
Zoey took the glass and sipped. “The parts aren’t great, but it’ll do for now. I’ll send you new parts later, and it should last another
ten years”
Ethan was so happy he almost jumped up, “It’s really fixed, Zoey, you’re amazing, you’re awesome!”
Zoey patted Ethan’s shoulder, “Take good care of it.”
When Zoey was a kid, she was always getting into trouble, taking apart household appliances. She could take apart anything and put it back together.
Later, her mentor found out she had disassembled the refrigerator and sent her to a robot development master. The first robot she developed was this model.
It only had simple functions like serving tea and sweeping the floor. But even so, the robot was a hit when it came out. However, she soon got busy with other projects and developed more advanced robots, leaving this one forgotten.
Ethan hugged Dennis contentedly, “Yes, I’ll take good care of it!”
The matter was perfectly resolved, and everyone was pretty happy

Only Benjamin felt a bit awkward. When he turned his head, he saw than eagerly approaching Zoey. “Zoey, take me as
apprentice!”
“This craft is a family secret.”
“I’m not an outsider!” Ethan’s eyes sparkled, “If you marry my brother, you’ll be my sister–in–law! We’re family. If you don’t like him,
think about me. I’m 16 now, in two years, I can marry you!”
Benjamin was drinking water and almost spat it out.
Henry’s temple throbbed, and he kicked his mischievous brother, making Ethan jump up.
“What, if you don’t marry her, can’t I?” Ethan exclaimed and received another kick. He winced in pain and didn’t dare to be presumptuous anymore,
Back in the living room, Benjamin and Henry discussed business. Ive been trying g to get a hold of the invitation to the nanotechnology conference, but no luck yet
<We can offer more money, Henry said.

The Phillips group wanted to collaborate with Dr. K’s Institute, but was elusive and well–protected, making it difficult to meet
her.
This conference was a must attend for Henry, even if it meant paying more. After all, he had plenty of money.
not just about money.” Benjamin had failed multiple times in this matter, losing a lot of hair over it.
“Is the invitation really that hard to get?” Zoey frowned, wondering they hadn’t sent an invitation to the Phillips group for the conference.
Benjamin laughed, “Do you know how many people want to attend fit K’s conference? The invitations are priceless!”
Zoey took out an invitation from her pocket. This one?“
Benjamin snatched it and examined it closely, confirming it was real “Damn! Where did you get this?”
Zoey blinked, “Do you need it? Take it.”
Henry looked at the golden invitation in his hand, his expression complex, ‘Are you really just giving it to us?”
Zoey shrugged. The staff had given her a stack of invitations, saying she could give them to whoever she wanted. But she found them bulky and had just pulled one out.
Benjamin clicked his tongue, I didn’t expect you to have this kind of ability”
Zoey ignored him.
Benjamin felt inexplicably annoyed by her calm demeanor and deliberately said, “Getting an Invitation is nothing. If you’re really capable, make Dr. K collaborate with us.”
“Benjamin!” Henry stopped him, thinking his request was unreasonable. Dr. K was a significant figure who had made great contributions to Novaria and was under special protection. Even Henly himself hadn’t been able to meet her.
Benjamin also felt he was being a bit excessive, especially since Zoey had just solved their invitation problem. “I didn’t mean it that way…”
“Collaboration? Zoey pondered for a moment. “Sure.”
