Chapter 72 An old friend is here

The next day was the weekend, and Luke introduced Wall-E to Uncle Chen early in the morning.

He told Uncle Chen that he had researched and made the robot himself.

Uncle Chen was also very curious about this little thing, but as an old man, he just learned how to communicate with Wall-E and then he no longer cared about it.

Luke took Wall-E to the supermarket. He left Wall-E on the car seat and went into the supermarket himself.

Finally, Luke came out pushing three shopping carts of snacks.

Wall-E's dimensional space is very similar to Luke's personal space, and the flow of time inside is completely stopped.

But when Luke asked Wall-E how big its space was, Wall-E didn't have an accurate answer.

It just made a circle.

So Luke brought a trunk full of stuff for Wall-E to experiment with.

As long as you can pass through the hatch that opens on its chest, you can put it into its dimensional space.

As a result, all the snacks in the trunk were put in by it.

Finally, after Luke asked repeatedly, Wall-E pointed to the earth pattern on a packaging bag.

Luke was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

What this little guy means is that its dimension is as big as the earth.

Luke couldn't help but complain again: Master, what are you doing...

Although the little guy can't speak, he can at least make sounds.

Just like the sound effects that come with the Windows system, sometimes you can guess what it means without looking at the pattern on its chest.

Luke brought Wall-E back home, and the three sisters were planning where to go out and play.

Seeing a square box robot following Luke, I immediately became interested.

Wall-E's big eyes are so cute.

Seeing the girls running towards him with shining eyes and shouting at him, Wall-E immediately hid behind Luke's legs.

Then it retracted its "hands and feet" into its body, leaving only most of its eyes outside, looking at the girls.

Luke hurriedly stopped his sisters and said:

"You scared it."

Angela looked at Wall-E curiously and said to Luke:

“Is this the newest toy?”

Beth and Natasha also looked at Luke.

Luke shook his head and said:

"No, this is something I made by accident. It can be considered an intelligent robot. But don't tell anyone else, or it will be stolen."

"You can treat it as a new friend and communicate with it."

Beth stepped forward boldly, holding out her hand, and said:

"Hi, my name is Beth, what's your name?"

Wall-E looked up at Luke, and when he saw Luke smile and nod at it, he stretched out his hands and feet, pointed to the letters on his chest, and then shook hands with Beth.

"Wall-E?"

The little guy nodded, and a √ sign appeared on the display screen on his chest.

"Wow, Luke, that's really smart."

When Wall-E heard someone praising him, the pattern on his chest turned into a smiley face.

Then the three little sisters and a pair of twin brothers and sisters gathered around Wall-E and chatted loudly.

Wall-E also took out a lot of snacks from his own dimension and gave them to them, which surprised them again.

At this moment, Luke's phone rang.

When Luke picked up the phone, the voice on the other end startled him.

"Hi, Luke, I'm in Los Angeles."

It's John McClane.

"Congratulations, mate. You and Holly have reconciled?"

"Of course, Holly is still obsessed with my charm."

"Ahem... come out for a drink tonight?"

McLean readily accepted Luke's proposal, but Luke also asked him which department he worked for, said he would introduce someone to him, and then hung up the phone.

The call was dialed again.

"Hey, Frank, are you free tonight?"

"What happened? Luke."

"Nothing, a friend of mine was transferred to the LAPD, let me introduce him to you."

"I'm almost too busy, but there's still time for us to have a drink together in the evening. Let me know when it's ready. I'm busy here."

After hanging up the phone, Luke thought of a nice, quiet bar near Parker Center, close to Hollywood.

So a message was sent to McLean and Frank.

After calling his parents, Luke took his younger brothers and sisters back to their ocean view villa in Malibu.

The place here is big enough for them to play.

Let them play here on weekends. With Uncle Chen here, there is someone to look after them when he goes out.

So Uncle Chen watched Wall-E playing with the children with curiosity.

Wall-E is afraid of water, but it is waterproof.

After being tricked by the children into the swimming pool, it will automatically open the inflatable swimming ring on its body.

And its tracked feet transform into underwater thrusters.

In this way, it played with the children for the whole day.

Now the children can't wait to hug Wall-E to sleep.

At night, Luke picked out a relatively low-key Dodge Charger from the garage (Dodge Charger, but the name is a machine translation, the correct name is Pioneer or Charger).

This is a four-door sports car. Luke was addicted to plagiarism and equipped it with a hidden variable-angle rear wing.

The Dodge car series designed by Luke all come from the family design of the later Chevrolet Camaro (Bumblebee).

This car is no exception, except that Luke's is a factory custom-made one, using a 6.4-liter supercharged version with 850 horsepower.

When I arrived at the bar I had booked, I saw McLean sitting at the bar as soon as I walked in.

The two smiled and hugged each other, then went to sit in the corner.

"When did you come here?"

"We just arrived yesterday afternoon. My friend and I drove here from New York."

"You're not going back anymore?"

"The house over there is still there, and I can go there for vacation when I have time."

"What's there to do on vacation in New York? Listen to me, don't go back. The feng shui there is not good."

"Do you still understand this?"

"Look, just because you're in New York, you're having a mid-life crisis, right? Why don't you come to Los Angeles?"

McClane was stunned for a long moment, then nodded in agreement.

Before he could continue the conversation, Inspector Frank walked in.

He glanced at the people in the bar and saw Luke in the corner waving and greeting him.

"Hey, Frank, here."

Luke ordered some wine and snacks and introduced the two to each other.

McClane was a detective in New York, and when he came to Los Angeles he happened to be working under Frank.

It's just that he won't report to the LAPD's Detective Bureau until next week.

Before he even started working, McClane got to know his immediate boss through Luke, so he was naturally grateful to Luke.

Frank was also very happy that he had a new general under his command.

Luke also tells Frank about McClane's role in the Nakatomi Building robbery.

Faced with such tough subordinates, Frank naturally smiled and swept away the tiredness he felt when he first arrived.

Seeing that Frank didn't look well, Luke asked:

"What happened? I see patrols on the street have been significantly stepped up."

Frank thought about it, and considering that Luke was from the FBI, he couldn't hide it if he really wanted to know, so he told him.

"We had a Steve Austin officer killed the night before last."

Luke and McClane were both surprised, this was a big deal.

Then Frank made another big revelation.

"The murderer even pretended to be him to hunt down a child."
