At the door of the rented apartment, Wendy Vale was knocking.
Behind her was a girl with long, lustrous black hair, round glasses, and a short skirt.
Beneath the skirt were slender, delicate legs like those of a manga character, wearing white socks.
She looked like a sweet, cute, and adorable student.
The cute girl pushed her round glasses up, her expression somewhat reserved.
“Mia, is your friend really capable?”
“I don’t think this is a hardware problem; it’s a virus…
Maybe we should still find a professional repair shop.
If the files inside are lost, what will I do?!”
The cute girl said softly.
“Mia, don’t worry, it’s fine.
I’ve seen this guy’s repair skills.
They’re not particularly amazing, but they’re decent!”
Wendy Vale said carelessly.
“And don’t believe those so-called professional repair shops.
They’re just a bunch of money-grabbers.
Last time, my laptop wouldn’t turn on, and I went there.
He just reinstalled my system, and I lost so much information!”
“So if you don’t want to lose those files, listen to me.
I guarantee there’ll be no problems!”
The cute girl was half-skeptical, but out of trust in her best friend, she finally nodded, deciding to believe Wendy Vale.
Wendy Vale actually wasn’t confident either.
Although she had personally seen Ethan’s repair skills were indeed superb, that was hardware!
If it was software, that was a completely different field!
What if he really couldn’t fix it?
Wouldn’t she be terribly embarrassed?
“Why isn’t he opening the door?”
Just as Wendy Vale was about to knock again, the door opened.
“Is something wrong?”
Ethan’s figure appeared behind the door.
Just then, the sun was rising, and sunlight shone from behind him, making him look as if he were bathed in light.
This instantly captivated both Wendy Vale and the cute girl!
After five hundred years of experience and power, Ethan carried himself with an effortless confidence that made him difficult to read.
Now, bathed in light, his charm was even more astonishing!
His confidence came from within, and it made him more compelling than his appearance alone ever could.
Wendy Vale and the cute girl Mia were no exception!
“Oh?
Another person I don’t know.
Hello, my name is Ethan.”
Ethan smiled slightly, seeing the cute girl Mia, and extended his hand in a friendly gesture.
Mia’s heart fluttered.
She quickly extended her hand as well, lightly shaking Ethan’s hand.
“Uh…
I…
we’re here to ask you to fix a computer!”
Wendy Vale only just came to her senses.
After realizing her lapse in etiquette, her face flushed slightly, and she immediately raised her voice to cover her embarrassment.
“Oh, alright, come in!”
Ethan nodded and turned to enter the house.
At this moment, the cute girl Mia also finally recovered, but her little heart was still incessantly pounding.
The scene of Ethan shaking her hand earlier lingered in her mind, refusing to fade…
She even felt her palm subtly burning.
The two entered Ethan’s rented room.
“Whose computer is having problems?”
Ethan took out his repair tools and asked.
“I…
mine!”
The cute girl shyly took out a laptop with a pink casing from her bag and timidly handed it to Ethan.
“Let me see.”
Ethan took the laptop.
As soon as he opened it, it froze on one screen, completely unresponsive.
He restarted it, but it was still the same.
As soon as it booted up, within ten seconds, it would inevitably freeze!
“The computer has a virus.”
Ethan concluded.
“My laptop has very important data.
Can it be fixed without reinstalling the system?”
Mia asked anxiously.
Wendy Vale was also a bit nervous…
her reputation depended on Ethan’s next words!
“No problem, it’s a piece of cake!”
At these words, Mia’s sparkling big eyes immediately lit up.
Wendy Vale also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
“JARVIS, ten seconds, can you fix it?”
Ethan looked up and spoke to the computer.
JARVIS?
Wendy Vale and Mia clearly hadn’t reacted.
They were a bit bewildered, not knowing who Ethan was talking to…
There were only three of them in the room.
Approximately two seconds later.
“Sir, problem solved!”
A slightly mechanical yet magnetic male voice came from the speaker of the pink laptop in Ethan’s hand.
“Ah!”
Mia and Wendy Vale were startled by JARVIS’s sudden voice, screaming involuntarily.
They stared fixedly at the pink laptop, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
“Ethan, what was that voice just now?”
Wendy Vale asked, her expression somewhat flustered.
“This lady, please do not be afraid.
I am Sir’s best work partner and assistant.
My name is JARVIS.
Please guide me well!”
JARVIS spoke like a gentleman, his tone conveying a comforting smile.
If JARVIS had a physical form now, one could even imagine him in a butler’s uniform, bowing with a hand over his chest!
“Ja…
JARVIS?”
Mia and Wendy Vale were both at a loss.
“JARVIS, that’s enough!
You’ve said everything.
What am I supposed to say?”
Ethan lightly coughed and handed over the laptop.
“This student, your laptop is fixed.
See if any of your information files are missing.”
Mia took the laptop and gently swiped the touchpad a few times, opening a folder.
Seeing that none of her important data was missing or corrupted, she immediately breathed a complete sigh of relief.
“Su…
Ethan, you’re really amazing.
Thank you!”
Mia shyly thanked Ethan.
“It was just a small favor, no need to be polite!”
Ethan said with a smile.
“Mia, now you know I didn’t lie to you, right?
This guy looks ordinary, but his repair skills are pretty good!”
“See?
In less than ten seconds, he fixed your laptop!
If it ever breaks again, just come find him.
Don’t be shy!”
Wendy Vale didn’t treat Ethan as an outsider, taking full responsibility.
Ethan silently rolled his eyes.
These sisters were truly family.
They really weren’t shy about taking advantage!
“Ethan, what was that JARVIS just now?
Is it alive or dead?”
Wendy Vale asked curiously.
“As JARVIS said, he is my work partner and assistant.
He is the artificial intelligence I created!”
“Artificial intelligence?!”
Mia and Wendy Vale both showed surprised expressions.
They weren’t unfamiliar with artificial intelligence, but such a concept, still in its theoretical stage, had yet to be truly developed by any company.
Even if there were some, they could only be considered “artificial stupidity,” utterly unworthy of being called true artificial intelligence!
