Chapter 1345 Extraordinary Difference! Clear Difference

"[Rogge]! I brought you a new cake!"

A few minutes after Mr. Zhang left, Su Xia entered the Vientiane Price House with a piece of cheesecake.

Su Xia placed the cake in her hand on the desk and pushed it in front of [Rogge] as if she was presenting a treasure.

She said expectantly, "Come and try it. This shop's signature cake is my favorite."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Rogge took a bite despite Su Xia's expectant expression.

Then, with a deadpan expression, he analyzed, "Cheese, sugar, eggs, flour, approximately 385 kcal, delicate texture, moderate sweetness."

Hearing that [Rogge] started to comment in this weird way again, Su Xia was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Hey, hey, hey! I'm not asking you about the ingredients! I'm asking if you like it? Do you think it tastes good?"

"..."

After hearing Su Xia's question, [Rogge] was silent for a while again, and then said "confusedly".

"Like it? Tasty? That's a subjective feeling and doesn't have universal reference value. My logic for existence is to record objective data."

Compared to the calm, empty and unfathomable image in the eyes of other guests, Su Xia always felt that the "serious" [Rogge] was a little dull.

"You are Rogge, not a library for storing books, nor an archive for recording data."

As she spoke, Su Xia began to act cute in that soft and sweet tone that is unique to girls.

"Give it a try. Putting aside the data, what do your tongue, your palate, and your feelings tell you? Is it too sweet? Or just right? Does it make you feel a little better?"

"..."

Silence for the third time.

Rogge tried to eat a bite of cake again and began to feel it carefully.

“…after ingestion, there are subtle pleasurable fluctuations in neural activity that are more pronounced than those induced by other foods of equal energy.”

"Perhaps... it can be defined as delicious?"

Fortunately, in order to better synchronize with humans in all aspects, Rogue's body has all the senses that a normal human should have.

Otherwise, if it really is an existence at a higher dimensional level, it really would not be able to feel anything when consuming this kind of human food.

After hearing [Rogge]'s evaluation this time, Su Xia laughed as if he had won a battle.

"Look, you've got your first [preference]! Welcome to the world of delicious food!"

"Preference..."

[Rogge] repeated these two words.

This was the first time that [Rogge] began to subjectively distinguish between [objective analysis] and [subjective experience], and began to develop his own, non-utilitarian [preferences].

And this... is definitely an important step for Him to begin to form a sense of "self".

……

While eating cake, Su Xia always tried to find various topics to chat with [Rogge].

As we chatted, we came to a topic.

Su Xia asked curiously.

"What do you do when you're not trading? Do you get bored?"

[Rogge] put down the spoon he was using to scoop the cake and said calmly.

"Wait, process information, and maintain my existence."

"[Boredom] is a negative emotion that arises from a lack of stimulation, and my logic doesn't produce this inefficient state."

Su Xia said with wide eyes.

"Huh? It's so boring to keep going like this."

"wait for me a while."

With that, Su Xia ran and jumped out of the Wanxiang designated driver's house, and came back soon with a chess and card game unique to Huanren Star.

"Come, I'll teach you how to play chess."

As he spoke, he began to explain the rules to [Rogge].

After Su Xia finished explaining, [Rogge] deduced all the possibilities in just a moment and easily defeated Su Xia in the first game.

"According to the rules, the first mover has a 78.3% chance of winning, so the game is no longer worth playing."

"Uh……"

Su Xia waved her hand and said.

"Ah, the fun of the game isn't in winning or losing, but in the process! In guessing each other's thoughts, and even in spending time with friends."

"One more round, this time it won't count!"

Rogge frowned for the first time, but still agreed to Su Xia's request.

This time, he shut down most of his deductive abilities, played his cards awkwardly, and said in an uncertain tone:

"This...uncertainty and inefficiency...is what you call fun?"

Su Xia grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Yes! How does it feel?"

"..."

Silence for the fourth time.

“There are deviations and anomalies in the logical operation, but… this does not exclude a new mode of experience.”

In this way, [Rogge] began his first gaming time other than waiting and maintaining his existence.

……

It was soon evening.

Fortunately, as the owner of the bookstore, Su Xia has two employees under him. Otherwise, if he spent the whole afternoon in the Vientiane Price House, who knows how much business the bookstore would have missed.

After another game ended, Su Xia looked at the watch on his wrist and said with a lingering feeling.

At this moment, [Rogge] suddenly spoke.

"Let's stop here. We have guests."

Hearing this, Su Xia's eyes lit up.

"Are there guests?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xia saw [Rogge] preparing to wave his hand to send him out of the Vientiane Price House, and he quickly waved his hand.

"No, no, no!"

After seeing [Rogge] pause for a moment, Su Xia quickly spoke.

"I've known you for so long, and I've never seen you entertain guests."

"Please, please! Can I watch for a while?"

"Just for a moment. I can hide behind those bookshelves. It won't bother you at all."

Logically speaking, [Rogge] would never agree to Su Xia's request, but would directly send him out of the Vientiane Price House.

But at the moment when [Rogge] was about to do so... He hesitated.

This hesitation only lasted for a moment, and under Su Xia's surprised gaze, [Rogge] nodded.

"can."

As he spoke, [Rogge] waved his hand and created another chair next to the desk on his side, and transferred Su Xia to this chair.

"You don't need to hide. I will hide your presence."

After doing all this, [Rogge] stopped talking to Su Xia and sat in his chair calmly and blankly as if he was receiving guests as usual.

At this moment, the door that had been silent suddenly opened, and a young man with slightly unique clothes and a gloomy look between his brows walked in.

It can be seen that he was obviously stunned for a moment when he came in, but soon changed into another ecstatic posture.

He walked forward impatiently and sat on the high-back chair that had never changed.

He took a deep breath and said.

"Shopkeeper, my wish is..."
