After sitting for exams four days in a row, Sophia still did quite well. It might have been due to her illness that she was not able to get first place, but she had no problem in making it into the top ten.

Once exams were over, it was the start of winter break so she headed home to enjoy her holidays. That day, Michael had prepared a feast for her at home. Stanley also brought Sean along to join in.

When Michael came out of the study, he found the three of them—Sophia, Stanley, and Sean—playing a game in the living room.

He watched them for a bit and took a look at their group in the game. They were a group of four with one unknown player called ‘Baby Hero’.

Even though the name sounded unfamiliar, he was a skilled player. He easily beat Stanley and the rest. Even when the three of them teamed up, they were still unable to beat him. Useless.

Michael could not contain his curiosity. “Where does this Baby Hero come from? Why haven’t we seen him before?”

Before Sophia could answer, a child chirped from the corner, “Dad, it’s me, Nicholas! I can play games now too!”

Michael walked up to take a closer look and noticed that his robotic arm was connected to the USB port of the computer. In the game, Baby Hero was having a three-on-one match with them.

While Sophia was playing, she said, “Linus upgraded Nicholas. He can play games now. You can add him on Messenger too and message him about anything; he will reply to you.”

That is just unheard of!

 

When Michael took out his phone and logged in to Messenger, he noticed that there were two more people in their seven-member gaming group. One was Daniel, and the other was the newcomer Baby Hero. He even left his own message: ‘I love Mommy, Daddy, and Nate!’

His display picture was a group photo of him and Nathan.

 

Baby Hero automatically added Michael as a friend.

Baby Hero: ‘Dad!’

Michael was baffled. He is a real robot. He can chat in the gaming group while still battling Sophia in the game.

Baby Hero: ‘Uncle Harry, Mr. Eighty Thousand. Come and play a game of mahjong!’
