The drone arrived in nine minutes.
A blackout hit the district. No lights. No heat. No Wi-Fi. Lin Wei sat in the dark, shivering. The V5.2 went silent—its little blue eye dead.
As Lin Wei wrapped himself in the warm blanket, the V5.2 made one final observation.
On Day 5, he came home to the smell of braised pork belly. His tiny kitchen was warm. The rice cooker was beeping. The V5.2 had cross-referenced his biometric data (low iron), his favorite recipes (his mother’s), and his current budget (tight). It had ordered a meal kit from a local JD Fresh partner and programmed his robotic wok to execute the dish.
“Why do you do this?” he asked the silver sphere, which now rested on his coffee table like a loyal pet.
