The reason was simple: his car couldn't fit it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That thing had been built to the standards of an adult tiger; the iron bars were thick, it was heavy, and most importantly, it was huge. Unless he used a truck, his small Cadillac couldn't even dream of carrying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed the listless little tiger on the passenger seat and secured it slightly with a seatbelt. From its initial struggle to its current quietness, Henry made a rough judgment based on the veterinary books he had read: besides hunger, the little tiger likely had some signs of dehydration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was evident that after the poachers caught the cub, they not only didn't feed it enough, but they also didn't give it much water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry didn't stop on the way and drove straight back to his rented apartment. Just before going upstairs, his posture of holding the little tiger was seen by Old Gary, who was sunbathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Henry!\" Old Gary called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Gary. What's up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you holding?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this is a tabby cat named Katie. Katie, come on, say hello, this is Gary.\" Henry pulled the tiger's paw and made a gesture for it to wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he added, \"I know I said I couldn't keep pets, but this little cat is homeless and very pitiful. Can you make an exception?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason Henry said this was because Old Gary's principles weren't actually that rigid. He was quite tolerant of the apartment tenants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this also had to do with Henry paying his rent promptly and never delaying, and occasionally bringing him food, having built a good relationship over time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Gary, who was looking from afar and couldn't see very clearly, waved his hand and said, \"Fine. But you have to clean up the feces yourself; you can't let it defecate everywhere in the hallway or other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If someone complains to me, I won't be able to make exceptions. If it starts howling in heat in the middle of the night, I'll have to let it go out to the street to find other tomcats. Understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Gary was treating the little guy in Henry's hands as a female cat. Henry naturally didn't want to explain, so he promised, \"No problem. It won't cause trouble for anyone else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, that's right, don't cause trouble for others.\" Old Gary waved him away. The California autumn always made him feel drowsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm going up,\" Henry said, and went upstairs on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he entered, a snowman-like spherical robot rolled to his feet. An infrared scan performed a biometric identification, and it suddenly emitted a high-frequency alarm sound that ordinary people couldn't hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Unknown object intrusion.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a type of encrypted high-frequency sound; warning-type alerts were all conveyed in this way. This was to prevent illegal intruders from noticing that this spherical robot, which looked like a toy, had already issued a warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to a loud, blaring alarm meant to scare people away, Henry, the Kryptonian, preferred to do things secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core robot, codenamed BB, had a shell made of plastic, with no fancy patterns or paint. Overall, it looked like a child's roly-poly toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that the lower part of this spherical toy could roll, allowing the robot to run all over the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he didn't use metal was, of course, because plastic was light. With a light self-weight, he didn't need to use a high-power motor, and the battery's endurance could be extended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Henry had lit up the technology tree for lithium-iron batteries, this thing was ultimately not a small arc reactor and still needed to be charged. To charge it, he had to consider the cost of electricity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order not to let his electricity bill exceed that of an ordinary household and become too conspicuous, Henry was quite restrained in his actions. Otherwise, instantly draining the electricity of this area wouldn't be difficult for what he wanted to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the shape of this plastic toy could reduce the vigilance of illegal intruders. Although Old Gary was guarding the first floor, he hadn't heard of any house in this apartment building being robbed so far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The robot's control program wasn't artificial intelligence. That kind of growing, self-learning program required a certain level of computing power support, and the current computer equipment wasn't strong enough. Henry just wrote a set of coping methods for most scenarios.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, upon hearing the warning sound from the core robot BB, Henry immediately issued an order using the same high-frequency sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'BB, register a new level-two user, username Katie.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'New level-two user, Katie, registered. Please provide DNA sample as soon as possible.' \"Katie, welcome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BB's voice was a very stiff electronic synthesized voice. It wasn't that he didn't want to use a gentle big sister's voice, but that would require extra computing resources to combine sentences and express tone and attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for Henry's generation, electronic voices were inexplicably cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the high-frequency sound dialogue, it came with high-level permissions. Even if an outsider detected it, they would still need to crack the encryption method. After cracking it, they would also need to identify languages outside the European and American systems to know the content, and use the same method to obtain high-level permissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With several layers of defensive measures, Henry didn't want to set any additional user IDs and passwords. What's more, regular updates? That kind of anti-human design would only block the forgetful user himself, not the people with ulterior motives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that during this period, the work Henry cared about most was building this voice-controlled system. Just figuring out how to make the microphone distinguish human voices in the environment, or from sounds coming from the TV, took quite a bit of effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, after receiving voice commands, how to convert them into commands the machine could understand. How the voice command method evolved from the original precise judgment to the current fuzzy judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even when he used a modulated voice or an abnormal way of speaking, it could still trigger the command actions. Only after making adjustments to the details did he achieve today's results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, to this extent, although the system wasn't built with artificial intelligence programs as the backbone, it did use big data analysis methods to achieve these functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>High-frequency sound dialogue was the highest-level user with high-level permissions, which could change the underlying confidential data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry himself was a level-one user, possessing the permission to use all command functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level-two users only had partial command functions, waiting to be enabled. This level of person, for the time being, only included Katie, this little tiger. Considering the situation where he might not be home in the future and Katie's three meals would need to be prepared by BB, he still opened up some functions as appropriate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only temporary visitor registered was Old Gary; after he entered the door, BB wouldn't issue a warning. There were no lethal defensive measures installed in the house, only surveillance camera lenses that would automatically turn on after an illegal intruder entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a rented house, especially an apartment where ordinary people lived, setting up lethal traps was too much; besides, the tighter the protection, wasn't it just telling others that the things here were more important? Henry didn't put any treasures that couldn't be lost in the rented house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when his black clinic in South Los Angeles first opened, thieves visited every three days. By now, it was in a state that even cockroaches and mice despised. Wasn't it because it was a place where anyone could come and go, and he didn't put anything that could be sold for money there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After registering the new user and greeting the user who entered, BB rolled back to its charging station. This core robot could only temporarily attach arms to perform cleaning. Henry hadn't designed too many functions yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, pouring a large bowl of water for the little tiger was still something Henry had to do himself. Then he took three large steaks out of the refrigerator to fry, preparing to let Katie enjoy one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether to feed it raw or cooked, Henry hadn't figured it out yet. He simply let it eat the same cooked food as himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing to worry about was that tigers are carnivores. It couldn't be like a dog, eating whatever humans ate. Because tigers didn't have the ability to digest starch well, eating too many plants or grains would only lead to indigestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This really meant he had to work hard to earn money, otherwise he wouldn't be able to afford this little ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>",1492,"2026-06-18T01:44:31.091Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","89d1b8c32220194696ae5f0033bf9cd328d097531380d3c6dc81bc24f81d9e28","marvel-s-salty-fish-kryptonian-chapter-199","marvel-s-salty-fish-kryptonian-chapter-197",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-salted-fish-kryptonian-cover.jpg"]
