The Tycoon Inheritance [SaMpLe]

19.

Morning came sooner than he expected. His mind leaving the throes of sleep and his body following its lead was a testament to that. Regaining his bearings, he stretched his stiff limbs, swearing he heard the faint sounds of old age when his joints straightened with shuddering cracks.

"This is the reason comfortable beds are made," he muttered to himself but he didn't make a move to leave the carpet. 

"My AI home system was upgraded. I wonder how advanced they made it," he mused aloud.

Forcing himself to sit up, he glanced at the antique clock hanging on the wall before him. 

Four minutes after six. He had a lot to do today. Quietly he placed together his itinerary for the day - it was a mix of household preparations and fine-tuning for his graduation projects. During his time planning against those two doorknobs, he was adjusting the projects. His knowledge from his original home helped a lot. 

"Good morning, Argon!" 

Argon was the name of the house system the architect coined upon completion. When Chen Kai was signed as the new owner, his personal information was fed to the system, and his arrival started the second ownership recognition process - Biological Matching. A blood sample was given and his medical records were found and then sealed under personal information.

The house also had full body scanners to watch over its master and the staff. 

The waist-high robots in the villa were also fed this information as secondary guards when the security team wasn't around. The combination of biology, technology, and security with traditionalism was the dream of the architect. He wanted the owner to feel safe from the outside world even if it's just a few hours.

Unsurprisingly, this was Chen Kai's ideal way of living for his retirement.

{Good Morning, young master Kai!}

"Personalized..." Chen Kai muttered and got to his feet. "Are there any permissions you wish me to decide on, Argon?" This time he voiced his words in a clear tone while tidying the living room.

{Yes, young master Kai. Do you wish to do so now?}

"Yes, please. Before we proceed, contact Commander Liu for the details on the live-in chef for the house and for the upcoming staff interview. Have the robots do a light cleaning. Alert me when you're ready for the configurations."

{As you wish, young master.}

In less than a minute, Argon's voice was heard throughout the outside speakers when Chen Kai entered the stone-paved courtyard to access his private quarters. The cool stones beneath his feet made him smile and the cold morning wind made his body shiver in delight. The darkness was clearing up beckoning a new day.

He was excited to live freely. The carefree feeling was shown clearly on his face. It was a huge contrast from the cautious and cold young master image was shown to everyone when he first transmigrated to this world.

Chen Kai was showing his true countenance. 

{Please select the permissions for the following - Security for main doors.}

"Automatic closure  - open at 6am and close at 8pm. Sole manual override for both."

{Accepted. Security and daily movements for secondary doors, shades and windows.}

"Shades and windows will be opened and closed depending on the weather. Please set a daily weather notification upon rising. Secondary doors of the main house and guest courtyard will be left on manual setting. My private quarters will be left as is - private - only my entry is allowed."
