The day after Yuanchu disappeared, Fei Xiu originally wanted to find someone to investigate her identity, but after careful consideration, he gave up. Her situation is too bizarre to be explained scientifically, and letting others know about it may cause unnecessary trouble.
He could do nothing but wait for her to appear on her own. This feeling of being unable to control herself made him a little irritable, so he actively increased his workload and training, exhausting himself like a dog every day. Anyway, with No. 1 by his side, he has no worries at all.
"No. 1, as a housekeeper, you are a bit unqualified." At the end of the day's work, Fei Xiu sat on the sofa and said casually.
Yuan Chu looked at someone who was drinking the delicious soup she made and enjoying her massage service: "... Excuse me, where did I fail?"
"She was able to enter my manor at will, and then suddenly disappear from my manor, and you didn't notice anything unusual at all?"
Original: "...I am just an assistant robot, not the monitoring system of the manor."
"Didn't you design the manor's monitoring system?" Fei Xiu made trouble unreasonably.
"But the control authority is in the hands of the master." Yuan was as motionless as a mountain.
Fei Xiu: "..."
I can't say anything about my own robot, so I continue to drink soup.
"Well, this soup tastes good. Have your cooking skills improved again?"
"Thank you for the compliment, Master. The ingredients, time and heat used in this soup are still the same as before, and there is no improvement."
"Really..." Fei Xiu remembered that Yuanchu had made it for him before, and the taste was indeed similar. Speaking of this, he suddenly discovered that the girl was really similar to his robot, not only in her living habits, but also in various skills...
Fei Xiu stopped drinking the soup and his eyes fell on his robot.
Both are good at cooking, equally proficient in machinery manufacturing, the same way of speaking, the same movements... Fei Xiu's hand shook, and a little bit of soup spilled and landed on his clothes.
"Master, are you okay?" Yuan Chu took a towel and wiped the soup on his hands and clothes.
Fei Xiu looked at her steadily, his mind in confusion. He felt that his guess was ridiculous, that he would mistake the robot for that girl.
Although I kept denying it in my heart, the more I thought about it, the more shaken I became. Yuanchu doesn't hide it deliberately, and many of his words and deeds coincide with those of robots. As long as you pay attention, you will find many flaws.
They didn't feel anything when they existed at the same time, but when one of them disappeared, that subtle sense of fit emerged.
"Master, let me make you a cup of tea." Yuan Chu took the bowl from Fei Xiu's hand, turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Fei Xiu moved his lips and suddenly called out: "Yuanchu."
Yuanchu turned around and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"
Fei Xiu was indifferent for a moment and said expressionlessly: "What I just called was 'Original'."
Yuan·Robot·Chu, who was caught off guard and fell off his horse: "..."
"It's really you!" Fei Xiu stood up suddenly, jumped in front of the robot, held her arm, lifted her up, and looked at her in surprise, "Are you a robot???"
Original: "Obviously..."
"No." Fei Xiu looked her up and down, "I mean, how could a robot turn into a human? What species are you?"
He had seen simulated robots, but there was no way he couldn't tell the difference between real people and simulated ones. The original body temperature, heartbeat, and pulse are all real, and they are definitely living human beings.
Yuanchu was silent for a moment and replied: "My body is a robot, but I have the ability to transform into a human."
"What kind of magical ability is this? Is it some unknown black technology?" Fei Xiu's scientific brain still did not activate any fantasy factors.
"You can understand it this way." When science develops to its extreme, it will eventually move towards the anti-matter stream of consciousness, and the way of heaven is the ultimate existence of the stream of consciousness.
"Change and show me." Fei Xiu's expression was still calm, but his outlook on life was suffering an unprecedented impact.
"Okay, Master." Yuan Chu didn't hesitate. The blue electronic eye flashed a few times and then went out. The next second, a figure gradually took shape in the air, countless stars gathered, and finally condensed into a naked girl.
As soon as Fei Xiu's hand loosened, the robot he was holding fell straight down. At the critical moment, he raised his leg and hooked the robot up again, placing it firmly next to it.
There was no robot to block him, and the girl's exquisite body was completely exposed in front of him.
The shock in Fei Xiu's heart was indescribable, and the girl's pretty figure was reflected in his burning eyes. He slowly reached out his hand and lifted up her hair. The soft hair slipped from his fingers. Her skin was warm and white, like a piece of fine warm jade, without a single flaw.
He looked at the girl, then at the robot next to him that seemed to be frozen, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.
Yuanchu felt it quietly for a moment, and found that although their luck was somewhat turbulent, the connection between them showed no sign of being severed, and then he felt relieved.
Obviously, Fei Xiu does not reject the human self.
"Master." Yuanchu Yi stood on the ground and called the master with a soft voice. It was completely different from the feeling in the robot form, and the impact on the senses was epic.
Fei Xiu quickly looked away, his heart beating like thunder and his mind undulating.
His woman is a robot, no, his robot is a woman! No, no, no, why did his robot turn into a woman? Is the world crazy? How could such an unscientific thing happen? ?
"No. 1, no, Original." Fei Xiuqiang calmed himself, "To be honest, are you really a 'robot' developed by Kemal Company?" Is this black technology company going to heaven? ! !
"Yes." The robot she possessed did come from the Kemal Company.
"The robots they developed back then that were the same as yours all had the ability to transform into adults?"
"No, I'm the only one."
Fei Xiu breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, this kind of robot was no longer a robot, but a special kind of intelligent life form. If it could be mass-produced, wouldn't it be the way to rule the world? His robot is only for home use. If a military-grade robot team comes online, human history may be rewritten.
The reason why Kemal Company went bankrupt back then was probably because they developed this magical intelligent creature, right
Fei Xiu, who believed in scientism, used his own way of thinking to explain the rationality of the original existence.
"You said that the robot is your body, so if the body is damaged..." He suddenly thought of a question that frightened him. Not long ago, his robot was almost blown to pieces.
"As long as the core is kept intact, I'll be fine." Yuan Chu replied without reservation.
Looking at the girl's completely trusting eyes, Fei Xiu was shocked. He took off his coat, wrapped it around her naked body, and held her in his arms. The original is unique and entirely His. Make sure of this and nothing else matters.
"I am your master, and I will protect you." Fei Xiu remembered his tenacity to survive alone in the garbage dump, his meticulous care, his selfless teachings, and the friendship of risking his life to save him... every bit of dedication, Enough to make him return the same affection and trust.
After calming down his thoughts, Fei Xiu finally stopped worrying about this matter, and instead studied the similarities and differences between the original human and the first robot with great interest. He still couldn't understand how a living person with flesh and blood could become one with a robot. In what form does she exist
Fei Xiu touched Yuan Chu's body here and there, and the rich and full touch in his hands soon turned his strong thirst for knowledge from the consciousness level to the practical test, and he spent two hours fully implementing the teaching concept of "practicing the real "juice"..."
When the satisfied Fei Xiu came out of the bathroom, Yuan Chu turned into a robot again, cleaning up the traces left by their fierce battle inside and out.
Fei Xiu's eyes followed the movement of the robot, and there was a warmth hidden in his eyes that even he didn't notice.
"Stop being busy, leave the rest to the cleaning ball." Fei Xiu summoned his robot.
The robot shook the underwear in its hand: "Your underwear cannot be handed over to the cleaning ball, it will be disposed of as garbage."
Fei Xiu: "...you wash all my underwear for me?"
"yes."
Fei Xiu touched his nose and felt like he was a bit of a scumbag, leaving everything to his woman.
"Let's leave it alone for now. Come over here and I'll buy you something." Fei Xiu sat on the carpet and opened the online store, preparing to buy some clothes and daily necessities for Yuan Chu.
Yuanchu slid over and was next to him.
Fei Xiu naturally raised his hand, hugged her cold metal body, and pointed at the screen: "Choose what you like."
The original blue electronic eye flickered, and the pages on the screen flipped. In just a moment, the shopping cart was filled with products, with a total of less than 3,000 points.
"Is this enough?" Fei Xiu patted her on the back, "You don't have to save money for me, I can buy whatever I want."
"Master, let me remind you that your account has been overdrawn a long time ago, and now you are using the money I earned."
Fei Xiu: "..." Suddenly he realized that he was the adopted one.
"I rarely transform, so I don't need to prepare too many things." Yuanchu added.
"Rarely transformed? Why?" Fei Xiu, who knows the taste of marrow, felt a cool feeling.
"It's basically in robot form during the day, and at night, if necessary, it turns into a human."
"Needed, very needed!" Fei Xiu looked at her very seriously, "No one is with me at night, I can't sleep alone."
"Okay, I'll stay with you tonight." This man, who sleeps like a dead pig whenever the pillow touches his face, and even asks others to take a bath for him, has the nerve to say that he can't sleep alone? However, the original kindness did not expose him.
Fei Xiu was satisfied and kissed her metal head.
After learning the identity of the robot, Fei Xiu's life became more fulfilling. He was as tired as a dog during the day and slept like a pig at night. He woke up in the morning and exercised passionately for an hour, with gourmet food and massage during the intermission. He accumulated knowledge and gained all-round mental and physical fitness. improvement.
Fei Xiu was full of energy, as if he had a second spring.
A month later, Fei Xiu, who was busy in the workplace, received another distress signal.
One or two such distress signals would be received every once in a while. The transport teams traveling nearby were often attacked by mutant mechanical beasts. Sometimes Fei Xiu could rescue them in time, and sometimes he could only clean up the mess.
The mutated mechanical beasts seemed to be acting more and more frequently, and Fei Xiu felt that the virus might be brewing some big move.
After Fei Xiu received the distress signal, he immediately rushed to the rescue site. However, because it was a bit far away, when he arrived, the battle was over. The transport team suffered heavy casualties and all the supplies were robbed.
Fei Xiu looked grim and reported the situation to Xinlan and asked them to send someone to deal with it.
After returning home, Yuanchu came to greet him, helped him hang up his coat, and handed him hot tea.
"The garrison and guards in Xinlan are too few to protect the transportation channel."
The manor where Fei Xiu was located was not far from several of the transportation channels, so he could often receive distress signals from those who were attacked.
"Master, it is not your duty to rescue."
"I know, I have retired." Fei Xiu lowered his eyes, his eyes dark.
"It has nothing to do with retirement." Yuanchu continued, "Every time you contribute money and effort yourself, you will also bear the losses caused by the rescue. This is not a long-term solution."
Fei Xiu raised his head: "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is to change the free rescue to paid rescue." Yuanchu suggested, "Post escort missions online, others can place orders in advance, and you can also rush to the transportation channel in advance and escort them all the way to their destination. "
Fei Xiu's eyes lit up.
"In this way, you can earn a certain commission without having to worry about being unable to rescue." They have transformed more than thirty mechanical beasts, with considerable combat effectiveness. Coupled with Fei Xiu's command, they can perform ordinary escort missions. Not a problem at all.
"What a good idea!" Fei Xiu, who was born in the regular army, never thought of becoming a mercenary, and the rescue was just a casual thing. Under Yuan's reminder, he suddenly felt enlightened.
Post employment tasks to maximize your role.
Although he can no longer participate in large-scale battles, he must at least ensure the safety of the transportation channels around him.
It’s not about glory, it’s about responsibility.
That night, Fei Xiu posted a sign on Xinlan Online to accept escort tasks for several routes to and from Xinlan.
"Chuchu, what do you think my hiring fee should be?" Fei Xiu asked.
The original calculation was: "The starting price is 30,000. If there are other requirements, the price will be calculated separately."
"So low?" As a senior colonel, he only needs 30,000 yuan to launch the plan? He pointed at the top few mercenaries, "Look at them, one mission costs millions."
"You are still a newcomer in the mercenary world and have no reputation. Don't be too ambitious." Yuan Chu reasoned with him, "When you complete a few tasks and accumulate enough reputation, your worth will be greatly improved."
Fei Xiu struggled for a long time and finally settled on this low price. He had no complaints about the voluntary rescue, but if the price was clearly marked, he couldn't tolerate being sold at a low price. But what Yuan Chu said made sense. He was still a newcomer in the mercenary world. Others didn't know his true strength, so they were naturally unwilling to pay a high price.
After the task was released, Fei Xiu waited patiently for two days and finally received the first employment contract. The other party did not know his identity and hired him just to add an extra layer of insurance.
On the winding road, four trucks came slowly. Small shuttles have a limited load-bearing capacity, and only special trucks can be used to transport heavy objects, unless merchants are willing to spend a lot of money to use large shuttles. It might be okay to do it once or twice, but if you use this method every time, the cost will be too high.
Xinlan is located in a remote area, and a long stretch of the distance is an undefended hollow area. Mutated mechanical beasts like to rob supplies in this kind of place.
"Mr. Qian, where is the mercenary team you hired?" A man in his forties with a crew cut said to the man with a mustache wearing a combat uniform beside him.
Mustache looked at the coordinates and replied: "It should be right in front."
The flat-headed man leaned on the seat with a look of disapproval: "I don't think you need to hire any more mercenary teams. The bodyguards we hired this time are gold medal bodyguards. If you can't handle them, that one is only worth 30,000 points. What can the new team do?"
"The other party is familiar with the route, and that's what I like." Mustache stared ahead, "Besides, it's only 30,000, so it doesn't matter if it's in vain."
"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say." The crew-cut man chuckled a few times.
At this time, Mustache suddenly pointed out the window and said, "Look, there seems to be someone over there."
The flat-headed man looked up and saw a tall man standing by the wide road. He was wearing a combat uniform and a pair of sunglasses, with his right foot on a stone and his elbow resting on his knee. His posture looked very casual.
"He's the only one? Didn't he say there was a mercenary team?" The flat-headed man looked around and saw only a patch of yellow sand.
The mustache also frowned, asked the driver to stop the car in front of the man, and asked: "Mercenary 2333?"
This code name was originally chosen. It was said that the number "2333" was very friendly, and Fei Xiu did not express any opinions.
"Yes." Fei Xiu checked the identity with Mustache while scanning the convoy front and back with his eyes hidden under his sunglasses.
"Where are your team members?"
"They are temporarily hiding. If they are in danger, they will come out immediately to provide support. You don't have to worry."
The crew-cut man said with an unkind expression, "You'd better not lie to us, otherwise we will definitely report you once we know that you have made false information."
"Don't worry, we sell with integrity, and no one can deceive anyone." Fei Xiu ignored the scrutinizing glances from the convoy, jumped onto the truck, and said, "Let's go, we are still more than a hundred kilometers away from Xinlan."
Mustache stopped talking and waved to the driver to move on.
The crew-cut man muttered: "This 30,000 is wasted..."
Shallow humans know nothing about the strength of a senior colonel.
The author has something to say: Fei Xiu: 30,000 to hire a senior colonel is simply a cabbage price, right? ! You will all be able to go down in history with these 30,000!
