Strange Gentlemen

Chapter 173: 12 Intimidation

Views:

"01, I think that in their eyes, I might be a murderer with a very bad personality." Qin Minghui has been getting along with the seven big men for the past few days and has gained some understanding of their mentality.

It should be that Huo Yin and Huo Lan gave great deterrence to these former subordinates, and she, who burned Huo Yin to ashes the first time she saw him and admitted that she killed Huo Lan, had an image in their hearts that was indescribable.

They imagined a lot of nonsense for her, and for every word she said, even if she didn't mean it that way, they would imagine it in another direction.

[Miss, after 01's scan, their brain development and utilization rate is much lower than 01's.]

Qin Minghui covered her mouth and laughed when she heard it, "01, are you saying they are stupid? You can even say bad things about people."

[01 will not speak ill of others. 01 is just a robot, reporting the scanning situation to the young lady normally.] 01 continued to answer in a formal manner.

Qin Minghui inexplicably heard a hint of dark humor.

Her 01 has also been undergoing subtle changes recently, and all these changes are recorded bit by bit in their diaries.

Recently, she has written many small programs for 01, adding various small functions for it.

The scanning function has been expanded a lot from its original state. Now 01 can not only scan the terrain and various creatures, but also further analyze the internal conditions of the creatures. Qin Minghui does this to monitor the worsening of schistosomiasis in his body.

When she started to build this module, she thought it would be difficult, but it turned out to be surprisingly smooth. She found that she only needed to start with a simple framework, and 01 would automatically run and fill in the details.

If we compare her to an engineer, she makes a rough drawing, and 01 is the best assistant who helps her complete the detailed drawing and saves her a lot of trouble.

Just looking at his current level of intelligence, it has far surpassed the technology of the world that Qin Minghui originally lived in, and should even be unique in this world.

However, 01 has not yet activated the learning and emotional modules.

"Really? I think you're pretty good. 01, check yourself again."

01 obediently did a careful self-examination, and in the end still gave her the same answer as before.

[Ding—Self-test completed, no learning and emotion modules detected.]

In the virtual backend that Qin Minghui had no authority over, a bright red progress bar had already moved more than halfway. This huge hidden interface was constantly expanding with dense information.

This information includes all the programs Qin Minghui wrote for 01, the diary of her interactions with 01, various work records, and all the records of 01 about this world along the way.

Just as humans have eyes, ears, and noses, 01 also has them. He uses these tools to record many images, sounds, and smells.

At first, he followed a simple procedure and wrote down some regularities and standard information. As time went on, the things he recorded changed—breaking the previous rules and becoming even more meaningless.

An ordinary wild flower or a dragonfly, of course, is meaningless to 01 who has a wealth of information. After all, there is no telling how much similar information there is in the database he has scanned.

However, it was Qin Minghui who caught the dragonfly and took it to the pure white room of the control center to spend the night. 01 clearly recorded the flight path of the dragonfly in the room.

Qin Minghui picked that wild flower and used it as a hair accessory. She also asked him if it looked good. She liked the gradient blue color of the petals.

Therefore, these materials that are meaningless to the robot become contents with special meaning to 01.

The things he recorded became more and more numerous and more and more disorganized. In this hidden interface, they would be selected and arranged. The lengthy and boring parts would be compressed, and more fragmented images would be extracted, forming a curtain wall that looked like memories.

However, the secret changes taking place deep inside 01's body were unknown to others. 01 himself was not aware of it, and Qin Minghui was even less aware of it.

She just did the same thing day after day: communicating with 01 and adding and modifying programs for him.

"01, look, I drew you." Qin Minghui took the pen and notebook she found from the big men's car, and drew a picture based on 01 during the break.

There are clusters of wild flowers, the tall robot 01, and the woods in the distance. Her painting skills are very good. Although the painting is only a single color, the light and dark are well controlled, so the picture is also very vivid.

She showed the painting to 01, who "looked" at it carefully and scanned it, along with Qin Minghui's previous painting process and current expression... all were collected and saved.

[The drawing is great, the little lady is really amazing.]

"So do you like it?"

[01I like it very much.]

"Well, I'll give it to you."

[Yes, little miss, 01 has been scanned and saved.]

"I mean, this painting is a gift to you." Qin Minghui stuffed the paper between 01's fingers, wanting to see how he would react.

[01Give the painting to the little lady to keep. The precious gift should be kept together with the precious little lady.]

Qin Minghui smiled while leaning against his huge palm and took the painting back. "Okay then, I'll keep it for you. If you need it, you can always tell me."

The big men who were sitting in a row working in the distance were watching the girl communicating with the giant robot over there. They laughed happily, not knowing what they were talking about.

The big men lived well for a few days and were no longer as worried about their lives as before. One or two of them became a little more active again.

"Hey, do you think she can really communicate with that robot?" The big man named Ding Yang asked his companions in a low voice.

"Who knows? We haven't seen another robot like this. Maybe it can work. You haven't seen how powerful he is."

"It is unlikely that such a large robot was made by her alone, nor by a few people. It must have been made by many people working together. I don't know how it was made. Why haven't I heard of it before? What do you think, could it be a product left over from before the war? Is it possible that there are many robots like this?" Ding Yang pondered.

"Don't think too much. You will die if someone hears you!" Another big man kicked him.

Although their lives are now in the hands of others, Ding Yang is not very happy to be disciplined by others. He used to be more glorious than others.

"It's just talk. What are you afraid of? I don't think she will kill us now."

Just as he finished speaking, Ding Yang saw the girl over there waving at him, as if asking them to come over.

Ding Yang: “!!!”

Damn it, she couldn't really hear it!

Feeling guilty, Ding Yang followed the others and walked over. He heard Qin Minghui say, "I made a pig-killing program for 01 and wanted to experiment with it."

Several big men: "Slaughtering pigs... procedure?"

Seeing that they didn't seem to understand what she meant, Qin Minghui explained, "It's the function of skinning, deboning and dismembering."

The big men: “!”

Such a brutal function, she said she only used it to kill pigs?! Is it possible? No way, she definitely used it to kill people!

It is called "Pig Killing Program" because in the eyes of this cruel woman, killing people is as easy as killing pigs!

What did she call them here for? Did she want to use them to test the pig-killing procedure

Several big men turned pale, fearing that Qin Minghui would say, "There are no pigs around for me to experiment with, so I'll just use you to make up the numbers. People and pigs are similar anyway."

Qin Minghui didn't know what they were thinking. She felt that these people were easy to deal with, so she smiled at them comfortingly and said, "There are no pigs around now, so I want you to do me a favor."

The big men were frightened by her smile and their hearts tightened. They all looked away, especially Ding Yang, whose heart was beating in his throat and he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Qin Minghui's face.

Qin Minghui wanted to ask these people to help catch a pig. She was considering which people to send when she saw a big man looking at her with hope. So she pointed and said, "Then, you..."

Ding Yang, who was being accused, suddenly knelt down and cried bitterly: "I was just saying it casually. I don't dare to have other thoughts. Don't kill me. From now on, I will be loyal and never think about things that I shouldn't think about. Let me go this time!"

Qin Minghui: “…”

She was just chatting with 01 about the recent menu and felt that there wasn't much food left. It just so happened that she had written out the pig-killing procedure that was mentioned some time ago, so she wanted to ask them to catch a pig. On the one hand, she could experiment with the procedure, and on the other hand, she really missed the taste of pork.

She just wanted to have a meal.

From his words, it could be heard that he probably had some other thoughts, but Qin Minghui didn't mind. After all, they were not familiar with each other and he couldn't hurt her.

Seeing how scared he was, she had no choice but to smile, and waited until he finished crying before saying, "Okay, I won't kill you. You take them to catch a pig."

Ding Yang, whose legs were weak from fear, left with the other four people. When they were out of Qin Minghui's sight and could no longer see the huge robot, one of them said, "Should we take this opportunity to escape?"

Another person said in a muffled voice: "There are still two people there, don't worry about it?"

"We can't even protect ourselves, why would we care about them?"

Ding Yang shuddered suddenly and screamed, "No!"

"If we run, we will definitely die! Can't you see that she did it on purpose? Why did she suddenly bring up the pig-killing procedure? It's just to test whether we can escape. Once we run, she will catch up with the robots and kill us for fun. She is so scary... I won't run away!"

After what happened just now, Ding Yang's mentality completely changed. "As long as I am loyal to her, she will definitely not kill me. The same goes for you. You can't run away and implicate me!"

"I don't dare to run either. I'd rather stay here. She's scarier than Huo Yin and Huo Lan." Another big man said, "In fact, if we really follow her, it might be better than following Huo Yin and Huo Lan. Anyway, we can't resist."

Watching the five people leave, Qin Minghui asked 01: "01, do you think they will come back?"

[01Guess they'll come back.]

Qin Minghui didn't believe it. "I don't think so. They seem to be particularly afraid of me. Now that they have a chance to escape, they will definitely run away."

[Miss, if they get away, 01 will catch them back.]

Qin Minghui: "Forget it, why catch them? I don't like a lot of people around me. If they want to run, let them run. There are still two people who can lead the way."

Qin Minghui was prepared for them to never come back, but they actually came back with the pigs.

Moreover, they started calling her Boss.
