Chapter 187: 26 patterns

Unfolding the virtual console, 01 stood in the center, and quickly tapped the more than 100 virtual keys with his ten fingers. As he typed, strings of complex characters appeared in front of him, and then flowed into a rotating brain pattern, becoming one of the complex patterns.

In front of him, Qin Minghui was sitting on a chair, her cheeks were pale due to illness, her hair was disheveled, and she was wrapped in a soft shawl. There was an unconcealable fatigue on her face, but she was staring at the screen seriously.

This is 01 transforming the brain structure of the robot and improving the functions of the humanoid robot. Although the appearance of Grandma Li Ze's robots is excellent, the internal structure can be said to be simple. 01 is not satisfied with this slow mechanical body that is no different from ordinary human strength, so he perfected it himself.

Qin Minghui naturally came along to help. However, she was still suffering from the pain of illness, and often she couldn't concentrate, and she couldn't be too tired, so 01 took on most of the transformation tasks by himself, and only put her in front of him to let her watch the process and occasionally give some suggestions.

Before 01's upgrade was finished, Qin Minghui leaned back in her chair, clutching the armrest tightly and gasping in pain. 01 immediately stopped working and went to get her medicine.

It was a small bottle, finger-high, that could be finished in one gulp. But the taste was truly inhumane, fishy, bitter, and strong, and the dark red color also reminded people of something not so good.

Qin Minghui has been here for a few days and has drunk many bottles of this medicine. This medicine can suppress her disease and even has a pain-relieving effect, but it cannot cure it.

Her condition was always up and down. She would feel much better for a period of time after taking the medicine, but once the effect of the medicine wore off, the rapid decline of her body would begin again.

This medicine is very precious. Qin Minghui remembered that Grandma Hui once said so. She was curious about how this medicine was made, but when she asked, Grandma Hui told her not to think too much.

Isn't it easier for people to overthink when you put it that way

Qin Minghui, who had countless guesses in her mind, felt a sense of pressure every time she saw this small medicine bottle.

"Miss, don't you want to take your medicine?" 01 asked, squatting beside her.

Qin Minghui shook her head, drank it in one gulp, and waited quietly for the discomfort to pass. 01 squatted beside her, stretched out his hand to lift up the hair covering her cheek, and his fingertips touched the sweat on her forehead.

After moving, Qin Minghui fell forward with weakness all over her body. 01 took her in his arms and gently soothed her pain. He was still wearing that funny and handsome dog head. He gently put his arm around the little lady's shoulders and said, "Little lady, the temperature of the human body can be simulated, the heartbeat can be simulated, the tactile perception can be simulated... Except for the different materials that make up a body, the manufactured mechanical body is no different from the human body, right?"

Qin Minghui thought he was talking about the new body that was being made. She rested her forehead on his shoulder and hummed softly, "You don't have to pursue it. Your body is much better than mine. If it breaks, you can replace it. You don't have to worry about contracting schistosomiasis."

"As long as the young lady likes it... What kind of appearance does the young lady like?"

“… I don’t want your current type.”

"What about the female appearance? What type do you like? Is it the way you are now, or something else?"

Qin Minghui's expression became subtle, and it was unclear whether she was expecting something or not. She raised her head and looked at him: "Do you want to use a female appearance?"

Come to think of it, machines really do seem to have no gender.

01 said: "Make a few more bodies, maybe they will be useful in the future."

Qin Minghui coughed and said, "Just do what you like. You don't have to study my preferences all the time."

On this point, 01 was very insistent: "No, the young lady must like it."

Two days later, 01 changed into his own improved new body, a perfect male body, and stood there to show Qin Minghui his new functions. Inevitably, he showed his face.

Qin Minghui had a blank expression, put his hands on his chest, and sighed slowly. 01 understood and put on the dog mask. Qin Minghui really didn't understand why 01 would rather wear a mask to cover his face than change his face.

01 said: "Didn't you notice, young lady? I did change my face."

Qin Minghui: "Ah? Really? Has it been changed?"

01 said: "After changing it, Miss still had the same reaction, so it may be because Miss also likes this face, so she can't accept it."

Qin Minghui, Qin Minghui covered her face silently.

Before the new function was fully demonstrated, Qin Minghui fell ill again. 01 did not go to the medicine box to get medicine, but walked up to her, took off his gloves, stretched out a finger and said, "Miss, please drink."

Qin Minghui: “…?”

01 said, "Look, young lady."

Part of his finger became transparent, revealing the dark red liquid inside, and a straw extended from the fingertip.

"I store the liquid medicine in my hand. One bottle of medicine can be stored in one finger. This way it is more convenient and safer to carry with me. I can let the young lady drink the medicine as quickly as possible without having to go to get the medicine temporarily."

He seemed very satisfied with this design, but Qin Minghui watched his fingers not move, and even forgot the pain of the attack for a moment.

"What's wrong? Don't worry, young lady. This has been strictly disinfected and is completely safe to eat." 01 assured.

This, this is not a matter of disinfection at all! She was asked to bite 01's finger while drinking medicine. Just think about it, is this a good scene? ! It's simply a play of fun!

And it reminded people of vampires. Qin Minghui's mind was full of indescribable thoughts, and she felt ashamed to face the pure robot 01, so she gritted her teeth and drank the medicine under his urging.

"I can't accept this. Next time, 01 will try putting the medicine in your neck?" 01 said.

Qin Minghui: "What neck???"

01 explained: "It's like this. Didn't the young lady tell 01 the story of vampires before? I thought it could be used as a reference, so I set it up like this. This way of drinking medicine is more interesting, and perhaps it can alleviate the pain of the young lady drinking the medicine."

Qin Minghui: “…” It turns out that 01 didn’t not understand, but understood too well.

Holding his forehead, Qin Minghui said weakly: "01, please, don't play with me."

"01's not, 01 didn't," 01 said, "Young lady you can play with me."

01? What are you talking about?! Qin Minghui was shocked.

It turns out that it is the human mind that is dirty. 01 said he was playing, but he just installed a game program in this new body.

"Miss, please have a look." 01 pulled open the virtual screen. "This is a game I found in the main system database. I organized it in a way that you might be interested in. You can play it when you have time."

"01 has also downloaded videos from the main system database, as well as many literary works, which the young lady can use to kill time." 01 explained, his eyes flickering, and he projected a large-screen movie directly opposite.

Qin Minghui felt very ashamed: "I'm sorry, 01, I just thought..."

Before she could finish her words, she saw the movie screen projected by 01, and the ashamed expression on her face froze again. The movie projected by 01 was the kind of adult content that needed to be censored.

01. Why, every time when I think you don’t understand anything, you give me a hint to make me realize my mistakes

Qin Minghui listened to the sound that was beginning to get worse and covered her forehead again: "01, turn it off, turn it off quickly."

01 was still reasoning with her: "Miss, don't feel embarrassed. Just like holding hands, hugging, and kissing, this is a normal human need. It is information stored in the medical section. 01 thinks that Miss should also need it..."

Qin Minghui pressed down his dog-head mask and muted it manually. After a while, 01's voice hesitantly sounded from his abdomen: "Miss, if you don't want to listen, 01 won't say it."

Qin Minghui: “… Ventriloquism?” 01How many new features have you added that I don’t know about

01 said: "This is a backup vocal system prepared to prevent the vocal system from being damaged and unable to speak. According to the data, some humans in the past mastered the ability of 'ventriloquism', so this simulation was carried out. Do you find it interesting, young lady?"

The young lady felt that she could not withstand 01's various tricks.

When Grandma Hui came over, she saw 01 sitting on a small stool outside the door, writing with a pen and paper in beautiful, neat handwriting.

"What are you doing? Practicing calligraphy?" Grandma Hui asked 01 curiously.

01 replied: "No, the young lady asked me to write a report about the functions I loaded into this body, why I have such functions, and the necessity of explaining them."

Grandma Hui snorted, "It's such a simple thing, you can just generate it directly, it won't take even three minutes."

01 replied: "Miss asked me to handwrite it and hand it in like this. Miss asked me to delete a lot of unnecessary features, so I am polishing it and integrating and hiding some features."

Grandma Hui: “…Hehe.”

She stepped into the house, placed the freshly made medicine on the table and said, "Tomorrow's medicine."

Qin Minghui sat up from the bed and took a look. She found that there were only two tubes. She asked, "Grandma Hui, are there not many of these medicines left? I have already drunk a lot since I came here. Do you have enough for yourselves?"

Grandma Hui: "It's not something you should worry about."

She looked like she didn't want to say more, but the wrinkles between her brows were deeper than yesterday. After she left, Qin Minghui walked to the door and sat next to 01.

"01, I want to see how this medicine is made."

"Okay, when it's dark and windy at night, 01 will take the young lady to sneak into the pharmaceutical building." 01 kept writing and said without hesitation.

Qin Minghui held her chin in her hands and said, "01, if we have to wait until night to go, wouldn't it be like doing something bad? So let's go during the day."

01 nodded happily: "Young lady, what you said is right. It makes sense. As long as we sneak in openly in broad daylight, we are not doing anything bad."

Qin Minghui: “Ahem.”

At noon, most of the grandparents here were taking a nap, and Qin Minghui and 01 were ready to set off.

The building that Grandma Hui used to make medicine was at the edge, very large, and had a high level of security system. But the reliable 01 said: "Don't worry, young lady, I have upgraded it and can block these surveillance and hack into this system. Even if young lady kills people or burns in it, there will be no problem."

As expected, the two of them successfully sneaked into the pharmaceutical department. In this building, huge fixed racks flashed cold light all over the dome. Many large tables were connected to various instruments, many of which were empty. Only one table had a bloodworm more than ten meters tall fixed on it.

"Sure enough." Qin Minghui was not surprised to see the bloodworm. She had guessed this possibility before.

Walking to the instrument, Qin Minghui looked carefully at the fixed bloodworm and found that its chest and abdomen were connected to a dark red tube. 01 suddenly patted her shoulder at this time.

"What's wrong 01?"

01 gently turned her head and made her look at the partitioned corner of the medicine table.

There, Grandma Hui was looking at them with an expressionless face.

What should I say to ease the awkward atmosphere at this time? Qin Minghui thought.

Grandma Hui spoke before her, "I knew you would come over secretly to see it."

"Since you've seen it all, I won't hide it from you. The medicine is indeed made from bloodworms. As you can see, this is the last bloodworm here that has not been used up. In other words, the material for the medicine is almost used up."

"Bloodworms usually appear in groups, so it is very difficult to catch a single bloodworm. We caught this one two years ago."

Grandma Hui slowly walked to Qin Minghui's side, with her hands behind her back: "In a few days, we will have to consider leaving here to catch new bloodworms."

Qin Minghui: "Is that so? I'll go."

Grandma Hui snorted coldly: "If you get close to that bloodworm nest again, you will be doomed. What, do you look down on us old people? We have powerful weapons too!"

"But if you get close, you will inevitably inhale those..." Qin Minghui couldn't let a group of elderly people go through so much trouble to help her go deep into the insect hole to get the medicine.

01 took the initiative and said, "Let me catch some new bloodworms."

Grandma Hui, who had just refused, changed her tone and agreed directly: "Okay, go ahead, go early, don't delay."

01 was driven away by Grandma Hui and left here with his huge mechanical body. His main body moved away, and the human body that remained beside Qin Minghui soon lost the ability to move because there was no net. If the distance was too far, 01 would not be able to control two bodies at the same time, so 01's human body lay on the bed "sleeping".

"I'll be right back, young lady."

"Okay, don't worry. Don't worry about me. Just be careful outside, okay?"

Not long after Qin Minghui finished her instructions, the lights in the room suddenly dimmed and turned into a cold blue, and 01 had no signal at all. She was just wondering when Grandma Hui quickly entered the room, took her hand and said, "Minghui, come with me."

"What's wrong? Where are you going?" Qin Minghui followed her out and saw that all the buildings were shrouded in a blue network. The various types of robots that used to be roaming around were now stopped in place and in a shut down state.

"We finally managed to block your 01 because we want to tell you something." Grandma Hui sighed, "Let's go, I'll take you to see our main system first."
