It was morning when Ruan Shiqing and his party arrived in Sikkim. After placing their luggage in the hotel room, they saw that it was still early, so they took a nap with the kids.
When he woke up in the afternoon, he felt full of energy and took the cubs out to pack their luggage.
This time they came to Sikkim, they traveled light and brought almost nothing, so they needed to buy everything separately.
After asking the front desk about the location of the large shopping mall, Ruan Shiqing took the kids and set off on the hotel's sightseeing bus.
The sightseeing bus has a retro design and a slow speed, which is perfect for tourists to slowly appreciate the surrounding scenery.
There were only Ruan Shiqing and his group on the sightseeing bus, so the kids had no worries and sat comfortably by the window, looking at the scenery outside with their eyes wide open.
Sikkim is different from star B3024, here is the real sun.
The orange sunset was hanging obliquely in the west, and the afterglow dyed a large area of sunset glow red. In the light blue sky that had not yet darkened, a crescent moon and a few dark stars could be vaguely seen.
Neon lights have begun to flash on the tall buildings on both sides of the road, and various advertisements are scrolling on the holographic screens.
The lights are strange and the crowds are huge.
The sightseeing bus drove forward and finally stopped at the bustling Julian Street.
This is the most prosperous central area of Sikkim, with high-rise buildings standing side by side, crisscrossing streets, and countless steel overpasses across the sky connecting one building to another. The terrain is complex, like a three-dimensional maze.
Ruan Shiqing looked around for a while before leading the cubs into the mall through the main entrance.
The functional divisions of the mall are very clear. Ruan Shiqing followed the guidance of the service robot and went straight to the clothing area, preparing to buy a few sets of clothes for the kids first.
He originally planned to just stroll around, but he didn't expect that the clothing area was even larger than the inner city of b3024. There were all kinds of brands gathered in it, which was dazzling.
By the time we finally finished buying clothes for the cubs, more than three hours had passed.
The accompanying smart shopping cart is filled with loot.
The exhausted kids all sat in the small mobility scooters provided inside the mall.
The little dragon boy spread his belly, looking frightened: "This is more tiring than fighting."
Ruan Jiao, who was sitting cross-legged in the car, shook his tentacles and nodded vigorously in agreement: "Tired!"
The little fox didn't want to talk anymore. His ears drooped and his big tail was lifeless.
Only the little mermaid was in high spirits, his eyes full of admiration as he scanned the beautifully decorated shops. When he heard that the cubs didn't want to go shopping anymore, he looked a little regretful.
There were so many beautiful clothes and accessories here that he couldn't see them all.
Ruan Shiqing was holding Snowball in his arms, with 09 beside him. He looked at the cubs who had calmed down and rubbed the little mermaid's head: "Let's go eat first. We still have time to go shopping later."
The little mermaid nodded sensibly, caught up with the smart shopping cart, and went to count her spoils with a satisfied look on her face.
Ruan Shiqing found a nearby restaurant in the shopping mall.
Unlike other places in the world, Sikkim's food culture is much richer. There are restaurants of all kinds everywhere, from low-end to high-end, from artificial ingredients to the finest fresh ingredients.
It was a rare opportunity to go out for fun, so Ruan Shiqing naturally would not be stingy with his star coins and found a restaurant with a wide view and beautiful environment.
The restaurant is located on a high floor, and the wall facing the street is entirely made of single-sided glass. While dining, guests can overlook most of the central business district and even see the port in the distance.
At this time, the lights in the port were on, and aircraft were lighting up, shuttling back and forth like fireflies in the sky.
While enjoying the beautiful view and waiting for the food to be served, we heard low conversation coming from the booth next door.
"The military port is open. This must be the last batch of recruits leaving."
"I guess it won't be long before we have to recruit soldiers again, right?"
The voices from the other side were not loud, but Ruan Shiqing had good hearing and heard every word.
He looked sideways at the brightly lit port, and vaguely saw many transport ships parked on the large apron. The doors of the transport ships were wide open, and teams of soldiers entered in an orderly manner.
—According to the latest reports, the Empire has officially declared war on the planet Sgarlan.
Emperor Si Yan demanded that Sikaranxing hand over Governor Harman and send him back to Sikkim for trial.
Governor Haman is also the leader of the mermaid tribe.
Sijialan Star is the base camp of the mermaids, and they have long been dissatisfied with the new emperor. Now facing provocation, it is naturally impossible for them to surrender obediently. It is said that Sijialan Star has united with more than a dozen planets in the Melches region to form an anti-empire alliance to resist the attack of the empire.
Although both sides have not yet opened fire on a large scale, they are both making intensive preparations.
The Empire had already temporarily recruited additional troops twice, and even the capital planet Sikkim was no exception. Military ports were busy transporting troops and weapons to the vicinity of Sigaran planet day and night.
In this battle, no one knows who will win or lose.
But no matter which side wins, it is not something that an ordinary person like him can participate in.
Ruan Shiqing withdrew his gaze and called the kids to eat.
Instead, Rong Heng stared at the lights of the harbor for a long time.
According to the latest news from Lucien, Si Yan has already won over the leaders of the four major chaebols.
The experiments in human mechanization seemed to be very effective. Several people in power finally couldn't hold back their ambitions and desires, and reached a consensus with Si Yan.
With the support of the four major financial groups, the empire has a great chance of winning this battle.
But Rong Heng always felt that this war would not end easily.
After dinner, they rested for a while before going downstairs to stroll down the street to digest their food before returning to the hotel.
As soon as I walked onto the street, I saw several teams of robot soldiers marching in unison, and pedestrians gave way.
09 was slightly stunned as he watched the robot army passing by.
These robots look very similar to him, only about 1.2 meters tall, with bodies painted silver-white. Micro ion cannon barrels are installed on their backs, shoulders, arms and legs, and their eyes are in the form of a curved black display screen with two bean-sized red dots flashing on it.
His eyes followed the robot soldier walking away, and the familiar feeling lingered.
I always feel like I've seen these robot soldiers somewhere before.
The light dots on the display kept flashing, and 09 couldn't help but pat his storage area in confusion.
Where have you seen me before
Sporadic fragments flashed through my mind.
"All the soldiers on the Angus died in the line of duty. We finally managed to defend the planet Blaineir. Fortunately, we have accomplished our mission."
"A robot soldier actually disobeyed orders and became the commander."
"Destroy it."
"… "
Fragments of memory flashed by, and 09 stared blankly ahead, his hands still patting the storage area.
Is it memory fragmentation that has not been cleaned up yet
"09? 09?"
Ruan Shiqing called him twice before the little golden robot came back to his senses. He looked at the robot army that had already gone far away and said with a smile: "Those robots are the same model as you."
If 09 had not been destroyed, it would have looked like this.
09 nodded, but for some reason he didn’t like that look very much.
The red dot on the display screen flashed, and he said in a muffled voice: "I still like the appearance that I modified for you, sir."
After Ruan Shiqing's continuous transformation, his current appearance is very different from those robot soldiers of the same model. If you are not a professional familiar with robot models, you will hardly associate him with those robot soldiers.
Looking down at his own golden body and throwing away the messy fragments that had not been cleaned up, 09 could not help but smile happily.
He was much luckier than those robot soldiers.
Ruan Shiqing smiled and pointed to a machine repair and maintenance shop not far away and said, "That shop can give robots oil baths. Do you want to try it?"
Oil bath!!!!
The little golden robot instantly forgot its melancholy, stretched its neck to look, and said excitedly: "I, I want to go!"
On planet B3025, conditions are limited. Although the gentleman also applies lubricating oil for maintenance, it is completely different from an oil bath!
The feeling of having your entire body soaked and washed with lubricant must be wonderful.
Most importantly, your body will become more golden.
The little robot can't wait to try it out.
Seeing that he was so excited, Ruan Shiqing didn't look at anything else and took him directly to the store he liked.
When they arrived, before he could say anything, the little robot spoke in a serious manner: "Hello, I want to take an oil bath."
Although he tried his best to appear calm, there was still excitement in his tone.
The boss looked at this golden robot that seemed particularly lively in surprise, and looked at Ruan Shiqing inquiringly.
Ruan Shiqing nodded: "He arranged the best oil bath." After that, his intelligent computer moved over and prepared to pay.
The price of high-end oil bath is not low, and most people are reluctant to do such expensive maintenance for a household robot. This is a big customer.
The boss asked the technician to take the small robot to the back to prepare the oil bath. He smiled particularly enthusiastically: "Your robot looks much smarter than other robots. It must be expensive, right? You must take good care of it."
Ruan Shiqing thought of the little robot with a wide range of hobbies and multi-talents, and smiled without saying anything.
There is a rest area in the store, where he waited with his cubs.
While I was watching the news, another customer came to the store.
"Has my speeder been serviced yet?"
A dazzling red flashed before his eyes. Ruan Shiqing looked up and found that he had met the tenant living on the same floor again.
The other party seemed to recognize them, but did not strike up a conversation with them. He just nodded in a friendly manner as a greeting.
Not long after, the opponent's landspeeder was driven out by the technician, and he drove away in the landspeeder.
