Chapter 307: My Robot is So Smart
Chapter 307: My Robot is So Smart
Junan Residential District.
Robot Zero-One sat on the sofa, a plate in her hand, filled with various batteries. She held a battery and slowly placed it into her mouth.
Not far away, Xie Xinsu stared at Zero-One, her eyes wide open. This master and servant duo are too abnormal! If the master has a mental illness, it's one thing, but this servant... doesn't act like a proper robot."
At this moment, Zero-One, holding a battery, turned her attention to Xie Xinsu: "Are you curious... why I eat batteries?"
Xie Xinsu sat on the sofa, her eyes wide with shock.
She was going to report that Zero-One had issues!
Where did this robot get the idea that it was okay to eat batteries?
Zero-One paid no heed to Xie Xinsu and spoke in a somewhat mature female voice: "In movies, these robots eat batteries. I wanted to try it and see what it tastes like."
Upon hearing this reply, Xie Xinsu's heart confirmed that this robot was definitely problematic.
Unfortunately, she was currently a cat, or else she would have definitely exposed this black-hearted robot to her master!
Zero-One stopped looking at Xie Xinsu and continued eating batteries.
Suddenly, a flash of light passed through her eyes.
A smile curved on her lips: "You're quite bold, aren't you? You dare to invade my master's network?"
Just now, she had sensed someone infiltrating Qi Yuan's phone.
The current Zero-One possessed powerful learning abilities and was skilled in hacking techniques.
Moreover, her thoughts were more powerful, and her computational abilities far surpassed ordinary people.
As soon as she discovered the intruder's actions, she immediately blocked and traced their steps.
After about a dozen breaths, a mocking expression flashed in Zero-One's eyes.
"You're quite bold," she said.
She continued eating batteries, watching the movie playing on the television.
Xie Xinsu, on the other hand, had hidden under the sofa and started meditating.
After all, whenever she meditated on the sofa, the robot would stare at her with a smile, making her feel very uncomfortable, as if she were a monkey.
"Once I regain my strength and become a Core Essence Master, I'll make this robot pay!" Xie Xinsu had ambitions.
She would definitely repay the humiliation she felt now a hundredfold in the future.
Time passed quickly, and the sound of the door opening echoed.
Zero-One calmly stood up, put away the batteries and plate, walked to the door, and greeted Qi Yuan.
At this moment, Qi Yuan returned to the house, feeling delighted.
Today, he had earned a substantial amount and even picked up a broken sword.
It could be said that it was a very successful day.
"Master, you're back!" Zero-One handed Qi Yuan a cup of tea.
She then reported on her work: "Today, Zero-One filmed three videos, replied to seventeen private messages, and commented on twenty-three posts.
Yesterday, we gained 1,300 followers, earning 702 yuan.
Today, the cat knocked over a cup at home, losing 782 strands of fur, causing cat hair to fly around the house. In the end, Zero-One cleaned up the mess, thoroughly dealing with all the cat hair."
Zero-One diligently reported on her work for the day.
"Meow!"
Xie Xinsu, meditating under the sofa, suddenly jumped out, meowing incessantly.
This robot... was not human at all!
So scheming!
Why was it that the robot could do as it pleased, while she, who had worked hard to cooperate in filming videos, was now the one causing trouble?
She wanted to say that the robot had been eating batteries, watching TV, and lazing around all day, never doing any work.
Unfortunately, in her current state as a cat, she was too weak and couldn't express these thoughts.
At This Moment:
Qi Yuan, with interest, watched Xie Xinsu: "It's shedding so much fur, will it go bald?"
Robot Zero-One smiled and replied: "It will go bald, becoming a hairless cat?"
"It's a hairless cat?" Qi Yuan pondered.
"???" Xie Xinsu heard this and immediately had a bad feeling.
She quickly scurried back under the sofa.
She didn't want to become a hairless cat.
That would be too embarrassing.
Seeing the cat hide, Qi Yuan didn't pursue the topic further.
"How's the arrangement for Yaji and his sister?" Qi Yuan asked.
Yaji and his sister had followed Qi Yuan to the Junan Residential Area.
The two were settled in the "warehouse" provided by Kan Huan.
Today, Robot Zero-One was in charge of accommodating them.
"The two of them are settled, and their temporary residence permits have been processed. The rest of their identity information is being handled through official channels," Zero-One added.
It continued to play the role of a competent assistant.
"Mhm." Qi Yuan nodded, "Don't let them get lost."
The current Qi Yuan was busy with the Martial Arts Tournament, and Yaji's matters could be discussed later.
"Okay." Robot Zero-One agreed and then said, "Master, there was an attempt to invade your phone today, but I intercepted it.
This is the hacker's identity, their background, and the mastermind behind it.
The information has been packaged and is ready to be sent to you."
Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression changed drastically. "Peeping at my phone, this person has no conscience at all! It's utterly shameless!"
Indeed, Qi Yuan never used his phone for any peculiar activities.
One could say that his reputation was spotless.
However, allowing others to see his phone was out of the question! Even in his previous life, just before his transmigration, Qi Yuan smashed his phone and threw it into the ancient well in his house.
For others to sneak a peek at his phone? To force their way into seeing it? That would be more unbearable than being raped!
"Good, so you dare to be so shameless. Send me their information! Also, check their phones for any secret or unspeakable things, and expose them on the internet. Let them experience the feeling of social death!"
Qi Yuan was genuinely furious.
Some people were just too despicable.
Daring to use their hacking skills to pry into others' privacy, they had crossed the line.
"Yes, sir. I'll take care of this," Zero-One said, and proceeded to send the packaged information to Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan glanced at the data and let out a cold huff. "Don't think that just because we're separated by the internet, I can't do anything to you!
Zero-One, send a coffin to each of their home addresses.
Once I finish dealing with the current matters, I'll go settle the score with them!"
Qi Yuan always made a clear distinction between gratitude and grudges.
The conflict between Wugu Kingdom and Yue Lang Kingdom, no matter how chaotic, had nothing to do with him.
But if someone dared to engage in illegal activities under his nose, they'd be in for a surprise.
Qi Yuan would transform into a reporting expert, and if that didn't work, he'd become the judge himself and take matters into his own hands.
On his way back to Qin Yuan Kingdom, the Qin Yuan Kingdom's security didn't give him any trouble, but... the border control of Yue Lang Kingdom was a different story, as they made things difficult and demanded exorbitant bribes.
At that time, Qi Yuan could only teach them a lesson in being just and fair.
After giving his instructions, Qi Yuan continued, "I need to make a trip to Tian Yue City today.
It should only take three to four days. During this time, help me prepare and purchase some items.
My... wife will probably be coming down soon."
As he spoke, a smile appeared in Qi Yuan's eyes.
This time, after his journey to Wugu Kingdom, his cultivation had progressed steadily, and he was just a step away from achieving the Essence Core stage.
With the addition of the Broken Sword and other materials, he had enough to break through to the ordinary Essence Core stage.
Becoming an Essence Core cultivator was just a matter of this week.
Once he reached the Essence Core stage, he could summon the projection of the Stellar Essence Core.
With his current achievements, he could directly call Ning Tou down and enjoy the leisurely game together.
For Qi Yuan, the Arching Star was different from the games he used to play.
His previous games had dark and profound backgrounds.
This game, however, was a casual daily life simulation.
It was perfect for him and Ning Tou to play together.
Unfortunately, Jin Li couldn't come.
The master, his wife, had disappeared without a trace, unable to join them in the game.
"Wife?" Zero-One's brain froze for a moment, as if it didn't quite understand Qi Yuan's words.
When did the master get a wife?
It must be a mistake in the latest version of the game!
"Yes, my wife. She lives under the sun, and when the time comes... she'll descend.
I wonder if she'll be used to our place... I mean, is our house too small? Too quiet? Too cold?"
After all, the Stellar Essence Core was quite hot.
Ning Tou had been there for so long that she was probably used to it.
But suddenly coming here... would she adapt?
Qi Yuan had a high EQ and was a warm-hearted man. The gift he gave Wang Shiqiao was so touching that it left her speechless.
Clearly, his level was very high.
After all, Wang Shiqiao had no shortage of admirers, and she had seen all kinds of men and probably received all sorts of gifts.
The gift Qi Yuan gave her was the kind that went straight to the heart, and it was likely the first time she had received something like this.
Zero-One paused for a moment, as if processing Qi Yuan's words.
Under the sofa, Xie Xinsu couldn't help but burst into laughter, meowing loudly.
Living under the sun? That was quite a bold claim!
Even a Divine Infant True Lord wouldn't dare to say they lived under the sun.
To survive under the sun, one would need to be at least at the Purple Mansion stage, and according to legends, only the Yin Spirit could ascend.
The master's wife was a mythical creature? He was quite imaginative.
Now she understood that Qi Yuan's mental illness was real, not fake.
However, no one paid attention to Xie Xinsu's laughter, as she was merely a cat at this moment.
Who would care about a cat's feelings?
After finishing his instructions, Qi Yuan said, "I'll be leaving with Yang Shan soon. Help me keep an eye on the house and make sure no one steals my things."
"Yes, sir!" Zero-One was very conscientious.
As the sun began to set, Qi Yuan left the room and knocked on Yang Shan's door.
The one who opened the door was a petite young girl.
The girl, named Wang Zhiqi, appeared to be only eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a grayish-blue pleated skirt, exuding youthful vibrancy.
"Big brother Qi... You're here!" Wang Zhiqi's face lit up with a crescent-shaped smile.
From inside the house, Yang Shan's voice called out, "Come in, call me Uncle Qi!"
Wang Zhiqi, slightly annoyed, replied, "Dad, you're getting old, but Big Brother Qi is still young!"
Wang Zhiqi is Yang Shan's daughter, and the daughter of his deceased comrade.
When Wang Zhiqi was not yet a year old, her father had fallen in battle, and the young Yang Shan became her nominal father.
Now during summer vacation, she came to stay with Yang Shan for a while and attend supplementary classes.
Qi Yuan smiled and said, "Yes, I'm still young."
Though Qi Yuan had spent countless millennia playing games, in reality, he was youthful.
"Big Brother Qi, while you're away with my dad, what about your cat? Do you want me to take care of it for a few days?" Wang Zhiqi blinked her eyes expectantly.
She had previously seen Zero-One's videos and even followed him.
Since coming here, she discovered that the cat's owner was her dad's good friend, and she was thrilled.
Unfortunately, she never had the chance to visit Qi Yuan's house or pet the cat.
She could only occasionally gaze longingly and listen.
"My robot Zero-One will take care of it," Qi Yuan casually replied.
"But Zero-One is so dumb, how can it take care of a cat?
These days, pets are so delicate, and even a fly can scare them into meowing!" Wang Zhiqi tried to convince Qi Yuan.
During Qi Yuan's trip to Wu Gui Country, Wang Zhiqi had been wanting to enter his house.
She discovered that Qi Yuan's cat was no ordinary feline.
In the videos, the cat cooked, flipped through books, and meditated, seemingly capable of many things.
But Wang Zhiqi had a hunch that the cat was even more impressive than what the videos showed.
It could even... understand human speech.
She shared this discovery with her friends, but no one believed her.
After all, a smart cat was normal, but a human-like robot was ridiculous.
So, she thought of using this opportunity to bring Qi Yuan's cat home and show it to her friends and classmates.
She wasn't lying.
Of course, she also wanted to see Qi Yuan's cat and uncover its secrets.
"Zero-One is very smart, it's not an ordinary robot... Don't worry, it'll be fine," Qi Yuan politely declined Wang Zhiqi.
Disappointment flashed across Wang Zhiqi's face.
"Big Brother Qi, can I borrow your key? I'll go feed your cat without any trouble," Wang Zhiqi added, her voice laced with coquetry.
If she were older and had thicker skin, she might have said this while hugging Qi Yuan's arm.
Yang Shan spoke up, "I'm doing you such a big favor, and you won't let my daughter feed your cat?"
Qi Yuan nodded, "Tomorrow at noon, there'll be an hour when Zero-One will open the door for you."
Wang Zhiqi was overjoyed to hear this.
"Thank you, Big Brother Qi!"
"Shouldn't you be thanking me?" Yang Shan said, slightly annoyed.
Soon, after Yang Shan finished packing, they left Tian Yue City by car with Qi Yuan and a small amount of luggage.
Evening had fallen, but the road was brightly lit.
In the sky, drones and flying vehicles could be seen passing by.
Usually, commoners traveled by car, while the nobility used flying vehicles.
The sky and the ground seemed like two separate worlds.
In the car, Yang Shan rested with his eyes closed, occasionally speaking, "The place we're going to is a branch of the Martial Alliance.
Any Martial Arts Limit warrior who receives a recommendation from a Purple Gold Member of the Martial Alliance can directly participate in the national competition of the Martial Arts Tournament."
Yang Shan was an exceptional Martial Arts Limit warrior and a core figure in the martial arts community.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be involved in research on breaking the Martial Arts Limit.
As a result, he was the most official institution among martial artists, a Purple Gold Member of the Martial Alliance, with a status comparable to an elder.
"The test is simple... It's just a fight.
As long as you can defeat the examiner, you can participate.
I don't know who the examiner is, but... they're probably not as strong as you," Yang Shan said casually.
Qi Yuan, being a Martial Arts Limit warrior, had formidable strength.
Such a test was a minor issue for him.
"Sure, after I win the Martial Arts Tournament, I'll treat you to beef noodles."
