Xia Chujian: “…”

Is this what she meant by "toxic"?

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched, and he said, "Alright, I'll trust you for now. Be careful next time, and don't show up when there are a lot of people around. Those people are cunning, and my master hasn't left yet. If they have any advanced detection equipment, I'm worried that they will find you."

The mechanical intelligence seemed delighted, and the words on the virtual display suddenly jumped up: "Thank you for your concern, Master! Master, I will never let you down! I live for you and die for you! Even if I have to restart countless times, I will always return to you!"

Xia Chujian got goosebumps after hearing this and quickly said, "Stop! Don't be so creepy! You're a machine intelligence. If you reboot, you'll be nothing. Don't come back!"

She paused, then added, "You are not allowed to read StarNet novels from now on, especially those about rebirth."

For a mechanical intelligence, rebirth novels are truly poisonous.

The mechanical intelligence typed a line of mechanical fonts on the virtual display screen: "As ordered, Master. I absolutely will not read Starnet novels, and I forbid Liu Shun to do so."

Xia Chujian: “…”

What does it mean to always target Liushun?

But she slowly withdrew her hand holding the pistol.

At this moment, the mechanical intelligence typed out another line of mechanical font: "Master, since this is our first meeting today, may I make a small request?"

Xia Chujian: "...Speak."

This guy is indeed an iterative mechanical intelligence.

Xia Chujian was also a little curious about what request it was going to make.

The machine intelligence then said, "I heard that everyone in the host's family has a name. Can I have one too?"

"Isn't your name Shao Siming?"

The mechanical intelligence was silent for a moment, then typed out a few lines: "Shao Siming is the name of the mecha, not the name of my mechanical intelligence."

Xia Chujian also felt a headache: "Is there any difference?"

The mechanical intelligence immediately explained, "Of course there is a difference! Shao Siming is a mecha, and I am its operating system. We are not together, so we should have different names."

Xia Chujian actually thought it made sense.

She thought about it and said, "What do you want to be called? Tell me what you want to call it."

The mechanical intelligence suddenly became cheerful and quickly typed out a few lines: "Can you call me Qitian?"

Xia Chujian was even more puzzled: "Why is it called this name?"

"I am also the master's property. After Liushun, am I ranked seventh?"

"What about… Heaven?"

"I remember reading a book about a god who created mechanical intelligence on the seventh day."

"I am a machine intelligence, so I want to be called Qitian. Remember my creator."

Xia Chujian was curious: "What kind of book is that? Can you show it to me?"

"...I can't find it. I just remember there was such a book."

Xia Chujian couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're quite a loyal machine intelligence. But you have to know that I have a big black dog at home, who ranks after Liu Shun. Do you think you are really ranked seventh, not eighth?"

The mechanical intelligence seemed to ponder. After a few seconds, it wrote on the virtual display: "According to my judgment, the owner's big black dog does not belong to the owner, but to the owner's aunt. Therefore, it does not need to be sorted together."

Xia Chujian raised an eyebrow: "That's pretty impressive, you can even see that? Oh, by the way, how did you see that?"

"Connect with Liushun." The mechanical intelligence explained honestly.

Xia Chujian raised his pistol and shook it. "Don't call me Qitian anymore. It sounds fancy and doesn't fit with my family's style. Just call me Qilu. Qilu, remember your duty, or I'll shoot your chip and you'll be wiped out, unable to iterate again."

"...Lu? Is it the Lu of fame, fortune and wealth?" A line of mechanical fonts quickly appeared on the virtual display screen.

Xia Chujian nodded: "Yeah, don't you like it?"

"I like it! I like it very much!" The words on the virtual display screen seemed to be dancing happily. "I like this word! I like it very much!"

"The "Lu" in "gongming, lilu" refers to salary. Qilu wishes the owner to receive seven salaries for only one job! "Lu" also means blessing and good fortune. Qilu wishes the owner to be blessed with good fortune and luck! Finally, "Lu" is also a strange beast. It looks like a Qilin, but has wings and can fly. It is good at listening to sounds and distinguishing right from wrong."

"This name reflects the master's good expectations for me! I, Qilu, have no regrets in dying with the name bestowed by the master!" The mechanical intelligence that had been honest and unpretentious just now suddenly became greasy.

Xia Chujian had a headache and warned it, "Don't act on your own from now on. Don't come out without being called. Don't watch me when I'm sleeping, bathing, or changing clothes!"

The mechanical intelligence continued writing on the virtual display: "Master, without the display, I can't see anything. When I communicate with you, I hear you speak and then use the virtual display to express my meaning. I can't see your current state."

Xia Chujian was skeptical: "...Really?"

"I am a mechanical intelligence and need to rely on instruments to hear and see. Hearing can be restored through air vibrations. For vision, I need the camera built into the eyepiece display."

Xia Chujian suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

This also coincides with what Su Buyan said today, that mechas are also machines.

As long as it is related to science and technology, no matter how advanced it is, Xia Chujian is not afraid.

Her attitude became perfunctory. "Okay, put away the virtual display. I'm busy today. Let's talk more when we have time."
