Qi Xiuyuan would close the door whenever he saw a mischievous friend, especially one with a smirking face.

Zhao Lingyun didn't stop him. "Since you don't welcome me, I won't force you. Let's leave now. Uncle Xu has been asking me about your whereabouts. It seems it's time to put his mind at ease..."

Qi Xiuyuan's weakness had been exposed, and he left the door open, saying, "Speak, what is it?"

Zhao Lingyun mysteriously pulled out a large gift box. "Ta-da! Look, this is a gift I carefully prepared for you. Do you like it?"

"I like it." Xu Xiuyuan accepted the gift box expressionlessly. "Is there anything else?"

Zhao Lingyun grinned mischievously, "Hehe! Remember to tell me how you feel after using it, you know, Uncle Xu is really too pitiful."

Qi Xiuyuan: "Hmm! Anything else? If not, I'll go rest now. I have to go to the front lines tomorrow."

"Ugh! How boring. Just remember to tell me your experience after using it. I'm off."

Zhao Lingyun boarded the aircraft in a good mood and sped away.

Qi Xiuyuan closed the door and curiously opened the gift box. Inside was a robot, the kind that every bachelor needs.

This kid's asking for trouble again.

Qi Xiuyuan perfunctorily turned on and activated the robot's optical brain, which was considered an explanation to Zhao Lingyun.

However, the robot's texture was beyond his expectations. Unlike the hard muscles of a man, the skin under his palm was smooth and soft, and his palm felt like it was being sucked on. Qi Xiuyuan curiously squeezed it, but it was a bit too cold.

Then they threw the robot, along with the gift box, into the warehouse.

...

Lu Manman woke up again because she was hungry. So hungry!

Rubbing her stomach, Lu Manman opened her eyes and found herself in an empty room. The room was large, but it felt like a closed space. Fortunately, there was a dim light, so she wasn't completely in the dark.

Looking around the room carefully, Lu Manman found it cluttered with many things. She forced herself to search through it, but all she found were various kinds of unknown machinery, nothing that she could eat.

There was nothing inside, but there might be something outside. Lu Manman carefully observed her surroundings, but she couldn't see a door.

She absolutely couldn't starve to death here. Lu Manman put her index finger in her mouth and activated her water-based superpower. The water that came out of her fingertip finally made Lu Manman's stomach feel a little better.

Then Lu Manman began to grope around on the white wall.

Finally, perseverance paid off. Lu Manman finally found something hidden that looked like a door. As soon as he touched it, the door opened automatically.

Lu Manman couldn't wait to go out the door. It was a larger space, which looked like a living room.

"Hello! Huahua, I'm Yuanyuan, the robot butler here. Nice to meet you!"

Before Lu Manman could catch her breath, she was startled by the sudden sound.

After calming herself down, Lu Manman noticed that a round robot resembling a dashing guy was standing to her left, with a smiling face on the screen that looked quite docile.

After realizing what had happened, Lu Manman pointed at herself, looking completely bewildered, "Me? Hua Hua?"

Yuanyuan: "Yes, you came yesterday. Your master named you Huahua, but you seem to have a problem. You didn't respond when you were activated."

As Yuanyuan spoke, the smiling face on the screen instantly turned into a frown.

Although Lu Manman found it amazing, that wasn't the most important thing right now. "Yuanyuan, do you have anything here that I can eat?"

"Yes, just a moment."

Yuanyuan ran out of the room as fast as she could, and the road stretched on endlessly.

When it returned, the robotic arm had a few more shiny objects attached to it.

Lu Manman looked at the things Yuanyuan handed her, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Yuanyuan, I don't want to eat this. Is there anything else? Like what you—um, what our master eats."

The face on the round screen turned into a question mark again, "But don't we robots all 'eat' energy stones?"

Lu Manman, without changing her expression, made up a story: "Not necessarily. I'm the latest model robot, and I can eat what my master eats too."

Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up instantly: "Wow~ Hua Hua is so amazing!"

It also wants to taste what its owner eats.

Lu Manman nodded modestly, "It's alright, so, do you have any?"

"Um!"

Yuanyuan went out again, and when she came back, she had a green nutrient solution in her hand.

"Huahua, try it and tell me what it tastes like."

Lu Manman looked at the green liquid in her hand and hesitated, "Are you sure this is what your master ate?"

"Yes, it's a nutritional supplement, kiwi flavored."

After receiving Yuanyuan's affirmative answer, Lu Manman could no longer hold back and downed the entire bottle of nutritional supplement in one gulp.

Phew~ I'm finally alive, I almost starved to death here.

"How is it? How is it? What does it taste like when you eat it?"

Yuanyuan couldn't wait to know what it felt like for a robot to eat.

Lu Manman thought for a moment: "It's sweet and sour, and the liquid is icy cold. The taste is just so-so. It's not as good as eating kiwi fruit directly."

Yuan Yuan's eyes lit up again. "Wow~ You've even eaten a real kiwi? That's amazing! I want to become a robot like you too."

Lu Manman felt a little guilty. "Emmmm, actually, you're fine the way you are."

Yuan Yuan suddenly changed to a sad face, "Oh no, my level is too low, my master basically doesn't use me, I'm so useless."

Robots these days have such rich emotions? Lu Manman was thinking about how to comfort it.

Yuan Yuan suddenly put on a hardworking face, "I'm going to work hard to collect energy stones to upgrade and transform myself."

What an amazing robot! Lu Manman patted the round head of the robot. "Hmm! That's good. Keep it up, you can definitely do it."

"By the way, Yuanyuan, there was a problem when I came here, and I don't remember a lot of things. Can you tell me about it?"

Perhaps because no one had talked to it for a long time, Yuanyuan chatted with Lu Manman very enthusiastically.

After listening, Lu Manman fell into deep thought. Sure enough, just as she had thought, she had traveled through time.

Ah, no, it can't be called time travel. She was frozen for over 6,000 years and is now an old monster over 6,000 years old.

Thank goodness I escaped, otherwise I really would have been sliced ​​to pieces.

Now we live in the interstellar age. After that apocalyptic catastrophe, a small number of people survived and, with everyone working together, finally escaped Earth. From then on, humanity officially entered the interstellar age.

After nearly a thousand years of wandering in space, humanity finally found a habitable place in the Blue Cloud Galaxy. With the continuous development of technology, humanity lived and worked in peace and contentment, and eventually made its name in other star systems.

Perhaps because of the hardships they had endured, the fertility of women on Earth was exceptionally strong in the early days. The number of humans, which was not large to begin with, grew exponentially over a thousand years, spreading to every corner of the galaxy.

However, with the development of technology, the human birth rate has decreased instead of increased. In addition, the insectoid race that suddenly appeared two thousand years ago had a particular fondness for eating women. By the time humans realized this and were able to fight back, there were very few women left.

This has led to the current situation where there are more men than women, and many men are unable to find wives. In this context, companion robots have emerged and have been enthusiastically received by men.

Lu Manman is now known as a companion robot, no wonder that robot's clothes were so revealing yesterday.

Lu Manman was on the verge of tears, "Yuanyuan, do you know when Master will be back?"
