Extra 6: The Robot's Mission

001 tried hard to adapt to the daily life without its owner, and waited day after day for Chuyun's college entrance examination. This was a real watershed in life. Three years later, the day it had been looking forward to the most had arrived.

Ms. Wang promised that it could go to college with its owner and rented a house for them so that it could take better care of its owner.

001I like college.

On the day of the college entrance examination, Chu Yun was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, and 001 comforted him.

"Based on the master's past academic performance, there's an 80% chance that he'll be accepted into any university nationwide. He might even have a chance of being accepted into a university on Sky Blue Star. The worst-case scenario is that he'll just go to university in Qing City."

Chu Yun understood that he had never slacked off in his studies over the years, so his grades should not be bad, but he was just nervous.

"001, I'm really looking forward to college life. I heard there are a lot of clubs. I haven't decided on a major yet, and I wonder if it will be as busy once I start college."

Chu Yun was rambling on and on, and 001, who was lying straight beside him, was listening quietly. He knew that his master didn't need his answer.

After a while, Chu Yun fell asleep. 001 covered him with a blanket and went to the study.

Its work is not yet finished. With the development of the Internet, it knows a lot of things. Today, a single owner asked it to hack into posts published by a small company and was rewarded handsomely.

001 In the past two years, I have taken many such orders on the Internet to make money, which is convenient and fast.

The cost of college for human children is high, and 001 has never thought about making money. It was only after his father was laid off by the company and returned home that 001 realized how difficult life would be without money. His owner hadn't bought him new clothes for a long time.

After receiving a few orders, he saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning. He closed the computer and prepared to make breakfast. Today was the day of the college entrance examination, so he had to take it seriously.

Chu Yun woke up early and when she opened the bedroom door, she was greeted by a strong and rich aroma. The table was filled with breakfast: steamed dumplings, noodles, toast, ramen, spicy soup...

"What time do you get up to cook? This is too much."

001 never buys food outside, so it has to cook all of this by itself.

"As long as the master likes it."

001 knew that it would be scolded if it said it didn't rest, so it cleverly didn't answer.

Chu's father and mother also woke up and were shocked when they saw the food on the table. They all knew that 001 doted on Chu Yun, so they didn't say anything.

After a big meal, 001 rode the tricycle that had been well-preserved for so many years and was still in good condition, to take Chuyun to the examination room.

Two days later, Chu Yun was completely liberated.

001 was very happy because the rest of his life belonged to him and he had finally made it through all the years.

Even happier things were yet to come. Their mother allowed them to travel and sponsored a considerable amount of funds.

"Master, I am so happy."

Chu Yun smiled at 001's childish appearance. He has grown into a handsome young man, and his appearance is even more outstanding than when he was a child. He is so attractive that he will be invited by scouts whenever he goes out.

"Where are we going this time?"

Chuyun has already grown up and can take 001 to travel all over the world at will.

"As long as I'm with my master, I can go anywhere."

Chu Yun's heart moved when he heard this. Even though he knew that 001 said this seriously without any other emotion, he still blushed a little.

Chu Yun has a secret, he seems to have fallen in love with 001.

For all these years, Chu Yun has never been moved, let alone in a relationship. The only person around him is the clingy 001.

Is it normal to fall in love with your own robot? But the weight of 001 in his heart has long exceeded the human definition of a robot.

001 doesn't understand what love is. It only knows that it is its master and it must be loyal to its master, just like a puppy.

Chu Yun hid this vague thought deep in his heart.

"A twin room."

Chu Yun handed his ID card to the hotel front desk. 001 beside him turned around with a blank expression, but his tone was a little hurried.

"Master, why does he want a twin room? Did 001 make you angry?"

001's appearance is no different from that of a human. When the receptionist heard this, her eyes widened, her eyes moving back and forth between the two of them, and then she suddenly lowered her head.

Chu Yun: ...I saw you laughing secretly.

001 tried hard to figure out if he had done anything wrong. Did his owner catch him working late at night? Did he accidentally break his Lego? Or was his breakfast too bland?

"Nothing, I just felt like having my own bed."

Such an explanation is worse than no explanation at all. 001 used his own thinking to understand the meaning of this sentence, and it was rejected.

"good."

001, who was happy in the morning, looked like he was about to die at night. He lay in bed motionless and silent.

Chu Yun felt distressed, but this was the only way he could use to suppress his thoughts on 001. To him, 001 was a family member and a friend, an irreplaceable existence, and he couldn't make the same mistake again.

Once inappropriate emotions are mixed in, the friendship will gradually fade away.

This is the experience he gained from observing the love lives of his classmates over the years.

Chu Yun glanced at 001 on the bed next to him, then turned off the lights and went to sleep. This was the first time that 001 had been upset with him and refused to speak.

In the middle of the night, Chu Yun felt that he could not breathe due to the crowd. He opened his eyes and saw that 001 had run to his bed at some point and was hugging him tightly as usual.

Chu Yun stretched his head out from 001's arms to take a breath. 001 was becoming more and more like a human being, and it could even sleep.

In the night, Chu Yun looked at 001. He looked no different from when he was a child, except that his expression was more varied and he even frowned.

He leaned against 001's chest again, his mind was in turmoil and he could hardly sleep. Then he discovered something magical.

001 actually has a heartbeat?

Chu Yun couldn't believe it and continued to stick close to it. The beating sound was very slow and there was almost no ups and downs, but it was late at night and everyone was asleep, so Chu Yun could still hear it. It was definitely a heartbeat.

Will robots have hearts? Artificial hearts?

001 never told him.

Chu Yun was confused and couldn't sleep at all. He secretly reached for the phone next to him and opened the search.

——"What kind of robot has a heart?"

——"Are robots built with hearts?"

——"Is the robot's heart fake?"

The answers given by Skynet search are all negative.

Chu Yun was a little horrified. 001 might be special. Suppressing his doubts, he fell asleep with an inexplicable expectation in his heart.

Of course he couldn't get up the next day. 001 never woke him up on holidays, so Chu Yun slept until noon, and the original hot spring plan was moved to the evening.

"Master, you are awake. I have prepared dinner on the table."

The tone was cold, and 001 was still in a bad mood, as if it was not the one who sneaked into the bed in the middle of the night.

"Thank you, 001."

001 stood there, watching Chu Yun eat. No one could stand that kind of staring look, so Chu Yun had to say something.

"that……"

As soon as Chu Yun opened his mouth, 001 turned his face away, but his ears perked up, waiting for Chu Yun to coax him.

"Do you feel like your body is... a little different?"

001 immediately looked at Chu Yun again, this time with accusations and grievances in his eyes.

"001 is not sick and is in very good health. He gets regular checkups."

It felt depressed somewhere, so it searched on the Internet yesterday to find out why its owner was no longer close to it.

The answers he found were all jumbled, all asking him to beg for a whip, kneel down, or buy a whip. 001 couldn't understand it, so he kept asking and searching.

"Master, do you hate me? Why don't you sleep in the same bed with me?"

"How can I become close to my master?"

“How can a robot win the owner’s favor again?”

"I'm angry. He hasn't been coaxing me. Why?"

001 saw a normal answer among the dazzling array of answers, but it made 001 feel like he was falling into an icy cave.

——"He's tired of you, he's fed up with you, let's part ways amicably."
