Chapter 60 Warm Time He tied his hair for him.

The Empire had considered Nan Qi's concerns when the main brain appeared.

Therefore, they implanted a prohibition in the Mastermind: never harbor any hostile intent towards the Zerg, or else the self-destruct sequence would be activated immediately. The same applies to the intelligence derived from the Mastermind system, so they weren't afraid of the intelligent system developing autonomous consciousness.

Nan Qi nodded to show that he understood.

Melon suggested that if they wanted to know whether Lily's evolution was related to Nan Qi, they could find out by ordering two more robot bugs of the same model as Lily.

Send one of them to the place where the other colorful stone is hidden, and leave the remaining one at Bai's house.

During this period, let Bai hide this small colorful stone and keep it away from Nan Qi.

If after half a month, the two robot insects have not changed, let Nan Qi take the small piece of colorful stone to contact the robot insects.

In this way, we can know whether it is the problem of the seven-colored stone, the problem of Nan Qi, or the combination of the seven-colored stone and Nan Qi that makes Lily develop self-awareness.

If the result is that none of the robot bugs have developed self-awareness, then Lily is a special case. To understand why Lily is special, we would probably have to disassemble her body, examine all her components, and run her code.

But they don't intend to do that.

Lily has developed self-awareness, which means she is an intelligent being. If they really do this, Lily will feel insulted.

But ask Lily for permission to check the Lily operation log first, there should be no problem.

He does what he says, and Lenk is considered a half-expert in this area.

After Bai communicated with Lily, Lily quickly agreed. They retrieved Lily's operating logs for the past six months and found that the first abnormal fluctuation in Lily's status was on the day Nan Qi came to Bai's house. The fluctuation was particularly large, and she truly regained consciousness today.

The insects looked at each other in confusion. After a while, Melon said, "I don't think we need to continue the experiment. The seven-colored stone wasn't with Nan Qi when he first came to the Bai family."

After these words were spoken, the insects fell silent again. Although Lenk had already mentioned this possibility, when it really happened, they felt it was unreal.

The Empire had studied insectoid intelligence for centuries, but hadn't managed to develop self-awareness. Nan Qi's appearance had already caused Lily to experience a wave of anxiety. So what about the aircraft intelligence Nan Qi had encountered? Could it have also developed self-awareness?

"If this is true, it's too incredible. How can this ability be hidden?" Mellon muttered to himself.

"So, I don't think I'm that capable." Nan Qi still didn't believe that he could make the intelligent system develop self-awareness.

This is ridiculous and has no scientific basis at all.

Even if it is true technology cultivation, the word "technology" is still in front of it.

Lily is not a living being with flesh and blood, but she has a spiritual world because of her super high mental power.

It was just a combination of a bunch of codes and various hardware and software. Even an electronics idiot like him didn't understand the operating mechanism, and his mental power was useless. How could it possibly allow Lily to have self-awareness?

Nan Qi felt that it was most likely a coincidence.

Unfortunately, this theory was not recognized by everyone. Mellon said that he might as well conduct an experiment to see what was going on.

All the insects agreed, but in the end Bai voted against it.

"This matter ends here. No matter what caused Lily's change, remember it has nothing to do with Nan Qi." Bai said seriously, "You must keep this matter to yourself. It's not the right time yet."

"But Bai, if Lily's emergence into self-awareness is truly related to Nan Qi, aren't you afraid that all the intelligent systems that have come into contact with Nan Qi will mutate and eventually become suspicious of him?" Mellon asked. "You know, too many forces are focused on this. We should be prepared to find the root cause and contain it."

"Not so fast. Lily and Nan Qi have been together day and night, and she has only evolved a little today." Bai's eyes darkened. "Even if it were fast, they wouldn't be able to immediately suspect Nan Qi. They would just happily study why this phenomenon occurred, muddying the waters so they can fish in trouble."

"I agree with Bai," Lunke said. "Some things, I think, are better left unexplained. At least not now. The time and place aren't right."

Lenk's words quieted Mellon.

Indeed, in the Central Star, the most prosperous place in the Tro Galaxy, Bai's every move is in the eyes of those old guys. If they are too "cheerful", it will soon attract attention from many parties. It is indeed not a good time.

"Okay, those guys are really perverted. They want to know what color underwear Bai wears every day." Mellon said angrily, "It's really disgusting."

"It's really disgusting." This time, Peggy didn't choke Mellon, but patted his shoulder to comfort him.

The insects discussed enthusiastically for a long time, but were spoiled by the group of guys led by the Insect King, so they all stood up and said goodbye.

The reason for today's gathering is that they really want to get together, and the other reason is to show it to the Insect King.

They are all "direct disciples" of Marshal Aiyou Percy. The reason they get together is not only because of their childhood affection, but also because they have the same teacher.

The palace banquet two days later was the debut of Bai's heroic lord Nan Qi, who was also the Marshal's favorite disciple. They were using this method to force the royal family to insist on the appearance of Marshal Aiyou Percy.

After Mellon and the others left, the house became quiet.

Bai sat on the sofa in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking about. Nan Qi sat beside Bai and quietly looked at Bai's handsome profile.

When Bai came to his senses, he saw that it was Nan Qi's eyes that seemed to be filled with stars.

That look made Bai feel that he was extremely cherished by Nan Qi, allowing him to forget all his worries and immerse himself in it.

He pursed his lips and tried to say something, but after moving his lips several times, he couldn't utter a single syllable.

Suddenly, a touch of warmth covered the back of his hand. It was the warmth of Nan Qi's palm. Bai looked over. Nan Qi's hand covering the back of his hand was white, slender, warm and strong. Being held by such a hand, Bai's heart was completely at ease.

"Nan Qi," Bai said, "Thank you so much, and I'm sorry."

Thank you for your tolerance. I'm sorry for dragging you into the dark vortex, but I have no regrets.

Nan Qi shook his head and smiled warmly and peacefully: "Bai, I said there is no need to say thank you, let alone sorry. Let's move forward together."

"Yeah." Bai nodded heavily, his stern face looking a little obedient.

Nan Qi couldn't help but rubbed his white hair. The ice-blue hair was obviously a cold color, but at this moment it was glowing with a gentle light.

"Let's go. We don't want to think about anything tonight. Let's take a shower and have a good sleep. We can deal with the rest tomorrow. The sky won't fall anyway." Nan Qi pulled Bai up and ran to the third floor.

Lily flew out after charging and was almost knocked over by Nan Qi and Bai.

After stabilizing herself, Lily landed on the stair railing. She flapped her wings against the mechanical core on her chest and sighed exaggeratedly, "Love lowers a bug's IQ. Even Shiro has become childish."

Bai, who is sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, said: "..."

Nan Qi, the instigator: "Hahahahahaha..."

Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and tugged at Nan Qi. Nan Qi stumbled, then rushed over and hugged Bai in his arms, patting him on the back gently: "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

"Yes, I believe it."

The darkness remains, but dawn will always come.

And in the terrifying darkness before dawn, in addition to the friends who walked side by side with him, he was lucky enough to find a partner to accompany him for life.

After a good night's sleep, today is the weekend, so there's no need to go to the military headquarters. Nan Qi got up early in the morning and made steamed dumplings, porridge, and some pickled vegetables.

One small and beautiful bun after another came out of the pot steaming hot.

Bai stood beside Nan Qi, looking at the snow-white, fluffy and soft buns, smelling the wheat aroma and the faint aroma of meat in the air, and asked curiously, "Is this the bun you were talking about?"

Bai really enjoyed the noodles last night. The chewy noodles were rolled in the red pot, and they were spicy, fresh and fragrant with a strong aroma of wheat. Bai ate a big bowl before stopping, and was amazed at Nan Qi's ability to find and cook food.

Today, Nan Qi made dumplings with flour again. They smelled even better than noodles. Bai felt his mouth start to water.

Nan Qi hummed, picked up a steamed bun with chopsticks and handed it to Bai's mouth, with a smile in his dark eyes: "Try it, be careful, it's hot."

Bai couldn't resist the temptation and opened his lips to bite the steamed bun.

The first thing you taste is the fluffy and soft dough filled with wheat aroma and a hint of sweetness, followed by the juicy and fragrant meatball.

The aroma of wheat, meat and sauce is mixed with a hint of vegetable fragrance, which instantly makes Bai's eyes brighten.

"tasty!"

"It's delicious, isn't it?" Nan Qi saw Bai's eyes light up, and he obviously liked it very much. He smiled, "I also made some small flower rolls and small sugar buns. You can try them later. When I find some red beans, I will make you some with red bean paste filling."

After thinking for a while, Nan Qi said, "Bai, if you have time in the future, please accompany me to travel to the galaxy where the plant tribe lives. Their galaxy is full of lush vegetation, and there must be something I need."

"After the palace banquet, I haven't had my annual leave in years, and we still have our wedding leave." Bai Nanran joked, "We're taking our wedding leave. I think the Insect King will be very happy. He'd love for you to imprison me at home."

"That's great," Nan Qi said, his eyes swirling as he hatched a brilliant idea. "One day, when you're feeling down, I'll use this as an excuse to take you out. If you can condense your spirit form, we can use it to go out and play. If you're feeling down, you can go to the Insect King's private vault and steal two treasures. Perfect."

Bai was amused by Nan Qi's description, and he felt relaxed both physically and mentally when he thought of that scene.

At this time, Lily flew over and transformed herself into a large tray when she landed on the ground. "Nan Qi, put it here, put it here."

Nan Qi and Bai smiled at each other, put the porridge, buns and pickles on Lily's big tray, and then followed Lily out of the kitchen.

After a comfortable breakfast, Bai gave the highest praise to the three kinds of pasta made by Nan Qixin.

After the meal, the designer came and the two tried on one dress after another while the designer kept calling them perfect and matching.

In the end, Bai kept three more dresses in addition to the original moon-white couple dress, and also ordered home clothes, pajamas, and robes from the designer.

After the designer left satisfied, Nan Qi collapsed on the long sofa in the cloakroom and acted like a spoiled brat, yelling that he was exhausted.

Bai went forward to pull Nan Qi, but was pulled down by Nan Qi and held in his arms like an octopus, with his head rubbing against his neck. The furry touch made Bai realize that Nan Qi's cat ears were exposed.

Just as he was about to touch Nan Qi's ears, Nan Qi's tail popped out.

The nine furry tails were very flexible. They rubbed Bai's wrist and then hooked around Bai's ankle, just like a spoiled kitten. Bai felt soft in his heart and was willing to be a cat climbing frame, letting Nan Qi rub against him.

The two insects spent the entire morning in the cloakroom. It was the first time in all these years that Bai hadn't done anything serious. She and a male insect cuddled together in a small space.

Unfortunately, good times are always short-lived, and the two days when Nan Qi and Bai Bu were not disturbed by insects passed in a flash.

That night, Nan Qi and Bai put on the modified moon-white dresses.

Bai carefully combed Nan Qi's hair, and put a butterfly hair accessory and a matching brooch on her. Looking at Nan Qi who was dressed up beautifully by him, Bai felt a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.

This tall male insect, so handsome that it is almost beautiful, is his. Tonight, this male insect is destined to shine brightly and attract the attention of other insects!

And he would be proud of him.
