In the 4710th year of the Federal Calendar, 15-year-old girl Lian Han leaves the planet she lives on with a card system, a residual soul, and three small beasts, heading for the Imperial Capital St...
"Wait for what?" Lian Han raised an eyebrow as he pressed the Spirit Gathering Card onto himself, about to activate it with his mental power.
"Reinforcements have arrived." 003 said, and the smart brain's screen popped up, showing the surveillance footage outside the villa.
The black mech had stopped attacking, because three more mechs had appeared behind it, each bearing a dark cyan bird totem and looking quite cool.
"The first one is the Ling family's Xuan Bird series mecha, SS-class. The two behind it are weaker, S-class mecha."
Lian Han: ? ? ?
What do you do when you suddenly realize that your S-rank strength is utterly worthless? Are experts really that common on the Imperial Capital Star?
However, since the Ling family is a powerful force in the military, and they have already taken action, she is now safe.
So—"003, why did someone ambush me? And why did the Ling family appear in such a hurry? Their home is far away from here."
003 Silence, the database starts high-speed analysis. How should this be interpreted so that the master won't get angry?
This is a life-or-death question. Whoever answers it dies, and if they answer it wrong, everyone might die.
Watching the three mechs on the AI crush the black mech, Lian Han sat on the sofa and summoned Xing Yan again, showing no trace of his previous panic.
“If you won’t tell me, then we’ll wait for them to tell us. But I searched on the SkyNet before, and the Ling family’s little princess is very mysterious. There’s no accurate information about her anywhere on the internet, not even her name. All we know is that her birthday party will be held on the 27th of this month.”
Why did we suddenly get onto this topic? 003 has a bad feeling.
"I guess she's 15 years old this year."
003: ...
The AI fell silent. Lian Han was somewhat surprised. "I always thought 003 was very businesslike. Turns out it can be cowardly too."
"Top-tier AIs all possess anthropomorphic personalities."
"Like being a coward?"
“Master, I’m just feeling guilty. Besides, my personality is characterized by meticulousness and thoroughness,” 003 explained.
"oh."
Watching the once imposing black K-582 mech on the screen being decimated in a three-on-one battle, its limbs torn apart, and then being overtaken by the arriving mechs, the three that had appeared first gradually retrieved their mechs and headed towards the villa.
"If I say I won't open the door, will you open it?" Lian Han asked, his expression ambiguous as he watched them obediently ring the doorbell.
003 quickly replied, "No. Obeying the master's orders without violating federal law is a rule that every AI must abide by."
"Inspect the villa for any damage."
"Aside from the damage to the rooftop exterior caused by the previous shot from K-582, there was no other damage."
Lian Han was surprised. He adjusted the perspective on the AI and, unsurprisingly, saw that several adjacent buildings had been damaged to varying degrees, and the road was a complete mess. It seemed that they had deliberately avoided this place when they fought earlier.
Lian Han's gaze lingered on the faces of the three young men for a moment. "Since the villa isn't destroyed, please proceed."
After saying that, Lian Han didn't forget to pat the housekeeping robot that was in standby mode next to the sofa, "Get up and greet the guests."
Why do I find this statement so ambiguous?
[I had almost forgotten about you if you hadn't mentioned it. You must know what 003 has done, right?] Lian Han's tone was dangerous.
[Of course I know. I know all the stupid things your AI has done. But you didn't ask.] Old Man Xing said matter-of-factly. [Besides, even if you knew a pile of relatives would fall from the sky, would you have run away?]
"No," Lian Han said.
"[That settles it then. Di Luo, you wouldn't be willing to give up. Although this relative fell from the sky, we still need to deal with it. Find out the details later, see what their attitude is, and then sort out your own thoughts. Whatever decision you make, I won't object." Old Man Xing said in a tone of someone who had been through it all.
[It's as if saying something that disagrees with you means I won't do things my way.]
"They really do know how." However, Old Man Xing knew that Lian Han was used to being stubborn and had things to deal with, so he didn't say anything more.
"Excuse me, Miss Lian."
"Sit down." Lian Han glanced at them and continued to stroke the fox's fur.
The girl was wearing a mask, her expression was unclear, but her tone was relatively calm. Ling Yue wasn't sure how much the girl knew, so she had no choice but to sit down obediently.
"Should we change how we address you?"
Ling Yue frowned. "The AI confessed?"
"Before asking her, I'd like to hear what you have to say first."
"You are my younger sister. You were stranded on another planet when you were young. We are waiting for you."
"Is it waiting, or searching?"
Despite having some suspicions in her mind, Lian Han couldn't help but twitch her lips. Did the Ling family really expect a little girl like her to find the capital star on her own?
"Ahem, Second Young Master isn't very good at speaking, Miss, please don't mind. Let me explain." Rong Qi stepped forward.
Just kidding. If he keeps talking, his daughter might run away, and the head of the family will whip their corpses, okay?
"You can say so."
"That's right. About eleven years ago, there was an internal strife in the main family. For the safety of the young master and young lady, the head of the family sent you away from the main family."
"Because Miss lacked spiritual power and her body was too fragile to withstand the intensity of spatial teleportation, she was placed in the Han family's sphere of influence nearby. Then, an accident occurred. We still don't know exactly what happened. We only know that the people protecting Miss lost contact, and there was no news of Miss for a long time afterward."
"It wasn't until I was 6 years old that 003 could connect to the internet?" Lian Han raised an eyebrow.
"Does Miss know?"
"I don't know. Before the age of 6, the AI can only provide basic knowledge to the user and has no internet access. That's common knowledge." The girl's voice was cold.
