Perhaps it was because she had witnessed her mother's lonely and desolate wait for her father since childhood, or perhaps it was because of the constant family dramas that surrounded her growing up, that she couldn't be like other girls.

Longing for love.

Longing for marriage.

Longing for a child.

She likes being alone, feeling free and unrestrained.

There's no need to worry about being murdered for money after your secrets are discovered, and no need to gradually lose yourself while waiting for a man who never comes home.

She couldn't imagine a future life with a husband and children, a warm bed and cozy home. She feared that after a life filled with mundane troubles, they would grow to loathe each other. The thought of it sent chills down her spine.

[Host, the system shop has many companion robots, ranging from plump to slender, broad-shouldered to narrow-waisted and long-legged, all the right size, with multiple personalities to choose from, and they can even play all sorts of fun games with you!]

Gu Zuozuo...?

The mastermind who just followed the clues...!

If Si Jue found out about this, he'd probably tear this troublesome thing apart, right? Probably.

Unaware that the mainframe was already silently standing behind him, the little system Klass kept sliding its claws up and down, excitedly introducing the thousands of handsome men's pictures on it to Gu Zuozuo.

Most importantly! These aren't quick-acting or short-lived men; they're companion robots with amazing stamina and explosive power, guaranteed to satisfy you with your purchase and keep you entertained every night!

Silence was the only thing Gu Zuozuo felt at that moment. Looking at the picture of the robot, which was described in such detail that even the size and length of a single hair was described, Gu Zuozuo's heart, which had just been as still as a dead lake, began to pound wildly.

This is practically a concubine selection event!

"Do people actually buy this thing?"

[Yes, quite a few. Most of them are being bought by hosts from ancient worlds. They're much more adept at this than you, a modern person!]

It's said that guy opened a club in ancient times exclusively for women, filled with robots he bought from the system's store. Ostensibly, it was for beauty treatments, tea, and snacks, but in reality, it was all unspeakable. He reportedly made a fortune every day! He successfully became the richest man.

Gu Zuozuo's eyes lit up. That's right! She could open a club! Only for women. Who says only men can indulge in debauchery in a club, but women can't relax and unwind?

The mainframe listened for a while, its mood fluctuating wildly. It feared that this young lady might really get carried away and buy a companion robot, otherwise Si Jue might really go crazy and kill this little idiot.

A companion robot, as the name suggests, is like buying an all-around husband.

It can fix lights, pipes, and sewers; it can warm your bed, cook for you, and act as your bodyguard. It's also available 24/7, and making you happy and feel blissful is basically its basic function. Except for not being able to give you offspring, it's almost omnipotent.

"The ancients really knew how to have fun."

Indeed, they were much more enthusiastic and outgoing than you conservative people of that era!

Gu Zuozuo snorted, indicating her dissatisfaction.

There are plenty of people who know how to have fun these days, they just don't do it openly.

The system suddenly started a heated discussion on this topic: whether people in ancient times were more open-minded or people of today are more enthusiastic.

The mainframe listened for a long time with its arms crossed, but finally couldn't stand it anymore and directly muted the small system.

Gu Zuozuo asked for a long time, but seeing its blank expression, she thought she had won and couldn't suppress her joy. Finally, she snorted and leisurely returned to her country.

Inside the system space, the mainframe stood solemnly in front of the smaller system and slapped it across the face.

"You little idiot, how dare you introduce a robot to your host? A companion type at that? Aren't you afraid that your ancestor will tear you apart?"

The little system crouched like a quail, not daring to utter a sound. It was afraid that if it opened its mouth, it would reveal that it had introduced many sex robots to its host, and it was afraid that if it did, it wouldn't live to see the sun rise tomorrow.

Seriously, if its host isn't interested in men, why can't it find a robot for company? Isn't the New Year spent with a robot too? Why is it allowed to stay by its host's side?

Ignoring the system space, Gu Zuozuo reappeared at the temporary command post on the border of Yunnan Province.

Seeing her appear, Xie Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes softening.

"It's good that you're back safe and sound."

With a wave of his left hand, Gu Zuo produced several boxes of various firearms and ammunition.

Do you buy secondhand goods?

Three question marks appeared above Xie Jinyu's head. What did that mean? Recycling?
