Staff: "Asimov, what happened to him?"
Asimov said in a panic, "I don't know why he suddenly woke up when I was connecting him to his sea of consciousness."
Staff: "Send him to the Star of Life quickly."
I opened my eyes and sat up in a chair. "How long have I been unconscious?"
Asimov: "Only two minutes. What happened to you? What did you see in your ocean of consciousness?"
I suppressed my nausea and replied, "No, I just had a flashback of the dark past. I'm sorry to have caused you any trouble."
After the staff left, Asimov sat in a chair and asked me leisurely, "Were you lying just now?"
I started to panic but managed to calm down. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Asimov: "Although I can't see the image, I feel that you must be hiding a secret, because you are still lying. Forget it, I can't do much about you."
Asimov looked at the lollipop in his hand. "Where are Lucia and the others?"
Asimov: "The blueprints are ready, and the technicians will start work tomorrow."
Asimov yawned heavily, and I asked him with concern, "Are you tired?"
Asimov rubbed his eyes and replied, "Yeah, I'm really tired of sitting in this damn chair and thinking about endless drawings every day. I usually have to pull an all-nighter every few days."
I echoed, "Those higher-ups at Sky Garden really like to make people work."
Asimov threw the unlicked lollipop into the trash can: "I completely agree with you."
Asimov asked doubtfully, "What do you mean by giving your men digestive systems?"
I thought about it for a moment and then said, “I just want them to eat human food.”
Asimov: "Although it doesn't have much impact on combat, it's still a bit troublesome."
I asked again: "What are the main aspects of the upgrade?"
Asimov: "Equipment, performance, and enhancing the quality of the artificial body will make it more beautiful and more like human flesh. You have to understand that we are different from those crazy scientists. Although many staff members like me hate our work, we are very pursuing perfection."
Me: “How long will it take?”
Asimov: "About two weeks!" Hearing that it would take some time, I said goodbye to Asimov.
I was walking in the corridor, and people around me walked past me with tired faces. Suddenly, a small robotic ball came jumping towards me. I grabbed the ball with my left hand. The eyes in the middle of the ball looked back and forth, and the four legs kept swinging.
I was wondering where this little thing came from, when suddenly a girl rushed towards me and knocked me out with her head. I let go of the ball in pain and finally stood up.
I saw a girl wearing a shoulder-baring dress with long sleeves, black stockings and a pair of tiny high heels on her small feet.
The girl held the mechanical ball and said, "Bang! Bang! Bang! Number 21 has snatched Little Hulu back from the bad guys."
"Don't run around on the 21st. You have to go to Faos Academy later. Have you forgotten again?" Vera's voice came from behind the girl.
Vera was overjoyed when she saw me and rushed over to me. "I heard that you met an Ascender again. I thought you were going to die this time."
Vera strangled me hard. I said, "Didn't I almost die last time? And I can't breathe."
Vera quickly stood up and said, "I forgot to introduce you. This is my new team member, number 21. Don't be fooled by his silly appearance, he's very powerful."
When No. 21 heard Vera's introduction, she raised her hands in a frightening gesture, her expression stiff. I couldn't help but laugh and said, "But I think she's cute!"
Number 21 was confused: "Cute? What does that mean?"
Vera patted No. 21's head and said, "It means I'm praising you for being pretty."
No. 21: "He praised No. 21. Does that mean he's not a bad person who steals Snore?"
Vera: "He's not a bad person to begin with. Besides, it was your pet that ran away, so you should be the one to apologize."
No. 21: "Is that so? I'm so sorry for causing you trouble."
This is so cute, I can't help but want to touch her head: "Can I touch your head?"
No. 21 said seriously, "Except for the captain, no one is allowed to touch my head?"
Vera ignored what No. 21 said: "It's okay, you can touch it! It feels good."
No. 21 looked at Vera aggrievedly: "Captain!"
I smiled and held out my hand: "Then I won't be polite."
I gently placed my left hand on No. 21's hair and stroked it gently. No. 21 showed a very comfortable expression, and I gently pinched his face again.
No. 21: "Ah, wuwuwu, it hurts."
After being satisfied, I released my hand and said, "Ms. Vera, you just said you were going to Faos College. What are you going to do?"
Vera reacted, "It's about having some elite teams go to the academy for a demonstration."
I remembered: "Just like what Vanessa did last time."
Vera: "Indeed, but we can't let a madwoman like her cause a death. Oh, and I heard you scolded that girl this morning. If you were really like that, I would have disliked her a long time ago."
I said awkwardly, "It was just a spur of the moment, a spur of the moment thing."
Vera: "I'm bored by myself, so why don't you come with me? Your team members are still upgrading their units, so stay with me for a while."
