"What did he mean by that just now? Is he really planning to attend Knox?"
Zhang Kai was so angry that he laughed when he saw the office door.
"Just him? Can he finish the whole race? A rookie who has never participated in a competition!"
"Master, don't be angry." Yu smiled and kneaded Zhang Kai's shoulders: "This kind of person is only good at talking. He has no machine girl and no pilot qualification. It is impossible for him to participate in Knox. Even if there is no point in participating, he is not even familiar with the rules of the competition."
"You're right." Zhang Kai stroked Yu's hand and laughed, "But Su Nian is still quite good at modification. If it weren't for you, I would be reluctant to kick such an outstanding modification technician out of Tengyue Club."
"Master, we won the Knox Rally, and we gained fame, which will naturally attract tuners."
"That's true." Zhang Kai was thinking about his module factory that had stopped operating due to gambling debts.
He used all his money to buy [Yu-786]. At first, seeing that Yu and Su Nian had a good relationship, he had not thought about signing a contract with Yu. After all, the mecha girl and the pilot were two-way choices, and there was no point in forcing something. Now, Yu-786 took the initiative to become his mecha girl, and she would definitely win the Knox competition this time. By then, his factory would be revitalized and the debts he owed would be easy to settle.
…
…
The night wind was very cold, and Su Nian shivered.
He never looked at Tengyue Club again, without any regrets.
If Yu-786 followed him, he could barely accept this unremarkable mecha girl. At worst, he could take Yu-786 to more competitions in the future and use his driving skills to make up for it. Sooner or later, Yu-786's attributes could be improved to become a famous mecha girl. But Yu-786 looked down on him, so naturally he would no longer look down on Yu-786.
"Although this world has developed rally racing to the extreme, the cars have become robots and are so intelligent that the drivers are like a group of giant babies who don't know anything. They don't even know how to launch a catapult." Su Nian looked at the street lights and couldn't help but sneer.
Leaving him is definitely the decision I regret the most in my life.
People live for nothing else but to prove themselves.
"I've already boasted, now I have to find a way to contract a mecha girl."
Su Nian frowned. No matter how much he disliked the simple track of Knox, a 200-kilometer rally, he had to admit that he was not qualified to participate in the competition now.
There are two main channels for obtaining the machine girl.
You can either go to a store that specializes in selling mecha girls and buy them, or go with the club. The club will assign the mecha girls it auctions to its racing drivers. That's how the Yu-786 came into his hands. At that time, the Tengyue Club auctioned three robot girls on the Intelligent Machinery Island. After the unmanned driving test, only the Yu-786 was left. The other two robot girls were unwilling to be functional vehicles, and all chose to be recycled to end their lives.
For a girl with a robot, if she can't race on the track, her life will lose its meaning.
Many mecha girls would choose to go back to the furnace after being eliminated, refresh their mental cores and use them to produce new mecha girls. This kind of thing seemed very cruel to Su Nian, but it was already commonplace in this world. People respected the mecha girls who went back to the furnace, but they did not feel sorry for it.
"It seems that I can only go to the furnace to take a look. I hope the girl hasn't chosen to go back to the furnace."
Su Nian sighed, stood by the river, looked at the brightly lit city that never sleeps, and finally took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Uncle Liang, I'm young, didn't you say before that you would inherit the Huilu Field to me? I promised."
There was silence on the other end of the phone, and only the whistling of the wind could be heard.
"Nianzi, you don't want to be a racing driver anymore? What happened at the Tengyue Club?"
"I won't do it anymore. How dangerous is it to be a racing driver? I've figured it out now. I'm only suitable for living a lazy life and waiting to die. I'll just inherit your training ground."
Uncle Liang on the other end of the phone came into the house. With the sound of the door closing, the whistling wind stopped abruptly.
"Didn't you insist on being a racing driver? And you said that my job was done by an old man. Why do you suddenly regret it?"
Su Nian clenched his fists and said nothing.
"But it's okay. There's nothing better than living in peace and safety... Come back soon, and I'll make you your favorite fish soup."
Uncle Liang knew that Su Nian didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask any more questions.
···
Su Nian hailed a taxi on the street, huddled in the passenger seat, and finally felt a little warmer.
This world is an ordinary vehicle, but it can only perform the most basic transportation tasks. It cannot participate in rallies and it is impossible to turn into a sweet and soft girl.
"Master, go back to the furnace with conscience."
The driver responded and drove quietly.
When he first came to this world, he was almost as poor as a beggar. Uncle Liang took him home and raised him as his son. Uncle Liang was an old man with a good personality, but his health was not very good. He always coughed, and sometimes he would hold his chest and frown for a long time. The old man always asked him to continue to work in the furnace, and always shook his head when he heard that he wanted to be a racing driver.
Su Nian didn't understand why. After all, being a racing driver in this world was a profession for the rich and a shortcut for ordinary people to cross social classes.
"arrive."
Only after hearing the driver's reminder did Su Nian come back to his senses from his complicated thoughts.
After paying and getting off the bus, there was a huge ruin in front of us.
The place is filled with the wreckage of racing cars, and there is a sign in front of the mottled gate - Conscience Recycling Yard.
After the mecha girl is recycled, the robot core is removed from the car body, and the remaining wreckage is recycled by the recycling yard. These wreckages are taken away by the government every year, and a one-time allocation is given to the recycling yard. After all, the recycling yard does not pay when it collects the mecha girl from the club, so it makes money from the difference in price.
Uncle Liang lives in a small wooden house in the center of Huiluchang.
When Su Nian walked in, the aroma of fish soup was already lingering in his nose.
"Is Nianzai back?" The kitchen curtain was lifted, revealing an old man with a hunched back and a haggard face.
His hair was almost completely white, and when he smiled, the wrinkles on his face piled up like old tree bark: "Fish soup is good, hot!"
He turned and retreated into the kitchen.
"Uncle Liang, where is the robot that was sent back for recycling a few days ago?" Su Nian put down his backpack.
"They are in the warehouse." Uncle Liang's voice came from the kitchen: "They are a group of poor children. Now that you are back, please go and see them for me. They will be back to work tomorrow. It would be great if you can persuade them to make functional vehicles. If you can't persuade them, forget it."
Arranging the machine girls to return to the furnace is the work of the furnace yard.
As the director of the recycling yard, it is his duty to provide psychological counseling to the robot girl before she returns to the furnace. After all, from a human perspective, there is no difference between the robot girl's return to the furnace and suicide. If the robot girl is willing to make functional cars, she can not only survive, but also contribute to mankind in other fields.
Su Nian had done this kind of work for Uncle Liang before, and many of the girls were determined to return to training and could not be persuaded.
He ran to the warehouse in a hurry and took out the key from his waist.
"We can only try our luck."
He took a deep breath, and then he would see if he could pick out a candidate to participate in the competition from the girls who were about to go back to the training center. However, he knew very well that the possibility of this was infinitely close to zero, because the girls who would choose to go back to the training center would be eliminated and would have no hope for their future.
To put it bluntly... they just had a batch of defective products.
···
In the warehouse of the furnace yard, a girl in a silver tights was huddled in a corner with her knees hugged and her head lowered.
There was no other mecha girl next to her, only two racing car wreckages.
In the main control room of the racing car, the robot cores of the robot girls were quietly suspended, indicating that the two robot girls had been completely disintegrated in advance before being sent back to the furnace.
In the girl's chest, a star-like intelligent machine core emitting silver light is gradually emerging.
She was disintegrating.
Crunch——
The warehouse door opened and Su Nian rushed in just in time to see this scene.
"Stop!" he yelled quickly.
The girl was so frightened that she froze, and half of her omnic core shrank back.
