Chapter 474 Little Robot
At a busy street corner, fearing I might do something irrational, I suddenly turned around and clenched my soft, gentle hand.
He didn't want Gu Qing to see his slightly red eyes. "I'll show you around this planet. Although it's desolate, it's quite far from the Federation, so it still has some local specialties."
Once he changed the subject, Gu Qing didn't say anything more.
"Is that the black market over there? Can we go in and take a look?"
Chen Xingheng looked over there, unable to make up his mind. Gu Qing took his hand and shook it. "The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back."
"Then you have to obey me?"
"I will absolutely obey." As she spoke, she gripped his large hands tightly.
The two turned a corner and headed in that direction. Although it was said to be the black market, they actually had to go through several alleys. Unlike the narrow alleys outside, the real black market alleys were quite wide.
The only difference was that the shop porches on both sides, unlike the outside which was shimmering with colorful beams of light, were half-hidden and half-closed, making them appear somewhat dull.
People occasionally come and go from these shops, but few are as open and honest as the two of them; everyone else is half-concealed. You can't even see what their faces look like, and their figures are completely disguised.
Seeing Gu Qing looking at the antique wooden door where someone had just walked out, he didn't hesitate to take her hand and go inside. It was just as dark inside, and it took them a while to adjust to the light and see what was inside.
Like an old counter, it was filled with all sorts of parts and semi-finished products. The manufacturing process was rough, and the raw materials used were all second-hand. It was covered with scratches and dust.
Gu Qing turned her head and saw a small robot, less than a foot tall, on what looked like a display stand. Curious, she pointed at it with her finger.
The little robot's two eyes lit up, and a mechanical sound came from its joints. It turned its head and then looked at Gu Qing.
"Beautiful lady, please feel free to ask me anything."
Having just seen off a customer and taken the rare supplies he had exchanged, he returned to the safe in the back and put them away when the boss heard the noise and hurriedly ran out.
The old man was thin, with sparse, gray hair, and a missing tooth when he spoke. It was rare for Gu Qing to see an elderly man in this condition.
It's not that she lives a good life and can't see elderly people in such dire straits, but rather that fighters who have reached this level of maturity are extremely rare. And ordinary people can't even get close to her.
"Hello, gentlemen. What can I do for you?"
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at the two men out of the corner of his eye. They were unfamiliar faces, but he could tell from their clothes and demeanor that they were either rich or noble.
Then he thought of the recent rumors. After several guesses, he narrowed down the possibilities of these two strangers. There was no need to be alarmed, after all, people like them were the most well-informed.
He lowered his waist even further and became even more respectful.
Gu Qing then fiddled with the little robot with her fingers, waving her arm as if to grab it, "How much does this thing cost?"
Following his words, the old man looked at the robot.
"Ah! This one? Madam, you have excellent taste. This little robot was made by a newly emerging genius. It is made of high-quality mineral materials and is hammered using mature techniques."
And the soul bestowed upon it by that genius himself…
"Yes, it's just a hodgepodge!" Gu Qing didn't want to listen to his endless, rambling praise.
One sentence left the old man speechless, but this man was thick-skinned and then, with his face full of wrinkles, he continued.
"Look at what you're saying, the intelligent code inside the robot is the soul, everything else is just icing on the cake. But even the icing on the cake, we've found the best materials."
"Look at the intelligence of this robot." The old man began to demonstrate to her that this robot could not only operate autonomously and understand its owner's commands, but also control other machine products of category A and below.
As he slowly demonstrated, Gu Qing's eyes grew brighter and brighter. The most intelligent robot he had ever seen was the God of Wealth's abacus.
It was exactly like a human being; she could even sense faint emotions within it. This robot, though rough in appearance and even scratched on its mechanical parts, was no less intelligent than this little abacus.
"How many credits?" Gu Qing finally reached out and picked up the little robot. It was very heavy, but as her body level increased, her physique also improved.
And so the report was fairly good. Love was something the little robot kept saying. "Men and women shouldn't touch each other, please don't defile me, I'm going to get married."
"Waaah, I'm impure now, no one will marry me. You'll have to take me home and raise me, otherwise no one will give me energy stones, and I'll die."
