In Chapter 114, during the Mechanical Era, Shi Yu actually fell asleep.
I'm so sorry.
Lieutenant Colonel Karen was beaten so badly by Eve and Mo Rugui that she was hospitalized. To show his sincerity, Mo Rugui brought a flower basket and visited her in the hospital the next day. He was very sincere and said, "We made a mistake that day. I hope Lieutenant Colonel Karen will not blame us."
Lieutenant Colonel Karen, wrapped in gauze like a mummy, lay in her hospital bed. In the mechanical age, robots could recover from injuries by repairing data, but the robots felt that being injured and hospitalized like humans was more ceremonial, and the process of wrapping the wound in gauze and injecting IV fluids could not be omitted.
The flower basket was prepared by Eve; it wasn't filled with fresh flowers, but rather with "flowers" made of folded banknotes.
The flower basket played a crucial role in preventing the person from being kicked out after returning home to visit.
When Lieutenant Colonel Karen saw that the visitor was Mo Rugui, she was initially indifferent and staring at the ceiling with her nostrils flared. However, when she saw the "flowers" in Mo Rugui's flower basket, her expression immediately improved. When she saw the check in the center of the banknotes, a smile involuntarily bloomed on her face.
He waved his hand, which was wrapped in gauze like a bear's paw, and said, "Hey, it's a small matter, no problem, no problem."
Mo Rugui, having delivered the flower basket, didn't leave. He sat down and chatted with Lieutenant Colonel Karen.
Lieutenant Colonel Karen is no good, but she knows a lot of things. Mo Rugui learned a very important thing from Lieutenant Colonel Karen.
Fifty-four years have passed since humanity's defeat in the war between humans and robots. In these fifty-four years, although most humans have accepted being ruled by robots, a small number of humans have not yet accepted their fate. The Alliance is such an organization. They are hiding in a place that no empire can find, gathering their strength and waiting to make a comeback.
This organization is very mysterious. It is said that no one knows where their hideout is to this day. However, it is also possible that the robots do not consider them a threat and are too lazy to hunt them down.
Mo Rugui also learned that the founder of the Tongmenghui was surnamed Shen, and the current president was the son of the former president.
That evening, Mo Rugui went to Eve's place for dinner and told her the information he had learned from Lieutenant Colonel Karen.
In reality, robots don't need to eat; they can maintain their daily needs by drinking nutrient solutions. However, in order to be more like humans, robots also retain the habits of humans eating three meals a day, including human recipes. But nowadays, due to global climate change, many vegetables cannot be grown, and fruits and vegetables have become expensive and rare foods.
But the dining table of Eve, the richest man in the empire, is always filled with vegetables and fruits. Breakfast has no fewer than fifteen dishes, and lunch and dinner have no fewer than thirty dishes. The dishes are plentiful and beautifully presented.
Mo Rugui wasn't picky about food, nor did he care about the presentation. He even asked a servant to bring him chopsticks because he didn't like knives and forks. As he ate meat, he said, "Everyone in the Empire, whether they are robot androids or ordinary humans, has their identity recorded in the Empire's system from birth. But Shen Su's personal information has not been recorded, so his identity is like that of an unregistered person."
“We currently know that this instance is a role-playing type, but it does not require players to have language and behavior that match the character setting, and the character we play has the same name as us.” Mo Rugui spoke concisely, but with a lot of information, “The former president of the Alliance was surnamed Shen, and his son, the current president of the Alliance, is naturally also surnamed Shen…” After a pause, Mo Rugui looked at Eve and slowed down his speech, “He is very likely to be Shen Su.”
Eve only ate a few bites before putting down her knife and fork. The dishes were plentiful and the presentation was exquisite, but the taste was just so-so. She still missed the spicy hot pot from her world.
Upon hearing Mo Rugui's words, she exclaimed "Oh wow!" with excitement in her eyes, "The opposing camp, how exciting!"
She picked up the wine glass and gently swirled the red liquid inside. The crimson liquid reflected her beautiful profile and red lips, which curved into a smile. "Shall we go and gather some information about the Alliance now?"
“No need.” Mo Rugui shook his head, picked up his juice and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped his mouth with a tissue and said confidently, “They will come looking for us.”
Sure enough, the next day, Shen Su contacted Mo Rugui using a communicator.
The plan was for Shen Su to hack into Mo Rugui's communicator and arrange a meeting with Mo Rugui, who readily accepted.
For safety reasons, they arranged to meet at Eve's house.
The next day, Eve dismissed the servants, leaving only Eve, Mo Rugui, Shi Yu, and Shen Su in the study. After meeting, they shared information with each other. The difficulty of the high-level dungeon was obvious to everyone, and no one kept anything to themselves, including Eve.
After sharing the information, all four fell silent.
After a moment, Mo Rugui spoke.
“As expected, I guessed right, you are the leader of the Alliance.” Mo Rugui glanced at Shen Su. “Based on the information we currently have, the worldview of this world is a conflict between robots and humans, so we should be considered as opposing camps.”
"So..." Mo Rugui's gaze fell on Shen Su and Shi Yu, "Do you still want to continue cooperating?"
Shen Su draped one arm over Shi Yu's backrest, the other hanging casually at his sides. Hearing this, he raised an eyebrow. "Otherwise?"
"If it were simply a battle between humans and robots, the system should have already issued the main quest, but so far the system hasn't responded at all." Shen Su asked Mo Rugui and Eve, "Have you ever encountered anything like this before, where the dungeon description is full of question marks?"
Eve played with her newly done nails. Golden fish swam around in the shimmering blue ocean. It has to be said that technology changes lives. Even nail art in this world is very high-tech. When suddenly asked, she lazily replied, "I haven't been to many high-level dungeons, so I haven't encountered any."
Mo Rugui said, "I haven't encountered it either, but my friend Jiang Liuyue has. He said that this kind of dungeon only appears when the player triggers the plot."
Chen Su: "What if it still doesn't trigger?"
Eve quickly answered, "Then you'll stay in the game forever!"
"The robot's leader, the only S-rank in this world, is probably the final boss of the dungeon. The main quest might be related to him; we could try contacting him." Mo Rugui pondered for a moment with a serious expression, then looked up at Shen Su and Shi Yu and said, "Your identities are sensitive; it's best if you don't..."
He paused, looked away from Shi Yu, and lowered his voice to say to Shen Su, "Don't appear openly within the Empire's jurisdiction. Eve and I will handle the contact with the leaders."
Shen Su nodded.
He agreed with this, after all, it had taken them a lot of effort to come to the Empire from the island.
Shen Su noticed Mo Rugui's gaze again, and he turned his head in confusion.
Shen Su: "..."
Shi Yu had actually fallen asleep.
During his school days, Shi Yu was a recognized model student. He never fought, caused trouble, or slept in class. He was a role model in the eyes of his teachers, always ranked first in the grade, and was the class monitor who dared to sit in the front row in the strictest math teacher's class. Yet, in such a serious setting, he actually dozed off?!
However, Shi Yu looks really cute when she's dozing off.
His wispy hair lightly covered his eyebrows, and the soft light shone through the hair onto his straight nose. His eyelashes were black, thick, and long, hanging down like small fans. He supported his face with his left hand, and his fair face was chubby with a bit of baby fat, making you want to poke it with your finger.
Shen Su drew closer.
He wanted to see if Shi Yu would drool while asleep.
Shi Yu never dozes off in class, so he genuinely didn't know about this.
"Ahem, I'll contact you again if there are any new developments. You'll know how to get in touch with me."
After saying that, Mo Rugui and Eve exchanged a glance, then quietly left, closing the door behind them.
The sound of the door closing finally woke Shi Yu up.
He opened his eyes, his dark pupils glistening with tears, his gaze still somewhat unfocused.
Shen Su took off his coat and draped it over Shi Yu's shoulders, then adjusted his collar and asked, "Are you sleepy?"
Shi Yu shook her head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "I don't know why, but I've been feeling particularly tired these past few days..."
The smile on Shen Su's face disappeared, but only for a moment, and he quickly returned to normal.
"It's good that you're tired." He nodded, his arm naturally around Shi Yu's shoulder, and he leaned in to let Shi Yu rest in his arms, saying earnestly, "You haven't been resting much these past few days, you need to pay more attention to getting rest."
There's also a sense of pride in those words?
Shi Yu: "?"
Shi Yu understood in the next second.
He would like to rest more.
Is Shen Su allowed?
Since it was a public place, Shi Yu pushed Chen Su aside and asked, "Where were you guys talking about?" Then she noticed that the other side of the table was empty. "Where are Mo Rugui and the others?"
"I'm leaving after the meeting."
"oh."
“No, to be precise…” Shen Su moved closer, his lips almost touching Shi Yu’s earlobe, “They saw you were asleep and didn’t want to disturb us.”
Shi Yu: "..."
What do you not want to bother us about?
You should say it.
The official live stream of Automata –
[Hey, they gave you space, so what are you going to do about it?! I'm getting impatient!!!]
Please stop! Please! It'll be unwatchable again later. I, a noble SVIP, really don't want to live with 21 hours out of 24 that I can't watch!
[Please go to individual live streams for shipping/shipping, and to cloud storage for more explicit content. This is the official live stream for discussing the plot, thank you.]
[I feel like I'm particularly relaxed in this instance, completely at ease, as if I came prepared? (Of course, the ten days I went crazy don't count.)]
[Chen Su said he got in using a special guest pass, which isn't particularly rare. How come it seemed like Chen Su got it so easily?]
Although the main questline is currently unknown, as far as I know, defeating the final boss of a dungeon can also clear the game.
[With this new identity, Shen Su feels like he could really go toe-to-toe with the big boss!]
The comments section was filled with chat about the storyline when the screen went black, revealing a line of large, bright red text:
