Chapter 10



Although he said so, Xu Piao finally had some free time and didn't know what to do for a moment. He just sat there in a daze for a while, watching 079 put the nutrient solution on the table next to the holographic game cabin after completing the daily cleaning.

In this way, Xu Piao doesn't need to leave the holographic game cabin, he can get the nutrients just by reaching out.

It is just like this: clothes come to you and food comes to you.

"What does this bottle of nutrient solution taste like?" Xu Piao asked suddenly.

079 showed a puzzled expression.

——Because nutritional supplements have no taste, drinking them is just like drinking water.

Xu Piao didn't expect the robot to respond. Feeling hungry, he opened the lid of the nutritional supplement and began to drink. After a few sips, he revealed an unbearable expression, sighed, and muttered resentfully, "I really want to eat hot pot, barbecue, self-service snail noodles, steamed buns, milk tea, puffs, and small cakes..."

She would drink a sip of nutritional supplement every time she recited a word.

Before transmigrating into the book, every time they finished a game project or revenue reached a new high, their game team would go out for dinner to celebrate!

Even in normal times, when he gets stuck or feels tired from working, he will order some milk tea or dessert to refresh himself. This is the main reason why Xu Piao maintains his fitness habit.

Why do interstellar people have such a weak appetite? Is it in this river?

Xu Piao asked a soul-searching question in his heart.

"Don't you need to work today?" 079 asked when he saw her sighing repeatedly.

"It's done."

Xu Piao raised her eyelids with little enthusiasm, and saw that the house had been cleaned and tidied by 079, leaving no room for her to even suddenly feel interested in doing housework to pass the time. "Are there any activities outside? How about you accompany me to pick up trash at the old man's place?"

The only activity = picking up trash, ugh...

Ever since picking up 079, the scrapyard had become Xu Piao's go-to place for finding treasures. He'd go there whenever he wanted, swapping whatever he wanted for something. In the past month, the once bare-walled room had been filled with a lot of furniture, all half-broken items Xu Piao and 079 had found at the scrapyard, and 079 had then fixed them up with his own creativity.

There are tables, chairs and cabinets everywhere. A few days ago, he even picked up a password box that can be used as a safe. As for the bed, Xu Piao was a little bit of a germaphobe, so he didn't pick up things from the scrapyard to modify it.

"There's a small gathering at the transit center today. Do you want to go and take a look?" Just as Xu Piao was thinking about picking up something today, 079 suddenly reminded her, "When you knew there would be a gathering today, you said you wanted to go and take a look half a month ago."

Huh?

"The rally is today, I forgot." Xu Piao's expression changed and he became interested.

079 followed her consciously, just like she did every time she went out during this period.

The transfer center that 079 mentioned is actually the place where she picks up the goods after buying something on Star Network. She is already very familiar with this route. When she arrived, she found that this street was full of things. If it weren't for the cyberpunk architectural style around it, it would look no different from a rural market.

"Can you pay with Alliance coins or barter?" Xu Piao looked at a few stalls and turned to look at 079. "I don't have anything with me."

079's expression remained unchanged as he handed several bottles of nutritional supplements to Xu Piao.

Substandard nutrients are hard currency on third-class stars, and nutrients that cost 10 Alliance coins a bottle shouldn't be too bad.

By this calculation, even if the original owner Xu Piao was on a third-class star, she could be considered a rich woman. If she didn't want to leave the third-class star, she would have to pay 6,000 Alliance coins every month.

After all, although the optical computer is something that everyone has, similar to an ID card, not everyone has a holographic game cabin on a third-class star. The original owner got the holographic game cabin by luck and winning the first prize in a lottery at a large-scale event on the star network.

Xu Piao took a fancy to a motorcycle that a young man was selling that could be driven in the sky as a flying vehicle, so he went up to ask the price.

The young man made a 'three' gesture.

"……three hundred?"

"What are you thinking!" The young man rolled his eyes. "Three thousand Alliance Coins, or something worth three thousand Alliance Coins in exchange!"

oh.

Xu Piao left the stall and continued walking forward.

In addition to flying motorcycles, there are all kinds of other things in this market, such as fully automatic doors, three-dimensional holographic projectors, and one or two holographic game cabins, but Xu Piao has never seen anyone ask about the price of the holographic game cabin.

Oh, yes, there are people selling robots, but they're all made of metal. None of them have the humanoid appearance... or humanlike thinking like 079. Even so, those robots are still very expensive.

Because the identity of the 079 robot is very obvious, many people will notice him and stare at him as he walks along the market. Xu Piao did not notice those people's gazes at first, until she stopped in front of a stall to ask the price, and the seller looked behind her meaningfully and said, "You can exchange it for this robot." Only then did Xu Piao realize how eye-catching it was to bring out a bionic robot.

"Just use this thing?" Everyone else said this, and Xu Piao didn't give them any face. He sneered, put down the fake clothes that could automatically clean and change styles, and turned away.

"Wait a minute, little sister. You don't look that old yet, so you don't know how to use this kind of robot, right?" The seller, dressed in a sexy leather jacket, leaned closer and whispered something ambiguous in Xu Piao's ear. "How about this, if you borrow this robot for a while, I'll give you this dress for free~"

Whenever Xu Piao felt that this interstellar world seemed a little more serious, other situations would arise, telling Xu Piao that this world was actually not serious at all.

Xu Piao was speechless for a moment, then quickly left the stall and continued walking forward.

079 also followed her quietly, as if he hadn't heard anything. With his white hair and dark skin, he kept his eyes downcast and remained quiet, showing no curiosity about anything around him.

When Xu Piao turned back to look at him, he happened to see the skinless silver mechanical structure on 079's shoulder and neck, as well as the skin peeling off the right side of his face, revealing the mechanical structure underneath. The dull silver contrasting with the dark skin tone did look a bit erotic.

It's that kind of... how should I put it, some old perverts just like to see characters who were originally wrapped tightly in clothes become damaged in battle with clothes torn and blood on their bodies. 079's appearance is similar to the battle-damaged look that old perverts love the most, and it's even a little more explicit.

Physically explicit.

079 noticed Xu Piao's gaze and turned towards her as if waiting for instructions.

"Come to think of it." Xu Piao didn't actually want to say anything at first, so he made small talk as they walked. "When you talk to me, it seems like you always address me as 'you'. You've never addressed me directly, right?"

"You haven't set up what I'm going to call you."

"Oh, so that's the case..." Xu Piao said he understood.

"The default address is 'Master'. Do you want to use that?"

?

Wait, wait! This...this isn't appropriate!

Is this such a big deal?!

Xu Piao's first reaction when she heard this was to look around to see if anyone was paying attention to her, fearing that someone might have heard her. After making sure that no one was paying attention to her, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked 079 to speak more quietly.

If someone hears this, it will be social death!

"Other titles include teacher, doctor, police officer, sister, father, and mother, but according to my data analysis, you'll probably prefer the title 'master.'" 079 obediently lowered his voice, his face a sexy, cool guy, even as he spoke these words, which, upon closer inspection, would be censored by Jinjiang. "When I said this, your heart rate fluctuation increased by 20."

That's because they're afraid of being socially embarrassed!

"079, you can shut up now." Fortunately, Xu Piao was the type of person whose expression would remain calm the more her emotions fluctuated. She calmly called out the number 079, "From now until we get home, don't speak."

The author has something to say:

There's nothing wrong with the word "河里", it's a meme
