Chapter 174
【……What? 】
Ye Wangxing was stunned when he saw the pair of golden eyes in front of him that he had seen thousands of times.
He actually liked Yijiu's eyes very much. Before he realized his feelings, he always liked to stare at Yijiu's eyes. At that time, he thought he was being polite.
but……
When he realized his feelings, he found that he simply liked Yijiu's eyes.
However, Yijiu's eyes were usually very calm, so calm that Ye Wangxing could not find any emotion in them.
During the time when he thought he had given up, Ye Wangxing often stared into Yijiu's eyes in a daze.
He was like a stock investor who saw the A-share market plummet and sold his shares in time, but couldn't help but pay attention to the market. He expected different emotions to appear in Yijiu's eyes, but he didn't want Yijiu's eyes to show the emotions he hoped for.
As a result, his reason and emotions were inseparable during this period, and there was no distinction between you and me.
But now…
Whether it was the boxing match in Ye Wangxing's mind, his inferiority complex, or his desire not to delay Yijiu, all of them were now shattered by Yijiu's words.
All that was left was a brain that looked like a house that had been demolished by Bigger. It was so messy that I couldn't even find a place to start cleaning it.
However, Yijiu was not stingy with his words. He just followed the host's instructions and repeated his words again.
【Host, I love you. 】
It was brief, but it seemed to burn Ye Wangxing, making him almost jump up from the sofa - but fortunately, Ye Wangxing's wrists and shoulders were still in Yijiu's hands, and were pressed down by Yijiu in an instant.
Yijiu even supported Ye Wangxing's shoulders to prevent him from falling directly on the sofa.
That's a terrible posture.
But he still stared at Yijiu blankly, his eyes wide open, like a puppy that was suddenly frightened by a big bone in front of it.
After a long time, Ye Wangxing finally found a thought that seemed relatively simple to sort out from his messy brain, and asked with some hesitation.
[…Yijiu, do you know what kind of love you're talking about? And don't you have any emotional modules related to love?]
As he spoke, his lips trembled slightly, but his expression remained blank. He hadn't actually reacted yet, and subconsciously asked the question he felt needed the most attention.
[First question, according to human definitions, my feelings for you are love. Second...]
Our system has a passive emotional program in the CPU. This is the initial setting, but it is rarely activated unless the system's own emotional module is heavily influenced by another party while the system is unconscious. Generally speaking, this is impossible, but host—you are my surprise.
Yijiu spoke in the same calm tone as always when he reported on the mission.
This passive emotional program will evolve and iterate according to the other side of the system's emotional module, and then gradually become an emotional pattern unique to that race. Sometimes it is family affection, and sometimes it is other emotions.
[And the emotional pattern produced by the emotional program in my mind is love.]
There wasn't even a ripple in his voice, only his eyes.
——Yijiu’s beautiful golden eyes, when looking at him, were like a lake dyed golden by the morning sun and rippling with the wind, or like golden wheat waves blown by the wind.
The mood swings are very obvious.
However, Ye Wangxing, the "wind" that blew Yijiu's thoughts, did not realize this.
——He was almost going crazy.
He really didn't expect to hear this answer.
Even though this was what he had been secretly hoping for, when the time really came, Ye Wangxing, a giant in theory but a dwarf in action, was once again petrified on the sofa.
But only he himself knows whether it is the truth.
After all, he was still looking into Yijiu's eyes.
—and the holographic screen he called up.
The dense data above combined with Yijiu's analysis suddenly made Ye Wangxing feel a little relieved.
He was quite familiar with this analysis scenario.
Just as Ye Wangxing was trying to regain his composure, Yijiu spoke seriously.
According to Sternberg's triadic theory of love, love consists of the following three core elements: passion: physical attraction, sexual desire, and emotional arousal; intimacy: emotional connection, trust, and empathy; and commitment: the willingness and responsibility to maintain the relationship.
[According to Helen Fisher, love can be divided into three brain systems: sexual desire: driven by testosterone and estrogen; attraction: involving dopamine and norepinephrine, triggering pleasure and concentration; attachment: related to oxytocin and vasopressin, promoting long-term bonding...]
Yijiu spoke calmly, and seeing the host gradually coming back to his senses with doubt in his eyes, he once again activated the analysis system, disassembling the program from beginning to end, and continued after confirming that it was correct.
【Based on these two theories, I checked my operating mode for you, the host, according to the six items above.】
The intimacy and commitment between you and me, the host, was established upon your completion of the first mission, and has gradually deepened with subsequent missions. Our rate of mental synchronization has increased from an initial 70% to a current 98%, proving our intimacy index far exceeds that of most human relationships.
【And commitment and responsibility...】
This itself constitutes the system—it is also my underlying code. At this point, my existence itself is a promise to you.
Yijiu said, staring into his host's eyes.
Ye Wangxing gradually came back to his senses, his eyes filled with disbelief and a bit of daze.
...He seemed to be really hoping that the smart refrigerator would work.
Although the lingering sense of AI was still chasing him in Yijiu's words, it also proved that Yijiu had really thought about what his feelings were for him.
It is not just a commitment, nor is it just the behavior prescribed by the system code.
But it was an action that came from his heart.
After coming to this conclusion, Ye Wangxing suddenly felt as if he was trapped in a dream, and an unrealistic feeling enveloped him.
He even felt as if his feet were stepping on cotton, and the sofa he was sitting on and even the things in front of his eyes seemed to become illusory and unrealistic.
But the next second Ye Wangxing was sure that he was indeed living in the real world.
[…passion and attraction and attachment can be attributed to physiological reactions.]
Yijiu spoke calmly and calmly, then waved his hand.
——Data and images that are completely unreviewable appeared on the holographic screen.
[The emotional simulation system evolved within my CPU has already helped me fill in the gaps. Various physiological reactions, without violating the system's rules, will affect my main body and biological body, including the generation of xx during close contact with you, the host—]
Yijiu was halfway through his words when his host covered his mouth with his hand - Yijiu's big hand was still hanging on the host's wrist.
Ye Wangxing finally realized that his hands had been held by Yijiu: ...
Seeing his host looking at him with an incredulous look, Yijiu quickly lowered his hand and said: ...
Fortunately, after letting go, Yijiu reacted very quickly and whimpered a few times, looking at its host with a hint of innocence, but Ye Wangxing didn't think there was anything innocent about this smart refrigerator.
——Which serious system would conduct a physiological analysis right after confessing to the host?
Ye Wangxing, who didn't bother to find out why Yijiu was holding his wrist, had his ears almost turned red. He didn't dare to stare at Yijiu anymore, and his fluffy hair seemed to become even fluffier, like a puppy with its hair standing on end.
[…If I didn’t know that you were the system, this would be considered sexual harassment.]
Ye Wangxing thought for a long time and finally organized this sentence.
After hearing Ye Wangxing's protest, Yijiu immediately nodded without hesitation.
Good host.
Ye Wangxing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but after that he felt a sense of inexplicable loss.
Fortunately, he immediately gathered himself together and planned to explain things to Yijiu and take back the right to speak, but he was once again defeated by Yijiu's words.
[I just did a search and found that this is something you can only say to your partner, and only after your partner doesn't express any dislike.]
After Yijiu changed the data on the holographic screen to another part of the search interface, he spoke seriously to his host.
[So host, are you willing to be my partner? ]
Ye Wangxing was stunned by the direct hit: [……]
[No... No, that's not right, but,] Ye Wangxing stuttered and finally managed to form a sentence.
[…I’ll be returning home after completing this world mission.]
After saying this, Ye Wangxing's ability to express himself became smoother, but...
His tone also became a little lost.
[Yijiu, I wish you had successfully iterated your emotional system in the previous worlds. I didn't expect that even though I was so obvious back then, it didn't make you realize it, but now...]
【I can only say that it is fate that makes people play tricks on me. 】
Ye Wangxing took a deep breath and looked up at Yijiu's face with an expression of helplessness and sadness.
[…So, host, you have had feelings for me as a partner for a long time, right?]
Yijiu said with a hint of joy in his calm voice.
【……yes. 】
Ye Wangxing nodded after a long time.
He looked at Yijiu's happy golden eyes and suddenly didn't want to emphasize again the fact that he was about to leave.
But then he saw Yijiu call up a holographic screen and place it in front of him.
——There was a title clearly written on it.
Application for Binding System No. 19 to Host Ye Wangxing
Ye Wangxing looked at the title and was subconsciously stunned for a moment, then continued reading until he saw a sentence. Ye Wangxing suddenly looked up at Yijiu.
"...regardless of whether the host Ye Wangxing decides to return to the company to sign a contract, System 19 will always be by the host Ye Wangxing's side until the host Ye Wangxing's life ends or System 19 is damaged."
It is difficult to describe what Ye Wangxing was thinking when he saw this sentence.
He only knew that after he reacted, he had already hugged Yijiu's waist with both hands and buried his face in his arms.
At this time, Yijiu's voice sounded in Ye Wangxing's ears again.
[Host, are you willing to let me be your partner? ]
Ye Wangxing nodded without hesitation and looked up at Yijiu.
The next second he felt a layer of coolness covering his lips.
"So the original's lips are cold..."
Ye Wangxing, who finally felt like he was in love with the system, thought vaguely.
But then this thought was suppressed.
"...I still can't kiss the AI after all. It's too exciting."
Ye Wangxing was dizzy from the kiss and couldn't help but think of an idea in his mind.
"Isn't he kissing each sensitive spot that was scanned?"
Just as Ye Wangxing was thinking dizzily, the reality finally froze him.
Ye Wangxing really couldn't control his real body, but fortunately, the plot had reached a point where Ye Wangxing could completely stop controlling it.
——This also gives the three adopted sons, who are almost unable to hold on in reality, some breathing space.
However, in Zhang Zhi's opinion, Her Majesty the Queen was stunned after hearing what Wen Yi and the others said.
But it is indeed understandable.
after all……
"I love you, but not as a father."
Anyone who heard his adopted son say such words while fighting with him would collapse.
Even though the three brothers looked disheveled, their eyes were shining brightly.
They stared intently at their adoptive father, with an expression of extreme liveliness on their faces.
——Not to mention that Her Majesty the Queen shuddered when she saw their expressions, and her attacks became even heavier.
Even Zhang Zhi felt it was hard to put into words.
But it is true that Her Majesty the Queen's expression is very lively, unlike before, when she sat in the Queen's seat like a puppet at the mercy of others.
It's just... a little too vivid.
It was so fresh that the entire Royal Institute, except for the main brain, was basically destroyed.
Zhang Zhi looked at the almost destroyed research institute and thought with tears in his eyes, this is all money!
Now that they have taken over this place, it will be their property from now on!
But obviously not everyone is paying attention to the institute's property, at least the three who are fighting against their adoptive father are not paying attention to these.
The next second, Zhang Zhi, who was on the public channel, heard Wen Yi muttering in the channel.
"That won't do. It'll make you exhausted..."
——Then the next second he saw Wen Yi accurately throw an anesthetic ball next to his adoptive father.
Ye Wangxing wanted to avoid it, but his mecha was too broken. By the time he realized he wanted to avoid the drug, he had already inhaled a lot of it, so he felt dizzy after only taking two or three steps.
His three adopted sons did not waste this good opportunity. God knows where they got the authority to control the mecha. They simply pried open the cockpit of the mecha and forced it back into the space button. Then they took their men away from the scene and flew towards the palace.
At this time, the rebels on the side finally reacted and stepped forward to drag the princes and ministers in the corner - if they didn't take Ou Che and their ministers away, they would probably die here.
Zhang Zhi, wearing an exoskeleton armor, directed the medical robot to quickly take Ou Che and the others away and put them in jail to await sentencing. However, he looked at Mr. Ye, who seemed to be still a little dazed, with a shocked expression.
In fact, all the rebels present looked at Ye Wangxing with shock and awe.
...After all, when they broke into this former Royal Research Institute ten minutes ago, they almost thought they had come to the wrong place.
Ten minutes ago.
"The signal is coming!"
Teacher Li's voice exploded across the communication channel, sending the entire rebel command center into a frenzy. The leader suddenly looked up from the holographic sandbox and gazed at the scene at the front line of the imperial palace.
——The royal army that was just fighting with the rebels now has its laser guns turned into scrap metal.
The rebels who had been hiding among them took out drugs that could make people lose their ability to move and killed everyone present, including
"Attention, all troops! Launch a general attack! I repeat, launch a general attack!" The leader's voice spread throughout the underground stronghold of the capital planet through the quantum communication network. "Remember our targets: the Empress Dowager, Gu Jin, and the twelve ministers of the cabinet. Not one can be left behind!"
As she spoke, the first missile exploded above the palace's protective shield. Thick smoke spread across the transparent barrier like a tide, instantly paralyzing the palace's defenses for three seconds—but for the well-trained rebel elite, three seconds was enough time to breach three lines of defense.
"Team A breaks through the East Wing!"
"Team B controls the central hall!"
"Team C has arrived at the gate of the Queen Mother's Palace!"
Following the voice on the channel, the rebels quickly took control of the palace.
Even the ministers who were meeting in the west tower were dazed.
"boom!"
A sudden burst of flames erupted from the west tower, interrupting her recollections. A mech painted with the royal crest burst from the smoke, only to be struck simultaneously by three homing missiles in mid-air, collapsing into a ball of flaming scrap metal.
——The medical robot controlled by the main brain rushed forward at an extremely fast speed and stuffed the driver into the life support cabin before he died.
This is also the policy set by the leader.
It would be too easy for those nobles to die directly. Things have to be settled bit by bit. There are so many victims waiting, and they must live to accept the revenge of all the victims.
Of course, another reason is that the Mastermind's orders are not so easy to change, especially since all the nobles are strongly protected by the Mastermind - this damn law is still in the Constitution, and even the Mastermind cannot change it.
Fortunately, they can reduce the emphasis on protection, which can be adjusted by the main brain.
When this was tested, all the rebels who knew the news exclaimed in understanding, it seemed that the relationship between the royal family and the nobles was not so peaceful after all.
Fortunately, this has now become a point they can exploit, just like they can adjust specific batches of laser guns, mechas and artillery for use on the capital star.
"Those are the Empress Dowager's personal guards," Zhang Zhi thought to himself as Teacher Li approached quickly, the data stream on his holographic glasses constantly refreshing. "The Empress Dowager has indeed hidden a private army. How's the situation with Gu Jin?"
The leader rubbed his brow and said, "We just received news that our dear General Gu was trying to escape through the secret passage, but was blocked by Team 3 in the underground warehouse. God knows how he managed to get into the secret passage with all 12 of his ribs broken."
At this time, Teacher Li made a cold joke: "Such a tenacious vitality should be able to allow him to survive from the hands of the three Wen brothers."
"By the way, speaking of Wen Yi, why haven't they joined us yet? Could it be that our dear Golden Toilet King has some other tricks up his sleeve?"
The leader asked with a smile, but just as he finished speaking, a huge noise erupted from the research institute the next second.
The leader turned his head in disbelief and looked towards the research institute, just in time to see several exoskeleton mechas fighting desperately.
The leader could no longer sit still, and immediately rushed to the research institute with the rebels who had no mission for the time being.
However, when the rebel airship formation arrived over the institute, the scene before them made everyone hold their breath.
"...Where did Ou Che hide his private soldiers?"
The leader muttered subconsciously, looking at the scene below.
The dome of the institute has disappeared, replaced by a huge hole with a diameter of more than 20 meters.
And in the center of the ruins, four mechas were fighting fiercely - to be precise, three mechas were struggling to resist the violent attack of a dilapidated mecha.
"Is that...Mr. Ye?" Teacher Li's voice changed.
The leader's pupils contracted violently. Inside the old, peeling mecha, Ye Wangxing wore an elaborate court shirt. His exposed arms looked thin, but a closer look revealed a layer of thin, yet powerful muscle.
His expression was still as pitiful as ever—but the mecha's movements were so violent that they were unbearable.
"Bang!"
Wen Shi's mecha was knocked into the ground by an elbow, and the alloy armor wrinkled like a piece of paper.
Wen Yi and Wen Jiu immediately attacked from either side, but were simultaneously sent flying by Ye Wangxing's spinning kick. The two exoskeleton mechas, costing hundreds of millions of yuan, crashed through three load-bearing walls, sending up clouds of dust.
As the three leaders were smashed into the ruins, they noticed that the walls of the research institute, which were made of high-density vibranium alloy and were originally strong enough to withstand the bombardment of strategic-level laser cannons, were now covered with spider-web-like cracks, and some areas were even directly penetrated.
——The hole that runs through them is even human-shaped.
Who smashed it?
That's really hard to guess.
The leader thought numbly as he looked at the ruins below.
But then the leader could no longer remain numb.
——Because the three brothers under him confessed directly to their adoptive father.
Moreover, right in front of him, he directly carried away his adoptive father who seemed to be unable to move.
The rebel leader who believes that his moral values are within the normal range: ...
Call the police now...are there any robots on duty?
The leader couldn't get any answer to this question for the time being. She could only temporarily believe what Wen Yi said, saying that they were just having a good talk with their adoptive father.
After all, she still has a lot of things to deal with.
She had to confirm all the finishing work on the battlefield, the arrangements after the war, the arrangements for prisoners of war, the press conference to entertain the media, and the various government decrees published online.
By the time the matter came to a temporary end and the next document needed to be delivered in half an hour, it was already the next morning, and the leader also received Zhang Zhi's message.
They finally found Wen Yi and the other three in the Queen's bedroom.
The leader was also eager to capture able-bodied men to handle the current task, but...
The leader looked at the three brothers in front of him, whose clothes were disheveled and looked like they had been scratched, and then looked at Ye Wangxing, who was lying on the big bed in his bedroom, wrapped tightly in a quilt, but from his outstretched arms with red marks, it could be seen that he was definitely not wearing any clothes.
leader:"……"
A sharp explosion sounded in front of the Queen's bedroom.
"...This is what you call having a good talk with your adoptive father???"
