Chapter 77 Mechanical Core (1)
"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's time for you to wake up and take your medicine." Tao Xing came out of the chaos and heard respectful words in his ears.
"Traveling to ancient times?" Upon hearing this name, his first reaction was that it was ancient times.
I felt sore all over, shortness of breath, and numbness in my legs. I just realized that the original owner seemed to be injured, and then I heard someone say in my ear: "His Majesty has ordered someone to bring back the bionic robot you wanted. Please stop making trouble with His Majesty and get up to take medicine, okay?"
Bionic...robot?
That's not ancient times.
Tao Xing slowly opened his eyes and saw a magnificent hall. The roof and walls were made with unknown technology, and there were no traces of splicing. The smooth curves seemed to be formed naturally, and the surface was inlaid with gold and silver, shining brightly, luxurious and full of technology.
Looking at the people in front of him, they were all wearing the same uniform, dark-colored, long, lapel trench coats that reached their ankles, leather belts, and various embroidered patterns on their clothes. Most of them had long hair.
Tao Xing roughly understood that this was the interstellar background.
He also came from the interstellar era, but this small world was obviously different from theirs in style. From the name, one could tell that this was an imperial system.
080 said: "Host, your original owner this time is a prince, and he seems to be very favored."
Tao Xing looked at the people around him again.
Seeing him wake up, the leading elder said, "Hey, Your Highness, you can just talk to His Majesty nicely. Why do you have to threaten him with death? If you climbed up to a high place and broke your leg, who will suffer?"
No wonder my whole body ached. It turned out that the original owner had fallen from a high place.
These people didn't look that nervous, and the place I was in didn't look like a medical environment. I guess they had been rescued and were now in the recuperation stage.
Only the quick traveler could come in after the original owner died. Tao Xing came in now, which means that the original owner did not die on the spot when he fell, but died just now. What happened?
The transformation from life to death only took a split second, so the people around him naturally didn't notice it. The elder was holding a tube of medicine and was about to pour it into the cup. After thinking for a moment, he turned back and said, "Tianshuang, come here. From now on, His Highness will be in your service."
"Yes." A clear male voice came from behind.
The crowd dispersed one by one. I don't know if it was the water vapor or the sky color, but a layer of mist seemed to float in the room. A man in a silver matte long coat approached, half-knelt on the ground beside the bed, with his long silver hair half tied up behind his back. He raised his extremely perfect face and said, "Your Highness, I am the bionic butler Tianshuang, at your service."
Tao Xing's eyes first fell on the gem-like red eyes and asked the system: "He is the target of the mission."
The system received a message from the program: "Congratulations to the host for finding the target. The target of this world's mission is a bionic robot. Because he was judged as a villain, he started a war between man and machine, which ultimately resulted in both sides being hurt, causing human civilization to regress billions of years, and he himself will wander endlessly in the vast universe. The host's mission is to stop him from starting a war."
The system has been improved this time and provides all the information right away.
After going through several worlds, Tao Xing has gained experience. Although they are called villains, they are actually... little cuties and not scary.
What's more, this one looks exactly like a human.
Bionic man? Tao Xing was a little curious and raised his hand and said, "Get up and come closer."
The bionic man with silver hair and silver clothes stood up and half-bowed in front of the bed.
Tao Xing saw the chest moving regularly and feeling the heartbeat. He then looked at the neck and saw the pulse rising and falling. He moved his eyes upwards and the tendons and veins on the face were clearly visible.
This is no different from humans.
Trying to see if it was breathing again, he raised his hand, grabbed the robot's collar and pulled it down.
The other person's face was forced closer, so close that his red eyes stared at Tao Xing calmly.
Tao Xing leaned close to his breath and closed her eyes to feel it.
Seeing this, the people around him coughed and said, "Your Highness, leave this to Tianshuang. We will leave first. He has just been implanted into the housekeeper system and is not yet familiar with it. You just need to train him." Then he put the water cup on the table and said, "Tianshuang, serve Your Highness well."
"Yes." The robot responded in a gentle and docile voice.
The group went out quickly and the bedroom became quiet. Tao Xing didn't feel anything when she breathed.
The bionic man doesn't breathe, which is a little different.
"Your Highness, would you like to take your medicine now?" the person in front of me spoke.
Tao Xing opened her eyes and let go: "Okay."
Tian Shuang stood up: "Please allow me to prepare the medicine first."
"Well, do you know how to match it?"
"After I scan the medicine, I can extract the mixing instructions from the program." Tianshuang said. After getting his consent, he picked up the water cup and the medicine and walked to the side. The force and interval of each step were the same, which was extremely elegant.
I saw him holding up the medicine and placing it flat in front of his eyes. He should be scanning it, and his expression was extremely focused.
Tao Xing smiled and just leaned on the bed when he suddenly heard a "click" sound, as if someone was typing on a keyboard. He looked in the direction of the sound and his eyes fell on Tian Shuang. He couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.
I saw strings of codes floating around Tianshuang like smoke and clouds. The green codes circled around him for several times and finally merged above his head to form a sentence.
[15 ml of medicine, 250 ml of water.]
Tao Xing: “…”
He tried to call out: "Hello?"
The robot turned around and said, "What do you want, Your Highness?"
Tao Xing blinked: "It's okay, just continue with your work."
"Yes." The robot turned back and took another potion.
The words on the head changed: [Twice a day, strictly follow the dosage, never overdose.]
Tao Xing was certain that the handwriting on the head was the robot's inner thoughts. He was currently preparing medicine and was reading it out in his mind unconsciously.
The robot obviously didn't know there were words on its head.
What is this function?
080 thought: "Host, you have the benefit of mind reading in this world. You can hear the voice of the mission target, but this target is special. He has no heart and is made up of data. Therefore, the skill has evolved to turn his voice into handwriting and display it above his head."
"So that's how it is." Tao Xing nodded.
080 saw the host's indifferent reaction and remembered that in Helin's world, the host had always been unwilling to buy mind-reading skills. He said that he didn't want to use this method to pry into the other person's heart. So now, is he also quite opposed to it?
The system thought for a moment and said, "Host, this skill can also be turned off. Do you want to turn it off?"
Tao Xing was silent for a moment: "Turn it off. I really don't want to pry into his mind like this. Besides, he doesn't need to pry. He is a machine. It is impossible for him to say one thing and mean another."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the words on the robot's head change again, and several lines appeared:
[Purpose: Make him unconscious for half a week and wake him up after seven weeks.
Lock available tools: potions.
Calculate the dosage of the medicine: For the second medicine, add 0.235 ml more]
Tao Xing: “…”
Who did he say was going to be unconscious?
080: "Of course it's you, the host. He's preparing medicine for you."
Tao Xing: "...Wait a minute, don't turn off the mind-reading function yet."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the robot dispensing medicine, and saw him calmly add the medicine into the water cup. With a flick of his fingers, which were no different from those of a human, black liquid dripped into the water. With a gentle shake, the colorless water turned deep red.
"080, calculate the dose he just dripped." Tao Xing gave instructions to the system.
The tiny difference is invisible to the naked eye, but the system can detect it. 080 quickly calculated: "15.235 milliliters."
"You really poisoned me!" Tao Xing frowned. "What does this mean? If you make me unconscious at night, he won't have to serve me?"
080 was shocked: "Host, this robot should not be underestimated. It obviously has self-awareness. However, his self-awareness is also generated based on the code, and it is not as smart as me."
"You mean you're better at saying one thing in front of others and another behind their backs than he is?" Tao Xing said.
The system said aggrievedly: "Isn't it just to help you make a comparison?"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Tao Xing said, "So, although he has self-awareness, he can't possibly have human thinking, right?"
"Human thinking and emotions are extremely complex. Machines cannot have them. Everything a human does is calculated." 080 said.
"Okay, got it." Tao Xing nodded, and saw Tian Shuang had already come to the bed with a cup of water: "Your Highness, take the medicine."
Tao Xing didn't move, just stared at his face.
The writing on the head had disappeared. The robot had a gentle expression. Seeing that the person did not move, he said, "Do you need me to feed you?"
Tao Xing didn't notice any change in his expression and shook her head, "I don't want to drink."
The robot remained gentle: "This will help you recover from your injuries."
"I think I'm fine. It's okay to not drink for once."
Tian Shuang: "If you don't drink it once, it will take ten weeks to fully recover."
"What does that matter?"
Tian Shuang: "You mean, you're willing to prolong your recovery time and not take the medicine this time, right?"
"Um."
"Yes." Tianshuang took back the medicine and poured it into the processor in an orderly manner. "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"
"Don't you have an implanted system? Just do whatever you want." Since he didn't want to serve, Tao Xing didn't order him around.
Tianshuang stood still.
Tao Xing heard the tapping sound again, and saw the words reappear above his head: [Butler system detection, the most beneficial action for the master at the moment is to help him massage his legs.]
Tian Shuang came over and said, "Your Highness, I will massage your legs to promote blood circulation. You will get better faster, okay?"
"That's fine." Well, at least not everything you think about is directed at me.
Tianshuang knelt on the bed, and gently rubbed his legs with her slender fingers. It was a little sore, but very comfortable. Tao Xing looked at his face and gradually moved his eyes to his silver hair. She saw words on his head.
[Purpose: To slow down the recovery of his legs, to lock in the available options: massage, to calculate the implementation of the plan: ankle reverse thrust.]
Tao Xing: “…”
Well, you're targeting me.
He held his breath and stared at the robot's hand. He saw it press on the knee, slowly move down, knead/knead between the legs, and then return to the knee.
Then, slowly move down to rub/knead the calves again, and then extend one hand to the ankles.
Tao Xing took a breath and said, "I want to go to the bathroom."
The hand was withdrawn in time, and Tianshuang stood up: "Your legs are inconvenient, I will carry you."
Tao Xing narrowed her eyes slightly: "Are you... sure?"
Don't abandon me halfway.
Robot: "It is my job to take care of His Highness."
Tao Xing stared at him for a long while, and seeing that he didn't speak his mind, although he just used the excuse to interrupt the massage, he really wanted to go to the bathroom. He also thought that this robot only dared to make small movements that could not be noticed, and it should not dare to throw him openly, so he nodded: "Okay."
Tianshuang leaned over, put one hand on his neck and the other on his knee, and picked him up sideways.
080 Watching the fun: "The host was carried by a princess."
Tao Xing: “…”
I can't use my hands and feet in this state, I'm completely passive.
However, it can also be sensed that bionic people have temperature, which is similar to human body temperature.
After walking half the distance and everything was safe and sound, Tao Xing was just about to relax his guard when he heard a "tapping" sound.
He raised his eyes resignedly.
[Purpose: throw him down, aggravate his leg injury, locked plan: let go, plan implementation: tripped.]
As soon as the handwriting disappeared, Tao Xing felt that the robot had slightly changed its direction. Such a small change would not even change the destination. If he had not been alert, it would have been difficult to see.
However, the changed road, according to the robot's pace, would step on a corner of the carpet, and the tassel at that place was accidentally kicked under the carpet by someone, causing that corner to bulge slightly.
Since the robot intends to trip, he will definitely fall when he steps on it.
Three more steps to go.
Tao Xing looked around urgently. There was a table on the side in front of him, but it was still several steps away and out of reach. Even if he could reach it, if he was thrown, he could only hit the table horizontally, which would not be of much help.
It’s not reasonable to say that you don’t want to go now. Besides, the original owner’s leg is really injured and he can’t stand.
One more step.
He frowned and hugged Tianshuang's neck tightly.
I'll hang on to you and see how you throw it.
