Chapter 085 Mechanical Core (9)
The princes who came for the blind date arrived soon. After a ceremonial reception, the three wanted to meet Tao Xing alone, but none of them was willing to wait in line. In the end, they were deadlocked and decided to go together.
In front of the long table in the garden, Tao Xing looked at the three people sitting side by side in front of him and rubbed his brows speechlessly.
They were very talkative, introducing themselves, their backgrounds, knowledge, skills, and family members one after another...
Tao Xing didn't listen to a few words. He was only thinking about how to reject these three people in a friendly and peaceful way.
The three men also saw that he looked listless and not very interested. One of them paused, leaned forward and said, "Prince Xing, I am very good at growing flowers. I will give you a room full of flowers later. You will definitely like them."
Tao Xing was still distracted when he suddenly heard a tapping sound behind him.
080 had already read it for him, "'You will definitely like it' triggers the flattery skill, learn it."
It seems that Tianshuang is replenishing his material library. Tao Xing couldn't help but smile.
The princes saw him smile and thought there was something interesting going on, so they all started telling the story.
"I can do magic tricks. It's really fun. I'll show you. You'll definitely like it."
[study. ]
"I can play the piano. Let me play a piece for you. No one will dislike my performance."
[study. ]
"I can dance, too. No one dislikes my dancing."
[study. ]
"Then...then I can also change my face. Prince Xing, do you know how to change your face? It's a traditional art on Blue Star. It has many layers of masks. When you brush your hands across your face, it will change into a different look. You can change into many different looks. I'm sure you'll like it..."
[study. ]
"I will also..."
"Wait a minute." Tao Xing interrupted hurriedly, "I understand that you all have many talents."
I can’t learn anymore!
The three of them looked at each other and said, "Do you want to see it?"
"I……"
"Your Highness, His Majesty invites you and the three princes to attend the dinner in the main hall." A waiter came to report.
"Okay." Tao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
The three of them wanted to push the wheelchair, and Tianshuang had no place to stand. As he had something else to do, he asked to go back first.
It was already late after the banquet, and the princes returned to their residences. There was no further conversation that night.
Tao Xing had just returned to the main hall when a waiter said that Tian Shuang was busy running around and had left a lot of things in the inner hall.
He is a personal butler, and was asked for by the prince after crying and making a fuss. In the prince's own palace, no one would interfere with his daily behavior.
Tao Xing guessed that he was going to learn what the princes had said, but she didn't expect that the robot was so efficient and started so quickly.
When he reached the door, he smelled a faint fragrance and heard a few "ding ding" sounds. Tao Xing raised his hand to ask the people behind him to stop, and he pushed the wheelchair in.
As he entered the room, a few flower petals gently fell on his face. He picked up a petal, looked up, and saw the whole hall full of flowers.
On the windowsill and on the table, there are clusters of colorful flowers. In the night, they are bright and beautiful, and even a little dreamy.
The silver-haired and silver-clad robot turned around when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
Tao Xing was shocked again.
He saw that the robot's face was covered with a black mask.
He did not doubt whether the robot could learn so many skills in a short period of time. In the robot program, as long as he searched for these solutions, he could extract the data and load it again. Once the data was loaded, he would be able to learn it.
However, he probably searched for "face changing" incorrectly. This thick armor mask is different from the props used for face changing in traditional art.
But this mask looked a little familiar. Tao Xing remembered that he had worn a similar one during the last aircraft accident.
The masked robot, holding a baton in his hand, walked slowly towards him, his long windbreaker brushing against the branches of flowers. He leaned slightly in front of Tao Xing and said, "Your Highness, you are back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked the baton in his hand, and to everyone's surprise, it turned into a bouquet of flowers.
Tao Xing was caught off guard and was a little surprised, and couldn't help but smile.
Tian Shuang's eyes flickered: [This method is effective.]
He bowed and handed over the bouquet.
Tao Xing took the bouquet and saw the person in front of her looking up. The mask had changed from black to white. It was also an armor mask, but this one had a few peach blossoms painted on the eyebrows, and the mouth was raised, like a smiling expression.
He sincerely exclaimed: "It's wonderful."
Tian Shuang said: "Thank you."
Then he tapped his fingers lightly, and suddenly a shimmering light flew out from the palm of his hand, spreading in the dim hall like dancing fireflies. He bowed again, stepped back and turned around. The light spread out with his body and landed on the flower petals, like dripping dewdrops, refracting the cool moonlight, and like stars, floating around him.
Where the floating light passed, a few rays of light slowly appeared, and then three virtual light screens emerged, showing piano keys one by one.
On the virtual piano screen, Tao Xing smiled and said, "Do you want to play the piano?"
Tian Shuang bowed and said, "I am also willing to dance for Your Highness."
When he looked up again, the mask had changed again, half black and half white, with a plum blossom extending from the other side. He raised his hand and tapped the keys, and suddenly there was melodious music. At the same time, he turned his body and tapped his feet, performing a classical dance that combined both hardness and softness.
As he moved, the sensor keys around him jumped automatically, and the dance and the music continued.
The faint light flows, the flying petals float, and people who watch it can't help but be intoxicated.
The song stopped and the dancers in front of him gave thanks.
The mask turned red, a bright red with white pear blossom dots painted on it.
Tao Xing came back to her senses, slowly lifted the mask and looked at his true face.
The music stopped, as if time had stood still, and everything in the world suddenly fell silent.
Tao Xing may have thought a lot, or may have thought nothing. He moved closer to that face and wanted to kiss it.
Words appeared above Tianshuang's head.
[He liked it very much and succeeded in pleasing me.]
If you get any closer, he'll say: Alarm, alarm, he wants to have sex.
Tao Xing smiled slightly and leaned back in her chair: "Yes, I like it very much."
Tian Shuang also smiled: "Thank you, Your Highness."
The people looking at each other were somewhat silent, and the petals and spots of light were floating.
"Your Highness." A waiter knocked on the door outside, and his tone was quite embarrassed, "The three princes insisted on seeing you, and we couldn't stop them."
I heard the sound of disorderly footsteps outside, and it seemed that those people were about to break in.
Tao Xing didn't want them to see the flowers here, so she said, "Let them wait outside, I'll be out soon."
He turned his wheelchair and went out, turning back and saying, "You don't have to follow me."
When they reached the outer hall, several princes came to greet them:
"I'm here to invite you to enjoy the flowers..."
"I want to take a walk with you..."
"Your waiter said you were with Tian Shuang and didn't want us to disturb you..."
Originally, Tao Xing planned to explain to them one by one, but now she was too lazy to wait, so she simply looked at the three of them and said bluntly, "I don't like you."
The noisy conversation stopped abruptly, and the three of them stared at him with wide eyes: "Why, you don't like any of them?"
"Yes, I don't like any of them." Tao Xing made it clearer.
"Then... they say that you and your father almost lost their lives because of Tianshuang. Do you really like Tianshuang?"
Tao Xing said: "Yes, I really like Tian Shuang."
"But he's a robot, we all thought you were just..."
"Whether he is a human or a robot, it doesn't matter. I like him and only him. It's not a whim or lustful thing."
The princes were stunned: "I still don't understand why people like robots. Are you serious about what you said?"
"I mean it and I really mean it."
"Well..." The three looked at each other, "Well, I think it's useless for us to fight for it."
"Sorry, thank you."
The three of them waved their hands reluctantly: "Why thank you? It's our wishful thinking. It's not your fault. Forget it. Let's go back tomorrow."
Tao Xing was in a good mood and watched them go back.
After they had all gone far away, he returned to the inner hall.
On the way, 080 said: "Host, why don't you just tell Tianshuang what you just said, tell him that you like him, and see how he reacts?"
"Didn't you say that he is a robot without emotions? How could he understand?"
Love can be without a framework, but... it must have affection.
"What should we do then? Will the host still be with him in this world?"
Tao Xing smiled faintly: "He may not... have no emotions all the time."
Back in the hall, the fragrance was in the air and the flowers were still there. The virtual piano and masks were put away, and the sparkling spots were floating.
The robot stood among the flowers, clenched his hands, lowered his head, and looked... quite aggrieved.
What happened during this moment?
Tianshuang raised his eyes.
[Known: The chip is a betrothal gift, he is dating three people
Analysis plan: hindering marriage. ]
Tao Xing paused. There was no marriage going on. However, he wanted to see how the robot would interfere this time.
[Currently possible methods: please him, show weakness, seduce him, raise the alarm, method three triggers rejection.
The flattery is complete, and now we can try the second method. ]
Tao Xing smiled secretly, well, you finally don’t have to use the plan of “starting a war”.
After the writing disappeared, Tian Shuang took a step forward, bent his knees and half-knelt beside Tao Xing, looking up at him: "Those three princes must be doing well."
Tao Xing: “Ah?”
The robot's eyelashes trembled slightly. "They are of noble birth, well-educated, agile, and have harmonious families. Unlike me, I am just a robot that was created. I have never learned anything, and I have no family. The only people I have are the broken arms and limbs of a garbage planet."
Tao Xing: “…”
"Your Highness is justified in liking them, and it is also justified to give them the chip. I am just a robot, just a butler assigned to your side, and I shouldn't ask for so much..."
Tao Xing: “…Wait a moment.”
Don't say anything yet.
Don't wait for him to continue to "show weakness", otherwise he doesn't know where he will go. He said: "I don't want to give them the chip."
Tian Shuang asked, "Your Highness, have you not yet discussed the marriage?"
"Who said I wanted to discuss marriage? Why are you making wild guesses?"
Tian Shuang was startled and lowered her eyes slightly: "You went out to see them late at night, I thought you liked them very much."
"Even if I like someone, I would only like one. How could I like three at the same time?" Tao Xing shook his head.
For some reason, he heard the electric current crackle, and Tianshuang's data was a little messy. He raised his eyes again: "There is only one chip. Even if you like one, you can give it away, right?"
"No." Tao Xing was stunned when he said this.
At this moment, Tianshuang bit her lips gently, tears welling up in her eyes. She half-knelt in front of him, carefully hugging his legs with both hands.
This looks... so pitiful.
"Oh my." Tao Xing couldn't help but sigh that he had succeeded in showing weakness.
He pulled the person up and gently wiped away the synthetic tears: "I don't like anyone. The three of them will be back tomorrow morning. The chip will not be sent out. Don't worry."
The robot was delighted, but by the time it reacted, it realized that it had already smiled.
He was silent for a while, then said, "Let me please you again."
As he said this, he walked towards the flowers.
Tao Xing: “…”
Didn't you realize that you spoke directly from your heart?
He was seen picking up the mask and baton again.
So...the "once" you mentioned refers to the steps just now, repeating them exactly the same way?
"No need." Tao Xing said, "You have already succeeded in pleasing me, there is no need to do these things anymore."
Tianshuang turned around and thought for a moment: "Then I'll tell you a story..."
"No need!" Tao Xing interrupted in time, "Go to the hibernation chamber and sleep. This is an order."
Tianshuang: “Yes.”
The hibernation chamber was closed. Tao Xing: “Huh…”
The hall was quiet. A flower petal fell on his shoulder. He tilted his head to pick it up and put it to his nose. The subtle fragrance was refreshing.
The next few days were relatively calm. After Tianshuang's "flattering" plan succeeded, it came to an end. The "showing weakness" plan only appeared when there was a crisis.
He continued to do his job as a housekeeper conscientiously as usual.
Tao Xing is away most of the time during the day, as he has to look for chips and also participate in handling imperial affairs.
But the silence didn't last long, as some news suddenly spread on the gossip forum of Universe Star Network.
About Tao Xing.
"Prince Xing is very handsome and not a playboy. Although he rejected me, I think he is more charming because of his decisiveness. I will bless him."
There was a reply below: "I agree, he is very handsome in person. Actually, I kind of regret it. We could have been together."
This reply was accompanied by a photo of a man wearing armor and a mask, standing above the galaxy, like a god.
Tao Xing has been very popular recently, and this ordinary post quickly spread because of the attention he received. The photo was even more highly praised and became a hot topic for a while.
That day, the waiter hurried in and said to Tao Xing, "Suddenly, many princes and nobles of the empire have sent messages to come and see you, saying that they have a good impression of you."
Tao Xing: “…”
Are you all... so free?
"His Majesty told you to handle it yourself and he won't interfere. What are you going to do? How many people will you meet in one day? I can arrange for them to come in turn, otherwise our hall won't be able to accommodate so many people."
Tao Xing: “…Not a single one.”
"ah?"
"What? I rejected them all."
"Yes." The waiter hurried out.
Tianshuang from the outer hall came in.
He couldn't hear the conversation between the two just now, but he knew the news.
Just three left, and now more are coming... a lot?
With so many people, the probability of meeting someone you like is very high, and the probability of the chip being given away as a betrothal gift is also very high.
[Alert: The crisis is increasing.
Search for solutions, seduce him, trigger rejection ￥% In a major crisis, reduce 'rejection'. ]
