Chapter 10
The result of playing too recklessly on Earth was that when Chenxi returned to the starship, she was so tired that she didn't even want to move a toe.
Lying in the large, luxurious bathtub, the warm water soaked his body, and countless tiny streams of water washed over him, bringing a massage-like experience to relieve fatigue. Chen Xi had been lazily soaking in the bathtub for more than half an hour. The water was always at a constant temperature, so he didn't have to worry about it getting cold. However, after soaking for so long, the skin on his fingers had already wrinkled.
Chenxi knew it wasn't good to continue soaking, but when he tried to move, his limp hands and feet felt as if they were weighed down by a thousand pounds, making it impossible for him to get up on his own.
Chen Xi struggled for a while, then gave up and lay back down. Oh well, he'd just soak in it one more time. It was quite comfortable anyway, and he was in good health now, so he wouldn't get sick or die.
Just as Chenxi made this decision happily, the tightly closed bathroom door was suddenly opened, and a tall figure walked in.
This was completely beyond Chen Xi's expectations, causing his mind to freeze for a second before he snapped out of his daze and hurriedly scrambled deeper into the bathtub, anxiously asking, "You, why did you come in without saying anything?"
In a short time, Jin Yi's long legs had reached the luxurious bathtub. He lowered his head, his golden eyes fixed on Chen Xi, and said, "You need help."
Chen Xi was a little exasperated, "Who needs your help! I'm taking a shower! I'm taking a shower, you know that?!"
Jin Yi lowered her eyes and said seriously and quietly, "Taking a bath can also help."
Then, something happened that made Chen Xi blush and go crazy. Jin Yi bent down and, taking advantage of his height, easily pulled him out of the bathtub with his two equally slender arms. Yes, pulled him out.
He was lifted out of the hot water and held naked in Jin Yi's arms in a princess carry, and Chen Xi's skin turned red with shame.
However, just as Chen Xi was about to explode, Jin Yi looked at Chen Xi and said, "I am a robot, you don't need to be shy about me."
These words seemed to have a miraculous effect. Chen Xi, whose toes had been curling up in shame, froze for a moment, and then her tension and shame quickly dissipated.
Oh right, Jin Yi is a robot, so it doesn't seem like a big deal that she was seen by a robot.
Thus, a conflict that was about to erupt vanished without a trace.
It must be said that humans sometimes have a very strange sense of trust in their own creations.
After Jin Yi carried Chen Xi to the bedroom to dry off and changed him into new pajamas, Chen Xi, who was now comfortable, was no longer angry. However, he still said to Jin Yi, "You are not allowed to come in when I take a shower in the future. I am not used to it."
Jin Yi stared at Chen Xi, "What if we encountered a situation like today?"
Chen Xi was speechless. He thought about how he had no strength to get out of the bathtub just now, but after Jin Yi came, all the problems were easily solved. Now he could even lie comfortably in bed and prepare to sleep. After hesitating for a while, Chen Xi did not say "You are not allowed to come in" decisively. Instead, he said, "I will call you when I need you."
"Okay," Jin Yi replied gently, a hint of a smile seemingly flashing deep in his eyes.
...
Chenxi was enthusiastic about bungee jumping for a while, but this didn't last long. After a while, Chenxi got tired of it and stayed in her room, refusing to come out.
Although bungee jumping is fun, it's also very tiring. Moreover, this is a future world, a human civilization that was once extremely prosperous and developed all kinds of entertainment to their fullest extent. When humanity perished, these resources were not destroyed.
So although there are no humans left in the world now, they have left behind countless entertainment resources.
Those future games, movies, and novels completely captivated Chen Xi after just one glance.
Bungee jumping and the like are nothing compared to higher-end entertainment, and Chen Xi instantly forgot about them. After all, were games no longer fun, or were movies and novels no longer interesting?
Moreover, not being able to stay up all night playing games, watching movies, or reading novels was also a regret he once had.
As a result, Chenxi has become a complete internet addict. In addition to being proficient in using various virtual reality entertainment devices, he also had Jin Yi and the others specially customize a tablet-phone combo device for him. This device unfolds to be the size of a tablet and folds up to be a phone, fully catering to Chenxi's usage habits and retro sentiments. He uses this device to complete entertainment activities that do not require virtual reality experiences.
With the ultimate entertainment resources, the perfect equipment, a healthy body, and a variety of delicious foods every day, plus the carbonated drinks that the robots can easily replicate because of nostalgia, and Jin Yi's meticulous care by her side, Chen Xi doesn't need to worry about anything every day and can just enjoy all of this. She is living a life like a god.
There's a saying that goes something like this: God closes your door, closes your window, then turns on the air conditioner and provides you with snacks and drinks. Chenxi felt that this saying perfectly described his current life.
However, I still feel like something is missing.
Lying on a recliner, wearing virtual reality glasses and watching a great movie, Chen Xi, who had been fed a snack by Jin Yi, pondered for a long time before finally realizing what he lacked: a pet! He was missing a pet!
Chenxi loves animals, but because of his past health condition, his family is worried that keeping pets will have a negative impact on his health, so he has always avoided pets and can only admire them from afar, never having owned one himself.
Chenxi quickly made this request to Jinyi.
When faced with Chenxi's request, Jin Yi asked him what kind of cats and dogs he wanted to keep. Immediately, a page full of small square photos appeared on Chenxi's 2-in-1 tablet. These small square photos could be scrolled down indefinitely, and each photo contained pictures of cats and dogs of different breeds and poses. Clicking on them would reveal more detailed information.
Jin Yi told Chen Xi that the pet gene pool is very well preserved, especially for cats and dogs that were once very popular with humans. Not only is there a complete gene pool, but also the cells and sperm and eggs of champion pets from each stage or pets with great fame. So whether Chen Xi wants to replicate one or wants their offspring, it is possible.
Chen Xi was astonished by Jin Yi's words, and he once again marveled at how amazing human methods were.
He looked down at the photos on the tablet, which were all of the champion pets from the time when humans existed.
Those pets that can become champions usually have something particularly outstanding about them. They are either exceptionally good-looking or exceptionally intelligent. In short, they are far from being ordinary. Chenxi was stunned by their good looks at first glance.
Finally, Chenxi took a liking to a Persian cat that was exceptionally beautiful, with snow-white, fluffy fur, clear blue eyes, and an extremely aloof and noble appearance.
Chenxi chose to have its offspring. This Persian cat was a female. Jin Yi used a genetic algorithm to present several best-matched partners on the tablet. Chenxi chose a Persian cat that was equally beautiful. Then everything was done. Chenxi just needed to wait for the time to receive the kitten.
After her wish to have a pet was fulfilled, Chenxi was happy for a long time, and then continued to immerse herself in the virtual world.
Since entering the virtual world, Chenxi lay there motionless for a long time, the room so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Jin Yi looked at Chen Xi's quiet figure with a complicated expression. In fact, the way Chen Xi had been engrossed in the virtual world during this period was the most familiar human being to them.
In the past, the thing humans did most often was to immerse themselves in the virtual world in such extreme silence, day after day.
Seeing Chen Xi's daily activities becoming more and more like those of a human, Jin Yi couldn't help but feel anxious, even fearful.
After all, it was through this kind of daily routine that humanity chose to perish.
But now, Chenxi seems to be following the same old path.
This is an extremely dangerous signal.
Finally, Jin Yi frowned and pondered. Perhaps he should take Chen Xi to see the outer universe.
