Chapter 140 The gift has been delivered, but...
Ning Shuyin looked down and immediately covered herself with her arm in embarrassment.
Situ Linchen reacted quickly, reaching out to restrain the robot's arm.
The little robot doing chores was caught in the air by the Alliance Marshal, its clumsy movements as it spun around were quite amusing.
Situ Linchen politely avoided looking at her, saying, "Go change your clothes first, I'll readjust the robot's program."
Ning Shuyin blushed slightly, nodded, and ran towards the bedroom.
After she took a quick shower and changed into casual clothes, she could hear creaking noises coming from the living room from afar.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Situ Linchen was half-squatting next to Xiao N.
Little N, who had caused the trouble, was restrained by a three-section staff made of energy that he had conjured using his supernatural power, its base spinning futilely in the air.
Ning Shuyin could hardly believe her eyes.
The supernatural weapons used on the battlefield to deal with the leaders of alien beasts or the super strong people are now being used to... trap a home robot that is running around.
Situ Linchen's fingertips were still rapidly manipulating the control panel.
Seeing Ning Shuyin come down, he said casually, "It will be ready soon."
With his final maneuvers, Little N's chassis wheels finally came to a stop. The robot's facial display screen went completely dark before a reboot screen appeared.
Situ Linchen's energy fluctuated for a moment, and the energy arc that formed the three-section staff was easily withdrawn into his body.
"The logic has been corrected, so there shouldn't be any problems this time."
"Little N, please prepare two more standard glasses of sweetened iced water," he instructed.
【Yes, that's all for the Marshal and Master.】
Little N's answer was much more accurate this time, and soon after, the drinks served did not have any more mistakes.
Situ Linchen's expression finally relaxed.
“Alright, let it send those gifts for you. I should head back to the Alliance now,” he said.
"Okay, I'll send it right away." Ning Shuyin nodded quickly.
As if to prove that these things were not left for her own use, she immediately turned on her personal computer and transmitted the addresses of Gu Lei and Su Qianqian to the household robot terminal.
"Little N, the perfume is for the professor, the rest are for Qianqian," she instructed.
[Master, command received, to be executed immediately.]
The robot's screen flashed as it began to systematically organize and scan the pile of items on the table.
Seeing this, Situ Linchen walked to the sofa, reached out and rolled up the black soft whip, put it into the combat pouch at his waist, then draped the coat he had taken off over his arm and took his leave.
Watching the apartment door close again, Ning Shuyin felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she collapsed onto the sofa.
The housekeeping robot is quite efficient; it has already packed both gifts.
To prevent a repeat of the tragedy, Ning Shuyin specially used an extra-large and extra-sturdy non-degradable cardboard box for Su Qianqian's portion.
After thinking for a few seconds, she added an electronic note to the gift box.
[Sweetie! Here's your new toy! It's time to unleash your true nature! —Shuyin]
After writing the note, Ning Shuyin covered her face, which felt like it was being steamed, and ran back to her bedroom.
Lying down on her soft bed, she turned on her personal terminal and began casually browsing the group messages sent by the Star Palace's navigators.
The message center has an "Adventure Quests" section.
"Diga Star Region, mineral vein exploration mission, requires perception level C or above, team mission, three-month cycle..."
"Fama Chamber of Commerce transport escort mission, requires Perception Level D, those with escort experience will be given priority..."
There are a wide variety of tasks with good pay, but most of them have requirements regarding the navigator's level and qualifications.
With her current officially certified F-level sensory ability, she doesn't even qualify to participate.
She turned the pages one by one and found that the Star Palace's missions did not include recruiting navigators with healing skills.
Although this skill is quite rare, it doesn't seem to be in high demand.
The trip to the Penrose Triangle had taken a toll on her physical and mental health.
Back in the safe environment, drowsiness quickly sets in.
The faint voice of a housekeeping robot interacting with the outside world could be heard from the living room downstairs, indicating that the delivery had probably been handed over to a logistics drone.
The task panel in front of her became increasingly blurry, and she soon drifted off to sleep.
In a place that ordinary people cannot reach.
In the quiet room on the highest floor of the sanctuary, three blurry figures sat around the circular council table.
“The implied successor… is growing too fast.” A hoarse, aged female voice rang out.
“Healing power is certainly valuable,” another voice continued, “but she is different from Jiang Yao; she is not someone we can control.”
"Then..."
A finger taps in the air. A coordinate point is enveloped in a black halo.
The three figures seemed to nod slightly at the same time.
Then, the light and shadow faded, and the quiet room returned to complete darkness. It was as if nothing had ever happened.
The next day, Ning Shuyin didn't get up until the afternoon.
Little N had already prepared lunch for her in advance. It has to be admitted, life with a housekeeping robot is fantastic.
[Good afternoon, Master. This is a nutritious meal prepared for you based on your schedule. Enjoy your meal.]
The food on the table looks very tempting.
The tender, juicy black pepper roasted pork ribs were perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The vegetables were highland asparagus and wild mushrooms lightly sautéed in butter.
The thick, sweet and savory chestnut and bacon soup was served with a small dish of wild plum sauce to cut through the richness, as well as vitamin gummies recommended based on her health data.
Ning Shuyin was eating and watching the news in the living room.
Big data pushed "daily newsletters" from extraterrestrial star systems to her.
The Tartarus Nebula underwent a dramatic transformation overnight.
The news report was written in a very official style. It mentioned that the Extraterrestrial Starfield Executive Committee conducted an internal security review last night.
The owners of the "Garden of Usurpation" redistributed control of commercial shipping routes on several channels.
Ning Shuyin roughly guessed what was going on.
This is Caesar's follow-up to the Penrose Triangle incident.
Those who betrayed him in his team have been purged with lightning speed.
In contrast to the turmoil outside the borders, the Interstellar Alliance remained calm and undisturbed.
Apart from the elimination of the You family, all the council members remained seated calmly and composed, which explains why Situ Linchen was so worried about the safety of the alliance.
In contrast, her attention was more focused on her main quest.
"System, is there any news?" She had asked the system several times since she woke up today.
[Host, still no response. You only sent the package yesterday, how could it be fast?]
“Fine…” Ning Shuyin resigned herself to her fate.
Suddenly, her wrist-mounted computer vibrated; it was a message from Su Qianqian.
Ning Shuyin was startled and opened it with great anticipation.
This is a status update. Su Qianqian, as projected, still has bright eyes and white teeth, and looks radiant.
She was holding a delicate glass bottle in her hand.
"Shuyin, the perfume you gave me smells so good, I feel like I've turned into a super sweet peach."
perfume?
Ning Shuyin replayed the message to confirm that she hadn't misread it.
The bottle of "Watery Peach" fragrance that Su Qianqian was holding was the one she had purchased from Xingwang.
But this perfume was the one she picked out for Gu Lei. Su Qianqian should have received...
Where was that box sent? With trembling fingers, Ning Shuyin opened the work log of the household robot.
She suddenly felt like the sky had fallen.
