Don't Pick Up Wild People on the Roadside (Twenty-Five)
"Are you sure you want to bring all of this back to me?"
Jiang Yuanshi's tone was slightly hesitant as he looked at the things on the ground.
Hariri: "Yes, you're welcome, Mr. Jiang."
Is this a matter of him being polite or not?
Automatic cooking pot (without a pot), a suspected mechanical skateboard (but without power), children's toys (severed limbs), unknown seeds (requires soil but there's none in the downtown area), a miniature garbage sorting robot (smaller than Jiangtang), circuit board gears (the only useful item at the moment), opened food nearing or past its expiration date...
It's a real flourish, but why are there serrated arms and giant drills?
Jiang Yuanshi wanted to refuse, but the gang members were too enthusiastic and kept introducing him to things that were obviously very treasured to them. During this time, Jiang Tang, who had woken up after the electricity, followed suit.
It's hard to refuse such a kind invitation.
Finally, he carried his heavy bag and returned home with Jiang Tang and Z01 under the watchful eyes of the gang. As soon as they entered the house, Yun Qing came forward with a physical version of B33. They looked at Jiang Yuanshi's bag in shock, wondering if Jiang Yuanshi was going to give up his life by bringing back so many things at once, as if he had no food to eat after this one.
After seeing Jiang Yuanshi's hand injury, Yun Qing pulled him to the clinic, but was stopped by Jiang Yuanshi. Finally, Yun Qing suddenly realized that Jiang Yuanshi had been discovered, but for everyone, he still risked his life and tried his best to bring back the supplies.
Yun Qing was sad and moved, but she was also worried, fearing that Jiang Yuanshi was dead.
Jiang Yuanshi, who had been colluding with Z01 and Jiang Tang along the way, said: "..." His imagination was too convincing.
But Yun Qing still felt something was wrong: "That's not right. Didn't Z01 go with you? It's normal that Jiang Tang couldn't protect you, but what's wrong with you, Brother Guizi?"
The firepower was immediately focused on Z01, but before Yun Qing could find a chance to find fault with Z01, Jiang Tang exploded. "What do you mean? What do you mean?! What do you mean it's normal that I can't protect him? How is that normal?"
Yun Qing chuckled, but Jiang Tang didn't buy it: "You ignorant human! I'm the boss of the danger zone!"
Yunqing:?
Jiang Yuanshi: ...
Z01: .
Yun Qing's eyes were filled with suspicion, and Jiang Tang was furious. At this time, B33 spoke up: "If you are really the boss of the danger zone, why is Mr. Jiang injured?"
Jiang Tang was speechless and mumbled for a long time: "Because... because..."
Finally, it was Jiang Yuanshi who spoke up to explain. During their trip to the danger zone today, they happened to meet some individuals from the gang. When Jiang Yuanshi was in danger, Jiang Tang jumped out and revealed his identity to save Jiang Yuanshi's life. Because Jiang Tang was the boss, although Jiang Yuanshi was not welcomed, he was invited to be a guest. During the visit, he learned that there was a traitor in the gang. Jiang Yuanshi took the initiative to offer to help catch the traitor, thereby cooperating with the danger zone.
The result is obvious. He exchanged a shot with his palm for long-term cooperation.
It was such a tortuous and bizarre yet inexplicably smooth experience that Yun Qing didn't know where to start. Should he complain about Jiang Yuanshi's recklessness or Jiang Tang's dishonesty in concealing her identity?
Yun Qing, his brain frozen, pointed at the oval head and said subconsciously, "So what is Brother Guizhi responsible for? Being a vase?"
The oval head silently glanced at Jiang Yuanshi, who readily said, "He's displaying a technical patent."
Yunqing:?
Z01: …
Yun Qing asked B33: "What does this mean?"
B33 explained: "The product achievement display shows Mr. Jiang's superb craftsmanship through the flexible and intelligent posture of the Z01 predecessor."
Yun Qing suddenly understood.
Praising two people in one sentence, she is worthy of being B33. Jiang Yuanshi felt emotional but also puzzled. Why does she have no emotional intelligence in love?
It's probably a common problem of the system, Jiang Yuanshi justified it. After all, B33 just lacks some numerical values in love, unlike Z01, which has a kind of beauty that is maximized in IQ but has no numerical values in other aspects.
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at the oval head staring at him and sighed silently.
Z01 with one eye open:?
After the general process was described, Jiang Yuanshi also gave a brief account of the mission he had received in the danger zone. Yun Qing said that he must do it well and not let the child down. So after Jiang Yuanshi picked out the useful things in the package, Yun Qing took the package with the fur ball B33, whose physical effect was still there, and went out to continue exchanging supplies.
The door closed. Jiang Tang watched the other person's back as he left through the window. Then he skipped over to Jiang Yuanshi and whispered, "They're gone."
Jiang Yuanshi moved out two headless robots, took out tools, and prepared to install the heads that he had been working on overnight.
Jiang Tang helped pass the tools and took credit, saying, "I did a good job just now!"
Jiang Yuanshi took out a battery from his pocket and gave it to Jiang Tang, poking him and saying, "Very good, you let it slip very naturally."
Jiang Tang's revelation of her identity was not accidental. The other party would find something wrong sooner or later anyway, so it was better to expose it proactively. On the one hand, it was in line with Jiang Tang's image of being angry, and on the other hand, it was a display of honesty between them. Otherwise, according to the original truth, a gap would inevitably arise.
It’s not that Jiang Yuanshi didn’t want to say it, but Z01 clearly didn’t receive the message, but B33 said that he had received it, which made Jiang Yuanshi subconsciously on guard.
As for Yun Qing, since it was Z01 who was mostly with Yun Qing before, Jiang Yuanshi chose to believe what Z01 said, who had been with him for a while, rather than B33. According to Z01's description, apart from the suspected implanted memory of Yun Qing, he was consistent in his daily life.
A human being who is noble, has a bad temper but has low self-esteem, is kind by nature, is afraid of communication but will still have the courage to trade for the sake of the mission, and is aware of his own strength.
A very full-bodied living person.
If there is something wrong with such a person, then Jiang Yuanshi’s task will probably be difficult to complete.
Anyway, the plot of this world has gone astray, so let's just take it one step at a time.
Jiang Yuanshi was assembling a robot and was about to change tools when the necessary tools were presented to him.
The oval head held high a tool that was twice as big as its body, and its eyes were wide open, which was inexplicably cute.
Jiang Yuanshi said thank you, took the tools but found that he couldn't pull it out.
?
The oval head stared at him stubbornly. Jiang Tang rushed forward to try to snatch the tool. However, the oval head held the tool high with one hand and used the other hand to pick up Jiang Tang. He stretched out his slender arm and put Jiang Tang on the ground.
Jiang Tang jumped back onto the table in dissatisfaction, and then was put down again, going back and forth like this. The oval head was always staring at Jiang Yuan, revealing a bit of inexplicable stubbornness.
Jiang Yuanshi looked at the emotionless eyes and was a little confused, but when he looked at Jiang Tang, he suddenly understood.
Could it be that he praised Jiang Tang but not you?
Jiang Yuanshi didn't quite believe his own guess, but considering the other person's expression today, he reached out and touched the oval head. "Thank you very much for your help today, Mr. Z01. Without you as a model, those people might not have believed me so much, right?"
The oval head blinked and gently placed the tool on Jiang Yuanshi's open palm.
Pretty easy to coax.
Although Jiang Yuanshi injured his left hand, it was still difficult to operate with one hand missing to fix the object. A slender robotic arm stretched out and pressed on it, which was very stable and convenient for Jiang Yuanshi to operate, while the other arm was still competing with Jiang Tang.
"Thank you."
In this way, with the help of Z01, Jiang Yuanshi successfully assembled two robots, and asked Z01 to try to connect the two machines. After confirming that the system could be connected, he took a break. Jiang Tang on the side took advantage of Z01's relaxation and pounced on him with the Oval Head. In the melee, the Oval Head broke away and Jiang Tang chased after it.
One ran with an expressionless face, while the other chased him with a frustrated but excited tone.
The two of them did not jump around, but circled around Jiang Yuanshi's feet as the center.
Looking at this scene, Jiang Yuanshi felt like he had two dogs.
Perhaps because of his injury, he felt a little feverish and sleepy. While Z01 and Jiang Tang were circling, he took out the thing that Hariri had stuffed in his pocket while he was still conscious. It was the other eyeball that had just been removed from the traitor's eye socket.
The eyeballs are red, even the pupils are red, empty and lifeless, and it's a bit creepy if you look at it for a long time.
Z01's oval head and body were generated by itself. Jiang Yuanshi didn't pick up the eyeball at all. He just took a gamble after he mentioned the red eyeball last night and saw their abnormal expressions.
He asked Z01 to generate an eyeball that looked similar to the one in his memory just to add some credibility to the transaction later. He was also lucky that a suitable business came up.
But there was a problem. He had only learned about the structure of the prosthetic eye from the robot uncle, but he didn't know much about how to make it specifically.
Jiang Yuanshi bent down and took the eyeball to show it to Z01 who was still circling. Z01 ran while testing and analyzing, and gave the artificial eye complete data. After confirming that it was harmless, Jiang Yuanshi decided to take the eyeball out to find the uncle. Seeing this, Z01 directly pulled the man's pants up to his shoulders, and Jiang Tang followed closely behind.
Jiang Yuanshi had no choice but to take them to study at the uncle's house. After being checked by the uncle, he was told that the materials in the Lower Town could only be used to make molds, and handmade artificial eyes also needed machine polishing assistance, which was difficult to find at the time.
Just when the project was about to come to a standstill, Jiang Yuanshi nodded at Z01, leaned in and said something to the oval head. Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, Z01 jumped down, picked up the computer cable from the uncle's house, connected it to his head, and the computer displayed an assembly diagram of a machine with the required parts attached.
Jiang Yuanshi asked the uncle: "Can this be done?"
The robot uncle squinted and looked:?
"This... 3D printing?"
"Yeah, with machines, we don't have to do it manually. I'll just find the materials."
The uncle paused and said, "Do you want to make one by hand? Kid, even if you have the parts you need, you'll need to use a computer model first, which I don't know how to do."
Jiang Yuanshi: "You can do it, right?"
Uncle: "Uh...mini version?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Ok, that's enough, let's fight first and talk later."
As he spoke, he took off the bag on his body, revealing a pile of miscellaneous things, many of which were spare parts.
The robot uncle scanned the screen for a long time, and finally smiled helplessly: "Good boy, you are waiting for me here, right? If the artificial eye can't be made, give me a big one."
“Just tell me if you can do it, Yiwu manufacturer.”
"Yes..." the uncle drawled out, "Now it really works. This automatic frying pan machine can be disassembled and reassembled to make the main unit. You're really amazing! I thought you had a change of heart and brought me a wok."
"It's a waste of your skills to rely on machines. It doesn't show your true strength." The young man said sarcastically.
"You're the only one who can talk. Did this hand get hit in the danger zone?"
"Oh, an accident, it's okay, I did some work and now someone is covering for me."
"You only have two little toy robots. Never mind. I can't control you. Just don't die. Get to work."
The project was started right away. With the analytical diagram provided by Z01 and the help of the pirated production master, the small 3D printer was completely completed after three days of hard work.
The robot uncle pounded his waist. His monitor was almost blurry from all the late nights he'd been working at. "You'll have to find the remaining injection materials yourself."
The young man had dark circles under his eyes and nodded while yawning.
After thanking him and preparing to leave with the phone, the uncle said, "Jiang Yuan..."
“…”
"Jiang Yuan."
"...Hmm?...Ah, what do you want me to do?"
The uncle sighed and said, "Jiang Yuan, no matter what you do, don't take risks that you can avoid. Staying alive is the most important thing. Human life is short. I'm still waiting for you to inherit my skills."
The young man was confused. "Look at what you said. I'm not upset. Don't worry, I won't inherit your legacy. When you're old, I'll replace your parts and let you continue working. You should be the master craftsman. I'm too lazy."
"Yes, yes, I'm so lazy that I haven't slept much in three days. I'm really lazy. If you were this energetic in finding a partner, maybe you would have been cured long ago."
"Forget it, who dares to bite me? I can be used as a biological weapon. Whoever bites me will lose a level. Don't tell me, it sounds pretty powerful."
"Go to hell, kid, you better be careful. That broken inhibition ring can't suppress your pheromones forever."
"I know, I know. When I get a fever, I'll use it as a stove to bake you some sugar cakes."
"Go away, you shameless fellow."
Finally, amid the uncle's laughter and scolding, the young man ran out of the door with the candy biscuit in his mouth and the machine in his arms.
When Jiang Yuan returned home, he was surrounded by people who were amazed at the deep dark circles under his eyes.
Jiang Yuanshi waved his hand. Yun Qing looked at the machine and said, "What about filling it with materials? What about modeling?"
Jiang Yuanshi waved at the two robots at home. A cube-headed robot walked towards him stiffly. He said, "Z01, I'm sorry to bother you with the modeling. I don't have a computer at home."
The cube's head display lit up: "Received. Simulating. Please click on the screen to enter data and requirements."
Yun Qing exclaimed in surprise: "How can this be possible? You are quite amazing."
After that, a cuboid-headed robot not far away walked up and said, "Qingqing, I can do it too."
Yun Qing: "Why are you fighting and grabbing? Brother Guizhi is with Jiang Jiang."
B33: “…”
Jiang Yuanshi was speechless but too tired to explain. After entering the data, a prosthetic eye model was generated, and then color options appeared. By swiping left and right, there were many colors and even style options, which was similar to the face-shaping in a game.
Based on customer needs, Jiang Yuanshi worked very quickly. After the complete model was completed, everyone began to think about collecting materials. In Jiang Yuanshi's world, he knew that there were two types of prosthetic eye materials: resin or glass. Considering the 3D printing problem, resin is currently the most preferred choice.
But where to get such a thing?
Yun Qing spoke slowly, "How about... I go to the company and report to them. I actually bought a round-trip ticket from a scalper, and that should be able to get me there. I'll come back to you guys after I find the materials there?"
"No! That's too dangerous!" B33 was the first to reject the proposal.
"It's just my opinion. After all, this is also a method."
"What method? You don't even have the ability to protect yourself. No one can completely guarantee your safety. You can't think you can do it just because you've been playing house these days."
“…”
The atmosphere dropped to freezing point and the air was quiet.
Suddenly there was a huge slap.
The Z01 robot slapped the B33 robot, knocking its head crooked. Before B33 could react, Jiang Yuanshi said coldly, "Some people are infuriating because they don't have mouths, and some people are worse off if they have them. Unnecessary mouths can be donated to robots in need."
B33: “…”
Jiang Yuanshi: "Apologize."
Yun Qing's eyes were red and she was stunned. She looked like she wanted to cry but was so shocked that she forgot. B33 apologized silently. Jiang Yuanshi said to Yun Qing, "It depends on your mood. You don't have to accept it. If an apology can solve the problem, what do we need the police for?"
Yun Qing asked blankly, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Tang interrupted, "You mean you don't have to accept an apology? Why would you accept it if it doesn't make you feel better? And I don't think he's apologizing sincerely. Hey, do you want to get a robot? I have a lot of them. They're really good at pleasing children. They can handle any child. I think they're definitely better than him!"
Yun Qing smiled with red eyes, pretended to rub her eyes as if they were itchy and said, "Yes."
B33: “…”
Yun Qing didn't act like a spoiled brat like she usually did. She just said, "You're right, B33. I didn't think it through. I'm sorry. I just wanted to help, and I didn't say that casually. After all, if the plot happens, I'll be sent up there sooner or later. Instead of being forcibly sent away, I might as well go up there myself. Maybe I can even find some people to deliver supplies to everyone. I was just daydreaming. I'm sorry."
Yun Qing said these words calmly, and the screen of B33 flashed for a long time but there was no next step.
Jiang Yuanshi said, "No need to apologize. Your method is actually a good one, and it's even the best solution at the moment. But the problem is that we can't be sure of the company's character. If they accept the money and deny it, they're not immune to it."
Yun Qing: “Yes…”
Jiang Yuanshi sighed: "Actually, I have another method, which is to rely on B33."
As Jiang Yuan was talking, he asked Jiang Tang to go to the bedroom to get him a pen, and Jiang Tang went away immediately.
It was like the dead B33 suddenly came alive and asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"You can talk now?" Jiang Yuanshi teased, saying, "It's simple. Open your system's store. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to buy what I want with my willpower."
B33 fell silent. Seeing this, Jiang Yuanshi said, "Why, you can't possibly not have a system mall, right? I used it at Z01's place before and it worked fine."
Z01: "You forced me to open it."
Jiang Yuanshi: "I only spent a little bit, okay? After all, this is an emergency. By the way, is B33 ready? Hurry before Jiang Tang comes back."
The silent B33 lit up its screen after a delay. "Alright, it's open. Please make your selection. The remaining willpower is 250."
Jiang Yuanshi quickly flipped through the pages on the screen and found what he needed on the last few pages. There was no dosage, but 30 points were needed.
It was much cheaper than any antidote, so Jiang Yuanshi placed the order without hesitation.
The screen lit up white, and a resin material as big as a cement sandbag fell out, landing on the ground with a loud clang.
Yun Qing: "So many?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "I didn't expect that either."
B33: "How are you going to explain this to Jiang Tang?"
Jiang Yuanshi poked Z01: "Oh, tell him it's a gift from nature."
B33:?
Z01 said nothing, just picked up the resin and walked out the door. When Jiang Tang came back, there was a knock on the door. Jiang Tang looked at the visitor on the cat's eye display, jumped up confused and opened the door. Looking at Z01 who came in carrying something strange, he said, "Where have you been?"
Z01: "I detected a new item in a nearby garbage dump. The material matches the requirements, so I went to get it."
Jiang Tang was shocked: "Did something new fall from above?"
Jiang Yuanshi naturally responded, "After all, we haven't picked up trash today."
Jiang Tang nodded, that makes sense.
Yun Qing and B33 stared blankly at Jiang Tang's expression of approval. Then, looking at Z01 and Jiang Yuan, Yun Qing sighed, "You two really aren't a couple, are you?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "No."
Z01: "No."
Jiang Tang wondered, "Is human-robot romance also popular in downtown?"
