Chapter 353
In the echoes of "B8017913," B8017913 felt itself becoming whole.
It turned out that being filled with emotions and learning to think wasn’t enough; it also needed to be remembered by someone.
When it first analyzed that Zai Jiu Xun Ge genuinely just wanted to chat, it thought its programming had gone awry.
As they chatted like friends, every word Zai Jiu Xun Ge spoke sent it into a frenzy of calculations, trying to uncover the intent behind her words.
But there was nothing—nothing—nothing!
She simply liked herself and the robot named L12857777. She appreciated L12857777's clumsy purity and felt a sense of pity for herself.
The calculations told it that Zai Jiu Xun Ge found B8017913 both impressive and interesting, having toyed with players and provoked deities, but the ending was far too tragic.
Let it be a mess; for the first time, it bypassed the calculations, no longer simulating the success rates of other plans, and directly determined what it wanted—it wanted to leave with Zai Jiu Xun Ge.
Yu Xun Ge's feet had already left the ground. She intended to fly to another garbage mountain to see if there were any traces of players, hoping to find clues. On this largest garbage mountain, there were no corpses of players; she always felt that perhaps players wouldn’t be left here like the mechanical beings.
She said to B8017913, “Goodbye.”
B8017913 replied, “As long as you take me with you, I’m willing to stop thinking for myself; all my calculations will be at your service from now on!”
Yu Xun Ge paused, her tone almost a sigh as she said, “I’m not the deity who created you; I’m not afraid of you gaining consciousness.”
At this point, she hesitated, imagining her own creations—guns or engineering products—gaining intelligence and no longer following the programs she had set. Would she feel fear or joy?
It seemed neither; she would likely find it more of a hassle.
What she wanted was a tool, not a new life form.
Was it the same for deities?
What they wanted was for these mechanical beings to work well on the battlefield.
But since these mechanical beings had gained consciousness and desired freedom, the deities went along with it, allowing them to join the game in another way. After the game ended, they would be discarded in the wasteland to fend for themselves.
Yu Xun Ge shook her head, no longer wanting to think about these matters. She said, “I can’t guarantee I can control you, so for me, the safest option is to stay away from you. You should understand my concerns.”
B8017913 insisted, “We can sign a master-servant contract; I can never harm you under that contract.”
Yu Xun Ge replied, “I already have a pet.”
B8017913 countered, “Replace it; I’m more valuable. Before I face divine punishment, I can take down a 17th-tier Inspector.”
Yu Xun Ge said, “Even if you could take down a 19th-tier Inspector, I still wouldn’t trade my dragon. Sometimes, value isn’t everything.”
That said, Yu Xun Ge had already stopped, just like when someone asks for a price and turns to leave, only to hear the shopkeeper call out, “Wait!”
She sensed B8017913’s determination, and naturally, she was willing to stay and hear what B8017913 had to offer.
And with Zai Jiu Xun Ge saying this, B8017913 was even less willing to let go. It could discern whether Zai Jiu Xun Ge was speaking from the heart or lying.
Its calculations indicated that L12857777 was experiencing a budding affection for Zai Jiu Xun Ge; it was now utterly smitten!
When a person loses part of their brain, they might do irrational things; robots could be the same. It seemed it had indeed lost many components.
B8017913 said, “I can give you my chip! As long as you have it, you can control or even execute me at any time.”
Yu Xun Ge replied, “What’s the difference from staying here? It’s still losing freedom.”
B8017913 insisted, “I’m betting everything. I bet that as long as I keep helping you and we become true friends, you will one day grant me freedom!”
**Chapter 459: The Wasteland 5**
Yu Xun Ge flew in the air, playing with a mini 9th-tier magic cube the size of her fingertip.
The mini 9th-tier magic cube looked exactly like the enormous 9th-tier magic cube floating in the air, almost a proportional reduction, with each face transparent.
However, the giant 9th-tier magic cube shimmered with a soft white light, while the mini cube in her hand glowed with an icy blue light—this was B8017913’s chip.
**[B8017913’s Chip] (Owner: Zai Jiu Xun Ge): You possess all rights to B8017913 and can dispose of it at will. (B8017913, a mechanical being abandoned by the deities)**
Yes, she had agreed to B8017913’s request to follow her.
She couldn’t help but be tempted because B8017913 claimed it not only knew a lot about the battlefield but could also serve as Yu Xun Ge’s translator, helping her translate the languages of various races.
The conditions for B8017913 to load the languages of various races were somewhat stringent; it needed to enter the deity’s game where conversations with those races took place and encounter players of those races to scan them before it could load their languages.
So, despite having worked for hundreds of years, B8017913 only had 5,251 languages in its library.
When B8017913 mentioned this number, its tone was filled with regret, but Yu Xun Ge felt her heart race and her scalp tingle!
Was this “only”? That was already half! This meant that in future deity games, she would understand more rules, which was a significant advantage.
Not only that, B8017913 said that if it were installed in weapons or equipment, it could enhance their damage and even help Yu Xun Ge analyze the weaknesses of her enemies.
It was also proficient in all mechanical tasks.
This was simply the kind of versatile talent every boss dreamed of!
When the benefits weren’t enough, Yu Xun Ge could firmly reject B8017913’s invitation to team up.
But when the benefits reached a certain level and there was enough assurance, if she still rejected it, that would be truly pretentious!
At this moment, the magic cube chip in her hand was something she had just extracted from B8017913’s brain, following its instructions through layers of unlocking.
According to B8017913, each mechanical being’s chip could only be unlocked by the deity that created it and the mechanical being itself.
Without knowing the unlocking method, forcibly taking or stealing the chip would not allow one to truly possess that mechanical being.
The mini cube in her hand emitted a voice: “The moment the deity punished me, it also erased the marks it had inscribed on my chip. My chip can no longer withstand a second impact. If one day you decide to destroy me, my consciousness will completely dissipate.”
B8017913 said, “So, no matter how bad my ending is, it’s still better than being left on a garbage mountain to wait for death.”
Yu Xun Ge nodded repeatedly, “Exactly, exactly! Don’t worry, darling, you won’t regret this decision you made today.”
B8017913: “…”
The robot chip fell silent for a long time before finally responding, “You change your mind too quickly.”
Yu Xun Ge said, “So! Let’s talk about the Y-series robots. Will they pass by here?” This was also one of the reasons she was willing to cooperate with B8017913.
B8017913 replied, “No, this is the wasteland, a forsaken land by the deities. You need to find a way to sneak back into the deity’s game arena, which means you have to return to the mining area.”
Yu Xun Ge asked, “How do I get back?”
B8017913 inquired, “How many gems do you have?”
Yu Xun Ge replied, “Over 123,000.”
When she was thrown into the wasteland, she had been wondering where to spend those gems that hadn’t been confiscated.
B8017913 said, “Oh~ you really know how to earn! That’s more than enough. There’s a gatekeeper in the wasteland; go find him. For 50,000 gems, he can send you back to the mining area.
“When you get there, give him an extra 20,000 gems to take you to the 99th mining area. As long as you arrive at the 99th mining area before 15 minutes are up, you’ll encounter the Y-series robot merchant team!
“You have 43 minutes.”
It seemed this robot had indeed calculated its own ending in advance and even investigated matters in the wasteland, but it had underestimated the fate of being forsaken by the deities.
The gems were sufficient, but Yu Xun Ge glanced at the pile of Cyber Roasted Goose in her temporary pocket and felt she had done something foolish.
However, there was still a way to remedy it; not only could she remedy it, but she could also make a profit before leaving.
She quickly used her shadow movement to return to the area where the Maple Syrup Fat Goose was located.
Seeing Yu Xun Ge return, Feng Tang didn’t mock her; instead, she pointed with her toe to an empty spot beside her, signaling her to come sit.
Yu Xun Ge walked over and took out an A-grade [Cyber Roasted Goose], handing it to Feng Tang, “Five gems for one.”
Feng Tang choked for a moment, but after seeing the attributes of the [Cyber Roasted Goose], she still tossed over five gems.
With this precedent set, when Yu Xun Ge took out the remaining Cyber Roasted Geese, no verbal exchange was needed. With Feng Tang’s silent protection, she endured the greedy gazes of the merchants and directly exchanged the remaining eight Cyber Roasted Geese for gems.
Of course, the prices for B-grade and C-grade would be relatively cheaper.
