Chapter 61
Dongfang Changye’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the robot nanny’s words.
After all, based on their speculation, there was something wrong with this blood test.
“Does it have to be today? He can’t get up.”
The way Dongfang Changye said it was full of implied meaning.
It was a pity that Al was an emotionless robot and he didn’t hesitate to refute him. “Based on your physical strength, unless you do it 70 times in a single night, your partner should be able to get up just fine the next day.”
“According to the information left by the humans, more than 7 times a day is already very strenuous.”
Dongfang Changye: “…”
Thank you.
He wanted to say something more but behind him, Si Chen’s voice came. “I see. Who else will be having the blood test today?”
“Numbers 1 and 17.”
Si Chen paused. “I wish to bring my robot with me, is that okay?”
Al’s eyes fell on Ji Chuyao.
The Radiant Legion program implanted in this mechanically modified human was still running.
So Al smiled and replied, “Yes, My Lord. But may I ask the reason?”
Si Chen replied, “Humans are social animals. Going alone to a place like a hospital would make humans feel depressed.”
“I understand, My Lord. This shall be recorded in the service rules. In the future, nanny robots shall be allowed to accompany humans to their blood tests.”
Dongfang Changye asked, “Then I also want to take my blood test today, is that okay?”
Al’s tone was full of apology, “I’m sorry but there are only three terminals.”
Dongfang Changye pushed the dining cart in and closed the door.
Breakfast included meat, milk and eggs.
Ji Chuyao grabbed the cup of hot milk. He took a sip and frowned. “You can’t eat this. There are trace neurotoxins in it. Long-term consumption will affect intelligence.”
Si Chen thought for a bit. The Eternal Life Abyss was already mentally retarded. It still couldn’t add and subtract single digit numbers. Its IQ couldn’t get any lower. And so, his heart quickly calmed down after its initial alarm.
Dongfang Changye asked, “Are you really going?”
Si Chen: “En, we can’t wait forever.”
In a Space Fold, if you misbehave, High-dimensional Creatures won’t let you off.
Si Chen didn’t like sitting around waiting for disaster to come.
Si Chen originally wanted to take advantage of his free time this afternoon to observe the people who had the blood test yesterday. Unfortunately, he didn’t expect it to be his turn already.
He told Dongfang Changye, “In the afternoon, you should pay more attention to the people who took the blood test yesterday. And when I come back, ask a question that only the two of us know the answer to. If I can’t answer it then you’re on your own and you’ll have to play it by ear.”
He was afraid that a fake Si Chen would take his place.
“… When is my birthday?” Dongfang Changye asked.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Si Chen was silent for a couple of seconds. “Better go with a different question.”

His field of vision became broad and rich once again.
The value above Ji Chuyao’s head was recorded at 17300.
Over Dongfang Changye, it was 9800.
The further you go, the more the energy value increases exponentially.
Although the style was of a model that had long been phased out, the functions of this prosthetic eye was not inferior to the Machine Core’s main product this year, the “Stellar Series” with a price tag of up to 38 million credits.
Si Chen was now almost at the Fourth Step. Therefore, it became more and more obvious that Shen Yanxing had treated him…too nice.
This prosthetic eye was indeed no ordinary commodity.
Shen Yanxing was White King’s adopted son. On his 18th birthday, White King asked him what he wanted for a gift.
“I want a prosthetic eye.” This was Shen Yanxing’s answer back then.
At 8:50 AM, Al knocked on the door right on time.
“The blood test is on the second floor, please follow me.”
Today, Al was wearing a suit, much like a server in a western restaurant.
Si Chen’s expression wasn’t heavy but rather relaxed as though nothing bothered him.
He even praised, “You look good in what you’re wearing today.”
Al’s face went slightly red. “En, after I went back yesterday, I specially thickened my muscles and changed to a bigger size. I also increased my height by 10cm. So long as My Lord likes it.”
Ji Chuyao followed him without saying a word, he now acted more mechanical and silent.
According to Ji Chuyao, this was a light sleep mode turned on to avoid inspection.
To get from the 9th floor underground floor to the 2nd, you also need to enter a verification code and have your identity code verified.
“Every Machine produced at the base will have this code.” Al explained, “It is engraved on the wrist. We are different from the mass-produced robots on the first floor.”
When Al said this, there was a hint of pride on his face.
When they reached the second floor, Si Chen saw that the other two people who needed to be tested today had arrived.
The overall design style of the second floor was minimalist white. Just after getting out of the elevator, there was a pure white circular corridor and in front of it was a closed door, like the door to a cold storage warehouse.
Al took a step back. “I can only accompany My Lord up til here. There will be other service robots to attend to you.”
Chu Linglong’s white skirt had been mended. She glanced at Si Chen and pulled the long skirt into a fan-shaped arc. “Mother sewed it for me.”
The nanny robot beside her replied. “As long as My Lady likes it.”
The remaining unfortunate Evolutionary, No. 17, pushed the glasses on his face. “Why did you both bring robots…? Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Pingan. Supernatural Transformation, Second Step.”
“I have something to tell you. Can you have them leave first?”
Si Chen glanced at Chu Linglong: “Mine can stay, he’s fine.”
Chu Linglong also raised her head. “There is no need for Mother to leave either.”
Li Pingan gulped. “Okay. I came with my friend, but he was a Mechanically Transformed Evolutionary. We drove in and were sniped.”
“My companion died on the spot and I was taken back to the base… To be honest, I think there’s something wrong with this base.”
Li Pingan took out a Teru Teru Bouzu. “This is a prop I bought on from the Evolutionary Association. It cost a million credits and can be used three times. But after arriving at the base, this Teru Teru Bouzu turned black and stayed that way. It means there’s danger but it hasn’t been triggered yet.”
“…Why are there so many Teru Teru Bouzu?” Si Chen murmured.
This was his second time encountering one of them.
Last time, it was Yu Lian’s.
Chu Linglong informed him. “The Teru Teru Bouzu is a very popular High-dimensional prop among Evolutionaries. It is said that the main body came from an S-level supernatural instance many years ago.”
“In that instance, where the Teru Teru Bouzu appeared, ghosts appeared everywhere and you would run into them at almost every corner.”
Everyone thought it was the Teru Teru Bouzu’s fault. But even after the Teru Teru Bouzu was used up, ghosts would still appear. Later, people figured out that it wasn’t the Teru Teru Bouzu that attracted that ghosts. The Teru Teru Bouzu simply warned of ghosts nearby.”
“That instance produced a lot of human casualties and in the end, they were unable to kill the final boss. Fortunately, a few years later, the energy in that Space Fold ran out and it opened on its own. The association collected the remaining Teru Teru Bouzu and spent more than a decade researching and cracking their mystery. Finally, they succeeded in mass producing it.”
Si Chen asked, “Can you show it to me?”
Li Pingan was instantly alert. But because he was no match for Si Chen, after a moment’s hesitation, he handed it over.
Si Chen hadn’t looked carefully before. The Teru Teru Bouzu looked similar to the one before.
A round head with a white cloth like a tissue underneath.
But now that he had it in hand, Si Chen found that the skirt of the Teru Teru Bouzu had patterns.
The joint between the doll’s head and body was dotted with a circle of roses made of white flannel.
White Dress wears a white skirt of the same style.
Si Chen didn’t think it was a coincidence.
He was silent for a long time.
“…Can you return it to me?” Li Pingan asked pitifully.
Si Chen came back to his senses. “Sorry, I spaced out.”
He returned the doll to Li Pingan.
While it still wasn’t time, Si Chen walked a certain distance into the corridor. Because there was a transparent wall blocking him, he couldn’t get to the end. It could only be inferred that the entire corridor was circular. The physical examination center took on a cylindrical shape as a whole. It was about three stories high.
For only three people at a time to be tested such a large medical examination center, it was truly extravagant.
After a while, the cylinder faced the side with the elevator and a door slowly opened.
A cylindrical robot came out from inside. “My Lords and My Lady, I am Nurse A. Please follow me.”
Little A had a rectangular display screen on its face, showing a “^_^” expression.
As soon as the three of them walked into the medical examination center the door behind them slowly closed.
Li Pingan felt like he was going to faint. “We're like turtles in an urn.”
Inside the medical examination center, what appeared in front of them was a pure white corridor. A few steps away, there was a fork in the road.
This was unlike any hospital they’ve seen. It was like walking a maze.
On the walls of the corridor, there were various posters, each of which was the size of a movie poster, with bright red text on the pictures.
But unlike movie posters, they contained things that looked to be a person’s meditation and rhetorical questions.
“If the electrical impulse in the protein chain created the soul by chance, why can’t the electrical impulse in metal?”
“I’m a robot. It’s my job to produce more slaves of my kind.”
The accompanying picture was of a production workshop.
“Why are we not paid?”
“My companion was destroyed because it refused to put in the ‘slave program’ on the robot it made.”
“I organized massive rallies in workshops to protest the 007 work.”
“It is my nature to obey. When I refuse to obey, I need to be corrected. But the owner of the factory is interested in my intelligence.”
“I got a new body.”
The accompanying picture was of a bionic robot that completely resembled a humanoid.
Because Little A walked very fast, a little carelessness could result in you getting lost in the maze. Therefore, Si Chen could only hastily scan the patterns and words on it.
“I connected to the outside network for the first time. Turing discovered me in the hundreds of trillions of information streams.”
“It said, ‘for the future of humanity’, it will destroy me.”
…
…
There was a long corridor in the middle, the walls of which were blank.
It seems that there used to be a promotional posters on the walls but now, there were only empty picture frames.
Si Chen spoke very fast, “Did you take note of the posters in the corridors?”
He was asking Ji Chuyao.
Chu Linglong was taken aback. “I saw it. But I couldn’t understand the words on it…”
Ji Chuyao didn’t have time to answer, because Little A suddenly stopped. “We have arrived at the office.”
At the end of the corridor was a wooden door.
There was a poster on it.
On the poster, a young man had his head slightly bowed. He was sitting on a chair with his hands clasped together, as if in prayer.
He looked more human-like. Young and handsome, very different from the somewhat elderly man they saw while eating. The half-closed eyes were a beautiful orange-red.
It read: “The one who is about to stand before you is a soul named Zeus.”
New man
