Barry returned to his room with the apple pie.

As soon as he closed the door, Todge poked his head out of his pocket, and crawled out on his hands and feet.

Although Tochi is a robot, its movements are not stiff, and its limbs and joints are so flexible that it is completely unrecognizable that its whole body is made of metal.

Todge ran to the table and asked as he looked at Barry, who was sitting next to him eating apple pie.

"Is that female your mother?"

"yes, what's wrong." Barry didn't forget to eat as he spoke.

"Since she is your mother, it means that she is your creator, why did you deceive the other party just now, you obviously didn't help Huck get the toy along the way."

"I feel like the way you get along with each other is strange and incomprehensible."

Barry picked up another apple pie and tasted it in his mouth before turning to Todge and asking, "So how do you mechanical beings get along with each other?" ”

"The subordinates absolutely obey the orders of the superiors, and there will be no concealment or deception when reporting information, especially when facing the mechanical city where we are located, and all the information recorded will be uploaded."

After listening to Todge's story, Barry still didn't know how to answer the question he had just asked.

After all, the mechanical realm is a completely orderly and rigorous social structure, and the way of thinking of a mechanical life like Tochi is different from that of humans.

So Barry didn't answer directly, just vaguely and perfunctory.

"This is the basic way of human communication", "When you have lived in human society for a long time, you will understand it yourself", or "Occasional language art can bring you closer to each other"...

Although Barry didn't know what he meant by what he said, he managed to fool Toki, who had just come to this world.

It said with a red light in its eyes: "I know, I will remember them all, and I will feel them all from moment to moment, and strive to be able to understand the deep meaning of your actions as soon as possible." ”

Tocchi is excited right now, because in his opinion, Barry's previous remarks are nothing short of golden.

After all, I'm here to experience emotions, and if Barry breaks everything up and tells it about it, it will make it understand things more quickly.

However, this does not allow it to truly comprehend the essence, and in the end it can only float on the surface, rather than promote its evolution into a living being.

And only what you have personally perceived can be truly branded in your bones and let it gain a true soul.

Looking at its slightly excited appearance, Barry could only pretend to say, "The child is teachable." ”

I don't know if Barry doesn't know what the meaning of his actions is, and I don't know what Todge has in his head.

But it's still quite cool when Todge looks at it with adoring eyes.

Then Todge pointed to the apple pie on the table and asked curiously, "Do you eat these foods for energy?" ”

"This kind of thing is called... Apple pie. ”

It recalls the conversation between Barry and Mrs. Celine, saying the name of the apple pie by contrast.

"This is my mother's best dessert, the taste is incomparable, very delicious, as long as you eat one, you can't stop at all."

Barry nodded, then took out a piece of apple pie and placed it in front of Toki.

"Well, you don't have a mouth, you don't have a sense of taste, so you can't enjoy this delicacy."

Although the apple pie is very delicious, it is not as exaggerated as Barry said, otherwise these apple pie hacks would not have been able to keep Barry.

He said this more to tease Tocchi and see if the little robot would be really curious and want to try apple pie.

Barry wanted to pique Todge's curiosity and see that it couldn't ask for it, like a cat's claw scratching its heart.

I have to say, Barry also has a bit of a bad taste.

However, the little robot did not grasp Barry's intentions at all, and it was now speaking to Barry in a serious manner.

"The energy we need for mechanical life can be light, electricity, heat, nuclear, or the power of various gemstones..."

"Of course, we rely more on the mechanical city to replenish energy, and the mechanical city absorbs the energy of the mechanical realm, and then supplies us as the energy for activities."

"And the mechanical realm is constantly absorbing and transforming the energy in the void, so there is no danger of source shortage, and the energy utilization rate in this way is higher, and the chance of problems is smaller."

"As for feeding with food, this method is too low-level, that is, carbon-based life will only use it."

Listening to Todge's slightly disdainful words, Barry angrily wanted to slap the table.

However, in order to maintain his image, Barry can only calmly fool Toki.

"Wrong, wrong, wrong."

"What you're saying is just in terms of energy and matter, and while it sounds right, you're ignoring a very important thing."

"That's the emotional factor."

Todge was very confused at this time, and even the two red bulb eyes revealed confusion.

"Feelings?"

"Why is it that the act of eating, which replenishes energy and maintains the most basic activity of life, can still be related to feelings?"

In the middle of Todge's question, Barry had already figured out in his mind how to fool him in the future.

"Of course it's emotional."

"You know, as a flesh and blood creature, eating is not only an activity that must be done, but also an act of self-satisfaction."

Toki looked at Barry and asked, "Can you tell me more about it?" ”

Looking at such a diligent and studious Toki, Barry's character as a good teacher emerged again.

"Like this apple pie that I'm eating right now, because it tastes so good, there's a sense of pleasure when I put it in my mouth, and a sense of satisfaction when I chew it and swallow it."

Fearing that this example would not make Tocki understand, Barry took out a homemade apple pie from the Glutton.

Barry then pointed to the apple pie and said, "It's a very unpalatable apple pie, and although it also has an energy boosting effect, no one will like to eat it." ”

"Because of eating it, ordinary people will feel nauseous, feel unmotivated, and feel a sense of loss and regret, which normal people would not want to experience."

Barry tried to take a bite, and in an instant his face began to become colorful, and his facial features were even more distorted, if he hadn't forcibly suppressed it, I'm afraid that he would have to spit out all the delicious apple pie he had just eaten.

Barry's behavior of experimenting by example was very shocking to see Todge.

It never thought that there was so much knowledge to replenish energy.

When it has no energy in the mechanical realm, it will go directly to the energy chamber for a while, and when it wakes up again, the energy will be sufficient.

Barry, barely recovering, looked at Tochi like this and continued to teach him.

"For us humans, it's not just food, it's clothes, decorations, houses, cars, and other things."

"These things have another role behind their normal efficacy."

"It's about satisfying the emotional needs of human beings."

"Whether the emotion is a pleasure from the heart, or from external vanity, or some other miscellaneous emotion."

Todge nodded cautiously, signaling that he understood.

"Barry is such a good teacher!"

But it soon became a question: "If eating is about energy and pleasure, why make unpleasant apple pie?" ”

Hearing Todge's question, Barry instantly felt like a thousand arrows pierced his heart.
