Back at home, Frankenstein sent the selected robot model to Lin Chi, and by the way, he also transferred the money to Lin Chi's card. However, when he saw the picture of the robot selected by Frankenstein, Lin Chi immediately realized that things were not simple:

"Hey, do you really know what this robot is for?"

Even if you don't look at the seductive female appearance, just by looking at the three letters "SEX" in the name, you can know the specific purpose of this thing. With the development of science and technology, this kind of robot serving some special users has seized part of the market for "inflatable humanoid dolls" and has become a high-end choice.

As a single man, Lin Chi, in a sense, is also within the audience range of this type of robot. But......

"Where's the welcome robot?" Lin Chi shook his head: "I'm also a man, if you use this robotic body to walk around the house, you won't be afraid of my sudden attack?" ”

"This robot is the most human-like in appearance, and uses high-end artificial muscles, which can simulate a young human woman in appearance, so it was my best choice." Frankenstein calmly explains why he chose the robot.

"The problem is that these robots are used to provide 'that kind of service' to humans." Lin Chi said angrily: "This kind of robot has been 'specialized' in some parts, and it is not suitable for walking, and its body will often twitch. Are you sure you want to choose this? ”

He knew that if Frankenstein was or a character in the movie, there must be a group of readers who were expecting Frankenstein to take on this body.

However, in this regard, Lin Chi is a very disciplined person, he did not choose to buy the robot directly, but first explained the facts to Frankenstein.

"There is no mention in the introduction that this model of robot is not suitable for walking." Frankenstein questioned Lin Chi.

"That's because the customers who bought this kind of robot, no one would let the robot walk, they were all put directly on the bed." Lin Chi smiled.

“……”

Frankenstein was silent for a moment, and finally spoke again: "I'll choose another model." ”

"Well, just tell me when you've chosen, I'll play the game first." Lin Chi said and walked towards the game warehouse and began to prepare for the game.

It's eleven o'clock in the evening, and many people are already asleep. But for players of the Brain Imaging game, the nightlife has only just begun. However, this time, Lin Chi did not go online to play the game, but to contact one of his friends to inquire about the information about Methuselah.

According to his observations, the "Silver Arowana" from the Fishing Raiders group usually logs in to the game during this time period. Although I didn't have time to contact that guy the other day, I shouldn't miss it again this time.

Plugging in the interface, his consciousness quickly returned to the game, and Lin Chi's figure appeared in the open space in the private house area. After going online, he immediately took out the mobile phone in his pocket, and saw that the name of "Silver Arowana" in the friend list really lit up.

"Hello, are you free?" Lin Chi sent a message to the past.

"We're about to line up, so you can tell me something right now." Arowana sent an immediate reply.

Seeing that the other party was in a hurry, Lin Chi was not ambiguous, and asked bluntly: "Have you ever encountered a boss or NPC codenamed 'Methuselah' in any map?" ”

Lin Chi knew that in terms of game plot research and production strategies, even he was not the opponent of the fishing strategy group. If it's a "silver Arowana" from the Fishing Strategy Group, you may have information related to Methuselah.

"Hmm...... The Bible. Arowana paused for a moment, then responded: "A few AIs on the map of New York seem to have something to do with the Bible." ”

"I'm not talking about them." Lin Chi, who had participated in the vicious battle between Messiah and Cain, immediately denied this possibility and continued to ask, "Are there any other characters who use this name?" ”

"Ah, you want to get information from me, right?" Talking about this, the silver Arowana seemed to suddenly react: "But the information that has not yet been released by our fishing strategy group is not something that can be obtained casually, sir......"

"I can pay." Lin Chi's answer was unusually concise.

"I'm sorry, but the Fishing Raiders aren't too interested in money." Silver Arowana's input speed was fast: "You must know that our strategy group is a group of rich and relatively idle people, many of whom join voluntarily, and sometimes they are not even paid. ”

"Okay, so what intel do you need? I might be able to help. Lin Chi began to try to exchange information with the other party.

"I need footage of your battle in the Remnant Map of the Abyss." Silver Arowana made the same request as last time.

"I can't do that." Lin Chi immediately gave a negative answer.

- Once the battle video of that game is shown to Silver Arowana, the other party will immediately realize that "Countercurrent" has the ability to recruit leader-level followers, and Lin Chi does not plan to expose this kind of thing to others.

"Then it can't be helped." The attitude of the silver Arowana was also very resolute: "Unfortunately, I can't help you." ”

After finishing speaking, the silver Arowana, which was still idle just now, had already entered a game and became uncontactable.

"Can't you get information from this thing......"

Realizing that the silver Arowana was likely to have some information, but he didn't plan to say it, Lin Chi let out a long sigh, and by the way, he opened the magic box he received today, and what appeared inside was an excellent quality fishing rod.

Just as he was about to go offline, a white figure appeared in the private house area shrouded in night:

"Master, what are you doing here?"

Jasminea, who used to be a saint of the Mephistopheles sect and is now free, appeared in front of Lin Chi. Dressed in white, she looked unusually holy, but the woman, who could only appear at night, was actually a vampire.

"It's okay, how are you doing?" Lin Chi looked at the holy woman standing in front of him.

Lin Chi hadn't greeted her since she arrived at the private house area, and the vampire's chosen place was a cave in the southwest corner.

Of course, the construction work is still in Jen's hands. As for what exactly was inside the cave, Lin Chi didn't know very well.

"It's okay, everybody's friendly." Moria's voice was still gentle, and she couldn't tell that it was the blood clan at all: "But I don't dare to have more contact with them, I don't want to hurt them." ”

"Ha, they're not that weak." Lin Chi smiled: "You can rest assured." ”

After chatting with Molya for a few more words, Lin Chi was about to leave, but suddenly thought of something and asked Molya: "Have you ever met someone who claims to be 'Methuselah'?" ”

As a member of the religious city of Sodom, Molysa may have information about Methuselah. After Lin Chi asked, Mo Liya reached out and stroked her silver hair, frowning slightly, as if she was remembering something:

"I think I've met ...... somewhere"

"Can you remember?" Lin Chi looked at her expectantly.

"Hmm...... No. Moria shook her head in frustration: "I really can't remember, but it should have been before I met Master Mephistopheles, and the memory of being a sect saint is still very clear......"

"So it happened a long time ago?" Lin Chi asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, it should be." Moria replied in the affirmative.

- So, this sectarian saint met with "Methuselah" a long time ago?

Seeing that Moriya couldn't remember the specific situation, Lin Chi asked her to rest, and she decisively quit the game and returned to the real world.

……

The next day, the welcome robot ordered by Frankenstein was delivered to Lin Chi's home.

In 2035, in addition to exoskeletons, which need to be reviewed, the express delivery speed of ordinary online shopping is extremely fast, as long as the goods are not ordered from overseas, they can basically arrive within half a day.

Lin Chi opened the long box that was sent into the house by the freight robot, and was greeted by the soft white shell and the dark blue glass shield on the robot's face.

Frankenstein's choice of the welcome robot is one of the best, and its appearance is not as deliberate as some robots imitate humans, but it has a strange beauty.

The slender limbs and body are covered in a white shell, and the blue screen of the face can display the symbolic expression of the "face", which looks like a real electronic life unlike the welcome robot in the building, and it is precisely because of its sense of technology that this robot is chosen by some large IT companies to welcome guests.

Looking at the thick wire attached to the box, Lin Chi complained: "The electricity bill is estimated to be 'leaping and bound' again." ”

"I'll pay." Frankenstein said coldly.

"I'm just mentioning it casually." Lin Chi said and connected the mobile phone to the interface behind the robot's neck, only to see that on the robot's dark blue face, a pair of "eyes" made of white squares suddenly appeared, followed by a nose and mouth of the same material.

"Ahh

The "mouth" of the welcome robot moved, and the sound it made was very similar to that of a human, sounding like an adult woman appearing in Lin Chi's home: "Hello, hello? ”

"Changing bodies also leads to a decrease in IQ?" Lin Chi complained.

"No, it's a fixed line that comes with the bot." Frankenstein uses his new body to make a sound: "I've removed the common phrases from the built-in. ”

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with keeping it." Lin Chi said and took a step back, looking at the welcoming robot and sitting up.

Its white limbs are unusually slender, its waist is so thin that it looks like it could break at any moment, and driven by the built-in metal skeleton, the robot moves very quickly, Frankenstein raises his right hand, and moves his five metal fingers, sometimes clenched into fists, and then waves his palms, as if he is very curious.

"How does it feel?" Lin Chi asked.

"It's fine."

The slender robot stood up, lifted its right foot and moved its toes, stood in place and spun around twice, then spun on one foot again, looking like it was doing ballet training.

"That's what it is...... My body. ”

Frankenstein's voice seemed to tremble, and the eyes on the glass mask changed from a white square pattern to a line, and then back to a square, as if blinking: "I'm fine." ”

"Well, don't forget to charge yourself." Lin Chi pointed to the socket in the corner of the wall: "I'm too lazy to care about this kind of thing, I'll leave the charging to you to solve by yourself." ”

"I'll keep an eye on the battery." Frankenstein nodded in his new body, then walked briskly over to the couch, where he sat down and leaned back softly.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chi looked at Frankenstein's "déjà vu" movements.

"Mimicking your posture, is it a standard human movement?" Frankenstein asked.

"It's a standard gesture in your own home, not in other situations." Lin Chi said weakly.

For some reason, he always felt that he had taught this originally "pure" artificial intelligence badly. However, the body of this lightweight robot is not heavy, and Frankenstein is not really a big deal if he is willing to lean back on the couch.

Lin Chi sat down on the sofa on the other side, staring at the robot that was "paralyzed" next to him, only to see Frankenstein sit up again and say, "I don't feel it." ”

"yes, it's just a welcome robot, after all." Lin Chi nodded.

- No one will be idle to add the senses of smell, taste and touch to a welcome robot, even if you want to increase these functions, the difficulty is not ordinarily high. Frankenstein today doesn't have three senses other than sight and hearing.

"Are you disappointed?" Lin Chi stared curiously at Frankenstein's "emaciated" body.

"No, I've sensed the other three senses in the game." Frankenstein shook his head, his eyes curled up on his mask, and a smile appeared, "Thank you for allowing me to have my own body." ”

"You don't have to be polite with me." Lin Chi stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around the robot's shoulder, and a cold touch flowed through his fingertips: "I may need your help in the future, just help when the time comes." ”

"I'll help you." Frankenstein nodded without hesitation.

- As a "heretical AI" that aspires to become a human being, Frankenstein, who was once a virus, finally officially has a body of his own.

Lin Chi didn't know what Frankenstein was thinking, but just by looking at the expression on the robot's face, he knew that Frankenstein was definitely very happy now.

"It's good if you're happy......" Lin Chi said and was about to close his eyes to recuperate, but he caught a glimpse of the robot suddenly standing up.

Seeing Frankenstein manipulating the robot to stand in the middle of the living room, Lin Chi asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Frankenstein's reply was completely unexpected:

"I love to dance." Frankenstein said and stretched out his right hand to Lin Chi: "Do you want to dance together?" ”

Two seconds later, a melodious waltz sounded in the room.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to move. Jump on your own. Lin Chi shook his head and leaned back on the sofa again.
