North of Dawn City.

On the bustling shopping street, Frost and Solar Eclipse, dressed in maid costumes, stood at the door of the rattan hut, smiling and watching the people on the street.

It's been a while since I've been in Ideal City and I've been on Dawning City.

It is not only this thriving city that has changed over time, but also what has been embraced and embraced by the city.

The black fluffy lining is complemented by the ruffled white skirt, and the holy white perfectly envelops the metallic sheen of the thighs and perfectly outlines the ergonomically drawn curves and contours.

The eclipse standing next to the frost is a very different style.

At the suggestion of the owner, Fujito, it chose a more mysterious black color to match its "quiet" and "serious and old-fashioned" temperament.

Recently, they have upgraded the supporting hardware of the "intellectual AI plug-in", and the facial features of the original window model style have been replaced with almost normal appearances.

While these additional hardware are somewhat redundant for the "A-Series" androids, whose application scenarios are mainly on the battlefield, this small change has made them very popular in Dawning City.

Like now.

Almost every resident who passed by the door of the rattan hut would pay attention to the two standing at the door.

As a polite android, Frost will smile and nod his head in response to every resident of Dawn who salutes him.

It was almost noon, and there were finally fewer pedestrians on the street.

Taking advantage of the gap where no one was paying attention, Frost's face showed a satisfied smile, and the eclipse who was also standing next to him said.

"Behold, eclipse, the eyes full of trust, adoration, and admiration······ Don't you think it's great? ”

During this time, it tried many jobs, such as moving bricks, dusting, and hunting xenos, but it was undoubtedly the place where it liked the most.

Only here does it reap not only the reward, but also the admiring gaze of passers-by.

"Is this any use?" Eclipse looked at it with a blank expression, unable to hear the undulating voice with a hint of inconspicuous doubt.

"How could it be useless?" Frost looked at it in surprise, "Don't you feel it?" That heart-pounding feeling, that joy from the depths of the CPU... It's as if ······ It's as if the whole intellectual plugin is burning! ”

The eclipse, who couldn't understand this sentence, was down for a few seconds, and it took a long time before he said in a daze.

"Is there not enough computing power?"

"Quite the opposite!" Hanshuang's face bloomed with an energetic expression, and he clenched his right fist, "Looking at those faces full of happiness, I only feel more motivated to work······ Ahh ”

Eclipse: "......? ”

It was getting farther and farther to understand this strange colleague, and wanted to open its AI core to see what strange code was written inside.

However, what is even more incomprehensible is why the engineer who produced this colleague, the android of the A-series, would install such a troublesome thing as an "intellectual plugin".

Eliminating all safety hazards for employers without hesitation is what a combat android should do.

Emotions can only become a burden on the battlefield.

At this time, the door of the rattan hut was pushed open, and the smile like a spring breeze floated over with the pleasant wind chimes on the door.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Looking at the cute little little dot in front of him, Frost's face showed a smug smile and said humbly.

"Wherever we are, we are, and thanks to the internship opportunities you provide, we have been able to collect valuable experimental data and materials."

Experimental data?

Material?

Fujito frowned suspiciously, and asked cautiously in a whisper. "It's not a dangerous experiment, is it?"

"How so?" Seeing the suspicion on Fujito's face, Hanshuang hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, explaining, "That's for eternal happiness and tranquility, it's not so much an experiment as a grand blueprint."

····· It may sound like a hassle, but don't worry, just leave the hassle to us. ”

Fujito was a little confused.

"Eternal ······ Happiness? ”

Frost smiled and nodded.

"Hmmm! To put it simply, it is to allow the organism to live peacefully, happily and securely under the protection of the servants. ”

The loving eyes made Fuji Fuji feel goosebumps rise from his back. It always feels like the game is getting more and more wrong.

Fortunately, she is just an ordinary costume designer, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to trigger some flags, she shouldn't be involved in those troublesome events.

"Well, you're done with today's work······ Flowey has returned from the Iron Axe Tribe, and the work of receiving guests is left to her. ”

Recently, the Akikusa and Akiba sisters of the Iron Axe tribe have improved the weaving process of devil silk, which not only makes the touch of silk fabrics more supple without affecting the quality of the finished product, but also reduces the unit working hours of the product by one to two percent.

She asked Huahua to go there and get some samples to see if she could incorporate them into the work she was working on recently.

It's really nostalgic to think about.

The original silk reeling, weaving and a series of other crafts were all improved and taught to those wastelanders by combining her real-life experience, and now the weaving skills of those wastelanders have long surpassed her halfway monk.

She can also focus more on the design areas she is interested in.

Recently, they sailed thousands of kilometers to the archipelago in the southern seas, where they heard that her art was well received.

"Don't you really need us to continue to help?" Looking at Miss Fujito, Frost said with a slight loss.

"No, you have your own things to do." Fujito pulled out a silver coin and handed it to Frost, smiling and saying, "This is your reward. ”

"Oh! It's wages! ”

Frost's eyes lit up, and he held the coins above his head to take a closer look, then put them away contentedly.

"Okay, please contact us again next time if you need it······ By the way, the clothes have to be returned to you. ”

As he spoke, it grabbed the hem of its skirt with both hands and was about to take it off.

Seeing its movements, Fujito's face turned red into an apple, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop its inappropriate behavior.

"No, no, the clothes are for you······ Just keep it! "Is the atmosphere of the ideal city so open?

If you don't agree with each other, you will be on the street······

There was a picture in her mind for some reason, and her face became more and more red, and she was embarrassed to continue thinking about it. However, Frost was unaware of this, completely unaware of the shame of what she had just done.

However, when she heard that Fujito was going to keep this piece of equipment that had stolen the attention of countless passers-by for herself, her eyes suddenly lit up with surprise.

"Really? That's embarrassing! ”

"You're welcome, this is the reward you deserve," Fujito, who was still blushing, smiled shyly, really curious in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "Then by the way, you are also like this in Ideal City..."

··· Is it possible to change clothes casually like this? ”

"A casual change of clothes?" Hanshuang was slightly stunned, and said with a little confusion, "We don't wear clothes in Ideal City. ”

"Don't wear it?!"

Frost nodded as a matter of course.

"That's right, the initial appearance coating will be printed directly on our skin, and if you want to change to a different style of skin, you can directly install a holographic appearance plug-in and use holograms to create the effect of clothes."

"Ah······ That's really convenient. Fujito tried to imagine it, and his heartbeat, which had finally calmed down, unconsciously accelerated again.

Was Ideal City such a powerful place? Frost smiled and nodded.

"Mmmm, that's convenient, right? However, some androids with silicon exterior materials are still forbidden to enter and exit public places without wearing coverings, and the atmosphere of the ideal city is still not open enough. ”

I see.

Fujito, who almost mistook Ideal City for a strange place, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well, I think that's good... ...”

"Really?" Frost tilted her head and muttered incomprehensibly, "I was embarrassed to install the plug-in because I liked it······ Humans are so weird. ”

Taking advantage of the frost to fall into his own thoughts, Fujito quietly slipped back to his hut and closed the door of the shop.

Looking at the petite figure that disappeared into the wind chimes, a hint of satisfaction floated in Frost's smile.

"That's nice."

This one should be very easy to raise.

It's a pity that even in Ideal City, their ideals are too avant-garde, and there is still a long way to go before people can accept them.

However, the lifespan of AI is eternal.

It has plenty of time to do it.

“.····· As long as the organism is kept under the protection of the servants, they will be able to create more and better works of art, and the world will be full of love and peace. What do you think? Eclipse. ”

The eclipse's gaze flickered slightly.

"I think the front line is where we should go."

Frost shook her head gracefully.

"That's not going to work, we have to represent our employer and build a friendship between the employer and the Alliance, not to mention that there are already more than two hundred android soldiers on the front line, and they will take care of the job."

Eclipse's eyes flickered slightly.

"Work log update, according to the employer, there is a flight back from Luoxia Province today, with a T-series android from the academy on it."

Frost: "T Series? ”

Eclipse explained.

"Similar to our A-series, they follow the serial number of the People's Union, and the employer asked us to find out."

A look of interest appeared in Frost's eyes.

"Interesting, let's go check it out."

……

At the same time, at the airport northeast of Dawning City, a killer whale transport plane landed steadily on the spacious runway.

Almost as soon as he got off the plane, he was blocked by mosquitoes ambushing at the airport.

"Good brother! You're finally back! Hahaha, I didn't lie to you, did I? Is the ejection seat any good? It's not a bad ass, is it? ”

Looking at the mosquitoes that were approaching on one side, Luo Yu's newly relaxed mood instantly became tense, and he looked at this guy vigilantly.

"Fuck off, who's your brother? What do you want to do..."

"Holy! Ruthless, you! ”

Faced with a look of resistance, the mosquito wailed in a fake way, but within two seconds, the heart-wrenching expression was swept away from his face and replaced by an embarrassed smile.

"I heard your daughter can fly?"

"What daughter, Xiao Yu is Xiao Yu."

Luo Yu corrected his statement seriously, but the mosquito obviously didn't listen, and continued with a smile.

"It doesn't matter! By the way, can you let it perform that trick again? Last time it was too fast, I didn't have time to shoot. ”

As soon as he heard this unreasonable request, Luo Yu instantly rolled his eyes.

"Fuck off! If something happens, you will pay? ”

"Damn, what's going on here! It's even Inmaiman! ”

Looking at the begging mosquitoes, Luo Yu waved his hand impatiently.

"Go aside, no discussion!"

On the other side, his feet finally stepped on the ground, and Chen Yutong, who was so far away from the swamp, glanced around curiously and whispered.

"Here······ Is it the Alliance? ”

Lao Bai said with a smile.

"Yes, it's desolate, isn't it?"

"How so? Compared to the swamp survivors' settlements, it's already bustling with activity. Chen Yutong said with heartfelt emotion.

When she was on the plane just now, she saw the whole picture of Dawn City.

Houses of all shapes sit on the wasteland, stretching out of the main roads and alleys of Qianmo, merging into the ruins of the northern suburbs of Qingquan City to the south, bordering endless farmland to the west, a railroad stretching to the forests to the north, and old trains passing through the busy trading posts.

The city is like a sprout from rotting wood.

Immature but full of hope.

What struck her most incredulous was that a year ago it had been a wasteland with nothing but blood-drinking beasts and cruel and bloodthirsty mutants and marauders.

“······ It's incredible. ”

Looking at Chen Yutong who was looking around, Lao Bai suddenly felt a little curious. "What's it like in the swamp?"

"Concise and efficient," Chen Yutong quickly replied, "ConclusionDoctoral education We need to use limited resources to create more results, most of the settlements under the management of the Science and Technology Commission pursue energy-saving living principles, and some survivor settlements will be very deserted from the outside, although there are many people." In contrast, the college is larger, but there are fewer people. ”

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the warehouse with an open door not far away.

Lao Bai followed her gaze and saw a strangely shaped iron lump. It was the mosquito's own "unpowered armor".

Since the last time I helped the mosquito brother get out of it, this thing has been thrown by mosquitoes in the airport warehouse and has not been touched.

Grass was growing underneath that rusty armor.

I didn't expect to be ugly as soon as I landed, thinking of the task assigned by the manager, I wanted to take her to see the beautiful side of the alliance by myself, Lao Bai coughed lightly and explained.

"The managers asked us to build the alliance in our own way, but they didn't ask us what we had to do...

··· So once in a while, there will be some players with big brains who do something superfluous. ”

"I think it's good······ Whether it's useful or not shouldn't be decided by intuition in the first place, and as you said, who knows what the future holds. ”

Looking at the iron lump that was probably scrapped, Chen Yutong had an expression on his face.

Lao Bai felt a bit of envy in her eyes, although he didn't know what there was to envy at all.

"Are you hungry? I know a nice place. ”

Chen Yutong's eyes instantly flashed with expectation.

"Is it braised pork? Or is it that hot pot? Kebabs? ”

Lao Bai smiled and gestured.

"It's neither, it's ramen, a kind of noodle dish······ Forget it, I still won't introduce it, you'll find out in a moment. ”

Chen Yutong followed him with great interest, babbling in his mouth.

"Ramen? Incredible name... ...”

At the thought of finally being able to eat authentic alliance food, she subconsciously swallowed her saliva, and her heart couldn't help but ignite a little anticipation.

Shortly after the two of them walked away, the two androids arrived at the airport belatedly.

Frost, who was standing next to the killer whale transport plane, excitedly craned his neck and looked around, but did not see a matching target, so he randomly caught a staff member.

"What about the academy's androids? Take me to see it. ”

The airport staff standing around looked at each other, confused by this question, and one of the clever young men immediately reported the news to his superiors.

After receiving a clear reply, he led the two androids to the warehouse in the corner of the airport.

There is a team of 100 people stationed here, and it is quite heavily guarded.

Under Frost's expectant gaze, the staff member opened the door to the warehouse.

In the center of the warehouse, there was a steel stand in the shape of a cube, and an android with both arms replaced by a mantis knife was fixed in the center of the support, and every joint of his body was firmly locked.

Glancing at the pair of oozing mantis knives, the staff member swallowed and said nervously.

"This is it······ It's dangerous, and we're going to have to keep it here until we dismantle it. ”

Frost stepped forward impatiently, taking a closer look at the android locked to the stand. At this moment, a hint of disappointment suddenly appeared in its eyes.

"Isn't this still the original version?"

Eclipse, who was standing aside, nodded.

"Hmm."

Xuan Feng didn't speak, quietly staring at the same kind of person in the inexplicable clothes in front of him, and his shoulders suddenly shrugged forward.

The creaking sound of the stand startled the staff and soldiers standing nearby, especially the latter, whose rifles were safed.

Frost didn't react, and put her index finger on its chest, staring at the poor creature with pity

"Why is there such an ugly AI in this world, and there is only a string of soulless numbers flowing under the cold shell······ Can this kind of thing also be called intelligent? ”

Reacting to this sentence, Xuan Feng slowly raised his head and stared at the android in front of him, his tightly closed mouth finally moved.

“.····· Have the ability to let me go. ”

The sharp mantis knife was slightly skewed, and the mirror-like knife body reflected a murderous cold light.

Feeling the wordless anger and provocation, the frost standing in front of it ignored it, and looked at the eclipse standing aside.

"Let's go, Eclipse, the legendary academy is nothing more than that." Eclipse nodded.

"Okay."

“......”

Looking at the two androids who turned around and walked towards the door, Xuan Feng's body moved violently, but it was a pity that the solid metal bracket did not loosen half a point because of its struggle.

This is the first time.

Its AI core felt such intense anger······

……

Linghu Wetland Park.

The north entrance to the outpost.

Zhang Hai, who was standing behind the ramen stall, was pouring noodles into the pot, and suddenly saw a familiar face through the white mist floating in the pot.

"Yo, Rare Guest..." As soon as he was halfway through the words, Zhang Hai's eyes suddenly fell on the face of the woman next to Lao Bai, and his smile suddenly became a little narrow.

Without waiting for him to tease, Lao Bai coughed.

"Two bowls of beef noodles."

"Hey, okay."

Pulling a large section of the dough, Zhang Hai skillfully threw it on the board and flattened it, and then pulled it left and right, as if by magic, turning the oval dough into thin noodles that flew up and down.

Chen Yutong, who was standing in front of the stall, stared directly at the noodles in his hand, his eyes were straight.

What is it?

Magic?!

"How's the battle going on the front?" Throwing the pulled noodles into the pot, the old young man asked with a smile.

Lao Bai replied in a chatty tone.

"It's okay, I heard that the Skeleton Corps and the Storm Corps have been pushed to the base camp of the Legion in Luoxia Province, and it is estimated that we will have nothing to do with it next."

Ordinary players don't ask that, but players who use their real names as IDs are obviously not ordinary players either.

With the continuous update of the version and the continuous entry of new players, the ramen stall owner who never bubbles on the forums has become one of the urban legends of "Wasteland Online" in a sense.

Some even say that he is the official childcare. But Lao Bai is clear.

This guy is no different from them, and he also came from the novice stage, and he is not less ashamed when he is unlucky.

Later, he may have felt that shooting guns was boring, so he ran away to become a professional gamer in life.

"Amazing, these young men," Zhang Hai said with emotion, "It's only been a year's work, and thousands of people can command the battle with ease." ”

Lao Bai said with a smile.

"You're not going to play?"

Zhang Hai sighed and said.

"I'll forget it, spare me when I'm old."

"What are you afraid of, the game is not reality······ Speaking of which, how old are you in reality? ”

"I won't tell you."

"Damn! Still shy? ”

"It's not important, it's good to give young people exercise anyway hahaha."

The two don't know each other in reality.

But his intuition told Lao Bai that the person in front of him had been in the army, or at least for a while.

However, this brother should be different from himself, and it should have been some time since he left the team, and it is obvious that he has adapted to a peaceful life.

Two bowls of beef noodles were quickly placed on the table.

Chen Yutong couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, but hesitated for a moment and was stunned on the spot.

"This····· How to use it? ”

"I'll teach you."

Lao Bai patiently demonstrated it.

can only be said to be worthy of being a person from the academy, Chen Yutong just watched it carefully, and soon mastered the knack of using this kind of tableware.

"Incredible······ That's how you usually eat. ”

Looking at Chen Yutong, who had a shallow taste, Lao Bai asked with a smile.

"Is it delicious?"

"What! Super ······ Delicious! ”

Chen Yutong nodded excitedly.

Unable to find the right adverb to describe the joy that came from the bottom of her heart, she puffed out her cheeks and exhaled in small gulps, and put the noodles in her mouth.

Looking at the look of being eager to eat it in his mouth and afraid of being hot, Lao Bai's face couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Hai, who was standing at the back of the stall, squeezed his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"How did you meet? Tell me about it. ”

"Talk about your sister."

Lao Bai rolled his eyes, took out a banknote and slapped it on the table.

"Checkout."

"Damn, what age do you still use paper money, why can't you use transfers?"

"Ask for change, it's useful."

Zhang Hai was about to ask what was the use, but when he saw Chen Yutong on the side, he suddenly smiled as if he understood, turned around and flipped through the drawer to make change.

The league has only one banknote with a face value of one hundred, and the rest of the denominations are coins, which is not very convenient for players who are used to electronic payments.

However, after looking for a while, Zhang Hai still counted out the full amount of silver coins and lined them up on the counter. Looking at the pile of coins that fell on the wooden table, Chen Yutong asked curiously.

"What is this?"

Lao Bai explained with a smile.

"Money, currency, can be exchanged for things, and a bowl of ramen like this costs only 4 silver coins······ Don't you have a G score there? ”

Chen Yutong hesitated and shook his head.

"G points cannot be traded and can only be used on electronic platforms operated by the Ministry of the Interior······ How does this work?"

Although I don't really understand the difference between "trading" and "using", Lao Bai doesn't care about these trivial things now.

Today's priority is to teach her how to fit into her new life. Looking at Chen Yutong with a confused face, Lao Bai said with a smile.

"It's simple, I'll teach you how to use it in a moment."

1 second to remember:
