Chapter 41 Yang Ming's Small Goal
Kolev turned around suddenly, and when he saw the figure behind him, he shouted in surprise:
"Han...Hahaha! It's really you!"
Yang Ming put away the silver remote control in his hand.
Then, Kolev frowned, pinched a strand of his beard and pulled it gently.
"Hiss, this is not a dream, you really appeared in front of me!"
But Kolev quickly calmed down.
He looked at Yang Ming's outfit at the moment.
He was wearing a light blue maintenance worker's uniform, had some stubble on his face, and his eyes showed fatigue from a long voyage. He didn't seem to be in a good mental state either.
"Oh, why are you down and out again? What should I call you now?" Kolev asked vigilantly.
"Just call me Yang Ming," Yang Ming said in a gentle voice, and then patted his shriveled belly, "Don't you have a full meal when your old friend comes? Don't worry, I have a normal identity now, and the passport you gave me is still in use."
"Of course! Wait a minute...oh, my robots are all dead?"
Yang Ming raised his hand and clicked his watch twice, then said slowly, "Lv, have you modified their program?"
A three-inch-tall projection of Molly No. 2 appeared on the watch. She was wearing an elegant evening gown and said softly, "It has been modified, boss."
"Well, activate it."
Kolev keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Molly No. 2's projection.
She is very meticulous and smart, and her expression is closer to Molly No. 1.
law?
It seems that even the name is different.
Kolev, the creator of Molly, certainly understood that Molly II did not have any other functions besides controlling the spacecraft, nor did it add any learning modules that required powerful computing power and energy support.
"Number Two, do you still remember me?" Kolev called softly.
The girl looked up, gave Kolev a polite smile, and said quickly:
"Hello, Mr. Kolev. I should call you Mr. Hatton now. My boss always mentions you. It is your generosity that makes my boss one hundred thousandth as glorious as he is. But I am not No. 2. In other words, I am the advanced form of No. 2. My name is Lu."
Kolev asked in amazement: "Yang Ming, you redesigned her?"
"I guess so." Yang Ming didn't want to talk about this topic now. "Get me something to eat first, so that I can taste your luxurious lunch as a rich man!"
By the windowsill, in the living room, inside and outside the manor, the robots that had just stopped working woke up at the same time, and continued to execute the instructions they were previously executing as if nothing had happened.
The butler stepped forward, ignoring Yang Ming, and said to Kolev, "Master, are you talking to the air? I am worried about your mental state."
Kolev was stunned.
He turned his head and glared at Yang Ming, then glared at the butler robot whose program he had personally modified, and the corners of his mouth twitched .
Yang Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, the purpose of Lu's transformation is to make them unable to hear or see me, to prevent any information leakage, and it will not affect their normal work."
"Oh, how did you do that?"
Kolev's eyes were full of surprise, and he stared at Yang Ming's watch as if he was looking at a monster.
This watch was given to me by him before.
…
This old guy 's life is really decadent now.
Yang Ming gnawed on the juicy roasted animal leg, enjoying the silky taste brought by the chef robot's precise knife skills. After a few bites of the barbecue, he couldn't help but let out a few moans.
"Half a year has passed," Yang Ming sighed, "I finally don't have to eat synthetic cookies anymore!"
The girl's muttering came from his watch: "Synthetic cookies are much more nutritious than this. You have consumed too much fat and protein."
"Shut up," Yang Ming scolded with a smile, "You don't know how bad the synthetic biscuits you made are. They are just pig food."
"Okay, boss, you can press the power button of the instrument yourself from now on."
Yang Ming scolded, "Give me some face, Lu! This is in front of my old friend!"
"If the price of pleasure is self-degradation, then I suggest you maintain self-discipline to ensure your thinking is sharp." Lu said seriously.
She added:
"Even though your life level has surpassed the ordinary life forms of your species, you still have a lot of room for improvement."
"You are ordered to remain silent while I eat."
Law suddenly became quiet.
Yang Ming picked up something that looked like a cherry tomato on Earth, ate it until his mouth was full of juice, and he sighed comfortably.
The world is finally quiet.
Then, Yang Ming looked at Kolev, who was standing aside with a suspicious look on his face.
"Surprised, my dear old fellow?"
Kolev raised his hand to signal the serving robots around him to retreat, took out a pen from his jacket pocket, twisted the pen cap, and a pink isolation cover wrapped around the two of them.
Kolev asked with twinkling eyes.
"Who is Lina?"
"The female spy who tried to put me in a transparent can."
"Where did she die?"
"Olhafu Geosynchronous Orbit."
“Is my daughter’s mole on her left or right shoulder?”
"Does your daughter have a mole on her shoulder?" Yang Ming was puzzled. "How would I know? I haven't even seen her shoulder."
"Oh," Kolev smiled with narrowed eyes, and put down the laser pistol hidden under the table with satisfaction, "You are indeed my old friend. What have you been doing for the past six months? Where is the Feinan?"
"Not here, but parked outside your secret base now, ready to pick us up at any time," Yang Ming said, "Your base is deserted, where is Mimili?"
Kolev looked a little gloomy. "Children will grow up one day. We had a fight, and she chose to continue fulfilling her dream and become the freest pirate in the starry sky."
Yang Ming was not surprised at all: "Respect her."
"Yes," Kolev sighed, "but she has a problem, that is, she is not ruthless enough."
Yang Ming picked up the warm and sweet animal milk and drank it all in one gulp. He felt full of energy again.
"Okay, Kolev, let's get down to business."
Kolev curled his lips and crossed his legs like a big boss.
"Yang Ming, if the real purpose is to form a pirate group, then I can tell you directly that you have missed your only chance. I like my life now. I have enough money for others to respect me."
"You need me to conquer you, for the second time," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Kolev smiled confidently, ready for defense.
"My goal has never been to become a pirate," Yang Ming said briskly, "I need your help this time because you are the only one I can trust, and next I will need an experienced and wise assistant, as well as a reasonable wealthy identity to cover it up."
Kolev waved his hands impatiently: "Save your sweet talk for those ignorant girls! I have suffered heavy losses from cooperating with you once, let alone becoming your long-term assistant!"
Yang Ming's expression became quite serious.
He leaned forward with his arms on the table, fingers interlaced, and his eyes were so sincere.
"Remember Kolev?"
"Do you really have to use this trick?" Kolev asked with a frown.
Yang Ming suppressed his smile and said sincerely, "Why did I come to you? Actually, I can work alone and let Lu handle the technical matters. But something you said once made me feel that I should bring you with me to do this big thing."
"A paragraph?"
"Eternal Voyage," Yang Ming said, "You are Kolev, a man with a spirit of exploration. Although you later became a pirate villain, this cannot cover up your thirst for knowledge."
Kolev didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Yang Ming's voice slowly slowed down:
“You have been sailing on the edge of the Milky Way for most of your life. You understand the Milky Way. But do you understand the wider universe outside the Milky Way?
"Don't you want to know how life forms in higher dimensions work and what they are pursuing?
"Although you don't have much time left in your life, don't you want to achieve self-realization at a higher level outside of piracy and pursue the pleasure of satisfying your desire for exploration?"
"No!" Kolev answered seriously and cheerfully.
"Hey, you're boring now!"
Yang Ming rubbed his brows and said depressedly:
"Okay, Kolev, I admit that I need your help. Lu's intelligence is a little too high. If I rely on her blindly, she will easily become arrogant and expose her to the major forces, which will brew another crisis."
Kolev looked at Yang Ming's watch and couldn't help asking, "How did you do it, she..."
"The legacy of a higher-dimensional civilization."
Yang Ming said concisely: "I can share this secret with you, but I can't tell you how to get to that secret place. This is the part I must keep to myself."
"Oh," Kolev's eyes lit up, "You got a huge technological fortune?"
"Not yet. I still need to pass an assessment."
Yang Ming sighed:
"I came into contact with the administrators left behind by the higher-dimensional civilization. They are not considered living beings, but I gained a lot from them. Lu, the original No. 2, is now their goddaughter. You'd better not mess with her."
Kolev said, "Tell me in detail! I am very interested in this."
"Unless you promise to help me," Yang Ming's lips curved slightly, "This is the condition, Kolev."
"Hey! You can't abuse an old man's curiosity like that!"
Kolev gnashed his teeth.
Yang Ming showed a winner's expression as if he was saying 'I can definitely beat you, old man'.
"I don't care!"
Kolev stood up with the help of a crutch, grabbed the isolation shield launcher, and turned to walk towards the restaurant door more than ten meters away.
Lu's virtual image appeared next to Yang Ming's hand and frowned, "Boss, if he can't be your assistant, you should erase his memory."
"Don't be so cruel to my old partner," Yang Ming said, "You can count down to three now."
"Why?"
Lu was a little confused, but she had to obey all of Yang Ming's orders, so she started counting down:
"Three, two, one."
Kolev stopped and faced the valuable oil paintings displayed in front of him.
The old man was silent.
He turned around and looked at Yang Ming carefully for a long time.
"I need to know your next plan, or what you want to achieve at this stage," Kolev said calmly, "I don't have much time left, young man, and I don't want to waste my time on meaningless things."
Yang Ming thought about it carefully and said slowly: "Our goal is at this stage, or within a five-year period."
"uh-huh?"
"Get a habitable administrative planet that belongs to me and only me."
