Chapter 51: The Reputation of Mankind
After a while, Xia Yu had picked up all the remains of the mechanical life forms on the ground.
Xia Yu also returned to the center of the pentagonal formation carrying his unchanged backpack.
9S, who was full of curiosity, looked at the backpack on Xia Yu's back, wanting to say something but stopping himself. After thinking for a moment, he decided to speak.
"My Lord, those remains you just put into your backpack?"
"That's what you're talking about." Xia Yu shrugged and showed off his light backpack. "Isn't it common sense that materials can be put into a backpack? You don't even understand this."
“Ah, this…”
Is this common sense? I don’t understand, but I am shocked.
9S was shocked. He started to think. He felt that his system was overheating. Smoke started coming out of his head!
Bang! 9S stopped thinking.
“9S, are you okay?”
2B, who was standing by, saw 9S suddenly start to stagger and seemed about to fall, so she hurried forward to support him. 9S supported his head and shook it, exhaling a puff of white steam.
"I'm fine, 2B. The system just heated up suddenly. It's cooled down now."
After recovering, 9S turned around and looked at Xia Yu with longing. Even though he didn't take off the tactical eyepiece, Xia Yu could still imagine the sparkling eyes behind the eyepiece.
"It's amazing, sir, please tell me more common sense!"
Xia Yu: “…”
Why is this child so stupid?
After thinking about it, Xia Yu decided to give 9S some scientific knowledge, since he had nothing to do anyway.
"Not only can the materials you pick up be put into your backpack, you can also piece them together to create new things anytime and anywhere. Also, when a human is injured, all they need to do is take a sip of the secret medicine called the Blood Bottle to fully recover from the injury. By the way, the Blood Bottle must be eaten directly, and the glass bottle containing the secret medicine cannot be left alone."
"So humans can eat glass bottles?" 9S was shocked.
"Of course, humans can not only eat glass bottles, but also various minerals. Otherwise, how do you think the various minerals in the human body come from? They are all eaten one bite at a time."
9S: (°Д°)
"By the way, edible minerals cannot be stored for too long. It is best to have them freshly dug out of the ground. That way they are the freshest and taste the best . If the minerals are exposed to air for too long, they will deteriorate."
9S was confused when he heard this "common sense". He said unconfidently, "But the book doesn't say this common sense, sir..."
"Hey, you unlucky kid, I'm seriously ignoring... cough, I'm seriously explaining science to you and you still don't believe me. Do you believe in the words in the book that can be changed at any time, or do you believe in me, a living human being?"
Listening to Xia Yu's questioning, 9S's face twisted. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to give up everything he learned from the book. The adults were right. The adults were living human beings. How could they lie to him?
"I choose to believe you!" 9S said seriously.
"Well, you are a teachable kid. Since you are so eager to learn, I will tell you some common sense about human beings."
Next, Xia Yu advanced into the forest while explaining common sense to 9S beside him, such as if something fell from the sky, as long as a bucket of water was placed below in time, it would be possible to avoid falling damage, and if an egg was dropped to the ground, it would be possible to get a hatched chick directly...
9S couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at these common sense words, and even 2B and A2 looked sideways at them.
Only Popola and Divara looked helpless. They were one of the artificial humans that existed in the era before humans became extinct, so they naturally heard the nonsense in Xia Yu's words.
But seeing the human adults talking so eloquently, the twins rationally chose to remain silent. As long as the human adults were happy, it was none of their business even if the silly boy named 9S was fooled.
That’s right, everything is done for the human adults, not just because they want to have fun.
Just like that, with Xia Yu's common sense popularization, the three YoR-Leaf androids exclaiming from time to time, and the twins silently suppressing their laughter, the group soon arrived at the center of the forest.
There is a naturally formed square in the center of the forest, on which there are buildings left by humans in old times. Although they are covered with moss, the buildings do not look collapsed or weathered.
At this moment, the square was filled with several rows of mechanical life forms, and a special individual who looked like an instructor was standing on the building.
"Are they practicing?"
Behind the tree roots, 9S was shocked as he watched the footage sent back by the auxiliary machine. The mechanical lifeforms in the footage were actually practicing gunmanship to the beat of the music.
Although those gun techniques were extremely simple, they revealed an incredible piece of news: mechanical life forms actually developed intelligence!
This is something that they, the artificial humans, cannot imagine at all. In their concept , mechanical life forms are just simple machines.
The only reason they were at a disadvantage in the war was because there were too many mechanical life forms. Mass-produced mechanical life forms were measured in billions.
But now, if these special individuals also develop intelligence like them, it would definitely not be good news.
"Sir, please let us go and deal with these mechanical life forms!"
After watching the information sent back by the auxiliary machine, 2B spoke to Xia Yu seriously.
"Okay, the three of you go together. Don't chop those mechanical life forms too much. Popola and Divara will be here to protect me."
The twins at the side heard this, stepped forward at the same time, nodded with a firm look, and said that they would definitely protect the human.
The three white-haired robots saluted Xia Yu and ran towards the Forest Square.
"They may be dangerous, 2B, please be careful!" 9S said to 2B on the way there.
"That's what I'm saying. Be careful, Natsu." 2B responded quickly.
"Eh!!" 9S suddenly turned his head in surprise and asked 2B, "What did you just say?"
"Be careful, 9S."
"Eh? No way? Isn't the pronunciation closer to "Natsu"? "
"Advance quietly and defeat the enemy."
"hateful!"
Watching the interaction between 9S and 2B, A2 felt a sour taste in his mouth for some reason.
"cut!"
A2 silently increased her speed and clenched the sword in her hand. She wanted to vent her inexplicable frustration on that damn mechanical lifeform.
On the other side, behind the tree roots.
Popola and Divara looked at each other, and for the sake of the human's reputation, they decided to go a little beyond the limit and give the human a warning.
"My Lord Human, the common sense you mentioned before may cause them to misunderstand. If they react, it will affect your reputation." Popola said.
"That's right, my lord human. If they knew you were fooling them, your image might be distorted in their minds." Divara said.
"I thought it was something." Hearing the twins' reminder, Xia Yu waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Anyway, I didn't say that those common senses are correct. They want to believe them themselves. Don't blame me."
"Besides." Xia Yu suddenly looked at the twins with a smile on his face, "You are still here. If they react, for the sake of my reputation, I'll have to rely on you to explain."
Rely on us... Human masters must rely on us!
At this moment, the twins' systems instantly heated up, and cheers and excitement kept refreshing. They looked at each other and spoke in a firm tone.
"Don't worry, my human master, we won't let your reputation be damaged!"
