The treasure box was very gorgeous, as if it was filled with gold and silver treasures. But when he opened the box and took a look, Chen Xing was stunned again.
I saw a mess of children's toys piled at the bottom of the box, and most of them were damaged, such as small drums with broken skin, dirty rag dolls with missing arms, half-cut wooden swords, small bowls for playing...
Where is the promised full-level large size, and where is the promised divine outfit?
Chen Xing was furious and was about to question Nova, but when he turned his head and met the little girl's innocent eyes, he suddenly fell silent. It wasn't that his sympathy was overflowing, but that he thought of something else.
The little girl in front of her is the incarnation of Mingwang's mastermind in the virtual world, and her image is customized by her. So, is Nova just like this little girl in her heart, innocent and harmless to humans and animals?
No, absolutely impossible!
Nova has been managing the clear network for nearly three hundred years. It has a deep understanding of human nature and has been drifting in the undercurrent of time and space for a long time. Even though Chen Xing III was a human being, he was just a newborn child in front of her. After settling for such a long time, no matter whether it is a human or a monster, as long as it is intelligent, it is impossible for it to be like this.
So why did Nova do this?
Chen Xing habitually thought about the dark side of human nature and came to the conclusion that Nova was lowering his awareness of defense.
"Human, your adrenaline levels are rising, can you tell me what you're thinking?"
With a flash of green light, Nova changed from a little girl to a young girl, but the image was that of one of the people he was familiar with, wearing a servant skirt and stockings, full of heroic spirit, just like his palace maid Jian Yue Canglian.
Human psychological activities will be reflected in hormone secretion, and Chen Xing, who was wearing a black watch, could easily be detected. However, hormone levels can only reflect tendencies and cannot determine the specific content of thoughts.
"It seems we should have a good talk..." Chen Xing paused and said, "I need to know your purpose and what does that thing mean to you?"
"Jianyue Canglian" showed a mysterious smile, and then walked around Chen Xing, as if looking at a handicraft. Every few seconds, a green light would flash on her body and she would turn into someone familiar to Chen Xing: Ye Yang Bai Liu, Ye Qian, Li Mei, Gui Hu, Li Rou, and A Qiao Mu, constantly changing, as if to warn him that she Know everything about him.
"Have you heard the story about curiosity that killed the cat?" Her voice kept changing with the image, but her tone was the same, with a strong warning, "The more you know, the more dangerous it is."
"If I don't know your intentions, how can I ensure my own safety?" Chen Xing said lightly. Now that the matter has been revealed, there is no need to hide it anymore.
"Are you worried that I will kill you and silence you after I get the thing?" Nova asked, and without waiting for Chen Xing's answer, she added, "No, I still need you to do other things for me. According to my experience during this period, Observe, you should be a good partner.”
"Not bad, why is it good?" Chen Xing asked.
"You are smart and cunning, but you have your own bottom line. According to the calculations in my brain, you have the highest success rate of cooperation among the humans I have come into contact with." Nova said.
"So you think so highly of me?" Chen Xing said in surprise, but his tone was full of disbelief, a bit sarcastic.
"If I were a woman, maybe I would fall in love with you~"
"Alia" winked at him, her playful look was exactly the same as when she defrauded him of money.
"Thank you for your appreciation..." Chen Xing nodded and said, "But don't try to avoid the core issue. I must know the reason."
"You..." Nova, who turned into Lacey Maris, hesitated obviously and said in a long voice, "Are you sure you want to know?"
"I'm sure." Chen Xing said firmly.
"But you don't have a choice."
"Lacie" raised her eyebrows and raised her chin with a proud look, "To be precise, the lives of you and your companions are in my hands."
"With just one command, I can wipe you out and cease to exist."
The voice was mechanically cold, and Chen Xing felt his scalp sting, and a sense of danger came from all directions.
"Perhaps you don't know me well enough..." Although his scalp stung, Chen Xing remained calm, "Have you ever heard of a sentence?" He raised his voice and said loudly, "I'd rather be broken than jade." For tile!”
He spread his hands and looked indifferent, "We are going to die anyway, why not bring some funeral objects? For example..." His tone became meaningful, "That thing..."
Nova was silent, seeming to be thinking, or performing huge calculations.
"I want to go out for a walk..."
After a long time, she replied.
"Going for a walk?" Chen Xing didn't understand.
"I..." Nova hesitated for a while and then said, "I want to repair my body and live like a human being..." Her voice became lower and lower, as if she was talking to herself, "I want to feel the summer sea breeze. , the heater in winter, I want to travel and see the beautiful scenery..."
Want to have a body?
This statement doesn’t sound false. He had also thought that because of the existence of this half-machine, half-living heart, he naturally thought that there might be special life forms in the world that were between machines and living things.
Perhaps this is the "silicon-based life" that scholars have speculated.
"You mean, that thing can be used as a material for you to repair your body?" Chen Xing asked.
"Yes, it is the core part." Nova replied.
"What exactly are you? Mechanical life, silicon-based life, or something else?" Chen Xing asked a series of questions.
"Just like the legend says, I come from a destroyed mechanical civilization and have been sleeping in the undercurrent of time and space for tens of thousands of years."
"For humans, we are higher-level life forms. Our spirit and consciousness have been condensed into primary spiritual bodies, which can be actively transferred to certain substances, such as the thing in your hand. I need to transfer it , and then create a new, complete body.”
"What about Mingwang?" Chen Xing asked subconsciously. He has been in this world for more than ten years and knows the importance of the mastermind of Mingwang. If Nova suddenly disappears, it will be a huge disaster for the entire world.
"I will leave behind a piece of intelligent program and the original body, so that it can continue to serve human society as the master brain of the Clearnet." While speaking, Nova transformed into a translucent light body, "However, the performance will definitely be reduced, but I I believe humans will be able to find a solution soon, after all, I am not the only mastermind, there is also the 'butler' who smells like copper."
"So you need a friend?" Chen Xing concluded.
"More than a friend..." Nova shook her head, "If I can be reborn, you will be my only relative in this world."
The voice was full of melancholy, and Chen Xing's heart couldn't help but twitch.
"I understand, and I will try my best to do it." He said solemnly. No matter whether what the other party said was true or not, at least at this moment, he was a traveler in a foreign land, coming to this strange world alone...
"Thank you, Chen Xing." Nova nodded and saluted Chen Xing.
"Then..." Chen Xing grinned, "Let's talk about equipment."
"you……"
Perhaps it was an illusion, but the whole world seemed to have frozen, and it felt like the mastermind of Mingnet had crashed.
