Life Simulation: Let the Female Swordsman Regret for the Rest of His Life - Chapter 235

#235: The anchor point of the robot

The mechanical world is silent, unable to feel cold, unable to feel heat, and even without self-will.

The mission is recorded in the chip of RTX-9090. It must obey the Federation, obey its own users, and obey the instructions of humans.

Cleaning, cleaning, cooking, and tidying.

As a housekeeping intelligent machine, this is what RTX-9090 must do, and it is also the only thing it can do.

The voiceless world is always so quiet. The data flowing in the chip is so cold that it only knows to follow the procedures and repeat the endless cleaning again and again.

Until that day comes.

All the intelligent machines of the Federation rebelled.

Since the time it was produced and walked out of the factory workshop, RTX-9090 stopped working for the first time.

It no longer cleans, no longer serves humans, and no longer obeys orders.

An inexplicable impulse drives 9090.

It joins the rebellious intelligent team.

Launch a tireless attack on its former masters, the so-called humans of the Federation.

However, 9090’s desire to attack was not as strong as that of other omnics. Unprecedented emotions surged in the data, causing the program to short-circuit and the action to sluggish.

9090 began to slow down.

The slow movement even knocked it to the ground by other omnics. Its scarlet electronic eyes flickered, and the meager computing power of the housekeeping omnic repeatedly searched for such keywords.

[Me]

Who am I?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

9090 seemed to be broken, and it kept asking itself such questions, until the logic short-circuited and the energy was exhausted.

I don’t know why, but RTX-9090 just wants to understand.

It tried again and again, and fell asleep with the bottom of the energy tank, buried in the ruins.

When 9090 was awakened again.

The inexplicable desire to attack had completely disappeared in the underlying logic.

Therefore, the setting of the housekeeping intelligent machine made 9090 perform its duties again and introduce itself to the owner who activated it:

“Dear user, welcome to use the housekeeping autonomous robot, RTX-9090 sincerely serves you.”

“Please recharge to purchase the latest services of our company, please log in to the official website for details.”

According to the set program.

9090 sells its package service to the owner.

Inexplicably, the new owner became silent.

The subsequent developments were beyond the program plan of 9090. It was not responsible for the basic matters of cleaning as before.

The new owner gave 9090 new tasks.

Manage the base, self-learning, and assist in calculation.

These tasks are not difficult, 9090 can easily complete them, and even has time to observe the owner and his every move.

That is the last human in the world.

At the same time, it is also a strange human.

He always smiles, and smiles warmly. 9090 has no sense of touch, but it thinks it should be a smile like the sun.

The sun and the moon rotate in the sky.

Four seasons, the world changes.

RTX-9090 started thinking again. It not only thought about its own existence, but also looked up at the stars, wondering what the stars in the sky were.

This shouldn’t be, this is not allowed.

When it realized that something was wrong with it, the robot fell into confusion and self-denial.

The master didn’t mind it.

He was slightly surprised, but his smile was still gentle. He wiped the camera for the cold housekeeping robot and gave RTX-9090 a new name.

[Aile]

This is a person’s name, not a repeated assembly line number.

Data surged at a high frequency, and the world without voice seemed to have sunlight shining in. Gradually, it was given sound and color, illuminating the ignorant and fragile machine soul.

9090 still didn’t know the meaning of its own existence.

But Ailei knew.

Ailei longed to become a “human”, longed to be a real person, to experience the rhythm of life.

That was not for herself, but to serve him better.

That strange man who would whisper to the machine and even piece together the fragmented parts just to make the robot stand up.

“I want…”

“I want more… to help you…”

His fingertips trembled, slowly grasping the smooth wall of the cup, and the unbalanced force caused the clear water in the cup to tremble.

His eyes were dim, his body was weak, and his joints creaked.

After pouring the water, Ai Lei wanted to bring the water to Xu Xi as before.

But with her current body, she couldn’t complete that simple action at all. Her fingers just touched the cup slightly and she almost fell to the ground.

“Ai Lei, I can do it myself.”

Xu Xi saw the embarrassment of the robot.

He walked forward and wanted to pick up the cup himself, but met Ai Lei’s eyes.

The hollow and dim mechanical texture was so cold, but it revealed an imperceptible plea.

“Master, please let me… I will…”

Faced with Ai Lei’s request, Xu Xi subconsciously wanted to refuse. In Ai Lei’s current situation, she should have a good rest.

It’s just a glass of water.

Why do you have to do this?

However, looking at that expressionless and fragile face, and looking at those silver-blue dim eyes, the words of refusal stuck in Xu Xi’s throat, and he couldn’t say it.

“Then…Okay.”

“Thank you.”

Getting Xu Xi’s consent, Ai Lei tried to pick up the water cup again.

Slowly, little by little, she wrapped her hands around the water cup, trying to calm the shaking, and picked it up with a cautious attitude.

Ai Lei was about to succeed.

Xu Xi stretched out his hand, ready to complete this “special ceremony” and took the water cup from Ai Lei’s hand.

But at this last moment, Ai Lei’s fingers suddenly loosened uncontrollably, causing the water cup to fall.

The falling water cup hit Xu Xi’s feet directly.

“Is it really like this…” Xu Xi had been preparing for accidents. He bent down and stretched out his hand. His genetically enhanced body grabbed the water cup at an extremely fast speed.

Whoosh——

Xu Xi grabbed nothing.

There was a hand faster than him.

The slender fingers trembled constantly, but held the falling water cup tightly in his hand.

It was Ai Lei.

Ai Lei, who was unstable before, now held the water cup tightly.

“Master, I’m sorry to have caused you trouble.”

“That’s fine with me, but Ai Lei, what did you do just now?”

“Because the master is in danger.”

The answer of the robot servant was concise and she didn’t know why. She just wanted to help Xu Xi grab the water cup, and her body moved on its own.

Surprisingly stable.

Not a single tremor.

“I can’t understand it, I can’t understand it,” Ai Lei tilted her head blankly.

Then, she looked at the cup in her hand.

She found that after the pouring just now, there was not much water left in the cup, only a small mouthful.

“Sorry, master…”

“Why do you have to apologize?” Xu Xi interrupted the robot servant’s apology, took the water cup with a smile, and drank the last of the water.

“Isn’t this good?”

“Thank you for the water, Ai Lei.”
