Chapter 254: I’m just a little tired

What is it like to communicate with a machine spirit?

It’s amazing.

It’s subtle.

On the cold metal, looking for that special spirituality, as if entering into another dimension, interacting in a world that is uniquely mechanical.

That kind of interaction is not considered a bad thing by the Xu system.

Word effects based on machine-soul pleasure.

The machine-souls he met carried good intentions and tried their best to help in every way they could.

Like Ai Lei’s machine soul, it had even metamorphosed and evolved as a result, becoming a high-dimensional gesture that Xu system couldn’t understand, which could be called divine.

But.

Everything must be done in moderation.

“Ever since I decided to develop the curvature engine, I’ve been communicating frequently with machine souls, all the time, establishing contact with all kinds of machine souls.”

“Such frequency, such intensity ……”

“It is normal for the body to be unable to support itself, and the mere fact that it is stiff and sluggish as a result is rather much lighter than the expected consequences.”

The Xu system looked at his palms.

The texture of the palm, spreading like a nerve vein, is fine and intertwined.

When the fingers are flexed and moved, the palm lines are squeezed and change shape.

The Machine Souls existed like five fingers apart, and when they were active, they listened to the resonance of the Xu system and interacted.

The body is the “center of the palm”.

Without realizing it, the Xu system had been affected by the machine souls, undergoing some imperceptible changes.

In response, Department Xu just lost his smile and shook his head, lamenting the high intensity of his work before ignoring the side effect.

He is the one who must die.

The presence or absence of side effects is not a consideration.

The Xu system knew only one thing.

He needed to continue to resonate the spirit of the machine and use his mechanical power to gain a chance for that desperate tomorrow.

“But what to say.”

The Xu system rose, head slightly elevated, looking off into the distance at the dull, man-made sunset with an emotional tone:

“Whether it’s a transcendental world or a sci-fi world.”

“Human life.”

“All are as fragile as dreams and bubbles, broken by the slightest touch ……”

The afterglow of the setting sun poured over the sea of blue and purple flowers.

When the wind is blowing, the blue-violet glow is flooded with orange and yellow veils, and the branches and leaves beat the petals of the flowers, creating a beautiful wave of rustling sound.

That’s the flower of the shooting star.

One of the flower species brought from the Federation planets.

Remembering that Ai Lei liked this kind of flower, Xu System specially divided an area and planted all the blue-purple Flowers of Meteor.

The words of that gorgeous flower he remembered to this day.

Loyalty, freedom, and eternal love.

Very fitting for Airey’s floral language.

The first one, was Ailee’s self-perception; the last two, were the things that the Xu system wanted Ailee to have.

“Love, what exactly is it ……,” the machine servant had inquired in a bewildered tone in the old days, holding Xu system’s arm.

The Xu system could not give an answer, because true love never has a fixed answer.

Later.

The machine servant stopped asking questions.

I don’t know if I have my own answer or if I don’t feel the need to know the answer.

“Master.”

A voice came from the back, awakening the wandering Xu system.

It’s the current time period where Airey comes in.

“You, why do you keep looking at me?” , the girl was a little puzzled.

“It’s nothing, it just suddenly struck me that Ailee looks better than usual today”, the Xu system controlled himself to break into a smile and reached out to stroke the top of the maid’s head.

Ailee didn’t feel like something was quite right, but her ears were twitching so fast that she quickly forgot about it.

……

[You notice what’s wrong with your body and find out what’s really wrong]

“That’s what you live for.

[It’s your ability to survive in the wasteland world and make it all the way to this point.]

[If you want to avoid side effects, the best thing you can do is to suspend the resonator soul and let the body and mind recover naturally]

[Correspondingly, the speed of your R&D technology will be greatly reduced]

[You look up at the sky and without any hesitation, make your own decision and continue to resonate the soul of the machine until the end of this simulation]

Current life.

It’s actually a bit painful.

Struggling hopelessly in a starry prison.

Single closed universe environment.

Loss of human machine-soul resonance.

The simulation has been going on for a long time now, and the rewards have long been disproportionate to the effort.

However, with Xu System’s character, he didn’t value that is all.

“Before the end of the simulation, I have to research as much technology as I can to make up for the antimatter engine and the energy decay engine, as well as the final lack of gravitational technology.”

“It’s the only way to do it, it’s the only way to do it.”

“It’s what will create hope for Ailee to get out of this.”

The Xu system whispered softly to himself and once again threw himself into his busy research, not revealing that sense of sluggishness in order to avoid worrying his loyal machine servant.

The idea of the Xu system was simple.

There was no way he could stop the experiment, which meant that the mental and physical retardation would continue to worsen.

In that case, we might as well hide it from the machine servant.

Lest the machine servant feel worried.

Researching technology, living day-to-day, and continuing to pop bugs in the head.

Xu Xiang thought to himself that his acting skills were spot on, and despite the increasingly weak emotional feedback, he was able to control his expression, either smiling or helpless at the right time.

But such a perfect disguise still seemed to be seen through by Ailee.

I don’t know when it started.

Gradually, slowly, in every moment of the process of getting along, those silver-blue calm eyes always gazed at the figure of the Xu system.

Until one day, the machine servant opened his mouth to ask about the Xu system.

“Master, are you sick?”

The voice was calm, the face was bland, but when he spoke, he couldn’t stop shaking at his shoulders.

“I’m fine, Ailee.”

“Just slightly tired from all the recent experiments.”

The Xu system controlled the muscles in his face and forced a smile, reaching out to rub Ailee’s hair as he had done before.

Is that really all there is to it?

In the faint flickering glow, Ailee’s silver-blue machine eyes, showing the inner circle of light marks that were abnormal high-frequency dips and rises.

“Please …… stop this, you need to rest.”

Ailee was a little speechless.

A shivering sound clogged the sounding module of the body.

“It will be later, Ailee.”

The Xu system spoke out gently, agreeing to the machine servant’s request, but the later in his mouth did not give a specific time.

The interior was dimly lit.

But there was the hot, golden sunlight, which entered the house along the windows and shone in a long, slanting halo.

It fell on the machine servant’s hair and clothed it in a divine golden splendor.

The Xu system stood across from Ailee, palms moving in the light, gently rubbing the top of Ailee’s head, watching as the cold machinery perfected its humanity and gradually became dazzling.

In this regard, the Department of Xu felt heartfelt relief.

Contrast this with.

It’s the more and more retarded he is himself.

The Xu system’s emotions were fading a little, being affected by the machine spirits on the starship, slowly, no longer acting like a normal person.

“…… Well, I trust you.”

Ai Lei was touched by Xu Xiang, feeling the warm touch on the top of her head, she trembled as she tried to smile in response to Xu Xiang, but her smile was badly distorted.

It was hard to see, the smile was especially hard, the features trembled, it was worse than crying.
