Chapter 261: What else, Ailee?

Life in the simulation is not associated with the word “good”.

Simulation to the present.

The Xu system is still unaware of the nature of the Good Life simulator.

But he felt that it was a typical headline-grabbing scam, and a few simulations were full of tragedy instead of happy endings in life.

In the first simulation, the Xu system died in a siege of demonic cultivators.

For the second simulation, the Xu system is limited by the limits of mortality.

In the third simulation, the Xu system died with the Great Qian Emperor.

And now, the Xu system was experiencing a new kind of death, a slow and silent, erosive necrosis from the inside out.

A carefully crafted torch can be reused many times, and even if individual parts break, it can still blossom with a warm flame.

But if you use it non-stop for a long time.

Even the grips burn together.

Then, after the ultimate bloom, experiencing that flash of miraculous splendor, the torch becomes no longer usable.

Both internally, and externally, they are completely and utterly ablaze.

In the same way, the Xu system, which had forcibly maintained the navigation of starships and created the miracle of escaping from the cage, had come to the silence of life.

There is only so much left.

The seedling flame remaining inside the torch.

Snorting and swaying, it illuminated the burnt look of the torch in a hazy, bleak gesture.

“Welcome back, Master.”

“Airey is at your service at all times.”

When Xu System opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was the treatment pod in operation, and he was lying inside, his vitals maintained by the machine.

Loyal machine servants keep watch.

Inch by inch.

The state of the Xu system was terrible, and the state of the Machine Servant was similarly no better.

The memory of the delicate face, half of which was damaged into a ragged shape, revealed the inner alloy frame and the deep blue oozing electronic machine eyes.

It’s not hard to see.

During Xu’s coma, the machine servant had encountered some dangers.

“Airey ……”

“Master, please don’t move.”

Subconsciously, Xu System wanted to get up from the healing pod, but the weakness of his body struck him as strange, and his limbs were completely out of control.

Even the voice that spoke was as hoarse and unpleasant as the rubbing of stones.

Of course the loyal machine servant would not sit back and watch the Xu system suffer.

She stepped forward quickly.

With hands that had worn off their anthropomorphic skin and taken on a metallic color, they brought Xu System warm water to moisten his throat and held the frail Xu System steady so that he could lie down and sit.

“Thank you, Ailee ……”

Uneasy, trembling.

Xu Department’s small sips of water, that weak posture, the strong open eyes, was taken in by the waiting machine servant at the side.

Her expression was calm, for a loyal machine servant could not worry her master.

Her posture was poised, for the loyal machine servant represented her master’s face.

But the inside of the eye socket.

The blue machine eyes were glowing like a human’s, making rapid tiny flashes at an unnatural frequency.

“This is all …… what I should do,” the cold machinery responded softly, helping the hard to move Xu system, pouring water in small bites.

After a few moments.

Hydrating the Xu system restores a bit of spirit.

The body still had a youthful stance, but moved with the weakness of an old man, and the cloudy eyes looked down first at the injured body, and then at Ailee, whose organism was damaged.

Lastly, there is the environment in which the surroundings are located.

It’s familiar. It’s an escape hatch inside a starship.

Also unfamiliar, as it was the first time I used it.

The metal-paved, enclosed environment brought back memories of Xu System’s distant past, of his time surviving underground in the Sixth Satellite City.

“…… Airey.”

“Yes, I am.”

“Can …… tell me how long the total coma was?”

“Yes, you slept a total of 318 hours, 25 minutes and 22 seconds.”

Ailee answered quickly, with the swiftness and precision that was the hallmark of a wise weapon.

An efficient machine servant can be an aid to his master.

Ailee felt as she did.

“Is that so …… I’ve been in a coma for almost half a month,” Xu Department’s expression was not surprised, he knew better than anyone else how bad his physical condition was.

In fact, it was only by the faint remnants of the burned-out torch that one could now breathe and speak.

Wait until the last vestiges have dissipated.

The Xu system will then see the end of the simulation.

The Xu system was relieved to see Ailee, worried that the machine servant wouldn’t be able to survive on her own after she left.

Though he knew that with Ailee’s special characteristics, surviving in the universe wasn’t a problem.

“Airey.”

In a weak voice, calling out again.

Inside the silver-white escape pod, the man on the verge of extinguishing it, inquired what the machine servant had done, wanting to know how the machine servant had acted while alone.

“I took you on an interstellar disengagement and a successful forced landing on an unoccupied planet.”

“And?”

“I have gathered alternative energy sources for you that will sustain the healing pods for a long time.”

“And?”

“I’ve prepared some food for you, so if you’re hungry, feel free to dine.”

“And?”

“I have prepared a virtual network for you to relieve your boredom through virtual games within the constraints of being physically unable to move.”

to the face that had once smiled gently, but was now pale and weak.

Ailee spoke softly, her voice so calm that it didn’t rise or fall as she answered the Xu system’s questions one by one.

Machine servants are indeed loyal.

Loyal to the point of impeccability.

But that wasn’t the kind of answer Xu System wanted to hear.

Slowly, he closed his heavy eyelids and shook his head by a fine margin.

The voice was husky, but caring could be heard, “Ailee, you’re talking about me, and I want to know what you’ve done for yourself.”

Airey’s hull, the damage was too much.

Repairs should have been possible.

But the machine servant simply ignored it.

This is how she replied, her silver-blue machine eyes reflecting the face of the Xu system, “All resources, all arrangements, must be based on your safety.”

“You need not worry, the wear and tear on this body does not affect normal use.”

The voice was calm.

Logically sound.

As an Intelligent Machine Servant, the first priority should be the master one serves.

Machinery doesn’t hurt, so even if it’s full of wreckage, as if it’s going to be scrapped at any moment in its stance, there’s no need to go through the process of repairing it.

Everything.

It should all be from the perspective of the Hsu system.

Ailee thought so from the bottom of her heart.

“Master, please feel free to recuperate, I’ll take care of everything for you”, the machine servant’s voice was even softer, so light that it seemed to dissolve into the air, as if he was afraid that an excessively loud noise would disturb the Xu system.

There is no mention of whether or not the unknown planet’s environment is hostile.

Not to mention the difficulty of starting from scratch.

Gazing at Xu System’s silhouette, the machine servant merely made a soft reassurance that he would definitely protect Xu System, so that Xu System would not have to worry.

Speaking, whispering of that bright future.

By the time Xu System’s injuries had healed, with the mob characteristics of the Intelligent Armament, he would soon be able to pull together a cosmic fleet again, traveling and exploring the real universe and witnessing alien landscapes.

Yes, as long as the Xu system recovers from its injuries ……
