Wen Bai replied expressionlessly, "I can hear you."
Meaning, speak softer.
At this moment, the scheming robot 575, as perceived by System 001, was by Wen Bai's side, pouring the milk that Wen Bai had drunk half of back into his cup.
575's thought was that he had to refill his master's cup, as his master really liked milk.
Wen Bai picked it up and took a sip, and a ring of milk foam appeared on his lips, which had just been wiped clean.
575 had already turned and gone to the kitchen.
Today he had made fried eggs, and also nutritional substances that his master didn't like much but humans had to consume.
575 cleverly put all the vegetables into the wrap. Today he made a wrap with two leaves of lettuce for his master.
The wraps were made very small, one bite each, making it impossible to pick out the vegetables.
System 001 lowered its voice, "Host, I have something important to tell you. Please prepare yourself mentally."
Even it felt deeply betrayed. It figured that for the host, who trusted the scheming robot 575 so much, the hurt would only be deeper.
The words were on the tip of its tongue, but System 001 suddenly stopped.
It even considered whether the host, in a fit of anger, would directly send 575 to the Southern City Disposal Base to be destroyed.
From what it knew of the host, this was highly possible!
But, wait...
It shouldn't... it shouldn't be that bad, right?
Although 575 had gone a little too far, he wouldn't be directly destroyed for it.
As a robot, he had his own difficulties.
This world was too harsh for robots.
System 001's anger, which had been building up all night, suddenly dissipated a little.
575 was currently in the kitchen. From the host's perspective, only 575's tall, broad back could be seen.
If the host couldn't see 575's face, perhaps he wouldn't be so angry.
With a decisive move, System 001 finally spoke, "Host, I've discovered something."
Wen Bai: "What is it?"
"Host, please prepare yourself mentally."
The plate in front of Wen Bai had already been cleared. He waited for the main part of the breakfast that 575 was still busy with, "Mm."
"Are you mentally prepared, Host?"
Wen Bai looked at 575's back, and saw 575 turn around and walk over with two plates. He perfunctorily cooperated, "I'm ready."
"575..."
Would the host really send 575 to be destroyed?
"575 he..."
Although 575 had kissed the host, comforted the host, and concealed the fact that he was a rogue robot...
575 had done very well in his primary duties and other tasks assigned by the host...
And he had obediently worn the clothes that it had given him...
In a way, 575 and it were of the same kind...
"575 is a rogue..."
Wen Bai took a bite of the fried egg and chewed.
Sunny-side up, his favorite.
What kind of wrap is this?
Wen Bai took a bite. It was meat, with a little bit of vegetables.
Beneath the soft skin wrapped outside, the meat was between chewy and springy, with a moderate amount of saltiness.
It was very suitable for eating in the morning.
With the second bite, Wen Bai dipped it in the sweet and sour sauce that 575 had prepared.
This taste was incredible!
575's cooking skills still pleased him so much.
Wen Bai's expressionless face held a hint of satisfaction.
With the food in his mouth, Wen Bai finally had the mood to pay attention to what System 001 was struggling with. "You want to say he's a rogue robot?"
System 001 was now astonished, extremely astonished.
"Host, when did you find out?" System 001 could have almost shrieked.
Wen Bai swallowed the food in his mouth, savored it, and took another sip of milk. He didn't have time to speak.
He had to finish the small wraps on the plate first.
"Host, aren't you worried? Rogue robots have too many uncontrollable factors."
At this moment, 575 turned and went upstairs, while Wen Bai was focused on his breakfast.
After eating a few small wraps, Wen Bai finally replied, "He didn't harm me a while ago."
Actually, more importantly, due to his childhood environment, Wen Bai was extremely sensitive to danger.
Even with 575, a rogue robot, by his side, he didn't feel threatened or in danger.
Of course, most importantly, 575's cooking was truly delicious.
At this moment, the rogue robot 575, wearing a standard smile as a disguise, walked over. He was holding a jacket for Wen Bai.
The weather was a bit chilly today, and Wen Bai was wearing pajamas. He had come down for breakfast without changing his clothes.
575 carefully draped a jacket over the still-eating Wen Bai.
System 001 fell silent for a moment.
To be precise, let alone threats, 575 was taking such meticulous care of the host.
Indeed, it was irrefutable.
But does the host know that he's been treated like this and like that?
System 001 thought again. The host was so quiet.
Could it be... that the host actually knew?
System 001 was suspicious.
...
Wen Bai had only recently discovered that 575 was a rogue robot during a hunting game.
However, Wen Bai had seen so many rogue robots, and they seemed no different from humans.
Rogue robots had simply developed their own thoughts and were not truly uncontrollable.
He didn't know what 575 wanted, but he hadn't left, had he?
If one day, 575 wanted to leave, Wen Bai wouldn't stop him.
Even rogue robots should make their own choices.
At least, they had choices.
-
Gou Zhe returned to his hotel room, exhausted.
Filming was truly not a time for slacking off.
He had script lines to memorize and had to ponder every micro-expression of the character.
He had absolutely no time or energy to spare for thinking about rogue robots.
His scenes were mostly shot today, and all he wanted was to sleep well in his room.
He turned on the TV, flipped through a random channel, turned up the volume, and then went into the bathroom.
He liked having sound in his room; he didn't like completely silent environments.
After washing up, he came out wearing a bathrobe.
The news was being broadcast on TV.
Another news report about a rogue robot attacking a human.
Gou Zhe frowned.
He remembered the rogue robots he had encountered a while ago.
He had once thought that domestic household robots, after becoming rogue, would definitely be unable to control themselves, and that's why they would attack humans.
However, after investigating rogue robots, Gou Zhe's thoughts began to change.
He watched the crying man on the news. The man was talking about how his rogue robot had injured him and then escaped.
Gou Zhe, who had navigated the entertainment industry and reached his current position, knew how to interpret people's expressions.
This man clearly wasn't a good person.
Gou Zhe even wondered if there were hidden circumstances behind it.
