The mechanic.

Chapter 80 The Ordinary World

The layout of the hotel is also similar to the outside, with blue and white as the main colors.Behind the registration desk, a smiling butler robot said kindly, "Welcome to Dream of Crete! I'm Luke the butler, how many people need to check in?"

Lucille said skillfully to the robot, "They are my friends, they don't need to be entered into the system. Close the vacancy of the honeymoon suite on the third floor near the escape stairs."

Luke said cheerfully, "Yes, Lucille."

It seems that this Lucille is the owner of this hotel?

The corridors are narrow and filled with a faint smell of cigarettes.There is no elevator, only a long and winding classical staircase. Often people walk up and down the stairs quickly, and a group of people have to turn sideways and push each other in embarrassment.The temperament of the residents here is slightly different from the people on the street outside. There are more vigilance in their eyes, and even occasionally men acting alone can be seen.

The three of them followed Lucille into the suite on the third floor closest to the escape stairs.A very Mediterranean room, but like most rooms in the normal world, every wall can be transformed into a screen.At this time, a 3D beach scene with a sense of depth was played on one wall. The waves slapped on the beach with silver lines, the breeze blew the flexible leaves of the palm trees, and occasionally seabirds passed by with a long sound.The scene is so vivid that one can feel the salty wind blowing on the sea.

Zhang Xun once thought of transforming the walls of the Lab into this, but finally gave up the plan due to insufficient funds.

The suite has a huge bed that can sleep almost five or six people, and a full shelf of alcohol, everything from red wine to vodka.When Diego saw the shelf of wine, his eyes glowed green, and he leaned over to pour himself a glass of vodka with a salivating face.

Lucille leaned on the bar, sized up James and Zhang Xun with sharp gray eyes, "Who are you from Paradise Lost?"

James glanced at Diego vigilantly, and the latter said, "You can trust her, she will do her best to help us."

Zhang Xun then said, "My name is Zhang Xun, and I am the mechanic of Paradise Lost."

Lucille raised her eyebrows, "Mechanic? What crime did you commit? Did you get evicted or did you escape?"

Before Zhang Xun could speak, James replied first, "I offended a chief, and I can't get along anymore."

Lucille's critical eyes shifted to the hunter, "I seem to have seen you, you occasionally appear around Hope Town. Are you a hunter?"

"My name is James."

"A mechanic, a hunter, and an alcoholic." Lucille chuckled lightly, resting her cheek with her hand, "Interesting combination. How much money do you have?"

The rapid change of the topic made Zhang Xun unable to react, and he realized that he didn't even have a dime on him.

All the money is still in the Lab...

Diego said with ease, "It's the old rules, we'll help you work to pay off your debts."

However, James smiled calmly, "It's not necessary." Then he took off his backpack and dug in it for a long time, and he actually took out a thick wad of universal coins.

Zhang Xun opened his mouth slightly. He didn't know that James was so rich?Invisible rich?

Then why is he still wearing that frayed fur coat all day long?

Lucille took the wad of money with satisfaction, her critical eyes turned into appreciation.Nowadays, in the ordinary world, few people use banknotes, and they all use Button for electronic currency transmission.But in the black market, paper money is still the safest and least traceable currency.People who know how to pay with paper money must know some rules.

"Okay, you're living here now, it's safe here. Don't go out if you have nothing to do. I'll come to you after I make arrangements." After Lucille finished speaking, she connected with the three of them through the information transmission channel, and stroked herself gracefully. With silver hair, he winked at Zhang Xun and left.

The three big men dressed in women's clothing looked at each other, and looked at the big bed in unison.

"Hey, how do you two sleep? Let me remind you first, I sleep very badly." Diego grinned at the two of them, showing his white teeth.

............................................................

The hotel's restaurant and bar are combined.Dim lighting and punk-style music, tables and tables of people—mostly women—talk in low voices, or drink and dine in silence, pervading a slightly depressing, private atmosphere, causing any sudden entry All outsiders feel like sitting on pins and needles.

So Zhang Xun regretted his decision to come here for a drink.

James still didn't trust Lucille very much, and insisted on going out to investigate the surrounding environment to ensure that he was not being followed or monitored.Diego himself was asleep in the house with the wine bottle in his arms.Zhang Xun wanted to use the computer in the room to check Pan's core module, but his ears hurt from Diego's thunderous snoring, so he wanted to go to the bar to find something to eat.

It was getting late at this time, and he sat on a sofa seat in a corner under some scrutinizing eyes.

"Hi, I'm Enoch, your waiter, what would you like to order?"

Very magnetic male voice, rarely heard in the ordinary world.Zhang Xun turned his head and saw a well-made bionic service robot.With a tall and straight figure, and a soft and beautiful facial contour without losing the details, he looks a bit like a handsome man in ancient Greece, with dark brown hair combed back neatly, but a pair of clear blue eyes, inexplicably let Zhang Thinking of the other pair of eyes, Xun felt a sharp pain in his heart.

He cleared his throat, trying to hide his emotion.

In fact, there is no need, after all, the other party is just a service robot.

"Any recommendations?"

"Today's special is roasted rabbit with Greek salad, roasted potatoes and onion soup. In addition, our lemongrass chicken pasta is also selling well." The robot calling itself Enoch introduced it dutifully and gently.

Zhang Xun looked at the menu absent-mindedly, and said, "Then let's have roasted rabbit."

"Okay, do you want a drink?"

Zhang Xun usually seldom drinks alcohol while eating, but tonight he suddenly wanted to drink some, but not like Diego did with the wine bottle... He looked at the string of particularly particular cocktail names on the menu , After a while, he said, "A glass of whiskey."

Food and wine were served quickly.But in the end Zhang Xun didn't take a few mouthfuls of food, but ordered another glass of wine.

"Excuse me, is the food not to your liking?" Enuo appeared by his side again at some point, leaning slightly and asked with concern.

Zhang Xun glanced at him in surprise, thinking that the complexity of the robot's neural network might be more complicated than he imagined, and his expression was so sincere.

"No, I'm not too hungry." Zhang Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, smiling a little forcedly.

Enoch did not leave as he thought, but asked further, "Are you in a bad mood?"

Zhang Xun raised his eyebrows and looked at the robot.

Can read emotions?

Looking at how poor this hotel is, can they afford such sophisticated service robots?

This made Zhang Xun a little interested.After all, he hasn't had much chance to talk to robots in the normal world.

"How did you judge that I was in a bad mood?" Zhang Xun asked with great interest.

Enoch stared at him intently with unblinking blue eyes, and replied earnestly, "Your eyebrows are slightly raised inside, the corners of your mouth are drooping, and your shoulders are drooping, which are very typical sad body language. And you seldom eat, but The non-stop intake of alcohol is likely to hope that by using alcohol to stimulate the secretion of dopamine, it will give oneself a short-term pleasure and reduce inner pressure. "

Zhang Xun laughed twice, and continued to ask, "If I'm really in a bad mood, do you have a solution?"

The corners of Enoch's mouth pulled out a perfect arc, "I can provide you with several solutions that suit you. For example, you can tell me your unhappiness. There are enough research data to show that talking about pain can relieve pain. Or , I can give you a hug or other physical contact you want, this method also has a lot of research evidence, it can effectively calm negative emotions.”

If it weren't for the other party's serious answer, Zhang Xun would have almost thought that the robot was molesting him...

He couldn't help bursting out laughing, but this made Enoch even more confused, tilting his head slightly and said, "It seems that your pain has been alleviated, but I haven't implemented any measures yet."

"No, no, you have done a good job. Thank you." Zhang Xun smiled at the robot, and saw the service level evaluation page displayed on the robot's badge, so he stretched out his hand and clicked out of five stars, " You're a great robot."

If it was the previous Zhang Xun, he would not say thank you to the robot.In the past, he was the same as everyone else, only using AI as a tool. Anyway, they have no such thing as emotion, and no matter how rude they are treated, they will not feel any difference.

But now Zhang Xun knows that sometimes his attitude towards them does not affect them, but himself.

Enuo showed a very happy expression, which was probably triggered by the full score evaluation, "Thank you very much for your affirmation, I am very happy to serve you."

Zhang Xun thought that was the only intersection he had with this robot.

Until the next morning, when Zhang Xun heard someone knocking on the door, and the other two people just turned over and did not get up, he had no choice but to yawn and put on his nightgown, grabbed the voice changer and stuck it to his throat. He opened the door and said, "Who is it?"

"Hi, Ms. Lucille has a message for you."

Why is the voice so familiar?

Zhang Xun then opened the door a little and looked out.

Isn't this the service robot Enoch from last night? !

I saw Enoch still wearing the black vest and white shirt suit when he was working in the restaurant, standing upright at his door, holding a tray with one hand in the way of a British butler, and there was a lonely folded piece of paper on it.

"You... you wait for a while!"

Zhang Xun quickly picked up the wig and put it on his head, gathered up the pajamas and fastened the belt, and then closed the bedroom door to prevent the other two old men who hadn't had time to put on their women's clothes to get in the way.Only then did he open the door.

Enoch stood in the same position with a smile on his face, "Good morning." Then he stepped into the room.

Zhang Xun closed the door, picked up the note from the tray, and looked at it.Lucille's handwriting was so flying that it was hard to decipher. It was barely recognizable to say that she had contacted some friends, but the road to New Zealand was not smooth, and she was still making new arrangements, telling them not to worry.

Probably because he was worried that the information would be intercepted, so he chose to use pen and paper to send the message?

But he didn't know Lucille well either, so he wasn't sure if it was hers.Fortunately, Button vibrated on the back of his hand, and a line of words appeared in his eyes, "You have a new message from Ms. Lucille, do you want to check it?"

Lucille's message is also very simple, basically let them read the letter she left in the hotel.

Looks like it's her...

"Thank you." After Zhang Xun finished speaking, he turned around and put the note on the table, intending to let Diego look at it when he woke up.But when he turned around, he found that Enoch was still standing there.

"Um, why are you still here?" Zhang Xun had a slight headache.

Enoch said, "Ms. Lucille modified my parameters and asked me to serve you three exclusively. So I will stay here. You can rest assured that I can enter the standby state without making any sound or leaking Any of your privacy includes conversations, images, etc. to third parties..."

"Wait a minute... Serving us exclusively? What do you mean?" Zhang Xun said while picking up the note and flipping it to the back, only to see what she wrote, "I left a modified robot as your bodyguard. .If you need to leave the hotel these days, take it with you for self-defense."

Zhang Xun frowned and looked at Enuo, but saw that the latter was already standing in a corner of the room, with straight eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had entered a standby state...

Why do I always feel that this robot's smile is a bit... cunning?
