[Honor of Kings] Bai Liang's Short Story Collection

Tenth & Eleventh of the White Moon,

Ming Jian Yiying X Golden Ratio

What happens when water gets into an appliance?

Electricity leaked, and golden sparks burst out.

No matter how advanced electrical appliances encounter water, the end will be the same.

It's the rainy season recently, and the humidity in the southern sky makes people feel a lot more irritable.Zhuge Liang was slightly worried about the intelligent robot picked up from the garbage dump.

…It should be an intelligent robot, at least it looks like a human being. Its short, light-blond hair looks like it has been coated with a layer of paint. It is very shiny. After being soaked by rain, it hangs softly and docilely on its cheeks.

Judging from its gorgeous appearance and low-key mechanical sense, it should be very advanced.

That face looks like a real person, meticulously crafted and natural, from the handsome eyebrows, cheekbones, nose bridge to thin lips, it is very in line with human aesthetics.

Unfortunately, it got into the water.

Rainwater dripped from the metal gaps all over the body, and a flash of lightning flashed from time to time. The problem was obviously serious.If it is sent for serious maintenance and maintenance, the cost must be too high for him to afford.

Zhuge Liang is just an ordinary people's teacher, and his salary is just enough to meet his daily needs.

He tried his best to wipe off the water stains on the robot's exterior. After thinking about it, he disassembled the parts and wiped it with a dry towel avoiding the circuit board with the strange liquid metal remaining.He even greased its joints a bit when putting it back together.

The next step is to look at the creation of the robot itself.

If I'm lucky, I might be able to restart it, otherwise... it can only be sent to the garbage station for recycling.

The robot lay quietly on the ground, hissing around the elbow, and the fluorescent blue indicator light flashing on and off.

It's like a huge pile of junk.

Zhuge Liang sighed, temporarily put this pile of waste aside, and went to work first.

There are still three math papers waiting for him to correct.

Sixteen and seventeen-year-old students are just at the age when they are full of energy and disobedient to discipline. Their homework and answer sheets are more uncomfortable than the return of damp weather.

Zhuge Liang rubbed his temples to calm himself down.

The study was very quiet, only the swishing sound of the pen tip brushing against the paper, and the quartz clock outside the living room turned silently.

At twelve o'clock, a burst of blue light suddenly burst out on the floor, turning into countless streaks, passing through the silver-gray metal outer body, converging on the small piece of transparent glass on the chest, and flowing into the depths of the heart from the fluorescent gap.

Dongdong, the long-lost heartbeat sounded.

The sleeping humanoid weapon opened his eyes, separated by a layer of water-blue crystal, his sight gradually focused, and he saw a ceiling with three fan blades hanging on it.

Zhuge Liang just finished correcting the last paper, his tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He closed his eyes and rested for a while, then opened them again, and there was an elongated black shadow cast from the front on the table.He froze, gripped the pen tightly, and slowly raised his head.

The robot stood in front of the desk, watching him quietly, with Zhuge Liang's figure reflected in the blue irises.

After opening his eyes, the robot looks handsome and extraordinary. The metal body exposed to the air has a muscle-like sense of strength. It has broad shoulders and long legs, and is very tall. It took Zhuge Liang a while to recognize that this is the piece of scrap iron just now .

"You fixed it yourself?"

A gentle blue light slowly flowed from the other party's body, his lips moved slightly, and a voice came out: "Good evening, sir."

"...Hello." Zhuge Liang looked at him hesitantly.

At this time, it should not be appropriate to call it "it".

However, talking to a robot is a bit beyond his imagination-this kind of scene seems to only appear in future science fiction movies.

Immediately afterwards, the robot spoke: "Star Era 2984, the Sword Forging Pool was reopened. After the data source was shared, they created this body to awaken the ancient weapon consciousness. That is what you see now. , Shadow Sword."

Forging swords... swords?

Zhuge Liang didn't have time to think about the other information in the words of "Hui Ying", his gaze was attracted by the light emanating from his hand, the data flow appeared out of thin air, and surrounded quickly, bursting out with dazzling light.

The light dissipated, and a silver long sword appeared in front of him, held by Shuying, and put it into the sword case behind his back.

Zhuge Liang's ears still faintly echoed the ancient music, and the chanting accompanied by the buzzing of the sword blade gradually fell silent.

Shuying, this robot from the future opened its arms towards him.

"You woke me up."

Zhuge Liang was held tightly in his arms by metal arms, unable to move, the cold fuselage pressed against his chest, and a deep voice sounded: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

He pushed Yingying's chest with difficulty: "Loose...let go first."

He can't breathe!

……

Zhuge Liang never thought that he would meet a high-level bionic person who accidentally fell into the gap of time and space and traveled thousands of years from the future.

According to Yingying's self-introduction, he was originally a sword.

To be precise, his consciousness was born from a sword... well, it sounds weird.Zhuge Liang rubbed his brows, tried to think about what the bionic man in science fiction movies could do, and asked expectantly: "Can you do housework? Can you cook, sweep the floor, fix...light bulbs?"

"..."

The humanoid weapon fell silent.

Huiying said: "I am a sword."

"This is an era of peace." Zhuge Liang told him patiently, "No matter what interstellar war you have in the future, you still have to go back to the past to participate in the ancient war...Anyway, if you go to the wrong place, you should live according to the rules of this era."

The android looked at him in bewilderment, as if digesting his message.

Zhuge Liang said again: "Can you find a way to go back? You must know that the maintenance cost of advanced robots is very expensive, and I may not be able to support you."

Shuying slowly shook his head.

He just woke up and doesn't have much memory, he only knows that he is a sword that was born to fight.

But now, the person who woke him up told him that he didn't need to fight here.He fell into... the confusion of being a robot.

But Shuying is a sword that can bend and stretch.

Before finding his way home, he decided to stay with Zhuge Liang.

"You have to put the sword away, or you will scare others." Zhuge Liang told him.

Huiying obeyed his instructions and hid the sword box on the back of the machine board.

Zhuge Liang found human clothes for him again, trying to dress him up as a normal person.

The bionic man is tall, with wide shoulders and narrow waist, and a standard model figure. When he stands there quietly and does not speak, it is still very deceptive.Zhuge Liang rummaged through his closet and was not very satisfied. He suddenly remembered that there were props and costumes left by the students when they performed stage plays in the basement.

The red silk curtain and King Arthur's cloak were cut to make a coat for Suiying.

Something was missing.

He was thinking, and when he heard a slight movement, he turned his head and saw that Shuying dragged out a long white cloth from the box in the corner, which was covered with scribbled handwriting.

"Ah, that's for calligraphy performances..." Before Zhuge Liang could finish speaking, Shui Ying lifted it up, wrapped it around her waist, and calmly tied it with a belt through it.

It seems that he likes these words very much.

Everyone has their own attachments, Zhuge Liang did not impose his own aesthetic standards on him.

He continued: "You've got to have a decent name."

"My name is Shuying." The bionic man said quickly.

Zhuge Liang ignored it, his eyes fell on the cursive calligraphy on his waist, and he read out unconsciously: "The mountains are high and the water is long, and there are thousands of objects. If you have an old brush, there is nothing poor about it. Go to the balcony on the eighteenth..."

On the balcony post, the last two words are signatures, Taibai.

Zhuge Liang made a final decision: "Your name is Li Bai."

"……receive."

The android had no objection and accepted the new name without any obstacles.

He began to observe Zhuge Liang's daily life, every move, and then applied it to himself.

Zhuge Liang felt that he was a little too clingy, and even when he was about to go back to work after his short vacation, he followed him step by step and planned to go out together.

Zhuge Liang persuaded him: "There's no need for this. I'm going to class and work to make money. Can you understand? If you want to study, you can take a walk in the park, or go to the mall to buy something for yourself. I don't know you like to drink What brand of lubricating oil..."

Li Bai said, "I don't drink lubricating oil."

Oh, Zhuge Liang replied dryly: "The gasoline? Diesel?"

The bionic man felt that he had misunderstood him a bit, and frowned slightly, but now is not a good time to explain, and it will be the rush hour for work soon, Zhuge Liang is in a hurry to go out, and doesn't want to get too entangled with him.

He said quickly, "I can go to lectures and learn math."

Zhuge Liang gave up: "...then it's up to you."

"We have to hurry up, we are in a hurry." Zhuge Liang looked at the watch on his wrist and urged Li Bai.

Li Bai walked out of the elevator with his head down, hiding the silver luster on his irises. He had already downloaded the city map and confirmed Zhuge Liang's work location: "It's only twenty kilometers away, and we'll be there soon."

"There's a lot of people in the subway—"

Zhuge Liang stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech, and opened his eyes wide in surprise.

Li Bai bent down, put his hands on his buttocks, and lifted him up lightly.He raised his head hastily, and met Li Bai's eyes. There seemed to be many streams of data flashing in the blue irises.

"Soon." He assured him.

Zhuge Liang grasped his chest tightly, leaned against his neck in a daze, squinted his eyes, and looked at the shrinking city outline under his feet.

"too exaggerated."

He said weakly: "Ordinary people don't go to work like this!"

Li Bai looked down at him: "But this is very fast."

"People...well, most people are not used to such a fast-paced life." Zhuge Liang said euphemistically.

Li Bai nodded, and wrote down in his black box: Slow down.

Li Bai and Zhuge Liang went in and out together for a few days, and soon, the whole school knew that Mr. Zhuge had a tall and handsome boyfriend who came over every day to take classes and stared at him. Lift it up and throw it outside the classroom as punishment.

It can be called the top ten boyfriends in China.

Zhuge Liang: "...that's not a boyfriend."

Everyone doesn't believe it.

Zhuge Liang wanted to explain, but was stumped, yes, so what is their relationship?

roommate?Landlord and Tenant?

No, Li Bai didn't spend a penny, he took the initiative to provide him with food and shelter...

Understood, the colleagues in the teaching and research group concluded, you have raised a little boy.

"..."

Zhuge Liang thought, no, they definitely have no abnormal physical relationship.

Not emotionally, of course.

What kind of relationship can you have with a bionic person?

Although, this guy is really handsome...Maybe in some future era, it will still be the kind of popular, special service...household robot.

Zhuge Liang was about to go back to class, when he saw Li Bai surrounded by people in the corridor, begging for contact information.

When the bionic man was not speaking, his face was very cold, and his eyes were emotionless, which made people feel creepy.He still remembered that he woke up silently under the gaze of these eyes in the morning, and always felt the coolness behind him...

He didn't want Li Bai to scare his students, so he pulled him out of the crowd.

"You go to the office and sit for a while. I have been here all the time. I can't attend class." Zhuge Liang patiently explained to him, "There are too many people listening in these days..."

He will be troubled.

Li Bai asked, "Is it like this before?"

Zhuge Liang thought about it, and there were indeed students from other than professional courses who came to attend the lectures before, but certainly not as many as now.

He looked at Li Bai. He was half a head taller than himself. The metal body perfectly simulated the muscles of a human being. He was strong and strong but not exaggerated. Appeal.

"Maybe it's because..." Zhuge Liang said vaguely, "There are few good men in the first place, and there are even fewer good men."

Li Bai: ...?

Li Bai didn't fully understand what Zhuge Liang said, so he used his own database to check it online.

The combination of zeros and ones is familiar to any bionic person made of data.

Although Zhuge Liang didn't seem to mean that when he said it...but no matter what he was implying, it must have something to do with him.

Li Bai pondered slowly, and suddenly understood that Zhuge Liang might have taken a fancy to his body and wanted him to provide special services.

Hmm...it's not impossible.

As a humanoid weapon, in Li Bai's established cognition, the appreciation, praise and recognition of his own body are all affirmations of his existence.

While thinking, he watched a few teaching videos by the way.

It's not complicated, it's nothing more than the collision of each other, simple explanations, seven ins and seven outs...whatever.

Li Bai understood again.

He was born with a sword, and he was drawn out of its sheath like the chant of a dragon and a tiger.It is his instinct and glory to enter and exit other people's bodies.

That night, as soon as Zhuge Liang walked out of the bathroom, he was pulled to the bedside by the ready-to-go bionic man and stretched out his hand to push him.

He fell on his back on the bed with a panicked expression. He watched Li Bai stretch out his hand and pressed it beside him, with a cold and handsome face facing himself.

Zhuge Liang's heart beat faster, and his first reaction was that the most terrible thing happened, the artificial intelligence was about to rebel!

He had just finished taking a shower, and he was only wearing a bathrobe. He was even defenseless, and his belt was exposed in front of Li Bai, within reach.

When he came back to his senses, he was almost completely stripped, his undried hair was wet and scattered on the bed sheet, his cheeks were flushed, and he didn't know whether it was from the hot bath or from being frightened by the other party.

"Li Bai!"

The bionic man sensed his panic and anger, but didn't understand where these emotions came from, and said seriously: "I can be very fierce."

……what?

Zhuge Liang slowly remembered what they had talked about during the day, and only then did he understand what Li Bai meant.

——"I have no such intentions for you!"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly explained, still a little shy.He hastily pulled the bathrobe together to cover his body.

But in Li Bai's view, this is very unconvincing.

"You're blushing." He said, and at the same time detected that Zhuge Liang's body temperature was rising and his heart was beating faster, he pointed it out frankly, "You must have a plan."

Zhuge Liang: "..."

In the face of data, all excuses seem to be in vain.

What's more, Li Bai not only has real data, he also has the power he can't resist.
