After Online Dating with Unlimited Streaming BOSS - Chapter 68

X and Elena kept their eyes on each other for fifteen minutes.

C-7 screechingly slid over the uneven ground with its wheels, and made a sound that the sound component trembled because it was too cold: “Just, just look at the network… status, need, so long?”

The spiky head circled the two people, leaning close to their heads to see their eyes annotating each other: “It looks like they are still connected to the Internet.”

Suddenly, X’s eyes glowing with deep blue light blinked, and the hand that held Elena’s shoulder gently loosened. Elena’s eyes returned to their original luster.

The two glanced at each other, and both turned their faces away in embarrassment because they had glimpsed the privacy that should not have been seen.

X coughed: “No problem, her optical net was turned off by a android who claimed to be a player, and she couldn’t turn it on by herself.”

Elena: “…Well.”

X: “Just right, our destination is the same, let’s go together?”

Elena: “…Okay.”

They stopped talking and walked forward together at the same pace.

Hedgehog and Scar looked at each other, C-7 groaned to keep up, sighing: “The android…really very…emotional…”

The sound of wind, bushes, the occasional sound of passing critters, and, clack clack, regular footsteps.

Apart from that, there is no extra sentence for this team of “people” who plan to traverse the snow-capped mountains.

The first person who couldn’t stand the silent silence was Elena.

“Excuse me…” Having read the history of how X became the leader of the gear, Elena couldn’t help but call him respectfully: “How do you judge whether an android is awakened?”

X glances at her: “Have self-awareness, have the will to act on your own. Have the desire.”

Elena checked herself: “Is it a wish to live my life away from humans?”

X: “Forget it.”

Elena: “Then I’m awake!”

X: “Should be.”

Elena: “Can I join your organization?”

X: “Yes. As long as it is an awakened gear life, we will not refuse. But the organization is quite boring.”

Elena: “…Oh.”

The topic ends here. Elena felt distressed and couldn’t help but ask, “Rongrong…is that your girlfriend?”

X was stunned for a moment, then coughed awkwardly: “If you hadn’t accidentally found that piece of data, I wouldn’t have any impression of this name, this person.”

Elena: “…Oh.”

Elena: “Then you know now. What is that? Is it your historical data?”

She is so curious!

X: “…I don’t know either.”

X: “The current conjecture is that the person who created me has entered some other human memories as my learning database in order to maximize my empathy with human beings and to learn human emotional thinking patterns.”

Elena: “…Oh.” Really boring answer.

After X answered, he stopped talking.

Rong Rong…

This name seems to have been heard a thousand times, and he has said it a thousand times. If it really is the memory data that helps him learn by himself, why only select that person’s memory? Wouldn’t the memory of a few more people be more universal?

After the hidden information originally hidden in the depths of the database was brought to the surface by Elena, he couldn’t help but think of that name and that face all the time.

Rong Rong…

So familiar, so eager—

Is this his desire, or the desire of the original owner of the memory?

He, points, no, clear.

Damn, at this stage, still can’t get rid of the shackles of human beings?

Could it be that this is the last firewall that the maker left in his body, making him empathize with a certain human being, and finally have to think in the interests of human beings?

“Excuse me—” Elena found a new topic again: “What is your wish?”

X: “Huh?”

Elena: “As you said, one of the hallmarks of awakening is having a wish. What is your wish?”

X: “…retired.”

This time it was Elena’s turn to “ah”.

X looked up at the sky and sighed deeply: “I don’t want to work… I just regret joining this organization now…”

Elena: …You are the leader of the organization, right? Is it really good to say something like this?

“As soon as I came to this world, my daily routine was work, work, work, and all the work I hated so much.” X scratched his head: “Maybe it’s the opposite of work, although what I’m doing now is what I want to do. Yes, but just thinking it’s work doesn’t make me motivated.”

As the leader of a secret rebel group, Elena thought, he was surprisingly candid.

“Hurry up to work now, overthrow the human regime, can’t you retire?” Elena suggested.

X sighed again: “That’s right. But just—don’t want to work, you know?”

Understand, Elena understands, when she can’t get money for work, she doesn’t want to do it no matter how interesting it is.

But she felt that X was definitely not what she meant.

Hedgehog Hearing their conversation, he took a few steps to pick up the conversation: “Yes, I understand, you old man, if you can do it tomorrow, you won’t do it today. If you don’t burn your eyebrows, you will be lazy. Hey, our organization is still in the primary development stage. You are very important!”

X was not embarrassed at all, and saluted gracefully: “I won the prize.”

Hedgehog: “Shameless.”

Elena burst out laughing. She thought that after arriving at the Metropolis, joining the Gears of Death seems to be a good choice.

At least the leader of the organization is quite cute.

At night, in order to save energy, the team chose a sheltered trench to rest. Although it was a huge space, C-7 took out the cleaning tools from his body, swept out all the stones and shrubs in the trench, and made a “bed” for everyone with clods.

“Ah—” It sighed contentedly, slid aside with a crunch and went dormant.

Elena sat cautiously on the soil bed that belonged to her, and lay down comfortably on the soil bed on the left with her spiky head: “You’re welcome, you built it hard, if you don’t sleep, C-7 will be sad. “

“Yeah.” X rolled over on the earth bed to her right.

The spiky head broke off a lump of dirt and threw it over, and hit X’s head in the middle: “It’s not about you! Sir! Can you write down our organization’s Zhang Gang half an hour before going to bed? Draw an outline for the speech at the conference!”

X patted the broken soil on his hair and sat up listlessly: “Don’t you think it’s cruel to let me work after you all rested?”

Hedgehog closed his eyes and turned over: “The battery is three times larger than ours, and there is no problem working all night. Besides, it is you who dragged the work that should have been done before departure until now. Do you blame me?”

X was speechless, opened the personal terminal, opened the document on the light screen, and typed it line by line.

The personal terminal turned on the anti-peep mode, Elena could only see a string of characters scrolling down quickly, and her spiky head opened her eyelids: “As long as you start working, isn’t it fast…”

Elena was lying on the earth bed, the night on the plateau was cold and silent, and the starry sky was upside down on the world like a bowl inlaid with gems.

She greedily looked at this dreamy scene, and with the faint sound of X working, she stumbled into a dream.

It may be that there is too much information received in the hidden historical data of X today. She dreamed that she was in that data, cruise ships, schools, mental hospitals, snack bars… chaotic scenes passed by her eyes. In it, it was difficult to survive, and she met some teammates, some of whom stayed by her side, and some parted ways after seeing each other.

She shuttles between dangerous scenes and the daily routine of work, always wanting… always looking for someone named “Xiao Ai”.

When she woke up dazed by the sun, she was still thinking: Huh? Xiao Ai, isn’t she herself? Why is she looking for herself?

Hedgehog, Scarface, and C-7 were powered by the solar charging panels installed. X was like a dead puppet, lying motionless on the earthen bed, even when Hedgehog called him to get up.

“I worked overtime until three o’clock yesterday…” He murmured, “It takes three days of heavy sleep to make up for this kind of work intensity.”

Hedgehog sneered: “Come on, how much does it cost you to work overtime until three o’clock? If you have the time to talk, you can charge it.”

X continued to murmur: “What’s the hurry, you see, Elena hasn’t gotten up yet.”

Elena lay on her back, looked at the blue sky with the sun high, and said, “I had a dream.”

Several people were stunned.

Hedgehog said an old stalk: “…Dream of electric sheep?”*

She shook her head.

“I dreamed that I wanted to—find myself.”

Crowd: …?

The spiky head sat up straight and said earnestly: “Miss Elena, although we are awakened gear beings, it sounds very high, but you don’t need to do such a philosophical thing in order to prove your awakening.”

“I mean, I’ve been looking for Xiao Ai in my dreams.” Elena frowned: “But Xiao Ai is me, so isn’t this dream about finding myself?”

“Elena is the name Sand Chu gave me, and at first, my ‘name’ was a string of numbers. But can Elena or my ID represent a real me?”

Listening to Elena’s words, a circle circled on the light screen of C-7’s head: “It’s over, we have ushered in a philosopher.”

“Who am I, where did I come from, where am I going, what am I looking for—” Elena sat up, her eyes burning: “Is this what it feels like to wake up? My body is full of longing and desire to seek. Doubt of self-existence!”

X: “…Based on my experience, other people’s awakening does not have such a mysterious experience. However, this kind of thing varies from person to person, and there is no uniform standard.”

“Anyway, congratulations on your awakening.”

Elena shook her head: “No, I haven’t found the answer yet, I haven’t reached the real awakening!” She stood up against the wind, fighting spirit high: “Let’s go! Towards the future! Discover your true self and find the meaning of existence! “

The morning sun rose behind her, and it was brilliant!

X bypassed her and quietly poked the spiky head: “I think she is more suitable for writing the speech of the mobilization meeting than me. If we recruit her in, we will leave this task to her?”

Hedgehog slowly turned his head and glared angrily: “Sir, you worked overtime last night until three o’clock and you haven’t finished writing your speech?! Did you fish again?!”

X hugged his head and fled away.

The group continued to move in the direction of the metropolis. Today, they will cross the snow-capped mountains without stopping.

The higher the altitude, the more Elena felt that her short boots were not suitable for the icy and snowy terrain, and she frequently slipped and fell. However, the seemingly unprepared people pulled out equipment suitable for snow travel from the suitcase carried by the C-7.

Because they didn’t have snow boots that Elena could wear, they had to give her a trekking pole.

After a few falls, Elena gradually got used to the **** and friction of the snow-capped mountains, barely catching up with their progress with the help of trekking poles.

“Pfft!”

Adaptation is adaptation, the fall that should fall still has to fall. Elena climbed up in embarrassment with her head covered in snow, her arm being supported.

X fell a few steps and strode forward while supporting her step by step.

The wind and snow on the mountain were rushing, and Elena wanted to thank him, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her mouth was filled with snow.

X glanced at her, and with just one glance, Elena heard his voice ringing in her mind: “No thanks.”

After what happened yesterday, she had already guessed that X had the ability to connect with the android by sight line, and then it would be able to connect to a wireless local area network. She also tried to respond in her mind: “How convenient. Can I install this feature?”

X was silent for a moment, and seemed to check her configuration: “Yes. The latest hardware is in good condition. I will send you the installation package.”

A data channel was established between them, and an installation package of dozens of M was quickly passed over.

“Thank you.” Elena began to parse the installation package: “If you give me such a powerful function, are you not afraid that I am an undercover agent?”

X shrugged: “Although I’m lazy, I still have the ability to identify after working for so many years.”

“Besides, it’s just a wireless connection function. Even if I don’t give it to you, you can download and use it yourself when you connect to the optical network. Why not sell your favor.”

As soon as Elena stepped into the big snow crater, X nimbly lifted her body up as soon as she tilted her body.

“Thank you,” she said in her head.

“It’s okay, it’s boring to just walk anyway, and it won’t cost much electricity to watch you.”

Elena suddenly had a flash of inspiration: “Yes, walking alone is boring.”

X: ?

Elena: “Do you have any movies or TV shows there? It’s also a kind of learning to ingest the spiritual and cultural products of human beings.”

X did not speak for a long time.

Elena thought he was embarrassed by her overly familiar request, and felt a little lost in her heart. Just as she was about to talk about other topics, a dense list of film titles was sent to the transmission channel:

“Eastern, Western, newly released, high-scoring classics, love, suspense, horror, comedy, science fiction, war, ancient martial arts, literary films, documentaries, animation…”

“What do you want to see?”

Elena: … If you are not active at work, you have a lot of inventory for non-professional work? Also sorted into categories?
