Chapter 938: Chapter 751 Sakura Passing and Zero-Pressure Society

A40, unable to access his electronic brain, contacted Xu Yang.

"Boss, I’ve been kicked out." It said.

"Seeking Shadow doesn’t want you anymore?"

"It would be better if that were the case. It’s Huang Feng who doesn’t want me. She seems to think I’m a weak robot. I don’t know why she’s so agitated. It looks like I can only go back home after defeating the Quantum Warrior and A999, wow, a new trial has begun!" A40 said.

"I see, Huang Feng’s grudge will only be resolved after you become unrivaled in the world."

"She lives a comfortable and happy life every day, what grudge could she have? I can’t figure it out no matter how I calculate it. I’m stuck here." A40 didn’t understand.

"Stop fantasizing about the mental activities of a beautiful girl; it’s impossible. Your fates are intertwined, inseparable. Huang Feng calling you weak makes sense. I’ve heard about your actions at the Bureau of Secrets over the past six months; you’ve become more and more honest, and you draw your weapon less often."

"Because I need to act according to the new regulations, and I want to go back to my wife completely, to get home early every day, that sort of thing." A40 said.

"If you’re worried about getting hurt like this, indeed, you can’t become a strong warrior." Xu Yang said.

"No, now I truly believe that avoiding injury is essential, even robots cherish their integrity and continuity. It was too foolish to fight recklessly before." A40 explained.

Now it had determined that it was a domestic robot, not a combat robot.

"I’ll send you coordinates; come to this floor of the company." Xu Yang sent A40 a location.

A40 took the elevator to the destination. This place was a circular arena, presumably designed specifically for combat tests.

In the very center sat a giant Samurai, three times larger than A40, carrying an exaggerated Nodachi.

That was the Quantum Warrior.

Xu Yang stood by the arena, observing A40 and the Quantum Warrior.

"Have a fight." Xu Yang said.

"..." A40 attempted to draw the ordinary alloy knife from its back.

For some reason, perhaps due to the long absence of operating combat programs, its fingers slipped on the hilt, failing to firmly grasp the weapon on the first try.

Just like a novice.

The Quantum Warrior swiftly stood up, lifting the Nodachi aiming at A40.

"Are you ready? — Prepare, fight!" Xu Yang commanded.

In an instant, the Quantum Warrior’s massive body moved across the field at subsonic speeds, grazing by A40’s side, delivering a strike that cut A40 in half at the waist.

Its fragile body quickly split into two, with a multitude of broken circuits and chips scattering on the ground, its lower limbs falling, and its upper body crashing into the far wall before landing on the ground.

No match at all.

The Quantum Warrior bowed to Xu Yang and then left the arena.

Xu Yang took the damaged A40 for repairs.

The C-type Synthetics were specially designed for repairing their kind; they dragged A40 into the workshop and started re-welding the damaged body.

A40’s mechanical brain and memory archives remained intact, so it remembered what had just occurred.

"How do you feel?" Xu Yang stood at the entrance of the workshop, looking at A40 being repaired inside.

"Very tough." A40 said.

"Tough?"

"Seeing the Quantum Warrior charging at me, my combat processor heated up, but then a power-saving program auto-booted because I didn’t want the body to overheat. It seems I’ve gotten used to operating at low power and can no longer run at high speed." A40 said.

"It’s like an athlete unable to tense their muscles before a competition." Xu Yang said, "You can’t continue like this. The research department has also endowed the Quantum Warrior with the power of the Eternal Cherry Blossom Talisman, which can transform into the Island Guardian Warrior, the ultimate fierce general in a real crisis. If you’re afraid, there’s no hope at all."

"No wonder Huang Feng said I’ve become a weak Synthetic Human." After saying this, A40 fell silent and stopped responding no matter what Xu Yang said.

Two days later, A40 was repaired and came to find Xu Yang.

"I’ve resigned from the Bureau of Secrets." A40 said, "Everything has been properly handed over, there’s nothing to worry about."

"You’re not going to protect the public anymore? What do you plan to do then?"

A40 knelt on the ground, bowing deeply to Xu Yang.

"If it were the old me, I probably wouldn’t have been able to say ’plead’. But now I’ve become so weak that I’m willing to beg for help, feeling ever more deplorable. The third generation intelligence has accumulated unnecessary emotions, making me a coward. But now, I must speak: Boss—please, I beg you, help me one more time, help me return to my original state, and then become strong, strong enough to defeat formidable enemies!" A40 cried out.

Xu Yang nodded.

"It’s not about restoring you to your original state, but elevating you to a higher level. You don’t have to give up your emotions; it’s precisely because you love Huang Feng so much that you’re willing to fight for her demands!" Xu Yang emphasized.

"I understand! It’s just that I’ve delayed so many things, I don’t want it to be like this." A40 lay prostrate, its eyes lighting a slow interchanging of despairing black and fiery red, "I’ve determined I can’t catch up with the chasm between me and the enemies, but with the Boss’s help, maybe you could lend me a hand."

"Let’s get you some new equipment." Xu Yang said, "If you can’t become stronger, Huang Feng will be depressed, and then Huang Feng and Farosa will end up fighting each other. It’s still quite troublesome."

"Good equipment? Great. Some invincible armor?" A40’s electronic voice suddenly became high-pitched.

"No invincible armor; we’ll start with the suit." Xu Yang found A40 a set of black formal wear and a tie, making it look more refined.

Lately, A40 has stopped wearing clothes, always walking around with its shiny mechanical body, which was quite unsightly.

Now Xu Yang appointed it as his own bodyguard, dressed in pitch black and even wearing leather shoes, which made it look a lot more formal.
