Days and nights of pursuit of Dottore

After running all the way out of the Teaching Court, Cheng Yan returned to the relatively familiar Xumi wilderness. There was no one around him, only lush green plants. Cheng Yan confidently took out a soft sofa from the bracelet on his hand.

Lying on it with his limbs spread out, Cheng Yan felt like he was alive again.

"Sister Ganyu moved the furniture to me ahead of time so that I can take it away. It was really wise."

It's much more comfortable lying here than lying in a tree.

[Host, did you really promise to make that robot for him? That's not an ordinary thing.]

Cheng Yan sank into the sofa, looked up and said, "Go ahead, I've agreed, and I haven't tried being a robot before."

The most labor-intensive project he had done was reshaping the body for his dog Poseidon. It took him a whole night to put the huge body together, but unfortunately Poseidon himself was not satisfied, as he thought the body had grown too big and made it difficult to get close to.

I wonder if Poseidon has been spending time with Master...

[Host, what I mean is that the purpose of the target Zandik designing this machine is not pure. If you follow his instructions, the purpose of this machine may not be under your control.]

"What I make must be done by me. Unless Zanzan and I are of the same mind, like a master, he can control what I make, but he has to like me very much."

But from the current perspective, let alone liking him very much, let’s just let Zanzan stop hating him first, his favorability rating is still negative.

[…Just be aware of this. This target is not a good person. He could do anything.]

Cheng Yan opened his eyes and did not respond to the system's words. He did not want to make a random definition of whether someone was innocent or not.

Zazan had murderous intentions towards him, although he didn't know where this murderous intention came from, but there must be a reason. He would not let Zazan succeed, and he had to protect his own life. But he couldn't stay too far away from Zazan, otherwise he would not be able to complete the mission in Xumi, and he would be separated from his master for such a long time in vain.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yan pulled himself out of the soft sofa, opened and closed his fingers, and Zhuo Feng appeared. Holding the golden long sword on his shoulder, Cheng Yan raised his foot and walked into the woods.

The appearance of the robot on the blueprint in his mind gradually became clearer. Cheng Yan made up his mind to make a robot that would shock the world and make Zanzan look at him with new eyes!

He chose the hardest and most suitable wood, combined with the precious metal given to him by Master Xueyue Zhuyang before he left Liyue, and then cut, grind and assemble it.

In addition to reading, Cheng Yan would be extremely dedicated when doing something seriously. He not only wanted to simply make the robot, he wanted to use the most detailed and complex mechanical techniques he could imagine on this robot.

The sun sets in the west, the temperature gradually cools down, and the chirping of insects can be heard in the ears. Cheng Yan has placed several lighting stones bought from the system store around him, making the surroundings as bright as day.

[Host, why don’t you take a rest?]

Cheng Yan didn't hear the voice of the system in his mind at all. He blinked his dry eyes and continued to work with the cutting knife.

[……] The system did not speak again. It looked at Cheng Yan’s serious expression and accompanied him through the somewhat cold late night.

After a long time, until the sun had risen again in the east, Cheng Yan stretched his stiff shoulders and put down the knife in his hand. His arms were shaking from keeping the same posture for too long.

"Hiss... I'm so tired, I'm finally done."

The robot on the table was about as tall as two palms. Cheng Yan's somewhat tired voice fell, and the little robot began to move tremblingly.

He pressed his wooden arms on the table and struggled to prop up his small body. He finally stood up, his two short legs swaying back and forth, as if he was not quite used to it.

Cheng Yan looked at the cute little robot and felt that all the hard work of the whole night was worth it.

"We need to give you a name. What do you want to be called? How about Xiaojiu?"

She stretched out her finger and gently touched the little robot's head. Then she held the robot and rubbed its fingers against it, acting like a spoiled child. Cheng Yan's heart melted at the cute look.

Holding the robot in his hands, Cheng Yan rubbed his cheek against it, "Xiaojiu, why are you so cute?"

It turns out that robots can be so cute. Why didn’t he think of making a robot before?

"Fortunately, Poseidon is with Master, otherwise he would definitely fight with Xiaojiu."

The little robot seemed to understand Cheng Yan's words and waved its thin arms, as if to say that it was not afraid.

Cheng Yan curved his eyes and put Xiaojiu back on the table.

This tiny robot is much heavier than it looks, and my arms get sore from holding it for so long.

However, in order to take into account both combat effectiveness and miniature appearance, it doesn’t matter if he makes Xiaojiu a little more solid.

Cheng Yan wanted to test the results of his hard work all night.

"Xiaojiu, transform."

The little robot blinked its empty eyes, then raised an arm following Cheng Yan's words.

“Click—click—”

The wooden joints touched each other, making a creaking sound. Xiaojiu on the table suddenly grew larger, and the structures of various parts of its body stretched out. It transformed from a solid little robot into a huge robot, exactly the same as the one drawn on Zandik's drawing.

The systems that were observing secretly couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

I know that the host is gifted in mechanical engineering, but the robot in front of me is flawless from every angle. It is such an exquisite design. Just looking at its small size, you would never have thought that it could become what it is now. It looks a bit like a humanoid weapon.

Cheng Yan had never thought about system thinking. Xiaojiu was so big and so powerful, he must have lethality, but who said that lethality must be used for bad things, such as humanoid weapons? His Xiaojiu was a helpful and kind robot.

After the transformation, Xiaojiu can even pick up Cheng Yan with one hand. Cheng Yan lifts his feet off the ground and touches the big wooden mechanical head next to him.

"Xiaojiu, you have to be a good robot and not hurt anyone at will, except for bad guys, of course."

Cheng Yan was still talking, and Xiao Jiu actually looked like he understood, nodding his head seriously. Cheng Yan touched him as if he was rewarding him.

The sun had risen completely and the jungle became lively. Cheng Yan had just cleaned up the sawdust and broken wood on the ground when he suddenly felt a slight sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Xiaojiu has returned to its mini size and was following Cheng Yan closely. When he noticed that his master suddenly stopped, he tilted his little head and looked up.

"System, have I forgotten something?"

【…】

[…It seems to be a very important matter] It is related to the host's strategy mission.

"I'm going to take the Myoron School entrance exam today!"

[You are going to take the Myoron School entrance exam! ]

Everyone shouted out loudly at the same time.

Cheng Yan hurriedly picked up Xiao Jiu and ran towards the Teaching Academy, "It's over, system, do you know where to go for the exam? I seem to have forgotten to ask!"

The system held its forehead with its hands, he didn't know either.

[Go to the Teaching House first! Catch the people there and ask them, host, you have to be quick! ]

"It's almost there! Chop off the peak!"

A golden long sword appeared, and Cheng Yan stepped on it fiercely, "Zhuo Feng, quickly! I'm too late!"

The long knife cut through the air and flew out in the blink of an eye, carrying the person on the knife with it, so fast that there was no trace of the afterimage.

The Church of the Immaculate Conception at this time.

Zandik looked at an empty seat below that no one had used for a long time, and stared at the name tag with "Cheng Yan" written on it, his eyes sank.

It's really not reliable at all. I was really bewitched yesterday and asked him to help me test the feasibility of the robot in advance. As a result, I was late for the exam today.
