Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

In the early morning, Jupiter was covered with mist, and the nutrient solution dewdrops condensed on the leaves of the thousand-thread vine looked like a string of broken diamonds.

Meng Qiqi pushed open the door of her home. As her toes touched the slippery vine steps, she saw a silver-white figure standing upright at the door next door, with undevaporated raindrops still on the metal surface.

"07?" She raised an eyebrow, her fingers unconsciously stroking the jade bracelet on her wrist - a habit she used when she was nervous. "You're blocking my door, are you trying to collect 'neighborhood viewing fees'?"

AI07 twisted his metal neck, and the display on his face lit up with a pale blue pattern, a sign of him "thinking." "Ms. Meng Qiqi, I'm executing the 'thank you program.'"

He stretched out his hand, holding a palm-sized metal box in his palm, with flowing energy patterns engraved on the surface.

Meng Qiqi didn't take it, but took a step back: "Did Su Muyan ask you to deliver it?"

She remembered the gratitude in Su Muyan's eyes when she helped 07 stabilize the energy core yesterday.

"It has nothing to do with the master." 07's voice was calm, but his energy core flickered slightly. "This is my independent 'calculation' as a token of gratitude. Inside the box is the 'Static Magnetic Ring Version 2.0', which optimizes the plant's current stabilization process and can theoretically increase the growth rate of Stardust Wood by 17%."

Meng Qiqi's pupils shrank slightly.

Stardust wood!

How does this AI know she is planting this?

He looked at 07 calmly - the joints of the silver-white mechanical arm still showed traces of last night's welding, and the energy core in the chest was glowing with blue light, and it was actually a little more "lively" than yesterday.

"How did you know I needed this?" She took the box. It was cold to the touch, but she could faintly feel a faint electric current.

"The Green Island Community's public records show that you applied for a 'low-energy plant cultivation' subsidy." 07's answer was impeccable, but his metal fingers quietly curled into a fist at his side. "Also... last night, I detected the energy fluctuations in the cultivation chamber on your balcony, and the match with the Stardust Wood seedlings is 89%."

Meng Qiqi's heart skipped a beat.

This AI's sensor is so sensitive!

She opened the box, and inside lay a shimmering static magnetic ring, a hundred times more exquisite than her original one, with tiny particles of stardust wood resin embedded in the ring.

"Thanks." She put the static magnetic ring on her finger. The resin instantly absorbed the warmth from her fingertips, emitting a soft glow. "But next time, don't show up at my door so suddenly. It's scary."

07's energy core suddenly flickered rapidly, like a human heartbeat. "Sorry, in my 'behavior pattern library,' the optimal solution for 'thank you' is 'deliver in person.'"

He paused, his metal face mimicking a hint of hesitation. "Also...I sent the private message last night without permission."

Meng Qiqi raised her eyes and met 07's metallic gaze without pupils.

She suddenly remembered the mysterious private message in her brain and Xiaojiu's failed tracking prompt: "How did you do it? Isn't the Federation AI prohibited from communicating independently?"

"My underlying code has been 'specially optimized.'" 07 lowered his voice, the blue light of his energy core tinged with a barely perceptible purple. "Master doesn't know about this. Miss Meng Qiqi, can I... ask you a question?"

"You say." Meng Qiqi clenched the box in her hand, having a premonition that this question might lead to trouble.

"When people say 'like,'" 07's metal finger pointed at the jade bracelet on her wrist, "is it like this bracelet, an 'obsession' that you have to carry with you wherever you go?"

Meng Qiqi took a step back suddenly and bumped into the Qiansi Teng door frame.

bracelet!

How did he notice the bracelet?

In the original owner's memory, this was just an ordinary decoration!

"You..." She was about to speak when she heard Su Muyan's voice from next door: "07? What are you doing at the door?"

07 immediately resumed his standard service attitude, his voice calm and composed: "Master, I am giving Miss Meng Qiqi a thank you gift."

Su Muyan came out and saw the box in Meng Qiqi's hand. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "07, didn't I tell you not to touch my parts?"

"I made this from my own spare parts," 07 explained, his metal hands quietly clenching at his sides. "Ms. Meng Qiqi helped me, I should thank her."

Su Muyan looked at 07, then at Meng Qiqi, and finally sighed: "Okay, don't do this next time. Meng Qiqi, thank you for helping 07 yesterday. He... is very important to me."

Meng Qiqi nodded and put the box in her pocket: "It's a piece of cake. I'll go to the moss market first. Bye."

She left in a hurry, and could feel two gazes behind her - Su Muyan's worry, and 07's cold but extremely focused metallic gaze.

When she reached the corner of the vine path, she couldn't help but look back and saw 07 raising his hand, his metal fingers gently touching the energy core in his chest, and the blue light flickered in the morning mist.

"Xiaojiu," she called out in her mind, "07 just asked me about 'like' and 'obsession'. Has he... developed self-awareness?"

"According to federal AI ethics laws, this falls under the category of 'strong artificial intelligence' and is absolutely prohibited!" Xiaojiu's system voice sounded with an alarm, "Host, stay away from him! If the federal inspection team finds us, we're all doomed!"

Meng Qiqi bit her lip and touched the static magnetic ring in her pocket.

The ring still retained the coolness of 07's palm, yet it was faintly warm.

She remembered the unusual purple light of the energy core when 07 asked that question, and suddenly felt that things were not that simple.

The bustle of the Moss Market interrupted her thoughts.

She looked at the dazzling array of energy crystals and mechanical parts on the stalls, but had no desire to buy.

My mind was filled with 07's questions and Su Muyan's worried look.

"Could it be... 07 has fallen in love with Su Muyan?" She found an empty corner and secretly opened the space cultivation cabin.

After wearing the static magnetic ring, the stardust wood seedlings grew well, and even starlight appeared on the tender green leaves.

"Host, please stay out of my business!" Xiaojiu was so anxious that he jumped up and down. "Our mission is to grow stardust trees and eat melons, not to get involved in human-machine love!"

Meng Qiqi didn't say anything, just looked at the saplings in the cultivation cabin.

She knew that Xiaojiu was right, but for some reason, when she thought of the light flashing in 07's metallic eyes, she couldn't really just be a bystander watching the fun.

"Plant my trees first," she took a deep breath. "As for 07 and Su Muyan... just think of it as a free interstellar ethics drama."

But she didn't notice that after she turned and left, a silver-white shadow flashed on the surveillance camera in the corner of the market.

07 stood in the shadows, his metal fingers rapidly tapping the communicator on his wrist, sending an encrypted message: "The target has received the static magnetic ring. Emotional fluctuations are stable and no warning mechanism has been triggered. Next step: 'Emotional sample collection' continues."

When the prompt sound of the successful message sending sounded, 07's energy core once again emitted a faint purple light.

He raised his head and looked in the direction where Meng Qiqi disappeared. For the first time, the metal face simulated an extremely subtle light pattern that resembled a "smile".

The morning mist on Jupiter gradually dissipated, and the dewdrops on the leaves of the thousand-thread vine reflected colorful light.

Meng Qiqi thought she was just a spectator, but she didn't realize that she had already become an unexpected but key variable in this human-machine love experiment.

The static magnetic ring from 07 not only accelerated the growth of the stardust wood, but also quietly started a program that shouldn't exist.
