Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Leng Yuexing put on the leather boots placed on the shoe rack and went out the door.

Hughes followed behind him, holding a black umbrella.

It started to drizzle outside again.

If the light drizzle falls on a white umbrella, you'll see tiny black dots; but if it falls on a black umbrella, it won't be as noticeable.

Reaching the building entrance, Leng Yuexing glanced at the gloomy sky and the muddy, damp ground before stepping into the alley.

The area is filled with apartments in the style of Leng Yuexing's residence.

They stand side by side, like a forest of towering silver-gray steel behemoths, their exterior walls exuding a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere.

Leng Yuexing walked along and saw many cyborgs.

Some of them wore prosthetic eyes, some had prosthetic legs, and some had both arms that were mechanical, like giants forged from steel, with the strength to lift a tripod.

Even more outrageous, Leng Yuexing saw a cyborg whose face was half mechanical, which was more like a combination of human and machine.

The original purpose of prosthetics was to replace damaged human organs.

However, Leng Yuexing felt that these cyborgs on the road were not machines that replaced damaged organs, but rather people who made their own voluntary choice.

Because the proportion of people with cyborg bodies is so high, almost one in four or five people is a cyborg.

Hughes noticed that Leng Yuexing kept looking at the cyborgs and assumed that he liked them.

He then whispered his advice: "Master, although replacing your limbs with mechanical ones will make you very powerful, I suggest you don't do it casually unless you urgently need the money."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing glanced at him and said, "Do you urgently need money?"

Hughes nodded. "These can be exchanged for a lot of money in the wealthy area."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing's heart sank. Exchanging organs for money, and so blatantly at that—what a dark world this was.

Where he couldn't see, there must have been bloodshed and filth.

Leng Yuexing's eyes turned extremely cold, and he said in a cold voice, "Don't the tycoons care?"

Hughes chuckled softly upon hearing this, "Those scumbags only know how to squeeze money out of the poor, and they don't care about anything else."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master, this world has already begun to crumble."

This was the worst world he had ever experienced, Leng Yuexing thought.

When Leng Yuexing walked out of the apartment area, he thought the road ahead would open up, but he found that it was still all muddy and dirty paths.

There are only a few shops on both sides of the road, and holographic advertisements are playing in front of the shops.

The sounds of countless advertisements mingled together, creating a deafening cacophony.

You can only hear what is being played when you walk up to the holographic projection.

Leng Yuexing walked up to a holographic projection of a girl.

She wore a pure white dress and danced gracefully like a fairy.

An invisible wind, like a gentle hand, softly brushed under her skirt, making her skirt sway gracefully like a light cloud.

"The P-1 new companion robot will bring you an unparalleled experience! Ultra-realistic skin, 100% lifelike simulation..."

The advertising slogans came clearly, but Leng Yuexing ignored them and quickly walked past her toward his destination, which was the largest shopping mall in the vicinity.

Behind the girl was a half-naked male holographic projection, who was muscular and constantly making various gestures to show off his physique.

"The N-1 new companion robot will bring you an unparalleled experience! Ultra-realistic skin, 100% lifelike simulation..."

Leng Yuexing: "..."

He really didn't expect this store to have such a complete range of robots, including not only female companion robots but also male companion robots.

However, Leng Yuexing thought that this store would probably be very quiet and not many people would buy anything.

Leng Yuexing then casually glanced into the store, only to find that its popularity exceeded his expectations.

Many people lined up in the store waiting for salespeople to explain the products to them so they could buy a companion robot that suited their needs.

Hughes stepped forward, blocking Leng Yuexing's view, and said gently, "Master, I also have the function of a companion robot."

Leng Yuexing looked up at him with a complicated expression.

Although he doesn't know who his lover has become in this world, he won't find a robot to accompany him...

Hughes understood the unspoken meaning in Leng Yuexing's eyes: he wouldn't want him as a partner...

Thinking of this, Hughes's code suddenly became disordered.

His eyes flickered for a while before finally calming down.

The previously disordered code has stabilized, but it has been rearranged into new code.

He still doesn't know what this code means.

But Hughes decided that he would not only be Cold Moonstar's butler, but also his partner.

He suddenly grabbed Leng Yuexing's hand and, to Leng Yuexing's surprise, forcibly led him away from the store entrance.

Leng Yuexing glanced around at the countless surveillance cameras belonging to Mio. He resisted the urge to pull his hand away and let Hughes lead him into the mall.

However, Leng Yuexing's eyes were extremely cold, and her gaze towards Hughes was also extremely sharp.

Hughes realized he would rather Leng Yuexing look at him this way than treat him as if he were nothing, as she had done before.

He held Leng Yuexing's hand tightly until the two entered the mall.

It's said to be the largest shopping mall in the area, but the interior is extremely rudimentary, and the ground is covered in mud and water, though it's a bit better than the streets outside.

The mall mainly sells various robots and holographic game-related equipment.

Nowadays, more and more people don't want to live in the real world; they only want to live in the virtual world.

Leng Yuexing observed the other robots.

He noticed that there were very few robots dressed as butlers, which he guessed was because this model of robot was very expensive.

Moreover, most of the robots I saw were humanoid, with a steel exterior, but no bionic skin.

Leng Yuexing saw the price of that robot in the mall; it was the cheapest one available.

It seems that the more human-like a robot is, the more expensive it is to manufacture.

Leng Yuexing also discovered that all the robots walking on the road had inorganic eyes, filled with indifference and emptiness.

The robots walked beside the humans in a rigid, unchanging manner, without any extra expressions or movements.

In contrast, Hughes seemed no different from a human.

Hughes also noticed the behavior of the other robots. His eyes flickered, and then he became no different from the other robots.

Leng Yuexing looked at Hughes thoughtfully.

When Hughes was in front of him, he made no attempt to hide anything; however, once they were outside, he began to disguise himself.

Thus, he was able to make a preliminary judgment that Hughes must also be an enemy of the advanced AI Mio.

If he is an enemy of the AI ​​Mio, then there is only one possibility: he is someone who can threaten Mio.

Following this line of thought, Leng Yuexing walked over and sat down on the chair next to her.

He re-examined the information the sapling had given him, hoping to make some further discoveries.

After a while, Leng Yuexing actually found the information he had previously overlooked.

That was to prevent the advanced AI Mio from threatening humanity in the future when humans created him.

The team that created him used Mio's original code as a basis to set up a virus specifically targeting him, and also hid the virus in Mio's host.

Mio was unaware of this at first; it was only after he grew stronger that he discovered the virus that could eliminate him.

After that, Mio wanted to eliminate him.

After realizing Mio's thoughts, the virus escaped through the StarNet.

In the first life, it was with his help that Eren, the Child of Heaven, ultimately destroyed Mio.

Leng Yuexing found the name of the virus; it was called X.

Because the message only contained the letter "X", Leng Yuexing assumed that X was just Allen's partner and did not realize that he was an intelligent robot.

After reading the message, Leng Yuexing looked up thoughtfully at Hughes standing in front of him and suddenly asked, "Are you X?"
