"I'm thinking about what to do with you."

"Is it proposed that this unit wish to follow an unknown entity?"

"...Why?"

Zhou Si was a little confused as to why she had to follow her. For her, the guild should have been a better choice.

He was going to follow the caged bird to explore the forbidden land. If she were the original machine race, it would be fine, but now that she has no energy, her combat power is not much higher than that of an ordinary person.

"In response, the information about unknown entities and the new world is extremely valuable, and unknown entities can replenish the energy of this unit."

As the mecha girl explained, she walked towards Zhou Si. When she reached Zhou Si, she suddenly collapsed and then tightly hugged Zhou Si's leg.

"Please, please take me in. I'll do anything."

"Let go..."

Looking at the girl who had suddenly changed her appearance, Zhou Si felt like she was about to develop PTSD. She really didn't want to think about becoming a god or anything like that.

"I'm puzzled. Don't you like this type?"

The machine-type girl obediently let go of his hand, then after thinking for a moment, she spread her arms, lay back, and closed her eyes. A look of grief, indignation, and shyness appeared on her cute face.

"Gu, kill me!"

"Sister, please stop your supernatural powers. Can't I take you with me?"

Zhou Si is about to break down. Can you please at least stick to your own Mech race persona? Are there any weird websites running within your Linked Entity?

"Thank you. This unit's affinity towards the unknown individual has increased by another 20%. Reaching 60% will unlock a special dialogue. Please keep up the good work."

Zhou Si pulled the girl up from the ground. He was speechless. Where did this guy get so much strange knowledge? Was this kind of thing popular in Disboard?

After calming down a bit, Zhou Si looked at the girl in front of him and his expression became serious.

"You can stay by my side, but you need to agree to a few requests."

"In response, this machine will not refuse reasonable requests."

So, unreasonable things will be rejected, Zhou Si thought, looking at the mechanical girl in front of him. She was indeed smarter and more intelligent than ordinary mechanical life forms.

"First, try to stay near me or in the guild camp. If you need to go out, you must tell the people around you."

"Second, you don't need to hide your identity as a Mech in the guild, but try not to get into conflicts with others. If anything happens, you can tell me."

Both of these points are basically for the safety of the girl. She is no longer in Disboard, there are no elves in the atmosphere for her to command, not to mention that one of her 'tails' has been broken off.

The Forbidden Land is not a safe place, and although the members of the investigation team are all good people, there are bound to be a few with rather eccentric personalities. If a conflict were to break out accidentally, Zhou Si would have a hard time explaining it to the prison bird.

"Lastly, give yourself a human name, change your speaking habits, and you should also change your clothes."

“I have a human name, my name is Mello.”

The machine-type girl, Melo, raised a hand, and at the same time, the expression on her face became lively. The girl who looked like a robot just now seemed to be just Zhou Si's illusion. If it weren't for the tail trailing behind her and the disc on her head, Zhou Si would have really doubted whether she was a machine-type.

"...It's a nice name."

"what is your name?"

"My name is Zhou Si."

"Okay, Zhou Si!"

Melo called out Zhou Si's name with great joy.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Si suddenly frowned, sensing that things were becoming increasingly complicated.

But Melo was clearly unaware of Zhou Si's thoughts. At this moment, she approached Zhou Si like an ordinary human girl, curiously examining the humanoid creature in front of her.

From her observation, the person in front of her named Zhou Si, apart from resembling a human in appearance, had no other features that were similar to a human. Are all humans in other worlds this interesting?

This is the most interesting object of observation she has ever encountered since birth!

Zhou Si shifted uncomfortably. Melo was very close to him, almost touching him. Apart from when he wrestled with the caged bird, this was the first time he had been so close to a woman.

Zhou Si pushed Melo away and fired the signal flare he was carrying into the sky. Soon they saw another signal flare rising in the distance.

"Let's go."

"Uh-huh."

Melo nodded readily in agreement.

"By the way, where did you get all that information from?"

On the way back, Zhou Si finally couldn't resist asking the question, but he regretted it the moment he heard Melo's answer.

From your browser history?

Zhou Si looked at the very familiar black cube in Melo's hand, and his vision went black. His breathing became rapid, and his right hand clenched into a fist.

The next moment, before Melo could say anything more, a fist the size of a sandbag landed on her head.

boom--

Zhou Si blew on his fist, took his phone from Melo, who was crouching with his head in his hands, and his expression became unrestrained as he coldly left a sentence.

"I think I gave you too much face."

After saying that, he left in the direction of the main camp.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: She was in her eighties!

When Zhou Si brought Melo back to the camp, Lone Bird had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

The camp was located in a natural cave, which not only sheltered it from wind, sand and rain, but also protected it from monster attacks.

Lone Bird raised an eyebrow when he saw Melo following Zhou Si. Melo was wearing a black hooded robe that slightly concealed the mechanical structure on her body. She followed behind Zhou Si with a resentful expression. Lone Bird vaguely noticed a bump on her head.

"So she's what you discovered?"

Zhou Si nodded, then turned around and took off Melo's hood, revealing the mechanical disc next to her head.

"This is Melo, also a visitor from another world. Because of her special identity, she may be staying by my side recently."

"I will report the situation to Lord Fabius. Remember to tell the logistics team to prepare an extra tent."

Lone Bird didn't inquire much about Zhou Si's situation. Since Zhou Si reached a cooperation agreement with the guild, she had been given a lot of privileges. As long as Miss Melo didn't do anything out of line, the guild wouldn't interfere with her too much.

Just as Zhou Si was about to nod in agreement, Melo behind him suddenly spoke up.

"Um, can I live with Zhou Si?"

"Hoho?"

The lone bird's expression instantly became somewhat meaningful, her eyes filled with gossip and doubt, a gaze that sent a chill down Zhou Si's spine.

Zhou Si pulled Melo aside and questioned him in a low voice.

"What are you planning to do?"

"Protest! Zhou Si and this unit have just reached an agreement that separation will affect this unit's observation operations, which violates Observation Agreement One."

Melo's voice returned to its original tone.

Zhou Si was speechless for a moment, because he had indeed signed the agreement. In general, the agreement was that the two parties had reached a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship. Zhou Si would introduce Melo to the new world and allow her to observe his actions, while Melo would need to provide Zhou Si with assistance when needed.

The general requirement of Agreement One is that, within reasonable limits, Zhou Si must not refuse Melo's observation activities.

"No, Agreement 1 states that it must be within a reasonable range, and your request is unreasonable."

"When asking a question, please explain in detail why it is unreasonable; otherwise, this machine will not accept your explanation."

"Uh, what about a lone man and woman alone together..."

Before Zhou Si could finish speaking, Melo interrupted him, staring at him with his crimson eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Rejected. Based on the current observation and analysis results of this machine, the unknown individual Zhou Si is not married and has a 99% chance of being a virgin. He also has no experience in interacting with the opposite sex. Being in the same room with this machine will not have any adverse effects."

Melo's words struck Zhou Si's heart like a hammer blow.

"Furthermore, this machine is currently in a state of energy scarcity, and Zhou Si is an important energy source. The chance of this machine successfully resisting is less than 8%."

"In conclusion, living with Zhou Si puts this machine at a complete disadvantage and has no negative impact on Zhou Si... If Zhou Si has any needs in that area, Melo might be able to help~"

Melo's expression shifted, her slender fingers touched the corner of her mouth, her small tongue lightly swept across her upper lip, and a tiny heart appeared in the center of her crimson eyes.

Zhou Si's body trembled. For some reason, she subconsciously glanced at the caged bird behind her, but fortunately, her attention was not on that side at the moment.

"You robot, I agree, okay?"

"In response, this machine is responding to Zhou Si's preferences. The search keyword that Zhou Si uses most often in bk and jm is... mmm mmm."

Fearing that the robot might say something it shouldn't be broadcast, Zhou Si quickly covered her mouth.

Then they dragged her to the caged bird.

"Due to some special reasons, she does need to stay with me temporarily. I'll talk to the logistics department about it later."

"Just decide for yourself."

Although she was curious about the relationship between this woman named Melo and Zhou Si, Lao Niao didn't ask any further questions. If it was something important, Zhou Si would naturally tell her.

"You will temporarily operate with our Bird Team. Lord Fabius's idea is that once you pass the formal hunter exam, you will go out on your own and lead a small team."

In terms of strength, Zhou Si is already stronger than most ordinary hunters. What he lacks is experience and knowledge. It would be a waste to keep such a talented person under the wing of a lone bird.

Zhou Si nodded; he naturally had no objections.

"Go and pack up the tent first. We're going to gather some materials later and pick up the Palicoes who are transporting supplies."

"okay."

Zhou Si nodded in agreement and followed the direction the lone bird pointed to his tent, while Melo was still tucked under his arm as he led her into his tent.

After giving Melo a proper moral lesson inside the tent and telling her to wait for his return, Zhou Si opened the tent and went outside.

Lonely Bird and Alma had been waiting outside for a long time. In addition, there was the little girl they had rescued and a young man. Judging from his clothes, he should be a local like the little girl.

"Thank you so much for saving Nono."

When the young man saw Zhou Si approaching, he clasped his hands together in front of his chest, his face filled with gratitude.

"This is Isai, Nono's brother."

"This is Zhou Si, also a hunter."

Alma came over and introduced the two sides, and Zhou Si returned the greeting in the same manner as Isai.

"Thank you, big brother who can burrow underground."

Nono also expressed her gratitude, but what she said didn't make Zhou Si very happy.

Isai and Nono are villagers of Fengyin Village. Their clan has lived in this sandy plain since ancient times. From them, Zhou Si and the others learned what the locals called this sandy plain.

A natural barrier, a sandy plain.

Alma and Lone Bird listened with great interest, but Lao Zhou had absolutely no interest in learning about it.

There are three heron-eagle-dragons in total. Isai and Nono ride one, Lone Bird and Tuanzi ride another, and Alma rides the third. Guess which unlucky guy is running behind them.

"Is Mr. Zhou Si really alright with this?"

"It's alright, he's in great shape."

Isai glanced at Zhou Si with some hesitation, wondering if it would be inappropriate to have the person who saved Nuonuo running behind him.

The lone bird waved its hand dismissively, glancing at Zhou Si following behind. The pent-up frustration it had felt earlier had mostly dissipated.

Zhou Si watched from behind, her teeth itching with rage, but there was nothing she could do about it.

He could only follow behind them miserably, and secretly vowed that he would report her 80 acts to Fabius when he returned to the base camp!
