I, Rukatiye, will also rise to prominence! Brother Azra! Wait until I find you! You must live well!
Rukatiye suppressed the joy in her heart and teleported from the campfire to Rumi. She needed some time to transform these souls into her own power.
A few days later.
Sun Yang watched Rukatiye exercising beside the honey-rich well as if no one was around.
She changed into a loose, plain training suit and was trying hard to do squats while carrying a stone.
Sun Yang originally wanted to help Rukatiye and others advance the progress of the Black Mist Tower. After all, if two people pushed it together, they would get more souls.
However, things were not as good as Sun Yang had imagined. Their progress was not very fast, and to be more precise, it was currently stagnant.
On the one hand, the intensity of the battles around the Black Mist Tower was somewhat too high, and Rukatiye believed that more efficient combat methods were needed. Sun Yang agreed with this view. Last time, he had let Rukatiye take the risk for him, letting her experience all the unknown risks.
253 The scene of catching an adulterer (fog)
Although he felt like he'd let her down a bit, Rukatiye never complained to Sun Yang about the danger. After all, they were forcing their way through the Black Mist Tower; it would be surprising if there weren't enough risks. Getting someone willing to follow along was already quite a feat.
Most travelers in this world travel alone, and companionship is rare. Due to the distortions and distortions of time and space, a brief companionship is extremely valuable. And a long-term companionship is even rarer.
On the other hand, Rukatiye told Sun Yang that after obtaining a huge amount of souls, she needed to take time to exercise and then use the souls to strengthen her body.
"It's going to take a long time?" Sun Yang felt a little strange. Was he the only one who was strange? Normally, there wouldn't be a panel where you could add points. And then, after adding enough points, you could wield a weapon.
"It will take... a few days! Huh! This time, there are a lot of souls! Huh!" Rukatiye carried a stone that looked to weigh hundreds of pounds in each hand. While breathing steadily, she did squats around the Rumi Pit.
Sun Yang hurried over to ask the Green Robe Sister. He had been curious about this for a long time: "Green Robe Sister, do all of us look like this before we spend our souls?"
"If you want to strengthen yourself with your soul, you must put your body to the test." The girl in green robe spoke in an elegant manner as always.
"Brother Dispirited, Brother Sodan. Is it common for Lukatiye to practice like this?" Sun Yang felt that the green-robed girl's words were too mysterious, so he turned to Brother Dispirited who could speak normally.
"Discouraged...ah, forget it, you can call me whatever you want. Normally it's not necessary. The body that grows after the battle will gradually be ready to accept the soul. But if the soul it carries is too large, it is indeed necessary to do so. You have been here for such a long time, why are you so lacking in common sense?" Brother Dixin said to Sun Yang.
"Magicians will study or cast spells, and priests will pray devoutly. Only in this way can the soul full of life force be better integrated into the body. Don't you feel anything when you use your soul to strengthen your body?" asked Brother Dispirited.
"Well... my body has become stronger." Sun Yang said intuitively.
"Yeah. What you do will only make your body stronger. Read more books to open your mind. You should have discovered these things a long time ago." After complaining, Brother Desperate sat back.
Sun Yang shrugged. Before Rukatiye returned, Sun Yang had already sought out the green-robed girl to level him up. After defeating a large number of guards and splitting his soul with Rukatiye, Sun Yang also gained a large number of souls to strengthen himself.
Sun Yang used these souls to strengthen his vitality and willpower. His stamina, strength, agility, and adaptability didn't seem to be particularly needed yet. He would improve them when the time was right.
Vitality 36 Energy 28 Stamina 20 Willpower 38 Strength 16 Agility 12 Adaptability 18 Intelligence 20 Faith 50
That's about it. Sun Yang felt that Rukatiye's energy and vitality were much stronger than his own, at least in terms of his control over his body.
After all, he really relied on eating a lot of souls, and he was a person with only a reliable panel, unlike Rukatiye, whose body was trained in hardships and actual combat.
"I can't force her to follow my pace. Forget it, I'm not very busy here..." While Sun Yang was increasing his efforts and exercising in Rukatiya, he contacted the team doing serious work on the radiation side.
Beep, beep... The inter-world communication was quickly connected. M4, with a cold expression, stared intently at Sun Yang through the video feed. Sun Yang felt that she seemed to be in a bad mood, or perhaps even wanted to eat him.
"Hey~ M4~ How's the progress~? Is the talk with the Brotherhood of Steel going well?" Sun Yang looked at Rukatiye who was working hard on his training outside, and asked M4 with a cheerful face.
For some reason, Sun Yang felt something was wrong.
"We're fine. The courier will handle the negotiations after we arrive. We've already informed her of our needs, and she's already acquainted herself with members of the Eastern Brotherhood of Steel. Don't worry, Commander." M4 pursed her lips, her eyes fixed on Sun Yang.
"That's good. It's best if things go smoothly. Do you need any assistance? If so, just let me know." Sun Yang smiled with relief.
"What I need most is your presence. I miss you. The war isn't that intense, but we spend most of our time talking to each other through a screen. Doesn't that make sense?" M4 said dejectedly.
"Ah...it's true that I don't get to spend much time with you. But I think it wouldn't be good for you to keep you around all the time."
Sun Yang didn't know how to respond. He could have the AR team run around with him, or even just have a party every day. But that would be unfair to the other humanoids, and it wouldn't be fair to the AR team either. They weren't caged birds.
"But I still miss your warmth, Yang. I, 15, and SOP2 all miss it. I miss your scent, a message generated solely by memories, without the traces of time." M4 stared at Sun Yang.
"Ahem, this is the first time you called me by my name." Sun Yang coughed twice. Although he knew that M4's personality was a bit strange and a bit possessive, but this...
"Because there's a woman who's calling you by your name, not just some random title. I'm... jealous and uneasy about this." M4 said, her eyes wandering, as if she was hesitant about what she was about to say.
"You mean Rukatiye? She is just an undead. I think she is a qualified warrior who can help me. So I am training her. There is no other relationship. I am not a casual person, and she is not a casual person either." Sun Yang said.
"I don't trust that human. Can she control her emotions? She was alone in an unfamiliar environment, on the verge of death. But someone kind enough to help her reached out, not only saving her life but also providing all kinds of follow-up assistance? Yang, what do you think she'd feel? You've been... so kind to her." M4 exuded jealousy.
"I'll still need her to work for me in the future, okay? That's a job that will cost her her life. How can I not clean it up properly? Even a dog needs food. Why do you always think about the physical relationship? It's not worth it for me." Sun Yang defended himself.
"That's what I'm worried about. She's not some immortal being to me... She's a human being. A human being who can bear you children, marry you, and start a family." M4's expression was dejected. "I want to be by your side, traveling with you, seeing new sights, sharing insights and expressing my feelings with you. Not some random human being who just popped out of nowhere."
M4's deep emotions spilled out of her mouth.
"I need to gather my fighting forces. Rukatiye needs me to lead the activities. No matter how many opinions I have, I still have to live with you and the humanoids in the end. And what's the point of having children? Can we not fast-forward to a few decades later? I'm not ready to have children, it's too troublesome." Sun Yang argued.
"Well, that's true... Sorry, Yang. Perhaps you've been too indulgent with us before. I've become a little greedy. I always thought you'd agree to my unreasonable demands... I just wanted to monopolize your side, that's all."
M4 spoke vaguely, shook her head, and showed a somewhat sad smile.
"You look a little lonely?" Sun Yang said boldly.
"I always feel lonely when you're not around. Luckily, everyone in the AR team is here with me, including my family. But without you, home isn't complete. Yang, my dear, the family is waiting for you to reunite." M4 smiled slightly.
"I think it will take a while to do it..." Sun Yang was sweating a little.
"I know. I just have some complaints. Even humanoids have their troubles. We're not indifferent. Yang. Is it okay to call you that? Gouzi and Pascal want to call you that, too." M4 continued to smile.
"Sure. Call me whatever you want." Sun Yang nodded quickly.
"That's great, Yang. Anyway, we're still communicating. Once Postman No. 4 finishes his work, we'll set off. Don't worry, Yang, we'll complete the task with flying colors." M maintained her smile.
254 Humanoid Theater (Part )
"Is there really nothing wrong? We can discuss many things." Sun Yang asked doubtfully.
"I, I can't. I'm... jealous of that woman. Her place should belong to me... That's what I want to say, but if I say this, you'll be in a dilemma, right? You don't want to embarrass us, but you also don't want to give up the powerful undead force. I understand that. Your intentions are good, and we've seen everything you do..."
"I don't want to see your sad face, at least not because of my pretentiousness or willfulness. Unlimited tolerance or unbridled will ruin everything. So I'll just accept it silently... I just don't know how long I'll accept it. M4, report completed." M4 sighed.
"I will keep my distance as much as possible. Well, your worries are unfounded. I won't take action against Rukatiye, and to be honest, I don't think she will do anything. Rukatiye is a very traditional and...stubborn knight. Just like the knights in many novels." Sun Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"I hope so. I've always been loyal to you, Yang. Can I expect loyalty in return? I'll wait for you, Yang. I'll wait for the moment you let me return to you." M4 said, then hung up.
"M4... why does it feel like her mentality is getting more and more extreme..." Sun Yang scratched his head. Loyalty and all that... does backstroke count as loyalty in a humanoid? He couldn't quite grasp M4's thinking.
But if you put yourself in his shoes, M4 would probably be anxious and angry if he were to act out and live in the same place with other men. He would probably curse at them and even want to tear the man apart with his bare hands.
Well, from this point of view, M4 is quite well-mannered. He didn't jump out and tear Rukatiye apart.
Sun Yang sent a message asking the rest of the AR team and the Disobedient team to help look after M4. It was difficult for him to escape, and the Radiation team also needed the activeness of the AR team, so neither of them could be abandoned.
***
[What did I say?!?!] M4 collapsed to the floor in the cabin, twisting in a dark manner.
The other AR team members looked at M4 as if he was an idiot. AR15 lifted his shirt, spread his stomach, and replaced the power core with a new fusion cell.
"Isn't that great? Doesn't it perfectly portray the image of a dank and longing person? I don't think Yang will dislike it. He'll consider the relationship carefully." AR15 said with an indifferent attitude.
[But my image... my image...] M4 lay on the cabin floor, with no image at all.
"You still have your dignity? Do you dare to say what you normally say on the channel? You act like you're owed money, but inside you're like a victim. I really don't want to say anything more." AR15 complained.
[I usually? Hmm... "We miss the Commander's body very much. Commander, please take off your clothes and let me admire your body. I want to spy on you. Yang."] M4 said very bluntly.
"Is this all you have on your mind, M4? Talk about something else. Look at you, you look like a human woman with a mental problem. Where's the calmness a humanoid should have?" AR15 cursed beside him.
"And I want the Commander's heart, too. Commander, please give me a heart? I'll happily smash at least five hundred of them." Then I'll hold up five hundred heads and ask Yang to pet them. Yang will boast, "Well done, M4. Well done! For me, for our future! Go fight!" That's about it. M4 thought for a moment and added a long paragraph.
"Don't take advantage of this private channel and talk nonsense! M4, M4, how could you be so addicted? Has the simulated organ fried your mind? My dog and I don't think there's anything wrong... Only you keep harping on about this every hour. Are you going to tell Ayang? What are your usual fantasies?" AR15 was helpless on the other side.
Because I like my commander, and because I like him, I love him. Because I love him, I am filled with desire. I think this is fine. M4 looked at the floor. Just a few minutes ago, she had been looking at Sun Yang across from her, seemingly with longing.
I said to Yang: "I love you, Yang, I love you. But I can't stop worrying. I'm jealous, Yang, I'm jealous of the woman next to you. Her name is Rukatiye, right? What about the others? M14? Pascal? Are they humanoid? Why is a human woman next to you?"
M4 lay on the ground and turned over in the cabin.
There was nothing unusual in her eyes, and there was no special inflection in her tone - after all, she was a robot, and she could be controlled if she wanted to.
But this calm and unwavering tone made Sun Yang feel a little threatened.
Then Yang would say, "Ahem. Something doesn't feel right. We were all fine in the Fallout world before. Is there something I didn't do right?" Yang never expected that I would get upset just because he hadn't contacted me for a few days.
"How can I not make a scene? That human is beautiful and good at fighting! And has a good personality! He's as obedient as a dog!" M4 slapped the cabin floor twice in frustration.
"Rukatiye? How does that guy look like a dog? I think he's quite well-behaved, diligently training, and very methodical. Isn't he much more diligent than Ayang? You, try to stop him." AR15 said.
"I just like Yang's lazy and relaxed look," M4 said.
[You are a beauty in the eyes of the beholder.] AR15 retorted.
[Soon, my lover will be that female human!] M4 hammered the cabin again.
"Stop hammering! If you keep hammering, you'll have to walk to the Federation!" The humanoid figure sitting at the front of the helicopter, formerly a member of the heavy armored team and now a pilot, shouted. This made M4 restrain himself.
"After knowing that Ayang was living with Ms. Rukatiye, he became like this?" AR15 sighed. "Although I am also quite worried. But I believe Ayang is not that kind of person. What do you think, Gouzi?"
[The Commander is not that kind of person!] Gouzi's face popped out from the back of the video and said.
[But she can call him Sun Yang affectionately. I fought for that name... My home was robbed by a dirty undead who doesn't like to bathe... The thought of the Commander entering and exiting a human woman's body...] M4 stood up and walked around, looking devastated.
They will definitely support and encourage each other in battle, and gradually become closer. However, those of us who work hard for the commander cannot receive his love and warmth.
"This is NTR. I was NTR'd by a human, but I'm so tolerant that I can handle other humanoids. Why is this happening again? Pascal? Will you give me an answer?" M4 fell into depression again.
255 Humanoid Theater (Part )
"No, I think you're simulating the jealousy and suspicion some human women feel right now." Pascal, who was dissecting a strange corpse at the base, interrupted.
[Go away, I'm not talking to you... No, Pascal, don't you think the Commander is being too much? Talking to a human female...] M4 immediately pulled Pascal along.
"Professor, now that you have us, it's hard to get interested in humans anymore, right? After all, our physical abilities are exceptional among humans." Pascal smiled, narrowing his eyes as he recalled something.
[It’s not just the body, it’s——] M4 was about to continue speaking when AR15 patted him and stopped him.
[Just stop right there! Nothing's happened yet, and yet you're already presupposing everything? Didn't you have enough fun that month? Huh?! Didn't I feed you enough?] AR15 swung his arm and smacked M4's butt hard, sending her flying and then tumbling to the ground.
"Don't make Ayang so distressed. You shouldn't take advantage of his love for you and put pressure on him. Look at that, isn't it embarrassing? You've already warned others, so try to behave yourself." AR15 scolded him.
[I am obviously the master of the harem...] M4 touched his sore butt.
"If you keep doing this, you'll be a disgrace to the harem. No one else said anything, but you're the only one worrying all the time." AR15 rolled her eyes. She had nothing more to say about her captain's behavior.
Although AR15 knew that his captain's previous tough and vicious attitude was due to being in a high-pressure environment, forcing him to act that way.
Because if you don't do that, the other party may look down on you. Only by arming yourself can you appear more intimidating.
But now life in my hometown is easy. Everyone is strong and powerful, technology is advancing steadily, and even with Sun Yang's efforts, we have found many allies.
In this relaxed environment, M4's mindset gradually relaxed. For a humanoid like M4, once relaxed, it was truly relaxed. All sorts of strange thoughts began to pop up.
Should I have been more ruthless and let Yang abandon that woman? "Ayang, you only need to rely on us, not those fragile humans. Trust me, depend on me, protect me. We are your only choice! We can handle our own problems! Let those humans go!" Wouldn't that be better? M4 began to have wild thoughts again.
"I've seen your self-directed, self-acted performance dozens of times. And we can't rely on ourselves. At best, we can only carry out special missions. A head-on confrontation requires armored units and firepower support. Counting the mechanical puppets currently being improved and produced for the Iron Blood, our combined combat power barely rivals that of a division." The AR15 punctured M4's delusions.
[M4, do you need to see a therapist? You've been getting more and more anxious lately. It's a little strange for a humanoid to need a therapist, though...] The dog looked up from his confrontation with RO.
"I don't need it. I just find this situation a little unacceptable. I don't want to compete fairly with humans. They don't deserve it, they don't deserve it..." Unable to pound the cabin floor, M4 could only punch the air.
"If you ask me, if this really happened, you'd have to admit it. If it was the Commander messing around, it would be fine, but now you're the one sitting here raging at the Commander in the void all day. What's the point of you raging like that?" The white-haired 16th brother also offered some advice.
"I can't stop my random thoughts. I don't want to, but my mind cloud keeps generating these thoughts automatically. Pascal seemed to have said that my mind cloud is closer to that of a human? If you had a human body, perhaps you would understand my thoughts..." M4 said, covering her head.
She's human. She can marry Yang and have offspring. Offspring belonging to her and Yang. But I don't have any. I have nothing. I can't have offspring belonging to Yang and me. I'm a robot. I can't do it. I'm not flesh and blood. I can't give birth to his children. M4 sat back down, hugging her knees.
"Ah... Shit, it's started again," RO635 said impatiently. "How come I, a third-generation humanoid prototype with no basic limitations, don't have any ideas at all? Do you want to check your mind cloud? Was someone secretly installed with a program to force you to like the Commander? You're acting so strangely. What kind of humanoid would be madly in love?"
"No, I don't check. I think it's fine this way. I like the feeling of missing someone. Missing Yang feels really good." M4 replied.
[You're so stubborn!] RO cursed and continued to concentrate on fighting Gouzi.
[Don't make your relationship with the Commander too complicated... Speaking of human bodies. The follow-up message the Commander provided specifically mentioned an organization called "The Academy." According to reliable intelligence the Commander obtained through shamanic manipulation, this organization possesses advanced android technology and the ability to transfer robotic individuals into human bodies.] After Brother 16 finished reading, AR15's expression changed and he looked at M4.
[When do we leave?] M4's expression changed instantly, becoming very serious.
[You want... No, I think I know what you're going to do.] AR15 said helplessly.
"Don't you think it's interesting to have a human body? That's a whole new experience." M4 said to her companions in the cabin.
[Hmm...that's certainly interesting. Although I feel like this is playing with fire.] Even the staid RO was intrigued. The humanoid mind, or more precisely, the personality born from the mind cloud, operates entirely differently from a physical human.
