"That's the only option. I want a royal-style room. How soon can you do it?" Juxi asked.
As soon as it received the instructions, the robot immediately started working and replied, "Because we already have a rough shape, this time it will only take one minute."
Wow, this is quite unbelievable when you think about it! Especially for Juxi, who just thought this guy was already impressive as a family nanny and transportation. But now, it seems that this guy is not just impressive, but a real monster.
However, Juxi still had some doubts. Where did this guy get all the materials from?
Speaking of where things come from, Juxi was particularly surprised by the breakfast he ate. What was it exactly?
When thinking of the hot porridge he had this morning, Juxi asked with a frightened face, "What is this food made of?"
He could let go of the decorations and furniture in the room, but the food he ate had to go into his stomach, so Juxi really wanted to know!
"Um..." The robot hesitated, clearly unsure whether to say it or not.
"Tell me, I can handle it!" Juxi trembled.
"Master, you may have misunderstood my meaning. Actually, my program does not record the option to remember the ingredients used. But I can assure you that these things do not have any harm to the human body beyond the critical point, so you can rest assured."
"But eating shit... seems similar. Anyway, you didn't use anything strange, did you?" Juxi was still a little worried because he knew that the robot would not harm him, so he was only concerned about any weird aspects of the food.
"Master, you can eat it with confidence. These things do not harm the human body beyond the critical point, so you can rest assured."
"..."
Juxi didn't think the robot was lying, and besides, he was just curious about what was in the food, without the intention of it being bad-tasting.
But the more Juxi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he ended up sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes becoming blurry.
Whenever this person daydreamed, he would get sleepy.
Juxi was just an ordinary person, and soon he fell asleep again and found it difficult to keep his eyes open.
As the days and nights passed, the temperature on the planet continued to drop, and Juxi felt a slight discomfort, but he was still unaware in his dream.
Not long after, Juxi was awakened by the cold. "Is it already this late?"
Although he woke up, he hadn't had enough sleep, so all he did was close the window.
Just as Juxi was about to close the window, a faint blue figure caught his attention.
Feeling a sense of familiarity, Juxi couldn't help but call out, wanting to stop the figure.
But then he thought, if the other person was just a wild animal living on this planet, perhaps he shouldn't disturb its life.
Thinking this way, Juxi lost the desire and interest to chase after it.
He was a guest here, and the others were the masters. Regardless, he should not harm any of the life here.
Juxi understood the meaning of life and knew how important it was to be alive.
Because only when alive can one have joy and sorrow, and only when alive can one have pursuits. So, Juxi constantly reminds himself that if he never wakes up again... then he must treat every day as if it were his last, experiencing the taste of life every day!
Bang! Bang!
Juxi tapped on the glass with his finger, feeling a slight pain that made him feel somewhat reluctant.
Never did he expect that, after experiencing so much, in the end... it was all just a dream? Juxi thought in his heart.
Just like the robot said, whether it is life, old age, sickness, or death, or even glory and wealth, in the end, it is all an empty dream, all just a figment of his own imagination.
Looking outside the window now, peace and tranquility coexist in the mountains and forests, with no one to disturb him, and no one thinking about him. Is this what he wanted?
No! What Juxi needs is not this moment of tranquility. What he truly needs is the truth behind this eternity!
In ten thousand years' time, he remembers many things, but at the same time, forgets many things, perhaps even more than he remembers.
But at least now, when Juxi places his hand on his chest, he can feel his feeble heartbeat.
And when he breathes the air, he can sense that it has never been so fresh. It carries various scents, especially the fragrance of wild grasses!
After lying on the bed for a while, Juxi couldn't bear the loneliness any longer and decided to go downstairs and take a look outside.
Although it was warm and comfortable in the room, it also confined him, preventing him from enjoying the night of this world.
Downstairs, the robot was busy preparing dinner, and Juxi happened to see the robot holding a colorful little creature with countless scales, resembling a creature that lived in the water.
"How can you eat the animals here?" Juxi couldn't help but criticize the robot, "I've already said, I don't really want to eat those strange things. Look... Oh, this little guy is so cute, but can people really eat it?"
Thinking about the bowl of porridge he had this morning, it seemed to have some strands of meat in it, and Juxi initially thought it was chicken or something.
Now it seems that the meat must be something strange, definitely not normal poultry—because there is simply nothing normal here!
Of course, what is normal?
Even Juxi himself is not entirely sure. If he forcibly assigns a normal label to the creatures here, it would definitely be unfair.
But what else can he do now?
Adaptation takes time, but...
Juxi tried to persuade himself in his mind, silently repeating that the food in front of him is just ordinary fish, without anything strange.
The robot also comforted him at this moment, saying, "Don't worry, Master. I have already analyzed its taste, and I guarantee that it will be no different from ordinary fish soup. Also, I will try my best to beautify the food, just like this morning's meat porridge, making sure you don't know what was used in it."
"Hold on!" Juxi's pupils suddenly contracted, and he asked with fear, "In the meat porridge you made this morning... I can neglect asking about other ingredients, but can you please tell me in detail, what kind of meat was in it?"
"What animal's meat do you think it tasted like, Master?" the robot not only didn't answer, but asked back.
"I think... it had a chewy texture, so it should be beef or pork, right?" Juxi guessed, but the robot turned its head, as if contemplating something.
Seeing that the robot didn't say anything, Juxi guessed again, "Never mind whether I'm right or not, just tell me the answer directly, at least let me feel a bit more at ease with my food."
Although Juxi really wanted to know what it was, the robot shook its head and said, "It's better for the master not to know, that way you will be more at ease with your food."
"Ease my ass!!!" Juxi exploded like a raging tiger, wishing to tear it into pieces.
But upon careful consideration, it seemed that there were only the two of them here... one person and one robot, and they were in this together.
If it turned off the robot now, there would be only Juxi left here, wouldn't that be even more lonely? Juxi was deeply afraid in his heart.
"Okay, since it's what the master wishes, then I will fulfill the master's wish..." The robot finally compromised with Juxi.
As soon as Juxi heard about decryption, his heart immediately jumped into his throat.
He saw the robot not only not slowing down as it said, "Since the master wants to know, then I will tell the truth... Master, I did it all for your own good! In order for you to survive, I killed the other robots and cooked their owners, and then fed them to you!"
"..."
Juxi felt as if he had been struck by lightning all over his body, and he instantly froze in place.
At the same time, the kitchen knife in the robot's hand showed no sign of stopping, and the glint on the blade was chilling to the bone for Juxi!
The robot's movements gradually slowed down, and it turned its head and said, "Master, actually, your breakfast is your childhood sweetheart, Xiaomei. She has taken good care of you, so her meat is the most tender."
"You, you...ugh~!"
Juxi began to frantically claw at his own throat and forcefully vomit.
He tried his best to vomit out today's breakfast, and he was completely crazy. Finally, he simply rolled around on the ground.
"Ah..."
The robot sighed and said, "Master, I was just joking earlier, see, I said it would be better not to tell you."
"Are you lying to me?" Juxi asked while dry heaving.
"You lied to me first, Master. I just activated my education mode earlier to teach you a lesson, but... it seems a bit too much. Your blood pressure had already reached a critical point just now," the robot explained with concern. Finally, Juxi was relieved.
"You scared the hell out of me!"
Seeing Juxi, who was scared out of his wits, the robot kept apologizing, "I'm really sorry, Master. I will pay more attention next time and include this mistake in my self-updating next time."
Juxi felt that he understood it less and less. It was just a robot after all, but in the end, it played with him.
"By the way... is Yu Nai's robot called Xiaomei?"
Juxi suddenly remembered the joke from earlier and continued to ask, "Every robot has a name, so you should have your own name too, right?"
Hearing Juxi mention a name, the robot became doubtful, "Name... but that is a treasure exclusive to the masters, we are not worthy of having it."
