Chapter 281 Little Fangirl Bud

At the thought of these possibilities, Hualei's heart suddenly became active, as if a fire was burning in her chest.

If the puppet sister in front of him is really the apostle of the mechanical fairy, this is a perfect opportunity!

In this strange and dangerous world of ruins, it is a great fortune to encounter such an existence.

Hua Lei decided to build a good relationship with the puppet sister in front of her.

Not only for better survival in this game world in the future, but also for a deeper understanding of the secrets of this world, and even the possibility of entering the main storyline of the game, and then meeting Tao Yao, the one you long for most, in the main storyline of the game in the future.

Once this idea formed, it became clearer and clearer in her mind, making it almost impossible for her to suppress her excitement.

"that……"

Hualei relaxed her posture, and her tone became casual and friendly.

"Have you lived in this ruin for a long time? Have you ever seen other...humans like me?"

She deliberately asked the question in a chatty tone, hoping to lighten the atmosphere.

Tao Yao didn't seem surprised by Hualei's transformation. She maintained her elegant and precise posture and replied:

"Time has lost its meaning to this body. As for humans like you..."

She paused slightly, as if thinking: "It has been a long time since any living person has visited these ruins. You are an exception, little girl."

Hua Lei listened to Tao Yao's answer as she walked, but her eyes quietly passed Tao Yao and looked at the other puppet who had been silent.

The doll remained perfectly silent from beginning to end, as if it were just an exquisite decoration rather than a thinking being.

Curiosity drove Hualei to stick her head out and look directly at the silent doll:

"What about the sister next to you? Why doesn't she speak? Is there something wrong with her?"

Bud's question was direct and bold, almost with a hint of childish rudeness.

But her eyes were filled with genuine curiosity, without any malice, just a simple desire to know more.

When Tao Yao heard this question, a barely perceptible smile flashed across her eyes.

She turned around and glanced at Zhongmo before answering Hualei's question:

"She has a cool and aloof emotional template and doesn't like to talk too much."

There was a hint of teasing in Tao Yao's voice, as if she was making a joke that only she could understand:

"In puppets like ours, the personality template is set when they are manufactured."

"Some dolls are designed to be lively and cheerful assistants, while others are more inclined to be calm and analytical think tanks. As for her..."

She paused for a moment and looked at the silent puppet with gentle eyes:

"She's the type who only speaks when necessary."

"But don't be misled by her silence, she is more observant and thoughtful than many eloquent puppets."

While Taoyao was saying these words.

I was speechless at the end of being forced to open the business.

However, she did not explain anything, but silently agreed to Tao Yao's statement.

At this moment, Hua Lei listened to this explanation, nodded thoughtfully, and did not continue to ask questions.

She seemed to accept this explanation because, in her opinion, it did fit the setting of a highly developed mechanical civilization.

It sounded just like what she expected from Goblin Journey.

"Your mechanical dolls are really rich..."

Hualei sighed sincerely:

"Just like humans, there are all kinds of personalities."

"Especially you, sister. You are gentle and intelligent. Your tone even sounds very similar to a certain sister in my impression."

When she said the last sentence, Hua Lei's voice involuntarily became a little softer, and her eyes became a little vague.

But she quickly perked up and a curious expression returned to her face.

"By the way, how should I address my two sisters?"

Hualei seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly:

"Do you have any names? You can't really call them by your numbers, right?"

"That's too rigid, and I can't remember such long numbers."

When Tao Yao heard this question, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, forming a perfect and gentle smile.

Her answer was fluent and natural, as if she had prepared it long ago.

"A name is just a symbol used to distinguish different individuals."

Tao Yao explained, her voice gentle and patient:

"Numbering is indeed too complex for humans to communicate in daily life."

"If you think MX-11307 and FE-09255 are too hard to remember..."

She paused for a moment, as if thinking of a more appropriate way to address her.

"You can call us 'Love' and 'Friendship'. These are the most appropriate names we randomly generated based on the nature of our functions. They will also be easier for you to remember."

Taoyao's answer not only conforms to the logic of a mechanical puppet, but also carries a hint of human consideration.

"In the old days, humans often gave their mechanical assistants simple and meaningful names instead of using complicated numbers."

After hearing these words, Hualei's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something interesting.

She repeated the two names softly:

"Friendship...Friendship..."

Suddenly, as if inspired by something, she began to recite softly:

"Love is deep and friendship is far-reaching, like a machine soul."

"A body of steel, but with a warm heart..."

Hualei's smile was a little shy, but there was a sincere light in her eyes.

"Sister Qing and Sister Yi, these two names are really beautiful and very suitable for you."

"..."

Then, as the conversation continued, the relationship between Hualei and Taoyao became closer and closer.

They talked about the history of this ruin, and the lost technology...

Hua Lei found that talking with this "sister" was a very pleasant experience.

She is knowledgeable, quick-witted, and has an indescribable sense of intimacy.

however.

Hua Lei didn't notice that while she and Tao Yao were chatting enthusiastically, "Yi", the incarnation of the end fairy, had been following them.

She noticed this and her face turned a little gloomy.

A barely perceptible hint of dissatisfaction and vigilance flashed across the delicate puppet's eyes, as if the puppet was thinking about something important.

Then we walked for about another twenty minutes.

They walked through several intricate corridors and several half-collapsed rooms.

A new area appeared in front of them.

At this time, Zhongmo suddenly stopped and interrupted the conversation between Hualei and Taoyao.

"arrive."

This was the first sentence Zhongmo said since they met, and his voice was unexpectedly clear and pleasant.

The women stopped and the sight before them made Hua Lei hold her breath.

It was indeed a dilapidated ruin, with half of the ceiling having collapsed, revealing the gray sky above.

The ground was littered with rubble and metal debris, and the paint on the walls had peeled off, revealing a rusted steel skeleton underneath.

But even in such a dilapidated state, the flower buds still provide faint traces that indicate this was once an exquisite flower shop.

Although the remaining logo on the wall has faded, a geometric flower pattern can still be vaguely recognized.

There are also some broken flower pots and twisted metal shelves in the corners, which may have once been display tables for various plants.

The most surprising thing is that in the central area of ​​the room, there is a huge, circular device that looks like some kind of advanced cultivation system. Although it is no longer in operation, its existence undoubtedly proves that this was once a place dedicated to cultivating plants.

The picture is both desolate and has a strange beauty.

The fusion of technology and nature leaves traces even after destruction.

When Hualei saw this scene, she immediately became excited. She almost trotted in to explore to see if she could find a suitable container to place the twin flowers.

"This is really a flower shop! It's amazing!"

There was excitement in Hualei's voice, "I'm sure I can find the right flower pot here!"

However, just as she was about to step into the threshold of the dilapidated flower shop, Tao Yao suddenly stretched out her hand and blocked her way.

The arm with puppet features moved quickly and precisely, yet gently, stopping just in front of Hualei, not touching her but clearly expressing its intention to stop her.

"Don't worry!"

Taoyao's voice was filled with rare seriousness and warning.

"It could be dangerous. This area was once an advanced plant breeding center, and the defense system inside might still be functioning."

Her eyes scanned the dark corners ahead vigilantly, as if she could see threats that ordinary people could not perceive:

"Let me go in and check it out first."

After Tao Yao said these words, she walked forward a few steps without any hesitation.

Her back appeared particularly tall and graceful in the dim environment, and every step she took was placed in the safest position on the ground, as if she already knew the area well.

Suddenly, Taoyao's eyes emitted blue light, forming two fine laser beams that scanned the space in front.

The light forms complex geometric patterns in the air, presenting the entire interior of the flower shop in the form of a three-dimensional image.

From the perspective of the flower buds, it looks like a scene from some high-tech movie.

And those precise lights outline every detail and every potential threat hidden in the darkness.

At this moment.

Taoyao did not use her original authority.

What she used were just some of the functions that the puppet's body had.

After all, let’s put aside the powerful power she possesses as a fairy.

The body of this puppet is very powerful in itself, and has performance and functions far beyond ordinary machines.

Especially before preparing to come to the Mechanical City to look for the Mechanical Flower, she and Little End spent a lot of effort to carry out a simple but effective upgrade on the two puppet bodies.

Added an enhanced perception system, strengthened joint structure and more intelligent defense mechanism.

All this is done to be able to move safely through this dangerous ruin while concealing your identity.

It can be said that based on the performance of this puppet body alone, Taoyao is already a true super mechanical life form.

This is why she can face the various threats that may exist in these ruins so confidently.

When Hua Lei, who was standing by, saw this scene, stars almost appeared in her eyes.

Her mouth was slightly open, and she watched Tao Yao's every move with curiosity and admiration.

That unprecedented high-tech display had an unimaginable attraction for a little girl from the ordinary world.

"Wow……"
