Chapter 151 He Had No Heartbeat

Lin Qi looked at the robot in front of him and thought, "Hmm, as expected of him. His technology is so perfect, the repaired parts are completely flawless."

He listened to his friend's words while thinking.

What he wanted most?

Even Director Li knew that what he wanted most was always a runaway robot that he could research...

Lin Qi's eyes widened slightly, and then he heard Director Li's continuously excited voice from the receiver: "...Runaway robots! Five of them! How about that? Don't you say I'm amazing! Only for you to research, using your methods! No one will interfere with you this time!"

Lin Qi asked, somewhat sluggishly and incredulously, "Are you serious?"

"Since we met, have I ever lied to you?" The tone on the other side became smug.

Lin Qi asked very quickly, "Where are you?"

For such important research materials, Director Li would never let them leave his sight before he saw them.

Director Li and they must be together right now!

"Don't be anxious, you know you can't leave there right now. Tomorrow, at 8 AM tomorrow, there will be an official notice issued. You will be formally transferred back tomorrow, and a special experimental group will be set up for you, and these five runaway robots will be your only experimental subjects, I guarantee."

Although Lin Qi didn't know what exactly had happened to the other person, what they had encountered, or why they sounded so certain.

However, this was the only friend he had always trusted, and he had no doubt about his words.

Lin Qi, suppressing his excitement, replied, "Okay."

Meanwhile, in the car, Director Li pressed the hang-up button with hands that were trembling slightly uncontrollably due to excitement.

Lin Qi's experimental group would include his most capable assistants from before.

And those of Lin Qi's most capable assistants were currently in the car where Director Li was sitting.

They had been sidelined together because of Lin Qi, but they had stayed and waited for an opportunity.

And they would all participate in this runaway robot research.

Director Li had never told Lin Qi that he had been promoted or how he had gained real power until the matter was settled.

He was worried about his good brother feeling bad, as Director Li had always felt that Lin Qi just hadn't encountered the right opportunity.

Director Li had always felt that his good brother Lin Qi's technical skills were among the very best of the researchers in the robot research center.

And Director Li himself was just average at everything, except for having a tiny bit of connection through his family.

How could he have been promoted and gained power while Lin Qi was still suffering in some remote corner?

The moment Director Li gained power, he decided he had to bring his talented but unrecognized good brother back.

And this time, these five runaway robots handed over to him by Mr. Wen were the bargaining chip, and with Mr. Wen as his backer, the matter went smoothly.

-

After Director Li and his party left, Wen Bai no longer concealed his weakness. He put down the empty glass in his hand, got up with extreme weakness and no expression, and went upstairs.

He opened the door and before he was a few steps away from the bed, he suddenly fell forward, face-first into the bed...

The tall robot naturally followed its owner closely. At this moment, the tall robot entered Wen Bai's bedroom, one step behind Wen Bai.

Then, it saw its owner collapsed on the bed.

Wen Bai was still buried in the quilt. He struggled to stand up to take a bath, but he couldn't move, not even a finger. He couldn't even turn his head, lying face down between the pillow and the quilt.

Fortunately, the pillow provided some cushioning, and this position allowed him to breathe.

The mental tension that had been held so tightly was now suddenly released, leaving only one word: exhaustion.

System 001 sensed Wen Bai's struggle and suggested, "Host, you can ask 575 to help you bathe. It's strong enough to carry you."

Seeing that Wen Bai didn't react, System 001 felt that its suggestion was really brilliant and tried hard to persuade him: "You don't even need to lift a finger, just lie there with your eyes closed. It can even wash you clean, dry you off, and then put you back in bed..."

System 001 had already highly praised 575's housekeeping abilities.

Wen Bai's head didn't process it and he mumbled unconsciously, asking System 001, "575 helps me bathe?"

Perhaps due to his low mental energy, Wen Bai's thinking became sluggish.

He reacted sluggishly for a second before he understood what System 001 was suggesting.

Although 575 was a household robot and usually took care of Wen Bai's daily life, even helping Wen Bai tie his tie and button his shirt.

Still, Wen Bai felt that System 001's suggestion was... a terrible idea.

System 001 explained information that Wen Bai, having experienced several worlds, already knew: "The side effects of this mandatory physique enhancement item obtained through exchange cannot be eliminated by the dispelling potions obtained through points. You can only rest well and wait for your body to recover naturally. So, Host, the best way now is to let 575 do it for you!"

Even so, Wen Bai would rather rest a bit longer and wash himself when he had the strength...

The next second, Wen Bai felt his entire body being gently flipped, then something bumped into him, and then he was lifted into the air...

After a brief 2 seconds.

Wen Bai, whose mind had become sluggish, came to his senses and found himself in the arms of the tall robot.

Wen Bai, with a blank expression, looked at the robot holding him and asked woodenly, "What are you doing..."

The tall robot's deep blue eyes looked directly into its owner's eyes. Its deep, magnetic voice sounded in Wen Bai's ear, "Executing command, helping Master bathe."

Wen Bai fell silent for a few seconds.

He hadn't noticed at all that his robot 575 had also followed him into the room.

And not only had it entered the room, but it had also heard what he had said...

The tall robot had no idea what its owner was thinking at the moment.

It merely scanned Wen Bai's face with its gaze for a moment. Seeing no reaction from its owner, it directly carried him towards the bathroom.

As they reached the bathroom door, Wen Bai immediately turned black and stretched out a hand, grabbing the sleeve of the robot's arm that was holding his shoulder.

"Put me down, I'll wash myself."

The tall robot heard its owner's command and stopped without hesitation, putting its owner down.

As soon as Wen Bai landed, he stubbornly supported himself and walked into the bathroom.
