Wen Bai continued, "Last question, after you gained consciousness, did you have a strong, uncontrollable urge to harm humans?"
"Why would I harm humans? I just want to protect my little master well and stop those hateful little humans from bullying him."
"No, right now I just want to get the master's clothes back..."
"I hate the master who abandoned me, but I can't beat anyone. Humans are so scary. I feel even more pathetic..."
"I want him..." the enchanting female rogue robot interjected.
...
In short, all the rogue robots unanimously answered Wen Bai with a negative.
Wen Bai fell into thought.
Then why did those harmful rogue robots directly injure people?
Was it because they weren't smart enough?
Or was it because they lacked sufficient human intelligence?
Or perhaps, they were... forced?
Seeing that Wen Bai had finished asking, the short-haired female rogue robot who spoke first impatiently asked, "You're done asking. Can you now fulfill your promise?"
Wen Bai said coldly with a blank expression, "As promised, I will buy all of you."
The short-haired female rogue robot's expression immediately turned fierce as she said hastily, "And then make us do this for you, just changing the place..."
Wen Bai interrupted her faintly, "After I buy you, you can go wherever you want."
The short-haired female rogue robot's tone then softened, and she showed a more agreeable expression, "You keep your word."
A timid voice interjected at this moment, "But my master doesn't want me. Where can I go?"
Wen Bai didn't even look at the robot and answered coldly, "That's your business. Of course, you can also choose not to leave here."
The rogue robot with a timid voice, who appeared to be male, looked at the tall and handsome robot standing behind Wen Bai and asked, "That's not what I meant. I... can I follow you?"
He gestured to the tall robot, 575, standing behind Wen Bai, "I can protect you just like it does."
A brief silence followed.
Robot 575, the tall one standing behind Wen Bai, his pair of ethereal blue eyes displayed a piercing gaze as he looked at the overconfident rogue robot making such an unreasonable demand to compete for his master.
This was a male rogue robot that looked somewhat cute. Compared to other powerful-looking male rogue robots, it appeared unexpectedly soft.
This cute-looking male rogue robot tried its best to ignore the gaze of the tall robot behind Wen Bai and remained standing, controlling itself not to retreat.
Wen Bai's naked, questioning gaze fell upon the robot.
Although Wen Bai didn't know why its master abandoned it, he didn't have the time or inclination to take in or save anyone.
"No," the cold voice directly gave the robot a decisive refusal.
"Oh," the cute male rogue robot responded with visible disappointment, its head drooping.
-
With that matter concluded, Wen Bai felt he should fulfill his promise.
He walked to the door and pulled it open.
As expected, a few meters away, the bald thug was standing guard. He was leaning against the wall, idly playing with a lighter in his hand.
Seeing Wen Bai emerge, he immediately straightened up, put away his lighter, and walked directly over.
He asked in a gentle voice that was remarkably at odds with his rugged appearance, "Customer, is there anything you need?"
Wen Bai glanced back into the room and gestured for him to come inside to talk.
The two walked into the room. The bald man noticed that the rogue robots inside were scattered, some standing, some sitting, and were looking at them intentionally or unintentionally.
The bald thug observed them and pondered: Did the customer not have enough fun?
He then thought with a shudder, or perhaps there weren't enough?
It wasn't impossible. After all, the fact that this customer could keep so many rogue robots at once had opened his eyes. Stranger things could happen, and talented individuals were not unheard of.
The bald thug's gaze towards Wen Bai gradually became complex.
Wen Bai, however, didn't try to guess what the other person was thinking.
"Them," Wen Bai said indifferently, casually pointing to the rogue robots in the room, "How much?"
The bald thug in front of Wen Bai was momentarily stunned. After confirming he hadn't misheard, he said tactfully, "Customer, they are not for sale here."
The rogue robots were all listening intently to the conversation. Hearing this, some clenched their fists, while others froze.
System 001 couldn't stand it and immediately offered Wen Bai advice, "Host, ask him to name his price. This person loves money so much, how could he possibly refuse?"
Wen Bai heard this and followed System 001's suggestion.
He looked up and said calmly, "You can name your price."
If the bald thug had heard this request from anyone else, he would have assumed the person was there to cause trouble and would have immediately taken action without hesitation.
He would have beaten them until they couldn't speak anymore.
But this customer, this extravagant and distinguished customer!
The bald thug believed that the other party wasn't joking. Given the customer's previous attitude of spending money like water, he truly felt that the customer could afford it.
After a brief mental calculation, the bald thug made up his mind.
The bald thug said in a low voice to Wen Bai, "Customer, please wait here for a moment. I need to communicate with the boss."
Wen Bai nodded. He probably couldn't make the decision himself.
Then, the bald thug quickly walked to the door, opened it, and went out.
Before he even reached outside the door, he anxiously took out his phone and started dialing.
-
At the same time, the top celebrity Gou Zhe also appeared in this gray area, the red-light district of the city where Wen Bai was located.
Wearing a baseball cap and a large mask, completely concealing himself, Gou Zhe was currently standing at the intersection where Wen Bai had been. He looked at the scantily clad men and women in front of him and frowned deeply.
Gou Zhe took out his phone again to confirm the address.
That was right, this was indeed the address that Ren Liuliu had given him.
He then opened his phone map and looked at the place name.
It was correct, the name matched.
The information from Ren Liuliu could definitely not be wrong.
He raised his right hand and pulled the brim of his baseball cap down lower.
Zhao Fugui, who had been pestering him to come along and help, was seeing this kind of scene for the first time in his life. His hair stood on end, and his eyes widened.
