Kolev turned around suddenly, and when he saw the figure behind him, he shouted in surprise:
"Han...hahaha! It's really you!"
Yang Ming put away the silver-white remote control in his hand.
Then, Kolev frowned, pinched one of his beards, and gently pulled it.
"Hiss, this is not a dream, you really appeared in front of me!"
But Kolev quickly calmed down.
He looked at Yang Ming's outfit at the moment.
Wearing a light blue maintenance worker's uniform, he had some stubble on his face, his eyes were still tired from a long voyage, and his mental state seemed not to be very good.
"Oh, why are you down again? What should I call you now?" Kolev asked warily.
"Just call me Yang Ming," Yang Ming said warmly, and then patted his shriveled belly, "Didn't your old friend come here without a full meal? Don't worry, I have a normal status now, and the passport you gave me is still there.
Using."
"Of course! Wait a minute...oh, my robots are all crashed?"
Yang Ming raised his hand and pressed his watch twice, and said slowly: "Lu, have you modified their program?"
A three-inch-tall projection of Molly No. 2 appeared on the watch, wearing an elegant evening dress and whispering: "It has been modified, boss."
"Well, activate it."
Kolev was keenly aware that something was not right about the projection of Molly 2.
She is very meticulous and agile, and her expression and state are closer to Molly No. 1.
law?
It seems that even the name is different.
Kolev, the creator of Molly, certainly understands that Molly 2 does not have other functions besides controlling the spacecraft, nor does it add learning modules that require powerful computing power and energy support.
"No. 2, do you still remember me?" Kolev called softly.
The girl looked up, gave Kolev a decent smile, and said quickly:
"Hello Mr. Kolev, I should call you Mr. Hatton now. My boss always mentions you. It is your generosity that has made my boss one hundred thousandth as brilliant. But I am not number two, or in other words,
I am the advanced body of No. 2, and my name is Lu."
Kolev said in surprise: "Yang Ming, you redesigned her?"
"That's right," Yang Ming didn't want to talk about this topic now, "get me something to eat first, let me have a taste of the luxurious lunch of a rich man like you!"
Beside the window sill, in the living room, and inside and outside the manor, the robots that had just been shut down woke up at the same time and continued to carry out the instructions they had been executing before as if nothing happened.
The butler moved forward, ignored Yang Ming, and said to Kolev: "Master, are you talking to the air? Your mental state worries me."
Kolev was stunned.
He turned his head and glared at Yang Ming, then at the housekeeper robot that he had reprogrammed himself, with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Don't worry, the purpose of Lu's modification is to make them unable to hear or see me, to prevent information leakage and not affect their normal work."
"Oh, how is this done?"
Kolev's eyes were full of surprise, staring at Yang Ming's watch as if he were looking at a monster.
This watch was given by him before.
…
This old guy's life is really degenerate now.
Yang Ming gnawed on the juicy roasted animal legs, enjoying the silky texture brought by the precise knife skills of the chef robot. After eating a few bites of the roasted meat, he couldn't help but let out a few moans.
"It's been half a year," Yang Ming sighed, "I finally don't have to eat synthetic biscuits!"
The girl's murmur came from his watch: "Synthetic biscuits are much more nutritious than this. You have consumed excess fat and protein."
"Shut up," Yang Ming scolded with a smile, "you don't know how unpalatable the synthetic biscuits you made are, they are just pig food."
"Okay, boss, you can press the power button on that instrument yourself from now on."
Yang Ming scolded: "Give me some face, Lu! This is in front of my old buddy!"
"If the price of pleasure is self-destruction, then I suggest you maintain self-discipline to ensure your thinking is quick." Lu said seriously.
She added:
"Even if your life level has exceeded that of ordinary life forms of your species, you still have a lot of room for improvement."
"You can remain silent while I eat. That's an order."
Lu fell silent for a moment.
Yang Ming inserted something similar to an earth cherry tomato, and after eating it, his mouth was full of juice, and he sighed happily.
The world is finally quiet.
Then, Yang Ming looked at Kolev, who was looking suspicious at the side.
"Surprised? My dear old fellow."
Kolev raised his hand to signal the robots serving around him to retreat, took out a pen from his jacket pocket, twisted the cap of the pen, and a pink isolation cover wrapped around the two of them.
Kolev asked with twinkling eyes.
"Who is Lina?"
"The female spy who tried to put me in a transparent can."
"Where did she die?"
"Aerhof Geosynchronous Orbit."
“Is my daughter’s mole on her left shoulder or her right shoulder?”
"Does your daughter have a mole on her shoulder?" Yang Ming looked puzzled, "How would I know? I've never looked at her shoulder."
"Oh," Kolev smiled with squinting eyes and put down the laser pistol hidden under the table with satisfaction, "You are indeed my old buddy. What have you been doing for the past six months? Where is the Feinan?"
"It's not here. It's parked outside your secret base now. You can pick us up at any time," Yang Ming said. "Your base is empty. Where did Mimi Li go?"
Kolev looked a little gloomy: "The child will grow up one day. We had a quarrel, and she chose to continue to fulfill her dream and become the freest pirate in the starry sky."
Yang Ming was not surprised at all: "Respect her."
"Yes," Kolev sighed, "but she has a problem, that is, she is not ruthless enough."
Yang Ming picked up the warm and sweet animal milk and drank it in one gulp, feeling that his whole body was full of energy again.
"Okay Kolev, let's get down to business."
Kolev curled his lips and crossed his legs like an uncle.
"Yang Ming, if the real thing is to start a pirate group, then I can tell you clearly that you have missed your only opportunity. I like my life like this now, and I have enough money to make others respect me."
"You need me to conquer you for the second time," Yang Ming said with a smile.
Kolev smiled confidently and was already ready for defense.
"My goal has never been to become a pirate," Yang Ming said briskly, "I need your help this time, because the only one I can trust is you, and next I need an experienced and intelligent assistant, as well as a Reasonable wealthy status as a cover-up."
Kolev waved his hand impatiently: "Save your sweet words for those ignorant girls! I have already suffered a heavy loss by cooperating with you once, let alone becoming your long-term assistant!"
Yang Ming's expression became quite serious.
He rested his arms on the edge of the table, intertwined his fingers, leaned forward, and his eyes were so sincere.
"Remember Kolev?"
"Do you have to play this trick?" Kolev asked with a frown.
Yang Ming suppressed his smile and returned to sincerity: "Why did I come to you? In fact, I can do it alone. It is enough to let Lu handle the technical matters. But something you said once made me feel that I should take you with me to do it.
This is a big deal."
"A paragraph?"
"Eternal Voyage," Yang Ming said, "You are Kolev with a spirit of exploration. Although you later became a pirate villain, this cannot conceal your thirst for knowledge."
Kolev couldn't laugh or cry.
Yang Ming's voice slowly slowed down:
"You have been sailing on the edge of the Milky Way for most of your life, and you understand the Milky Way. But do you understand the broader universe outside the Milky Way?
"Don't you want to know how life forms in higher-dimensional worlds operate and what they are pursuing?
"Although you don't have much left in your life, don't you want to realize your self-worth at a higher level besides being a pirate, and pursue the pleasure of satisfying your desire for discovery?"
"No!" Kolev replied seriously and cheerfully.
"Hey, you're losing your energy!"
Yang Ming rubbed his eyebrows and said depressedly:
"Okay, Kolev, I admit that I need your help. Lu's intelligence is a bit too high. If I rely on her blindly, it will be easy for her to get into trouble, and it will be easy to expose her to major forces.
Right now, this is brewing another crisis."
Kolev looked at Yang Ming's watch and couldn't help but ask: "How did you do it? She..."
"Heritage of high-dimensional civilization."
Yang Ming said concisely and concisely: "I can share this secret with you, but I can't tell you how to get to the secret place. This is the part I must reserve."
"Oh," Kolev's eyes sparkled, "you get a huge technological wealth?"
"Not yet, we still need to pass an assessment."
Yang Ming sighed:
"I came into contact with the administrators left behind by the high-dimensional civilization. They are not considered life forms, but I gained a lot of things from them. Ritsu, who was originally No. 2, is now their goddaughter. You'd better not mess with them.
she."
Kolev said: "Tell me in detail! I am very interested in this."
"Unless you agree to help me," Yang Ming's mouth curved slightly, "This is the condition, Kolev."
"Hey! You can't abuse an old man's curiosity like that!"
Kolev gritted his teeth.
Yang Ming showed a winner's expression that said, "I'm going to beat you old guy."
"I don't care!"
Kolev stood up on crutches, pulled the isolation cover transmitter away, and turned towards the door of the restaurant more than ten meters away.
Lu's virtual image appeared in Yang Ming's hand, and he frowned and said, "Boss, if he can't be your assistant, you should erase his memory."
"Don't be so ruthless to my old partner," Yang Ming said, "You can count down to three now."
"Why?"
Lu was a little confused, but she had to obey all Yang Ming's orders, so she still counted down:
"Three, two, one."
Kolev paused and faced the precious oil paintings displayed in front of him.
The old man was silent.
He turned around and looked at Yang Ming carefully for a long time.
"I need to know your next plan, or what goals you want to achieve at this stage," Kolev said calmly, "I don't have much time left, young man, and I don't want to waste my time on
On something meaningless."
Yang Ming thought about it carefully and said slowly: "Our goal is at this stage, or within the five-year period."
"uh-huh?"
"Get a livable administrative star that belongs to me and only to me."
