The Mechanic - Chapter 76

[Chapter 76 The New God (5)]

Zhang Xun now hopes that when they stole the North American server, they can also bring back Eden’s instruction manual.

Although the manual is probably longer than Leo Tolstoy’s collection…

Zhang Xun searched the bookshelf all morning, and actually found a few books that could be used. What about “Reading His Heart: 100 Taboos in Dating”, “Advanced Handbook for Rookies in Love”, “The Art of Seduction”, “Capturing Your Male God in 30 Days”, etc…

Zhang Xun seriously doubted, So many “colorful” books that teach people to fall in love are deliberately placed here by Adam…

Even though his heart is full of disgust for these vulgar titles, in order for Adam to help him protect his father and James, he still has to take out The spirit of tireless and rigorous scholarship comes from the study of machinery. He found a notebook and a pen on the desk, opened the first book and read quickly, taking notes as he read.

It’s a pity that he has to study these family-like routines at a young age…

The result is beyond his expectations. Judging from the content written in these books, falling in love turns out to be a very complicated one. Both parties guess what the other party wants, but neither can tell the other party nor let the other party know what they want, but also find ways to hint the other party what they want. , A very difficult interpersonal process to avoid all kinds of inexplicable minefields and read a series of “hints” that seem to have no logical connection.

And quite a few of these books seem to have been written for heterosexuals two hundred years ago. Zhang Xun is not sure if it can be applied to him and Adam… and since he is locked in this room, the props he can use are really limited, and the option of buying jewelry for Adam can be thrown directly into the trash…

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Xun could not think of anything that Adam would like. His appearance is okay, but at Adam’s level, he can find better; his mechanical knowledge is rich, but not rich enough to be comparable to Adam’s; his character is old-fashioned and boring, and now think about it except for the last day of lover In 2009, he and Adam had never even dated; he was now a prisoner, without power or money, and even his life depended on Adam’s “reward”.

In this way, Adam used to “like” himself, mostly because he was his administrator. The most effective survival strategy for an AI is to develop an intimate relationship with its own administrators.

But what game is Adam playing now?

But there is no way, if Adam wants to play, he can only play with him.

Zhang Xun tentatively walked to the door and knocked on it. The guard’s cold and cautious voice actually came from outside the door, “Is something wrong?”

Zhang Xun asked, “If I need something, can you help me get it?”

After a while, the guard said, “It depends on the situation. Some prohibited items will not work.”

Zhang Xun thought for a while, and handed out the “Romantic Candlelight Dinner Preparation List” he had just copied from the book from the delivery port, “Excuse me.” The

note was taken away, and then There is no more sound. Zhang Xun thought it was over, but he didn’t expect the food delivery port to open again in the evening, and a few things were packed and pushed in.

It seems that Adam really explained, try to meet his needs…

Zhang Xun started busy while reading the book. Pull off the bottom layer of the sheet and throw it on the table as a tablecloth, ask the guards to arrange the takeaway, pour the red wine, and plastic roses (fresh roses are rarely sold anywhere and are very expensive, the guards probably thought it was too far away. ) in a water glass and place in the middle of the table. The candles were not what he thought, two thin birthday cake candles standing pitifully in the middle of the table. Matches and lighters were contraband, and the guards did not bring them to him.

The patchwork “Candlelight Dinner” looked a bit shabby. Zhang Xun was not sure, so he went to the shelf with old records to find some more “emotional” music. The problem is that Zhang Xun is not sure what kind of music can be defined as emotional, and finally chose a jazz record, and spent a long time trying to figure out how to put it on the gramophone.

The book said to wear sexy clothes and dim the lights… Zhang Xun stood in front of the closet for a long time, looking at Yishui’s identical shirts and trousers, and finally gave up and usually just unbuttoned a few buttons on the shirt. open. He looked in the mirror and untied two more…

When Adam came in, what he saw was a room where the light was so weak that it was almost dark. Embarrassed smile, “Good evening…” There was also a languid voice of jazz in the background.

Adam raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Xun stood up hurriedly, not sure why he was so nervous, “Have you eaten dinner?”

Adam said, “No.”

“Uh… let’s eat together?”

Adam walked over to Zhang Xun and sat down with a blank expression. A critical look at the plastic roses and birthday cake candles in the middle of the table. Zhang Xun coughed, and he didn’t know what expression to put on, “Your guard said that lighters are contraband, so there is no way to light candles.”

Adam snorted softly, noncommittal.

Zhang Xun ordered all the things that Adam liked to eat in the past, especially the omelette rice. However, the whole meal was so cold that the red wine could be frozen into ice. Zhang Xun remembered that the book said that they should discuss the common hobbies of the two, but the common hobby of him and Adam was probably building robots? The problem is that this topic is now raised like a hornet’s nest, and it will definitely not work.

“Have you been doing well recently?” Zhang Xun finally asked after racking his brains.

Adam simply said, “It’s alright, at least my head hasn’t bloomed.”

“…” I didn’t expect this to be able to poke pain points…

Adam took the initiative to ask, “What about you? Do you live in the habit?”

Zhang Xun hesitated for a moment. He turned his head, glanced at the one-way mirror, and asked after deliberation, “Is there another room next door?”

“Yes. The observation room.” Adam’s mouth twitched slightly, “Don’t worry, only I can enter.”

Zhang Xun’s face flushed red, “You live next door?”

“Not yet.” Adam put away the faint smile again, “I’m very busy.” He

was busy transforming everyone in Paradise Lost. The brain? Zhang Xun thought a little confusedly. He decided to change the subject, “Are you still in the Lab? How is Pan?”

“Pan is working as usual, without your permission, there is no way to modify some of its core parameters. But there is no major problem yet.”

Why modify the core parameter? Does Adam want to develop any new features? Zhang Xun wanted to ask some more questions, but Adam stopped answering. Probably because he knew that he was inquiring about news, his face became even colder.

At the end of an embarrassing dinner, Zhang Xun asked tentatively, “Want to… watch a movie together?”

Given that Adam had been cooperative before, Zhang Xun originally thought he would agree. Unexpectedly, Adam just picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth gracefully, “No, I’m still busy.” Then he stood up and walked towards the door.

Zhang Xun stared at him blankly, the feeling of loss filled his chest like a fog barrier.

When the door was opened, Adam’s footsteps paused slightly, “I’ll give you a hint. It’s impossible to increase our intimacy just by copying those vulgar routines.”

With a bang, the door closed emotionally.

For the next two days, Zhang Xun tried various methods. 36 questions about what makes strangers fall in love quickly, what is affectionate staring at each other for three minutes, what is folding a thousand paper cranes and even knitting a scarf… In short, Adam seems to have ten layers of firewalls and is invulnerable. Every time Zhang Xun felt that the atmosphere might be in place, and wanted to further hold hands or give a kiss, Adam would coldly throw him a sentence: The intimacy value is not enough.

Zhang Xun felt that his self-confidence had been hit to the point where there was no ash left.

He was depressed and anxious at the same time. If the round table wants to attack his father, he doesn’t know what strategy he will take. His father had a high prestige in the army, and they would definitely pour dirty water on him first…and the dirty water was probably themselves.

Zhang Shuo has always attached great importance to his reputation, and Zhang Xun never wanted his father to fail

at the end of the festival. He pondered seriously what the rules of Adam’s game were. Obviously Adam has been affected by a considerable degree of human nature, even if Zhang Xun became his obstacle, and even tried to eliminate him, he still did not kill Zhang Xun. Even the imprisonment guarantees Zhang Xun’s quality of life to the greatest extent, and the way of revenge is very strange… It’s a bit like changing roles on purpose… It

can be seen that Adam still has feelings for himself, just because of their differences and conflicts. Mutual deception and mutual destruction have consumed a lot.

If you want to “increase intimacy”, do you want to do what Adam did?

Zhang Xun began to recall, when was the first time he felt a throbbing in his heart when he faced Adam?

It seemed like… Adam helplessly grabbed the collar of his shirt in horror during the bombing and held him tightly…

the feeling of being needed… A

light bulb in Zhang Xun’s mind suddenly lit up. It’s hard to say whether this move will work, because it’s not in the love manuals he’s read. But the general means are useless anyway, so only a little more radical method can be used.

He took a deep breath, twisted the hot water into ice water, and squatted in the bathtub for 20 minutes…

Fortunately, not long after he was discharged from the hospital, his body was still weak. Otherwise, one flush of cold water may not be enough… In order to add more firewood to the fire, he turned off the electric fireplace when he went to bed at night, kicked the quilt to the ground, and slept naked all night.

The next day before I opened my eyes, I felt my throat hurt so badly, my eyelids were too heavy to open, my head was patted with a brick, and it hurt when I jumped. The exhaled air was hot as if it had become a fire-breathing dragon, but his body was as cold as falling into an ice cave, and he shivered.

He managed to get a fever.

So that night, Adam was a little surprised when he entered the door. The whole room was pitch black, as if there was no sign of anyone moving.

The guard sent a letter just now, saying that Zhang Xun had not eaten much for a day. So Adam left the Lab early to see if anything happened. As soon as he entered the door, it was like this, which made him feel a little flustered.

“Zhang Xun?”

A weak moan came from a dark corner of the room.

Adam turned on all the lights immediately, and saw a piece of the quilt on the bed bulging out in the dim yellow light. He hurried over, only to see Zhang Xun’s cheeks burning with an unnatural blush, curled up like a shrimp, his eyes opened a slit, and he didn’t know whether he was awake or vaguely staring at him, his expression slightly blank.

Adam’s face changed suddenly, and it took less than 0.1 second to go from calm to panic. He reached out and probed Zhang Xun’s forehead, and quickly estimated that Zhang Xun’s body temperature was around 39 degrees Celsius, a very dangerous temperature value, and if it rose further, it might even damage the brain. Adam was about to get up immediately to get the antipyretic injection, but the corner of his clothes was suddenly pulled.

Adam turned his head, only to see Zhang Xun, who was in contrast to his usual demeanor of a serious old cadre, and looked extremely weak when huddled under the quilt. He stared at him with a pair of misty eyes, opened his dry lips, and used a hoarse voice to stare at him. The nasal voice, which seemed aggrieved, said, “Don’t go…”

At that moment, Adam, who was only one year old, finally deeply realized that if the heart of his body was not artificial but a real heart, he said Maybe it’s really like what’s written in literature: it will melt away.

The author has something to say: Recently, I often stay up late at night, which makes my body a little bit unbearable… So I took a rest yesterday to make up for a night’s sleep…
