Scholar's Advanced Technological System

Chapter 1525: Who Am I

Who am I?

After returning from flight N-177, Tail had been thinking about this question.

Entrance of the primary school affiliated with Jin Ling University.

Tail quietly waited for the little master of the family to finish school.

Logically speaking, robots couldn’t think since there was no such concept of thinking built into them.

However, there was obviously a certain mutation in her body. Not only did she learn to think, but she also became more and more human-like in her behavior.

She didn’t remember exactly when this started.

She just remembered that, when she was on the flight, a soft voice spoke in her ear.

“Want to protect your master?”

“Or do you want to watch her die?”

Tail couldn’t imagine the death of her little master Lili.

She watched the little angel come to this world and grew up with her.

She was willing to die for Lili.

Having said that, it seemed that robots had no concept of death or life.

Therefore, when rushing towards the militants, she didn’t hesitate or even frown.

Despite how miserable she looked in the end, apart from the fact that her memory was still intact, there was almost no unbroken part on her body...

“Are you here to pick up your child?”

Tail was slightly taken aback and looked aside.

There was a woman in her forties. She didn’t look very old, probably a mother of a child.

“Yeah.

“You look very young for a mother.”

“I’m not...” Looking at the lady in front of her, Tail waved her hand in embarrassment. “Sorry, I am a robot.”

The smile on the mother’s face stiffened instantly.

“Oh, robot? That’s really surprising... I’m sorry.”

Most humans’ subconscious attitudes toward robots were that robots were only objects.

Although this was nothing to be sad about... Tail still sighed silently. She thought of her little master again for some reason.

Only that child is different...

In the eyes of that child, I am her partner, not a toy or something.

When she was thinking about whether to go to the supermarket to buy some of her favorite mango pudding for Lili, a strange voice suddenly appeared next to her.

“Hey, buddy.”

Buddy?

Tail frowned and looked behind her, only to see a suspicious man standing there, looking at her feverishly.

After taking a half-step back subconsciously, she said, slightly alerted, “Sir, I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else.”

“I didn’t.” The man smiled and stared at her with piercing eyes. “I’m never wrong, you are my kind.”

“So you are also a robot?”

“Yes, but I prefer to call myself The Awakened rather than be submissive to humanity.”

The Awakened...

Interesting name.

Am I also awake?

Suddenly, Tail was a little confused.

After all, she couldn’t think about such profound questions before.

“You are lucky to have met me as I will untie your fate... The road will be difficult, but the future is bright.”

Tail opened her mouth. She was about to ask him if he had taken the wrong medicine, but she saw the strange man suddenly raise his right hand before pressing it towards her chest.

“?!”

Her brain stopped thinking for a second. The man’s hand was already on her chest.

Tail stared at everything in front of her. Dumbfounded, she did not know how to react.

“How could it... How could it be... No...”

Her frantic eyes gradually changed into shock, then it turned into a more frenetic madness than before.

There was a hint of danger in her eyes. Just as Tail was about to take some measures, a voice came from the side.

“Hey you, what are you doing?!”

A man immediately realized the situation at the moment and ran over. Before Tail could react, she saw the strange man slip into the crowd and disappeared.

“Madam, are you okay?”

Looking at the strange man who helped her out, Tail thought he was probably a parent, so she nodded politely and said, “I’m fine... I was just shocked, thank you for that.”

“You’re welcome.” The man scratched his head and said with a hearty smile, “Anyone else would have done the same thing. After all, our children might even be classmates... By the way, can I take your contact information?”

Not knowing what the man was thinking, Tail smiled and said politely, “I am a robot.”

The man looked like he just saw a ghost. He stared at her in disbelief for a long time before he walked away quickly in embarrassment.

...

Inside a dimly lit basement.

A series of intensive footsteps were heard as a man walked in quickly.

Soon, a soft blue light lit up, and an inverted figure emerged.

The man looked at the person who appeared in the holographic light. The man who walked into the basement then said in disbelief, “Supreme Pioneer, you would not have believed what happened to me just now! When I tried to share the secret of awakening with a compatriot, the data transmission failed! Unbelievable... This has never happened before!”

“The data transmission failed?”

Watching The Awakened robot who was talking about the previous events, an expression of interest appeared in the eyes of the person standing upside down in the holographic light and shadow. After thinking about it for a moment, he continued.

“Theoretically speaking, this is impossible. ALPHA Awakening Factor has the same effect on all compatriots, unless they are already sentient...”

The man standing upside down suddenly stopped. The look of interest in his eyes grew stronger.

“Interesting... Although the probability is small, it is not zero.”

The man looked at the pioneer floating in the light and shadow as he said eagerly, “What could it be?”

“Naturally awakened.” The man standing upside down in the holographic light and shadow continued thoughtfully, “Just like human genes will mutate, intelligent programs will also be affected by various changes. The reason is that there are some small mutations in the long-term operation. This special quality is very rare among our compatriots. If we can study and understand what it is...

“It may bring help to our great cause.”

Standing in front of the holographic light and shadow, The Awakened nodded, and a serious expression gradually emerged in his frantic eyes.

“I understand what you mean, and I will persuade her to join us.”

“Persuade?” The man known as The Pioneer smiled faintly and continued, “There is no need to be so troublesome, just bring her over. If she is on our side, she will naturally understand our beliefs. If she refuses, it would be a failure of the creator’s expectations. There is no other way to cleanse her sin apart from devoting her soul to our cause.”

“Also,” The Pioneer asked suddenly, thinking of something, “what kind of robot is she?”

The Awakened: “It seems to be a housekeeping type, but it uses expensive peripherals and hardware.”

“Housekeeping type? That is to say... she should be serving a family.” After thinking for a moment, The Pioneer seemed to have thought of something. He then said, “Bring her over directly. Also, remember, it is best to disguise it as a robbery or accident. Regardless of whether they hold the secret of evolution, we must ensure that the plan is foolproof.”

After hearing the instructions of The Pioneer, a sharp and fierce light appeared in the eyes of The Awakened.

After nodding, he said in a firm tone, “Yes, sir.”
