Chapter 290: Overheated Core

Actually, during the time when the mechanical heart was sealed before, Dorothy could have forcibly signed a familiar contract, but she thought about it and finally didn't do so.

After all, this mechanical heart was different from Bast or Fafna, which she hatched with her own hands. Zero had already possessed a certain wisdom, and forcibly signing a contract would only intensify the contradictions between each other, leaving hidden dangers in the subsequent getting along.

Dorothy didn't want to be backstabbed by her own familiar in the future. This was too sad, and it didn't conform to her original intention of hoping for family harmony.

Therefore, she prepared to try to persuade Zero to voluntarily sign a contract with her.

Of course, this wasn't easy, and she wasn't very sure about it, and she really wanted Zero as a familiar. After all, that innate aptitude was really too fragrant.

Therefore, in order to achieve her goal, she used a little small means.

Well, actually, it wasn't any very special means, just bringing the mechanical heart directly back to the Witch World.

After all, she knew with her feet that a familiar with such a special innate aptitude couldn't be any ordinary goods. It might be a child of the world, a plane protagonist, etc. This would definitely be paid attention to by the world consciousness of the beast-taming world. Negotiating in the local area with the other party's parents watching, it was really not easy to bluff...

Cough, cough, it's easy for the negotiation to be disturbed by the outside world.

However, after coming to the Witch World, there was no need to worry about this problem, and the mechanical heart was unfamiliar with this strange world. The only one who could barely be considered an acquaintance was her, so negotiating at this time, isn't this a great opportunity to take advantage of the situation?

Tsk, I'm really despicable.

The Home Witch thought so in her heart.

Her conscience ached faintly. After all, strictly speaking, she seemed to have acted as a robber once.

Although that entire beast-taming world was actually her home, she had abducted her own family, and she was originally holding the familiar qualification of the Tribunal when she went, so the procedure was completely legal.

And good birds choose trees to perch on. Following me, this master, has a better future, for Zero's future development...

Ugh, forget it, don't find reasons to wash yourself, it's disgusting.

Legal doesn't necessarily mean moral. This is ultimately an act of bullying the weak. It can fool others, but it's hard to fool one's own heart.

Therefore, she didn't set up a memorial archway. She showed her cards; she was a selfish bad woman.

With a slight dry heave in her heart, Dorothy showed a smile on her face, expressing welcome to the mechanical heart that had just woken up.

"You're finally awake, my new family member."

【Family member? What is that?】

The mechanical heart looked at the opponent who had sealed it not long ago, and then such human common language characters appeared on the virtual screen.

As a mechanical consciousness, it didn't understand the concept of human family members.

【Vocabulary search, family member.】

【Answer, family member refers to family members or related people or things that possess emotions between family members. Based on the definition, I judge that I and your Excellency do not belong to a family member relationship.】

The mechanical heart searched its vocabulary and gave such an answer.

"Not now, but that doesn't mean it won't be in the future. You can't be so rigid. Zero, you have to be flexible in your thinking. You are no longer a simple mechanical creation. As a mechanical life, you can no longer act only according to fixed programs like before. You have to have some subjective initiative."

Dorothy said persuasively.

【Based on analysis, this suggestion is very useful. Thank you for your guidance. I will write this suggestion into the database.】

The mechanical heart rotated a few times, seemingly thinking, and also seemingly nodding. It expressed thanks on the virtual screen.

【And what is Zero? Confusion. jpg】

A confused expression popped up on the virtual screen.

"Of course it's your name. How is it, do you like it? If you don't like it, you can change it."

Dorothy answered while thinking, this mechanical heart's intelligence is a bit high, it seems not easy to bluff, this is a bit troublesome.

【Retrieve vocabulary, name.】

【Result, name is the title of a person, product, object, generally bestowed by close people such as family members, elders, creators.】

【Based on analysis, the original machine number ch000 is not suitable as a name for an independent individual. I do need a name now. Zero, a very suitable name, like.】

【Program loaded, original machine number corrected, Zero.】

【Correction successful.】

【Thank you, I like this name very much, smile. jpg.】

A series of program prompts flashed by, Zero typed to express thanks, and finally attached a smiley face expression.

Although as a newborn mechanical consciousness, its emotional module hadn't been fully constructed, it seemed to like using these expressions when observing those humans chatting on the internet when it was in the factory before, so it judged that chatting with humans attached with some expression packs might be more useful.

"Well, you're welcome. Let's get to know each other again. My name is Dorothy. Zero, welcome to join this new family."

Dorothy subconsciously reached out her hand towards the mechanical heart, and then she realized she had done a stupid thing. The mechanical heart didn't even have hands, so how could she shake hands?

However, Zero didn't give her face at all.

【Create new data, character file, Dorothy】

【Creation successful】

【Correction, Dorothy, I don't want to join your family. Based on analysis, we didn't reach the prerequisite for building a family.】

Zero stated straightforwardly.

"Don't care about those details. Subjective initiative, I told you to decide for yourself, don't always stick to dead programs. How will you deal with others in the future if you are so strictly defensive?"

"And didn't you just say it? A name is a gift from close people. You accepted the name I gave you, doesn't that mean we can be considered a close relationship?"

Dorothy, who was rejected, didn't get angry and continued to say with a smile.

【.....】

Zero was turned around by the words of the scrap witch for a while. Its emotional module hadn't been fully built, and it felt a bit strenuous when dealing with this kind of information.

According to the mechanical program, it judged that this Dorothy should be an enemy and an object that needed to be kept away from, but the newborn emotional module that wasn't complete yet felt that what the other party said didn't seem to have any problems.

And Dorothy, seeing this, naturally wouldn't let go of the opportunity and pursued the victory.

"And this is the Witch World, oh. There are many bad people. Do you know how to live here? Do you have a residence? Do you have Witch Gold Coins?"

【.....】

Zero was silent again.

According to its analysis, it judged that what Dorothy said was all the truth.

"But don't panic. I can help you. Helping each other between family members is a matter of course. Although we had a small misunderstanding before, please rest assured, I have no malice towards you. I want to become close to you and want you to become my family member."

The Home Witch was full of sincerity.

"I, Dorothy, never lie. If you are worried, I can swear. If I harbor malice towards you, then I will be struck by lightning."

She raised her hand and swore.

【.....】

Zero was silent again. It began to calculate crazily, but this kind of emotional analysis that was completely different from the simple and straightforward program analysis in the past was really too difficult for it. For a moment, its core was a bit overheated.

【Based on human heart rate analysis, no trace of Dorothy lying was found. Preliminary judgment is that it can be trusted.】

【Correct Dorothy character file, change to family member.】

... Zero is overheated... ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
