Chapter 83: Lucky Bag

~8 min read 1,401 words

Watching Xiao Qing fall into a deep sleep.

Cheng Feng summoned the Panmian that only he could see.

Cheng Feng had originally thought that in his "More Children More Blessings" talent, "More Blessings" meant Fortune Points.

But looking at the new name that appeared at the bottom of the Panmian, Cheng Feng had a premonition; perhaps, this was the true meaning of "More Children More Blessings"?

Name: Cheng Feng

Lifespan: 17 (80)

Talent: More Children More Blessings

Skills: Fishing (Proficient 90/100)+

Archery (Beginner 12/100)+

Basic Blade Technique (Proficient 130/200)+

Thunderous Blood-Burst Art (Beginner 12/500)+

Fortune Point: 1

Lucky Bag: 1

Cheng Feng understood the origin of the one Fortune Point, but the suddenly appearing Lucky Bag left him somewhat bewildered.

How does one click this Lucky Bag?

There is no instruction manual!

Looking at Xiao Qing lying on him, Cheng Feng tiptoed out of the room and whispered, "I'm going out to relieve myself, you get some good rest."

After speaking, regardless of whether Xiao Qing heard him or not, he took advantage of the moonlight and walked straight toward the guest room opposite.

The guest rooms in the Outer Courtyard had also been tidied up by the two maids, Chun Yu and Xia He; they were clean and had bedding.

Carefully closing the door, Cheng Feng sat on the bed and considered it for a while, finally gathering the courage to click on the Lucky Bag with his thoughts.

The Lucky Bag went from small to large, occupying most of the Panmian, then spun around like a roulette wheel. After waiting for three seconds, the Lucky Bag opened, and a card featuring the Terminator from his past life flew out. The card was the size of a playing card, and as if it had traversed space, losing any illusory distinction, it landed gracefully in Cheng Feng's hand.

Cheng Feng was silent: "So, what is the use of this?"

Cheng Feng looked at the "Terminator" card again; it lay quietly in his palm, as if possessing endless secrets and power.

His heart was filled with doubt and curiosity; what kind of card was this, exactly? And what kind of changes could it bring him?

Cheng Feng gently stroked the card, feeling the strange texture it brought. The pattern on the card seemed to come alive, flowing with mysterious light.

He closed his eyes, trying to feel the information contained within the card with his heart.

As if the card had received the information Cheng Feng wanted to know, the T-800, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger on the card cover, appeared directly in front of Cheng Feng.

And the card itself dissipated without a trace.

The tall figure with Schwarzenegger's simulated skin almost blocked out all the light in the room.

Cheng Feng stepped back in shock, his heartbeat accelerating instantly, but then it stabilized.

The T-800's cold expression, those red optical sensors seemed to be examining Cheng Feng. But Cheng Feng did not feel fear; instead, an inexplicable sense of intimacy welled up in his heart, as if there were some profound connection between them.

"This is the Lucky Bag?" Cheng Feng tried to make his voice sound calm.

"Holy crap, this TM is a robot! A robot from the movies! Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap."

The triple "holy crap" could not suppress the shock in Cheng Feng's heart.

The T-800 did not answer, just standing there silently without clothes. But Cheng Feng could feel that his very existence was an answer.

Looking at the T-800's muscles, then thinking about the mechanical, silver-sheened metal inside, Cheng Feng was excited just thinking about it; from now on, this is my own robot.

Following the feeling in his mind, Cheng Feng tried to say: "From now on, you will be called Ba Bai."

The muscular robot in front of him replied in a metallic voice: "Information recorded; from now on, I will be called Ba Bai."

"Brother, that's awesome! You're speaking Great Zhou language!" Cheng Feng exclaimed.

Ba Bai answered honestly: "Information related to the Great Zhou, absorbed from the master's mind, has been fully uploaded to the core chip storage."

Cheng Feng asked in surprise: "Are you still connected to Skynet? Will Skynet send people over in the future?"

Cheng Feng did not want a Skynet to travel through time and space to kill him.

A glimmer of light flashed in Ba Bai's metallic eyes, as if he were querying something: "The information database shows that Ba Bai's only master is Cheng Feng; soul bound, underlying logical thinking activated, underlying algorithms activated, underlying learning input activated, underlying language activated... underlying modes all activated. As for Skynet, Master, I have no information storage here; I do not know what Skynet is."

Watching Ba Bai say a whole lot, only to say he knew nothing, Cheng Feng did not know whether to be relieved or helpless.

However, from the moment Ba Bai said the soul was bound, all kinds of information about Ba Bai was already clear in Cheng Feng's mind.

Looking at the information in his mind, Cheng Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Ba Bai belonged only to Cheng Feng; it was a permanent binding at the soul level, would never betray him, would absolutely obey commands, and could learn and react quickly. This was equivalent to an initialized robot. The simulated skin made Ba Bai just like a human; he could bleed and cry, and had all basic functions. How he would develop in the future depended on Cheng Feng's arrangements.

Furthermore, the point Cheng Feng valued most was that Ba Bai could upgrade autonomously, but it required metal harder and more conductive than the titanium alloy used to smelt him for Ba Bai to absorb.

The power source was various forms of energy, such as light energy, wind energy, and fire energy, all of which were acceptable, but they all had upper limits. If excessive energy was absorbed, it might overload and break.

This prevented Cheng Feng from using Ba Bai as an energy collector.

In the days that followed, Cheng Feng began to teach Ba Bai how to adapt to human society, how to communicate with humans, at least starting with dyeing his hair, wearing clothes, using a human voice instead of a metallic one, and human behavioral rules.

Although Ba Bai was a robot, he had learning and adaptation abilities that surpassed ordinary people. He quickly learned human language patterns and began to try to communicate more deeply with Cheng Feng.

In this process, Cheng Feng also gradually discovered Ba Bai's uniqueness. He was not only immensely strong but also possessed extremely high intelligence and judgment.

Cheng Feng even felt that if Ba Bai could practice Martial Dao, he would definitely be a Martial Dao genius.

Unfortunately, he was just a robot.

As for upgrading, Cheng Feng really did not know if the Great Zhou had any metal that could meet the criteria of being harder than titanium alloy and having faster conductivity.

Fortunately, Cheng Feng did not need it right now. Cheng Feng had tested it; even he, at the Blood Refining Realm, could not beat Ba Bai in a test of strength, though his speed was slightly worse than the Blood Refining Realm, but it absolutely crushed anyone below the Ordinary Skin Refining Realm.

Cheng Feng felt that Ba Bai was more suitable as a tank or a heavy attacker, wearing armor to fight a hundred alone.

Ba Bai was strong, had no emotions, absorbed energy anytime and anywhere, had almost no restrictions, and had a long battery life. Except for speed, there was nothing Cheng Feng could compare to.

Fortunately, Ba Bai's hair could automatically adjust its color, so there was no need to spend money on hair dye.

Growing out short hair required energy and would take some time.

Aside from his slightly strange face, that burly physique gave Cheng Feng a full sense of security.

Naturally, Cheng Feng had Babai automatically grant permissions to the women in the house, allowing his women to also command Babai a little.

At first, when the women saw Cheng Feng bringing this big man home, they thought something had happened, but later they learned that he was the household's guard, who would live in the gatehouse of the Outer Courtyard from then on to protect the women's safety.

Watching the taciturn Babai, the women gradually accepted him.
