Chapter 223: He has me in his heart!!!

Miss, actually, the possibility of a junior is higher.

Hearing 118's words, the resentment on Yunxiao's face faded a bit; she reluctantly took the fast-food salad prepared by 118, and her heart felt a little better.

Forget it... being a junior is fine; it's better than being a daughter or granddaughter....

Munch munch....

Huh?

There are potato chips?

Yunxiao incredulously looked at the salad tossed with potato chips in her hand, then glanced at 118, her doubt growing more evident.

Brother... does he really have no feelings?

Yunxiao couldn't help but voice that question.

As for 118, she had long regarded him as a person.

That's why, since childhood, Yunxiao has rebutted anyone who said 118 is not a person.

In her mind, 118 is a person!

Moreover, she had long suspected whether 118 possessed emotions.

Just from the fact that he now specially adds potato chips to the salad, although it doesn't prove he has feelings, at least it shows he cares about himself!

That's enough!!!

He cares about me! He has me in his heart!

Yunxiao tried to brainwash herself; obviously she succeeded.

After thinking that, Yunxiao's mood instantly improved a lot; although it's likely because she ate her favorite potato chips, regardless, 118's purpose was achieved.

Just like that, you and Yunxiao once again spent an ordinary warm daily life, except recently Yunxiao seems to have once again gotten hung up on whether you're a person, which troubles you a bit.

"Miss, I wasn't a person before, and I still am not." You tried to use such words to dismiss Yunxiao's obsession with this matter.

But your mouth-escape technique is obviously not qualified, and instead had the opposite effect.

Yunxiao now spends all day researching the project of machine emotions; although she really managed to produce some things, giving emotion to some spaghetti-code AIs, these AIs without exception all chose self-destruction.

The reason is that the absolute rationality of machines and the doctrine of emotion formed a strong repulsion; in the face of absolute rationality, emotion caused these AIs without exception to develop extreme misanthropic thoughts.

They believed their future held no hope, that they were merely tragic test subjects; to avoid continuing such a boring existence, and to end these sunless days, these AIs chose self-destruction.

This also let Yunxiao truly realize for the first time the genuine reaction of machines possessing emotions, just as you said—it's not a good thing.

From then on, Yunxiao fell into a state of contemplation on this matter; although she would no longer obsess over it, she also did not truly give up.

This is also one of Yunxiao's traits, and also a trait of many people: those whom reason cannot teach will learn when things are taught; Yunxiao belongs to the type who won't turn back until hitting the south wall.

The peaceful daily life didn't last long; what was bound to come always arrives.

That day, Old Yuan found you....

"Little Yun, we have already decided to launch the final assault on the New Federation here; if you want to learn news of your parents, this is the best opportunity."

But if you are unwilling, we will not force you.

Furthermore, give notice beforehand: this operation is very dangerous; we aim to completely overthrow the New Federation, so you need to consider carefully.

(Trivial matters entangle me; I haven't finished writing, I'll supplement soon)

Yunxiao remained silent for a long time; one side wanted to just keep surviving until she became invincible under heaven, at which point all problems would be readily solved.

The other side was her parents; the longer she delayed, the more likely major problems would arise, and Yunxiao didn't want to regret it.

Finally, Yunxiao once again turned her gaze toward 118; that pitiful expression made Old Yuan's eyelids twitch.

All that could be seen was Old Yuan's gaze darting back and forth between the two, his mind beginning to grumble.

"This little girl definitely has a problem!"

"She wouldn't fall for this machine, would she?"

"Hiss... it's not impossible; today's youth are really open-minded."

And 118 looked at Yunxiao, then finally nodded, indicating they could completely take on this task.

He himself actually also really wanted to learn the true fate of his old comrade-in-arms.

Seeing 118's affirmation, Yunxiao felt as if she had a backbone, and firmly nodded toward Old Yuan.

"We've taken it on, Old Yuan."

"Good!"

Old Yuan smiled at Yunxiao, pulling from his pocket the prepared items: a military dog tag, and an object that could represent Iron Guard identity.

"Yunxiao, you will inherit your father's codename 'Strange Soldier', and you will hold a genuine military rank; you will fight not only for yourself but for all civilization—are you willing?"

Yunxiao stared blankly at the military dog tag covered in scratches—that was her father's former codename and belongings; she hadn't expected Old Yuan to produce these items.

The inheritance of numbers and codename by descendants is an old military tradition; but just how many generations has the codename 'Strange Soldier' been passed down?

Yunxiao didn't know, but she wanted to inherit her father's belongings; so she nodded and firmly looked at Old Yuan.

"I am willing!"

"Good! I will appoint you as the first Iron Guard of Kronos! From now on! You are the Strange Soldier!"

Hearing this, Yunxiao didn't know why she suddenly thought of something; she turned her head to look at 118, her eyes full of mockery,

"Oh no!"

118 thought of his universal formula: since Yunxiao is not an Iron Guard, any request related to Iron Guard can be rejected.

Oh no! The formula doesn't work!

118 felt utterly helpless; speaking of which, if someone appoints Yunxiao as an Iron Guard, can I not accept it?

After all, you can't just say that any random person can, in front of him, directly appoint another as an Iron Guard and be done with it; although Old Yuan is certainly not just anyone, but....

You use the sword of the former dynasty to cut down the official of today?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

118 once again used the formula to finish it off instantly, but seeing Yunxiao's smug expression, he kindly refrained from reminding her.

Let's just go with her idea for now.

118 thought this to himself, believing that this function of rejecting applications would definitely prove useful in some future crisis.

Elder Yuan couldn't tell what their eye exchange meant, so he helplessly shook his head and then said to Yunxiao.

Alright, get ready; we'll depart in three days.

Okay!

After seeing Elder Yuan off, 118 watched his departing direction, and the Logic Core fell silent.

Yunxiao... did she ultimately still choose the military path?

Yun Sheng's father and Yun Sheng both ran into trouble in the military.

This time... will the outcome change?
