20: Chapter 20 Mountain and River Scripture 20: Chapter 20 Mountain and River Scripture Qianlong Robots are divided into three main categories. The first category, A-type robots, are combat robots that perform various combat missions, such as hand-to-hand combat, gunfights, street battles, field battles, etc. Their shells are incredibly hard, they are implanted with the best combat neurons, and they do not necessarily have a human form, but they are fierce in battle. However, this fierceness is only relative to ordinary people, as in front of genetic masters, the reaction of robots is ultimately slower and the materials are not particularly robust. Therefore, at present, they are only used in conventional warfare and cannot be elevated to high-level combat. The second category, B-type robots, like little Luo, know various knowledge, can cook, do laundry, make soup, and are proficient in all art forms—they are excellent servant templates. Under special circumstances, they can also shield their owner from bullets—note, this shielding is very formal. The third category of robots is the C-type, which performs specific tasks. These tasks are singular, and functions are limited, such as diving robots or mine sweeping robots... In the Qianlong dictionary, there is actually no fourth category of E-type robots. The representative brand of E-type robots is “Catwoman,” addressing people’s entertainment and physiological issues, which falls into the commercial category, and anyone can place an order online. Qianlong does not specialize in manufacturing these. Because Qianlong people have generally moved beyond low-level tastes. However, if someone really retains such low-level tastes and insists on carrying out such modifications for their close associates, for the engineers, it is a very simple minor surgery—dig a hole, add some gel, implant some neurons, and integrate humming noises into the sound system, isn’t that it? What’s the big deal? Your application can basically be approved. Yet, among the 101 people, no one has really made such a request; people do have some pride... Lin Xiaosu looked at those images in the void that needed to be censored, looked at the innocent eyes of little Luo in front of him, felt somewhat embarrassed, and decided to leave and continue reading in the library. At midnight, Lin Xiaosu held a book, lost in thought. This book is called “Mountain and River Scripture,” which records various ancient myths, all kinds of strange creatures, totaling 360 strange objects and 360 exotic beasts. Section 78 of “Mountain and River Scripture” records a large bird called “Kong gu.” This bird is a hundred zhang long with a wingspan of three hundred zhang, claws with three digits, capable of splitting mountains and cleaving rocks, with three bright red scales on its forehead... The book is clearly very old, its pages yellowed, thread bound, and its writing is not printed but manually written. From the content alone, an undoubted myth. However, an image emerged in Lin Xiaosu’s mind, which was incredibly chilling... It was the second time he stayed overnight at Liu Lin Temple during the Ecliptic change day, through the Heavenly Window, he saw a scene: a giant bird flying over high mountains and rivers, heading towards that ancient stele; the bird was incomparably huge with three striking, bright red scales on its forehead... “Why don’t you file an application if you want to add functions to little Luo? If you dare to apply, I truly dare to approve!” a voice came, accompanied by a faint fragrance. Lin Xiaosu nearly jumped: “Dammit! Is there no privacy at all, you know about this too?” Behind him was Chang Ye, who softly chuckled, “Don’t you know the robot is networked? As long as my authorization is higher than yours, I know everything you do with it.” Lin Xiaosu threw his head back: “I really have to be glad that I am a righteous gentleman; otherwise, I’d embarrass myself all the way to Qianlong Headquarters!” “A righteous gentleman and yet you inquire about ultimate functions?” Chang Ye laughed softly, “What are you doing? Hmm, reading mythology stories, which is good, very vivid and vivid...” “What do you think about these mythology stories?” A hint of brightness flashed in Lin Xiaosu’s eyes. “How else to view mythology stories? You have to admire the author’s wildly imaginative, but the story is too fragmented to even be called a story.” Chang Ye has of course read the book as well. “Is it possible... that it’s not just a mythology story?” Lin Xiaosu said. “If it isn’t a mythology story, then what is it?” Chang Ye asked. “For instance... recordings from some parallel world.” Chang Ye stared at him for a long time, then suddenly smiled broadly: “You are late, if you had come a decade earlier, perhaps you could meet someone who could have spun an infinitely lively discussion on this topic with you, but unfortunately, he’s no longer here.” “Who is it?” “A blind old Taoist who lived here for ten years, leaving this book behind. When I first joined Qianlong, I met him; he would start talking to me in detail, speaking of truly fantastic ideas, but unfortunately, I had no time to chat with him, hence couldn’t enter the world he spoke of...” “What was his name?” “His surname was Lu; I really don’t know his full name, he was invited by Xinyue’s grandfather and wasn’t originally from Qianlong.” Surname Lu! Lu Yun?! Lin Xiaosu’s heart skipped a beat: “Can I meet Xinyue’s grandfather?” Chang Ye sighed softly: “You are late again! This time by eight years!” Eight years ago, for the “Trojan Horse Project,” he went far to Luoba State to “assist” the enemy state in improving its genetic program, leading the enemy’s genetic program astray. After being uncovered by the enemy, his head was chopped off and sent back to his hometown... When he left Qianlong, worried about ten-year-old Xinyue, he asked the organization to take care of this martyr’s orphan and also enlisted Chang Ye to look after her. So, Xinyue grew up in Qianlong. So, she and Chang Ye became as close as siblings. Speaking of the head that traveled across oceans to return to its homeland, Chang Ye felt somewhat sad; being in Qianlong, she was used to seeing the sacrifices of her comrades, but every time she saw a new sacrifice, she also felt sorrow... “Venturing to foreign countries, executing top-secret missions, only the head returns home, while the body remains elsewhere, one can only say, generations of Qianlong people truly command respect!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Have you figured out what the ultimate goal of that Taoist named Lu was for coming to Qianlong?” “I’ve vaguely heard a term, it’s called giving a warning, but what warning it was, I don’t know.” Warning! Waves of turmoil surged in Lin Xiaosu’s heart. He knew! Everything became clear! Taoist Lu Yun had walked the same path he once did; he felt that the Ancient Great World was about to return, so he had informed his uncle at Liu Lin Temple, but informing his uncle was useless, his uncle was just an ordinary person, what good would believing him do? Thus, he sought out Qianlong, the most powerful organization in this world. He warned Qianlong! Hoping to gain Qianlong’s attention, thus preparing a response plan in advance. Whether Qianlong took it seriously, he did not know. Whether Qianlong had a response plan, he did not know either. But this Taoist Lu, he did everything he was supposed to do... “Where could he go next?” Lin Xiaosu said, “Don’t you have a system that can locate people all over the world? Can you find him?” “I’ve told you already, for this system to find someone, there is a major premise: they must be registered, have a signal source on them, or have appeared under a camera; and he, after leaving Qianlong, has never appeared. Oh, right, before he left, he left a statement... ‘Demon lurks overseas, natives restless at the core, the Ancient Wilderness seeks to break its seal and reemerge, to what end does this generation of civilization aspire?'” “Demon lurks overseas, natives restless at the core, the Ancient Wilderness seeks to break the seal and reemerge... What’s your interpretation of this?” Chang Ye said, “Demon lurks overseas, I understand this: most Western countries have been infiltrated by the Nine Headed Snake, carrying the mantle of the beacon of humanity, yet their actions are worse than robbers, completely corrupt from top to bottom, indeed this generation’s civilization faces a great threat. But as for natives and the Ancient Wilderness, no one knows...” Suddenly, her voice abruptly stopped. Because a tall figure appeared at the library door. This person strode forward, emanating a strong aura of stern killing intent, heading directly towards Lin Xiaosu. Lin Xiaosu raised his eyes to meet his gaze, at that moment, Lin Xiaosu felt, this person must have killed many, as there was an aura of killing about him, it felt a bit mystical... “This is Qianlong No. 88!” Chang Ye said. Lin Xiaosu stood up, scratching his head: “Should I perform a salutation?” No. 88’s stern and serious expression softened slightly with his words, a slight smile squeezing onto his face: “You’re not officially Qianlong yet, no need for salutations, sit, I have something to discuss with you.” He sat down, and Lin Xiaosu casually poured a cup of tea, handing it to him. No. 88 took it, placing it on the table: “Lin Xiaosu, both Chang Ye and I have seen your performance, as examiners, we unanimously agree that you pass the assessment and become Reserve, I’m here today for two purposes, the first, to tell you the basic rules of the Reserve...” He reached out his hand, passing Lin Xiaosu a tablet. Five big characters appeared on the tablet: Reserve Chapter. Reserve, the probationary phase of the Qianlong Gold Medal. Each person receives 100 initial points, contributing merits receives points rewards, violating Qianlong Regulations results in corresponding deductions. The Qianlong Regulations were also displayed in full, totaling three hundred twenty-seven items. Lin Xiaosu quickly flipped through it, then raised his head: “What’s the second purpose?” “The second purpose is an emergent event, you can participate...” Chang Ye looked up: “What emergent event?” No. 88 said: “No. 325 sent information from Lao Mountain yesterday, saying there was a significant discovery, but today... today it’s the agreed time, and no information came, we suspect he’s encountered a problem.” “He is the most meticulous person, never failed to deliver on his word.” Chang Ye was greatly shocked.
