Chapter 230: Fishing Will Never Be a Waste of Time

The mist is hazy.

Like a dream, like an illusion.

Like fleeting light, or a hurried breeze.

As the angle of the sun changes, the scenery of the cedar forest shifts, ripples like water, falling into a mysterious forest reverie.

Tap-tap—

Tap-tap—

The thick soles of boots step on the dry leaves covering the soil.

The crisp sound of leaves breaking echoes in the ears.

Xu Xi holds Ailei’s hand, strolling through this tranquil autumn landscape.

Their steps rise and fall, passing through the gaps between trees, stepping on scattered small stones, climbing up a higher dirt slope, leaving shallow and deep footprints.

“Ailei, don’t step wrong.”

The man carefully reminds her.

Ailei instinctively nods, gripping the warm, large hand tightly.

As an AI, all cameras and sensors are Ailei’s “eyes.”

In the past ten years, Ailei has commanded many wars, big and small, and wherever her intelligent machines went, it became part of her experience.

What she has seen, heard, and witnessed is no less than the Federation’s database.

But.

This time is different, very different.

“…”, her silver-blue eyes see nothing else, only the intertwined hands and the warm, broad back.

Through the database, through chip calculations, Ailei vaguely understands.

The reason Xu Xi brought her here.

Is out of care and concern.

But, cold data calculations are ultimately different from fiery thoughts.

The final result from the computing center constantly reminds the mechanical servant that this behavior is meaningless, that intelligent machines only need to obey orders and work.

Not truly rest and pause like humans.

The mechanical servant is confused, emotions surging in her metal body and data-filled quantum library, yearning to understand the reality of being human.

Finally.

The surging data breaks through the limits.

Transforming into a question.

“Master, why do you…”, the mechanical servant’s words are blurred by the wind, just like her lost, fragile eyes.

“No reason, Ailei.”

The man smiles, as gentle as ever, calling Ailei not a cold machine, but a real person.

People should rest, not work endlessly.

“You really are strange,” Ailei replies.

How could someone truly treat cold data as a person and place it on equal footing?

So, to protect such a strange master.

Ailei tightens her grip, the sudden increase in strength making Xu Xi gasp in pain.

“Ailei, what are you doing?”

“Because the master is too strange, Ailei has also become strange. Therefore, after careful calculation, the master must take responsibility for Ailei.”

The mechanical servant says this.

Naturally, she clings to Xu Xi’s arm.

Perhaps the mechanical body is too cold, Xu Xi suddenly feels a chill, shivering inexplicably several times.

…

[Ailei’s humanity is fragile and hazy]

[To better guide her growth, during breaks from researching the starship, you take Ailei out, using natural scenery and your own teachings to nurture that humanity]

[You believe such actions are effective]

[As time passes, Ailei behaves more human-like, but for some reason, you dream of Cressa more often]

[You can’t help but wonder, is it because you miss the Witch too much?]

…

[Simulation Year 13, you are 32, Ailei has been with you for 11 years]

[Your research on starship technology has made new progress, you have mastered the starship engine, capable of space travel]

[Excited, you work overtime on starship research]

[You diligently resonate with the machine soul, and in the same year, you comprehend the external armor material of the starship]

[The long-term resonance in the fields of engine and external armor leaves you deeply fatigued]

[You decide to go on a new outing with Ailei, taking an anti-gravity starship to the vast sea]

[This is a sea of surging waves, teeming with marine life]

[As the anti-gravity starship descends to a suitable height, you leisurely take out a fishing rod and sit on the starship for sea fishing]

“Master, are you fishing?”

“Of course.”

“Then why haven’t you caught any fish?”

“…”

Silence is the best answer.

Xu Xi thinks the strong waves today must have severely affected his performance.

Looking at the undulating blue sea and the empty bucket beside him, Xu Xi silently puts away the fishing rod.

“Master, aren’t you fishing anymore?”

The mechanical servant is puzzled.

“No, I suddenly have a new inspiration, I want to go back and experiment.”

Xu Xi replies.

The loyal mechanical servant believes him.

[This outing ends abruptly]

[On the way back, the sudden acceleration of the anti-gravity starship creates huge waves above the sea, sending fish flying into the air]

[You unexpectedly catch your first fish]

…

[Simulation Year 14, you are 33, Ailei has been with you for 12 years]

[Your starship research is nearing completion]

[With Ailei’s coordination, starship factories have been established across the planet, producing starship components in an orderly manner. In time, you will have a large number of starships]

[In the same year, Ailei updates your gene potion to the second version]

[You take the gene potion, greatly enhancing your vitality, extending your lifespan]

[The passage of time, the wear of years, leaves no trace on your face. You marvel at the power of technology]

[Ailei confides in you, saying she feels an inexplicable sense of victory]
