There Is No Afterlife

When Mu Gen came back through the heavy rain, there was a row of large and small stones at the door.

The number of collectibles of Sigma clearly beats the robot z2093.

"...This stone was picked up on a planet called Baluni, and this one is in the sea..." Every stone in Sigma has a story.

Compared with the nanny robot who spends most of its time around the owner's house, Sigma is really a well-informed robot!

"I picked up this stone on the way to buy vegetables. It is next to a flower bed where purple wind flowers are planted. There is only this stone on the whole street." Out.

These stones are just one out of thousands of ordinary stones, yet they have become special treasures thanks to the cherishment of these two robots.

After putting the umbrella in the dryer to dry, Mugen changed his shoes and came in. He said hello to Master Kenda who just came out of the room. He sat next to the two robots. The Youguang screen + eyes all focused on him.

As of this afternoon, Master Kenda has finished making all the parts that do not need to add Fabia and Mika. Mugen’s legal stay in Pendela has been less than seven days, and Master Kenda needs to complete the core parts in these seven days. Fabrication, chip transfer, assembly and final debugging.

If Mugen still didn't bring Fabia and Mika back today, the core part of the robot would have to use a backup plan.

Bringing the bag on the back to the front, Mugen took out the metal ball inside, then raised his head and said to Master Kenda: "I only got this piece of Fabia, Mika..."

Looking apologetically at the robot at home, Mu Gen shook his head.

"This piece of Fabia is enough." Master Kenda immediately estimated its weight after padded with the weight of the metal ball.

As a top craftsman who deals with various metal materials every day, in order to realize Sigma’s design perfectly, Master Kenda also used his own channels to collect Fabia and Mika everywhere in private, but found nothing. In this case, Mu Gen Actually took out Fabia, which was just enough weight, Master Kenda vaguely noticed something, but he didn't say anything.

"It doesn't matter if there is no Mika. I have a red mother-of-pearl stone here. I have stored the bottom material of the box for decades. This time I will use it all for you." Master Kenda finished speaking, and patted Sigma, who was a little unhappy : "Don't worry, without Mika and Fabia, I can still give Sigma the most beautiful thighs and butt."

Sigma raised his head and glanced at Master Kenda. The screen flickered, and he seriously refused: "Isn't the red mother-of-pearl stone Master Kenda's favorite stone?"

As he spoke, he also explained to Mu Gen: "Master Kenda also likes to collect stones, and there are many, many stones in his room."

"Not as pretty as Sigma's stone, though."

Master Kenda was stunned for a moment, and then the always serious old man burst out laughing: "You robot—although my stones are not good-looking, they are all rare metals, and they are... shorter than your stones!"

Master Kenda originally wanted to say "It's worth more than your stone", but he stopped and didn't say this.

"Your robot is very interesting." He sat next to Mu Gen, and suddenly said something.

Mugen tilted his head: "Actually, all robots are very interesting."

He pointed to Master Kenda's robot standing at the base of the wall: "Your robot likes the red polka-dot pattern very much!"

Red polka dots appear almost anywhere in Master Kenda’s house. At first Mu Gen thought it was Master Kenda’s hobby, but later he found out that it was the preference of Master Kenda’s assistant robot.

"Huh?" Master Kenda was taken aback.

Stretching his hand into the backpack again, Mugen took out two stones from it. The blue one was placed in Sigma's collection, and the golden one was placed in the robot z2093's place.

"I didn't find Mika, but today I bought these two stones at the last market and gave them to you as gifts. Don't you like small stones?"

Sigma immediately picked up the blue stone Mugen gave him.After watching it from various angles under the light for a long time, Sigma's gloom flashed a blue wavy line representing happiness again: "Very beautiful."

Robots are just that easy to please.

"This stone is also very... special." The robot z2093 hesitated for a moment, then picked up the stone in front of him.

"Is it a Trenmeisu diamond? This thing is rare!" Master Kenda, who was standing beside him drinking tea, raised his eyebrows.

Although he knew that this thing was priceless, he was not interested in stones that could not be used in machine manufacturing: "The news said that a gambling stone market sold two stones today."

"Well, the bigger one is this one. I opened it this afternoon when I went shopping with my classmates." Mu Gen said honestly.

"...you're lucky." The teacup paused in the air, and Master Kenda said with emotion.

Mu Gen just shook his head: "If you're really lucky, you should find Mika."

Although this stone was rare and precious, it was not what his family needed.After walking through so many markets and still finding nothing, Mu Gen vaguely knew that the stock of Mika this year should have been exhausted, and he probably would not find Mika.

Without Mika, I can only use other methods to make Sigma and the others happy. Fortunately, Sigma likes the stone he gave him very much.

Looking intently at Sigma who was looking at the stone, Mu Gen finally showed his first smile since entering the door.

He heard Sigma make a request to droid z2093: "May I see your stone? In exchange, I will allow you to see mine."

"Okay." Robot z2093 agreed.

Then, the two robots carefully exchanged the stones they got.

After looking at the golden yellow diamond carefully, Sigma returned it to the robot z2093, "It's beautiful, but I still like blue stones."

Then, he happily put away his collection.

The droid z2093 is still a bit stuck.

He imitated Sigma and wanted to put away the stones, but he didn't have the folding storage space of Sigma, there was only one place on the chain, and there was no place to hang new stones after hanging the original stones, so he could only put the stones in the same way as before. The stone was held tightly in his hand.

"Give me your stone and chain, and I'll put them on for you, so as not to hurt the stone." In the end, Master Kenda extended a helping hand with a smile on his face.

The robot z2093 glanced at Mu Gen reflexively, saw him nodding to himself, so he handed the things to Master Kenda kindly, and then——

"..." Master Kenda's smile froze on his face, he looked carefully at the stone of robot z2093, licked it again, and then Master Kenda, whose face changed drastically, ran back with two stones His own studio, before Mu Gen and the others could react, he quickly ran out again.

"God! There is actually a Mika inside this rock!" Holding the stone in his hand, Master Kenda shouted!

"The density is very high! The Mika decomposed from this stone is enough to make the core of all robots! Oh my god! What we are looking for is so close at hand..."

Master Kenda is very excited!However, Mugen interrupted his excitement with just one sentence——

"But, this is the rock of the robot z2093."

Mugen only said a word.

Master Kenda is rarely confused. Even though he admits that robots such as Sigma are interesting, even though he knows that his assistant robots have their own aesthetics, he still thinks that robots are subordinate to humans.For example, the chain of the robot z2093, Master Kenda can understand Mugen's idea of ​​decorating his robot, but he doesn't think the chain and the things on the chain belong to the robot itself.

He didn't see the robot z2093 just picked up by Sigma from the garbage dump, and he didn't hear the reason why the robot z2093 walked off the suspension vehicle by itself.

However, Mu Gen never forgot the moment when the stinky robot z2093 stretched out its mechanical hand towards him, revealing a stone.

"For the stone," he said.

In the silence of Mugen's house and Master Kenda's puzzlement, the robot z2093 came over.

Taking the stone from Master Kenda, he took a closer look, held the stone in his palm, and then walked straight to Mu Gen.

Sitting opposite Mu Gen, the robot z2093 stretched its tightly clenched fingers towards him, revealing the colorful stone.

A familiar scene, but the dialogue has changed.

"Here." The robot z2093 stretched out his palm towards Mu Gen.

"You...it's not because of this stone..." Mu Gen opened his mouth.

Robot z2093 nodded, then extended his hand towards Mugen again.

"It's for your use, I'm very happy."

"Happy" is the word the robot z2093 just learned from Sigma.

It is "very happy" not to be disassembled and sold again;

"Happy" to have a new owner;

It is "very happy" to get the stone given to me by the new owner;

then……

Even if he gave away the only stone he had, he was "very happy".

Mu Gen didn't answer, and the robot z2093 remained in a stalemate in the posture of handing the stone.

"Thank you." Mu Gen finally failed to refuse such a gift.

Then that stone was put into a special solution by Kenda that day, and the originally colorful stone turned into a very crystal clear green after soaking in the solution, and then master Kenda put it into the furnace, six hours later , They got a very perfect green stone, this stone was actually larger than the original volume, and also softer, so soft that it didn't look like a stone at all.

The robot z2093 has been watching the changes of this stone.Watching it gradually reveal such a beautiful appearance in Master Kenda's hands, his screen of phantom also became flickering.

"It really is the most beautiful." Turning his head, the robot z2093 said to Sigma.

"Yeah." Sigma agreed with him.

When Master Kenda made the robot "heart", Mugen and Sigma assembled the bodies of the robots. The green "core" wrapped in thread is so small and delicate that it looks almost like a work of art!

"Your hearts are so beautiful." Robot z2093 said.

Pretty was a word he had just learned.

"Your heart is also very beautiful." Master Kenda just heard this sentence, and said, he pointed to the leftmost heart on the box where the heart was placed: "Fabbia and Mika have extra Yes, I made one for you too, and I will replace it for you when the time comes."

The dim light screen flickered, and the robot z2093 stared at the heart carefully and remained motionless.

One day before leaving Pendela, Master Kenda and Mu Gen turned off all the energy sources of the robots.Their chips would leave their original carrier and be transferred to Master Kenda's newly fabricated "core", and until everything was tuned and they woke up again, the robots would look as if they were dead.

Mu Gen suddenly panicked.

He suddenly remembered the days on the deserted star long, long ago, the days when the robots such as Alpha hadn't found him, his father left, and he was very hungry.

He is the only one left in the world, and he can only talk to himself every day.

In a corner that Master Kenda didn't pay attention to, Mu Gen secretly wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Then, he suddenly heard a "ding—" prompted by the computer. Mu Gen wiped his eyes and raised his head, only to see Alpha who was lying on the table sitting up first.

The twilight screen flashed patterns never seen before, and Alpha's head turned to Mugen's direction.

"I think about a lot of things," he said.

"Mugan, you scored 99 in the second math test. I couldn't remember it before." Like humans, the chips of robots will also wear out, and the worn area will cause their memory loss. When the contents of the hard disk were transferred just now , all the information has been copied to a new carrier, and the originally forgotten memory can be read clearly.Alpha was talking about Mugen’s second math test, probably because his body was damaged when he left Desolate Star. Alpha couldn’t remember the results of that test, although he could make up for it through the notification of his companions, but I can't remember how I felt at the time.

Although it is a small matter, Alpha cares about it very much.

So the tears that Mugen had just wiped could no longer hold back, and like a child, he went over and hugged Alpha tightly.

The robots sat up one by one, and Mugen hugged them one by one.

Then, Mengmeng was the last one to wake up——

"Mengmeng remembered, Olivia even peed the bed once when she was eight years old." Mengmeng next to her also waved her little wings and sat up.

Mugen: Humph!

"Mengmeng still remembered that before Oli was born, Mengmeng had spoken to Mugen, and Olivia's name was given by Mugen."

Mugen: Humph! ! !

"The password for the next issue of Happy Big Ball is 400056999888! Chirp!" Mengmeng continued.

So Mu Gen was completely worried: This is not memory refilling, but memory disorder at all, right?

Picking up Mengmeng's little wings and hugging them, Mu Gen hurriedly took it to Master Kenda for an overhaul.
