Marvelous Mecha

Chapter 1097: Setting Out


After all, UU at that time could only be considered an introducer; Revenge Shadow Rider was the true main theme of Blood and Passion, the character with the most widespread influence—affecting countries around the world, stirring this era, and consistently embodying Blood and Passion's overarching topic. Today, however, we won't talk about Revenge Shadow Rider; we'll focus on the popular idol UU.

From the perspective of intelligent beings alone, UU's world is backed by countless fan support groups. In this regard, she is successful, UU knows she is successful, people know that UU knows she is successful, and UU knows that people know she knows she is successful. But in truth, her existence's essence is merely that of an intelligent being. Strictly speaking, her status still cannot compare to that of a human.

To put it in simpler terms: if a bad person killed UU, at most, they would face public criticism, be drowned in endless condemnation, but they wouldn't lose political rights or be sentenced to death.

UU's situation is starkly different. If she accidentally killed a human—even if it were a bad person—the consequences for her would be dire. This is akin to killing a protected animal: the animal might be precious, invaluable, even worth more than the life of the person who killed it, but the killer wouldn't be sentenced to death. Yet if the animal killed someone, the only fate awaiting it would be death.

Humans are such selfish and lowly creatures. They care about public opinion and immediate interests, fearing overwhelming condemnation, rather than truly considering the boundaries between species—except on matters of life and death survival, where they might temporarily set aside previous divides. For example, the flourish of Ancient Martial Arts now exists as a calculated choice in tackling bizarre issues.

Evidently, the significance of intelligent beings is as tools. With the progression of time, at some point their ultimate destiny will be altered—either relegated to historical archives or potentially experiencing transformations at that juncture, seizing control or even enslaving humans. However, the likelihood of this is exceedingly slim.

Still, one must not overlook that every intelligent being is an independent entity, possessing even the faintest glimmers of independent consciousness. Apart from lacking Eggy's meticulous computational powers and more autonomous thinking abilities, they are practically no different from humans. Their weight, body temperature, and even bones are built to perfection.

Because of this, when welcoming Zhang Xiaobo and Xiu Yi's squad, each intelligent maid displayed her own distinct style—some spoke, some laughed, some teased, while others played cute, using baby voices to act endearingly. However, despite this, intelligent beings understand their identity, their status, and the boundaries when communicating with humans.

Even the cold and aloof head butler who managed hundreds of intelligent beings was no exception. In daily life, she would strictly reprimand maids who made mistakes, even sometimes resorting to punishment. Yet when facing any human, her usually stern face was always filled with reverence. She fundamentally lacked the possibility of crossing the boundaries of BO Authority—at least under the current circumstances.

Thus, during the reception, the head butler merely instructed the maids to be flawless, striving to treat every person present as if they were gods.

At this moment, Xiu Yi and Kevin, two large boys, faced the maids' thoughtful and enthusiastic hospitality, displaying the typical awkwardness of their age—their faces flushed red. This overwhelming reception style left them somewhat embarrassed.

But in the next second, their voices were interrupted by Zhang Xiaobo. The chubby guy told them that these were all intelligent beings. Of course, intelligent beings are indistinguishable from real humans and could be treated as such, but there was no need to feel awkward over issues like this. As for why? The reasoning was simple.

Chubby explained to Xiu Yi's squad that, while they could regard these beings as real humans, it was precisely because they lived cautiously—yes, merely living cautiously—that when faced with discomfort, one can kindly express that they don't need such treatment. The maids would fully understand.

By the time Chubby finished his explanation, Xiu Yi's squad finally realized the beautiful maids standing before them were actually intelligent beings, not real humans.

It can be said that today's technological advancements cannot be compared to the past. Nowadays, when humans travel or make payments, they have chips embedded under their skin. Some choose to implant chips, but others don't due to personal habits. They believe that once a chip is implanted, the essence of their existence no longer truly belongs to humanity, at least from a certain perspective.

Technology has changed the future and human development. Xiu Yi's squad had also heard various rumors about intelligent beings. It was said that such products could cost at least hundreds of thousands, and as luxury goods, they required significant points from Freedom Bounty Tribe to purchase. They hadn't encountered them in Mardis or any of the major planets they toured.

Of course, maybe they had seen them without realizing, as the resemblance between intelligent beings and humans was practically indistinguishable. After Chubby's explanation, Xiu Yi's squad finally understood that the individuals standing before them were intelligent beings.

They couldn't help but acknowledge that this group consisting of hundreds of intelligent beings was capable of forming an enormous harem. For wealthy shut-in enthusiasts, this seemed like paradise. What surprised everyone was that they hadn't expected to see so many intelligent beings at once—it must have cost a fortune! Though Blade Sister was the big boss of the Combat Power Tester company and the major shareholder responsible for intelligent being development.
