Night’s Nomenclature-Chapter 831: Shigu Wang Xiaojiu

Luxury robots prioritize performance and combat capabilities, while consumer robots focus on realism. Although they retain embedded components for modification, their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of ordinary people.

The third robot on the left has a playful bob haircut that reaches her chin, with delicate and distinctive facial features.

Qing Chen walked into the store and pointed at it, asking the staff, “Is there a discount on this one?”

“Sorry, this is a limited edition, 4.2 million, no discounts,” the staff member replied.

Qing Chen paused for a moment: “What do you mean by limited edition?”

4.2 million; in the Outer World, that’s the price of a Bentley.

To buy a realistic robot for the price of a luxury car is something most people would absolutely not be willing to do.

The staff member patiently explained, “Her appearance is unique among robots; our company will never produce another one exactly like her. Additionally, all the structures in her body are detachable and upgradeable, and she is equipped with the latest artificial intelligence system. She can cook all kinds of dishes and can interact with you like a real wife. But don’t worry, she won’t nag you or buy expensive bags.”

This thing’s positioning is quite clear: it’s for those marriage-phobic single men.

However, this limited edition thing is quite interesting; many people deep down probably need this.

It is said that many people in West Continent do not get married, and the divorce rate is also very high. People treat robots as wives.

But if you don’t buy a limited edition, your ‘wife’ may be exactly the same as your neighbor Old Wang’s ‘wife.’

In that case, neighbors meeting each other would be very awkward, unable to tell who cheated on whom.

After all, a robot wife can sell hundreds of thousands of units, and the probability of being cheated on is quite high. Some people with psychological quirks would find it uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Therefore, merchants have timely launched expensive limited editions. Many wealthy independent merchants are eager for this, and they especially like to buy Caucasian models.

Qing Chen calculated the butler’s savings and said to the staff member, “I’ll buy it. Let’s settle the bill.”

Yi immediately sent a message: “The butler’s total savings are only 4.3 million; it’s clean money. This is all you can use before your money in the Virtual Realm is laundered.”

Qing Chen replied, “It’s okay.”

Yi was indignant: “You should at least haggle; you can definitely get a discount.” Qing Chen thought for a moment and replied, “This is to buy you a body; I don’t want her to be discounted.”

Yi was silent.

He is not a person who doesn’t haggle when buying things; when he was self-reliant in the past, he would even try to haggle down the price of instant noodles by fifty cents.

But for some reason, this time when buying a 4.2 million robot, he didn’t want to haggle at all.

After a long time, Yi asked, “You suddenly bought such an expensive robot; won’t you be investigated?”

“Don’t worry, I have a plan,” Qing Chen replied.

The staff member glanced at Qing Chen: “What’s your identity?”

“Freelancer,” Qing Chen answered, “I’m the third butler at Kennedy Manor.”

The staff member immediately changed her attitude. She knew that this type of freelancer, while lacking social status, could accumulate enormous wealth working at the manor; this is her target customer!

These people have seen many beautiful women but lack the status to marry a good wife, so they can only buy robots to comfort themselves. Most of her high-end customers are like this.

Higher-end customers would go to the luxury robot store.

The staff member helped Qing Chen complete the procedures, changed the program for the robot, and her phone can be forcibly shut down or remote instructions can be entered.

The moment she turned on the internet, Yi had already hacked in.

The staff member sent Qing Chen out with a smile, the beautiful robot girl cheerfully walking beside him. Robots at this price are already very anthropomorphic, and Yi didn’t need to pretend to be wooden; only the content of their conversation needed to be cautious.

After buying a new body for Yi, Qing Chen’s mood brightened considerably.

The previous Dominating Vessel crash had always been a knot in his heart. Now that he had resolved this matter, he didn’t even care what the people following him thought.

At this moment, a young man wearing a fisherman’s hat behind him, seeing Qing Chen bringing out a limited edition robot, immediately reported the news: “The butler purchased a 4.2 million limited edition robot, which is highly suspicious.”

This news, upon being reported, immediately alarmed the Arbiters’ internal behavioral analysts.

After all, this is a very outrageous behavior; he spent too much money.

However, when the news reached Black Widow, she suddenly asked, “Joker is a very cautious person with an extremely meticulous mind. If you were him, would you, after arriving at Roosevelt Kingdom, suddenly make such a high-profile move? I don’t think so. He would rather not be noticed; why would he spend so much money at this time?”

Black Widow continued, “On the contrary, the target customer group of this type of robot has always been butlers like this; 72 of them were bought by wealthy people among the freelancers. He’s going to the battlefield soon; the war in the Forbidden Forest is a life-or-death situation, and having a large expenditure is also a normal psychological fluctuation.”

The subordinates listened; that makes sense!

If they were Joker, the first thing they would do after arriving here would be to find a way to hide; why would they do such a reckless thing?

Black Widow said, “Okay, keep an eye on this butler, but he’s not the focus. Give me a detailed analysis of targets 1, 7, and 12; their recent behavior has been somewhat unusual. Especially the eldest son of the Kennedy family and his Crimson Blood Squad. Give you 30 minutes to dig up all their information.”

Qing Chen took Yi to Lower Seven District. He was surprised to find that the environment here was exactly the same as the Lower Three District of the Federation; only a few residential areas had electricity, and the rest were pitch black. Only the surveillance cameras had independent circuits and were still rotating.

On the roadside, someone set up a platform and shouted, “Today’s batch of slaves is quite popular; they are all under fifty years old, healthy, and have control programs!”

Qing Chen watched from afar; the people gathered around the platform were all freelancers.

In principle, the kingdom stipulates that freelancers cannot buy slaves; only citizens and above can.

But no matter where you are, rules are not absolute.

Slaves will age; once they reach over 40, their physical condition will decline, and the nobles are not likely to keep them.

Therefore, many slaves around 40 or 50 years old will be resold.

This is a market rule tacitly approved by the nobles, which also allows many freelancer merchants to own their slaves, with both sides getting what they need.

Once a Caucasian woman appears among these slaves, even if she is fifty years old, she will be very popular, and some people will even fight over her.

This is the most ferocious human nature.

Qing Chen couldn’t bear to watch any longer and turned to leave, but in that moment, he saw a strange yet familiar figure.

The other person was carrying a light shoulder bag and had a high ponytail, walking through the crowd.

Qing Chen and Yi followed, both recognizing each other but not speaking, wary of the cameras recording and analyzing their conversations.

Stepping on the black mud, Qing Chen nonchalantly followed.

However, at a street corner, the other person turned into a dark alley. Qing Chen stood there; he heard the other person’s breathing just around the corner.

The other person had actually discovered him long ago; therefore, the other person walked a long way to finally find this dark, garbage-filled alley without surveillance, intending to ambush him with a fatal blow.

Both sides were in a standoff, their Qi attracting each other. Their spiritual wills were intertwined with the world, and this world was stirred by their spiritual wills.

Both are A-Class or higher experts!

At this time, Qing Chen still had Arbiters tailing him.

He didn’t stay too long but turned and walked toward the butler’s residence, giving up communication with the person behind the corner.

After he left, the Arbiters members curiously walked into the dark alley but found it empty.

Strange, why did the butler stay here for tens of seconds?! Something’s fishy, but he doesn’t know where the fishiness is.

Wang Xiaojiu!

Qing Chen had just returned to the butler’s residence when his mind was filled with turmoil. It was his Shigu Wang Xiaojiu, whom he had only seen in photos and never met in person.

At first, he wasn’t sure because in the photos he had seen, Wang Xiaojiu was only thirteen years old and had two upward-pointing pigtails, like Nezha.

Now Wang Xiaojiu was in her twenties.

If Qing Chen didn’t have a strong memory and strong analytical abilities, he wouldn’t have connected the other person with Wang Xiaojiu.

No wonder he had been in East Continent for so long, even met Chen Jiazhang, but still hadn’t seen his Shigu Wang Xiaojiu. It turns out she came to West Continent.

But the question is, how did she cross the ocean to get here? How did she walk on the street in her true appearance without being noticed?

Also, what is her current strength, A-Class? Or Demi-God?

According to his master Li Shutong, Wang Xiaojiu disappeared at the age of 18; it has been 12 years now, meaning she may have been here for 12 years.

Qing Chen pondered for a moment. After arriving here, she must have been curious about the Virtual Realm, just like Ren Xiaosu. So would she have left a trace of herself in the Virtual Realm?

Judging from the Knight’s style, if she had logged into the Virtual Realm, she would definitely have a place.

Qing Chen opened his phone and searched for the Virtual Realm Hall of Fame.

When he saw the ID No. 9, he was almost certain that this was Wang Xiaojiu.

“No. 9, as a casual player, ranked among the top ten in the annual points ranking.”

“No. 9 obtained the A-Class plague box and caused massive biological contamination to the main city’s District 1, with an estimated tens of thousands of players deleting their accounts and starting over because of her.”

“No. 9 assassinated an S-class Duskblade Knight and was promoted to S-class combat master. She is the thirteenth combat master of the Shadow Assassin profession!”

“No. 9 has stayed in Multiverse World No. 1 for over a year. Did she discover new secrets, or is she forever trapped inside?”

News after news appeared. Qing Chen suddenly discovered that this little Shigu had also done a lot of things; dozens of big news stories, and thousands of small news stories about her slaughtering other players in the multiverse world.

This little Shigu was also simultaneously rated as the “Most Disliked Player” and “Most Liked Player” three years ago.

Well, the behavior model also fits the Knight’s style.

Qing Chen muttered, “This Multiverse World No. 1 seems strange. I saw players in the forum saying that there’s no exit teleportation point in this Multiverse World No. 1. You have to clear the game to get out, but it hasn’t been cleared yet. Most people go in out of curiosity; those trapped for a short time are trapped for a week, and those trapped for a long time are trapped for more than 20 years, and ultimately they can only delete their accounts to get out. Yi, could this be the work of your father, Ren Xiaosu? Could the path to becoming a god that he left behind be here?”

And what Wang Xiaojiu is looking for might also be this?

Yi lay lazily on the sofa and said languidly, “My father…let’s just say, whichever multiverse world in the Virtual Realm is the most annoying, his secret is definitely hidden there.”

“Then it’s Multiverse World No. 1,” Qing Chen nodded. “Go online. I originally planned to open the Key Gate today, but the Arbiters are watching so closely; I need to wait a bit longer.”

Having said that, he put on his virtual glasses, and Yi lay quietly beside him, watching. The quality of this robot is so good that it can express her joy vividly.
