I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 34 Nasita, the human-machine, and Farusan, who cares about her disciple.

Farussan and Cole were also enjoying their meal at a stall in the distance.

"Senior Farusan, I really can't eat anymore..." Cole held a half-eaten skewer of grilled meat in his hand, his face full of bitterness. "This is the fifth stall tonight, and I'm really full."

Farusan analyzed carefully, "This is part of the clinical observation. Your sudden cure of Demon Scale Disease will inevitably cause drastic fluctuations in your bodily functions. You consumed so much energy, so you should be very hungry."

Cole: "But I'm really not hungry."

Upon hearing Ke Lai's voice, Chen Bo immediately looked over.

It's Cole and Faroshan.

In fact, when the traveler first met Farusian, she had already been freed from the ruins for several years and was friends with Tinari and Cora.

The traveler was able to meet Farusian, who was also the middleman between Cole and Tinarid.

Chen Bo said to Nasita, "Those two in front are the friends I mentioned. Although Senior Farusan looks young, she is much older than she is, both mentally and physically. She has a somewhat arrogant personality, but she is not a bad person. Cole is a strong yet gentle girl. You can decide for yourself whether or not to reveal your identity."

Nasita, resting her chin on her hand, said, "Such an opportunity to observe humans up close is rare. So, I want to observe them closely as a doll, to learn human expressions and mannerisms. However, how should I behave so as not to arouse suspicion?"

"I'm not very good at pretending."

Chen Bo suggested, "You could act a bit more 'human-machine'."

"What is human-computer interaction?" Nasita asked, puzzled.

"Just speak in a low, clear voice with a fixed rhythm, and try not to have any intonation. Just make it sound very stiff," Chen Bo said. "I will tell the two of them that you are the androids I created."

Naxi Da nodded thoughtfully; this level of imitation was not difficult for her.

Nasita cannot imitate humans, but she can make herself expressionless and rigid.

At this moment, Ke Lai also noticed Chen Bo.

"Anil!" (This is Chen Bo's pseudonym) Ke Lai rushed over as if she had seen a savior. "Are you here to visit the night market too?"

She quickly noticed the little girl next to Chen Bo.

The other person was dressed in exquisite children's clothing and wore black-rimmed glasses. They had a quiet and serene temperament that was refreshing.

"Is this your sister? She's so cute." Resisting the urge to pat her head, Cole asked softly, "Can I hug her?"

Farusan followed along. She felt that this cute girl looked somewhat familiar, at least in terms of her figure.

Chen Bo had already prepared his explanation. He patted Nasita on the shoulder and solemnly introduced, "Let me introduce you to the results of my research these past few days, the culmination of mechanical arts and bio-alchemy technology—a bionic doll, codenamed 'Moon One'."

The moon is a metaphor that Nasita used for herself; later, it would become the sun, hence the creation of the sun series.

"A doll?" Farusan leaned closer, her nostrils flaring slightly. "The texture of this skin, and this life force... You used that alchemical material on the doll?"

Farusan knew why the face looked familiar; it was because Chen Bo had consulted her opinion multiple times during the design process.

I've looked at these blueprints countless times, how could they not look familiar?

Chen Bo nodded: "That's right, Senior Farusan, I was just trying it out. I never expected that kind of material could be used on mechanical dolls."

Nasida also switched to "human-machine mode".

She straightened her back, her eyes slightly vacant, and her voice flat and monotone: "Hello everyone. I am Luna One. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

Cole gaped in astonishment: "It...it can actually talk?"

"Wow, that's amazing! I doubt any of the other students' mechanical creations can talk."

Is this really something a second-grade student could do?

"It can only answer simple questions right now. The built-in logic circuits are still being trained, and it will get smarter and smarter over time," Chen Bo said, making up a story. "It's still a bit stiff when it speaks, but it will get better gradually."

Chen Bo directly applied a patch, so that even if Nasita were to have a normal conversation with him later, it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.

Because they will become smarter and smarter.

Farusan observed carefully and even pinched Narcida's little face, showing great appreciation for the mechanical doll: "With such a delicate touch, if you didn't tell me, I'm afraid no one would be able to tell that this is a mechanical doll. Anil, your talent in bio-alchemy is even more amazing than I imagined."

"However, I can't teach you much about bioalchemy."

Chen Bo scratched the back of his head and said, "Senior Farusan, you have already helped me a lot."

Cole crouched down, looking Nasita in the eye: "Lunar One, can I hug you?"

Chen Bo didn't answer, but instead asked through his consciousness in the virtual terminal, "Nassida, would you like to experience a human embrace?"

"Humanity's definition of 'cute' seems to include a strong desire for physical contact," Narcida's voice echoed in Chen Bo's ears through the void. "However, I don't dislike this feeling. Okay."

So Nasita replied, "Okay--"

Kolai carefully opened his arms and pulled Nasita into his embrace.

"So soft, and it's still warm!" Cole exclaimed. "Anil, how did you do that? Isn't this a living, breathing little girl?"

Nasita, perched on Cole's shoulder, whispered in Chen Bo's ear through the void, "Humans really have an uncontrollable passion for cute things."

Chen Bo also used the void to communicate with Nasita using his consciousness: "However, only a portion of humans have an almost obsessive love for cute things, while another portion of humans are indifferent to cute things."

Nasita asked, "Then, which one are you?"

Chen Bo said, "Of course I like cute things. The way you look right now is incredibly attractive to anyone who loves cute things."

When Cole became close to Nasita,

Faroshan, on the other hand, was concerned about Chen Bo's health.

"Anil, don't take this lightly. Although Cole's test results are all normal, you've fused with more material than she has. If this self-healing ability has side effects, such as shortening lifespan, it will be too late to regret it."

"Also, although your injuries are healing very quickly now, you should try to avoid getting hurt and avoid using that kind of power. This is very important."

Chen Bo listened attentively: "Don't worry, senior, I will take good care of my body. I will never do something like cutting open a body to demonstrate again."

It feels good to have someone care about you.
