"Of course not!"
Coloured Glaze shrieked, covering her burning face. "What are you talking about? There's nothing between me and Big Cat! Grandpa Yao has been staying in the Blue Sky Market recently. Of course, I took the opportunity to ask him about refining. As it happened, Big Cat was training with Grandpa Yao. So, we chatted when we were free! I don't like him at all … Well, it's not that I don't like him. He's a good friend, at least ten thousand times better than Han Te, who is a womanizer right now. But, well, he's so furry. All in all, I don't have that kind of relationship with him at all. Also, why did Master A Boxing Champion ask such a question? Seriously! "
"Two reasons."
A Boxing Champion did not care about the girl's shyness at all. Extending two iron fingers, he said as casually as water, "Firstly, I made a deal with Li Yao. As long as I can protect you and Han Te, he will do everything he can to help me upgrade and even help me become the strongest being in the entire universe.
"So far, the deal has been going very well, and I've benefited greatly from it. Also, I've seen Li Yao's real capability now. I believe that he will be able to provide abundant resources for me incessantly in the future.
"I have no reason to terminate the deal. So, I have to protect you and Han Te.
"As for Han Te, he has made tremendous progress in his training with Boss Bai. At the very least, he should be able to protect himself. Also, the guy has no sense of shame at all. From a mental point of view, he is like an unkillable cockroach. I don't need to worry that he will suffer too much physical or mental damage for now.
"Miss Coloured Glaze, on the other hand, is different. You are not a battle-type trainer, and your mind is much more vulnerable than his. Right now, according to my test result, you are suffering from continuous mental trauma. According to the deal that Li Yao and I reached, I have to treat and protect your mind so that you won't be troubled or hurt again.
"Secondly, and more importantly, you have become my personal assistant for maintenance and upgrading. It is not a very technical position, but it requires a 100% understanding of my body and even the operation mode of data. In other words, there must be absolute trust between us.
"This kind of position is too difficult to nurture. Seeing that you're doing well, I don't want to waste time nurturing another one. Do you understand? You're irreplaceable.
"Since that's the case, I hope that you can put in 100%. You must not let your psychological problems affect the most important work and weaken my combat strength. Even if you weaken my combat strength by only 1% because of your unstable performance, it may lead to disastrous consequences. Do you understand?"
Coloured Glaze was stunned. She then looked at A Boxing Champion's open iron skull and the chip integrated circuit board that she had burnt into a mess. Her cheeks turned even redder as she said in a low voice, "Got it, Mr. A Boxing Champion. I'm sorry. It's all my fault."
"It's not your fault, it's just your fault. It's a fault caused by the abnormal secretion of hormones in your body."
A Boxing Champion said considerately, "All delicate creatures and machines have faults. Even I have faults all the time. Faults are not terrible. Don't cover them. Don't avoid them. Just face them, analyze them, and fix them with rationality and calmness. Then, which one do you prefer, Han Te or Li Jialing?"
"Why are we still dwelling on such a question?"
Coloured Glaze bit her lips softly and drew on the ground with her toes subconsciously. Thinking for a long time, she said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't like either of them. Han Te is too hot and crazy, and Big Cat is too cold and arrogant. All in all, I feel that they haven't learned to restrain their feelings yet. That's to say … that's to say, they're too immature!"
"Okay."
A Boxing Champion said, "You like mature men, for example?"
"For example …"
Coloured Glaze was even more embarrassed. She lowered her head and said, "The kind of man that I can absolutely trust and who will certainly protect me, like Grandpa Yao."
"Huh?"
Coloured Glaze bulged her eyes. "What is Master A Boxing Champion doing? Why did you consume so much computational ability? What complicated problem are you calculating?"
"I'm calculating the possibility and the risk of asking Li Yao to come over and exchange genetic information with you."
A Boxing Champion was silent for a long time. Then he said, "I'm sorry, but my combat ability is not necessarily higher than Li Yao's. It's barely possible for me to capture him. Also, I'm told that his wife is known as the best expert at the edge of the cosmos. If I really do that, I'm afraid that you will be in great danger, which is not in line with my original purpose of protecting you. So, is there a second candidate who can restore peace of mind for you?"
"Aiya, aiya, aiya!"
Coloured Glaze stomped her feet in fury. "Master A Boxing Champion, what are you talking about? It's just an example. I'm talking about someone that we're most familiar with. It's not like I have to pick someone who is as mature as Grandpa Yao. At the very least, he has to be tall, strong, and handsome!"
"Okay …"
A Boxing Champion thought for 0.1 seconds and nodded. "Then, Li Yao is indeed not very suitable."
"Master A Boxing Champion."
Coloured Glaze tried to hold it back, but she finally couldn't help it. "Why are you asking such a difficult question? Have you never been in love before?"
"Yes, and no."
A Boxing Champion said, "I haven't experienced it in person, but I've just stored a lot of literary works about love and research works on physiology and psychology. I've read all the data. My theoretical experience is definitely abundant. So, trust me, Miss Coloured Glaze, I will certainly be able to cure your trauma so that you can devote yourself to your work."
"What are you talking about? Love does not need theories but practice! Practice!"
Coloured Glaze and A Boxing Champion had been together for almost a year. In front of the cold iron, she gradually grew bolder. "All in all, please do not worry about me, Master A Boxing Champion. I, Coloured Glaze, am not such a fragile woman. I grew up in the perilous, perilous Land of Sins, too!
"I am like the Gold Barley in the Land of Sins. I seem small and inconspicuous, but I am actually very strong and resistant to cold. Hahahaha!
"I don't have to have a man to survive. So what if I don't have a man? I can still live a good life on my own. I can still carry out my dreams and live a happy life!
"I can treat my wounds on my own. I can face everything on my own. 'Master Han Te' can go to hell!
"Besides, don't I still have Master A Boxing Champion? Master A Boxing Champion will always protect me, won't he?"
The girl's face was as changeable as the weather in June. She had been embarrassed and angry a moment ago, but she was now refreshed and approached A Boxing Champion with a smile.
"That's not right."
A Boxing Champion, however, ignored the girl's smile cruelly. "First of all, my protection for you is conditional, which is the deal between me and Li Yao. Of course, if your maintenance skills can continue to improve and your compatibility with me is higher and higher, which will significantly improve the efficiency of my maintenance and upgrade, for my own survival, I will continue to protect you even if the deal is canceled.
"Secondly, even if I want to protect you all the time, I am afraid that I will not be able to live 'forever'. I will be destroyed one day.
"Therefore, in any case, I cannot protect you forever. The best I can do is to protect you until the moment of my destruction. Please understand, Miss Coloured Glaze."
"… Did nobody tell you that you talk in a weird way, Master A Boxing Champion?"
Coloured Glaze frowned. "Also, you talk normally to other people, but why are you so weird when you talk to me?"
"That's because this is the real me."
A Boxing Champion said, "I talk to other people with simulated language logic, but if I do this for a long time, it will cause data overflow and system redundancy, so I have to clean it regularly. There are no outsiders here, and I like this simple and precise way of speaking."
"It's so weird. I haven't met many ghosts, but Master A Boxing Champion is the weirdest one."
Coloured Glaze rubbed her nose and carefully scanned A Boxing Champion's crystal processor. "It seems that one of the 'Light Arrow 4' chips has been burned. I'll go find another one."
Coloured Glaze skipped out of the maintenance workshop and was about to walk to the sealed and temperature-controlled storage room, when she was shocked by the figure leaning against the door.
"Han Te?"
Coloured Glaze's smile immediately disappeared. She frowned and said, "What are you doing here? Don't you need to accompany your big sister?"
"I'm sorry, Coloured Glaze. It's my fault."
The moment Han Te saw that Coloured Glaze was coming out, he immediately put on a very sincere expression and bowed at Coloured Glaze ninety degrees. "I've thought for a long time. I've been too absurd, shameless, and hilarious in the past half year. I don't know why I've become like this, either. Maybe it's because the outside world is too bizarre, and our hometown is too boring. All in all, I'm not looking for excuses for myself. I just want to say that I'm sorry to you sincerely.
"I'm sorry, Coloured Glaze. Can you forgive me?"
"Well …"
Coloured Glaze was dazed for a moment.
There was no telling how long it had been since she last saw Han Te so serious and pure. It reminded her of the hard but simple life in the Land of Sins.
In a trance, she was about to say yes when she vaguely felt that something was not right. Staring at 'Han Te' for a long time, Coloured Glaze summoned her courage to extend her finger and poked at 'Han Te's forehead.
Her finger pierced into 'Han Te's forehead easily. It was not until the first knuckle of her finger completely entered that she felt coldness and hardness.
Without a doubt, it was not a real human being but a puppet that had disguised itself as Han Te with light and shadow.
"Ahhh!"
Coloured Glaze stepped back and shrieked.
"What's wrong?"
The iron puppet immediately canceled its disguise and turned from 'Han Te' into a bald and cold appearance. But at a loss, it uttered the voice of A Boxing Champion. "What's the problem?"
"What — What's the problem?"
Coloured Glaze was almost crying. Pointing at A Boxing Champion, she asked in a shivering voice, "Was it you, Master A Boxing Champion?"
"Yes."
