The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 97: barrel robot



"Oh, got it. ◢Щщш.sUimEnG.lā"

After Liu Yinjian reported the news to his employer, all he got was such a bland response.

"Is that all right?" Liu Yinjian couldn't help but make an exception and asked, this reaction is too flat, right?

"Of course, this was originally a task assigned to Lu Cun. Anyway, that guy won't take the risk himself, just wait for his news." Baiyin Yao seemed to be chewing food while talking on the phone, his voice was a bit vague, " Well, don't bother me with such trivial things, I'm eating!"

After all, the opposite party directly hung up the phone.

Liu Yinjian shook his head helplessly. Fortunately, he has always been very patient, and after working with him for a while, he has already figured out the temper of his employer.

So I can accept all this calmly.

Forget it, let's take a walk back slowly, there is no rush anyway...

Liu Yinjian slowed down and walked leisurely, as if he were visiting the cultural scenery of this foreign city.

For outsiders, everything in Academy City is novel and interesting, even if it is just an ordinary street, it will be interesting if you pay close attention.

For example, the barrel-shaped robots that can be seen everywhere on the streets-these automatic robots with part-time sweeping, monitoring and guarding functions are all over the entire Academy City, and they are an integral and important part of the city's functions.

And it has a basic answering function, which can meet the general needs such as "calling the police, asking for directions, asking for help".

Therefore, in this city, under normal circumstances, there is no such thing as getting lost.

Of course... Liu Yinjian knows that if you ask for directions, it means that your personal information and destination information are also obtained by these machines at the same time.

For those not ordinary "tourists", avoiding these robots is the first choice.

Along the way, out of professional instinct, Liu Yinjian also avoided the robot's camera as much as possible.

Of course, he is a normal immigrant with legal procedures, so there is no need to worry about these.

Unlike Liu Yinjian's subconscious vigilance, the residents of Academy City are very used to these robots as part of their daily lives.

There are even many people who like robots very much...

Just like the girl in maid outfit who "slid past" in front of Liu Yinjian.

The reason why she is said to be "sliding over" is because of her posture—maintaining a sitting posture, her whole body is still moving in a horizontal displacement.

Because she is sitting on a barrel-shaped robot, using the robot instead of walking.

This composition is very abnormal no matter how you look at it, even Liu Yinjian, who is well-informed, can't help but take a second look, because his brain can't handle such a scene for a while.

But because this is Academy City, this kind of scene is just a part of everyday life that everyone takes for granted... Maybe?

The maid girl sitting on top of the robot frowned slightly, and tapped the robot shell under her body lightly.

When intersecting with another sweeping robot, she suddenly jumped off the previous robot and switched to a new "car".

Not far in front of Liu Yinjian, he could hear the complaining voice of the girl maid: "What's wrong with that machine? It's not very obedient."

It's no wonder you're disobedient... Liu Yinjian chuckled inwardly—he had already seen the lg belonging to the "Huberian Robot Development Company" on the shell of the robot that the maid was riding on.

Reminiscent of the information obtained before, the operator behind this robot should be Lu Cun himself.

Lu Cun said that he was going to negotiate with the alchemist Oreos, but the other party was in a tense state of being hunted down, so he constructed the building he was in as a fortress.

So no one is sure of being able to enter it in a "peaceful" way. As a negotiator, it is of course impossible for Lu Cun to go to the danger himself. With his ability, it is only natural for him to have a robot substitute.

Moreover, the body was originally intended to be used as cannon fodder for one-time use, and Lucun did not use that highly anthropomorphic stand-in body, but chose a mass product with a lower cost.

Then, rough humanoid robots cannot completely simulate the appearance and actions of humans, so walking on the street like this will definitely attract onlookers. Lucun transformed it into a model that can be transformed into a barrel-shaped robot, which can be mixed into the sweeping robots all over the street, and it can go to the destination in troubled waters.

Of course, it was completely accidental to suddenly meet a maid who likes to use a sweeping robot as a mount on the way.

Fortunately, Lu Cun's lack of cooperation made the girl maid quickly abandon this robot and switch to other robots. Only then did Lu Cun be freed and be able to truly carry out the mission.

Although Liu Yinjian recognized Lu Cun's robot, he didn't make any more movements, just regarded it as a sweeping robot that can be seen everywhere, and continued to walk forward along the original rhythm without paying more attention.

Lu Cun didn't do any unnecessary actions, and directly set the route and went straight to the Sanze School in the 17th school district.

Through remote control, Lu Cun made the deformed robot disguised as a sweeping robot go straight to Sanze School.

Plan out the shortest route and soon arrive at the destination.

The seventeenth school district is mainly an industrial area. As an educational and training institution, Sanze School was established in this kind of place mainly because of the cheap rent.

Misawa School is a chain training school, not a school in Academy City. Therefore, it is not well-known in Academy City.

Their targets are only those students who have no hope of developing their superpowers and plan to pass the university entrance examination normally. Because of the wide range of "external" educational resources, Sanze Juku does not lack students, and does not even need to advertise. After all, what should come will always come.

In addition, Sanze School is good at the "examination concentration camp"-style assault training strategy, which is just right for this relatively remote and "desert" place.

Even though it is the summer vacation, Sanze School is still carrying out course training normally.

In other words, because it is summer vacation, it is the busiest time, right?

When Lu Cun arrived, it happened to be during class, so there were not many people nearby. Only the two staff at the front desk in the lobby are browsing the webpage boredly.

No one cared that a barrel-shaped robot entered the building~www.NovelMTL.com~ Lucun just walked into the stairwell openly, and then the barrel-shaped shell cracked open, the limbs stretched out, and transformed into A tall, thin, silver-white humanoid robot.

In the next second, Lucun fully took over the control of the robot.

The robot moves its ten fingers, palm, wrist, forearm, upper arm, torso, legs...

It also flexibly turns its head, and the high-precision cameras at the eyes cooperate with other sensors in the body to form the sensory system of the robot.

Under the control of Lucun, it constantly switches between different "fields of view" such as optics, infrared rays, rays, and ultrasonic waves. Finally, there is a "magic detection" field of view, but because it is a temporary module, the effect is limited.

As for armament... Apart from this steel body, Sprite is not equipped with other weapons and equipment.

After all, I am here to negotiate cooperation, not to fight. Show at least some kindness.

After getting acquainted with his new body, Lu Cun stepped up the stairs.
