Chapter 1144: West World

Translator: Lordbluefire

Two fully armed security guards immediately walked toward Sun Mo. They even aimed the muzzle of their guns at him. If he had any drastic reactions, they were prepared to fire and kill him.

“Who am I?” the young girl asked again.

“The Princess!” the robots replied with their strange monotonous voices.

The young girl lowered her head and kept staring at her wristwatch. Actually, other than being a time display, it was also an instrument that could detect one’s mood waves.

At this moment, the data of another robot showed some changes.

The young girl glanced over.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The guns of the security guards immediately fired, shooting at the robot.

“…”

Sun Mo was speechless.

These robots should be strictly called androids. Their bodies were made from the latest technology and their skin, blood vessels, muscles, and fats had no difference from real humans with regard to the sensation. As for their inner organs, they could use bionic organs, but the buyer had to pay more.

These androids, when produced, would be inputted with various programs. For example, how to be a chef, a nanny, a cleaner, a security guard, etc. After that, they would be able to do the jobs they were programmed to.

In this empire where science and technology were flourishing, androids had become a necessity like mobile phones and computers. They could be seen everywhere.

Sun Mo was one of the latest offline android series, the newest science product of the Beehive Corporation. He was something the mother of this young girl ordered to be made for her.

When the young girl asked the question of ‘who am I’, it was a fixed procedure when it came to ‘unboxing’ these androids. It was to ensure that none of these androids had gained self-awareness.

Once they discovered any androids with self-awareness, these androids had to be discarded and demolished.

“Recycle the microchip and return it to my mother!”

After the young girl finished instructing, she glanced at Sun Mo again. “He didn’t reply when I asked the question for the second time. Evidently, there must be a logical error in the programming!”

This meant that this android belonged to the flawed grade. After all, Sun Mo didn’t try to escape or resist. This meant that he wasn’t self-aware.

“Eldest miss, what should we do with him?”

An engineer asked.

According to the past handling procedure, androids with problems were to be sent back so they could be scrapped. But this batch was something the boss had specially ordered for her daughter. The level of technology and materials used for creation was top-tier and also the most expensive.

“Forget it, just leave him here then. In any case, I like his face. Although there might be logical errors when it came to its programming, it wouldn’t affect him carrying my handbags!”

The young girl was contemplating as she surveyed Sun Mo. She then gave a new order. “Do 100 push-ups!”

(F*** your mom!)

Sun Mo cursed silently, but he still did what he was told. It was more important to survive.

“Remember, my name is Emma. I’m your princess!”

The young girl twitched her lips like she was training a puppy.

Because of his looks, Sun Mo was exempted from being demolished and he became one of Emma’s properties.

This time around, Emma obtained eight androids of the latest generation from her mother. Six of them were bodyguards, one was a butler and the last one was supposed to assist her with her daily life, also known as the handbag-carrier, responsible for all miscellaneous stuff.

Sun Mo was very unlucky. He was the handbag-carrier.

After leaving the factory, Sun Mo who sat inside an anti-gravity car finally saw the true face of this world.

Because science and technology were exceedingly well-developed, humans could make better use of space. Hence, towering skyscrapers were everywhere.

The highest level of the city was filled with abundant sunlight and the air was good. The most important thing was that there was also a sense of superiority that came from overlooking the myriad of things from such a great height.

So, this region was the residence for the upper-class people of this world.

The middle level of the city were residences for workers, lawyers, those with various qualifications and skills.

The environment there was still pretty good because all rubbish could be thrown below.

For the lowest level, it was once the earth’s surface. Now, it had become a garbage site.

Naturally, there were also a large number of humans who had given up on themselves living here.

When Emma left the factory, she directly headed to the largest business center in this city.

“Get them some suits!”

As she stood within a top-brand clothing store, Emma instructed the shop assistant with the purchases. After that, she sat down and began playing with her wristwatch.

This was a portable equipment and had a virtual screen.

“Yes, miss!”

The shop assistant clicked her tongue silently. As expected of a wealthy person, a western suit here cost over ten thousand grand, but she was actually buying them for androids.

Yes, although the standard of science and technology now was high enough to create very life-like androids, there was still a need to differentiate them from humans. Hence, there had to be an identifier on the earlobes of all androids.

This was also a type of supervision toward androids.

…

Emma’s house was an extremely vast villa. In the city of the sky, which was also the most expensive region of this city, the people were all high-class members of society with net worths of hundreds of millions.

Androids had no need to sleep. But in order to create a normal living environment for their owners, lifestyle-type androids not only had their own bedrooms, but their bedrooms were fully decked out in furnishings too.

“How freaking extravagant!”

Sun Mo stared at the luxurious furnishings in this place and was so envious that he almost drooled. (It’s so good to be rich! Speaking of which, what’s going on with me now? Could this game be something that has to be played from the camp of androids?)

Sun Mo had played too many games before. Orcs, minotaurs, demons, or even female characters had been experienced by him before. He didn’t feel uncomfortable in any way.

When he saw Emma again, it was already the second day’s morning.

“I’ll go shopping in Dream Building later. Make the preparations!”

When Emma ate her breakfast, she casually instructed Sun Mo. This was to make him prepare the equipment needed when heading out. For example, drinks, sunblock, sunglasses, etc. All these items were what a life assistant like Sun Mo had to be responsible for.

“Oh right, you look even more handsome after wearing the suit. You are the type that I like. Seems like my mother had really put in a lot of effort when she prepared the gift for me.”

Emma was very satisfied.

After eating, Sun Mo followed behind Emma and headed to the garage. When they arrived before a sports car, Emma didn’t open the door. Instead, she looked at Sun Mo.

“Sadly, there’s an error in your logic programming and it has wasted your good looks!”

Emma was depressed. After that, she lectured, “Hey, you should be opening the door for me!”

(F*** you!)

Sun Mo mentally pointed a middle finger at her before he expressionlessly opened the car door. “Princess, please get into the car!”

“I want to sit at the side!” Emma instructed. “Today, you shall drive!”

(Are you not afraid of dying in a car crash?)

Sun Mo silently mocked. He was still worried about what he should do because he had never driven a car like this before. In the end, the moment he got on, the program in his brain naturally allowed him to display the best and most proficient driving skill.

They arrived at the Dream Building. Although the place wasn’t big, it was targeted at the rich people. The price of any casual donut here would cost as much as a seafood feast outside.

“This pair isn’t bad!”

On the third floor, Emma saw a pair of shoes, and just when the shop assistant was about to put them on for her, she was stopped by Emma.

“You do it!”

Emma pointed at Sun Mo.

“…”

Sun Mo really felt like stuffing the shoes in this girl’s mouth. However, he still managed to bear the impulse. He squatted beside her and lifted her foot with one hand before helping her to wear the shoes with his other hand.

“Do you think it looks nice on me?”

Emma questioned.

Sun Mo remained silent.

“Che, I don’t want them anymore!”

After Emma finished speaking, she wanted to leave. However, this android suddenly pulled her arm and dragged her behind a sofa.

After that, the sound of gunshots rang out.

Da! Da! Da!

Emma’s guards had extremely fast reactions, but it was useless as the other party came prepared. After a round of gunfire, half of the androids had their heads explode.

Putong!

The shop assistant also died. She fell before Sun Mo, and her head exploded like a rotten watermelon.

“Ah!”

Emma covered her head tightly with her hands. She was so scared that she screamed shrilly.

Pak!

Sun Mo covered Emma’s mouth and surveyed the surroundings. He then immediately pulled Emma along as he rushed toward the fire emergency exit.

Thugs actually appeared in such a high-end place? This meant that this was a planned act and the other party had a very strong combat force in reserve. If they didn’t shift location before all the bodyguards died, they would surely be killed.

“Who are these people?”

Sun Mo asked.

“They are wearing red jackets with red cloth head coverings. They should be from the Flying Freedom Forces!”

Emma had heard of this group before. They were a group of people consisting of androids who gained self-awareness, and normal humans who felt that humans and androids should co-exist peacefully together.

“Are they not simply terrorists?!”

Sun Mo piggybacked Emma and sprinted down the emergency stairway. But before he could reach the first floor, he already saw armed terrorists rushing over.

The two of them could only head to the second floor and temporarily choose to hide in a female washroom.

Emma opened up a terminal and saw that the Dream Building was already in the headlines. The Flying Freedom Forces had occupied this place and kidnapped all the guests, wanting to threaten the government to release the androids they had captured. At the same time, they wanted the government to give androids freedom and human rights.

“Are these people crazy? Androids are just goods, so why would they need human rights? They don’t even need to eat or sleep.”

Emma was very speechless. She had never heard of a computer wanting human rights before.

Crackle~

The terminal’s signal was cut. Evidently, these thugs must have used an electronic screening or blocking device.

…

“Boss, Emma has escaped!”

Zero reported.

“Trash. She’s a big fish, and we must capture her for sure!”

The boss commanded.

Hence, one-third of the people here started to search for Emma.

…

“I have to think of a way to reverse the situation!”

Emma racked her brains with an excited expression on her face.

She loved this type of excitement.

“Do you have any ideas?”

After Emma finished speaking, her mouth was covered by Sun Mo again.

Her eyes widened. (What the hell? This fellow actually has self-awareness?)

Emma wanted to struggle but an instant later, she understood why Sun Mo did this. The sounds of footsteps began to ring out in the washroom.

Shh!

After Sun Mo hinted, he released Emma and pulled out a handgun. While recalling the layout of the washroom when they had rushed in earlier, he was also tracking the position of the thug based on the sound of his footsteps.

All of a sudden.

Sun Mo charged out of the plastic door of the cubicle.

Bang!

Sun Mo leaped out. At the same time, he also fired his gun.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Da! Da! Da!

The thug also started to fire, causing sounds of gunshots to echo through the air.

Emma hugged her head and cowered in her corner.

“Alright, everything has ended!”

Sun Mo covered his stomach and inspected the two corpses.

(Why the hell did you guys have to install the sensation of pain for androids?)

“Are you injured?”

Emma came out and saw that Sun Mo’s suit was dyed red with blood.

“I won’t die.”

Sun Mo picked up the thug’s weapon. His current marksmanship was automatically set at a high level due to the programming. So, it was pretty good. His accuracy rate was above 70%.

If he wanted it to be higher, it would have to depend on his experience and talent.

“Let’s go. I’ll protect you, we have to leave this place!”

Sun Mo brandished the gun and rushed out of the washroom, entering the corridor. After that, he immediately encountered a thug who masked his face. Just when he wanted to pull the trigger, the thug suddenly called out.

“Sun Mo?”
