CHAPTER 503: CHAPTER 373 SHOCKED! 8000-WORD MEGA CHAPTER! _4

Li Zheng found the mounting functions at the bottom of the battle humanoid’s blueprint, put in an AI core and a Personality Release Device, and confirmed the creation.

Soon, a character creation panel appeared in front of Li Zheng.

"For a profession like a ninja, it’s definitely better to choose a female." Li Zheng operated on the character creation panel.

Before long, a short-haired, melon-faced female intelligent humanoid appeared in front of him.

"From now on, you’ll be called Fukada Yuuki, primarily responsible for the internal security of the residence!" Li Zheng offhandedly assigned a task, basically creating a slightly combat-capable beautiful girl.

"Yes!" Fukada Yuuki responded blankly, mechanically nodding, and turned to begin patrol.

"Wait!" Li Zheng called her back, "Put on this outfit!"

He tossed over a black leather outfit, freshly traded from the trade hall, connected at the front by a long zipper.

"Yes!"

Fukada Yuuki stared at the outfit in her hands for a moment, then figured out how to wear it.

Watching her independently put on the leather outfit, Li Zheng nodded with satisfaction: "As expected. Installing an AI core was a good idea, combined with a learning core and a Personality Release Device, you might become the first genuinely intelligent humanoid under my command."

"Yes!" Fukada Yuuki zipped up the leather outfit and barefooted, performed her security patrol duties inside the residence as per Li Zheng’s orders.

There wasn’t much to patrol, Li Zheng just didn’t want another model machine standing idly in the residence.

"When intelligent humanoids gain a learning capability, I wonder how much they can improve?" Li Zheng pondered, looking at the first battle humanoid he had crafted, which inherited some features and figure from Professor Yomei and Professor Porto, and recalled those two blood-red robots with true biological consciousness.

Those two blood-red robots had relatively rough construction, but their brain technology was surprisingly advanced. Li Zheng wondered if Fukada Yuuki could one day reach the wisdom of Ish and Kuro.

Or... figure out a way to directly replace their bodies?

After some thought, Li Zheng temporarily shelved the idea.

At least, it required obtaining consent from Ish and Kuro first, otherwise, it would be a bit inhumane.

He searched the trade hall and acquired two daggers, then handed them over to Fukada Yuuki without giving her specific instructions.

She paused slightly when she received the daggers, then attached them to the loops on either side of the leather outfit.

"Her learning ability is strong!" Li Zheng wanted to test the intelligence of the humanoid he had created on a whim, so he traded for a pair of black strappy high heels from the trade hall.

Fukada Yuuki, upon receiving them, also paused slightly, sat down on the spot, and wore the shoes.

Meanwhile, Li Zheng privately retrieved the two daggers and handed them back to her once she stood up again.

This time, she inserted the daggers into the loops without hesitation.

"Does she remember after doing it once?" Li Zheng pondered, and when Fukada Yuuki saw no further instructions coming, she wobbled away in high heels.

The first few steps were unsteady, but after becoming accustomed, Fukada Yuuki adeptly balanced while walking in high heels.

Gradually, she exuded a sultry air, appearing sexy and charming.

Unfortunately, her gaze remained too rigid, still within the domain of intelligent humanoids.

"Not bad, it would be even better if there was an additional slot for mounting a Technology Cup. Wouldn’t that make her the perfect companion every man dreams of?"

Li Zheng stroked his chin, already considering expanding the mounting slots to monetize the "perfect companion" concept.

The Matrix has millions of individuals willing to pay for such a perfect companion, and Li Zheng wasn’t worried about not making enough profit.

"Unfortunately, this might have to wait until reaching the Outer City, where the channels for obtaining items might be more plentiful and stable than in the Matrix."

Whether it’s an AI core, Personality Release Device, Memory Release Device, or learning core, these materials are relatively scarce, and Li Zheng couldn’t guarantee he could assemble another set before entering the Outer City.

After studying the battle humanoid’s learning ability for a while longer, Li Zheng gradually lost interest and pulled out the round chip extracted from Jes’s brain.

This chip showed no attributes when held, even Prelis’ Eye only displayed the hint [Technological product extracted from a player].

Not to mention the use method.

"An item with no attributes?" Li Zheng remembered obtaining something similar before.

"Those two black USB drives in the illustration book!"

Since Prelis’ Eye became an Ability, Li Zheng hadn’t touched the illustration book again, having long since forgotten about it.

Seeing the attribute-less item again brought back memories.

Could those illustrated USB drives also come from outside the Matrix Game?

Who would collect such biological information from outside the Matrix?

And also...

Why are these USB drives appearing inside the Matrix?

A flood of thoughts surged through Li Zheng’s mind, and he vaguely sensed he had grasped some crucial information, but lacked additional data to connect them.

The fragmented information was too much, and without connections, he couldn’t arrive at a conclusion despite thinking hard.

Li Zheng gazed at the chip in his hand and eventually decided to leave it to the experts, trading it to Xiao Siyuan while explaining its origins.
