Zhuang Zhou refused to chat with great master Ge LuEn about the little robots.
Ge LuEn felt very frustrated as well. He regretted saying those things without thinking, vilifying the little friend's belief, and making him unhappy.
However, Ge LuEn didn't take this to heart either. He already lived quite the age and wouldn't squabble with a kid over this.
And plus, just how old was this kid? Even if Ge LuEn wanted to squabble, he couldn't lower himself to do it.
Good thing Cheng JinXue was a conscientious Vice-admiral. Since Zhuang Zhou refused to communicate with Ge LuEn, Cheng JinXue led Ge LuEn to find Xiao PoLan.
Xiao PoLan was very good at pretending.
In front of Zhuang Zhou, he was forever the cute, well-behaved, pitiful robot, who didn't even have a speaker.
Receiving Zhuang Zhou's unconditional love and pampering.
Xiao PoLan didn't know how others were in front of Master. It only knew that Master carried a special power, one that can make Xiao PoLan become stronger and stronger.
Therefore, in front of Master, naturally Xiao PoLan was very obedient.
When Master wasn't present, Xiao PoLan acted like a grand lord or something. Even though it knew that Cheng JinXue was the second in command of the battleship, Xiao PoLan ignored him whenever it wanted.
However, Cheng JinXue knew how to flatter people, and did it rather well. One minute, he's saying: "PoLan-ge is so impressive. You can understand this kind of cartoon? Even an adult like me can't understand it!" The next minute, he's saying: "PoLan-yeye didn't go out to play today? How about we take a walk to the quarry and let everyone witness your outstanding beauty and majesty while mining. You'll definitely be able to charm countless robots!"
He praised so well that Xiao PoLan was practically bursting with joy. After being coaxed repeatedly, it nodded and allowed great master Ge LuEn to inspect it.
Ge LuEn has never seen a robot with such a human-like personality. In the intergalactic era, robots all had Al. However, it was still impossible to say they've reached a certain degree of intelligence and were no different than humans.
Because of this, while inspecting Xiao PoLan, Ge LuEn felt rather exhilarated.
"This design! Although this design is pretty much the same as regular, basic robots, without any special areas, just look here! This is the wire that connects to the energy stone. It doesn't have any energy radiation at all!"
"And here! The installation compartment for the energy stone. Just look at the result from the scanning equipment. There's no radiation at all! Not even a little bit! Even in ancient Earth, the cellphones that people carried around would still have a tiny amount of radiation. But this has none at all! The radiation is completely blocked!"
"Genius! The person who designed this robot is practically a genius! He has utilized the energy stone to its full capacity! And also blocked all of the energy radiation to zero! Currently, there's no one with this kind of skill in the entire universe. He must be a genius!"
As Ge LuEn inspected, he praised nonstop.
Cheng JinXue opened his mouth wide: "Boss's designing skills...… is really this impressive?"
Hearing this, Xiao PoLan and Ge LuEn raised their heads at the same time. The robot and man both rolled their eyes at him.
Cheng JinXue yelled: "What kind of expressions are those!"
Ge LuEn touched Xiao PoLan fondly, reluctant to part, and said tenderly: "Forget it, little cutey. We'll ignore this idiot."
It's obvious that this couldn't have been made by Wen XiaoYun. It can only be Zhuang Zhou.
Because Cheng JinXue said previously that Zhuang Zhou made more that were exactly the same.
Speaking of which, Ge LuEn asked hastily: "Oh right, was the robot that the little friend made previously really sold off?"
Cheng JinXue felt gloomy just thinking about it: "Yes, it's sold. He said he copied the Xiao PoLan that Boss made and created a complete replica, without any difference at all."
Ge LuEn felt extreme heartache: "Can't he cancel the order? And intercept the delivery?"
Cheng JinXue furrowed his brows: "We're the 3rd Legion, not pirates who rob people...… And plus, Zhou Zhou sold it himself. The buyer didn't return the item either. Our people contacted him, asked him if he could resell, but he wasn't willing. Therefore, we stopped following this matter."
Ge LuEn felt even more heartache.
Cheng JinXue said: "However, according to Zhou Zhou, he also made Xiao PoLan#2 and #3. Try to coax Zhou Zhou a bit more. Perhaps Zhou Zhou will give them to you. Zhou Zhou is very easy to coax."
Hearing this, Ge LuEn instantly became energized. "I'll coax him! And make him happy! What does the little kid like? I can go buy it immediately and deliver it to him!"
Cheng JinXue silently took out a handful of incense: "Then take this."
Ge LuEn: "...…?"
Cheng JinXue: "Zhou Zhou likes to worship the God of Wealth. If you join us as backup followers of the God of Wealth, he definitely will like you."
Ge LuEn: "?????"
Wait a minute. This was clearly a superstitious cult, so why is there even a backup group?!
--
Inside the room, Zhuang Zhou also didn't know that his followers had a backup group.
He was currently recording his preferences according to Wen XiaoYun's request.
Under Wen XiaoYun's supervision, Zhuang Zhou racked his brains and finally said several things that he didn't like.
Wen XiaoYun recorded earnestly.
He disliked eating tasteless things.
Disliked others saying bad things about the God of Wealth.
Disliked the Wishing God.
When recording this 3rd item, Wen XiaoYun thought of some unknown thing and suddenly chuckled.
Zhuang Zhou felt somewhat embarrassed, like his little secret was just exposed: "What are you laughing about?"
Wen XiaoYun said: "How come you don't like the Wishing God?"
Zhuang Zhou said internally: Because the Wishing God was petty and complained about them all day long.
Not seeing him answer, Wen XiaoYun thought briefly and said: "Because Cheng JinXue previously said it was the Wishing God who blessed him?"
Zhaung Zhou didn't dare to go into details and said vaguely: "Pretty much……."
Wen XiaoYun said: "Okay, continue."
Zhuang Zhou struggled for quite a while and then said several more things he didn't like. In the end, he really couldn't think of anything else.
Wen XiaoYun comforted him: "It's okay. We can add more in the future."
Zhuang Zhou: "We can still add more in the future?"
Wen XiaoYun: "Naturally. You can tell me what you dislike everyday. I will record them all."
Zhuang Zhou slowly gave an 'Oh'. Thinking of some unknown thing, he glanced at Wen XiaoYun a few times.
Wen XiaoYun finished recording the dislikes and right in front of Zhuang Zhou, highlighted this file as "must look at every day",.
Zhuang Zhou shot a look at it and said in bewilderment: "Why give it this kind of tag?"
This kind of preference, wasn't it fine just knowing it?
Was it necessary to look at it everyday?
Wen XiaoYun said: "Because this is a record that needs to be updated everyday."
Zhuang Zhou furrowed his brows: "So troublesome."
"Not troublesome." Wen XIaoYun said calmly: "Your preferences are extremely important to me. It's not troublesome at all.
Zhuang Zhou: "......."
He looked at Wen XiaoYun, almost wanting to say something, but then he swallowed it back down again.
Wen XiaoYun already opened up a new note file: "Then, let's record your likes now."
Zhuang Zhou had plenty of likes.
He liked noise and excitement!
Liked learning and studying!
Liked having a lot of people believing in the God of Wealth!
Liked eating foods with heavy flavors!
Liked Xiao PoLan!
Liked battleship Wyvern!
Liked…....
Wen XiaoYun stopped recording and looked seriously towards Zhuang Zhou, interrupting his long stream of words, asking: "Do you have any people you like?"
Zhuang Zhou said without even thinking: "I do!"
He liked all of his kindhearted followers, who also gave him lots and lots of Faith!
The corner of Wen XiaoYun's lips curved inconspicuously as he said: "En, then why explain briefly, what kind of people you like?"
Zhuang Zhou said: "I like ones that's very powerful and also good looking. They are also kind-hearted, with a lot of subordinates, and able to provide a lot of jobs for many people……"
This kind of follower can provide him with a lot of Faith!
One of them was equivalent to 10!
As Zhuang Zhou listed, the curve at the corners of Wen XiaoYun became more and more apparent. A smile slowly grew on his handsome face as his eyes became gentler as well.
Everything that the little friend described matched him pretty well.
The only exception might be that he wasn't so kindhearted inside.
But.. how to explain this.
Because Zhou Zhou himself was very kind, perhaps he felt like everyone else was kind as well.
Wen XiaoYun asked in a good mood: "Then currently, who do you think best fits the criteria you just listed?"
Wen XiaoYun felt somewhat like asking a question that he already knew the answer to.
But he still really wanted to hear his own name coming from Zhou Zhou's mouth.
And said voluntarily.
Zhuang Zhou pondered deeply. Right now, which of his followers suited this the most?
A few seconds later, he said clearly: "Cheng JinXue!"
Wen XiaoYun: "......."
The smile on Wen XiaoYun's handsome face disappeared instantly.
He slowly opened his mouth and said expressionlessly: "Who?"
Zhuang Zhou said: "Cheng JinXue of course."
Actually, Xiao PoLan was his most devoted follower.
However, Cheng JinXue was also very pious right now.
And plus, Cheng JinXue was a Vice-admiral. He had a lot of subordinates. Thus, he provided the most Faith to Zhuang Zhou right now. It was the strongest and plentiful.
Even though Cheng JinXue mistook him for the Wishing God previously, he already corrected himself and became the 2nd most devoted person after Xiao PoLan.
Naturally, Zhuang Zhou liked him the most.
After saying this, he perceptively noticed that Wen XiaoYun's mood felt strange and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
Wen XiaoYun took a deep breath and then gave Zhuang Zhou a very faint smile: "It's nothing."
His hands just felt a bit itchy.
Zhuang Zhou didn't see Wen XiaoYun recording Cheng JinXue's name down and asked curiously: "You're not recording anymore?"
"I'm recording right now." Wen XiaoYun said expressionlessly. Under the column of "the person Zhou Zhou likes best," he wrote down his own name.
Zhuang Zhou saw this: "Huh? You filled it in wrong……."
"No I didn't." Wen XiaoYun interrupted him and said calmly: "I hope that in the future, this column will only be filled with my name. No one else."

The writer has something to say: PS--
Zhuang Zhou: You filled in the wrong name. It's Cheng JinXue!
Wen XiaoYun: No I didn't. He's about to be gone.
Cheng JinXue: ???
