Chapter 23
"What?!" Zhuang Jiu was taken aback, and tore off the green vine that was gently scratching her ear, grabbing it with a bit of unkind eyes, trying to find where it came from.
"Easy! Lighten up! Why are your hands so strong? It hurts me to death!" The green vine complained, and after meeting Zhuang Jiu's eyes, the tail drooped unconsciously, "Damn it!"Why are you looking at me like that? It’s okay for people to be afraid of fire..."
Afraid of fire?
Suddenly remembering the recent changes in his body, Zhuang Jiu suddenly flashed something in his mind, and began to look for its roots along its tail.
The long vines dragged on the ground and entangled a few times.Zhuang Jiu grabbed it and straightened it, and when it screamed in pain, it finally found its end——
The connecting part turned out to be her wrist!
The roots of the vines submerged into her skin, and the joints were blue and white, opening and contracting with the pulse.Zhuang Jiu has always had cool fair skin, the kind that will never turn dark no matter how sun-tanned, except for the cyan color of the arteries on the inner side of his arm which is extremely obvious.After knowing the abnormality and looking at it carefully, the artery seems to be much greener than before.
Tried to pull at the joint, a piercing pain came from her wrist, as if even the arteries were about to be pulled out.Not only that, but the end of the vine also turned up: "Don't pull it! I'm a part of your body! It hurts me too!"
Listening to its voice, Zhuang Jiu couldn't help feeling very strange.
its not right!Isn't the sign of vegetalization of the body and the summoning of plants something that can only be done by plant-type abilities?
What about such a big fire ability in her previous life?Where did you go!
"What's going on? Am I not a fire-type supernatural power?" Zhuang Jiu couldn't help but panic because of things she had never touched before, but she quickly calmed down and asked, "When did you show up? IIs the abnormality on your body these days related to you? Can you talk to me, can you speak human language? Where is your vocal organ?"
The vine thought for a while, and replied with some uncertainty: "It should be two days ago... right? I fell asleep for a while, and then the lack of water woke me up from my slumber. But you are wrong about one thing."
The little vine shook its head, seemingly proud of itself, and when it raised its tail, it hit Zhuang Jiu's head with a "snap", "Plants don't have vocal organs. It's not that I can speak human languages, but that you are now considered a human being."Half a plant, you can understand the language of plants!"
"It's like the camphor tree talking to you just now. Others can't hear it, but you can hear it, and it can automatically convert it into a language you can understand."
Zhuang Jiu almost understood. After nodding, he tore off the vines and held them in front of him for "education": "If you touch my head again, although I can't tear you out of your body, I won't let the vines you separateYou're welcome, do you understand?"
Vines: QAQ.
"Okay..." it said weakly.
Although Zhuang Jiu didn't know why she suddenly changed from the fire ability in the previous life to the plant ability in this life, she quickly accepted this fact.
Even if she doesn't accept it, she can't help it. The abilities on her body are completely different from those in her previous life. Now when she faces the fire, she is almost in a state of complete fear.
Besides...
It has never been heard that there are two kinds of abilities in a person with supernatural abilities. In this life, she is destined to have no chance with fire-type abilities.
Zhuang Jiu sighed slightly.
In fact, in terms of offensiveness, among all the abilities, the fire ability is one of the most powerful abilities.Even the ditch outside Zhuang Jiu's wall was a hole dug for the flames.
But now, that ditch should be useless.
Although a little regretful, Zhuang Jiu's interest was aroused by one thing that the vine said.
"According to what you mean, I can understand the language of plants now, so can all plants understand my language?"
The vines froze for a moment.
It has not thought about this question.
After a long while, it replied weakly: "It shouldn't be possible... right? But you can tell me the questions you want to ask, and I can talk to them. Of course, whether you answer or not depends on the mood of those plants."
This is not a bad ability.Compared with human and machine observations, plants have existed for a long time, and they may know many things that humans do not know, and they may be able to solve the mystery of the end of the world!
The novel in Zhuang Jiu's mind didn't write about why the end of the world opened until the end.In the previous life, she died on the eve of victory, so naturally she didn't know the reason.
With this ability, maybe we can find the source of the mutation earlier, maybe even the antidote can be developed in advance!
Zhuang Jiu couldn't help feeling a little hot in his heart, and his eyes were a little bright when he looked at the vines.
The vines could feel what Zhuang Jiu was thinking, and at this moment proudly puffed up their chests, and the whole vine was a little swaying, "I know more than that. Don't look at me so thin, but I can lift something bigger thanSomething 500 times my own weight!"
Speaking, in case Zhuang Jiu didn't trust her, the vine suddenly extended a lot from her wrist, and after a few laps under Zhuangjiu's feet, it really forcibly lifted her up by nearly half a meter!
"Not only that, but I can branch out into many branches, all of which can be done like just now!"
The vine was extremely proud, and in Zhuang Jiu's eyes, it branched out into nine branches.
"And more! As long as there are blood vessels in your body, I can appear from any part of your upper body. Although I don't know the reason, but..." Vine talked a lot, and kept talking non-stop.
It was complacent over there alone, but Zhuang Jiu was thinking about another thing in his heart.
Now that nine branches can be divided... then under her command, can many things be done at the same time?!
Would it be possible to speed up the progress of putting together a mechanical body for Werther?
Because Werther's current white body has not been further refined, every time Zhuang Jiu sees it, the white skeletons he saw lined up in a certain zombie laboratory in the previous life will appear in his mind.The cold hair on the back will always stand up unconsciously.
Hurry up and make Werther's body out!
Thinking of this, Zhuang Jiu tentatively asked: "Since we are one, how can I take you back and release you?"
Vine: "That's easy to handle, as long as you want to put me away or let me out, I can take it oh oh oh—"
The retracted vines reappeared at her fingertips in Zhuang Jiu's mind, and the vines opened their mouths and shouted: "The next time you take it in, let me know in advance, it's too scary——"
The green slender strips disappeared in the blink of an eye. Zhuang Jiu looked at his arteries in his wrists that had turned blue and his ears clean with satisfaction, and walked back to the villa briskly.
Werther has already made breakfast, a bowl of scallion noodles and a fried egg.Because the body is inflexible, the shape of the egg is a bit horrible, and there is even a hole missing in some places. It lowered its head with guilt: "I'm sorry, sister, this body is too inflexible. If sister is not satisfied, I willJust do it again!"
"It's okay, it's just eating, don't worry about it so much." Zhuang Jiu rubbed his round head, which has no hair yet, "Let's eat first, I have some good news to tell you when I go to the laboratory later."
She habitually shares everything she knows with Werther, and it is estimated that this vine will often meet Werther in the future.
But in the villa, Zhuang Jiu didn't really want to release it for the time being.The vines are not as calm as Werther's, and their voice is also very sharp. It took a while to clear the ears. Of course, the time can be extended as much as possible, so let's extend it as much as possible!
Drizzle sesame oil on the surface, neatly cut green onions and sprinkle them on top. Zhuang Jiu covered the eggs in a small dish, sprinkled a circle of balsamic vinegar, added some chili peppers, and picked up aChopsticks noodles.
The spiciness is just right, and after being combined with the vinegar flavor, it is even more appetizing.The noodles in the bowl were exactly her amount, maybe because she was hungry, Zhuang Jiu ate it up in a short while.
In the game room, put together all the virtual body parts from yesterday, and after tried it, the functions were the same as what Zhuang Jiu had in mind, and Zhuang Jiu was very satisfied.
Now you can finally start fighting for Werther!
Zhuang Jiu basically memorized all the required parts in his heart, and after arriving at the laboratory A area, he quickly selected the required things.Because there are many things that need to be smelted and polished on site, the winery also dragged two carts of different crystal ores to area B.
Prepare everything in advance, and save time when you have to go back to Area A to pick up things.
After transporting everything to Area B, Werther's white head without facial features looked around: "By the way, sister, what is the good news you mentioned earlier?"
Zhuang Jiu showed a smile of unknown meaning.
Suddenly, a green thing hung down from his hand, and the vine straightened up and greeted Werther cordially: "Hi! Big fool!"
"What is this?" Werther got closer and pinched the vine to look, only to find that the part connecting the two turned out to be the fingertip of Zhuang Jiu!
"Is it because of my sister's physical abnormalities during this period? If it is a plant, the water content is so high, it can be explained." Werther quickly thought of the abnormality of the winery these days.Although it doesn't know what a superpower is, as an AI, he is used to rationality, as long as this thing doesn't threaten Zhuang Jiu's life, he won't ask any questions.
But seeing such a thing, he couldn't help being a little curious.
Gently tugging at the vine, seeing it baring its teeth and cursing, Werther let go of his hand in disgust, "Sister, this vine is so unqualified, it's actually swearing!"
"Although I'm just an AI, I still have human rights! Werther will be sad if it attacks me personally like this!"
Instead, Zhuang Jiu looked at Werther's eyes even more surprised, "Can you understand what it says?"
"Witter's processor contains thousands of languages. Although the sound frequency of plants is weak, it is not impossible to capture it. Before the end of the world, Werther tried to talk to the orchid at home because he was bored when his sister was building a half-mech, and the result was really good.A response was received, and Werther has been able to hear plants since then."
"Werther is really awesome! You have been hiding it all the time, my sister didn't even know you knew this skill!" Zhuang Jiu smiled slightly, "Okay, don't waste time, I have to give you the skill quickly."The body is made. There are enough vines here, which can help me a lot, and I can do it by myself. Werther, you help me with things every day, why don't you take a rest outside during this time? I have already troubled you a lot.”
Werther, who is gearing up and ready to help Zhuang Jiu: "...huh?"
"Werther doesn't find it troublesome at all, and I was the one who helped my sister before..."
The voice was inexplicably aggrieved, and Werther lowered his head involuntarily, "Although Werther's body is inconvenient now, I still want to help my sister."
"Haha! I'm so jealous!" Vine laughed loudly, stretched his body and circled Werther twice, "Hahaha! It's okay, what's the point of admitting that you can't do it? Anyway, I can top it. Don't worry, IYou are very smart, and you must be better at work than you!"
Werther stomped on the vine calmly.
Although the vine was already a part of Zhuang Jiu, unless she wanted to pull it out of Zhuang Jiu's body, she would not feel pain if the part of the vine that extended was injured.
Zhuang Jiu didn't know what Werther was doing behind him, and he didn't know why the vines suddenly started cursing again.After she educated the vines, she looked at Werther's aggrieved eyes, and her heart suddenly softened.
She wanted Werther to rest because she didn't want to see him always busy with herself. With the vines, she could handle many things alone.
But now it seems that Werther may not need to rest, what he needs may be company, and wants to stay by her side.
"In the past few days, Werther, please remind me to eat on time. From the fifth or sixth day, you help me keep an eye on the temperature of the crystal ore smelting furnace to keep it above 2000°C, and the coolant should be replenished in time., so that I can take it whenever I need it, and polish and shape it.”
"Okay!" Although he has no eyes, Zhuang Jiu can automatically imagine the look of his eyes shining in his mind. After a chuckle, he walked into the laboratory with the parts.
This time the order is slightly different from before.Because the construction of the shell requires a lot of smelted ore to reshape, Zhuang Jiu intends to piece together the hands first to find the texture, then the delicate head, and finally the legs and body that require a lot of shells.
The vine's statement is not exaggerated, because it has the same mind as Zhuang Jiu, and it almost knows exactly what Zhuang Jiu wants. Almost when she remembered that she needed to pick up a certain part or chip, it had already taken that thing.Rolled it up and handed it to her.
Originally, it was expected that making a robotic arm in reality would take more than twice as much time as in the virtual space, but with the help of the nine branches of the vine, it took almost as long to successfully complete a robotic arm!
Zhuang Jiu will become extremely focused when he enters his work field, and he will continue to devote himself to his work after a simple meal at noon.
One day passed in a flash, but fortunately, nothing went wrong, and the two mechanical arms have been completed.
The next day is the head.
Because there are many small chips that need to be placed precisely, Zhuang Jiu specially brought a single-chip magnifying glass to the side of his eyes so that he can observe at any time.
But soon she discovered something that surprised her.
No matter how thin a person's fingers are, some things still cannot pass through, or because the place where they are placed is too small, it is easy to place them crookedly with tweezers.But the vine is different. Its branches can split infinitely and become thinner and thinner. It can easily pass through places that Zhuang Jiu can't enter, and place tiny chips accurately.
The collocation with it is more skillful than Zhuang Jiu imagined.
The mechanical head was basically assembled in one morning, and it looked majestic.When you go back and put the mecha shell back on, it will be even more domineering!
Werther has always liked the mecha body, and he will definitely be satisfied with this body!
Everything that needs to be assembled has been done, and the next day is over.
The time is much shorter than imagined, and the rest is to spend a lot of time beating and casting the crystal ore into the desired shell shape!
For three consecutive days after that, the buzzing of grinding machines, the sound of clanging crystal ore collisions, and the sound of cooling fluid evaporating from the next door could be heard continuously from Area B to the laboratory.
After spraying the last piece of crystal ore and fitting it into its position, a rather mighty mecha warrior appeared in front of Zhuang Jiu and Werther with a semi-finished body.
This body is based on a large area of navy blue, and flame patterns of different sizes are drawn on each crystal ore slice.On the breastplate directly in front, there is a signal light similar to a lens, which emits a faint blue light when it is activated, and of course it can also be changed into different colors according to Werther's thoughts.
The left and right mechanical arms are equipped with different weapons, and the lethality is about equal to three star railguns firing at the same time.Zhuang Jiu has calculated based on the memory of the previous life, even if it is facing the tide of zombies, it can last at least half an hour.
The mechanical lower limbs are equipped with a device that can quickly escape, allowing for fast low-altitude flight; as selfishness, Zhuangjiu installed a handle that can be popped out on the back of the mech.Just run away.
In order to strengthen the hardness of the mech, Zhuang Jiu also quietly added extremely hard ice ore to the crystal ore, so that when it is violently attacked, the outer shell will not be seriously damaged.
In addition, ice ore has a cooling effect, even if it encounters a dangerous situation and carries out an overload attack, the internal parts will not be melted, which can be regarded as extremely safe!
Witte's chip, Zhuang Jiu, made a new copy of the code, leaving the original chip outside and the backup chip inside.Werther can enter it through a signal at any time and take over the activities of the entire mech!
This set of equipment is perfect, whether it is attack or defense, it has reached the top level of this planet!
"The two of us spent so much effort, and finally built this set of mechas!" The vines were too noisy and had already been put away by Zhuang Jiu.She patted Werther on the shoulder, "The body that was slapped against the blueprint should meet your requirements, right? Go and try it!"
Staring blankly at the mech in front of him that perfectly stepped on his aesthetic point, even as an AI, Werther felt his heart surge.
"My sister is simply amazing! This set of body is amazing, and it's a little too handsome!!"
"Sister wait for me!"
"Werther... you can use your new body to meet your sister soon!"
The author has something to say:
After building the armor.
Vines: Ahhh, so excited!Sure enough, I can’t do without Zhuang Jiu, I’m the best assistant oh oh oh oh oh——
The vines taken back by Zhuang Jiu: Today is another day when QAQ was taken back without warning.
Sorry little angels, because tomorrow will be a clip, and tomorrow's update will be adjusted to around 23:30. Those who follow the update can watch it the day after tomorrow (July 12). Thank you for your understanding, thank you!!!
