Chapter 27: Microchip
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
An artificial being was left behind. Wei Huo was unsure about the whole situation, but it seemed that the artificial being had failed to return to the portal causing it to have plummeted in the direction of Wei Huo.
Wei Huo had sharp eyes. He clearly saw the divine light plummeting to a jungle nearby. He had to hurry over and check what was going on. He brought the Giant Panda along and rushed towards that direction.
The Giant Panda who was running while peeing, could not catch up with Wei Huo who rushed ahead. It was crying out as if trying to say, ‘Aren’t you afraid of getting lost?’
Of course, Wei Huo was not afraid. He had the Map function after all. fre ewebno vel.com
Wei Huo rushed into the jungle and kept running forward. He even used the Creature Scanner that he had stopped using a long time ago. He realized there were all kinds of creatures around him. Some were large in size while others were small. However, the creatures in the Central continent were somehow different from the creatures in the Northern continent.
The creatures in the Central continent did not have to worry about being frozen. They did not have thick fur as the weather there was not cold but hot instead. Shaggy creatures like the Giant Panda were out of breath after running for a short while due to its body’s low heat dissipation from the thick fur.
The Giant Panda found it hard to adapt to the weather in the Central continent. It previously happened when they were still at sea. It got worse when they got closer to the Central continent. That was the reason Wei Huo had built a wooden basin for it to soak.
Wei Huo and the Giant Panda kept moving forward. Finally, he saw a human silhouette ahead of him. That being smashed into numerous branches when falling from the sky before finally hitting the ground and falling unconscious.
As he walked closer, Wei Huo realized the artificial being was a girl around 17 years old. Wei Huo was stunned the instant he laid eyes on her.
He had never seen such a beautiful lady before. With well-defined facial features, fair skin, smooth hair, and a slender body. Her beauty was out of this world. Not even the world’s most beautiful woman was comparable to her.
Wei Huo could not think of any words to describe her. None of the idioms describing a beautiful lady like ‘Making Fish Sink and Wild Geese Fall’ or ‘Outshining the Moon and Putting Flowers to Shame1‘ came to his mind. Only one word popped up at that moment, and that word was... “F*ck!”
That was the first time Wei Huo felt he was such an uncultured man.
However, describing the girl was not important now. Saving her was his first priority. Wei Huo saw the attractive girl’s attributes through her Health Menu.
‘Artificial Intelligence Being. Gender: Female. Health: Hurt. Breathing: Weak. Mobility: Zero. Operability: Weak. State: Unconscious.’
Wei Huo could clearly see that the girl was badly injured. He saw a fracture on her left lower-leg and scratches all over her body through her Health Menu.
Instead of touching her, Wei Huo built a log cabin and a bed first. Next, he carried the girl and placed her on the bed.
Then...
Wei Huo did not do anything then.
Wei Huo did not know what to do! He was not experienced in rescuing someone as he never suffered serious injuries throughout those few hundred years. Not many animals dared to provoke him because firstly, he was too strong and secondly, his ‘The Loner Abandoned by God’ title. He was the one who had been provoking animals all the while.
So, Wei Huo was clueless about how he could rescue the girl.
Again, her survival depended on herself. However, the good news was that she had 10 basic skills at level five. As soon as she wakes up, she could give Wei Huo instructions on how to rescue herself.
What Wei Huo meant was that although his Medicine Skill was at level zero, his learning ability was very strong. He might not be capable of anything else but as a full-time student more than a hundred years ago, he was very good when it came to learning.
‘Do you think nine years of compulsory education was useless? Are you kidding? These nine years of education had greatly improved our copying... Ahem, our ability to learn by analogy, our ability to study, and our ability to imitate others.’
After settling her down, Wei Huo ordered the panda to keep watch on the girl while he went back to their ship and moved his stuff over. There were foods as well as materials such as wooden boards and oil lamps.
The Giant Panda stared curiously at the girl when Wei Huo was out moving stuff. It was confused yet felt attracted to her as the girl was the second human it had ever seen. It walked up to her and started sniffing her scent. Then, it licked the girl’s palm.
Right then, the girl suddenly woke up and groaned in pain. Shocked, the panda bolted out the door.
That panda was indeed a ‘Big Fool’.
The girl struggled to get up. She was stunned when she saw the terrified Giant Panda. Wei Huo happened to come across that scene when he returned. He saw both of them looking at each other in dismay.
“You’re awake?” Wei Huo was slightly surprised.
The girl looked at him with a confused expression.
Concern filled his face as he asked, “Can you talk?” freeweb novel.co m
Bewildered, the girl looked at Wei Huo and tilted her head, “I am artificial being Number 677. Have I arrived at God’s Gate? I have three issues to report regarding the Construction, Medicine, and Beast-taming skills test in the game world. First...”
“Wait!” Wei Huo interrupted her. “You’re not in good condition right now. I don’t know much about Medicine Skill. Maybe you should take a look at your own conditions first!”
Number 677 checked her Attribute Menu and said, “Rest stat at 70%. Hunger stat at 25%. Thirst stat at 30%. Currently immobile. Currently incapable of eating or drinking. Estimated time of death 3.7 days.”
Wei Huo frowned slightly. That girl in front of him was really an artificial intelligence being. It seemed like she did not have any human emotions from talking about her death so blandly.
Wei Huo said, “You don’t have to worry about food and water. You should take a look at how to save yourself first and tell me!”
Number 677 examined her body carefully and said, “The wrist, shoulder, and head needed to be bandaged. The fractured lower leg to be splinted with a board and wait for it to recover. Mobility will be regained after 10 weeks.”
Wei Huo sighed in relief when he realized surgery was not needed. He had zero knowledge of medical skills.
Wei Huo instructed Number 677 to tell him how he could rescue her, then he followed her orders to save her. Although it was very troublesome, Number 677 was very cooperative throughout the whole process.
Soon after, Wei Huo was done with all the bandaging and had splinted her fractured lower leg.
Number 677 checked herself and said, “Bandaging quality ‘Shoddy’, the expected recovery in 5-7 days. Splint quality ‘Shoddy’, splint has to be changed after 10 days.”
Wei Huo was speechless. “...”
Although she was expressionless, she surely had a lot to complain about!
“It’s my first time, please excuse me.” Wei Huo quickly explained himself.
Number 677 did not even realize the expression on Wei Huo’s face. Just like a robot, she continued. “Herbal medicine can help shorten healing time. Hunger level and Thirst level are below normal, physical unwellness will occur soon.”
Wei Huo kept silent. “...”
‘Just tell me if you are hungry and thirsty.’
Wei Huo had already prepared her food and water. Number 677 started enjoying her meal after she received it. She laid down and rested after she finished replenishing herself.
Wei Huo suddenly asked, “Have you seen God before?”
Number 677 emotionlessly looked at Wei Huo and said, “May I know what is your serial number?”
Wei Huo twitched his mouth and said, “I’m not an artificial intelligence being. I am human!”
Number 677 went blank for a moment. She scrutinized Wei Huo as she did not believe him. She then said, “A non-halted human detected. An error message has been recorded. Requesting a connection with artificial intelligence being Number Zero... Connection failed. Unknown error detected.”
Wei Huo was confused. “???”
Wei Huo thought it was a bit weird. Was Number 677 really under the control of a microchip?
