Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: Extra—Rubble Arc
Rubble’s life on Blue Star is getting better and better, and Ms. Nian Shutong always promptly gives him a new batch of metal after he finishes a batch.
Not only that, Rubble can do what he likes: learn and research.
Although Rubble still doesn’t have much emotion, he feels that life is much better now than before.
He can speak freely; it’s his nature, but he’s no longer sent away for what he says. The main thing is, Rubble simply doesn’t understand why.
As time goes on, Rubble no longer needs to eat metal; he can eat meals like humans now.
The food emitting a pleasant aroma, Rubble wants to try it, Rubble wants to collect the data on taste.
Nian Shutong has already accepted Rubble as a member of Blue Star. She precisely draws the line; one of her own must be protected, outsiders, she doesn’t care about their fate.
"Rubble, it’s mealtime."
"Rubble is here."
Nian Shutong was initially calling towards Rubble’s room, but Rubble had already appeared beside the dining table.
"Today Rubble is quick; aren’t you the last one every day?"
Fu Yunhe’s slightly teasing words, but unfortunately, Rubble did not understand them and said bluntly, "Rubble has a heart ready to collect data on anything new."
"Is that so? When working, why don’t I see you being proactive?"
Outside Rubble, looking at Fu Yunhe asking, "Why doesn’t Xiao He need to work? Rubble’s advantage lies in the brain, where is Xiao He’s advantage?"
"He said he’s good-looking."
Ha Ha chimed in promptly, causing Rubble to turn back and disagree, "Rubble disagrees, Rubble is the most beautiful."
Ha Ha looked at Rubble and said, "I disagree, my Commander is the best-looking, you’re second."
"No way, Rubble is first."
"No way, Commander is first."
The two started arguing.
Fu Yunhe looked at the two arguing speechlessly, what about him? What about him?
Although the Commander is also himself, no one knows.
The argument between the two stopped when Nian Shutong came over, both behaved more obediently than the other.
"What are you guys doing? Doing something secretive?"
"Rubble is an honest member of the Mechanical Clan; we can’t lie."
"Ha Ha wouldn’t deceive good people."
"Well, I lack strength."
One sentence each from the three people made Nian Shutong feel they made perfect sense.
"Eat."
With Nian Shutong’s command, they began to eat, and Rubble finally tasted the food’s flavor. So, this is the source of the aroma; Rubble must collect a lot for comparison later.
From the first meal, Rubble stopped eating metal. Nian Shutong asked him what he needed to level up, and Rubble answered, collecting Crystal Stones.
Nian Shutong still didn’t say anything, just asked a question, and Rubble didn’t have any expectations.
In the history of the Mechanical Clan, none have successfully leveled up using Crystal Stones because the number required is too large; no one is willing to cultivate a Mechanical Clan member for an unknown answer.
When Nian Shutong gave Rubble the first Crystal Stone, Rubble was dumbfounded for the first time, not knowing what to say, which was strange because Rubble always knew what to say.
"Take it, if you run out, I’ll give you more later."
"Thank you, Ms. Nian Shutong, Rubble might be sick."
"Ah?"
Rubble covered his heart with one hand, not explaining, and Nian Shutong didn’t ask further.
Holding the first Crystal Stone of his life, Rubble began absorbing it, and as he absorbed the stone, his brain domain started to change.
For the first time, Rubble felt something; he didn’t want to leave Blue Star.
Touching his heart, Rubble asked the void.
"Grandpa Waden, is this the happiness you were talking about?"
No one answered, Rubble still didn’t understand; he only knew that he used to listen out of fear of Ms. Nian Shutong, but now Rubble wants to listen on his own.
Life continues, Rubble often makes peculiar things for Ms. Nian Shutong that neither Blue Star nor the interstellar world has.
"Ms. Nian Shutong, where did you get these design drawings?"
"No comment, can you make them?"
"Of course Rubble can make them, Rubble just wants to tell Ms. Nian Shutong, your design drawings have flaws, do you need changes?"
"Can it be improved better?"
Rubble looked suspiciously at Nian Shutong and said, "Why change for the worse? Shouldn’t everything be improved for the better?"
Nian Shutong also found she asked a stupid question, but stubbornly said, "It’s my wish, isn’t that okay?"
Rubble nodded.
"Rubble understands, with Ms. Nian Shutong’s intelligence, improving might be difficult."
"It’s okay, don’t feel inferior; as long as Rubble is smart."
The often insulted Nian Shutong has grown accustomed to Rubble’s sharp tongue; isn’t it just vanity, self-admiration, and high intelligence?
"Work diligently."
Leaving a sentence, Nian Shutong turned and left, Rubble muttered to himself at the back, "Rubble is a diligent member of the Mechanical Clan every day, of course, will work well."
"Why say meaningless things every time?"
In confusion, Rubble entered his laboratory.
Behind, Nian Shutong pretended not to hear and left; she can’t listen, listening makes her angry.
Time passed, Ms. Nian Shutong went out for a long period, and when she returned, there were more people on Blue Star, bringing back a mother and daughter.
The next day, Ms. Nian Shutong took Ji Sisi to Rubble’s workshop, introducing them to each other.
"Ms. Nian Shutong, she wants to eat Rubble, just like how Ha Ha looks at food, Rubble has data."
Nian Shutong looked at Ji Sisi’s eyes, admittedly, there was indeed some resemblance.
After Ji Sisi’s explanation, Nian Shutong learned that this is a person with perfect symmetry compulsions, and simply let Rubble take her to do some things to see if this talent can be utilized.
Rubble was reluctant.
"Ji Sisi is not part of the Mechanical Clan; Rubble must be responsible for the legacy of the Mechanical Clan, cannot marry her."
"?"
Nian Shutong’s question face, Ji Sisi’s question face, what does it mean?
What legacy requires marriage?
"Rubble, it’s just letting Ji Sisi be your assistant. If you find her useful, keep her; if not, let her do something else."
"Moreover, I’m telling you, Ji Sisi is very willing to learn."
In one sentence, Rubble’s eyes brightened a bit, even he didn’t realize it.
"Okay, Rubble agrees."
Rubble needed someone willing to listen to him, willing to be educated, because Ms. Nian Shutong didn’t have a heart for ambition and progress, not fond of learning.
And so, Ji Sisi stayed by Rubble’s side, starting as an assistant.
When Rubble educated, Ji Sisi listened earnestly, giving Rubble immense satisfaction; finally, someone like Rubble, willing to learn, appeared.
Rubble started his journey of mentoring a disciple.
