      by Aria — Chapter 44: But Other Types of Non-Humans Aren't Completely Off the Table... Ezekiel stared at him with great interest. "You know my name?" "It was in the news," Xiang Nanli replied. "Ah, that's actually the name those researchers gave me. I don't really like it," Ezekiel replied slowly. "Though, you might as well call me Ezekiel. After all, humans need a name to address me by." Before Xiang Nanli could respond, a loud clatter suddenly echoed behind him. It turned out that Andrew, who was…

      by Aria — Chapter 45: Death Is Rebirth? Xiang Nanli trailed behind the Black Armor Knight, stepping out of the elevator and onto the top of the city wall. The moment the knight exited the elevator, he reverted to a aloof, unapproachable demeanor. "My Lord, right this way," an official of the Eternal City bowed low, his head bent almost all the way to the ground. "Those Mutants are still assaulting the city... A—A few of them nearly climbed up the wall." To these surface survivors, a Knight Commander of…

      by Aria — Chapter 46: The Holy Spirit Is Simple; It Is Humans Who Are Complex... "Your brother was a warrior. He died in the winter defending the Eternal City." "You are a warrior too. Mama is proud of you." Holding him, his mother spoke through her tears. Having just survived the genetic mutation, Sirius nodded vigorously. A few scales had sprouted along his arm, stinging with pain; he didn't dare scratch them, terrified that whole sheets of skin would peel off and expose the raw, bloody flesh…

      by Aria — Chapter 47: Saw... the Light Xiang Nanli raised his arm. The black armor followed his movement perfectly, carrying virtually no perceptible weight upon his body—it was as responsive as if it were an extension of his own limbs. Xiang Nanli couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement, "How miraculous!" Processed through the armor’s built-in speaker, his voice sounded eerie, deep, and slightly sinister. His heart throbbed with excitement, a surge of adrenaline second only to the day in that…

      by Aria — Chapter 35: Xiao Qing, Considering You Were Manufactured in Our Factory… Advanced Lifeform Selection Tournament, Ring 6. Rhine stared at Dongfang Qingdi as he strapped a vital-signs monitor to his own wrist, looking as if he wanted to say something, but held back. In the adjacent ring was a star contender from Yangzhou City who had made it into the Top 50 last year. Before she had even stepped up, a massive crowd had gathered around her area. The clamor was immense, with spectators practically…

      by Aria — Chapter 36: He’s a Man; Theoretically, He Can’t Bear Children. From the preliminary rounds to the semifinals, there were five rounds of fights to win, and Dongfang Qingdi won them without any difficulty whatsoever. Compared to winning, what proved far more difficult for him was pretending to have a back-and-forth, evenly matched fight with his opponents. He couldn't win too easily, nor did he want to let the other party touch him. As a result, Dongfang Qingdi had no choice but to flash and…

      by Aria — Chapter 14: "You’re Only Telling Me This Now...?" Xiang Nanli, with the flashlight clamped between his teeth, walked through the transmission conduit, which resembled a giant water pipe. He asked: "Alpha, do I look like Mario the plumber to you?" "Alpha, do you know who Mario is?" "Alpha, everyone has a built-in AI nowadays; is this considered a 'companion beast' like in those fantasy novels? Are these AIs newly produced, or are they inherited from dead people? Do you AIs have levels? Did I…

      by Aria — Chapter 15: The Lurker Xiang Nanli’s head poked out from the conduit vent, looking remarkably like that irritating mole from a Whack-A-Mole game. He was dangling upside-down from the ceiling, looking down at the floor, which featured a conveyor belt that resembled an airport baggage carousel, hanging three or four meters below him. The belt was stalled, its tracks littered with debris. Thanks to the genetic serum, Xiang Nanli’s otherwise frail body could handle this kind of prolonged, upside-down…

      by Aria — Chapter 38: Which Line of Code Went Wrong? After saying that, Xiang Nanli drifted off into a groggy sleep. He had only woken up for a brief moment. Before falling back asleep, a thought flashed through Xiang Nanli's mind: Since Dongfang Qingdi is leaving, I should order a domestic housekeeping robot once I get back to Gusu City. He had saved up just enough money anyway. With his current income level, he could easily afford a higher-end model. He just didn't know if any would be as human-like as…

      by Aria — Chapter 39: They Were Not Equal Comrades-in-Arms with the Omnics—They Were Merely Protected Monkeys The signal emitted by the Omnic was extremely faint, lasting for only those few short seconds while the gate was open. Yet, Dongfang Qingdi still managed to capture that brief segment of encrypted radio waves. From it, Dongfang Qingdi decoded the Omnic's model, serial number, and distress message: — Apostle III: Gospel No. 1.2.5. — Damage level: 89%. Requesting assistance. Xiang Nanli…
