I Can Read People's Comments

[Chapter 216 Comments.]

[Keltic_Spirit: Zombies, a concept used in so many stories, from sudden infection breakouts, mutations in the human genome to our world's popular game of planting plants to fight waves of them.]

[TheTavius08: Yo Theo the author's sick, now's the time to start praying on his downfall.I would go insane without entertainment not gonna lie, I would rob people.]

…

Fortunately, the comments came right before landing, so Theo had the time to reply to them before getting busy with the formality.

'Yeah. When you look at it, this is a rather clever move from the author. Just imagine how you're going to develop all ten worlds simultaneously. It's going to be impossible since he has to dump all the information about the world at once.

'But what if he uses worlds that have been common to people? If I say cultivation world, modern world, and post-apocalyptic world, you can instantly imagine what kind of world it is. Even if there is going to be some building to make the world unique, you will still get it with a single mention.

'And… I'm not sure how I feel after knowing he is sick. On the other hand, if he ends up discontinuing the story because of it, I will not be able to reach my goal. On the other hand, it can also be considered my victory. That's why I don't know what to say in this case.'

Theo sighed. After replying to the comments, Theo felt a slight bump when they landed on the surface.

"We have arrived. Please follow me. We'll meet with the commander before leading you to your accommodation."

"Thank you." Theo nodded, following him with the students.

He had gotten a good grasp on the base. While he couldn't say they were similar to the futuristic world he envisioned, he could see a lot of new things that weren't possible in his era.

At the same time, most of the buildings in this base were for housing. There should be more than a hundred thousand people in this tiny base alone.

The building where they were meeting the commander was the tallest building in the base. It had the usual box shape, which came as no surprise to Theo and his students.

However, the moment they entered, they were greeted by multiple maids. Each of them was wearing a rather sexy outfit and a short skirt.

"Mhmm?" Theo furrowed his eyebrows, feeling something weird about them. Theo couldn't find their life source, meaning that they weren't humans. "Are they robots?" Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

"Oh. Did you notice?" The man smiled.

"Somewhat." Theo nodded. They looked exactly like humans, if not for the fact that Theo couldn't feel their life sources.

"Really?" Avalon and Oliver widened their eyes.

"They are pretty convenient robots. The AI has been trained for over a century. The general intelligence has been established, but they've been configured in a way they can't betray their master." Maya explained with an emotionless face.

"Oh?! That sounds cool." Oliver couldn't help but observe them. Avalon thought Oliver was going to be like a pervert when approaching them, but the first thing he looked at was actually their hands, confusing Avalon.

"What are you doing?" Avalon asked.

"I am trying to see if any of them has six fingers."

"Why are you comparing the robots with those weak AIs?" Maya shook her head helplessly. "The robot is manufactured according to one's request. You can even ask for the adult version."

"Adult version… You mean…" Oliver's eyebrows twitched.

"It's like what you think." Maya sighed.

"You don't seem to like them." Avalon approached her, looking a bit concerned. He thought this was just degrading humans.

However, Maya said, "No, I like them. They are pretty useful. In the end, they can choose the gender of the robot. So, a lot of female survivors choose them over real humans. In the end, real humans can betray you, while robots can't. In this dangerous world, it's better to have a robot than a real human. Of course, at the end of the day, the world still needs to be repopulated. Most people have the same goal, which is to settle down with someone they can trust."

Avalon frowned. He never thought that this world would be this harsh. The food was lacking, they had no one to trust, and their only companion was the robot.

Oliver suddenly took out something from his inventory before saying, "Maya. Look."

Maya raised her eyebrows, looking at this metal shaft.

"Metal rod!" Oliver smirked.

It was a harmless joke, but it was clear that Oliver was implying something else. Maya's expression turned cold. "If you're going to make that poor joke again, I'm going to beat you up. Like seriously."

"Do you need my help?" Haruka asked while raising her fingers. "I can ask my familiar to possess him, strip him, and make him run around the town naked."@@novelbin@@

"What? I was kidding. Sorry!" Oliver hurriedly escaped behind Theo's back as if asking for his protection.

"Oliver. I will deduct your point by one." Theo shook his head helplessly.

"No way!" Oliver's face turned pale as he became dejected.

The man, who was supposed to guide them, smiled wryly, not knowing how to interject them.

However, laughter soon echoed across the hall.

"Hahaha. What a unique group we have here." A cyborg walked to the entrance. Theo could feel danger from this man. "Welcome to my base, Mr. Theo and his students. I'm honored to have you in my Loss Varkos."

Theo shook his hand while smiling politely. "Thank you for granting our request. The base is quite fascinating to see."

"Thank you. I'm sure you're tired from the trip, so let me guide you to my office to talk about the business so that you can get some rest as soon as possible."

"Please." Theo nodded.

The cyborg led Theo to the top floor. The office was rather spacious, enough for him and his students. There were several robot maids who served them some precious tea.

"I hope that the tea is to your liking." The commander sat down while presenting him with the documents. "First of all, please sign this document first. It's a document stating that we won't be responsible for your death."

Although it sounded cold, Theo's reputation was simply that big. Their base couldn't endure the damage if anything happened to Theo. That was why Theo reviewed the document carefully before signing it.

"I hope that we can receive information regarding the vanguard zombie and all the zombies around it," said Theo.

"Mhmm…" The commander looked down as if he were contemplating this request. Information is the biggest weapon in this world. People risked their lives to learn about this type of information. Even he, the commander, had to pay a lot for this piece of information.

As if expecting this reaction, Theo released a bit of his essence.

"By the way, please accept this, commander. This is a little bit of our gratitude for receiving us this well." Theo took out a space ring.

"A space ring? I heard that you have to take it off before entering this world. It's to prevent smugglers from bringing zombies to your world after all." The commander frowned.

"Of course. I am a law-abiding citizen, so this is nothing but an illusion." Theo smiled while waving his hand above the ring, making it disappear. "However…"

Oliver gave a smug smile. He took out some bags of protein and canned food. "My ability can do this. I have brought enough to fill up your entire warehouse."

"This…" The commander raised his eyebrows, not expecting that Theo was doing all this. There was no such thing as free stuff. The commander asked, "What do you want, Mr. Theo?"

Theo raised three fingers. "We only need three things. We don't come here to break the rule, so our conditions are all related to the missions."

Theo had thought about this thing. Since the author planned to awaken his students, it meant that the danger level this time would be much higher. As a teacher, he had to eliminate a lot of variables first.

"First, I don't want anyone to know us here, including the fact that we're about to kill the vanguard zombie. If necessary, it's fine to create a diversion. Second, I want information about all the zombies, including a map of the surrounding area. Last but not least, I want your protection… I've heard that the danger in the wasteland is not limited to zombies."

"!!!" The commander finally understood why Theo's reputation could soar like that. It seemed that he had researched this world quite a bit.

The reason why Theo never bribed other envoys was simply because the opposite party was much wealthier than him and they didn't necessarily need things.

Meanwhile, the post-apocalyptic world was very open to this idea, which made this 'gift' easier to accept.

Theo instructed Oliver to procure goods before going on the mission. Although he didn't understand much, he still followed Theo's instructions.

After some contemplation, the commander said, "I understand. I can satisfy all your conditions."

"Alright." Theo was satisfied. With this, the trip would be safer, even though he knew the author would probably come up with another thing to mess it up later.

"But it seems that you've overpaid…" The commander smirked and whispered to Oliver, who helped Theo bring all this stuff. "You seem to have some interest in the robot maids. How about I give you a discount and work on your order first? You can get them tomorrow, of course, with all the functions included."

"Can I?" Oliver's eyes brightened.

"Of course."

"Horny dog." Both Haruka and Maya rolled their eyes, while Avalon covered his eyes as if he were too embarrassed by his classmate's action.

"What the hell are you saying? I'm buying this for research purposes. You're slandering me!"
