"Bang!"

A muffled sound echoed as Zhou Yingting kicked the door in front of a mall's storage room.

After more than a day, Zhou Yingting had finally worn down the lock's durability, so with one final kick, the door couldn't withstand anymore and was slammed open by Zhou Yingting.

Seeing the door open, Zhou Yingting dared not hesitate and quickly stepped into the storage room.

He tried to keep his voice as low as possible, but some sound was inevitable, and Zhou Yingting worried that the robots might hear it.

If the robots rushed in, it would be trouble.

It was best to get the items quickly and leave.

With that thought, Zhou Yingting didn't dawdle. Once inside the warehouse, he began to search swiftly.

Very soon, Zhou Yingting's gaze was drawn to a cabinet ahead.

Inside these transparent cabinets were some keywords.

When he saw these keywords, Zhou Yingting's face instantly lit up with joy; there were indeed keywords here!

"This one's a levitation keyword..."

"Understanding mind, this keyword is here as well!"

"Energy surge keyword."

"All these keywords are here, I'm hitting the jackpot!"

Looking at the keywords in front of him, Zhou Yingting's eyes were filled with delight.

Although some keywords were repeated, he could trade the duplicates with others for keywords he wanted.

He was missing quite a few keywords right now, so if he could exchange them, he'd surely profit.

Zhou Yingting lowered his head to count; there were about thirteen keywords laid out before him.

Reaching out to collect all the keywords, Zhou Yingting's gaze moved to other nearby cabinets.

However, what was stored in the other cabinets were some parts and components, only the cabinet before him contained the keywords.

"It's a pity, there are only these keywords."

Zhou Yingting sighed, knowing he was being a bit greedy, but it was hard not to be, having found so many keywords.

"Got the items, time to leave."

Zhou Yingting scanned the other cabinets to confirm there were no more keywords, then stopped thinking about it.

The parts in the cabinets were useless to him, so he left them behind.

After securing the keywords, Zhou Yingting headed outside, taking three robots along.

The keywords in these three robots should be useful to them.

The three robots were heavy, Zhou Yingting tied them together and dragged them out.

Once Zhou Yingting left the mall, he quickly checked his bearings and locked down his route.

According to Xiao Yuzhu's advice, he shouldn't return directly to avoid being tracked by the robots.

Zhou Yingting followed Xiao Yuzhu's instructions, circling around a few times to ensure no robots were following him. After clearing the traces he made, he picked up the three robots and ran towards the base.

By the time Zhou Yingting returned to the base, it was evening.

Just as he reached the base's entrance, he saw Lin Hua and others also heading into the base.

Lin Hua and the others were slightly stunned upon seeing Zhou Yingting.

Since Zhou Yingting left yesterday and hadn't returned for a day, they speculated all night that Zhou Yingting might have met with misfortune.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yingting had returned alive.

Watching Zhou Yingting, they were naturally astonished.

"You're okay? It's been almost two days, I thought you might have died out there."

Lin Hua glanced behind Zhou Yingting to ensure there were no robots following before he relaxed and greeted Zhou Yingting.

However, their focus was mostly on the three robots Zhou Yingting was holding.

Judging by the design of the robots in Zhou Yingting's hand, they seemed to be earlier generations?

Overall, they looked much like humans.

If they hadn't had much contact with robots lately, they might have mistaken Zhou Yingting's robots for actual people.

"I ran into some issues out there, so I'm returning a bit late."

Zhou Yingting nodded at Lin Hua and then carried the robots inside.

The crowd gathered around, curiously inspecting the robots Zhou Yingting held.

Meanwhile, a few people seemed to realize something and asked Zhou Yingting in low voices.

"Could these be the robots Xiao Yuzhu and the others wanted?"

The robot in Zhou Yingting's hands did look remarkably realistic.

Wu Yong had mentioned before that they were looking for certain robots that could enable mechanical ascension.

Zhou Yingting paused for a moment and then continued walking inside, "No, I found these robots outside. The ones Wu Yong mentioned are with the wise brain, so they couldn't be the same."

"Moreover, the robot in my hand should be a third-generation robot, with many flaws. Wu Yong and the others wouldn't be interested in this type of robot."
