Zhou Yingting spoke, lifting the robot in his hand, and said something.

Hearing Zhou Yingting say this, Lin Hua thought for a moment and felt he was right.

If the robot that the other party wanted could be found outside, then they wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble to discuss this with them; they could have just found it themselves.

Even if there are robots outside, it's still possible to avoid them if you're careful.

After walking a few steps, the group successfully entered the base.

There were quite a few people inside the base, all of whom were either weaker in strength or without a team, thus not choosing to go out looking for keywords or clues.

Seeing Lin Hua and others return, those left in the base immediately gathered around, looking at them with curious eyes.

"So, how was it? Did you have any gains this time?"

They were almost out of options inside this base.

They had tried every method they could think of, but none of them worked.

Now, they could only pin their hopes on these people. If these people could find a way to deal with the robots, they'd be saved.

Lin Hua heard this and shook his head, "I didn't find any useful clues on my side."

The people in the base looked disappointed at hearing this.

"The robots you encountered yesterday have indeed been upgraded."

Seeing Lin Hua and the others had no news, the people in the base shared a piece of bad news.

Zhou Yingting hadn't returned yesterday, so he didn't know this information. Hearing it now, his expression immediately tensed.

"What did you say, the robots have upgraded? It's been such a short time, and they've already upgraded? That fast?"

Zhou Yingting was a bit surprised, and nearby Lin Hua and others were also stunned at this.

"Did you study the robot we brought back? Confirming it has been upgraded?"

This matter made his expression grow serious.

If it's true the robots have upgraded, this A.I. is truly impressive, or perhaps the amount of keywords the other party holds is considerable.

Otherwise, there's no way the upgrade could be completed so fast.

Considering this, everyone's expressions grew somber.

"We've studied it. Some of the keywords inside this robot have been replaced. They are completely different from the previous ones."

Several people in the base nodded confidently as they spoke.

"Take me there to see."

Hearing this, Lin Hua grew anxious and hurried toward the base interior.

A group quickly arrived before these robots and soon saw a singular robot.

This robot had already been disassembled, allowing everyone to clearly see the inside of its body, with keywords still flickering inside.

Everyone crowded closer to take a look and soon saw distinctive keywords inside it.

"This keyword... combat?"

"No wonder, no wonder when fighting these robots yesterday, it clearly felt like their Combat Power increased a lot. They added a combat keyword."

"Not only that, there here are also weapon mastery keywords and martial arts mastery keywords. They're enhancing the robots' Combat Power!"

Everyone finally understood what was going on here.

No wonder it was so difficult to fight the robots this time.

Previously, when battling the robots, they seemed a bit sluggish, as if they only knew how to use brute force.

"If they have magic keywords, I'm afraid the A.I. would install those for them too, right?"

Everyone exchanged looks, their faces uneasy.

Because they didn't know if the other party had magic keywords; if they really did, what would happen if they used them on the robots?

"Impossible, magic keywords require Spiritual Power to use. Where would robots get Spiritual Power? If they could use them without Spiritual Power, wouldn't they be invincible?"

That would mean endless mana. If that were the case, it would be extremely problematic.

They already felt these robots were undefeatable; upgrading them to this extent would make them even more impossible to deal with.

Zhou Yingting squatted down to take a closer look, confirming these robots had been upgraded, his brows furrowing tightly.

"It seems, for the time being, it's best not to provoke these robots. Otherwise, they might use data collected from fights with us to update again."

It was already hard to deal with; if they collected enough data, fighting them would be impossible.

"For now, that's all we can do. Did you gain anything on your trip?"

Looking at the robots in front of them, Lin Hua then turned to Zhou Yingting.

His side had no gains; he wondered how Zhou Yingting had fared.

Responding to these words, Zhou Yingting placed the robot he brought onto the ground, then pointed to the robot before them.

"It's this thing. The keywords on this robot might be of some use to us."

Keywords?

Hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the robot Zhou Yingting brought back. Soon, they noticed the keywords inside its body.

It was another redefined keyword, making them pause slightly but soon showing joy.

"This thing, redefined itself as a human?"

Immediately, they recalled keywords inside the enemy robot. It was forbidden to harm humans.

Needless to say, they could confirm they weren't recognized as humans by the other party.

But now, this robot Zhou Yingting brought back, the human keyword inside its body might correspond to the opponent's human keyword.

So, if they could control this robot, it would be like ensuring the other party doesn't harm it, allowing them to complete their mission?

Everyone present realized this possibility.

Xiao Yuzhu, hearing the commotion, came over as well and relaxed upon seeing Zhou Yingting.

Zhou Yingting hadn't returned for over a day, making her think something happened to him, but she was relieved to see him back.

"What's going on? Why are you all so excited?"

With no time to ask about Zhou Yingting's experiences, Xiao Yuzhu focused on the robot in front of her.

She vaguely heard them say something about having a solution or the like.

This piqued her interest, hoping to see what they discovered.

Seeing Xiao Yuzhu arrive, Lin Hua immediately displayed the latest keyword for her to view.

Xiao Yuzhu lowered her head, pausing slightly upon seeing the keywords inside the robot.

"After redefining itself as human, does it mean…"

At this moment, she also thought of the prior robot's keywords—it couldn't harm humans. Was the unharmable human this kind of robot?

If so, wouldn't they be able to use this keyword to avoid the robot's harm?

"You're likely thinking the same as us. What's most crucial now is how to control this robot or, rather, apply this keyword to us."

"Perhaps if we have this keyword, the robots won't attack us anymore."

Lin Hua appeared energized, finally finding a way to complete the mission.

If they couldn't find a solution soon, he felt he would go crazy as the difficulty was simply too high.

At this rate, anyone would lose their mind, right?

Xiao Yuzhu's eyes fixed on the robot, and soon she showed a look of difficulty, "But the problem is, we can't remove the keywords from the robot."

The keywords can't be removed, so how can they be applied to them?
