Chapter 417: Are You Even Human!

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Danke was starting to perspire from his anxiety.

Wasn’t Fang Zhao supposed to be in seclusion?! He had been missing for so long without any sign of activity. Why had he suddenly appeared here?!

Huangzhou entertainment reporters are really nothing more than a bunch of trash!

Danke had even asked a few entertainment reporters he was on good terms with and confirmed that Fang Zhao hadn’t appeared before heading out. This was the only reason why he had dared to bring Little Fatty Bear out to play. But what was he supposed to do now?

After getting down from the car, Fang Zhao glanced at Danke. Then, his gaze lingered on Little Bear. This kid was a little strange.

Little Bear flashed a bashful smile when he sensed Fang Zhao’s gaze. His eyes were filled with delight and excitement, and he wanted to run over right away. However, when he saw Curly Hair, the legs that had inched forward were quickly retracted.

At the same time, Fang Zhao heard a sound. It was a sound that he had first heard when he was on Planet Bu — the signal that had originated from the Alkaid.

Fang Zhao raised his eyebrows.

The signal appeared for a short moment before stopping. This time, it wasn’t a request for help but more like a probing one. After confirming the answer, it had stopped.

Little Bear appeared even more excited, but when he looked at Curly Hair beside Fang Zhao’s feet once again, Little Bear shrunk back once more.

Fang Zhao handed the leash to Zuo Yu to bring Curly Hair to the side.

Zuo Yu tugged on the leash, but Curly Hair didn’t budge.

Fang Zhao bent down and gently patted Curly Hair’s head twice and indicated for Curly Hair to wait at the side with Zuo Yu first.

Only then did Curly Hair leave grudgingly.

Once Curly Hair walked away, Little Bear, who had been hiding behind Danke’s back moments ago, sprung out and ran over to Fang Zhao.

“Hello, I am Little Bear!”

“Hi, I am Fang Zhao.” Fang Zhao found a chair and pulled it over.

“I know you! I finished watching ‘Founding Era’, which you starred in. I also watched your concert! I’ve also seen your gaming videos and variety programs!” Little Bear sat on the chair that Fang Zhao had passed over. He swung his legs around and looked delighted.

Danke, who had been immediately forgotten and left at the side: “…”

Little Bear was currently in fanboy mode and bragged about all of Fang Zhao’s shows and concerts he had watched.

Fang Zhao replied to Little Bear from time to time while analyzing this… person?

No, was this a real person?

His body temperature, pulse, breathing, heartbeat and other expressions were similar to a real person. Although the disguise was close to perfect, it was still different in the end. Fang Zhao could hear some discrepancies.

He looked like a real person, but this was actually a mechanical body.

However, he was too much like a real person, especially with the minute details in his changes in expression. If it weren’t for Fang Zhao’s impressive hearing ability, he really wouldn’t be able to discern it immediately. At most, he would have just thought that this person was a little weird.

Was this the “person” on board the Alkaid that the Inter-planetary Fund had brought away?

Back then, the Inter-planetary Fund had only revealed that they had taken away some core technology that couldn’t be disclosed to the public, possibly the spaceship’s blackbox. Even Fang Zhao hadn’t thought that it would be a “person” like this.

As Fang Zhao mulled over how he should treat this little special fan(?), Danke worried incessantly. In the meantime, Little Bear continued to display his excitement.

“Your acting in ‘Founding Era’ was just too good! I loved the Yanzhou Chapter most of all! The sound track was also awesome! I cried a few times while watching! Later on, I cried so much that I ran out of tears. It was heart wrenching.”

Fang Zhao paused. “Err, drink more water? You have to replenish your fluids if you run out of tears, right?”

“Yeah!” Pure adulation was written all over Little Bear’s face.

Danke: “…” Kid, your IQ has fallen!

You even believe this nonsense?!

Drink more water if you run out of tears?

Can you produce tears just by drinking water? Shouldn’t tears fall as a result of emotion?!

However, Little Bear still continued on. “I will definitely bring a few more bottles along with me next time!”

“Are you… alright? From crying too much?” Fang Zhao asked.

“I’m fine. This is also a method for me to experience enriching emotions.”

“Even so, you still have to maintain it at acceptable levels. You can’t always specially carry a few bottles of water everywhere you go,” Fang Zhao said.

“Of course, I have reserves. I will specially drink more water before heading out. Don’t worry,” Little Bear said in a really pleased manner.

Danke, who had been entirely forgotten and left behind, looked like he was about to crumble. Ahh——I can’t go on listening to this retarded conversation!

Are they nuts?!

Little Bear wasn’t aware of Danke’s frustrations and continued speaking to Fang Zhao. “I heard that you will still have a graduation concert after your Advanced Studies is complete, right? I also want to listen too, just that I do not know whether I will have the time then. I will have lots of tiring assignments. However, I will overcome these difficulties!”

Danke, listening in over at the side: “…”

More crap!

Yesterday, Danke had seen Little Bear watching the television and had asked, “Have you finished your assignments? I heard that you have quite a lot of assignments every day.” However, Little Bear had replied with a disdainful “piece of cake”.

And now? Have you eaten up all the words you said yesterday?!

Not only did Little Bear expressed his fanboy sentiments to Fang Zhao, he even talked about his little pet.

“Here, this is my pet, Little Riches. You two should have met before. You can rub him this way, pat him in this manner, or pull him like this!

Little Bear showed Fang Zhao the various sorts of methods of playing with Little Riches.

Danke: “…”

I have f*cking brought you out to play so many times and you don’t even let me touch that black ball! What do you mean, “Little Riches can’t be handled over and touched by other people randomly”? You meet Fang Zhao for the first time today and you voluntarily deliver Little Riches into his hands?

Is our friendship and interaction over such a long time incomparable to Fang Zhao, who you just met for the first time?

Such a difference is totally cold and ruthless. Are you even human?!

Danke felt that he couldn’t stay any longer. When the repairs for his beloved car were done, he dragged Little Bear away.

Back in the car, Danke still felt outraged by this injustice and criticized Little Bear for forgetting about a brother upon meeting his idol.

“Do you really like Fang Zhao that much?” Danke just couldn’t comprehend.

“He is a good person,” Little Bear replied.

“You have only known him for such a short while. How would you know that he is a good person? Many people act one way in public and another in private. Word online might make Fang Zhao out to be very impressive, but you do not know how he really is.”

“He is especially impressive!” Little Bear interjected.

“His is indeed impressive, but that has no relation to whether he is a good person or not!”

Danke wanted to go on, but he saw Little Bear’s eyes quickly starting to brighten when talking about Fang Zhao. Danke quickly swallowed whatever else he wanted to say.

Forget it. Discussing how bad an idol before a die-hard fanboy would only be causing myself trouble.

Little Bear caressed the ball-shaped Little Riches and said, “Truthfully, I think it is a little like imprinting.” 1

When Little Bear had laid dormant in the Alkaid deep under the sands of Planet Bu for so long, it had been Fang Zhao who had detected his S.O.S signal. Little Bear had finally been freed and the Alkaid had finally seen the light of day.

Fang Zhao could be considered his benefactor.

Although Little Bear had been in a dormant state at that time, everything that had occured around him had been recorded. Every organism and every machine had been converted to data. Fang Zhao was the first person in many years to fish out the Alkaid’s distress signal.

As for Curly Hair?

Little Bear had sensed a natural enemy signal coming from Curly Hair’s body. He couldn’t bring himself to get close.

“There wouldn’t be the current me without Fang Zhao,” Little Bear lamented.

However, upon hearing this, Danke’s only thoughts were, The f*ck?! Unbelievable!

Danke’s mind started to think about all sorts of far-fetched plots he had seen in dramas.

Little Bear interrupted Danke’s thoughts and said, “I’m still a kid. I don’t know.”

Danke scoffed, “At least you know that much, little brat.”

Danke wasn’t too hung up from not getting any answers from Little Bear. He was simply curious about any gossip concerning the top brass of the Inter-Planetary Fund, so he had casually asked. However, he wasn’t super invested in it.

“Alright, let’s not talk about all this already. I will bring you drifting!”

Of course, Danke wasn’t really talking about real street racing. He didn’t dare bring Little Bear drifting. His father and those on top would flay him alive. The street racing he was talking about were holographic races at a racing gaming center.

He wouldn’t have anything to be afraid of if Little Bear drove virtually.

At the gaming center, Danke chose a gaming hall. He swept his bangs aside and said, “Sit at the back. Brother will bring you for a spin! You shall witness the Racing God of Huangzhou’s driving skills!”

Although this was only a game, the visuals and sensations were rather realistic. If the open roof method was selected, they could even feel a strong wind on their faces.

After choosing the car model, Danke started to drift.

After one round of drifting, Danke flashed Little Bear a dazzling smile and asked, “Am I impressive or what? Are you happy?”

Little Bear was expressionless and scoffed indifferently. “Oh.”

“Tsk, alright. Since you don’t think much of it, I will let you have a taste of my true ability!”

Danke sucked in a deep breath and showed his true skill in the second round, forgetting that Little Bear was in the back seat. He was sure that even if it was a game, his driving this round would have surely scared the little kid. When he turned around, he saw that Little Bear was just staring blankly ahead like an idiot.

“This isn’t how you are supposed to drift,” Little Bear said.

“Heh, teaching me now? Then how do you really drift?” Danke was displeased.

“Move aside.” Little Bear swapped places with Danke and took the driver’s seat.

Five minutes later.

Danke rushed to the sink and vomited.

This was the first time this self-proclaimed Racing God of Huangzhou felt carsick.

Danke felt like he had been dealt a massive blow. Although the Racing God of Huangzhou was a name he had given himself and was rather boastful, he still felt that his driving ability was quite good. He should be at a god level when it came to racing games!

However, today, a little bear kid had smacked his face really hard!

Danke returned after rinsing his mouth and looked embarrassed. He remained sullen for awhile before saying, “A game is just a game. Driving a real car is different.”

Little Bear didn’t like what he heard. “I can also drive.”

“Then wait till you are of age and get your driver’s license.”

“I can drive now!”

“Alright alright alright, you can drive,” Danke replied half-heartedly.

“Not only can I drive, I can even fly a spacecraft!”

“Yes, yes, yes, you are awesome!” Danke continued to put on a show. Deep down, he was snickering. This brat really loves bragging. You might as well just say you piloted the Alkaid!

After recovering, Danke also didn’t stay much longer at the gaming center and brought Little Bear back.

“I’m actually very good at gaming. It’s just that I don’t play many racing games now so I have become rusty,” Danke said.

“Given your standard, wouldn’t you be crushed if you played other games?” Little Bear said with disdain.

“Hey, that doesn’t really happen. Even if I encounter an opponent I can’t beat, I just have to call a few of my bros. The strength of someone alone is always insignificant.”

Little Bear appeared to think for a while. Then, he patted Danke’s shoulder. “Dan Dan, thanks for reminding me!”

“… What did I remind you about?” Danke suddenly had a foreboding premonition.

“I have a new idea.”

“It’s best if you don’t have other ideas. I’m worried.” Danke didn’t dare underestimate this bear kid’s destructive ability!

“You reminded me.”

“No! I didn’t!”

Danke was on the verge of tears. Having run into Fang Zhao when bringing Little Bear out was bad enough. Who knew what his father would say when they got back? Now, Little Bear suddenly saying such a thing scared him sh*tless. God knew what this bear child would do. If Little Bear came up with some bad idea, wouldn’t Danke be the one taking the blame?

Little Bear didn’t listen to Danke’s thoughts. He didn’t go to Danke’s place and returned to his own work place instead.

At the engineering floor of the Inter-planetary Fund’s Experimental Base, staffers were astonished when they saw Little Bear. Normally, this kid couldn’t wait to run out and have fun when ever he was free. He never did any overtime! Now, Little Bear was supposed to be on vacation. It was very rare for him to not head out during vacation!

Little Bear didn’t care about the gazes of others and walked into his own workshop.

He felt that what Danke said was right. Alone he was too weak. Little Riches also wasn’t much use. He required helpers!

If he didn’t have any helpers, he would just make them!

The Inter-planetary Fund didn’t permit him to construct any high intelligence objects, so Little Bear had always felt that there wasn’t any need to build another retarded pet. Little Riches was also considered by the Inter-planetary Fund personnel to be highly intelligent. This made Little Bear somewhat depressed. When had the standards for “intelligence” become so low?

In his opinion, without that bit of “soul”, whatever remained behind would be a stupid object with rigid reasoning and no flexibility!

However, even so, what he wanted to build now was something that had a lower intelligence grade than Little Riches.

Taking a few deep sighs and mulling quite a bit, Little Bear ultimately decided to build two Intelligent+ pets.

He had already thought of their names. One would be called Dogdan and the other would be Dogke.
