Chapter 446 Return of Alina
Chapter 446 Return of Alina
This time, the Robotic Cerberus was connected to a large external battery, which was fully powered.
The whole thing was brought to the testing space and Mark proceeded with the launch.
Mark land on its back to activate it. Just as he was about to switch it on, Mark took back his hand in nervousness.
"No, let\'s not risk this."
Mark remembered Allen\'s advice and wondered if he could integrate Alina\'s core into this robot by himself.
But, he doesn\'t want to risk getting it damaged either.
Hence, he consulted the system.
"System, can the core get damaged if something unexpected happens in this project?"
The system was always quick to reply.
<nullb>*Ding! Negative. The exterior of the core is made from adamantium alloy, which can resist the attack of even a demigod.
<nulli>"Hmm… then, this is safe, I guess…"
Mark brought the robot back to his lab and dismantled its upper body. A couple of hours later, with the help of assistant robots in the factory, he managed to build a cube-shaped battery compartment, somewhere below its joint neck.
As the life came to the six eyes of the Robotic Cerberus, instead of barking like it was +designed, the middle head spoke in a human speech, and surprisingly, that too, in a The connection to the external battery isn\'t removed as he inserted the glowing cube, taken from his inventory, into the battery compartment. Mark felt like the cube needed a jumpstart.
The rest of the body was reassembled and then brought back to the testing space once again.
Landing on its back, Mark took a deep breath and reached out to the switch. <nulli>"Please, let it work… please let it work…"
Filled with nervousness, Mark switched it on and then jumped onto the ground.
A tremendous amount of electrical power was released by the 500 Ah Battery and entered the robot. The glowing cube glowed more brightly, powering up everything in a couple of seconds.
As the life came to the six eyes of the Robotic Cerberus, instead of barking like it was designed, the middle head spoke in a human speech, and surprisingly, that too, in a female pitch he was familiar with, "Big Brother, I can move…"
It let out a scream of delight as it extended its head toward Mark. Not being able to stop smiling, the latter touched the head and spoke, "Welcome back, Alina."
He doesn\'t need to question the three-headed robot further to ascertain that she is his Alina. "Sorry for taking so long."
"I missed you," replied Alina without feeling any discomfort in the body of a robotic dog.

<nullb>Meanwhile, at Lin Wuying\'s Mansion;
Allen was sitting on the window as he was silently staring at the sleeping beauty.
Usually, this can be considered creepy, but the android has yet to understand such logic of privacy. He was just savoring the moment as he found her more beautiful, for some reason.
There was warmness in his core and he couldn\'t stop smiling but it is quite difficult to understand what this new type of feeling he was experiencing. Taking Mark\'s lessons as advice, the android felt like this is probably Love.
He doesn\'t want to disturb her sleep and neither does he want to leave. Hence, during the whole night, he just stared at her, until it was dawn.
By the time he returned to the store, Mark was found to be asleep, but he wasn\'t alone in the store.
There was a 7-foot big three-headed robot dog lying in the living room, just like a dog does as it sleeps. There are a few books spread around it. One of them is opened.
Upon his entry, it quickly woke up and looked at the android, "Allen…"
Allen scanned it for a second and exclaimed in surprise, "Alina? Did Big Bro manage to integrate your core with it? Wow, he is really a genius."
"Hmpf, of course. My \'Mark\' is the trailblazer, crafting the weapons that will define the future," replied Alina filled with pride in her voice.
"Your Mark?" As Allen raised his eyebrow, Alina patted the floor with his right paw, "A figure of speech, Lover Boy. Accessed Mark\'s memories and saw that you want to become a human because of Lady Lin. You want to marry her, huh? I\'m really proud of you, my elder brother. You get to bang the beauty. I almost once had sex with Mark but you interrupted in a timely manner. Back then, I didn\'t think much but now, it seemed like that kissing was a good experience."
Allen blushed in embarrassment before scolding her, "Hey, watch your language, will you."
"Grow up, bro. When you become a human, you\'ll be an adult. Hence, you should also behave like one. According to these books, once you were lovers, you could hold hands and embrace each other every once in a while, and could only have sex after you married. Or you visit a brothel if you want non-commitment sex.
It was said that people often go there to experience it so that they get to perform better with their spouses. There were quite an amount of techniques described in the fourth novel. Even the main protagonist, Li An went there with his troublesome buddies. After turning into a human, I think you should…"
"I believe big bro told you to stop reading those erotic novels," interrupted Mark as he was too embarrassed to hear her anymore. Furthermore, she wasn\'t in Android form. Such words coming from a robotic Cerberus appeared even weirder.
Alina let out a sigh and her robotic heads collapsed on the floor as she replied, "I was too bored."
"Well, it won\'t be long before we leave this place. So, you just have to wait for a bit." Allen reminded her about the renovation while thinking about his upcoming new transformation.
Soon, Mark woke up from his sleep, freshened up, and sat for breakfast.
Allen sat patiently as Mark was having the food. He, however, became restless as every second of waiting felt like an hour.
Once Mark was done, Allen could no longer wait and reminded him about the upgrade.
Alina couldn\'t help herself teasing him again as soon as she saw the opportunity, "our dear Allen couldn\'t wait to prove his manhood to his lover, eh."
Allen got irritated quickly, "Would you stop being so dirty, Alina! Ever since you were reborn in this robotic Cerberus, your speech is becoming uncontrollable."
"Ho! Our dear bridegroom is getting angry…" As Alina continued to tease her older brother, Mark stopped her, "Okay, that\'s enough. Let\'s have a serious discussion. Allen, sit down."
As the android took his seat, Mark looked straight into his eyes and said, "Mark, before taking this decision, you should remember one thing. Once you become a human, there\'s no coming back, not because there isn\'t a way or something. It is because you are taking a decision on your own and I don\'t want you to have regrets. Whatever it might be, you will have to stick with your decision. Understood?"
Allen nodded firmly.
"Good. Then, let\'s get this done."
Mark opened the blueprint section and proceeded with the upgrade.
<nullb>*Ding! 1.3 million Credits have been deducted. <nullb>*Ding! System expansion is about to start in 5 seconds.
<nullb>*Ding! You completed the side quest III and received Staff of Blessing and Lamp of Wishes as a reward.
<nullb>*Ding! You received a new side quest.
