Wanjie Hotel: Iron Man is not allowed to charge

Chapter 177 Taking Down a Planet (7K views, please vote!)
The usually aloof and cool Miss 2B was completely stunned. She stared blankly at Wen Ming for several seconds before realizing that something seemed wrong: "Why, why didn't I think of that before?"

Wen Ming smiled and said, "That's because you have a soul."

Everything about you no longer revolves solely around the mission of the YoRHa forces. This is evident from the fact that you initially only wanted to eliminate machine lifeforms and rescue YoRHa's comrades, even at the cost of your life. You have found a more important mission and meaning in life for yourself.

You are no different from humans anymore.

"Is it really?"

Miss 2B couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.

9S said earnestly from the side, "I've been thinking this way ever since I saw the humans last night. I thought you and A2 thought the same way."

2B looked at A2, while A2 fell silent.

Qing Hou saw through A2's thoughts: "A2 and 2B, you are the same."

Her most important mission now is to avenge her comrades and kill more machine lifeforms, so she's no different from a human anymore.

2B and A2 exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes. Every YoRHa android dreams of having genuine emotions and a sense of purpose like real humans, and now they have unexpectedly gained the recognition of real humans.

"Congratulations on becoming a completely new life form."

Wen Ming, Qing Hou, and Ninth Brother congratulated the two. Miss 2B and Miss A2 blushed slightly, feeling an unprecedented sense of trepidation spreading throughout their bodies and even reaching their ethereal souls.

9S looked at the two of them with envy: "I wonder when I will be able to become a real human."

"That day shouldn't be far off."

Wen Ming rubbed his head, then looked at 2B: "Go, go find the commander."

Bring her the beginner's PowerPoint presentation, show her everything you've seen about humanity and the metaverse, and she'll make the right choice.

Qinghou also reminded her: "If she is unwilling to admit all this, then you should make all the information public in the bunker. After 9S saw humans, she became completely loyal to humans, and all the YoRHa units will definitely do the same."

YoRHa's mission is for the glory of humanity, so even if the command is unwilling to admit it, it cannot stop you from taking control of the YoRHa forces.

This is a trap set by the command itself.

"Wait for me! I'm coming right now!"

2B quickly calculated the probability of this plan succeeding, and then excitedly stood up to rush out, completely losing his usual composure.

Wen Ming reached out and stopped him, saying, "Just in case, I need to bring you some bodyguards."

Qinghou, Ninth Brother, Yuanbao, Noisy, Dizziness, Confusion, 9S, A2, Marcus, Max, you all go back with 2B.

"Qinghou, first upgrade the firewalls for Yuanbao, Chaonao, Xuanyun, and Miluan to prevent them from being hacked by the Commander."

"thanks, thanks."

Miss 2B almost didn't know how to express her gratitude. Such a powerful alliance, and with real humans accompanying her back, would definitely increase the credibility of the continued existence of humanity.

He's so thoughtful.

Not good with words, she could only express her feelings with the most sincere vow: "When I have accomplished everything, I will protect you with my life, Wenming!"

A2 stood up excitedly: "Once all mechanical life forms are destroyed, I will protect you forever!"

Wen Ming waved his hand and said, "You all have your own lives ahead of you, don't rush into decisions. Qinghou, are you done?"

"Okay, we can go now!"

At Qinghou's command, Yuanbao, Chaonao, Xuanyun, and Miluan all used their shrinking watches to transform into their smallest forms.

Qinghou hung them on her waist, then looked at 2B and A2: "Let's go, let me see that beautiful and mature female commander."

I have a feeling she'll soon become the boss's personal secretary.

Wen Ming looked at Qing Hou with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Don't be silly."

With a smile, Qinghou took 2B and A2's arm and walked out. Ninth Brother and 9S quickly followed, and Marcus and Max, who had rushed over, also followed closely behind.

In an instant, the once bustling office became empty.

Perkins smiled and looked at Wen Ming: "Boss, you really like this idiot, don't you?"

Wen Ming readily admitted, "Who wouldn't like such a beautiful young lady? Besides, she'll be your colleague in the future."

A strange light flashed in Perkins' eyes: "I remember, androids also have reproductive modules."

"Yes, a very complete reproductive module."

Wen Ming sat back in his office chair, turned on his computer, and prepared to take another look at the design drawings of the Flying Fortress.

Perkins suddenly leaned close to Wen Ming's ear and asked, "Boss, what if I also wear an eye patch and black stockings..."

"You can't become a fool either."

Wen Ming bluntly stated, "2B is one of a kind."

Perkins gave an "Oh," as if to say, "I see right through you: So, boss, you think this idiot..."

"Stop talking! Looks like I didn't slap you enough this morning!"

Wen Ming glared at Perkins, who immediately squatted down with a grin: "Boss, then hit me."

Wen Ming ignored Perkins and started a video call with Melina.

"boss."

"let us start."

"I made some adjustments to the overall layout last night, and with Haihou's help, I made a new plan. Boss, please take a look."

"Good, very good. This version of the plan is very thorough, hiss..."

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, let's continue."

……

Melina's new design is excellent. It takes into account the reasonable combination of all the functional areas of the flying fortress, and optimizes every passage and elevator to maximize space utilization and optimize resource utilization.

Wen Ming was very satisfied with this version of the plan: "Melina, my insistence on Natasha bringing you back was absolutely the right decision I ever made."

"It is an honor for me to join the hotel."

Seeing Wen Ming praising the new plan, Melina secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As a newcomer to the Iron Hotel, she was confident that she would be of great use to the hotel, but after witnessing the powerful protagonists and geniuses from various universes, she couldn't guarantee that Wen Ming would value her in the future.

Especially after learning that time travelers would be continuously strengthened, she realized that she might be eliminated in the future.

For her own sake, and even more so for her three daughters, Melina worked almost all night to finalize the new version of the plan.

Fortunately, the supercomputer behind the sea is very powerful. As long as it proposes a new idea, it can complete the optimization design for it in the shortest possible time, which greatly saves the drawing time.

"Melina, I hope you don't mind that I didn't let Natasha give the last spot to Alexei this time."

During the conversation, Wen Ming suddenly apologized.

Melina quickly shook her head and said, "It's okay. We always have to make choices. Besides, there's more to the movie's plot. Yelena and Antonia need to be rescued more."

"I hope you can understand."

Wen Ming breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The flirtatious scene in the movie was greasy and awkward; anyone who watched it would feel mortified. He wasn't sure if Melina and Alexei were just pretending to be a couple or if they had developed real feelings for each other, so he took the initiative to apologize for it, hoping to remove the thorn in Melina's heart.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

Indeed, sincerity is the most effective thing.

Time flew by as the two engaged in deep conversation. Before they knew it, Wen Ming heard a knock on the door. He patted Perkins on the shoulder, who swallowed hard, got up, and went to open the office door.

"Welcome, Commander White."

"Hello, Commander Wen Ming of the Metaverse Humanity!"

The commander of the Yorha Force, wearing 10cm high white over-the-knee boots, stood tall and straight like a sword in front of Wen Ming and greeted him politely.

Her demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, her gaze piercing, as if she could see into the deepest secrets of people's hearts. Her bright blue eyes sparkled with determination and wisdom.

The commander's elegant demeanor complemented her white dress embroidered with gold thread, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like a graceful figure dancing on the shores of Swan Lake, noble yet gentle.

The high slit design cleverly showcased her long, slender, white legs. Her snow-white skin was gently wrapped in black lace-trimmed stockings and silver-white knee-high boots, exuding the elegance and mystery of a mature and powerful commander.

Her makeup was so exquisite, it was like a mirage, blurring the line between reality and illusion.

Her lips were a vibrant yet elegant color, like a newly blossoming cherry blossom, pure and full of life. The contours of her face were perfectly defined, giving her both a commanding presence and feminine grace.

The commander seems to have perfectly blended the coldness of an android with the warmth of a human, making her existence an enigma that is difficult to decipher.

If 2B is a charming gothic princess, then the Commander is definitely an intellectual and noble queen.

She exudes a mature and sophisticated aura.

"I am not the commander of the metaverse humans, I am just an ordinary hotel owner."

Wen Ming smiled modestly, then led the group to their seats.

After Commander White sat down, she raised her swan-like neck and said, "I have read all the data, and I have seen many humans on my way upstairs."

Wen Ming remained silent, listening quietly as the other person continued speaking.

White looked at the man in front of her, trying to figure out what he was thinking, but all she saw was calmness and confidence. After a few seconds, she said, "I am willing to lead the YoRHa forces to pledge allegiance to you."

Wen Mingyang raised his eyebrows. Although he knew from games and anime that Commander White was very decisive in dealing with matters, he did not expect that the other party would make up his mind so quickly.

2B and 9S, standing behind Commander White, both showed happy expressions, and A2 also breathed a sigh of relief.

What are your conditions?

Wen Ming didn't mince words; he knew all too well that for this type of power holder, everything required exchanging interests.

"According to the rules of the metaverse space rift that I have seen, I, 2B, A2, and 9S will most likely become your employees because I was destined to die but did not."

I just asked Qing, and she told me that a similar situation had occurred in the Elysium universe, which means that our universe will soon be shut down and we will never be able to communicate again.

So, how can you guarantee that our universe can be saved? How can you guarantee that humanity can reproduce again in our universe?

White didn't directly state his conditions, but instead first expressed his concerns.

Wen Ming was also surprised that the other party had been able to predict the future in such a short time. He truly deserved to be called a leader-type android.

After thinking for a moment, Wen Ming said, "First of all, the plot can be pushed back."

Wen Ming's words surprised White: "Wasn't it bound to happen?"

"It is bound to happen, but it can be postponed."

Wenming recounted the story of Arthur the Clown to White, and then said, "As long as Arthur isn't arrested and put on trial, the first part of his story won't end."

White nodded slightly: "And then?"

"Secondly, the androids don't only have your No. 13 orbital satellite bunker as a base. There are also resistance forces on the ground. As long as you can find a character among the androids who can be taken out of the NieR: Automata universe without taking up a slot, then this universe can continue to be connected."

I think the rebel leader, Yinlian, is quite good.

Wen Ming's words made White's beautiful eyes light up, but then she became somewhat sad: "But this also means that 2B, A2, 9S and I can never return to our universe."

The fact that she could fulfill the millennia-old dream of androids, yet couldn't witness it firsthand, left her momentarily flustered.

"Believe me, I will find a way sooner or later to allow you to return to your own universe."

Wen clearly revealed strong confidence: "As I find more and more time-space treasures, that day won't be far off."

White observed Wen Ming carefully, trying to find any trace of lying in him, but she couldn't find any no matter what she did.

She suddenly felt a sense of relaxation, and her usually upright back involuntarily relaxed at that moment: "I will accompany you to find the key to home."

Her voice was firm.

2B, A2, and 9S also chimed in, "And us too."

Ninth Brother immediately stepped forward: "Me too." Wen Ming smiled happily: "This is the ultimate dream of all the guests at the Iron Hotel."

After everyone's emotions had calmed down a bit, White said, "My condition is that all members of our YoRHa forces obtain true souls."

2B, A2, and 9S looked at Commander White in surprise. Even A2, who had always harbored resentment towards White, couldn't help but soften his gaze at this moment.

The YoRHa unit and the androids only have simulated emotions; in fact, the YoRHa unit lacks an AI system compared to ordinary androids.

Although 2B, A2, and White are very close to humans and can be considered a completely new life form, their souls cannot be considered complete human souls. They can only be said to be infinitely close, but not yet.

Wen Ming nodded and said, "That is also my wish."

The birth of Qinghou, Ninth Brother, and Yuanbao's souls was largely due to chance and coincidence. An angel once warned me that this was God's authority, but I am willing to make the effort for it.

White finally smiled happily: "I believe you."

Seeing White's outstretched right hand, Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief and shook it: "Welcome to the team, Commander White."

"Can I call you 'boss' now?"

White suddenly tilted her head, like a mischievous little girl, and Wen Ming couldn't help but laugh and say, "Okay."

"So, boss, I still need to give you a final test."

White's words surprised Wen Ming, but he remained respectful. If it were him, he would definitely have been just as composed: "What do you want to test?"

"Could you ask them all to leave? Just the two of us, well, it would be best if we went to your bedroom."

White glanced at Qinghou and 2B.

Wen Ming was somewhat surprised; was this test to be conducted in the bedroom?
He hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "You all go and rest. White and I will leave for a while."

The commander is not a combat-type android, and Wen Ming is confident that he can suppress her.

White looked apologetically at Wen Ming, Qing Hou, and the others: "I'm sorry, this test may take, well, according to what I read in the book, as short as three minutes or as long as one or two hours. The time may be a little uncertain, and I hope everyone can understand."

Qinghou looked at White with a puzzled expression, constantly calling on Haihou's computing power to calculate what White wanted to test and how long it would take from three minutes to one or two hours.

Soon, Qinghou deduced a possibility, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips: "2B, A2, 9S, I'll take you to visit the boss's laboratory."

Although 2B, A2, and 9S were also puzzled, they all obediently stood up and followed Qinghou away.

Perkins wanted to follow Wen Ming, but Wen Ming refused, saying, "Don't worry, White won't hurt me."

Perkins stared intently at White: "If you dare to hurt the boss, I'll tear all your androids apart."

White smiled slightly, offering no explanation.

After everyone had left, Wen Ming pushed open the bedroom door and led White inside: "How can I cooperate with you?"

"Please take off your clothes."

White's voice trembled slightly, but her words made Wen Ming turn around in surprise: "Walter? What did you say?"

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw infinite holy light.

He couldn't believe what he saw.

This holy light is so beautiful.

It's as perfect as a work of art.

"What, what are you going to do?" Wen Ming couldn't help but swallow, constantly reminding himself, this is an artificial human, this is an artificial human, this is an artificial human!

“I need to verify that you are not a machine lifeform or other androids trying to deceive me. I am responsible for all members of the YoRHa Force.” White’s beautiful face was serious, but a slight blush betrayed her true feelings.

"Then why take off your clothes? Can't you just scan me directly?"

"No, all of those can be faked. There's only one thing that mechanical life forms and androids have been unable to do for tens of thousands of years."

"what?"

……

"Qinghou, why do you think she spent an hour or two alone with the boss? What is she trying to prove with that much time?"

Perkins was still somewhat uneasy and followed Qing Hou closely, constantly asking questions.

A mysterious smile flashed across Qinghou's lips: "I can only tell you that I have calculated a testing method with a probability of up to 99.99%, and with this testing method, the boss will only get happiness."

"What's a way to test whether the boss is happy?"

Perkins felt his brain was starting to fail him: "Inspection? How can that make the boss happy?"

"Therefore, you are not suited to develop superpowers. You should just obediently learn magic."

Aoko's words nearly brought Perkins to tears: "Why am I not suited to unleashing superpowers? I want to fire a cannon like Misaka Mikoto!"

"You can forget about it for the rest of your life. You'll only ever be the one getting shot at by your boss."

Qinghou shook her head, then introduced to 2B and the others beside her: "What you see now is the supercomputer I obtained from the 'A Certain Magical Index' universe. This computer is the most valuable treasure of our Iron Hotel. From now on, when you come here, you will have to come here often to take turns guarding it."

This computer can help you calculate the optimal optimization and maintenance plan; you won't even need to restart repeatedly, as it will tell you the optimal evolutionary path.

Upon hearing this, 2B, A2, and 9S immediately became serious. Having been born from the bunker, they naturally understood just how important the core server room was.

"The laboratories here are protected with the same level of security as supercomputers. Every research project here could create the world's richest person if it were applied to the human world."

For example, we possess highly advanced cloning technology, which is in no way inferior to the replication technology in your universe, and at a lower cost.

If you want to realize Commander White's vision of sending humans into your universe and allowing them to reproduce in the shortest possible time, then cloning technology is the most suitable. However, this technology needs to be adjusted, and the cultivation period needs to be extended; otherwise, clones will have very short lifespans.

The cloning technology in "A Certain Magical Index" was so advanced that the clones were rushed to grow into 20000 Misaka Sisters that their lifespans were too short, and the surviving Misaka Sisters all needed treatment later on.

Humans are needed in the NieR: Automata universe, but not so urgently, because the mechanical lifeform forces on the ground still need to be eliminated. Therefore, clones can be cultivated in the bunker for a longer period of time, so that the lifespan of the mature clones will be no different from that of natural humans.

"Don't worry, the target of cloning will not be just one person. We will try our best to select DNA from different people as samples. Moreover, you also have genetic information of previous humans. This way, we can create a diverse human society instead of clones with identical faces."

The words of the Queen of Light caused 2B and A2 to show expressions of extreme excitement.

Are humans finally going to return to our universe?
Is YoRHa's mission about to be fulfilled?
……

"2B, is it 2B?"

A group of people were touring the lab when a voice came from inside. They turned around and saw Tony looking at 2B with a look of surprise on his face.

When Tony saw A2 next to 2B, his eyes lit up again.

This girl is even more likely to evoke a man's protective instincts than 2B.

"You're A2? I've read your story, and I sympathize with what you've been through."

Tony put down his research work, took off his glasses, and walked up to the group with his most handsome smile: "Do you have time for lunch? Let's have lunch together?"

I'm very interested in your universe, and I feel I can help you resist that logic virus.

Ever since Tony met 2B and had his AI Jarvis controlled by her in the blink of an eye, he has been working hard to study the background information of the NieR: Automata game universe. He is confident that he can easily win over this beautiful young lady.

"No, we still need to wait for the commander and the boss."

2B politely declined Tony's invitation, which annoyed Tony. Why couldn't he flirt with these pretty girls at the Iron Hotel?
He then looked at A2, who shook his head coolly: "I have more important things to do."

Tony was so angry he started blowing his beard.

I gave up my research on the Iron Man armor just to have a meal with you guys. My business is more important than yours.

Where is Wen Ming?

Tony, trying to save face, asked Wen Ming about it. Qinghou smiled and said, "The boss is talking to Commander White of the YoRHa forces."

"The commander has arrived?"

Thinking of White, that super mature woman, and her hot figure, Tony couldn't sit still any longer: "Are they in the office? I also want to talk to Commander White about the Logic Virus."

The numbers 92, 61, and 94 had long been ingrained in his mind through enhanced memory.

He thought it would be a long time before he met this character who was destined to die, but he didn't expect that the other party would arrive now.

I really need to make a good friend of him.

Qinghou suppressed a laugh: "They're in the boss's bedroom."

"Walter?"

Tony's eyes widened: "Talking in the bedroom?"

Tony suspected that the Queen was teasing him, but seeing that neither 2B nor A2 denied it, he felt a sudden pang in his heart.

Fake!

It can not be!

That super mature and queen-like commander is currently in Wen Ming's bedroom.

Is it on his big bed?
Fake!

What exactly are they talking about?

Tony felt like his back teeth were about to shatter.

Qinghou shrugged: "I'm not sure, but it might take several hours to talk?"

"a couple of hours?"

Tony scoffed: "Wen Ming is that amazing? I don't believe it."

Qinghou nodded and said, "So, Commander White wants to test how long this in-depth exchange can last."

Tony was struck dumb.

Did the commander take the initiative to speak?

Fake!

I can't stay in this hotel anymore, I need to go back to find my cover girl.

……

After leaving the distraught Tony behind, the Queen of Blue led the group on a tour of the lab. When they arrived at Bulma's lab, the Queen of Blue was somewhat surprised: "Bulma, didn't you take Antonia and Yelena to see the dinosaurs? Harley, what are you doing here?"

"I dropped them off and came right back. Oh, right, Index and Misaka Mikoto went with them too."

Bulma didn't even look up, her eyes shining as she stared at the POD blueprints in front of her: "I don't have time to go see dinosaurs with them. I don't want to see such terrifying things."

After receiving the POD blueprints, my POD replication and modification project will be completed soon. The only remaining issue is integrating the miniaturized medical pod functionality. I've basically solved that problem; give me a day, and I can produce a more advanced version of the POD.

Harley, who was standing nearby, seized the opportunity to ask, "So, is it okay to transform her into a little angel?"

"Of course, no problem! And your idea is great. It makes it easier for people to accept. I watched the movie 'Big Hero 6,' and the Baymax character was pretty good too."

"How about making it have two forms? Normally it's a cute pet, and during treatment it's an angel. That way, the ritualistic aspect of the treatment will be emphasized."

Bulma's words made Harley's eyes light up: "You're so smart!"

Queen Green knew Harley was up to something, but she didn't expose her.

After all, she's stirring things up too.

Thinking of this, she looked at 2B, A2, and 9S beside her, and then at Harley: "Harley, let me introduce you. These will be our new partners in the future."

Harley immediately broke into a big smile: "Are you also newbies who were rescued from the darkness by the boss?"

9S was a little confused. 2B and A2 exchanged a glance and then said together, "That's right, the boss saved us."

Harley immediately perked up: "Come on, let me tell you some things about the boss. You don't want to know nothing about the boss when you work at the hotel, right?"

2B and A2 nodded in unison: "We'd love to."

Queen Green and Harley exchanged a glance and both smiled happily.

Golden Dawn is about to grow stronger again.
