Beng Tie: What does it mean to broaden one's four destinies in one sentence?

Hiluva completely ignored his gaze.

She touched Schwarz's mech shell, tapped it up and down, and then, not satisfied with just tapping it, touched it up and down again.

He then leaned closer to examine the structure of the seam, looking thoughtful.

His expression was as if he had seen a toy worth taking apart and studying.

Clara looked at the woman in the leather jacket with curiosity and whispered, "Big sister, are you interested in Mr. Schwarz?"

Hiluva, interrupted from her thoughts, scratched the back of her head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Ah, haha. Clara, I'm just curious about the principles behind Mr. Schwarz's high level of intelligence."

She paused, then her eyes lit up again.

"Look at this joint structure and this reaction speed, this is completely unlike the technology of this era!"

Schwarzlo did not respond.

Oleg sighed, his face clearly saying, "Miss, can you be serious for once?"

Seeing the scene unfolding before her, Seele moved closer to Lin Si and whispered:

“Bronya, this lady… she…?”

Lin Si shrugged.

He could understand how Shiluwa felt.

If a technician suddenly discovers that the robot around him has developed its own thoughts, he would certainly be curious about what principle enables it to have autonomous consciousness.

After all, curiosity is the second driving force behind the development of human technology.

As for what the first one is?

Laziness, what else could it be?

"Ignore her, let's just talk about our own things."

Lin Si controlled Bronya to take half a step forward, raise her head, and look directly into Schwarz's electronic eyes.

"Swarovski, I have a question for you."

Schwarz turned around and looked at him.

The electronic eyes blinked, seemingly reassessing the clearance level of this "Upper Zone Silver Mane Iron Guard".

“Members of the Silvermane Iron Guard,” he said, “I will answer your questions as appropriate.”

This robot is quite arrogant.

Lin Si nodded.

"Regardless of how your logic modules work, I can roughly guess that you just want the people in the lower districts to live longer. Is that right?"

Schwarzkopf's single eye flashed red.

"Yes."

"Now there's an even better plan. What do you think?"

Schwarz did not reply, but the red light of his electronic eye remained steadily lit, clearly waiting for something to say.

Lin Si's lips curled into a smile.

"You and I, along with the people of the Earthfire, will gather all the mechanical guards you can, storm the Upper District, overthrow the current Grand Guardian, and allow the people of the Lower District to see the light of day again."

He spread his hands.

"how?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared at Bronya with astonishment.

Seele's mouth was open, as if she hadn't quite processed what was happening yet.

Oleg did not speak.

He glanced at Bronya's wide grin, lost in thought.

That smile... doesn't seem serious.

But it doesn't sound like a joke.

Hiluva and Clara also stopped their discussion and looked at her.

Schwarzkopf's electronic eyes flashed wildly.

"Analyzing the motivation behind the goals...Evaluation in progress..."

"Unknown motives...cannot be assessed..."

He remained silent for a full five seconds.

For a robot whose processing speed is measured in milliseconds, those five seconds felt like a system crash.

"Members of the Silvermane Iron Guard,"

He finally spoke.

"I have no intention of provoking a conflict."

Lin Si smiled.

"Seeking peace? Unfortunately, that's just your one-sided demand."

His tone suddenly turned cold.

"If I were to lead troops to attack the lower districts now, what would you do then?"

Upon hearing this, Seele was about to interject when Oleg tugged at her sleeve.

He shook his head, signaling her to be quiet.

Seele held her breath and swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Schwarzkopf's electronic eyes flashed even more intensely.

"Reassessment in progress... Target threat level increased."

His voice remained flat, but his speaking speed was noticeably faster.

"Members of the Silvermane Iron Guard are unable to resist the attacks from the upper districts in the lower districts, and will only increase casualties."

"Casualty assessment: More than 67% of the population lost. Conclusion: Unacceptable."

Lin Si shrugged.

"So tell me, if you want to stop me from leading my troops to attack the lower districts, what would you do?"

He paused.

"Let me tell you, I am the current commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, Bronya Rand."

After those words were spoken, the room fell silent again.

Schwarz looked at Clara.

The little girl was looking at him with a worried expression, her small hands gripping his mechanical leg.

He looked at Oleg again.

The middle-aged man had no expression, but his eyes were staring sharply at him.

Finally, he looked at Seele.

The member of the Earthfire team was shrugging his shoulders, clearly trying to suppress a laugh.

Schwarzlo fell silent.

Very silent.

The red light from the single eye above its head had dimmed slightly, as if it were performing some extremely complex calculation.

After a long while, he finally spoke.

This time, he even used honorifics.

"Commander Bronya, what is your request? Please speak."

Lin Si almost burst out laughing.

Sure enough, although this robot was incredibly intelligent, its logic modules were still straightforward.

You try to reason with him, and he just calculates probabilities with you.

If you flip the table, he'll have no choice but to negotiate with you.

What is this called?

This is called "social maneuvering!"

Simple and direct, but effective.

Seele secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Lin Si saw it, smiled, and ignored her.
