Quick Transmigration: Playing the Role of a Devoted Tool
Chapter 083 The Monster's Keeper
The feeling of suffocation grew stronger. Qi Ran gripped the tentacle around her neck, kicked her feet, and tried to hook the alarm on the instrument, but the monster noticed her.
It then conjured several more tentacles, binding Qi Ran's hands and feet to prevent him from succeeding.
As she struggled to breathe, tears welled up in Qi Ran's eyes, sliding down her cheeks and landing on the monster's tentacles.
For some reason, the force loosened.
Qi Ran immediately tore off the tentacles, scrambled to the corner of the wall, and collapsed to the ground, coughing weakly.
The monster rolled behind Qi Ran, creating a mouth-like opening, and bit Qi Ran's foot. However, it couldn't swallow it and had to spit it out. It circled around Qi Ran, seemingly considering where to start biting.
"Cough cough... Get away." Qi Ran kicked it away.
The monster didn't understand what that meant.
He jumped up and landed on Qi Ran's head.
Qi Ran: "........"
"System, what does it mean?"
I think it's saving the food because it can't eat it now, but will eat it later.
Qi Ran was both amused and exasperated.
So it turns out they thought he was food.
Qi Ran turned around and picked up the black ball.
This time, the black ball didn't attack Qi Ran. Instead, it extended a tentacle, touched the bruise on Qi Ran's neck, and decided it was better to keep it for a fresh meal.
Qi Ran felt as if she had understood the monster's meaning.
In the office, Kaya watched what had just happened and almost went out to stop it.
But Tomina called out to her.
"A high salary isn't something you can get so easily." Tomina sat in front of the monitor, her expression unreadable, but her tone gentle.
"Dean, he's just a newcomer. Shouldn't he be raising more docile species?" Kaya asked.
The dean's arrangement actually went beyond the scope of his duties.
According to the standards of the orphanage, Qi Ran does not need to come into contact with harmful species.
However, the dean assigned the unknown monster with two stars to Qi Ran.
Just a few minutes earlier, the boy had almost been strangled to death.
"Kaya, you've been talking a bit too much today," Tomina warned her with a glance.
"I'm sorry," Kaya said, bowing her head in apology.
"You're an android, you don't need to think for me." Tomina looked at Kaya with displeasure. This latest android has self-repair technology and a combat mode.
Compared to ordinary androids, Kaya is undoubtedly the most agile, but sometimes she thinks too much, which disgusts him.
"Go down."
After Kaya left, she glanced at the time. It would be lunchtime soon, and she would probably go to the cafeteria.
Thinking of the wound on the boy's neck, Kaya went to the infirmary to buy medicine and waited at the corner where Qi Ran passed by.
"Kaya." Qi Ran walked towards him as expected, her voice sounding off, probably because she was too badly injured.
"Your neck." Kaya's eyes turned cold as she pulled the boy to her side. "Don't let your guard down next time. Monsters have no feelings."
"Okay, thank you, Sister Kaya." Qi Ran stood obediently, slightly raising her chin so that Kaya could apply the medicine to her.
Kaya's fingers were long and had intelligent temperature control, making them warm and cozy. She gently spread the medicine, but the coolness made Qi Ran shiver.
"It'll be ready in a minute. What do you want to eat? It's on me," Kaya said, withdrawing her fingertips.
"Shall I treat you, Sister Kaya?" Qi Ran didn't want Kaya to always treat him. Although he didn't have many star coins, he could afford to eat.
"Okay." Kaya smiled and put her arm around Qi Ran's shoulder as they headed to the cafeteria.
Qi Ran's height is considered normal, but next to the ultimate android, she inevitably appears much smaller.
When they arrived at the cafeteria, Qi Ran looked around and chose a dish she hadn't tried before, and Kaya also ordered one.
The two sat in a quiet corner by the window.
Qi Ran took a bite; this time it was a bit spicy, but he liked it.
Seeing that Qi Ran was enjoying her meal, Kaya couldn't help but reach out and tug at Qi Ran's bangs between her eyebrows, then took out a small clip to hold her hair back so it wouldn't block her eyes.
"Thank you." Qi Ran's bangs were indeed a bit long; this looks much better.
"You're welcome." Kaya rested her chin on her hands, watching the boy eat as if she were admiring a very cute animal.
After dinner, there is a two-hour rest period. Apart from not being allowed to leave the orphanage, Qi Ran can go to the orphanage's movie theater and game room to play. If she gets bored, she can go to the swimming pool and bar.
There are also android services available for adults, and the prices are reasonable.
Kaya didn't mention this, fearing that the boy might become attracted to the androids specifically designed for service.
She's no less impressive, after all, she's an all-around android with the most advanced technology and systems.
She can satisfy Qi Ran's any orientation, as long as he is willing.
After parting ways with Kaya, Qi Ran went to the library.
The orphanage's library was large, but it wasn't an old-world book library; rather, it was a kind of reading instrument.
Once worn, you only need to lie in a chair to access tens of thousands of years of human civilization knowledge through your brain-computer interface.
You can download anything you're looking for.
There were so many points of knowledge that Qi Ran was completely confused.
He felt dizzy when he took off the equipment and almost fell to the ground, but luckily someone caught him.
"Are you alright?" The young man sat down with a sigh, his voice deep and magnetic, so captivating it was almost like his ears were pregnant.
"That's how it is the first time you connect, but it'll get better after that. Are you a new employee?"
"Ah...yes, thank you." Qi Ran finally came to her senses, shook hands with the other person, and said, "My name is Qi Ran."
"You can just call me Darrell. I was born on Colony 9 and grew up on Granz. You look like an Earthling."
"Yes, how did you figure that out?" Qi Ran asked curiously.
Darrell smiled and touched Qi Ran's hair, which was jet black and a beautiful color.
"It's very rare to see pure black hair these days. You know, people often get their hair modified to be unique, making it color-changing, shiny, or metallic."
Qi Ran had indeed seen it on the spaceship; many people had metal hair, and he had assumed they were androids.
"Isn't Earth running out of energy? How is it over there? Can people still survive there?" Darrell asked curiously.
He has never been to Earth, but he has read many reports about it.
"It's alright, everyone is working hard to maintain it." Qi Ran still remembered being stunned when she saw the Earth's environment.
With the overexploitation of technology, Earth's energy has been exploited to its extreme, to the point that it is no different from a dead tree.
It's not that survival is impossible, it's just that it's somewhat difficult.
Many people are willing to protect the environment, and although the effects are small, they are gradually restoring the ecosystem.
Darrell laughed and said, "You should go check out Colony 9. It's a resort town and a great place to live."
"Really? If there's a chance." Qi Ran nodded.
"Come on, would you like to take a look at my lab?" Darrell invited.
Qi Ran asked in surprise, "May I go for a visit?"
"certainly."
Darrell took Qi Ran to his laboratory.
His laboratory was huge, resembling a tropical rainforest, with a metal walkway running through the middle, unprotected on either side, allowing him to observe the highly venomous monsters around him in a completely immersive way.
Qi Ran: "........."
Did the snake want to bite him?
Does that toad with light bulb-like eyes, perched on the tree bark, want to spit on him?
Qi Ran followed Darrell closely and asked, "You have to take care of so many people?"
"There aren't many. They're all monsters on the verge of extinction on this planet. They're quite cute, though some are rather mischievous. But there's an antidote for the toxin, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
