One hundred million nanorobots

After dark, my parents gradually came home from get off work.

They didn't notice anything unusual about Jiang Yuan, but they felt that their son seemed to be in a good mood today.

At the dinner table, the father asked Jiang Yuan when he was going back to school.

Jiang Yuan said he has already booked train tickets for the end of August.

Now, it's his last summer vacation before graduating from Gangwon University. Next, he should look for a job and officially enter the workforce.

The father was quite worried about Jiang Yuan's future.

In recent years, China's economy has been in a very bad state, and it has become commonplace for college graduates to be unemployed. Many graduates choose to stay at home and rely on their parents because they have failed to find jobs.

In today's society, it's actually quite normal for people to rely on their parents for financial support.

After all, young people have exhausted all their energy just to survive. They get up earlier than chickens and go to bed later than dogs, yet the money they earn each month is far less than the retirement pensions of the elderly people who exercise in the park in the morning. And their health is not as good either.

However, the family is still burdened with a heavy mortgage, and the father hopes that Jiang Yuan can become independent as much as possible.

Of course, if it's really hard to find a job, parents won't force them.

Jiang Yuan was preoccupied with the little one left in the room, so he listened absentmindedly. He casually comforted his parents, saying that they didn't understand economics and it was normal for them not to be able to predict the rise and fall of housing prices. Then he made an excuse and went back to his own room.

The little guy sat cross-legged on the table like a little monk, looking very diligent.

"Are you connected to the internet?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"The interference is severe, the signal is too weak and very unstable," the little guy said with a hint of helplessness as he opened his eyes.

Weak signal?

Jiang Yuan glanced at his phone subconsciously. The Wi-Fi signal was full, and the 5G signal was also full. It was clearly not weak at all.

But then I thought, the little guy is, after all, an alien robot, and there might be incompatibility issues with Earth's network, so who knows?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan smiled and comforted the little guy, saying, "Don't rush, take your time."

"Once I'm connected to the internet, I'll first download language-related knowledge. In addition, I'll also stock up on math, physics, chemistry, mechanics, electronics, chemistry, literature, life sciences, and the like. Anyway, in today's society, knowledge is wealth, and the more the better."

Ah!

The little guy nodded solemnly in agreement, and it was clear that he had put all his effort into connecting to the network. Jiang Yuan didn't intend to put too much pressure on him.

Jiang Yuan just didn't understand why an alien robot, whose technology was far superior to Earth's, had such difficulty connecting to the internet.

……

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and when Jiang Yuan woke up, it was already close to noon.

Jiang Yuan's parents went to work early, and the house was quiet. He stretched, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

The sun shines brightly outside the window, the huge artificial lake ripples with light, rows of lush green sycamore trees dot the lakeside, and further away are layers of rolling hills.

His parents took out a loan to buy this house, which cost them a lot of money, turning him from a poor second-generation heir into a second-generation heir in debt. But after years of construction and development, the scenery in the new urban area is not bad, which is some consolation.

Suddenly~

Jiang Yuan, who was brushing his teeth, suddenly froze.

How could I see the distant mountains clearly even though I wasn't wearing my glasses?

Could it be that my eyesight has recovered?!

Jiang Yuan spat out the toothpaste foam from his mouth and hurriedly went to the balcony where the view was better.

The lake, the shadows of the trees, the clouds, the mountains, the streets outside the community, the vehicles and pedestrians on the streets, and even the clothing of the pedestrians are all clearly visible.

Jiang Yuan almost burst into tears of joy.

So this is what it feels like to be able to see a little girl on the street without glasses.

After all, no matter how expensive the lens is, it will still have a coating, refraction, and curvature issues, and the image will be completely different from what the human eye sees.

Jiang Yuan stood gazing at the scenery outside the window for a long time before rubbing his eyes and returning to his room.

The black-rimmed resin glasses were on the table. Jiang originally wanted to throw them directly into the trash can, but out of caution, he opened the drawer and put the glasses in.

Sitting in the chair, Jiang Yuan smiled and stared at the little guy.

"Master, why are you looking at me like that? Did I do something wrong?"

The little guy noticed that Jiang Yuan's gaze was burning, which was clearly different from last night, so he spoke with fear, like a child who had made a mistake.

"Thank you."

"It made me see the real world again," Jiang Yuan said sincerely.

Uh…

Thanks?

My master is actually thanking me?

The little guy seemed very awkward. In the concept of the Valencian civilization, robots were completely appendages of their masters, slaves, without any rights or status.

Now, this young Earthling not only never showed any condescension, but even sincerely thanked himself for the smallest work achievement.

This sense of friendliness is something that never existed in the Barenshiva civilization, and is even completely unimaginable.

In the Valencian civilization, a robot's mission is to fulfill its master's orders at all costs. If the robot fails to meet its master's expectations, or if the master is in a bad mood, the robot will be thrown into the recycling furnace and incinerated for regeneration.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, the little guy felt a surge of warmth in his heart, a feeling of being pampered and valued that he had never experienced before.

It seems I came into this world unexpectedly, and it's quite different from the past.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment before saying, "I have complete confidence in your abilities. We don't need to wait for the physical examination to finish; we can proceed with the next step of the plan now."

The little guy nodded repeatedly, "No problem. As long as the master is willing, the nanobots can perform multiple tasks at the same time without interfering with each other."

Jiang Yuan said "Oh," and then quickly grabbed the mouse with his right hand and opened the page he had already selected.

"I made some plans last night when you were trying to connect to the internet."

Specifically, it can be divided into three aspects: muscles, bones, and facial features.

"Muscles need to be strengthened, but don't make them look like those gym monsters with frighteningly large muscles. Just have a thin layer of muscle."

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he opened the image and displayed the effect he wanted.

Simply put, it means looking slim in clothes but having muscles when undressed; the body is slightly thin but has abs and well-defined muscle lines.

As for fair-skinned, tender young men, Jiang Yuan has never considered them.

Based on his aesthetic preferences, he still believes that men should be rugged and stylish, and have a strong masculine aura.

He then opened another diagram of the human skeleton and said to the little guy, "Bone strength and fascia toughness also need to be strengthened. I don't know much about the specifics, but I would be satisfied if his athletic ability could approach that of an average athlete."

Jiang Yuan's athletic ability has always been average, whether it's playing basketball, running, or high jumping, he's always been in the lower middle of his class.

Improving physical fitness isn't because Jiang Yuan wants to shine on the court, but because physical health is truly important; it's the foundation for a living.

If you're physically weak and get out of breath after just a few steps, or if you have a girlfriend but your back aches after only a couple of days, then you're really a useless person.

There's a famous question on Zhihu: What's it like to have a girlfriend or boyfriend who is a sports student?

After reading it, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that the difference between people could be greater than that between a person and a dog.

You might think that Shichiro is just a legend, but for those guys with highly developed physical abilities, playing Shichiro every night is just commonplace.

Since realizing the differences between people, Jiang Yuan has been consciously controlling his diet and increasing his daily physical activity.

Unfortunately, for ordinary people, losing weight and exercising are really not easy.

Despite his efforts, Jiang Yuan's physique and physical abilities have not changed much.

Now that we have a little one, we don't need to eat broccoli and boiled chicken breast every day to have muscles and a strong physique. Of course, we should make good use of this amazing thing.

However, due to Jiang Yuan's cautious nature, he did not dare to ask for too much. He would be satisfied as long as he could approach the level of an ordinary athlete.

Finally, there's appearance.

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan opened the last picture, which he had studied for a long time last night before finally deciding on it.

The image shows an AI-generated face that looks at least 90% similar to Jiang Yuan's current appearance, only slightly more refined. If you don't look closely, you can't tell the difference at all.

Although they look similar, their energy and spirit are very different.

The person in the picture exudes a carefree and decisive air, and their eyes convey confidence and composure.

In fact, at first, Jiang Yuan also wanted to have delicate facial features and a handsome appearance.

But after thinking it over, he still felt that he was already used to his own face, and it wasn't something shameful to show off. To be on the safe side, he should just do some minor grooming to improve his appearance. He had been playing a lot of games lately, and when he looked in the mirror, he could clearly feel a bit listless.

Mmm~

"Don't worry, Master!"

"I can definitely do it!"

"My mission is to meet my master's needs!"

The little guy listened to Jiang Yuan's ideas and nodded repeatedly.

The little guy was deeply moved by Jiang Yuan's attitude towards him, and at this moment he felt an urge to repay his master wholeheartedly, even at the cost of his own life.

So much so that when Jiang Yuan said that a thin layer of muscle was enough, the little guy was thinking about achieving the highest strength with the smallest muscle mass.

When Jiang Yuan said that the bones and fascia should be similar to those of an ordinary athlete, the little guy imagined the most powerful athletes on Earth.

When Jiang Yuan said that as long as one's facial features are slightly modified and one's energy and spirit are enhanced so as not to appear listless, the little guy immediately thought of the super leader in the movie who leads a legion of millions of elites.

Sometimes, things just go wrong not because subordinates aren't trying, but because they're trying too hard.

Back then, Ban Chao's brother found him a job as a secretary in the government, where he would write speeches for the leaders and draw up arrest warrants and such.

As a result, Ban Chao was not content with being a secretary and insisted on striving for advancement, so he went to accompany Dou Gu on a mission to the Western Regions.

It was one thing to send someone to the Western Regions, but Ban Chao, this fellow, once again tried to make a name for himself. Instead of being a proper envoy, he insisted on going to help our Han Dynasty expand its territory.

As if he had a cheat code, Ban Chao went on a rampage in the west, and spent thirty years destroying fifty-five large and small kingdoms in the Western Regions!

Keep in mind that the entire mission that went to the Western Regions with Ban Chao consisted of only thirty-six people...

"To meet the master's requirements, we need to deploy 954 nanobots."

After much thought and careful calculation, the little guy finally gave the answer.

Nine hundred and fifty-four!

So many!?

Jiang Yuan felt a pang of regret at the cost of the numbers. He never expected that his simple desire to improve his health, without any excessive demands, would require so many nanobots.

But upon closer reflection, Jiang Yuan felt relieved.

Body modification is a major project. Just 954 nanobots can comprehensively improve muscle and athletic ability, so it's not a bad deal for me.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Yuan decided to introduce six nanobots into his body every day to gradually modify him.

This way, there will be a little change every day, but it won't be too abrupt or attract attention, achieving a subtle and gradual effect.

Calculations show that it will take a total of 159 days, or a little over five months, to complete the entire plan.

As for the number of available nanobots he possesses, that number has decreased again.

Only 99,999,041 remain…
