I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

"Are you a robot?"

Lu Ban held her down and asked.

To prevent a scenario where a robot, after playing the role for too long, mistakenly believes itself to be human and then goes berserk, he first asked.

If the other party insists that she is human, then Lu Ban might have to let her rest for a while.

"……Yes!"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the girl broke into a bright smile, then stood up straight and spoke in a very full and resonant voice.

"Welcome to Future City Eco-Park. I am Lin, the guardian of the eco-park. I am happy to guide you through the park. Please join me in stepping into the world of nature."

This appears to be the robot's self-introduction.

Lin sounds like an Eastern name.

Her appearance was also similar to that of an East Asian, with smooth black hair, deep black eyes, and fair skin. She looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, which was the most endearing age for a child.

Judging from her appearance alone, apart from some joints, you wouldn't guess she's a robot. Her eyes are lively, and her skin has a radiant glow, just like a real little girl.

At this moment, Lu Ban also noticed.

The animals in this park are all fake.

They're all robots.

Due to advanced technology, at first glance, these creatures appear to be real, with body temperature, responding to external stimuli, and even interacting with the plants in the ecological park.

But upon closer observation, one can only find that their movements are sometimes wooden, like soulless puppets.

Even those plants themselves are nothing more than machine-made imitations; though realistic, they are ultimately fake.

"Your name is Lin?"

Shuangxin asked. She didn't know anything about robots, but judging from the feeling the other person gave off, Shuangxin thought that this child was not an ordinary human.

"Yes, you are... the 6,666th and 6,667th guests of Future City Eco-Park. It's a pleasure to serve you!"

After a brief moment of thought, Lin smiled again.

"The six thousandth guest... which means that more than six thousand people have visited here before this?"

Suddenly, anticipation welled up in Shuangxin's eyes.

If someone visited this place before, does that mean that humans from before the catastrophe survived and were able to bring brilliant technology to help people escape their current predicament?

“Yes, since the start of the stay at Future City, I have hosted more than 6,000 guests, and their satisfaction rate with the eco-park has reached 99%. This is the result of Lin and everyone’s hard work.”

The robot girl spoke fluently.

"Everyone?"

Shuangxin's breathing became rapid.

"Are there other people here?"

A thought suddenly popped into her mind: perhaps before the catastrophe, humans lived in such enclosed buildings, escaping various calamities until today.

She didn't understand robots, but the girl's performance had already surpassed her understanding. Ancient people who could do these things might have been able to do even more.

They might even be studying insect swarms.

"Are you looking for information on the residential situation in Future City?"

Lin asked.

"Correct."

Lu Ban answered directly on behalf of Shuang Xin.

"A total of 1,673 residents have logged into Future City. Currently, the number of people living in Future City is zero."

Lin said in a lively and cheerful voice.

"Have all the Zero People... already left?"

Shuangxin's eyes dimmed slightly.

"Indeed, so many years have passed, they must have left long ago."

"The ecological park has very exciting performances. If you want to watch them, you can wait until 7 p.m.

Lin continued her introduction.

"In addition, there is a restaurant in Building A3 that can provide food services. If you two have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Besides being the guardian of the ecological park, I am also the steward of Future City. Providing you with the best service is my greatest pursuit."

She remained as radiant as ever, seemingly oblivious to what was happening outside.

"There's food."

Lu Ban was wide awake at the mention of food.

Although I don't know if food that's been stored for hundreds of years is still edible, I still have to go and check it out.

After discussing it with Shuangxin, they decided to go and check first. If they found anything edible, they would then call Gezhe and Shana over. This could be considered taking the lead, risking their lives, and going to great lengths for their teammates.

"Let's go check out the restaurant first, and while we're at it, take a look at the houses here."

"Okay, take care, you two."

Lin bent over deeply, and even after Lu Ban and Shuang Xin left the ecological park, she still didn't straighten up.

Chapter 490 Coupons

"That... robot, can it really operate for this long?"

As she left the ecological park, Shuangxin glanced back and asked.

"If there's an energy supply, it should be about right?"

Lu Ban felt that electronic products don't have a very long lifespan. A mobile phone would break down after four or five years. But then he thought that if these consumer electronics products were very durable, then the merchants probably wouldn't make any money. So maybe these things are intentionally made to have such a short lifespan.

Because things like space telescopes and artificial satellites can operate for decades in the harsh environment of space, Lu Ban felt that people weren't incapable of creating such durable things; it was just a matter of whether they wanted to or not.

Not to mention, the technological level of Future City should have already surpassed his era; perhaps the robots here can even repair themselves automatically.

Upon arriving at Building A3, Lu Ban swiped his card to open the door.

This place is more like a food street or a commercial street than a restaurant.

The shops inside were dazzling and made Lu Ban feel like he was home.

However, the store was full of robots, which were not as exquisite as Lin's and had a more mechanical feel. They sat quietly in the store, like tombstones.

Lu Ban arrived at the entrance of a shop that sold noodles, and he swiped his card.

"What kind of noodles would you like, sir/madam?"

Lu Ban ordered two bowls of the same beef noodles, wondering what would be served.

A moment later, the robot turned around and stood in front of the two.

"I'm very sorry, but we are unable to make beef ramen due to insufficient ingredients."

"As expected..."

Lu Ban tried ordering some more, only to find that the ingredients were all insufficient.

It's estimated that these robots have a feature to detect whether food has spoiled, so they detected that the ingredients in those warehouses had already rotted, which is why they couldn't make food.

"I'm very sorry, this is a coupon provided by our store, which can be used at any store in Future City Commercial Street."

The robot handed over two coupons.

"Thank you."

Lu Ban took the coupon, thinking that it probably wouldn't be of any use.

He looked around the clothing store. The people in this world had similar tastes to those in his time, but the clothes were all worn out and unwearable.

"bookstore?"

Shuangxin quickly spotted a shop that interested her.

She walked into the store, eager to find books from the old days.

However, what she saw before her left her stunned.

Inside the bookstore, there were only screens; tablets were locked on the tables, their screens now completely black.

"It seems they no longer use paper to make books."

Lu Ban thought of the newspaper he had read before. He guessed that this store was some kind of up-and-coming metaverse bookstore, and everything was in digital format.

"I thought I could find some books from that era."

Frosty Heart is a bit of a disappointment.

sizzle-

Just then, the sound of machinery running could be heard from outside the store.

Lu Ban peeked out and saw a robot vacuum cleaner cleaning the house. The cylindrical robot passed by each shop, and the robots in the shops just watched it quietly, creating a rather strange scene.

"It seems there's not much food here. Let's call the singer and Setsuna over first."

Lu Ban suggested.

The two rode camel-insects back to their hiding place, explained the general situation, and the four of them returned to the ecological park.

"Welcome to Future City Eco-Park. I am Lin, the guardian of the eco-park. I am happy to guide you through the park. Please join me in stepping into the world of nature."

As soon as you enter the park, you can hear the robot girl's clear voice.

"Ah, there are two guests, and new guests as well. Welcome!"

She seemed very happy, though Lu Ban wasn't sure if this "happiness" was a false emotional expression given to her by mechanical code.

"Is this a human?"

Despite hearing Shuangxin's explanation on the way, the singer still found it unbelievable.

"Hello, I am a demonstration robot. You can call me Lin."
