After it finished reporting, it lowered his eyes.

The new city lord did not speak for a long time, which made Jed a little frightened. It was even considering staying in the City of Machinery, where the ability of the new city lord was limited, and he would not be able to kill Jed so easily.

While Jed was thinking about it, he heard a beautiful song.

It looked up quietly.

The new city owner was watching a video on the computer.

On the screen was a robot with a computer screen head singing a song.

Jed couldn’t understand the aesthetics of robots before and felt that everything about them was so rigid and unsurprising. But the robot in front of him had a very lively aura, and its voice contained emotion, which made it, a mermaid, unable to help but sneak peeks at the owner of the voice.

At this time, the new city owner quirked an unexpected small smile and complimented, “How familiar.”

He directed Jed, “Tell the mermen to inform my illustrious self* if they happen to locate this robot.”

Xie Wuan’s livestream chat was quite lively.

【Lin Xinghe next door said she wanted to kill Xie Wuan! Hahahahahahaha this is the best joke I’ve heard today! 】

【I just want to see how the boss can make Lin Xinghe into a figurine! 】

【Lin Xinghe may not know something, Mr. Xie already knows that she is the Xinghe robot and is waiting for her to come over. He is drinking tea calmly at the moment. Lin Xinghe is gonna get off-ed soon. 】

【Where is the new anchor from? To rub off on the popularity of our boss? 】

【Exactly, I’ve never heard of her. 】

【It was the owner of the pet that happened to enter the boss’s space and eat the Jinwudan. Everyone was envious of her at that time, but I knew that with the character of our boss, eating a Jinwudan would cost her her life. 】

【Where in the world is there a free lunch? Lin Xinghe is still too naive! Her little trick, the boss has already seen through it. 】

【Although the machine city has banned magic and immortality, the boss’s melee skills are also good. A weak woman like Lin Xinghe is not a match for the boss at all. I watched the live broadcast of Lin Xinghe’s last exam room. Without the help of her pet and the fantasy boss Jiuge, she would have died long ago. In the end, she still relies on the ability of others to survive. 】

…

The barrage was heatedly discussing the happenings.

Jed had already informed the underlings of the city lord’s command.

It was a coincidence that as soon as he ordered this, Jed saw a robot with a nice voice from the computer. It made a reservation at the front desk, and soon, the desk robot gave it a transparent room card.

Jed hurried upstairs to inform the new city lord.

Xie Wuan asked slowly, “Which floor does she live on?”

“It’s our floor, the room at the end of the hallway,” Jed said.

Xie Wuan hummed lightly and commanded, “None of you are allowed to have contact with her.”

Although Jed didn’t understand why, he still conveyed the order of the city lord.

At this time, only Xie Wuan was left in the room.

He sipped the tea brought by the robot, and opened his mouth leisurely, as if talking to himself and also as if interacting with the livestream audience, only to hear him say, “Interesting, now that my cultivation has been sealed off and my portable space has been deactivated, today, I have only a mortal body, and it is indeed the best chance to kill me. Lin Xinghe is very aggressive in her movements, and she appeared as soon as I arrived. Unfortunately, her experience is too shallow, so her coming alone is an act of death…”

Xie Wuan put down the teacup.

He rose and walked towards the window.

He pressed the alarm button.

Immediately, the alarm bell rang throughout the hotel.

Soon, a robot manager hurried over.

Looking at the mermaid city lord standing safe and sound, the robot manager felt very baffled and asked, “Did something happen? Or do you have any requirements? You can directly issue the requirements on the panel. The alarm bell should only be pressed when there is an invasion of foreign enemies…”

The robot manager cursed the mermaid city lord again in his heart and at the same time sent orders to other robots to appease the other guests in the hotel room.

As an MMP in its heart, the robot didn’t show any emotions on the surface and said in a very sincere tone: “I’m so sorry, we didn’t explain it to you clearly. Please don’t press it wrongly, City Lord.”

Xie Wuan replied, “A human has been sneaked into this layer. I’m just giving you a reminder. Believe it or not, she is hiding in a mechanical shell.”

Before waiting for the robot manager to respond, Xie Wuan shut the door.

Xie Wuan’s livestream chat went off.

【Lin Xinghe next door will miserable. 】

【They haven’t even fought once! Lin Xinghe’s hard work in the City of Machinery is about to be abolished. 】

【Who will go to Lin Xinghe’s livestream? Go light a candle. 】

【There is nothing to go to, Lin Xinghe will definitely be killed by the mechanical NPC if she is discovered, and the livestream will be closed in 60 seconds. It’s better to watch Xie-boss lead a massacre. 】

【Just a newcomer, nothing to see, I’ll focus on the big boss for a hundred years without wavering. 】

TL Notes:

*Because Xie Wuan still talks like a xianxia immortal, he refers to himself with a Chinese pronoun-type phrase (本座) that has a “immortal, high class” connotation. This is usually only used in ancient China or in jest, and it’s supposed to sound ludicrous and lofty in terms of modern language.
