CH 154

The only means of transport between the Garbage Planet and the other planets was Graverson’s battered aircraft. So, if they wanted to leave here, they would have to take his spaceship.

Bai Lixin comforted the “sad” simulation robot Ghar and suddenly thought of another way: “Ghar, can you make an aircraft? It doesn’t need to be very big as long as it can take us to helium. ”

Ghar’s expression faltered for a moment, as if he was gathering memories in his chip.

“Master, my memory chip has information on the construction of an aircraft, but I lack the necessary materials to make it.”

Bai Lixin brightened, “Excellent, what materials are needed?”

“High voltage metal, sensing systems, fuel, kinetic devices, and a lot more.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

Let’s just grab Graverson’s flying machine.

In the hospital, Graverson’s arm was in a cast and his eyes stared daggers at the counter droid who was busy waiting on him, “Rubbish, really a piece of rubbish.”

The counter droid held the glass of water in his hand and used a questioning tone, “Rubbish; an item that isn’t needed. Master, are you recycling me? If you need to recycle, I will disassemble my body for your transport. ”

Graverson covered his face, “No, I’m not saying you are rubbish. Your name will be “rubbish” from now on. Rubbish is just a code name. Do you understand?! ”

The counter droid nodded, “Understood, from today onwards, I will be called “Rubbish.” Thank you, master, for the name.”

“Master, your arm will need to recuperate for two months before fully recovering. During that time, your arm should not be used for overly powerful exertions. ” The counter droid came to Graverson with a glass of water and held it against his face, “Your body has been detected to have begun dehydrating. Please drink, Master.”

Graverson took a sip of water and looked suspiciously at the counter droid that he had traded in for who knows how many hands, “Aren’t you a counter droid? Why do you feel like a medical robot.”

“Master, my last master had a serious physical ailment, and to take better care of him, his son injected me with a medical type chip, allowing me to double as a care robot.”

“I see, then I’ve picked up a treasure.” Graverson nodded in satisfaction. Although the robot was a bit dumb, it was a good deal for two uses in one machine. He looked down happily as he took a sip of water.

“But because his son often used my line to watch adult films on the internet, it gave me a virus. This caused problems with the medical class knowledge. ”

Graverson sputtered halfway through his drink and coughed violently as he said, “How is your last master’s health now?”

“Reporting to the master, he is dead.”

Graverson: “……”

Why did he suddenly have an ominous feeling?

“If I can’t move my arms, how will I exchange supplies to and from other planets? Do you know how to fly an aircraft? ”

How will the planet function without him going to exchange supplies for two months? And the scrap that had been piling up for two months couldn’t be transported all at once.

“I’m sorry, master. I do not have a chip for piloting a craft implanted. I am sorry I cannot be of any help to you. ”

Graverson frowned. His aircraft was very old, the sensors in the rudder didn’t work well, and he needed two hands to operate it to fly it steadily.

If he used only one hand, there was a danger of going off course. Now that only one hand can move, he would not dare to fly the aircraft.

“I will help you!” Suddenly, a voice came through the door, and Graverson’s eyes lit up. He poked his head towards the door in joy.

But when he saw the figure of the man, his anger flared, and he pointed at the man with his hand intact and cursed, “God damn it, I didn’t go looking for you, and you came up here. Rubbish, beat them to death. ”

“Report, your command has been entered incorrectly. Please re-enter.”

“Hit them!”

“Report, there was an error in your command input. Please re-enter.”

“…..attack them!”

“Report, your command was entered incorrectly. Please re-enter.”

“….”

” Graverson said breathlessly, “Go and get them each a glass of water.”

“Yes, Master.”

Graverson: “….”

Fuck this stupid robot, I **%##%!”

“No need to be so polite, Mr. Graverson.” Bai Lixin said as he held back a laugh, adding fuel to the fire.

Graverson: “……”

I’m not being polite, believe me. ”

“Mr. Graverson, I can fly the craft. I’m very sorry that Ghar hurt you. To make up for your loss, I’d like to fly as your pilot for the time being. What do you think? ”

“Heh!” Graverson rolled his eyes, “Such big talk from a scavenging brat. Do you know the start switch of an aircraft? Do you know the forward button and the back button? ”

“Mr. Graverson, you may not trust me, but can you trust this droid beside me? His memory chip includes the most complete knowledge of all the stars, from astronomy down to geography, and he is perfectly capable of such a trivial task as flying an aircraft. ”

Graverson listened and put his eyes on Ghar.

There was no spare clothing in the original owner’s house, and even if there had been, Ghar couldn’t have changed, given his size.

So Ghar was still in rags, but despite his rags and expressionless face, Graverson found the robot reliable.

Not being able to fly the aircraft for two months was indeed not an option.

So far, this was all that could be done.

Giving a nod, Graverson said, “Alright then, you two will fly the craft for me and I’ll give you 200ml of water and 4 taels of food each time.”

“Okay, thanks.”

While they were talking, the counter droid kept surveying Ghar with his red eyes. Ghar felt the counter droid’s sight and turned his head away, expressionless, “Hello.”

The counter robot extended its hand, “Hello, are you a robot too?”

Ghar nodded, “I’m a simulation robot. Nice to meet you, counter robot.”

“My name is now “Rubbish”. You can call me that. How may I address you?”

“Hello, Waste. I’m Ghar. ”

“Hello, Ghar. I’m Rubbish.”

Bai Lixin: “……”

Graverson: “……”

The counter droid circled Ghar, “Excuse me Ghar, do you bleed? Do you feel pain? ” The counter droid had never seen a simulated robot before. Its knowledge of robots was limited to its metal form.

“I have no blood in my body, though I can simulate the sensation of human pain. But I don’t need to eat, and I have no digestive system.

The counter droid reached out tentatively and touched Ghar, “Your body surface is warm. Do you have a temperature regulation system installed in your simulated skin?”

“Yes, the same as normal human body temperature.”

“Amazing,” the counter droid used a tone of awe, “you’ve perfected it many times over. I’d like to be like you.”

“No,” Ghar shook his head, “I’m not perfect. My memory chip is faulty, and I don’t have an emotion analysis system, much less a facial expression or tone change system. You see, you can even use many tones, but I only have one tone. I’m a complete and utter failure. ”

The counter droid slapped Ghar’s shoulder with a mechanical hand, “What a coincidence! I also have a problem with my memory chip. My memory chip was infected with a virus because my master used my line to watch adult films.”

At this statement, Bai Lixin and Ghar looked at Graverson in unison.

Graverson coughed and said, with a red face and gritted teeth, “His former master!”

………..

Nothing was wrong with Graverson except for a broken arm.

Worried about his supplies, Graverson discharged himself from the hospital the next day.

This place was said to be a hospital, but it was just a large clinic. People on this planet couldn’t even have a place to get help when they were sick.

So, although the clinic was simple, it served a very important purpose.

In the afternoon of his release from the hospital, Graveson arrived in a hurry at the trading centre, where the supplies that had been placed there yesterday had already been looted, and there were a lot of valid scraps scattered on the ground in bits and pieces.

But the scrap that had been thrown onto the floor didn’t add up to a tenth of the supplies looted.

Graverson’s eyes went black, and he nearly fainted. My supplies, my money, my future!

Looking at the scrap all over the floor, Bai Lixin held back a smile and asked, “Mr. Graverson, when do you plan to leave to replace the items?”

Graverson looked at the empty supplies and squeezed a word out, “Tomorrow!”

Early the next morning, Graverson hired scavengers to bundle up the scrap and carry it to the craft. He brought five more thugs with him before he stepped into the craft.

The craft was 40 years old and on the verge of being scrapped. He had been frantically swapping supplies around over the years, exchanging them for money, intending to get a bigger and better aircraft so that he could fly to a more distant planet for something less technologically advanced than Helium.

Helium was too far away from the Garbage star, and there were no planets to dock on in between.

The robots on Helium were a hot commodity, and he had wanted to get a real robot from there for a long time, not a dumb one like that counter robot.

When Graverson stepped into the craft, he saw that Ghar was already sitting in the pilot’s seat. He thought better of it and moved back two seats, not daring to be right next to the droid.

The group all boarded the ship, and Graverson bellowed, “All right, little ones, let’s go!
