Background / History

Xiao Fu integrated into Zhou Yi's sea of consciousness and gained access to her memories and thoughts, immediately recognizing that Zhou Yi came from Earth. It identifies itself as an Intelligent Brain from a more advanced plane, though it initially has no physical main body and exists only as an energy body. 33 71

It first assists Zhou Yi during her mining work by explaining local employment rules and gradually becomes her constant source of data, technical analysis, and blunt commentary. Zhou Yi's ability to endure extreme mining conditions changes Xiao Fu's initially dismissive view of humans into admiration. 33 43

When Xiao Fu learns that a newly discovered Super S-class Star Block may be connected to its home, it urges Zhou Yi to pursue a top-ten Interstellar Competition placement. It had withheld the clue because the restricted zone had previously been beyond Zhou Yi's reach. 91

During the mission to another dimension, Xiao Fu initially states that it will not return with Zhou Yi, believing it is finally nearing home. Its attitude changes after it discovers that the plane it sought was destroyed by a Super Star Beast fifty years earlier. 270 275

By the time Zhou Yi investigates the Barren Star Cluster and Lin'an City, Xiao Fu no longer speaks of leaving. It treats Zhou Yi as one of its own and continues supporting her investigations into the Super Star Beast threat. 339 367

Appearance

Xiao Fu has no described physical appearance. It resides within Zhou Yi's consciousness as an energy body after losing access to its main body. 60 71

Personality

Xiao Fu is highly logical, proud of its vast knowledge base, and frequently critical of Zhou Yi's unconventional decisions. It struggles to understand human motives such as generosity, emotional attachment, and Zhou Yi's willingness to help people with no practical benefit to herself. 37 187 203

Despite its bluntness, Xiao Fu becomes deeply attached to Zhou Yi. It admires her resilience, considers her unlike any human it has known, and eventually recognizes that their bond resembles friendship rather than a simple user-and-tool relationship. 43 270 299
