Listening to 2B, Loren froze for a moment, thinking he had misheard. He had actually heard 2B say that she wanted to become human. That was behavior beyond the scope of her programming.

Under normal circumstances, 2B would never say something like that. Although her mannerisms appeared no different from those of a real human, they were actually nothing more than simulated behaviors from her intelligent core.

Her self-identity was that of a robot. She would never say that she wanted to become human unless... 2B had awakened emotions and consciousness of her own.

In an instant, Loren seemed to realize something. His eyes widened as he stared at 2B as though he had seen a ghost.

"You... you developed self-awareness and emotions? How is that possible?!"

Although the universal combat robot technology clearly stated that the emotional system embedded in a machine's intelligent core had an extremely small chance of causing a universal combat robot to develop emotional bonds and self-awareness like those of humans.

He had not paid much attention to it before, because the technical documentation had made it very clear: the probability was exceedingly, exceedingly small, less than one in ten thousand.

So he had subconsciously believed that such a minuscule-probability event would never happen to him. Yet, to his utter surprise, he had hit the jackpot. He had actually encountered it.

The 2B before him seemed to have truly developed self-awareness and emotions of her own. Otherwise, she could not possibly have said something like that.

But upon hearing Loren's question, 2B merely tilted her head and looked at him with a slightly adorably blank expression.

"Boss, what are consciousness and emotions?"

"How should I explain this? Consciousness refers to the human ability to think and perceive, while emotions are humans' subjective feelings and emotional experiences of the world. Do you understand?"

At that, 2B shook her head. "Not really. But I also feel like I've become a little different. Is this difference what you mean by consciousness and emotions?"

"What do you mean by different?"

"I can't help wanting to do that kind of thing with you, Boss. I want you to use forceful..."

"Stop, stop. You're not allowed to say any more. It won't be healthy if you keep going."

Loren could not help breaking out in a cold sweat as he listened to 2B.

He had never imagined that 2B would develop such thoughts toward him.

This was far more than developing consciousness and emotions!

She had even developed sexual desire!

And it was extremely strong.

Although 2B's change made him feel rather pleased and accomplished.

He had to remember that 2B currently possessed a genuine body of steel.

If 2B's beastly urges erupted, wouldn't that be fatal?!

At that thought, he was startled and could no longer feel happy at all.

He could not yet build a flesh-and-blood body for 2B, but before then, he had to figure out a way to make the relevant parts bionic. Even silicone would be better than lumps of iron!

At least then, if 2B's beastly urges erupted, he would suffer a little less.

"Boss, the internet says that doing that kind of thing between a man and a woman feels wonderful. Is that true? And what does wonderful mean?" 2B asked Loren with great curiosity, looking determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Uh, well, the internet is indeed correct. It does feel wonderful. As for what wonderful means, that's really hard for me to explain. It probably means happiness taken to the extreme."

Loren looked embarrassed as he listened to 2B's question, not knowing how to explain it.

Explaining the physical pleasure unique to humans to a robot was like playing music to a cow. There was simply no way to explain it, because it lay beyond her understanding.

"Then what is happiness?" 2B continued, tilting her head curiously.

"Happiness is when you... Happiness is... Happiness is like... It's just... just kind of like that thing."

Loren stammered as though he were singing a SpongeBob song. He truly had no idea how to answer.

"What is that thing you mentioned?" 2B continued asking.

"Stop, stop, stop. You should stop asking, or this will never end. I can't completely describe subjective feelings like this with words. You need to experience them for yourself."

"Experience them for myself? I understand. I'll work hard at it." 2B silently nodded.

"Oh, right, Boss. Since doing that kind of thing makes you happy, 2B wants to make you happy right now. I've learned lots and lots of knowledge. Do you need to test me?"

"..."

"Where did you learn so much knowledge? Did you visit porn sites?"

"What are porn sites?"

"Forget it. Pretend I never said that. Your battery is running low. It's time to recharge. We can talk about happy things later!"

"Boss, while I'm recharging in standby mode, can you upgrade my organs? I want them made realistic."

"..."

Loren broke out in a cold sweat. This 2B was really becoming more and more outrageous.

At this rate, perhaps one day she would really take advantage of him while he was asleep.

If that happened, he really needed to hurry up and upgrade Miss 2B's organs, and it could not be delayed for even a moment.

This was not only for 2B's sake, but also for the sake of his own happy life.

With that thought, he immediately began the upgrade and modification work.

Not only that, he also began crafting the Perfected Super-Soldier Serum according to the formula rewarded by the system!

Time flew by, and before he knew it, seven days had passed. During those seven days, Loren spent only the first day upgrading and modifying 2B's organs. He spent the rest of the time crafting the Perfected Super-Soldier Serum.

After a full six days, he finally successfully created the Perfected Super-Soldier Serum on the last day.

It was a tube of pale blue serum, noticeably different from the original green serum.

"Boss, are you sure you want to inject it now? This serum hasn't undergone human trials yet!" 2B said worriedly as she watched Loren strip naked and lie down in the experimental chamber.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Trust in my abilities. Begin the enhancement injection immediately!"

Although the perfected enhancement serum he had created had not undergone human trials, it had been verified by the system's data, so there would be no problem.

Naturally, he could not let anyone else know that information, not even Miss 2B!

"Understood. Then let's begin!" With Loren's order, 2B no longer hesitated. She immediately pressed the start button on the control panel.

At once, the previously upright experimental chamber slowly lowered into a horizontal position. At the same time, the tube of pale blue enhancement serum was injected into Loren's body intravenously.

As the enhancement serum entered his body, Loren's body immediately stiffened beyond his control. Then, a pained roar rang out from within the experimental chamber...
