Guga Robots

Over the next two hours, Jiang Lan seemed to be possessed by some strange inspiration, dismantling all the junk that had accumulated in the backyard into its parts.

Old iron pots, broken copper kettles, broken shovels, rusty door knockers, and even cracked kitchen knives were all reforged, bent, and pieced together by him.

Doro squatted by the table, watching without blinking.

It watched as Jiang Lan used the bottom of that broken pot to carve out a round base, bent scrap iron bars into the framework of the limbs, and wrapped copper wire around the joints and connecting parts.

Doro didn't know where the knowledge gushing out of Jiang Lan's mind came from, but it could tell that it far exceeded this world's understanding of mechanisms and machines.

"That's about it." Jiang Lan took a step back, rubbed his hands on his clothes, and then activated the Tech Guga Soul Skill.

A pale blue aura of Soul Power emanated from his palm, splitting into four beams that precisely injected into the bodies of the four robots.

A clicking sound rang out, and the eyes of the four tin penguins lit up simultaneously, gleaming with a pale golden light.

They clumsily moved their arms, then raised a short leg and stomped on the ground, making a creaking sound. Afterwards, they stood up straight in unison and gave Jiang Lan a not-so-standard salute.

"Guga One, reporting for duty!"

"Little Guga Number Two, reporting for duty!"

"Guga Three, reporting for duty!"

"Guga Four, reporting for duty!"

The four robots spoke one after another.

These robots look similar to Jiang Lan, and are about the same height as Jiang Lan.

Doro squatted by the table, his mouth wide open enough to fit a whole Ju Zi.

"What can they do?" Doro asked.

"They can do anything!" Jiang Lan said, hands on her hips. "I plan to make them employees of Honey Snow Ice City, and they'll sell milk tea from now on."

With Jiang Lan's current knowledge, she can create a robot equivalent to a fourth-ring Soul Master.

As his strength increases, he will be able to create more powerful robots; Jiang Lan guesses that it's the limitation of his Soul Skill.

To create powerful robots, you need more than just technology; you also need a lot of materials.

Jiang Lan had a strange idea: why not unify the entire Douluo Star in the future?

After unifying the entire Douluo Star, we promoted education and vigorously developed science and technology, enabling ordinary people on the Douluo Continent to live a good life, and then launched our attack on the universe.

Then let the stars fall, let the sea of stars boil, let the Milky Way burn!

Unlock Douluo 40k?

After letting her mind wander, Jiang Lan snapped out of those strange thoughts.

In any case, technology is the primary productive force.

"Selling milk tea?" Doro tilted his head, looking at the four tin penguins bumping into each other and making clanging noises. His eyes shifted from shock to deep suspicion. "Is the milk tea they make even drinkable?"

Jiang Lan didn't answer. Instead, she walked up to Guga One, rummaged through the counter and pulled out a pot of tea that hadn't been used up that morning. She poured in some milk, sprinkled in two spoonfuls of sugar, and then pushed the ingredients in front of the robot.

Guga One's eyelight flashed twice, and the metal plate on its chest clicked open, revealing a slender stirring arm that precisely probed into the teapot and began to rotate at a steady pace. The tea and milk gradually blended under its stirring, changing color from dark brown to light brown, finally forming a layer of fine milk foam. It then extended a hand with small pincers, picked up a few ice cubes from the side, and tossed them in—the entire sequence of movements was fluid and seamless, without spilling a single drop.

Then Little Guga Number Two came over and used the heating pad on its belly to keep the cup at a constant temperature, Guga Three stuck a small piece of Ju Zi into the rim of the cup.

Guga Four pushed the glass towards Jiang Lan and said in his electric voice, "Guga Special, please enjoy."

Doro, somewhat skeptical, stretched out his little hand, picked up the cup, and cautiously took a sip.

Its eyes first narrowed, then suddenly widened, the purple pupils reflecting the fine, even ring of milk foam around the rim of the cup.

The next second, it tilted its head back, gulped down the entire cup of milk tea, and let out a loud burp with the bottom of the cup facing up.

"Delicious!" Doro slammed his cup on the table, his short finger pointing at the four robots, his tone unequivocal. "They're ready to go!"

Jiang Lan smiled so hard her eyes curved into two crescent moons.

He patted each robot on the head and then made some minor adjustments to their programs to ensure they could wake up on time, open the shop, prepare ingredients, and collect payments the next morning.

Finally, he placed the four robots in the four corners of the store and put them into standby mode.

The golden light in the robot's eyes gradually dimmed, turning into a faint but rhythmic breathing light, like four sleeping little tin penguins.

"Tomorrow, Honey Snow Ice City will be the most powerful store in the entire Heaven Dou City." Jiang Lan climbed onto his small bed, carefully placed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud beside his pillow, and then pulled Doro into his arms.

"Why is it the most powerful?" Doro asked, still half asleep, as he leaned close to him.

"Because other stores have human employees, ours are robots." Jiang Lan closed his eyes, the hood of his Penguin Suit drooping down to cover half his face, his voice gradually lowering, "In the future, I want to open branches, all over the continent... and then create something even more amazing..."

He fell asleep as he was talking, with a little bit of glistening drool still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Doro snuggled closer to him and closed her eyes.

The next morning, Honey Snow Ice City welcomed its busiest day since its opening.

As dawn broke, people were already lining up on Vermilion Bird Street.

By the time the sun rose, the queue had stretched from the entrance to the street corner.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were pulled over by Jiang Lan early in the morning to help out. The two stood behind the counter watching the four robots take up their posts, their expressions more interesting than the last.

"Are you sure they won't mistake sugar for salt?" Dugu Yan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as she watched Robot Number Two add a spoonful of pale golden liquid to the milk tea cup.

Jiang Lan stood to the side, holding a small remote control in her hand, looking completely nonchalant. "Don't worry, I installed a taste sensor in it, the sweetness will be exactly right."

At the doorway, Doro, wearing its little apron, stood on a stool, side by side with Robot Number One.

Whenever a customer approaches, Doro raises his little hand, points behind the counter, and shouts "Welcome!"

Number One then emitted a series of clanging electronic sounds, its mechanical arm patting its belly, looking like a rather dim-witted, simple-minded fool.

This duo is incredibly charming; many wealthy ladies can't resist stopping by when they pass by, insisting on buying a cup of milk tea and patting Doro's head along the way.

In the afternoon, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived.

"Little Guga, did you miss your big sister?" Ning Rongrong picked up Jiang Lan and kept squeezing her in her arms.

Jiang Lan struggled twice in her arms, the hood of her Penguin Suit tilted to one side, revealing half of her eye that seemed to scream "Save me!"

"Sister Rongrong, I'm suffocating--"
