Seeing the playful expression on [ Do Some Farm Work ]'s face, [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] remained serious.

"Where's the absurdity? As a Machine Spirit, shouldn't the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess' have some ability to produce its own parts? What's wrong with that statement?"

"But it can't use the plant plugin for Directed Alienation now, can it?"

"Learning theory first, then practice, that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?"

Everyone remained silent. [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] glanced at [ Do Some Farm Work ] and [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ], thinking that these two were beyond saving...

She cast her scrutinizing gaze upon [ the Good Times Don't Last ]:

"You're not preparing something like this, are you?"

[ The Good Times Don't Last ] He immediately shook his head:

"How could that be? I always start from reality."

He asked the crowd:

What do you think is most important for a living machine?

[ The Good Times Don't Last ] Looking at [ the Do Some Farm Work ]:

"It's not about whether the excavated structure can remain stable."

He then looked at the [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ]:

"It's not something we could have done in the first place."

He patted his chest:

"Safety is paramount. As the Machine Spirit we created, I only wish for it to live peacefully!"

"Yes, that's right, that's the correct way to think!"

Having seen so many monsters and demons, [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] was moved to tears upon hearing such loving words from a father for the first time.

Look and listen, this is what it means to think of the Machine Spirit. I suppose he prepared some books on general knowledge?

Feeling the expectant gazes focused on him, [ the Good Times Don't Last ], he tapped his finger, and the ebook was quickly uploaded.

Upon seeing the " Mechanical Troubleshooting Skills Manual " that had suddenly appeared in the folder, [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ]'s gentle gaze gradually turned murderous.

Damn it! How can we possibly conduct education properly with a bunch of lunatics like this?

Seeing that three out of the six people besides herself had already done abstract work, she couldn't help but look at the remaining three, her serious gaze seeming to say:

"Bring on whatever other lousy work you have!"

[ The Shit Appraisal Master ] was the first to raise his hand, but not one, but two.

He made a gesture of surrender and said to the crowd:

"Um, let me first state my thoughts--"

Everyone nodded in unison, awaiting his profound insights.

[ The Shit Appraisal Master ] earnestly stated:

"Personally, I don't think we need to consider everything so carefully when educating Machine Spirit. We just need to avoid raising them into someone like me."

"Thinking about it carefully, my father, who was in prison, must have been quite disappointed in me, so everyone should try to avoid that."

[ The Good Times Don't Last ] He unconsciously scratched his head and said:

"It's not that bad, is it? Why don't you upload a couple of university textbooks and let's see?"

Upon hearing this, the [ Shit Appraisal Master ] gave a wry smile:

I attended a diploma mill.

"That definitely warrants some caution..."

"However, I was indeed prepared."

"Um?"

The group, whose expectations had already been lowered, looked towards the group chat, only to see [ Shit Appraisal Master ] perform some actions and upload " Principles of Economics " to a folder—no, it could now be called a library.

"Why... why is this?"

[ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] I feel like I've said this so many times already...

"Because we might be taking the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess on trade runs in the future, so..."

"Okay, I understand."

She looked at [ the Lion Hidden in the Eyes ]:

"Your turn."

The half-dragon player cleared his throat and said:

"Ahem, first let's clarify one thing - the life of Machine Spirit is basically spent on the road, after all, their main body is a fortress, which can be regarded as a vehicle."

"Thinking about it carefully, the future life of the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess' will probably not be much different from that of a road movie, and the most common plot of road movies is to explore the world and life in a similar journey."

"Repetitive scenes or encounters along the way might lead to a mental breakdown, so I think this book is very suitable for the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess."

Even though [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] was somewhat prepared, he still felt a bit dazed when he saw the book " Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance ".

Thankfully, she was young, and thankfully, this body was just data in a game; otherwise, she really felt she would have suffered a stroke on the spot.

All six had finished their presentations, and [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] turned its murderous gaze upon its blood relatives:

"Brother, you've been diligently completing the task, haven't you?"

The [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] has remained silent all along, just to minimize its presence.

But what's coming will come; the younger sister's gaze was fixed on his neck.

"... Of course, yes, of course."

His tone was somewhat evasive, making it difficult to fully believe him.

[ The Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] looked at everyone, especially at her younger sister:

"The next book I'm uploading is going to be crazy!"

Everyone swallowed hard and turned their attention to the group chat folder panel.

"Ding~"

" Newborn Machine Spirit Soothing Guide ".

If the previous people were just having wild ideas but were essentially considering the well-being of the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess, then [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] was completely baffled as to what his brother was up to.

Cyber superstition has arrived?

She silently pulled two shriveled plant-shaped inserts from her waist and inserted one into each of her arms.

A short blade made of ironwood swiftly appeared in her hand, and the [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] approached the [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] step by step.

" Xiaodeng, sis, let me explain..."

You'd better have an explanation.

Seeing that the blade of gaze had transformed into a physical blade, [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] said seriously:

Remember Xiao Yan who lived in the next unit?

[ The Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] nodded.

"He's currently working as a technician in a processing plant. When we were chatting before, he told me that there are some things you really can't ignore, otherwise the machines really will break down!"

The blade drew closer, and the Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop's pace quickened:

"Their factory bought a new machine, but it kept malfunctioning no matter how they tried to fix it. Then he killed a chicken, made a small incense burner, and tapped the machine twice. After that, it's been working perfectly ever since..."

"That's how it is in real life. The Machine Spirit in games are real, you know. What if, I mean, what if the ' King of Fall Resistance, I Guess' likes that kind of weird, eccentric feeling?"

"Wouldn't this just make it happier?"

"This..."

[ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] wore a bewildered expression, as if to say, "How could you possibly explain this?" She slowly sheathed her blade, glancing around with a look of utter bewilderment, as if she had just drawn her sword and was utterly lost.

Three engineering students, one unscrupulous businessman and academic underachiever, one road movie philosopher, and one cyber charlatan!

Are there no other humans besides ourselves?

Although everyone's prepared materials seemed like they were just joking around, when viewed together, they actually seemed quite plausible...

Quite comprehensive.

So how exactly can this knowledge be put into the Machine Spirit's brain?
