Chapter 539 - 209: Of Course, What Master Says, Goes

"What the hell! You...!"

Staring at the fair face before him, he saw a small patch of "skin" that looked like it was pieced together from metal. Her left hand was as fair and delicate as before, but her right hand had become a silicone "part" with a metallic sheen. A dumbfounded Shen Fei roared once more.

"0!"

0, who had inherited the Invincible computer’s network technology and called her own abilities the [Ethereum Editor] technique, now appeared before Shen Fei. He already knew she had used this so-called [Ethereum Editor] technique to replicate I, V, and others, making her a one-woman team. But he never imagined that 0 wasn’t even human!

It was obvious. During the previous Version 4.6 update, 0, who had been investigating in a special zone, had chosen the "Intelligent Mechanism" bloodline for convenience and to increase her power. She had changed her own bloodline from human to an Intelligent Mechanism that looked mostly human on the outside but was filled with silicon-based life components on the inside.

What 0 found even more unexpected was that at this moment, as the bloodline system underwent a comprehensive update, she had actually sought him out. And, just like Xiaohong, she also wanted to bind to him as her "Master"!

Shen Fei could understand that a Succubus, as a unique life form, needed a master due to special bloodline rules. And for an Intelligent Mechanism—a "robot"—to bind to a master was also perfectly justifiable. But looking at the smiling twinkle in 0’s eyes, he got the feeling...

This one... seems to be doing it on purpose...

[DING!]

[Player 0, in accordance with the First Rule of Intelligent Mechanisms, requests to bind to you as her "Master." Do you agree?]

[Reminder: Once bound as the master of an Intelligent Mechanism, you are required to provide routine oiling and maintenance.]

[DING!]

[An Intelligent Mechanism can only bind to one master in its lifetime. Once bound, they can never be separated!]

Amidst Shen Fei’s astonishment, his personal panel opened once again. Line after line of text refreshed on the panel. Looking at the words on the screen, Shen Fei understood that 0 wasn’t joking this time.

She’s dead serious!

"Hmph!"

While Shen Fei was still looking left and right, Li Xiaohong, who had finally become brave after much encouragement from Big Sis using the [Tears of the Succubus], suddenly spoke up. She took a step forward and snapped, "I was here first!"

After shouting, Li Xiaohong clenched her fists, glaring at 0 with an adorably fierce look. At the same time, she stole glances at Shen Fei out of the corner of her eye.

"Heh!"

Seeing Li Xiaohong’s reaction, 0, who had already made her decision and knew what her heart wanted, let out a quiet laugh. She looked at Li Xiaohong and uttered a sentence that made both Shen Fei’s and Li Xiaohong’s jaws drop.

"So what! I can accept a threesome..."

Previously, she had controlled many clones by herself, including I and II. In 0’s mind, one person was a team, and the team was one person. Now, under these circumstances, the amount of time 0 had spent by Shen Fei’s side was far less than Li Xiaohong’s. Moreover, Li Xiaohong had the advantage of having Shen Fei’s sister, Shen Yue, helping her. So, the choice 0 made was to pull out the big guns!

"Hmph! I can too!"

But what 0 didn’t expect was that the moment she finished speaking, the adorably fierce Li Xiaohong roared back.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!"

Li Xiaohong’s words left both Shen Fei and 0 stunned.

"Brother Fei! Hurry up and agree!" Having shouted her piece, Li Xiaohong quickly turned her gaze to Shen Fei, urging him to accept her request.

"Brother Fei~~, hurry up~~"

Seeing Li Xiaohong’s actions, 0 chimed in as well.

The two of them were willing to come to Shen Fei at this very moment to express their feelings. It wasn’t just because of the so-called bloodline restrictions. More importantly, both of them had completely confirmed that they held infinite affection for Shen Fei in their hearts. With the apocalypse upon them, they had both heard of many situations where one person took several partners. Not only were there many powerful men who had taken several women for themselves, but there were also powerful women who had several men all to themselves.

Therefore, upon seeing that they were both willing to entrust their life-or-death "Master" link to Shen Fei, they immediately agreed to a situation that would have been utterly impossible before the apocalypse. They also understood that now was the best time. Otherwise, once the version update was complete, this matter would only get more troublesome the longer they delayed. It would become harder and harder to bring up. It was better to just rip the band-aid off and get it done.

"Uh..."

Seeing Li Xiaohong and 0 both staring at him with such aggressive intensity, Shen Fei couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"Um, hey, I have these things. Here, one for each of you!"

Trying to defuse the tense situation, Shen Fei took the two "Bloodline Stones" he had just obtained from his inventory and gave one to Xiaohong and 0 each. Because of their fully manifested bloodlines, both of them had developed external traits. The [Bloodline Stone] reward that Shen Fei had just received from the National Treasure Divine Artifact could not only purify a bloodline but also refine how its physical traits were expressed.

"Hurry up and agree!"

"Hurry up and agree!"

Unfortunately, to Shen Fei’s exasperation, they immediately used the Bloodline Stones he tossed them, and the external traits of their bloodlines quickly receded. However, their aggressive gazes didn’t relax in the slightest.

"Alright..." Seeing their determined looks, Shen Fei decided not to be coy any longer.

His gaze sharpened. Very seriously, he accepted both of their requests through his personal panel.

And then, he saw on his personal panel...
