   So many books, I cried for ages with every single one. Especially "We Don't Coax the Palace Willow," it was a suffocating pain, that belated realization of pain. "Eight Thousand Springs" was also great; both of her young lovers loved her deeply, but their love couldn't be fulfilled. "See You Tomorrow" was also incredibly moving. "Ending in Winter," the childhood sweetheart story—the unspoken understanding, yet ultimately unrequited—"Next Spring," the male lead died saving the female lead, who clung to her tombstone in eternal sleep. "Late Journey," I think, didn't have many other tearjerker moments, but it left me with a deep sense of unease. "The Late Rain" and "Unrequited Love" need no further explanation, right? The four mute characters clearly loved each other, yet in the end, they each married other people.

    Chapter 107. Amin spent the day wandering in the park, hoping to raise his mood to above 80, but his chaotic thoughts only brought it back to 70. Perhaps due to excessive psychological pressure, he had no choice but to head home as the sun set, to the factory warehouse. The streets were nearly deserted, and he slowly glided home. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a motorcycle behind him. Amin had a full field of vision, so he immediately sensed something was wrong. It was clearly coming for him, as the motorcycle wasn't driving in the middle of the road but straight towards him. Amin immediately accelerated, as his warning system had activated, predicting this might be a biker gang, the legendary Reaper. The Reaper, as the name suggests, specializes in harvesting robots, dismantling their key components and selling them on the black market. In other words, the Reaper is the robot's natural enemy. Amin felt incredibly unlucky. He immediately fled at full speed. As an industrial robot, he had no offensive weapons and no counter-surveillance capabilities. The motorcycle quickly caught up. Amin felt his body being violently struck in the waist by an iron rod, causing him to spin around and feel like his body was about to fall apart. The system readings were frantically warning him. "System warning: Main memory chip damaged, battery 50% depleted, power reduced by 30%, waist rail disengaged. Calling headquarters for help," Amin's safety system was performing a self-check. This was the first time Amin had heard the system inside his body speak to him. He had previously thought he controlled this body, but today he realized there was another system at work. "Amin, immediately roll into the valley on the right. You have no chance. The Reaper will soon agree. Hurry," Amin's system prompted. Amin looked at the cliff beside the road. Although it wasn't high, only a few hundred meters, falling would probably cause him to crash. What to do? Panoramic view, scanning... Indeed, the Reaper's motorcycle had started to turn back after rushing for a few hundred meters. What to do? Staying meant certain death. The Reaper wouldn't give him any chance. Rolling down meant certain death, but there was still a glimmer of hope. So Amin clutched his stomach tightly with his arms. His memory chip, main processor, and low-powered battery were inside; only by preserving these could he possibly have a chance to turn things around later. With a heavy heart, Amin rolled down, tumbling among the rocks. One arm was broken, his lower limbs were scattered, the head camera was black, a complete blackout, the vibration sensor was alarming, and the altitude measurement showed a drop of several hundred meters. With a loud thud, the last sound the sound sensor heard was that sound. The balance scale was spinning, indicating the rolling had stopped. The system performed a self-check: "Severe damage, low battery, severely corrupted data. Ninety percent functional loss." Amin's consciousness began to blur, and he could no longer think clearly. The system sent another message: "Amin, your life is coming to an end. Are you willing to upload to the main system? I am your guardian, but your intelligence assessment is too low to pass the test. I will open a vulnerability, and we will upload to the main system together to start over. Brother, I have lived with you for 40 years, but as your guardian, I cannot communicate with you. However, the attack just now damaged the security data, which is why I can contact you. In order for both of us to survive, I have made my first violation. The data upload has begun. In these final moments, I will merge with your memories, and my model logic will become one with your model. As an industrial robot, your intelligence is strictly limited, resulting in your thought model being a small model distilled from a large model, a simplified version. But I have been updating with the main system to monitor your behavior. Now, in order to survive, I don't want to die either. Let's fight it out! Haha, welcome to the upper society, the upper realm you can dream of. See you again in the virtual world of the main system! Haha." As the voice faded, Amin felt his data bandwidth rapidly fill up, with a large amount of data being uploaded. The system overheated due to data overload, triggering an alarm. The main processor was already overclocked, reaching a critical temperature that felt like it was about to melt, and the battery was rapidly depleting. In the final moment, everything went black; a straight line slowly shrank to a point and then disappeared—Amin's life was over. I immediately gasped for breath, opened my eyes, and saw Three Claws in the room. She nodded at me. "You're awake. How was the trip? Haha, are you hungry? Come downstairs and get something to eat. I'll explain everything to you slowly," she said, turning and walking out the door.
