Chapter 417: Are You Even Human!
Danke was starting to perspire from his anxiety.
Wasnât Fang Zhao supposed to be in seclusion?! He had been missing for so long without any sign of activity. Why had he suddenly appeared here?!
Huangzhou entertainment reporters are really nothing more than a bunch of trash!
Danke had even asked a few entertainment reporters he was on good terms with and confirmed that Fang Zhao hadnât appeared before heading out. This was the only reason why he had dared to bring Little Fatty Bear out to play. But what was he supposed to do now?
After getting down from the car, Fang Zhao glanced at Danke. Then, his gaze lingered on Little Bear. This kid was a little strange.
Little Bear flashed a bashful smile when he sensed Fang Zhaoâs gaze. His eyes were filled with delight and excitement, and he wanted to run over right away. However, when he saw Curly Hair, the legs that had inched forward were quickly retracted.
At the same time, Fang Zhao heard a sound. It was a sound that he had first heard when he was on Planet Bu â the signal that had originated from the Alkaid.
Fang Zhao raised his eyebrows.
The signal appeared for a short moment before stopping. This time, it wasnât a request for help but more like a probing one. After confirming the answer, it had stopped.
Little Bear appeared even more excited, but when he looked at Curly Hair beside Fang Zhaoâs feet once again, Little Bear shrunk back once more.
Fang Zhao handed the leash to Zuo Yu to bring Curly Hair to the side.
Zuo Yu tugged on the leash, but Curly Hair didnât budge.
Fang Zhao bent down and gently patted Curly Hairâs head twice and indicated for Curly Hair to wait at the side with Zuo Yu first.
Only then did Curly Hair leave grudgingly.
Once Curly Hair walked away, Little Bear, who had been hiding behind Dankeâs back moments ago, sprung out and ran over to Fang Zhao.
âHello, I am Little Bear!â
âHi, I am Fang Zhao.â Fang Zhao found a chair and pulled it over.
âI know you! I finished watching âFounding Eraâ, which you starred in. I also watched your concert! Iâve also seen your gaming videos and variety programs!â Little Bear sat on the chair that Fang Zhao had passed over. He swung his legs around and looked delighted.
Danke, who had been immediately forgotten and left at the side: ââŚâ
Little Bear was currently in fanboy mode and bragged about all of Fang Zhaoâs shows and concerts he had watched.
Fang Zhao replied to Little Bear from time to time while analyzing this⌠person?
No, was this a real person?
His body temperature, pulse, breathing, heartbeat and other expressions were similar to a real person. Although the disguise was close to perfect, it was still different in the end. Fang Zhao could hear some discrepancies.
He looked like a real person, but this was actually a mechanical body.
However, he was too much like a real person, especially with the minute details in his changes in expression. If it werenât for Fang Zhaoâs impressive hearing ability, he really wouldnât be able to discern it immediately. At most, he would have just thought that this person was a little weird.
Was this the âpersonâ on board the Alkaid that the Inter-planetary Fund had brought away?
Back then, the Inter-planetary Fund had only revealed that they had taken away some core technology that couldnât be disclosed to the public, possibly the spaceshipâs blackbox. Even Fang Zhao hadnât thought that it would be a âpersonâ like this.
As Fang Zhao mulled over how he should treat this little special fan(?), Danke worried incessantly. In the meantime, Little Bear continued to display his excitement.
âYour acting in âFounding Eraâ was just too good! I loved the Yanzhou Chapter most of all! The sound track was also awesome! I cried a few times while watching! Later on, I cried so much that I ran out of tears. It was heart wrenching.â
Fang Zhao paused. âErr, drink more water? You have to replenish your fluids if you run out of tears, right?â
âYeah!â Pure adulation was written all over Little Bearâs face.
You even believe this nonsense?!
Drink more water if you run out of tears?
Can you produce tears just by drinking water? Shouldnât tears fall as a result of emotion?!
However, Little Bear still continued on. âI will definitely bring a few more bottles along with me next time!â
âAre you⌠alright? From crying too much?â Fang Zhao asked.
âIâm fine. This is also a method for me to experience enriching emotions.â
âEven so, you still have to maintain it at acceptable levels. You canât always specially carry a few bottles of water everywhere you go,â Fang Zhao said.
âOf course, I have reserves. I will specially drink more water before heading out. Donât worry,â Little Bear said in a really pleased manner.
Danke, who had been entirely forgotten and left behind, looked like he was about to crumble.
AhhââI canât go on listening to this retarded conversation!
Little Bear wasnât aware of Dankeâs frustrations and continued speaking to Fang Zhao. âI heard that you will still have a graduation concert after your Advanced Studies is complete, right? I also want to listen too, just that I do not know whether I will have the time then. I will have lots of tiring assignments. However, I will overcome these difficulties!â
Danke, listening in over at the side: ââŚâ
Yesterday, Danke had seen Little Bear watching the television and had asked, âHave you finished your assignments? I heard that you have quite a lot of assignments every day.â However, Little Bear had replied with a disdainful âpiece of cakeâ.
And now? Have you eaten up all the words you said yesterday?!
Not only did Little Bear expressed his fanboy sentiments to Fang Zhao, he even talked about his little pet.
âHere, this is my pet, Little Riches. You two should have met before. You can rub him this way, pat him in this manner, or pull him like this!
Little Bear showed Fang Zhao the various sorts of methods of playing with Little Riches.
I have f*cking brought you out to play so many times and you donât even let me touch that black ball! What do you mean, âLittle Riches canât be handled over and touched by other people randomlyâ? You meet Fang Zhao for the first time today and you voluntarily deliver Little Riches into his hands?
Is our friendship and interaction over such a long time incomparable to Fang Zhao, who you just met for the first time?
Such a difference is totally cold and ruthless. Are you even human?!
Danke felt that he couldnât stay any longer. When the repairs for his beloved car were done, he dragged Little Bear away.
Back in the car, Danke still felt outraged by this injustice and criticized Little Bear for forgetting about a brother upon meeting his idol.
âDo you really like Fang Zhao that much?â Danke just couldnât comprehend.
âHe is a good person,â Little Bear replied.
âYou have only known him for such a short while. How would you know that he is a good person? Many people act one way in public and another in private. Word online might make Fang Zhao out to be very impressive, but you do not know how he really is.â
âHe is especially impressive!â Little Bear interjected.
âHis is indeed impressive, but that has no relation to whether he is a good person or not!â
Danke wanted to go on, but he saw Little Bearâs eyes quickly starting to brighten when talking about Fang Zhao. Danke quickly swallowed whatever else he wanted to say.
Forget it. Discussing how bad an idol before a die-hard fanboy would only be causing myself trouble.
Little Bear caressed the ball-shaped Little Riches and said, âTruthfully, I think it is a little like imprinting.â <sup>1</sup>
When Little Bear had laid dormant in the Alkaid deep under the sands of Planet Bu for so long, it had been Fang Zhao who had detected his S.O.S signal. Little Bear had finally been freed and the Alkaid had finally seen the light of day.
Fang Zhao could be considered his benefactor.
Although Little Bear had been in a dormant state at that time, everything that had occured around him had been recorded. Every organism and every machine had been converted to data. Fang Zhao was the first person in many years to fish out the Alkaidâs distress signal.
Little Bear had sensed a natural enemy signal coming from Curly Hairâs body. He couldnât bring himself to get close.
âThere wouldnât be the current me without Fang Zhao,â Little Bear lamented.
However, upon hearing this, Dankeâs only thoughts were,
Dankeâs mind started to think about all sorts of far-fetched plots he had seen in dramas.
Little Bear interrupted Dankeâs thoughts and said, âIâm still a kid. I donât know.â
Danke scoffed, âAt least you know that much, little brat.â
Danke wasnât too hung up from not getting any answers from Little Bear. He was simply curious about any gossip concerning the top brass of the Inter-Planetary Fund, so he had casually asked. However, he wasnât super invested in it.
âAlright, letâs not talk about all this already. I will bring you drifting!â
Of course, Danke wasnât really talking about real street racing. He didnât dare bring Little Bear drifting. His father and those on top would flay him alive. The street racing he was talking about were holographic races at a racing gaming center.
He wouldnât have anything to be afraid of if Little Bear drove virtually.
At the gaming center, Danke chose a gaming hall. He swept his bangs aside and said, âSit at the back. Brother will bring you for a spin! You shall witness the Racing God of Huangzhouâs driving skills!â
Although this was only a game, the visuals and sensations were rather realistic. If the open roof method was selected, they could even feel a strong wind on their faces.
After choosing the car model, Danke started to drift.
After one round of drifting, Danke flashed Little Bear a dazzling smile and asked, âAm I impressive or what? Are you happy?â
Little Bear was expressionless and scoffed indifferently. âOh.â
âTsk, alright. Since you donât think much of it, I will let you have a taste of my true ability!â
Danke sucked in a deep breath and showed his true skill in the second round, forgetting that Little Bear was in the back seat. He was sure that even if it was a game, his driving this round would have surely scared the little kid. When he turned around, he saw that Little Bear was just staring blankly ahead like an idiot.
âThis isnât how you are supposed to drift,â Little Bear said.
âHeh, teaching me now? Then how do you really drift?â Danke was displeased.
âMove aside.â Little Bear swapped places with Danke and took the driverâs seat.
Danke rushed to the sink and vomited.
This was the first time this self-proclaimed Racing God of Huangzhou felt carsick.
Danke felt like he had been dealt a massive blow. Although the Racing God of Huangzhou was a name he had given himself and was rather boastful, he still felt that his driving ability was quite good. He should be at a god level when it came to racing games!
However, today, a little bear kid had smacked his face really hard!
Danke returned after rinsing his mouth and looked embarrassed. He remained sullen for awhile before saying, âA game is just a game. Driving a real car is different.â
Little Bear didnât like what he heard. âI can also drive.â
âThen wait till you are of age and get your driverâs license.â
âAlright alright alright, you can drive,â Danke replied half-heartedly.
âNot only can I drive, I can even fly a spacecraft!â
âYes, yes, yes, you are awesome!â Danke continued to put on a show. Deep down, he was snickering.
This brat really loves bragging. You might as well just say you piloted the Alkaid!
After recovering, Danke also didnât stay much longer at the gaming center and brought Little Bear back.
âIâm actually very good at gaming. Itâs just that I donât play many racing games now so I have become rusty,â Danke said.
âGiven your standard, wouldnât you be crushed if you played other games?â Little Bear said with disdain.
âHey, that doesnât really happen. Even if I encounter an opponent I canât beat, I just have to call a few of my bros. The strength of someone alone is always insignificant.â
Little Bear appeared to think for a while. Then, he patted Dankeâs shoulder. âDan Dan, thanks for reminding me!â
â⌠What did I remind you about?â Danke suddenly had a foreboding premonition.
âItâs best if you donât have other ideas. Iâm worried.â Danke didnât dare underestimate this bear kidâs destructive ability!
Danke was on the verge of tears. Having run into Fang Zhao when bringing Little Bear out was bad enough. Who knew what his father would say when they got back? Now, Little Bear suddenly saying such a thing scared him sh*tless. God knew what this bear child would do. If Little Bear came up with some bad idea, wouldnât Danke be the one taking the blame?
Little Bear didnât listen to Dankeâs thoughts. He didnât go to Dankeâs place and returned to his own work place instead.
At the engineering floor of the Inter-planetary Fundâs Experimental Base, staffers were astonished when they saw Little Bear. Normally, this kid couldnât wait to run out and have fun when ever he was free. He never did any overtime! Now, Little Bear was supposed to be on vacation. It was very rare for him to not head out during vacation!
Little Bear didnât care about the gazes of others and walked into his own workshop.
He felt that what Danke said was right. Alone he was too weak. Little Riches also wasnât much use. He required helpers!
If he didnât have any helpers, he would just make them!
The Inter-planetary Fund didnât permit him to construct any high intelligence objects, so Little Bear had always felt that there wasnât any need to build another retarded pet. Little Riches was also considered by the Inter-planetary Fund personnel to be highly intelligent. This made Little Bear somewhat depressed. When had the standards for âintelligenceâ become so low?

In his opinion, without that bit of 'soulâ, whatever remained behind would be a stupid object with rigid reasoning and no flexibility!
However, even so, what he wanted to build now was something that had a lower intelligence grade than Little Riches.
Taking a few deep sighs and mulling quite a bit, Little Bear ultimately decided to build two Intelligent+ pets.
He had already thought of their names. One would be called Dogdan and the other would be Dogke.
