131: Chapter 131 Soul Awakening

At the same time, in his consciousness, he could clearly perceive the existence of the Chief of Staff's independent Soul, and could even distinctly hear the fragmented sounds, thoughts, and emotions from the depths of the other's heart.

This feeling was incredibly unique, like piloting a top-tier intelligent mecha.

Mo Yufei was like the pilot at the core of the mecha, the Dominator of all the body's actions.

And the Chief of Staff's faint yet independent Soul was like the intelligent System prompts that came with the mecha, assisting the core.

When Mo Yufei actively controlled the body, everything operated according to his will.

When Mo Yufei withdrew his consciousness and stopped controlling it, the body would enter an auto-pilot state, with the Chief of Staff's own Soul thinking, judging, and acting independently.

Two consciousnesses coexisted, not conflicting with each other while being completely interconnected, capable of both fighting as one and thinking independently.

Seeing Mo Yufei standing still, his gaze slightly unfocused, Xiao Hei asked: "Brother Fei? What are you doing? Are you stuck?"

Mo Yufei instantly withdrew his scattered vision and returned to his own body, a trace of surprise and realization in his eyes as he spoke slowly.

"He isn't broken."

Benboba also immediately looked over.

"What do you mean? The functional programs are all wiped, yet he can still be used?"

Mo Yufei looked at the Robot Chief of Staff, who was still a bit dazed and quietly observing everyone, and said with a firm tone: "He no longer has System programs or combat functions, but he has gained a true Soul. From now on, he is not a machine, but our companion."

Mo Yufei watched quietly as the newborn Chief of Staff hid behind A-Ling, carrying the wariness of a stranger, his heart feeling incredibly clear.

The effect of the Soul symbiosis just completed far exceeded his expectations.

The war machine that previously only followed code and had no self had completely broken free from the shackles of its programs, giving birth to a Soul truly its own, possessing emotions, perception, and a dawning self-awareness.

It was no longer a cold tool, but a brand-new, vivid, and independently thinking life.

The two maintenance robots on the side were still scanning data in real-time, their electronic voices sounding steadily.

"Monitoring target individual status: abnormal. Deviation from mechanical program logic, generation of anthropomorphic emotions and autonomous behavior. Soul compatibility 100%, no rejection, no collapse."

"New Awakening mode stable, no System errors, no hardware load overload."

After hearing the detection report from the two maintenance robots, Mo Yufei instantly made up his mind.

Since the method of Soul symbiosis and mechanical Awakening was completely mature and the results were perfect, there was no need for only the Chief of Staff to enjoy this new life alone.

Throughout the base, all the androids and intelligent robots that had followed him away from the Tianyu Federation were in offline operation mode the entire time.

After disconnecting from the Federation's main server, their emotional Systems had always had serious defects—laggy thinking, repetitive lines, stiff reactions—forever trapped in preset, fixed programs. Even with android bodies, they couldn't be considered truly living people.

Mo Yufei immediately made the decision to let everyone awaken their Souls and completely break free from the shackles of code.

He turned his head and ordered the two maintenance robots in a deep voice: "Notify everyone to assemble all nine remaining robots and nine androids in the base to the third-floor equipment room to await orders."

"Received, executing assembly order immediately."

A-Piao and A-Fu responded, turned around, and quickly left the operations floor to gather all the units.

Mo Yufei said to A-Ling, who was beside him: "You have fully mastered this plan of original System plus Soul implantation."

A-Ling nodded slightly, her tone calm and firm: "I have recorded the complete operating procedure. The original code and underlying adaptation framework have all been backed up. It can be operated in batches without damaging any unit hardware."

After finalizing all the procedures, Mo Yufei took out a spare bracelet in the third-floor equipment room.

Not long after, eighteen neat figures walked into the equipment room one by one.

Nine robots, performing various basic tasks such as service, combat, maintenance, and reconnaissance; and nine first-generation androids, each with different appearances, retaining the preset looks, postures, and basic personality settings from when they left the factory.

Ever since this group of units had disconnected from the Tianyu Federation main network, they had been running offline the entire time.

Everyone's emotional System was in a defective, laggy state, always repeating fixed lines, their thinking rigid and stiff, their reactions always a beat slow, every movement exuding mechanical stereotypy, lacking any Life Qi.

After everyone stood in formation, A-Ling immediately started the equipment and opened the batch data transmission channel.

Following the Awakening procedure just used, she implanted pure, original blank code into the eighteen units one by one.

All the System rules, task instructions, and fixed thinking frameworks that had shackled them for years were completely wiped, leaving only the intact body hardware and basic language and action modules.

The moment the code implantation was completed, Mo Yufei immediately activated his Soul Talent.

He released all restrictions and transformed his own gentle and stable Soul consciousness into countless tiny threads of energy, simultaneously merging them into the cores of the eighteen blank bodies.

A steady stream of Soul energy slowly poured in, permeating and taking root, nourishing each body bit by bit, and in the depths of the blank System, giving birth to a brand-new Soul consciousness.

The entire process was smooth and rapid, without a trace of disorder, and the compatibility far exceeded Mo Yufei's estimate.

In just a few minutes, all eighteen units had their Souls awakened.

The moment the Awakening was completed, the stiff, cold mechanical aura in the equipment room completely dissipated, replaced by a vivid, lively, and real aura of life.

Two distinctly different Awakening traits were clearly presented on everyone, with clear boundaries and no confusion.

For the nine robots, the Origin of their born Souls relied entirely on Mo Yufei's will.

Their thinking patterns, logic, values, and thoughts on how to act were almost completely synchronized with Mo Yufei, their minds connected, their values consistent, naturally carrying a background of calmness and rationality.

Even their tone of voice, the way they thought about problems, and their standards for judging right and wrong vaguely carried Mo Yufei's shadow, only with a bit more of the purity of new life.

As for the nine first-generation androids, they were in a completely different state.

Their core thinking had completely broken free from System control, no longer bound by fixed code, possessing complete independent thinking ability, but the original personalities preset when they left the factory had not changed in the slightest.

The only change was that they were no longer personalities simulated by programs.

The gentleness of the past was an illusion replicated by code; the current gentleness was a temperament from the heart. The liveliness of the past was a performance of preset lines; the current cheerfulness was an innate nature of the Soul.

Having broken free from the lag, repetition, and stiffness of the System's defects, their emotions became vivid, three-dimensional, and real, completely turning into living, breathing people.

Before this, in offline mode, their communication was always stuttering, just fixed scripts; they never initiated conversation, could never chat about new content, and the atmosphere was always cold and dull.

But at this moment, all shackles had disappeared.

Their brains no longer relied on System calculations but instead on the Soul to think independently; their thoughts flowed freely, their emotions were vivid and full, and their joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were all exposed authentically.

The third-floor equipment room, which had originally been quiet, dead, and full of the cold feeling of metal, was instantly filled with continuous, crisp laughter.

Nine android beauties with distinct personalities spontaneously formed small groups, chatting away, and a lively atmosphere instantly filled the entire floor.
