?
What surprised Liu Yang the most was what Lucy said-even the president of the White Eagle Empire was planning to undergo mechanical modification?
If that old guy went through with it, maybe he really could cheat death and live several more decades!
If mechanical modification was this miraculous, wouldn't the top brass of the White Eagle Empire eventually replace themselves with machine parts too?
Turns out these bastards actually found a loophole to extend their lifespans.
Liu Yang shook his head, pushing the thought aside.
He headed back inside the villa.
Finding Lucy and Lillian in the lobby, Liu Yang told them, "You two cyborgs don't need to eat, so just pick any room and make yourselves at home. I'm going to grab lunch."
"Understood, Master Liu Yang!" Lucy and Lillian nodded in unison and went off to pick out their rooms.
Liu Yang walked straight to the dining room to join the women for lunch.
After a busy morning scouring six supermarkets and hauling back two cyborg recruits, it was finally time to eat.
As soon as he sat down, the women locked onto him with curious, probing gazes.
He Yushi was the first to speak up. "Hey, Liu Yang, what's the actual difference between those two cyborgs and real flesh-and-blood women? Can you still... you know, use them for that?"
Liu Yang smirked. "Probably. Haven't tested it out yet, but I'll find out tonight."
Zhao Lina chimed in, "They look completely human on the outside, but I wonder how realistic the experience actually is?"
Liu Yang thought back to the male Esper he'd encountered earlier-his equipment had been indistinguishable from the real deal. The female models were likely engineered the same way.
"I'll know after tonight and report back to you all," he teased.
To be fair, Liu Yang was genuinely curious.
He had no idea what test-driving a cybernetic woman was going to feel like!
Tang Mengting snorted playfully. "Every single one of us got knocked up on the very first try, and that mermaid princess is probably pregnant by now too. Now that you've picked up two cyborgs, maybe you'll finally miss your target! Hahaha! No way in hell you can get a robot pregnant!"
Her comment instantly set the rest of the women off into a round of giggles.
Up to this point, Liu Yang's hit rate was a hundred percent. Would these mechanical women finally break his legendary streak?
Liu Yang just flashed a confident, roguish grin. "Don't count on it. Who says my streak has to end here?"
Sure, a cyborg's internal anatomy had been swapped out for hardware and synthetic muscle.
But if they were built with functional reproductive modules, there was a solid chance they retained fertility!
As long as the hardware supported it, Liu Yang was confident he could score a direct hit on the first try.
After all, his infallible hit rate was a perk granted by the system.
It simply didn't fail!
Chen Dan scoffed, "You're just showing off. You seriously expect to get a robot pregnant? Robots don't even have reproductive systems!"
Zhao Lina rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Not necessarily. If their tech is advanced enough to map a human brain onto a machine core, integrating an artificial reproductive tract wouldn't be out of the question..."
Su Xiao's jaw dropped in shock. "Wait, really? If they can do that, what do they even need women for? Cybernetic beauties can be customized to look however you want! If they can bear kids on top of that, wouldn't they completely replace human women?"
"Exactly!" Tang Mengting agreed. "If robots can pop out babies, what's our purpose?"
White Fox chuckled softly. "Who told you a woman's only value is reproducing? If you define your self-worth purely by your ability to bear children, then yeah, you're bound to be replaced. Women can prove their worth through strength, too!"
Zhao Lina shook her head. "Even back before the apocalypse, the White Eagle Empire was heavily researching this. A tech mogul named Max had been trying to launch AI companion androids for years. But companion bots were never going to threaten the status of real women."
Tang Mengting argued, "Why wouldn't they? Look at the two Liu Yang just brought back-gorgeous, immune to disease, never age, don't need to eat, don't even poop, maybe they just leak a little machine oil!
They're basically living goddesses! Normal women can't compete with that advantage!
Add childbearing capabilities to the mix, and they're the ultimate upgrade to human women."
Chen Dan added, "Their looks aren't even set in stone! It's just synthetic skin; you can swap it out whenever you want. Get tired of one face, download a new one!"
Su Xiao's eyes lit up. "Even your body specs are fully adjustable! Want curves? You got curves. Want to scale it up or down? Just tweak the settings. You can practically commission your custom dream waifu!"
Wang Siqi nodded. "Height, figure, personality, voice profiles-all completely customizable. The tactical advantage of a cyborg partner is honestly massive."
Zhou Keke panicked playfully, "And with baby-making tech? That's it, we're all getting replaced!"
Zhao Lina calmly shook her head. "Not a chance. Even in the old world, a high-end smart android cost millions-way out of reach for the average person.
So smart androids never disrupted the dating market for everyday folks.
And filthy rich playboys who could drop millions on a toy robot were never short on women anyway. Even without androids, they'd be hitting up clubs every weekend.
For the wealthy, novelty is cheap. Besides, if you have female androids, you'd better believe male android models exist too-customized to be drop-dead gorgeous, packing whatever muscle mass and specs you want.
They could even feature high-frequency mechanical output to blow a woman's mind.
So companion tech cuts both ways for men and women.
Honestly, the real utility of an android maid in a wealthy household is doing the chores, or stepping in to carry a child using the couple's genetic material. That way, the wife completely skips the physical toll of pregnancy, and the android helps raise the kid afterward, totally liberating her.
When you look at it that way, android maids actually benefit women more than anyone."
The women mulled over Zhao Lina's logic and had to admit it made a lot of sense.
If cyborgs could handle pregnancy, wouldn't that just free women from the burden?
Still, Wang Feifei raised one final doubt. "If a cyborg can do literally everything a human woman can, why would anyone bother getting married?"
Zhao Lina smiled faintly. "Because a cyborg doesn't age, her emotional baseline never shifts. She'll never argue with you, never push back, and will always submit to your commands. But compared to a real person, something's missing.
Maybe only a woman who grows old alongside you can truly understand your soul and make you feel the true meaning of life..."
