This is not how you drive a machine!

Chapter 18 Are you being cute?

"You'll pay for it, right?"

Zhou Yun squatted down, looked at the charming face of the jackdaw, and with a fierce expression, he knocked the ground with a wrench, sending out a few sparks.

Do you think I will be fooled by your face?

Very good, you are afraid of being beaten, right? Then just scare him hard.

"Then give me the money."

Seeing the sparks flying out from the ground, the jackdaw hugged his knees and curled up into a ball, shivering in the corner like a frightened rabbit.

"I...I have no money!"

"Okay, then I'll call the police and ask WMC to pay me compensation."

As soon as Zhou Yun took out his cell phone, Jackdaw slapped it to the ground.

"Please don't call the police, please."

Looking at the cracks exploding on the phone screen, Zhou Yun felt his pulse singing the symphony of fate.

"I'm sorry, it must be very important to you."

Jackdaw stretched out his hand tremblingly, trying to help Zhou Yun pick up the phone.

"Don't move! Don't move!"

Zhou Yun shouted, staring at Jackdaw closely, then carefully squatted down to pick up the phone. He was really afraid that Jackdaw would make another move.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he picked up the phone and found that only the screen was cracked.

It’s okay, it won’t affect my work at the Linglu Club tomorrow.

But what's going on with this girl?

He looks as timid as a mouse, but why does he act like a tiger when he moves?
Zhou Yun estimated that if he mentioned calling the police again, there would be nothing left for him in the store.

"Okay, I won't call the police. Then tell me how you should accompany me."

"Clothes."

"You want clothes?"

Zhou Yun narrowed his eyes.

"You still want clothes without money?"

The jackdaw said anxiously, "Clothes, there are..."

"You mean there's money in the clothes?"

Zhou Yun thought about it and went upstairs to take down Jackdaw's clothes.

"Here you go, but you don't even know how to wash it. It smells so bad. Which trash can did you dig this out from?"

Jackdaw snatched her clothes away. After getting them, her expression became much calmer, like a kitten that had found a litter box.

"Where did the money come from in this clothes? I've searched through it..."

Zhou Yun was halfway through his words when he saw Jackdaw flip open his leather jacket and grope around the center line on the back of the clothes, which surprised him a little.

He had only searched his pockets for any identification of the Jackdaw, not thinking there was anything hidden there.

Who in their right mind would hide things there?
Is it possible that he is really rich?

When Zhou Yun was puzzled, he saw Jackdaw take out half a bag of Little Bear instant noodles from the gap in the wiring. After taking it out, she quickly broke off a piece and stuffed it into her mouth, and handed the rest to Zhou Yun.

"Here, here you go. I usually don't want to eat it, so I'll compensate you."

"???"

Are you being cute?

"Are you kidding? You don't think that's enough."

"Why not! This is the best thing I have!"

The jackdaw said pitifully, "I haven't eaten anything for a day. I'll give it to you. Delicious food! It's very important!"

Zhou Yun's brain froze for a few seconds before he figured out the logic of this girl.

She destroyed something very important to her, so she gave him her most important thing in compensation.

"..."

After taking a look at the damaged mecha on Jackdaw and then at the worn clothes on the ground, he already knew in his heart that this was a stray mecha girl.

He couldn't help but recall his wandering experience.

They hadn't eaten for four days and were starving, so he snatched a half-eaten hamburger from a child on the street and stuffed it into his mouth.

As a result, before he could even eat, the child's family mistook him for a human trafficker and chased him for two blocks, with his clothes torn like a torn sack.

He was then taken to the police station, where a police officer bought him a box lunch and asked if he would accept mediation. At that moment, he truly felt that the whole world was less important than the pork rice in front of him.

"Hungry? Wait a minute."

……

"good to eat!"

Jackdaw sat on a low stool at the door of the repair shop, holding a large bowl, picking up the instant noodles inside and stuffing them into his mouth greedily.

Under the light of the street lamp, the layers of oil on her face reflected the light, and her hair swayed like stars.

"Eat slowly, there's more."

Zhou Yun pushed Jackdaw's hair aside to prevent her from eating too fast and stuffing her hair into her mouth, but she almost got her finger bitten.

This must be due to hunger.

"If you're looking for clothes, go ahead and find clothes. Why are you dismantling my TV? Don't you know TVs are expensive?"

After swallowing the noodles, Jackdaw said naturally, "I don't know! My sister told me that TV is a treasure box that can hold anything. But when you take it apart, you find it's just a pile of circuit boards."

"..."

What kind of logic is this?

"How many bags of Little Bear instant noodles can I get for this TV?"

Faced with Jackdaw's question, Zhou Yun quickly came up with an answer.

It is known that a bag of Little Bear instant noodles costs 5 cents, and a TV costs 6300. The final conversion is nothing more than 6300 multiplied by 2... Why am I calculating this?
"You'll get enough Little Bear instant noodles in return to make King Jiji jealous." Zhou Yun said with a smile, "And then those Marabou guys will tear you apart and sell the parts."

"What are you talking about!"

Jackdaw turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun scratched his head in embarrassment. Is it possible that this robot girl is not easy to deceive?

"They can't do that!" she said seriously. "Maloo doesn't have the technology to do that."

"..."

"But it's really expensive!" Jackdaw patted Zhou Yun's shoulder and said with a sassy look on his face, "Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you!"

Looking at Jackdaw's confident look, Zhou Yun burst out laughing.

"You have to exchange it for money. I won't accept Little Bear Instant Noodles!"

"what?"

The night wind blew through the street, sometimes gentle, sometimes violently. Jackdaw held the large bowl and licked the soup base carefully, then wiped the corner of his mouth with an unsatisfied look.

"I……"

"That's all I have in strategic reserves!" Zhou Yun pointed at the long pile of instant noodle buckets and sausage packaging on the ground and said, "There really is nothing left."

Jackdaw looked at the food packaging on the ground, his face flushed, he lowered his head, tapped his chest with two fingers, feeling very guilty.

How could I have accidentally eaten so much?

"I, am I eating too much..."

Seeing the guilty look on Jackdaw's face, Zhou Yun smiled knowingly and rubbed Jackdaw's head tenderly and dotingly.

"Ah."

“It feels like feeding pigs.”

The jackdaw blinked blankly, and then a light appeared in his eyes.

"So you're a pig farmer? My sister said pig farmers are amazing! They can dig out treasures from clam shells! A pile of calcium carbonate that looks like human bones!"

"..."

Zhou Yun, who wanted to see Jackdaw transform into Steam Princess, now had a thousand words stuck in his throat and didn't know how to spit them out.

Like a thorn in the back, like a fishbone stuck in the throat.

Who taught this girl common sense?
The evil taste in his heart disappeared, and Zhou Yun said with a wry smile: "I'm not a pig farmer, I'm a racing driver."

"Racing driver?"

"Hey, that's impressive, isn't it? I'm officially going to work at the club tomorrow. By the way, have you ever participated in a competition?"

"Contest……"

Several images suddenly flashed through Jackdaw's mind.

The race start light, the dusty asphalt road, the alarm for leaving safety limits, the silver-white flames, the wall approaching at high speed, the spinning sky...

Her body swayed and her pupils dilated suddenly.
