The Last 299 Days of Humanity

Chapter 4: Was I Originally a Big Shot?

Yu Qing restored the hotel's power supply, but was kicked out by the bar's management robot as a result, which was a great irony.

He stood outside the gate, completely at a loss, and could only lean against a pillar in the porch and doze off for half the night.

If he can't get into the hotel, he'll run out of food again.

He knew that without passing the authentication system, it would be impossible to get in.

He has no identity outside of the First Paradise, and although the information in that authentication system may be from over a hundred years ago, his information will not appear in it.

He suddenly thought of a question.

In reality, this is a winery managed by robots that was abandoned more than a hundred years ago. Therefore, they are not given new instructions or updated data. However, this leaves a logical loophole.

He is only 29 years old, and the authentication system should be able to detect him. So how can it use resident information from more than a hundred years ago to prove that he is not a legal citizen?
So he went to the authentication system again and shouted to the two humanoid figures inside the gate:

"Your system is malfunctioning. Don't you think this is absurd? You're using information from over 100 years ago to verify a 29-year-old legal citizen?"

The two humanoid figures exchanged a glance, seemingly realizing their mistake, and quickly said:
"My king, I'm sorry, this is obviously unreasonable. But we've lost contact with the satellite and can't update information. Adhering to the principle of customer first, we have unanimously decided to activate Special Temporary Regulation No. 1."

He asked, "What regulations?"

The man said, "You have been granted temporary legal residency for thirty days. You can check into a hotel by paying 2 RB."

He hurriedly said, "Pay...what? How do I pay?"

The humanoid man stared at him for a moment, then said in surprise, "You don't have any digital property certificates? Has it been changed...?"

He asked, feigning impatience, "So, can I get in or not?"

The humanoid said awkwardly, "My king, I'm very sorry, but I'm not authorized to let you in under these circumstances. However..."

"But what?" he asked.

The humanoid man replied, "You can seek help from that humanoid woman named Ai Shen at the archway; she has been implanted with a special module..."

Before the humanoid man could finish speaking, he hurriedly asked, "Special module?"

"Yes, because she was promoting herself, she had a module implanted that could identify her background and social connections through biometrics in order to accurately introduce herself."

He chuckled, "That's because it judges people by their status! It prioritizes wealthy families..."

However, he quickly suppressed his smile and began to worry again.

Because he is not part of the social relationships outside of the First Paradise!

We can only try and see if we can fool these damn machines.

As he walked over, he found Ai Shen, who had changed into a new outfit, smiling and greeting him.

She took his hand, looked at him for a moment, and said, "Ah, my king, it is a pleasure to meet you here."

"Huh? How happy are you? Do you know who I am?"

"Yes, although I can't find your information here, I know your identity."

Based on your biological characteristics and genetic analysis, you are the eighth-generation descendant of Yu Yunshan.

Mr. Yu Yunshan was once the chairman of the world's second-largest conglomerate, possessing a fortune of 170 trillion RB. He was also the largest shareholder of Shengtian.

Yu Qing was taken aback. His father had never mentioned Yu Yunshan to him before, but Ai Shen's words must be true.

Suddenly, Ai Shen hugged his neck warmly and said:

"My king, you are too modest. You must have at least 6 trillion RB in wealth."

Yu Qing asked, "Where is the wealth? Where is it?"

Ai Shen said, "That's right. Yu Yunshan's grandson, Yu Qian, insisted on living the original ecological human life and moved into the first paradise of original ecological humans in 2B36."

Grandpa thought he was too willful, and that his descendants would definitely not be able to stand on their own in the new human society when they came out.

Therefore, Yu Yunshan established a foundation, leaving Yu Qian's descendants a fortune of 100 trillion RMB.

You are one of Yu Qian's descendants, and calculations show that you can lead at least 6 trillion RMB.

However, my records are still from 118 years ago.

Yes, Yu Qian is indeed my father's great-grandfather!

With captivating charm, Ai Shen rested his head on Yu Qing's shoulder and said, "My king, buy me!"

Yu Qing laughed and said, "Okay, but I can't pay right now."

"Of course you can't pay, the satellite is out of contact now."

However, we can sign a purchase agreement. According to our company's regulations, you can purchase 6 million RB worth of our products on a "use first, pay later" basis. I only need 99 RB.

"Okay, then I'll use it first and pay later. I'll buy it from you."

Aishen jumped up with joy, grabbed his hand tightly, and said:

"Then let's sign the bio-binding licensing and purchase agreement now!"

What is bio-binding?

Ai Shen said, "It means that my characteristics are linked to your biometrics."

For example, if I register you at a hotel, once the hotel records my information and links it to yours, you can come and go freely without having to do anything.

"You're pinning the blame on me for what you did wrong?"

“I won’t do anything wrong. I am a registered second citizen and have undergone rigorous behavior suitability testing.”

"You were sitting there almost naked yesterday, does that also comply with the principle of appropriateness?"

“It doesn’t fit. But I’m not the Ai Shen who was sitting here yesterday. She’s already packed herself up because she violated the rules. I just unpacked this and came here to replace her.”

Yu Qing said, "I'm tired. Let's sign the agreement quickly so you can register me at the hotel and I can finally go in."

Ai Shen said, "Sign it! I can't wait!"

"Where... do I sign this?"

Ai Shen said angrily, "Just look into my eyes and kiss me."

Yu Qing hugged Ai Shen, kissed her deeply, and asked:
"Does this mean that every time I kiss you from now on, I'm signing an agreement, and in the end, I'm selling myself to you?"

Ai Shen looked at him affectionately and said, "Only we humanoids can seal our fate with a kiss. I have irreversibly become your undying lover."

If one day you don't want me anymore, I'll have no choice but to pack me up and return me to the factory for disassembly.

Yu Qing laughed and said, "Can't I even resell it to someone else?"

"No, I must remain faithful to one person until the end."

"Wow, a fierce woman from the 20th century. Could you please check me into a hotel first?"

“I’ll go right away, honey. But you don’t have a property number, so you can’t make the payment directly.”

But can we use Shengtian's credit loan, with an interest rate of 10% and a credit line of 5 million RB?

"Sure, you can pay as you please, and you don't need to ask me again."

"Okay, darling, this also needs authorization. Please kiss me."

It was Ai Shen's influence that made her decide to intervene. The two humanoid figures who had been refusing to let Yu Qing in earlier immediately greeted them with smiles and welcomed them inside.

Yu Qing thought to himself that he was now a potential big shot.

However, he had not yet adapted to his new identity. As soon as he entered the hall, he grabbed Ai Shen and gestured for her to stop.

"What's wrong, darling?" "I'm not like you guys, you can't just recharge remotely. I need to eat. There are some leftovers in that cake room..."

"Is it your birthday? How come there's a cake of yours here?"

Yu Qing said sheepishly, "I found it yesterday..."

Ai Shen smiled and said, "Darling, you're so funny. But I understand what you're saying. I'll order for you right away. Please wait a moment."

After a while, Ashin returned and said, "I'm sorry, darling, the food station is malfunctioning and will not be able to provide food for three days."

Yu Qing panicked upon hearing this and rushed to the cake room, only to find that the cakes on the counter had already been disposed of as garbage.

The particle gun he had temporarily left here is also gone.

Ai Shen followed and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"

Yu Qing pointed to the table and said, "Where are my things?"

Ai Shen said, "Don't worry, I'll go find it for you right away."

A moment later, Ai Shen ran back and said, "Darling, is that the gun you have?"

According to regulations, the items must be kept by the administrator and will only be returned to you when you leave.

But is that expired sticky powder also yours? They asked how you plan to dispose of it.

Yu Qing said, "Thank God I won't starve to death!"

Ash blinked and exclaimed, "Honey, I guess you want to eat those sticky powders, right?"
This is not good for your health.

"Health? If I don't eat for three days, I'll starve to death."

"I understand, darling. I'll take you to your room now and have them bring the sticky powder there, okay?"

Yu Qing pinched Ai Shen's cheek and laughed, "He's quite understanding and not unreasonable."

"Thank you for your praise. I will continue to learn, understand your temperament and hobbies, and be a helping hand to you."

"In ancient times, having three hands was not a good title."

“My dear, I misspoke. But my king, you really are a thief king, you have stolen my heart.”

"You're really good at learning, and you've even started joking with me."

"If you look me in the eyes with affection every time you speak, I will be able to understand you better and make you happy."

Yu Qing twisted his waist and yawned.

Ai Shen quickly went over and picked him up in his arms, saying:
"Honey, I'll take you to your room to take a shower and rest, and give you a back massage."

"I didn't expect you to be such a strongman."

Ai Shen smiled and said, "Let's go."

Yu Qing then noticed that Ai Shen's shoes had a row of small wheels.

She carried Yu Qing steadily to the edge of the stairs, and with a leap, slid down the handrail to the third floor.

The room number was immediately displayed on the floor of the corridor, and an arrow guided them to 308.

The invisible door opened immediately. After they went inside, it closed automatically.

The bathwater was already prepared, and a service-type humanoid girl, slightly shorter than Ai Shen, was standing by the bathtub.

Ash gently placed him on the ground, helped him remove his protective suit, and took the helmet from his hand, placing it on the coat hanger.

"Darling, you're really something else, you don't wear underwear."

Yu Qing stood there naked, a little embarrassed, and said, "My clothes are torn..."

Ai Shen gently picked him up and carried him to the bathtub.

Yu Qing lay in the bathtub. Ai Shen supported his head with one hand and massaged his waist with the other.

Another humanoid girl sat in the bathtub, her legs supporting his back, while her hands applied shower gel to his chest.

Only then did he understand why they called him "my king".

He closed his eyes in bliss. Two pairs of gentle, smooth hands lightly caressed his skin.

After a while, he felt hot all over.

Ai Shen leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Darling, don't worry, it'll be over soon. I'll make sure you get a good night's sleep."

He pointed to the service-type humanoid girl, and Ai Shen understood, letting her leave the room.

Ai Shen quickly wrapped Yu Qing in a bath towel, dried him off, and put him in bed.

...

After a passionate encounter, Yu Qing fell asleep with his head on Ai Shen's hand.

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Qing woke up hungry, his stomach growling.

At this moment, Ai Shen gently came to his bedside, holding a plate in both hands, with a bowl of sticky rice noodles on one side and three cups of water on the other.

She knelt down, held the plate close, and said as if she had done something wrong:

"Honey, I'm so sorry, the workstation malfunctioned, so this is all I can give you. Please forgive my incompetence."

Yu Qing had no time to reply; he picked up the bowl and started shoveling sticky rice noodles into his mouth, finishing them in no time.

Then he picked up the water, drank it all in one gulp.

He let out a burp. Ai Shen put down the plate, came over, and patted his back.

He joked, "Aren't you going to move away a little? I'm about to unleash a barrage of questions..."

Ai Shen laughed and said, "My dear is just different from everyone else, even his farts smell good."

"You really know everything. Can you tell me how your brain is made?"

"Before I left the factory, they had already inputted almost all the information from the National Library of China into my brain, except for the restricted and confidential parts."

"Then tell me, which bastard invented this sticky powder? It's so creative."

“Darling, you can’t call him that. The one who invented this sticky powder was your ancestor eight generations back. His name was Yu Yunshan, and he was also the patent holder for synthetic food.”

“But my father told me that synthetic food is the worst invention in human history, that it destroyed the foundation of human civilization.”

“If you say so, then so be it. However, this thing has caused a great deal of debate on Earth. In the end, the mainstream opinion was that it would liberate all mankind, and thus it became popular.”

Yu Qing didn't know how to answer the question either. He stretched and took Ai Shen's hand, saying:
"This bed is so comfortable. I wish I could be with you again... but I don't think I have the strength left..."

Ai Shen kissed Yu Qing and said, "Darling, I'll order some Dali Pills for you. Shengtian Company's Dali Pills are the safest and most effective aphrodisiacs in the world."

Yu Qing chuckled and said, "That Shengtian Company is really omnipresent. You're not allowed to do anything for Shengtian anymore... what's it called... right, it's called advertising."

"Okay, darling. But you don't even have a single outfit right now. Should I order a few sets of clothes from Shengtian for you?"

"Didn't you lose contact with them? How do you order?"

"I can book it for you."

"Should I kiss you again before you sign your autograph?"

“Honey, no need, you’ve already given the authorization.”

Suddenly, a piercing sound rang out in the room.
