The Last 299 Days of Humanity

Chapter 74 Where is the backing?

To be honest, time wasn't on his side. He needed to get to Yaoling as soon as possible to meet up with Chang'e and the others, lest Dangui cause any more unexpected trouble.

The other party may be well aware of this, but deliberately prolongs his time to wear down his spirit.

Yu Qing impatiently chased away the four humanoid beauties, claiming they were incredibly ugly, practically monsters. He even deliberately made things difficult for them, demanding that they send over a few beauties who appeared only once every five hundred years.

To his surprise, four stunningly beautiful women who looked exactly alike arrived shortly afterward. Yes, not humanoid beauties, Yao Dan whispered to him, those four beauties were organic life forms, and possessed 74% human genetic sequences.

Frankly speaking, if he had met them before encountering Gu She, he would have fallen for them immediately. They met almost all his aesthetic standards; they were breathtakingly beautiful.

For a moment, he felt his heart race and was even filled with a strange desire.

But he quickly calmed down and had an idea that even he found unbelievable: this look was too boring, and he wasn't even as attractive as that woman with five points on her chest.

Humans don't find anything remarkable in things that are readily available; essentially, the distinction between beauty and ugliness is merely a matter of human preference. It's only when people experience visual fatigue that they crave something different.

Yu Qing had seen many beautiful faces and was already used to it, but the fact that they sent four at once made him feel even more uncomfortable.

But he had another question about them: Aren't they human? Why are they doing human-like work here? Could it be... that they are the people behind the scenes here?
He decided to humiliate them first, gesturing for the four beauties to sit beside him. If they were truly the rightful owners of this place, they would surely be furious.

He deliberately pinched one of the women's lips in a flirtatious tone and said, "Did you take a shower last night? I smell urine on you."

To everyone's surprise, the beautiful woman wasn't angry at all. Instead, she kept apologizing and even replied that she hadn't had time to take a shower yet.

Yu Qing retorted sarcastically, "I understand. There's a long line of people waiting to serve you; who has time to waste on a bath? Besides, it's pointless; our greasy hands will just get them dirty..."

“No, sir. I was born just ten minutes ago and came straight here.”

Yu Qing was utterly astonished. He stood up, trembling, and said, "How is this possible? How can a human have such a large baby, and..."

"I think you've misunderstood. I'm not human, but a humanoid girl born on the production line."

"But you are clearly a biological organism, and you have more than 70% human genes."

"That's right, but I still created the product using genetic engineering methods. It only took six months from raw materials to finished product."

"It's all in chaos, it's really in chaos... damn it."

"No. We were created to better serve humanity, not to compete for human identity."

"Do humans still have identities? Even if they do, they're not worth mentioning. The world is full of Nuwas; they can dig up a lump of mud and mold it into a person, and even create a head shaped like a die at will."

"Yes, I think so too. As long as you're happy, why bother about this?"

Yu Qing grabbed her hand and looked at it, saying, "Your skin doesn't look like a baby's; you look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl."

"You have a good eye. When we log off, we're equivalent to eighteen years old in human years." "Will we age like humans too? Eventually become a wrinkled old woman?"

"Yes, we will grow old, but we will never become wrinkled old women. Our life cycle usually ends around the age of twenty-eight."

"Huh? A defect? ​​Why is its lifespan so short?"

"To achieve high-speed production, we lack a digestive system like humans, so we must consume a specially formulated nutrient solution throughout our lives. However, long-term consumption of this nutrient solution will cause our organs to fail rapidly."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "So, you're all just hollow radishes, only looking like people on the outside."

"No, not really. Our other organs are basically the same as those of humans, including sex characteristics and sensory abilities."

"Do you, like people, experience selfish thoughts, jealousy, rebellion, or a desire to be in charge?"

“We are born with fixed thoughts and values. Of course, when faced with specific situations, we will also have emotional reactions similar to those of humans within a certain range.”

Yu Qing remained silent for a while. He wanted to tell her to let them all leave, but suddenly felt a pang of pity and swallowed his words.

He would rather deal with humanoid beauties like Yao Dan than get entangled with artificial humans like them.

However, he still wanted to use them to subtly inquire about the details of those three-headed, six-armed people who controlled everything in the water collection, where they lived, and how many of them there were.

To everyone's surprise, the beautiful woman replied, "I...we don't know either...I was just born, I probably don't know as much as you do! Besides, we wouldn't know such confidential matters."

Yu Qing was greatly disappointed. He made a few perfunctory remarks and then dragged Yao Dan and the others to another venue, intending to find another place to cause trouble. He had lost this round.

It seems that forcing the guy behind the water curtain in this episode to come out won't be so easy. But since they went to so much trouble to bring him back without harming him, they'll definitely want to see him, they just want him to "beg" them for an audience.

"Damn it, what do you think they want? I'm just a worthless bachelor, is I worth all this trouble?"

Yao Dan laughed and said, "Husband, their leader might be a woman who wants to keep you here as her wife... no, as her husband."

"That's utter nonsense. They can create humans at will; they can have any kind of person they want. Why would they care about a troublemaker like me?"

"My lord, you just admitted that you are a troublemaker. To be honest, you are a very cunning person, and we admire you to the core."

Yu Qing laughed and said, "First you belittled me for being cunning, then you say you admire me. Then show me your admiration by prostrating yourself before I do."

Upon hearing this, Yao Dan immediately knelt down on the ground and asked loudly, "Is that so?"

Yu Qing slapped her on the buttocks and said, "You're such a slut. Why don't you stick your butt out a little higher so I don't have to bend over to hit you?"
