Oh, so that's why the robots call him King.
To be honest, Ji Zhaoming wasn't the one who created the robot; he was simply given the title of "King" because of his human identity.
It looks like it was stolen.
Ji Zhaoming wrapped his arms around his legs, buried his head in his lap, and glanced at the tall and imposing robot out of the corner of his eye.
As a human, he couldn't stand in the shoes of the robots or other races to comment on anything. But through the content of the film, Ji Zhaoming always felt that the robots didn't really not want to occupy the territory, but rather stopped for some reason.
Ji Zhaoming wrapped his arms around her legs, tilted her head, and asked, "Why did you stop?"
The robot stared at Ji Zhaoming for a long time before solemnly saying, "Because of you."
Ji Zhaoming paused for a moment, then quickly looked at the video again.
Sure enough, at the end of the film, he saw a small, thin figure. Because it was surrounded by flames, the figure was so small that he hadn't noticed it at all the first time he watched it.
This is no longer the era he lived in.
Ji Zhaoming thought for a moment and asked, "May I go outside and take a look?"
The robot immediately tensed up: "Your Majesty, you've just recovered, it's cold outside."
Ji Zhaoming smiled and said, "Don't call me King, just call me Zhaoming."
That won't do.
But robots never defy humans, so they simply stared intently at Ji Zhaoming to express their refusal.
Glug glug.
In a daze, Ji Zhaoming heard the sound of flames rolling inside the iceberg.
Having no other choice, Ji Zhaoming had to skip the topic: "I just woke up and I'm curious about what the outside world is like. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
After saying that, he felt a burning sensation in his nose.
He wiped it with his hand, and the bright red blood stained his slender fingertips, a shocking sight.
The robot panicked and forcefully pinned Ji Zhaoming to the bed, then brought in equipment to perform a full-body examination.
Robots also have lifespans, but they are much longer than those of ordinary living beings. The robots standing in front of Ji Zhaoming still have a limited understanding of humanity, based on books.
The books written by the robots depicted the weakness and fragility of humankind.
—But I didn’t expect it to be so weak and fragile; it started bleeding before I even touched it.
An emergency alarm rang out in the quiet building, and upon hearing it, even the robots in other rooms began rushing towards it.
In the ensuing chaos, the robots, which had previously appeared orderly and calm, engaged in an unbelievable incident: due to their frantic movements, some of them even collided with each other.
This can't go on, so the robot that had been communicating with Ji Zhaoming started to give instructions.
The room was crowded, so he moved some of the robots out of the room and told the robots outside not to squeeze in anymore, leaving Wang enough space to breathe.
The remaining robots are responsible for adjusting the equipment.
After reading the film's synopsis, Ji Zhaoming thought for a moment and asked the commanding robot, "Are you the leader here?"
The robot froze, regretting that it hadn't fought for the leadership position.
Even if he were given another hundred years, he probably still wouldn't be able to seize the leadership. His large frame stiffened for a moment, then he began to shrink back, looking extremely forlorn. He shook his head: "No."
Ji Zhaoming smiled slightly at him and asked gently, "So, what's your name?"
"I have no name, no one named me."
The earliest robots were named by humans, but unfortunately, humans eventually died out, and there were no more people to name them.
The robot's eyes lit up as it looked at Ji Zhaoming expectantly.
Ji Zhaoming: "...?"
Regardless, he was already the king of the robots, and Ji Zhaoming tried to read something from that look in his eyes.
Before entering the nutrient chamber, Ji Zhaoming tentatively asked, "You want me... can I name you?"
The robot's eyes lit up immediately.
"Knock knock knock".
Footsteps could be heard outside the door.
The footsteps were neither hurried nor slow, as if tapping on Ji Zhaoming's heart.
Even the robot in front of them shivered, instinctively wanting to greet the people outside, but when it saw Ji Zhaoming, it forcibly held back.
Ji Zhaoming lay completely inside the nutrient chamber, the lid closed, blocking out the outside light.
He only had time to catch a glimpse of a blurry shadow.
He was very tall, and his appearance was that of a human, with neat short hair and a blue-black uniform.
However, standing among a group of robots, his height makes him inconspicuous.
Ji Zhaoming vaguely thought: So he wasn't the only human.
Then he heard the robots outside shout in unison, "Leader."
"Um."
The voice was cold and clear, and...
The sound was almost identical to the one Ji Zhaoming heard when he was in the car accident.
Ji Zhaoming opened his eyes instantly, straightened up to look outside, completely forgetting that there was a lid on his head, and bumped straight into it with a bang.
Ji Zhaoming's brows furrowed deeply in pain.
The inspection was completed quickly.
The radiation here is quite high, and Ji Zhaoming's body, which hasn't undergone any modifications, can't withstand such a strong stimulus, hence the nosebleed. Fortunately, the medical equipment here is complete, and Ji Zhaoming only needs an injection.
"Chief, this is the king."
"Hmm. You're awake?"
Compared to the other robots, the robot called "King" didn't have a warm voice and asked a few questions in a lukewarm manner.
When did you wake up?
"Oh, the human body is fragile, remember to do the follow-up work well too."
He was not called king.
His tone was casual, as if he were questioning someone insignificant.
This actually put Ji Zhaoming's mind at ease.
He was just an ordinary person, and he was afraid that he was not worthy of the title of "King".
After asking a few questions, the leader prepared to leave. Just then, Ji Zhaoming finished his injection, and the lid of the nutrient tank was opened.
Ji Zhaoming got up and peered at the robot leader outside from the edge.
He was very handsome, with sharp features and neatly styled short black hair. He was fair-skinned, with deep and beautiful features, a straight nose, thin lips, and a perpetually pursed mouth. He was serious and never smiled, exuding a cold aura that could freeze anyone in place.
Upon hearing the noise, the leader quickly turned his head and glanced at Ji Zhaoming.
His eyes seemed to hold an unfathomable abyss.
This made Ji Zhaoming's heart pause for a moment.
Fortunately, his ability to accept things had greatly improved, and he quickly realized what was happening. He pursed his lips and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
He had just come out of the nutrient solution, and he was soaked through. His smooth hair was wet, with water still dripping from the ends, and his thin shirt was wet and clung tightly to his body.
Its eyes drooped, and its long, thick eyelashes fluttered uneasily. Knowing it was causing trouble for others, it clung pitifully to the side of the nutrient tank.
The man referred to as the leader casually rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms: "Hmm."
He looks like a clothes hanger; when he's dressed, he doesn't appear particularly muscular. However, once his arms are exposed, you can see the clear lines and muscles on them.
This is a good example of someone who looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique when undressed.
After rolling up his sleeves, he glanced at Ji Zhaoming.
Then, it stopped.
He strode up to Ji Zhaoming. Although he was shorter than the robots, he had a more imposing presence.
The man called the leader blinked, a hint of doubt in his eyes, which instantly dissipated the chilling aura surrounding him.
Ji Zhaoming gripped the edge tighter: "Hello, my name is Ji Zhaoming."
The surrounding robots tensed up.
The leader stands at the pinnacle of the robots, and has never been seen to submit to anyone.
They weren't even interested in human literature. When they first discovered Ji Zhaoming, the only human, the leader didn't even give him a second glance. Now, upon hearing that the only human had awakened, he simply gave a lukewarm "oh."
Humans are so weak, I don't know if they can withstand a punch from the leader.
Just as the robot was about to stop the leader's actions, it suddenly heard the leader hesitate and mumble, "...King?"
He never addressed anyone as "King".
However, after the first shout, the second one was much easier. The leader stared at Ji Zhaoming, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his serious face. His words were so clear that Ji Zhaoming couldn't deny them.
The leader said, "Your Majesty."
"..." Ji Zhaoming blinked. "You were possessed too?"
A note from the author:
Leader: How should I express my loyalty to my king?

Chapter 3
Are you an adult?
Ji Zhaoming noticed that the man frowned slightly, presumably pondering the meaning behind Ji Zhaoming's words.
Does he seem to have made a mistake?
