Wu Pifu said to A1, “Light up a few more campfires. Have everyone gather close to the fire, and don’t stand in the shadows around it. Also… no, forget it, just do it quickly.”
A1 looked baffled, and sure enough, Wu Pifu saw his confusion level rising again.
Not just A1—everyone nearby who heard his orders, whether they were members of the Wakaba Unit or the Resistance, all showed expressions of bewilderment.
Because… how could lighting campfires and staying out of shadows possibly have anything to do with the central processor?
It was like a modern person wandering into a primitive tribe, and because their phone ran out of battery, searching for a charger and power source.
Then the tribe’s powerful shaman confidently tells you that you first need to perform a three-day ritual, then barehandedly catch a lion, and finally jump off a cliff a hundred meters high—that’s the only way to recharge your phone…
Trying to explain it felt like a case of a chicken talking to a duck—no words did justice.
Still, despite not understanding, the androids obeyed.
Even though they couldn’t grasp the reasoning, if it came from Wu Pifu—a “human”—they would obey without question, executing the command with resolve.
