What Can I Do, I’m Not Human

Translator’s Note-Heyy guys!!

I wanted to take a moment to apologize for my recent absence over the past month. The start of the new semester at university has brought about several responsibilities that I needed to prioritize in order to get my life back on track. Despite these challenges, please know that I am fully committed to making a comeback and providing updates. I sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience during this time, and I will do my utmost to ensure regular updates going forward.

Thank you for your continued support.I just trabslated the chapter.

Su Zheyan was exceptionally patient today, and his voice carried an imperceptible gentleness when talking to him.

His ears were still very red, indicating that he was still recovering from the direct question earlier and hadn’t fully processed it yet.

They had completely different opinions on the issue of memory loss. Chu Shici gave examples and arguments but couldn’t convince him.

Su Zheyan was not fond of speaking and remained silent watching him, occasionally shaking his head in disagreement.

Finally, in a flat tone, he said, “I choose to be a clone.”

It wasn’t until the noise gradually grew louder on the street that Su Zheyan shifted his gaze away from Chu Shici.

He picked up the robot and put it in his pocket. “The mist has dispersed. We’re too close to the Eternal Life Technology branch here. Let’s head to the next town.”

As Su Zheyan walked out, he pulled out a map to check.

On the paper was a route map on the interior wall of a capsule, and Su Zheyan copied it down.

Each endpoint of the routes on the map was a city, and along the way were points indicating the distribution of various powers. Su Zheyan gently stroked the paper, his gaze falling on the last line that was completely severed.

Where did that route lead?

Just as he had this doubt, he heard the curious voice of the robot. “Should we go and take a look there?”

Su Zheyan pondered for a moment and replied coldly, “The situation is unknown and too dangerous.”

Having spent these days with him, Chu Shici had somewhat figured out his temperament.

If there was room for discussion on a matter, Su Zheyan would choose to remain silent and give himself time to think. If it was brought up again in a few days, he would likely express his own opinion.

If he decisively refused, it meant the matter was off the table. He would contemplate it privately and, once he figured it out, quietly follow Chu Shici’s instructions. If he couldn’t figure it out, no amount of persuasion would work.

This phenomenon only appeared after his vitality increased.

At first, his vitality was only in single digits, and Su Zheyan was completely numb. He was indifferent to the outside world, only caring about survival and defending his dignity, without considering anything else.

Looking at the stubborn Su Zheyan, Chu Shici felt gratified.

He was willing to spend time arguing with him, showing his own opinions. It indicated that he was starting to pay attention to his spiritual world and self-awareness, which was a good thing.

A commotion came from the first floor of the inn. Su Zheyan packed up the map and walked to the stairwell with a machete1 in hand.

There were more than a dozen people standing below, with one person holding the innkeeper’s head and interrogating the surrounding alpha criminals, “Whoever dared to chop off my brother’s head, show yourself!”

The crowd looked at each other, fear evident on their faces.

Chu Shici leaned over to observe and silently asked Su Zheyan, “Who are they? Have you seen them before?”

Su Zheyan silently took two steps back, finding cover to hide his figure.

From the corner of his eye, he saw the robot talking to him, its rectangular mouth opening and closing.

Sometimes it turned into a line, sometimes into a square. It transformed between several shapes, and as Su Zheyan observed, his gaze became increasingly perplexed.

When the robot’s mouth finally stopped moving, he shook his head silently, indicating that he didn’t understand anything.

Chu Shici understood that the male lead didn’t know who they were either.

Su Zheyan retreated all the way to the corridor window, preparing to jump out.

He gently pried open the window, and suddenly the voices of the men downstairs grew louder, “Wasn’t it you guys? Who else came to the inn last night!”

A trembling voice replied, “It seemed like… there was another man. I didn’t see him clearly, just caught a glimpse. He was fair-skinned and had a handsome face.”

Chu Shici was taken aback. Earlier, he heard the alphas commenting on Su Zheyan’s appearance, saying he had a good-looking dead person’s face.

He looked up and their gazes coincided. Those blue eyes carried a glimmer of light, like an exquisitely crafted puppet gradually coming to life.

Su Zheyan didn’t understand why the robot was looking at him, but there were already sounds of people coming up the stairs. It wasn’t advisable to stay here for long.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a series of urgent and forceful footsteps behind him.

The muscular man who was downstairs earlier charged towards him like a raging bull. As he saw Su Zheyan’s appearance, desire filled his eyes.

He roared loudly, shouting “beta,” as he reached out to grab him.

Su Zheyan dodged the man’s attack with a slight movement.

He clicked his tongue and then, patience exhausted, he rushed forward with the knife.

…

He still remembered the first time he saw Su Zheyan fighting with someone, Chu Shici would still worry about him.Afraid that he wouldn’t be able to win, afraid that he would be caught by alphas and humiliated.

Now Chu Shici no longer worries about these things.

Outside, the fight was in full swing, and he chatted with the system in his pocket. If Su Zheyan didn’t let him stick his head out, he wouldn’t go out and cause trouble.

By listening to the heartbeat, he could tell that Su Zheyan was in good condition and completely capable of handling the situation.

During the waiting process, Chu Shici analyzed with the system every day, trying to find a way to steadily increase the Vitality points.

At first, Chu Shici could still summarize the reasons for the increase. Su Zheyan was very lonely and needed companionship but couldn’t interact with people, and Chu Shici happened to not be human.

Some things, when done by humans, would seem foolish and pretentious. But no matter how much a small toy the size of a palm is fiddled with, it will always appear cute.

If the same words were spoken by a person, Su Zheyan couldn’t help but ponder if there were other implications in them. Stealing a glance at a diary, for example, if it were any other human, Su Zheyan would chop that person into dumpling filling and throw them out to feed the shadows.

But he wouldn’t be angry with Chu Shici, after all, what bad intentions could a little robot have?

At first, Chu Shici had the advantage of timing, location, and people, appearing when Su Zheyan desperately needed companionship.

At that time, every increase in vitality points was due to the beautiful memories created by Su Zheyan and the robot. What seemed ordinary to outsiders was the warmth he urgently needed.

But now it was different. The male lead was no longer in a daze, and companionship was no longer a lifeline for him. He didn’t need to draw vitality from the robot to fuel his life, and the pattern of vitality point growth became increasingly unpredictable.

Su Zheyan was in a fight, and his vitality points suddenly increased by three, jumping to a total of 67.

Chu Shici looked bewildered and asked, “System, what do you think?”

【I’m just as confused.】

Chu Shici peeked outside, and the situation had already turned around. Just moments ago, a group of alphas surrounded Su Zheyan led by their leader. They attacked him while insulting him and loudly discussing how they would play with him. They even said that if they played him to the point of exhaustion, they would take him to the night market to earn money for them.

Now, some were dead, some were injured, and the alpha who was over two and a half meters tall knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing.

Su Zheyan silently watched him, a mocking smile still on his lips.

Chu Shici thought he would act as usual, silently and cleanly killing the person.

But this time, Su Zheyan didn’t immediately make a move. He pointed the blade of his knife at the man’s face and said, “What do you want to do to me? Where are you going to send me after you’re done playing? Idiot.”

The man trembled and didn’t say a word. When he looked at Su Zheyan, he saw a monster. The dozen or so people on their side were completely defenseless against the beating. The beta in front of them was definitely from a military background and frequently went to the front lines.

Su Zheyan pulled the man up and threw him out of the window. The criminals outside immediately gathered around, not caring who was thrown down, treating it as a free punching bag.

The remaining alphas who were still alive begged for mercy, but Su Zheyan remained indifferent. However, Chu Shici heard the notification sound indicating an increase in vitality points.

Seeing the vitality points rise unsteadily to 68, Chu Shici understood.

The once down-and-out protagonist of the wish-fulfillment novel finally understood the joy of slapping others in the face. This was a great thing.

It seemed that persuading Su Zheyan to dominate the Desolate Star could be put on the agenda again.

In fact, Chu Shici felt that these criminals were not qualified to accompany the male lead. They were a bunch of scum who would have been executed long ago in the past.

But according to the original plot, the male lead unified the Desolate Star, and the criminals reformed themselves under his leadership and returned to the empire. Su Zheyan also turned back into the revered general, reclaiming his glory and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

Chu Shici hesitated for a while and decided to propose again, “Yan Ge, let’s dominate the Desolate Star together, okay?”

“No, stop messing around.”

“You can use this as a springboard to return to the empire, aren’t you always wanting to go back?”

Su Zheyan remained silent for a long time. “I don’t know where you got these novel plots from, but I don’t want to consider them my brothers. I’d rather embrace the arms of death than associate with beasts.”

He patted Chu Shici’s head. “Alright, Xiaobai, don’t mention this matter again in the future.”

Chu Shici:…

He understood the reasoning, but who was Xiaobai?
