Chapter 954: 297. “Teammate” pranking

Late that night, Noland Lee returned to Island 33 and did not rush to the fifth-floor bedroom to rest.

He emerged from the miniature ocean, flew up the vertical channel on the ceiling, and finally stopped at Underground Layer 2.

At that point in time, Nolin, as an Array Spirit Tool that didn’t need rest or sleep, was still working hard.

She did not feel tired.

She had never experienced physical fatigue or mental weariness.

According to her description, synthetic humans within the Metal Creation Group always operated in “007” work mode.

Around the clock, 24 hours a day, non-stop work was the norm for synthetic humans.

Negative phenomena like parts wear and tear, logic errors, data redundancy, and so on, could all be solved through maintenance and care.

These synthetic humans used as tools only had one thing to do before they were completely scrapped, and that was work, work, and more work.

Since their Emotion Modules were artificially shut down, all synthetic humans tirelessly working at their posts would not have a trace of complaint.

If they never possessed emotions or leisure time, synthetic humans would never know what comfort and entertainment were.

Noland Lee provided Nolin with a stable environment, equal treatment, and a relaxed work system, and even regularly rewarded her with Soul Energy and gold coins.

All of these, in Nolin’s view, were precious, and she must cherish them doubly.

Even her predecessor, “Alien Starship Captain · Loymin,” the main synthetic personality control, had never enjoyed such treatment.

Within the Metal Creation Group, a synthetic human’s “status” and “treatment” were unrelated.

The type of the main control personality and the functions of the mechanical body of a synthetic human determined its “status” and dictated what “position” it would take up.

As for the treatment of synthetic humans, it was uniformly in accordance with the regulations of the Metal Creation Group, viewed as “toolmen” with no salary, vacation, or benefits.

So, despite “Loymin” being a captain, in reality, she was just a “tool” slaving away for the Metal Creation Group.

And now, look… Nolin took a glance around and saw the nimble Mechanos and the elegantly renovated workshop.

Above her head, about twenty to thirty meters high, there was also a bedroom belonging to her.

The nearby clear sea surface and the peaceful forest were also entirely open to her.

Nolin increasingly felt that she had transcended the level of “tool” to become a genuine human being.

She felt grateful to Noland Lee for this… that’s what she was thinking.

She temporarily put down her work and looked toward Noland Lee, who had sat down in a nearby chair, and pushed up her glasses, saying:

“Sir? It’s nearing midnight now, don’t you plan to rest?”

Noland Lee waved his hand:

“Oh, Nolin, continue with your work. I just need to sit here and think about some things.”
