Chapter 111: CH 59.2

5-7 minutes 21.01.2022

Nina was really angry. It used its system to search for good quarrel sentences to fight against Lin Xinghe.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xinghe could counter every sentence without swearing.

After a few rounds, if Nina could cry, it would be crying now.

It ran to Haywood and said, “Is this the new guy you want to promote? There is no quality at all.”

Haywood couldn’t stand it any longer and said sternly, “Nina, you and Xinghe are both artists from the same company. Even if she is your junior, you can’t disrespect others like this. Come and apologize to Xinghe.”

Nina: “I’m right, I won’t apologize.”

Haywood: “If you don’t apologize, I will cancel all your trips tomorrow, including singing for Lord Andrew at the ceremony.”

Nina was finally scared.

It had prepared for the ceremony tomorrow night for a long time.

It didn’t want to lose this opportunity.

What a proud thing to sing at the city owner’s birthday celebration and brag about it! Everyone around it knew about it, and if it didn’t go, it would be very embarrassing.

Nina finally came over and apologized to Lin Xinghe.

It probably set a sincere tone, so the apology it said was quite sincere.

Haywood sent Nina away and then said to Lin Xinghe, “Don’t take it to heart, Nina’s set up like this.”

Lin Xinghe didn’t care about this at all, she was more concerned about something else.

She asked, “What type of show is Nina singing for Lord Andrew in?”

Haywood said, “It’s not a show. Tomorrow is the birthday celebration of the city lord. Lord Andrew has never liked extravagance, nor does he like to celebrate, and he had always been very low-key. But after all, it is the birthday of the ‘Lord of the City.’ This year, many gifts and programs have also been prepared, one of which is Nina singing ‘The Great Machine City’ to Andrew.”

Lin Xinghe asked, “Where is the birthday celebration of the Lord of the City?”

Haywood said, “In the castle.”

Lin Xinghe’s heart moved slightly and asked, “Can I go see this for experience?”

Haywood was a little embarrassed and said, “This may be a little difficult. The castle is heavily guarded, and civilians have to apply for a month in advance to enter, and then do an entrance check for a pass. On the day of the birthday celebration, you can only enter the castle with the pass.”

After hearing what he said, Lin Xinghe knew that there was a way. As long as the advantages given were attractive enough, Haywood would find a way for her.

Lin Xinghe heard the words and said with a smile: “Have you heard of this phrase? ‘Hide in plain sight.’ You bring me into the castle, and I will try to get the city lord to notice me. A recently debuted robot who received the favor of the Lord of the City can quickly make a name for itself.”

Haywood said, “The city lord doesn’t like entertainers.”

Lin Xinghe replied, “I don’t plan to use my acting skills to entrance the lord. I can do whatever I want. I will play a good robot so that the City Lord won’t find out.”

Despite the short time together, Haywood was very convinced of Lin Xinghe’s ability.

He thought about it and agreed.

“I’ll find a way to help you get a pass,” Haywood said again, as if thinking of something, “You better be careful, I’ve heard the news, there will be people from Mermaid City at tomorrow’s birthday celebration. And their city lord. You don’t want to interfere with the political affairs of the two cities, so you must stay away.”

Lin Xinghe asked, “Will the city lord of Mermaid City also celebrate Andrew’s birthday?”

Haywood said, “No, that’s why I think Mermaid City appears to be well-intentioned. These things are beyond your control. Remember to stay away from politics.”

After Haywood left, Lin Xinghe walked out of her mechanical body.

She seemed to be thinking.

After a while, she suddenly said out loud, “The other two cities have no restrictions on magic and immortality. Robots are malicious to humans. The city owner of the city of mermaids must be Xie Wuan. Xie Wuan has entered the City of Machines.”

She didn’t murmur, as if she knew where the livestream camera was, her brows and eyes twitched with laughter, and the light above her head shone down, making her skin as white as cream. Her eyes lit up, and she was in high spirits.

“I have a bold idea,” she said.

Anyone who is familiar with Lin Xinghe’s exam style knew that she wanted to do something exciting, something grand— a true shit-stirrer!

There was a lot of discussion.

【Oh? What does SL want to do? 】

【The leader wants to engage with Xie Wuan? 】

【I’m looking forward to it! Anyway, Xie Wuan was going to make SL into a figurine, the SL doesn’t need to be gentle. Now that they are in the city of machines, the difference in strength between the two is not that big, and Xie Wuan will be killed! 】

【Do it! Go go, SL! Do stuff!】

【SL has really caught up with Xie Wuan, especially in terms of popularity!】

【Weakly asked, which do* are you referring to? 】

【Doing something? Or doing someone?  】

【…Anyway, it’s all doing, Xie Wuan has very extraordinary looks, so SL should do him along with the things in her plan. 】

TL Notes:

*Much like the English “do,” the Chinese counterpart works in the context “to do something” and “to ‘do’ someone” ¬‿¬
