Chapter 74: C005 – Enraged Orc Lord

[Yasaka Ruri's Residence]

While waiting for the installation to complete, Ruri decided to do some maintenance.

Ruri used her T-Bracelet to type a series of command lines, ordering all the cleaning robots in her house to gather in the garage as she walked there. The robots immediately suspend their task and faithfully obeyed her command. When Ruri arrived at the garage, there were already 15 cleaning robots with various shapes standing there waiting for her next order.

Those 15 robots were personally made by Ruri herself, following some blueprints obtained from the Kyoto Academy's Archives by spending some of her Academic points.

Then she crafted their parts with Hecate's Blacksmith skill using material item obtained from the game, Blue Steel Alloy, which was considered an ordinary grade material but was still stronger than real world steel.

Meanwhile for their processor units, she used the latest model of robotic-board, Raspberry - IXA 4.08 that she purchased online from Mercury website. This board model was specifically developed for people who want to build their own robots or drones and could be purchased at an affordable price.

The costs of making these robots were surprisingly low with each only costs less than ¥10000.

As the robots saw Ruri's appearance in their camera's sight, they greeted her with their machinery voice.

"Good morning, Master. Have a nice day." ×15

"Uh, yeah... Morning."

Ruri flatly replied their greetings.

Anyway, they were just a soulless lump of machines without any personality module installed. Even their greetings were just a simple set of pre-programmed command that follows a specific routines. In her view, answering their greetings is just a waste of time.

Of course, there was always the option of installing a personality module chip to each of the robots. Although the price of the chip is quite expensive on the Mercury website, it was still affordable to buy.

The robots that has the module chip installed will act more lifelike, self-thinking, can interact and even carry out conversation. Usually it was installed into human-shaped androids, mostly in conjunction with the installation of artificial sexual organ(s). It was a very popular product especially for singles who want the touch of a companion.

But even so, Ruri never considered to do that.

'Dealing with Robotic Laws is very troublesome. Besides, I can't really trust robots with independent thinking.'

If she wants to have a self-thinking robot, she has to fulfill some procedures and obligations listed in the Robotic Laws. These laws are primarily in place to ensure parties involved to not cause any harm to others, and limit the number of self-thinking robots that they can own according to various circumstances. 

This was because there are already a lot of cases where self-thinking robots and androids went berserk and cause trouble to the society due to mismanagement.

There have been reported cases of property loss and destruction, injury, and even death!

And since Ruri was still considered a minor, she needed permission from her guardian, in this case her parents, to complete the procedure. Moreover, with the same reason, the number of self-thinking robots she could own was limited to only one.

It was truly not worth the effort.

Ruri took her eyes off from the robots and walked over to a nearby table.

She took two rings from the drawer and placed them on her fingers. The moment Ruri put on the rings, she immediately felt power coursing through her small body.
