A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 105 What does rebirth mean?

Madam Zhou looked puzzled, but in the end she focused her attention on Chen Moran. "Moran, it's alright if they're full. You should eat more."

Chen Moran, who had just put down his chopsticks, suddenly shuddered. "Auntie, I'm full too."

Mrs. Zhou looked regretful, but in the end she didn't force him to continue eating.

Chen Moran stood up and bowed to Madam Zhou. "Aunt, if it's convenient, I'd like to go to your study to look at other books."

Although he couldn't find the books Zhou Hanzhang mentioned, because of Zhou's father, their study had just as many books as a bookstore, and he actually found several that interested him.

Madam Zhou waved her hand and said, "Go if you want to see it. If you can't see everything, you can come another day."

Madam Zhou originally wanted him to take the books back to read, but she wondered if such an outstanding young man would have any chance with her daughter.

Let's ask him to come more often.

That Xiao Ba from earlier was alright, but since he mentioned being the boss, could he be a servant?

However, his manner of speaking doesn't seem quite right. I'll find out more later.

Although my daughter is now dressed as a boy, it doesn't prevent her from meeting outstanding men at all, which is great.

Mrs. Zhou was very happy today.

Meanwhile, Zhou Hanzhang pulled Xiao Ba outside and asked, "Didn't you say you didn't need to eat? You're a robot, won't eating this much burn out your CPU?"

Zhou Hanzhang was very worried. He had finally met a fellow villager who knew how to make robots, so he had to hold on tight.

Robots like Xiao Ba are extremely rare, not only here, but even in modern times, you couldn't develop many of them. What if this meal made one of these robots sick? When my fellow villager comes back, he might just kill me.

Xiao Ba smiled at Zhou Hanzhang, "Don't worry, although I can survive without eating, I also have a digestive system that can convert the food I eat into energy to power my body."

Hearing this, even Zhou Hanzhang had to admit, "That's incredibly awesome!"

Xiao Ba happily said, "Anything made by the boss is bound to be of the highest quality."

"Besides you, has your boss made any other robots?"

"No, do you think robots are so easy to make? The boss spent countless hours trying to make me look like this, and the materials weren't easy to find. It took her many years to gather the materials and make me like this. Do you think you can just buy it wholesale?"

Zhou Hanzhang touched his nose. "I'm just curious, who exactly is your boss? He's so amazing."

“Speaking of which, I have a lot to say.” Xiao Ba began to ramble on about his boss.

It turns out that Xiao Ba's boss lived in an era that was more advanced than Zhou Hanzhang's. Zhou Hanzhang traveled from 2024, while his boss traveled directly from 5034.

His boss worked in a national institution at the time, specializing in time travel and the survival of souls.

However, during an experiment, his boss accidentally blew up the equipment, which ended up here, along with the robot Xiaoba.

No wonder they have such technology.

It turns out that Hachi was a robot created in the technological environment of 5024.

Zhou Hanzhang clicked her tongue. She thought she could make a robot here, but it turned out she was overthinking it.

But she's really looking forward to it now.

I really want to meet the boss that Xiao Ba mentioned.

She has never met a person from the future who lived 3000 years in the future.

However, I wonder if her and Xiao Ba's arrival in this world will have any impact?

Xiao Ba seemed to know what she was thinking. "You don't need to worry. My boss has no interest in destroying the earth. My boss is a very retro person. She rarely comes to ancient times and comes into contact with these primitive things. She is very happy and can't wait to stay here."

As for asking me to find someone, it's simply because she's been here for a while and I wanted to find some people like her so she wouldn't be so lonely.

Zhou Hanzhang suddenly realized something and his eyes widened. "You just said that you and your boss were transported to this era because your experiment exploded. So, your bodies were directly transported to this era?"

"Yeah, I can't transmigrate either. I'm just a robot, I don't have a soul."

"So, can your current time machine send me back to my original world?"

"No way, didn't I tell you? It all exploded. Besides, your situation is so special. My boss wanted to study it before, but she hadn't even figured out what was going on when it exploded here."

Xiao Ba continued, "Originally, she hoped to find someone from a similar era to her, but it seems she's going to be disappointed."

Zhou Hanzhang was puzzled. He had clearly not told Xiao Ba which year he came from, so how did he know?

How do you know which year I'm from?

"Oh, every soul is marked with its birth date, and I can see it."

Zhou Hanzhang immediately gave a thumbs up, "Awesome."

"So when exactly is your boss coming back?"

"I don't know. My boss goes on trips for years at a time. She comes back whenever she wants."

What an irrefutable answer.

"Then I can only wait." Zhou Hanzhang said helplessly.

"Actually, that's not necessarily true."

"What do you mean?"

"You can go to my boss."

Zhou Hanzhang: ...

“I have a home here, how can I just leave to go find your boss? Even if I wanted to go, do you think my mother would agree?”

Xiao Ba recalled Madam Zhou from earlier, "That's true. Madam Zhou looks warm and gentle, but she doesn't seem like someone I can trust to let you go out."

"You certainly know a lot."

"Naturally, as a qualified robot, recognizing human relationships and learning to read people's expressions are my most basic skills."

"Congratulations, you have successfully won over me and my beautiful mother."

"No problem, no problem."

Zhou Hanzhang: ...

"Your character has been verified. You can meet once my boss returns."

"So I also have an interview."

Xiao Ba nodded seriously, "You can say that if you want. Although my boss and I came here by accident, we have rules, which is that we cannot destroy anything here. If you are not a good person and your destructive power is too great, my boss said that we can kill you directly."

……

So you came back with me mainly to test my character and family background?

Zhou Hanzhang understood.

Fortunately, I behaved reasonably well. If I had been even slightly antisocial, I would be dead by now.

Zhou Hanzhang thought of a question, "Can you only check souls from other worlds? If someone here is reborn, can you detect it?"

"What does 'rebirth' mean?" Xiao Ba clearly couldn't understand.

"It means the same soul living twice in the same body."
