Chapter 312
Chapter 312: Chapter 19 King of the Rhein_3 Chapter 312: Chapter 19 King of the Rhein_3 Excellent vehicle skills and intuition apply even to flying motorboats!
Lin Xian twisted the handlebar and flew toward the falling VV—
Clang!
He dove precisely and caught the falling VV, wedging it into the space in front of the motorboat’s legs.
“You should have said that earlier.”
Lin Xian couldn’t help but feel both amused and annoyed.
So this trash can robot did indeed respond to the cry of “VV” after all!
Click!
A familiar cold sensation at his ankle.
Without looking down, Lin Xian knew that the contraption must have clamped down on his ankle again with metal pincers.
Swish swish swish—
Several thin, red laser beams shot toward him.
Lin Xian couldn’t figure out what kind of weapon it was, but having been on guard, he had already veered off the main road and into the jungle of skyscrapers, dodging the lasers.
“Please enter the password!”

In his peripheral vision, the trash can robot, pinned by his legs, stared directly at him with a soul-searching gaze.“First, let’s find a place to hide!”
Lin Xian shouted, his body leaning as he took several turns.
Through the rearview mirror…
he saw an increasing number of unidentifiable mechanical objects joining the chase.
Not just in the sky.
On the ground, mechanical police dogs appeared, and in the low air, fully-armed robots.
Had he triggered some more serious alert?
Unfortunately, VV was just a door-opening robot; it could unlock any door, car lock, or electronic lock but had no combat capabilities.
However, Lin Xian already had a target in mind.
First, he would rush into Zhao Yingjun’s private exhibition hall!
The museum was in a no-fly zone.
Surely these bat-shaped laser drones couldn’t enter, right?
He had a door-opening robot and could directly ride the flying motorboat inside; as long as he closed the exhibition hall’s main door in time, he could block the pursuing swarm behind him.
“Please enter the password!” The eerie green eyes continued to stare at Lin Xian.
“No time now!”
Lin Xian’s mind was nearly exploding; he had to figure out how to steer the flying motorboat to evade the lasers and plan a route toward the museum area.
There was no bandwidth to deal with the trash can robot.
Swish!
Swish!
Swish!
More and more intelligent robots joined the chase, their speed far surpassing that of Lin Xian’s flying motorboat.
If it weren’t for Lin Xian’s exquisite driving skills, he would have been caught by them long ago.
Just ahead was the museum’s annex; Lin Xian glanced backward…
Oh dear.
Had he broken some heavenly law?
In the sky, countless flying robots, low-slung running police robots, mechanical police dogs, and other indecipherable mechanical devices.
Seems like Rhine Sky City’s security force was indeed formidable.
The reason nobody dared to commit crimes was probably not due to high moral standards, but rather because the consequences of breaking the law were too severe!
Wasn’t it just stealing an electric vehicle?
Was it necessary to dispatch so many regular troops?
Lin Xian had no choice but to take a gamble!
He was betting the museum’s no-fly zone… could block these hundreds, even thousands, of security robots!
However, unfortunately, things went against his wishes.
The moment his motorboat flew past the museum’s perimeter wall and into the no-fly zone, it instantly lost power and shut down!
It seemed that the no-fly zone was absolute, and even the door-opening robot couldn’t save it.
But fortunately, the gliding inertia was enough for Lin Xian to reach the front of Zhao Yingjun’s private exhibition hall; he could already see the steel electronic door of the museum’s highest exhibition room.
Whirr whirr whirr!
The sounds behind him were like dumplings being dropped into boiling water; swarms of bat-like flying robots also lost power and fell into the museum courtyard.
But they were still flashing an ominous red light!
Skimming low over the ground, they sped towards Lin Xian.
The roaring mechanical police dogs jumped over the perimeter wall and charged in, and all sorts of security robots also clambered over the wall.
Lin Xian realized…
By entering the no-fly zone, his crime seemed to escalate, inadvertently activating countless security robots.
Now, in the courtyard of the museum below, all sorts of robots flashing red lights stood in formation.
Easily a thousand of them!
Like locusts swarming!
Like zombies in an outbreak!
Pursuing relentlessly behind the gradually gliding and falling motorboat!
At that moment.
As the flying motorboat’s inertia ran out, it finally reached the electronic door of Zhao Yingjun’s private exhibition hall.
Thump!
Lin Xian held the trash can robot and jumped straight out of the car, rolling to a stop in front of the steel electronic door.
“VV!
Open the door!”
However…
This time, the steel electronic door did not open.
Lin Xian was flabbergasted.
All the way here, all the electronic doors in Sky City had been opened by this trash can robot.
How could it be that now, the very last door, the one that should open for him the most, the electronic door to Zhao Yingjun’s personal exhibition hall, it simply wouldn’t budge?
“Please enter the password!”
The calm yet anxiety-inducing mechanical electronic voice continued to stare at Lin Xian as usual.
Down the steps…
Thousands of robots and mechanical dogs with bared fangs surged forward.
In the courtyard, the grounded flying vehicles flickered a rapidly shaking red light, targeting him as if something was about to launch!
They were ready to fire!
Hundreds of targeting laser beams hit Lin Xian in the face.
The intense red light blinded him to everything else.
The view was drenched in blood-red!
Blood-red…
As Lin Xian, nearly blinded by the light, it was as if he saw that red Ferrari LaFerrari flash before his eyes…
By the Huangpu River.
The clouds were densely packed.
Under the dim sky without moonlight.
The blood-red Ferrari LaFerrari opened its arrogant scissor doors, with the headlights on, parked next to the railing by the riverbank, lighting up the tall woman leaning against the railing.
Her earring reflected glinting light under the headlights.
“Would you…
like to be my secretary?”
She smiled, turned her head back and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear:
“Remember the password for the office door.
It’s hard to believe, but this password was set rather casually, it has no significance.”
“[Any meaningful password can eventually be guessed or cracked.
But a meaningless one like this is relatively much safer.]”
“[Don’t tell a second person, Lin Xian.
This password…
only the two of us know it.]”
!!!
Lin Xian’s eyes snapped open, directly facing hundreds of blood-red lasers!
“32375246!!”
He shouted out the eight meaningless numbers with all the strength he could muster!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Like a blossoming lotus!
Hundreds of lasers, concentrated at their firing limits, suddenly turned and exploded outwards into the sky from all directions!
The red lasers lit up the entire museum courtyard like a frenzied red hedgehog!
Yet, not one beam aimed at the door of the Zhao Yingjun exhibition hall.
Thud!
A muffled sound.
The door to the exhibition hall behind Lin Xian opened in response, slowly moving to the sides.
He looked up.
And found…
The frightening red lights on the bodies of the thousands of various robots before him had all disappeared, turning into dim green.
Then…
All the mechanical dogs lay down;
All the humanoid robots kneeled on one knee;
The low-hovering flying vehicles also obediently landed on the ground…
Everything was so quiet, deadly silent.
Lin Xian stood up, in disbelief at the scene before him.
At his feet.
𝗇𝗈𝘃𝕘𝘰.co
The always foolish, dim-witted trash can robot VV let out a laugh like that of a child.
Its tracks rotated twice backward.
Its two clamp arms supported its body on the ground, leaning forward just like the thousands of security robots in the courtyard, bowing its head to the ground, facing the man standing above at the highest point of the museum:
“Welcome home…”
“King of Rhein!”
