Luo XiaoLou quietly returned to the bedroom. After hearing the words of the maids, he felt that even more disturbed. His Source of Consciousness was dwindling, and he couldn't find any solution for it. And out of the blue, a prince appeared from nowhere and wanted to compete with him.
If Yuan Lie agreed, there was no room for him to refuse. Maybe Luo XiaoLou had never cared about winning or losing, but he didn't want to lose on the eve of his and Yuan Xi's wedding, and lose with that much shame.
He'd probably only be able to make secondary parts with the loss of his Source of Consciousness. This will make him a laughing stock in the Imperial Capital, and the media would post headlines like "Prince Consort's True Strength Revealed, Ability Disappointing, Past Results Suspected Cheating" and "Prince Consort's Rule-Breaking Incident Revealed".
Under this kind of pressure, would Yuan Lie still agree to his wedding with Yuan Xi? Luo XiaoLou had no idea what to do. He didn't even know how to say to Yuan Xi, 'I've lost all my talent in mecha making. I can't help you make advanced energy boxes anymore.'
Even his goal, to help Yuan Xi make the best mecha, would probably only be a dream.
"How much of my Source of Consciousness power do I have left?" Luo XiaoLou, who was mindlessly pacing around the house. He stopped, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked 125, who had been following him at the same pace.
125 carefully observed Luo XiaoLou's face, hesitantly replied, "In fact, when you entered the house just now, it had completely disappeared."
Luo XiaoLou was stunned and laughed bitterly. What could be worse than that?
"Hey, don't be like that, it's no big deal. Look, I still want you, and Yuan Xi definitely won't abandon you because of this." 125 tried to comfort Luo XiaoLou.
Luo XiaoLou was silent for a moment and said, "125, you followed me because I could save your master. Now that I've lost the Source of Consciousness, there's no way I can save your master anymore. Are you sure you still want to follow me?"
125 jumped in shock and it stammered, "What do you mean?! Of course I'll follow you! You're my foster, you're my foster, I'll follow you." It never wanted to leave Luo XiaoLou. It was programmed with a mission – to take care of the offspring of the Mythical Beast family.
Well, as a noble exotic beast mecha, it certainly had a mind of its own, but it had never had the slightest thought of changing fosterers.
"But what about your owner?" Luo XiaoLou asked calmly.
125 stayed quiet for a moment, then said dejectedly, "I've waited for so many years. I don't care if I have to wait a few more."
"You mean my Source of Consciousness power can still be restored?" Luo XiaoLou's heart vaguely rose with joy.
125 gave Luo XiaoLou a blank look, "Of course I don't mean that. I mean I can wait for your son, or your grandson, who hasn't awakened."
"...That's really hard work." Luo XiaoLou said not too sincerely.
If Yuan Xi didn't marry him and instead replaced him with someone else... Luo XiaoLou thought of this and felt extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, Luo XiaoLou stood up. Other people, humans, none of them had Source of Consciousness, so why could they make mecha and not him?
Luo XiaoLou suddenly woke up to the fact that he seemed to have relied too much on the Source of Consciousness for the past two years. Without the Source of Consciousness, he had even denied himself completely.
