Chapter 140: The robots are here.

Leaving the cat with Muyang, she went to the staging area to prepare for the next segment of the day, the very last concert and the official launching of phoenix TV. Everything was already prepared, the only reason she was backstage was because the next performance was going to be a mixture of humans and dancing robots.

She only left the robots unattended during secret rehearsal with the girl group Lovelace but as soon as rehearsal ended, the robots went with her. She was not willing to have them stolen or reprogrammed because they had a self-destruct button. Any changes to their software which was not authorized by T4 would result into automatic explosion. She had spent a lot of money acquiring them; she would not be careless with their handling until she got her money’s worth out of them.

Suddenly, T4 alerted her to a commotion which was going on in the VVIP area, apparently one of Fang Chi’s fans had made it to the VVIP area and was currently involved in a fight with Su Xiaoxiao. They were pulling hair and scratching like wild cats.

Fang Chi the problem causer had managed to slither away in the midst of the scuffle before being noticed and his manager was quickly whisking him away from the camp. Before night fell, he would be back in the capital and claiming he had no knowledge about the fight or anything to do with Su Xiaoxiao.

"Host, is this our fault?" T4 asked.

"Well, we are the mighty little peep star so I will go with a yes." She replied.

She had to instruct security to take the girl away from the VVIP area and escort her off the camp grounds with her property because it had been indicated in the rules of the event that all campers should not cross into areas they were not assigned to. If someone did it deliberately, they would be evicted immediately.

Su Xiaoxiao had fainted and she had to be carried to the medical tent.

Chi Lian called Rize and told her to announce the next performance immediately before the fight took the attention of everyone completely.

On the dark stage, wearing a long green gown, Princess Rize calmed down the excited campers and announced that the next performance by up and coming girl group Lovelace.

The six girls, dressed in black and white suits with white ankle boots stepped onto the dark stage and the sound of a loud heart beat started beating through the speakers.

"I will risk it all, give my heart to you."

"Leave it all, run away with you."

"So why won’t you love me baby, your heart is nothing but steel."

"Oh, oh are you a robot baby."

The lights came on and the girls were surrounded by six robots dancing the same moves as they were doing.

"Are those real robots?" someone asked.

"No way, they are probably people in robot suits." Someone answered.

It wasn’t until the robots started moving unnaturally that people begun to suspect they were not human at all.

"Ha-ha-ha, this is unbelievable, these are real robots!!!!!" someone screamed.

"Is this even legal?" A young man asked.

"Mummy, the robot invasion has started, I am excited." A young man screamed loudly and jumped up and down.

Away from the young crowd, at the table where the old master Jun and his friends were sitting, the grand emperor’s eyes were shining with interest. He was looking at the dancing robots and holding his breath in disbelief.

"Old Jun, your granddaughter-in-law is really something." He said with amusement in his voice.

"Indeed, she surprised me as well." He looked at his wife and the Chi couple. "Did you know about the robots?"

All parties shook their heads to indicate that they did not know.

"She really hid the secret so tightly." Her father said in wonder. But his heart was unsettled, if his Chi-Chi had robots, wouldn’t all sorts of empires and shadowy organizations try to get their hands on her for the technology.

"Wife." He called mama Chi in a worried voice.

Squeezing his hand, Mama Chi said, "I know." Her eyes were just as misty and worried as his. All she could hope for was that Chi-Chi had a plan for the aftermath that was to come.

Minister Su in the crowd was already analyzing the robots with his team. "What do you think?" he asked randomly.

"This is a waste of resources, she is misusing the robots. They should be studied and used for national security not dancing around on a stage for amusement. I need to talk some sense into her. With this technology, we will win the annual military parade of empires." A military research scientist said.

"They are her property Mujin, you need to calm down. I will talk to her after the event and trade something for a few of them." The Minister assured the scientist Mujin.

Mujin was a genius when it came to weapons research but he had no personal touch. To most people, he came off as arrogant, brash and pushy. If he approached Chi Lian with his attitude, she would not do business with the military again.

In apprehensive silence, they greedily watched the robots perform all sorts of acrobatics on stage for entertainment.

"I can’t stand watching this." Mujin kicked the ground and entered a tent angrily.

The robot dance caught fire online and fairy Moxi was pushed down the trending topics pretty quickly. The girl group Lovelace quickly gained fans from just that one performance. It was official, Phoenix Ent was on fire and there was no stopping it anymore. From now on, wannabe stars would be lining up to get a foot in their door.

Backstage, Muyang was with Chi Lian and Mei-Mei watching the show from a screen. Muyang was feeding Mei-Mei some yoghurt from a small cup with a spoon.

"You have done it again." He said to her. "Shocked the world once more."

She smiled secretively, "That was the goal."

"But you should be careful, the fire, snow, and barrier were one thing but the dancing robots, that’s something else, its technology worth killing over."

She bumped her shoulder into his slightly. "They are just toys; there is nothing dangerous about them. They are not programmed to carry weapons, or hurt people." She explained. "All they are good for is optics perhaps."

"Aah." Mei-Mei opened her mouth. Her parents were deep in conversation and had forgotten all about her. She did not like it.

"Well, the queen demands for all of your attention."

"And my attention she will have." Muyang laughed and gently fed Mei-Mei some more yoghurt.
