A Time-Traveling Mishap: I Became an Ancient Nobleman

Chapter 103 Bibi is a robot

He then nodded in agreement and took Chen Moran away first.

After confirming that Chen Moran had left, Zhou Hanzhang returned to the corner that the shop owner had set up.

The shop owner gestured to Zhou Hanzhang, who picked up the flower tea, took a sip, and then slowly sat down.

"May I ask your name, shop owner?"

The shop owner smiled.

The shop owner originally looked like an extremely ordinary person, easily lost in a crowd if you weren't paying attention. But now, when he smiled, his eyes were filled with a scattering of light, and his face seemed different. He came alive, captivating everyone's gaze.

"My name is BB-8."

"Bibi, eh?"

Zhou Hanzhang looked puzzled. What kind of name is that?

But she remained polite and courteous, "Mr. Bi, I find your bookstore design extremely interesting. May I ask where you got the inspiration for it?"

“You can just call me Xiao Ba,” Bi Bi’e said.

"Although I own this bookstore, I didn't design it; my boss did."

"Your boss?"

So, this Xiao Ba isn't the owner of this bookstore?

"Who is your boss? Is he in the capital? Would it be convenient for me to visit him?" Zhou Hanzhang asked tentatively.

Xiao Ba shook his head. "I don't know where my boss is now. She asked me to open a bookstore here, and after opening, she went on a trip."

Zhou Hanzhang felt a little regretful, but also somewhat unwilling, "Do you know where your boss got his inspiration for designing this bookstore?"

Zhou Hanzhang had no recollection of this bookstore, indicating that it had only recently opened. However, the fact that it had achieved such a level of success suggests that Xiao Ba's owner was no ordinary person.

It's highly likely that they're from the same place.

The shop owner's name is also quite peculiar.

Bibi eh.

Bibi, eh?

BB-8?

I go!

What the hell!

Zhou Hanzhang got excited and, disregarding all propriety and shame, grabbed Xiao Ba's hand. "Your name is BB-8?"

No wonder he calls him Xiao Ba.

Xiao Ba was a little confused. She had been so serious and calm just a moment ago, so why did she suddenly become so excited?

"I already told you, my name is BB-8."

"No, do you have paper and pen?"

Although Xiao Ba was confused, he still took out paper and pen for her.

After taking the paper and pen, Zhou Hanzhang wrote directly on it: BB-8.

"But these words?"

When Xiao Ba saw BB-8 on the paper, he smiled happily, "You're the first one to write my name correctly. They all call me Young Master Bi, and I'm fed up with it."

"..."

Zhou Hanzhang looked constipated.

"With your name, who could pronounce it correctly?" Zhou Hanzhang was speechless.

"Looks like your boss is a Star Wars fan."

Xiao Ba got even more excited when she heard this and immediately grabbed Zhou Hanzhang's hand, "Wow, you really know? Star Wars is my boss's absolute favorite movie."

Alright, we're definitely from the same hometown.

They can even talk about movies.

"I don't remember this bookstore being here before, but it only recently opened?"

Xiao Ba nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes."

Looking at it this way, this little 8 does indeed have the characteristics of BB-8, no wonder his boss gave it that name.

"Do you... know that BB-8 is a robot?"

"I know, me too."

Zhou Hanzhang: !!

She even wondered if she was hallucinating. "What did you say?"

"I said I'm a robot too."

Zhou Hanzhang: ...

"No, you're just telling me this so bluntly? Aren't you afraid I'll report you to the authorities and have you arrested?"

Xiao Ba shook his head. "You won't."

How do you know I can't?

Do you know why I agreed to talk to you?

Zhou Hanzhang: ? ? ?

My brain capacity is insufficient.

Xiao Ba continued, "I have a skill that allows me to sense souls from other worlds."

Zhou Hanzhang: !!

That's awesome!

Zhou Hanzhang was completely shocked, "You, you, you..."

"My boss told me to open this bookstore here because I sensed the presence of otherworldly souls in the capital. He said that if the otherworldly souls saw this bookstore, they would know that they had found a fellow countryman."

"No, you have this ability?"

"Yes, my boss designed me to find people from the same hometown."

"But why did your boss leave without finding anyone from his hometown?"

"Oh, that's because I sensed another soul from another world in another place. The boss loves to wander around, so she went to find another one while she was having fun. As for me, she left me here to wait for you."

Zhou Hanzhang really didn't know what to say. "So how many otherworldly souls have you encountered so far?"

"Not many. My abilities aren't always reliable, and sometimes my intuition is wrong. But you're the first person we've met besides my boss."

"So your boss opened this bookstore just to reunite with me?" Zhou Hanzhang couldn't believe it.

Xiao Ba shook his head and uttered cold words.

"You're overthinking it. My boss opened this bookstore mainly to make money. Over the years, she has collected a lot of out-of-print books while traveling around. She thought that there are many rich people in Beijing, and that reprinting and selling these out-of-print books in bulk would make her a fortune."

Zhou Hanzhang is almost losing his ability to speak.

"Besides building robots, what else can your boss do?"

Xiao Ba tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I wonder if eating counts? I don't need to eat, but she needs to eat a lot."

"Don't all people need to eat?"

"She eats a lot, saying she needs to replenish her energy. She can develop many skills after eating."

"Goldfinger?"

Zhou Hanzhang wondered what this "eating can develop skills" thing was, and why he didn't have any.

Indeed, people are different from one another.

She suddenly became somewhat depressed.

Xiao Ba looked at Zhou Hanzhang and continued, "She said if I run into you, I'll leave you my contact information and she'll contact you when she gets back."

Did she say when she would be back?

"I don't know, but I'll just wait for her here."

"alright."

“If you need my help, you can come to me anytime. My boss said that if someone from our hometown is in trouble, we should do our best to help them,” Xiao Ba said earnestly.

What skills do you have?

"I can discover souls from other worlds, guard bookstores, and memorize every single book in the bookstore."

"What's the use of this?"

"I can also absorb the boss's skills. I don't need to recharge. I just need to bask in the moonlight."

That sounds pretty impressive.

Xiao Ba continued, "I can also fight, I'm very good at fighting."

"???"

"If war breaks out, I can lead you and the boss to break through the encirclement."

Zhou Hanzhang chuckled, "Now the world is at peace."

"I can help with fights too."

"I don't fight."

"The boss is away right now, could you take me in?"
