A black robot about 1.6 meters tall walked out of a magic array, holding a toothbrush the size of a toilet brush and constantly brushing its sharp teeth.
"Performers rely on their looks, while sharks rely on their teeth. I am B-Robo No. 9, Sharkler. Hello, everyone."
Name: Sharkler
Alias: Shark Monster
Introduction: From the world of "B-Robo Kabutack," created by Dr. Kouenji, B-Robo No. 9. He is the B-Robo with the longest super transformation time and the strongest destructive power.
Due to learning about the dark side of humanity, Dr. Kouenji marked an X-shaped scar on his face and sealed him away.
Later, Cabda used the power of Peace Stars to eliminate Sharkler's scars, befriended him, and ultimately cooperated with all the B-Robo to defeat the Peace Star Guardians who wanted to destroy the Earth, protecting the planet.
Artoria and Rui Mengmeng temporarily paused their training and came over to observe their new companion, while Tom sneakily hid.
Adrian glanced at Sharkler's head, indeed not seeing the X-shaped scar. The reformed Sharkler should be easy to get along with, right?
"Hello, Sharkler. I am... Tom, stop messing around!"
Adrian was a step late; Tom had already bitten down on Sharkler's shark fin.
"Ouch!" Sharkler hadn't expected to be attacked suddenly, and the fin behind him swung to shake off the assailant.
In fact, he didn't even need to shake Tom off; Sharkler was a robot, and the tail behind him was made of very hard metal. Tom's teeth were now all over the floor, and he covered his mouth, looking pitiful.
Adrian quickly grabbed Tom. "I'm sorry, he mistook you for a fish. Sorry, sorry. How's your fin?"
Sharkler tried to swing his tail forward, then saw the neat tooth marks on his fin. "This kind of injury will repair quickly. What breed of cat is this? So powerful! But what about its teeth?"
"He's fine, that's what matters. Tom is... huh? Tom, what breed are you?" Adrian suddenly realized he didn't know either.
Tom covered his mouth, shaking his head. A cat was a cat, no specific breed.
"Alright, anyway, Tom is a remarkable cat. As for his teeth..." Adrian collected the broken teeth from the floor and stuffed them into Tom's mouth. "Is this okay?"
Tom blinked, moved his mouth, then opened it, revealing two rows of neat little white teeth.
Excited, Sharkler held Tom's paws with his short hands. "Truly a remarkable cat! Please teach me how to take care of teeth!"
Sharkler's hands, located on his body where shark pectoral fins would be, had an extra thumb, somewhat resembling winter gloves. His four fingers were fused together.
He valued protecting his teeth most, so he was envious of Tom's ability to regenerate teeth.
Adrian wanted to tell him that this ability was beyond his reach, but now wasn't the right time. He should get to know Sharkler better first. "Let's go inside and talk."
Everyone sat around a small round table. It's worth mentioning that before his transformation, Sharkler had no knee joints in his two legs. He walked in small, choppy steps. Adrian couldn't figure out how he managed to sit down; it must not be very comfortable.
"I'm Adrian, currently the owner of this tavern."
"I'm Artoria, currently the tavern's guard and swordsmanship teacher."
"I'm Rui Mengmeng, tavern server, currently learning cooking and swordsmanship from Professor Tom, and also studying swordsmanship."
After introducing themselves, Tom jumped onto the table, tapped his chest, and looked at Adrian to introduce him.
"This is Tom, my pet. He's now our private chef and occasionally a pianist. He has many skills; you'll get to know him better over time."
"Alright, I'll remember that." Sharkler said, "My name is Sharkler. Before coming here, I was planning to invite Tiana on a date, then I received a program."
"A program?" Adrian was surprised. Tom said it was a contract, Artoria said it was a covenant, but now, with the robot, it turned into a program. It seemed reasonable enough?
Sharkler raised his hand, saying, "That's right. Installing this program allowed me to travel to a different world. My goal is to gain enough experience and become a strong and excellent man here, then go back and pursue Tentoleena."
Tentoleena was B-Series Robot No. 10, the only feminine robot among the ten B-Series Robots. Sharkler had a favorable impression of her.
But Adrian remembered that Sharkler should be the strongest among the B-Series Robots. He could easily catch up to an electric tram possessed by Peace Stars even without transforming, and even stop it with one hand.
Although he frequently lost to Kabutack, sometimes because Kabutack had too many accessories, more often it was due to bad luck. He always encountered unexpected mishaps when he was about to win, commonly referred to as losing due to the protagonist's halo.
And he was also an executive at a certain company, the most successful among all the robots in his career. He frequently received gifts and love letters from girls, and he was more mature mentally compared to other robots. Wasn't this impressive enough?
Thinking like this, Adrian asked, "Aren't you already strong?"
Sharkler denied, "Not strong enough. During the battle with the Peace Star Guardians, although we won, it was too dangerous and lucky. It was all because I'm not strong enough! The times I lost to Cabda were the same. True strength should be the ability to win through overwhelming force. How can I lose to mere luck?"
"Uh... alright." Compared to Sharkler, who was full of fighting spirit, Adrian felt like he was just a salted fish before transmigrating. After transmigrating, it got slightly better; he had goals and pursuits, worked hard to train and earn money every day.
"So, what's your plan?"
Sharkler said, "As a B-Series Robot, if I want to become stronger, I need to undergo training and battles, or mechanical modifications. However, I'm quite satisfied with the body that Dr. Koenji gave me and won't consider modification lightly."
B-Series Robots could become stronger through training. For example, Kabutack was originally dominated by Sharkler, but after special training, he could defeat Sharkler. Although it had an element of the protagonist's plot armor, it did demonstrate that they could become stronger through training.
"As for becoming excellent, I think my appearance is already perfect. So, I should gain more experiences and knowledge to make myself more charming." Sharkler was very satisfied with his appearance. That was also why he was so concerned about Dr. Kouenji carving the scar on his face.
Adrian suddenly realized that robots knew better than he did how to make themselves more appealing to others.
"Anyway, let's start by familiarizing yourself with this world. I'll exchange work for food and lodging. Please take care of me from now on!"
I actually think Sharkler looks cooler with the scar...
