Chapter 93: Being pounced upon by the maid again
Chapter 93: Being pounced upon by the maid again
Obviously, the group owner called "Xixing" used a function similar to private chat to communicate with Li Yu.
Or rather, it was a well-intentioned notification.
After he finished speaking, he disappeared again without waiting for Li Yu's reply.
The next moment, the stars disappeared as well.
"Okay, the new member has joined the group, and everyone has met him. We'll start next time. If you need anything, you can use the Monster Star authority to call me."
The line of text appears and disappears.
One by one, the strange stars also began to return to the ocean of strange stars above.
This gathering of stars ended with the laughter of Shang Yang by the geniuses of the entertainment industry.
Without a target, Li Yu naturally no longer needed to use the eighth bubble of truth.
Of course, after reading the group leader's two sentences, most of the worries that he had already had in his heart disappeared.
It is indeed as the drama star said, Li Yu is just an ant and a speck of dust to the gods and will not be noticed at all.
In addition, he also knew vaguely that even if he really used the eighth bubble of truth to spy, there would be no results, because "everything" in the Demon Star Order was encrypted.
Li Yu guessed: When the [Door of Truth] in his soul was close to perfection, the surging power might be able to break the double encryption of the Demon Star Order and the Samsara Skynet. However, by that time, he might be about to ascend to godhood.
"The Bubble of Truth is my greatest reliance, so it would be best if it were not wasted."
"There is no need to worry about the future. It is right to strengthen your strength as soon as possible. Shang Yang said that he is already a Sequence 7. The difficulty of my next expedition to the Weird Territory will also increase dramatically. Before that, I must first be promoted to [Alchemist]."
After these thoughts came to an end, Li Yu's attention returned to the present.
After each expedition, Yaoxingling will give one hour to rest and explore.
Now, there aren't many left.
After he exchanged the alchemist's secret medicine formula, the promotion ceremony, and the five pill recipes, he still had 6,700 merit points left.
Because the "Ancient People's Pill" might not be convenient to refine and use, Li Yu immediately had another idea and paid a hundred merit points to exchange for the bloody battle pill recipe.
Although he was more interested in the rare elixir recipes of Ruxin, Hua Niang, and Yiren.
But with the lessons learned from the past, it’s better not to waste it.
If there is an unexpected need later, it will not be too late to call upon the demon star to exchange it.
"With these, I can try to advance to the rank of [Alchemist]. How should I spend the remaining merits?"
"Weapons? They are not needed in the Dantu sequence. As for the alchemists, we will see after we are promoted."
"Magic power? This is also something to consider after promotion. Even if I exchange for something useful now, I don't have time to practice, and it may delay my promotion."
"I never thought that one day I would think about how to spend my merit points. Although I am not as good as the geniuses in the group, I should have opened up a big gap with the ordinary Monster Star Lords."
"Ok?"
Suddenly, Li Yu thought of something.
The thought immediately came to my mind again, and I called out:
"Demon Star, show the Tiangong Sect's rare item [Blank Secret Core]."
"If it's below 100 points, it will be deducted directly."
"Deducted!"
That’s right, Li Yu thought of his own mechanical maid.
He had thought about this before in reality. Once he had enough merit points, he would try to exchange them for a blank secret core to see if he could restore more functional modules of Hongdou, especially its memory.
If Hongdou was really just an ordinary Linglong doll with all its modules removed, leaving only an empty shell, Li Yu would definitely be reluctant to use his merits.
But Li Yu already knew!
Red beans are definitely not simple.
That inexplicable high authority, only a little bit of the remaining but still fierce fighting style, and the gradually restored and evolved high intelligence... All signs are proving that Hongdou's Linglong puppet has very powerful potential that has not yet been realized.
Repairing her can also help Li Yu quickly increase his strength.
"The most important thing is that there must be a secret here."
"I spied on Hongdou before. Although it was only the second bubble of truth, the power was very low, so I only spied on some secret cores remaining in her body, but I didn't know her true origins and what secrets she was hiding..."
"Now I still have the eighth Bubble of Truth to use. With the power at this moment, perhaps I can learn more from Hongdou... But it would be a pity to use it up like this. The Bubble of Truth can save lives at critical moments. Let me charge a few more before considering wasting it."
"Now, let's exchange a blank secret core for her first."
As soon as he finished his thought, a page of strange objects appeared before his eyes.
Above, there are all blank secret cores.
Starting from the lowest level, mid-range, high-end, there are also some special secret cores, such as the Zhonghong secret core, the Baigong secret core, the Dazhi secret core, etc.
Looking at the notes below, the following items obviously involve some secrets of the [Tiangong Sect]. No wonder Li Yu had to pay 100 merit points.
Li Yu took a look at the merits required for the exchange and gave up directly, and turned to look at the low, medium and high levels.
"The lowest level blank secret core requires three thousand merit points."
"Mid-range secret core, requires nine thousand merit points."
"High-end secret core, requires 30,000 merit points."
"Why is it so expensive?"
After seeing the price, Li Yu frowned immediately.
Although the price was calculated in "merit points", he had some expectations in his mind, but this price was completely beyond his expectations.
There is no doubt that it is even more outrageous than the actual price.
"The rare item that the Lord needs is a specialty of the Orthodox God sect [Tiangong Sect]. At the same time, the Samsara Skynet is also produced by the true god of this sect."
"Due to the hatred between the two camps, the Tiangong Sect has launched a sanctions blockade against us."
"The prices of all related items, especially core items like the Blank Secret Core, will be doubled, and we do not rule out the possibility of further price increases in the future." "Is this okay?"
After hearing the answer, Li Yu's mind was full of question marks.
He had heard words like sanctions and blockades, but he never thought they would be used here.
Helplessly, he seemed to have no other choice.
Even though he knew that a normal blank secret core would never cost so much in the real world.
But unfortunately, he was not a member of the Tiangong Sect, nor was he even in the three major countries. Instead, he was in Wanfu City, which was also blocked and surrounded by forbidden areas, and many materials needed to be smuggled. No matter how much money or how many rare items he had, he could not exchange them for a blank secret core.
"Exchange for a lowest-grade secret core!"
"Deducted!"
During the conversation, Li Yu saw with his own eyes that the balance of his merit points jumped from 6,600 to 3,600.
At the same time, an hour has arrived.
……
South District, Butcher's House.
Li Yu fell out of the mysterious vortex holding something in his hand.
Once again, she fell into Hongdou's hard and cold arms.
Before he could even look into the fox girl's face, which was still full of inquiry and doubt, Li Yu muttered directly:
"No, I'll start selecting the [Bionic Skin] for Hongdou later. This feels too hard."
"Red Bean deserves better skin, and so do I."
After Li Yu said these shameless words.
This time, Hongdou didn't ask him if he wanted to start buying skins.
When he looked up, he saw Hongdou tilting her head, staring at something in his hand.
Is that a... human brain?
It was composed of some kind of pale substance, and the grooves, blood vessels, etc. on it were exactly the same as brain matter. Li Yu had seen many human brains taken out in his memory, so he was extremely sure.
But compared to real human brains, this thing is much weirder.
When Li Yu watched, he felt coldness, wisdom, vitality and other auras at the same time.
"Is this the blank secret core?"
He just muttered.
The gemstone between Hongdou's eyebrows emitted a red light and scanned over, and a mechanical sound followed:
"A rare object [Blank Secret Core] has been detected, which is the lowest level."
"This substance can serve as nutrients, prompting the red beans to repair themselves."
"Every time a low-grade blank secret core is devoured, Red Bean's related modules will have a chance to recover part of it, with the wisdom module, memory module, and combat module being prioritized..."
"how to use?"
Li Yu asked directly without waiting for Hongdou to finish his evaluation.
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar sound occurred.
All he could hear was the steam with a strange fragrance gushing out with a hissing sound, and a clicking sound came from the back of his head.
The next moment, a scene that even Li Yu found somewhat horrifying occurred:
I saw a "small ball of flesh and blood" with extremely strong spirituality drilling out from the back of the Red Bean robot's head, with tentacles extending out, and with a few clicks, it actually bounced directly into Li Yu's palm.
There were a few more hissing sounds, and all the tentacles pierced into the blank secret core.
The substance that looks metallic feels like tofu when touched.
The scarlet spread, and the blank secret core shrank wildly and disappeared.
Correspondingly, the small ball of flesh and blood suddenly grew in size by at least one third, and it exuded a lot more spirituality and wisdom.
It even rubbed and rolled around in Li Yu's palm, as if it was a "pet" expressing affection to its owner.
After that, it made a few clicks and slid back to the back of the head.
A moment later, Hongdou opened her eyes again.
This time, the wisdom revealed in her fox eyes surprised Li Yu.
Before this, although Hongdou also showed the extraordinary intelligence of an advanced robot, he instinctively regarded her as a mechanical puppet.
But he didn't know if it was an illusion, Li Yu seemed to see a human cub.
A kind of ignorant wisdom!
Before Li Yu could figure it out, the ruby between Hongdou's eyebrows once again emitted a dazzling red light, locking onto and enveloping Li Yu.
The scene that happened long ago is happening again:
"Some nutrients have been replenished, and the secret core has begun to repair itself...some modules are restarting their functions."
"Found a new owner... Insufficient steps to identify the owner... Serious lack of authority."
"Restart to recognize the master... Start to collect fingerprints, irises, body fluids and Qi..."
"what?"
Li Yu had never expected that after repairing Hongdou, he would have to recognize its master again?
However, when he was once again knocked down and pressed on the bed by Hongdou, he quickly discovered that this time the master recognition procedure seemed to have one more step than before.
How to collect Qi?
As soon as this doubt arose in Li Yu's heart, the next moment, he had an incredible feeling that was completely different from the past.
This time, Hongdou did not transform into a delicate mechanical fox with a red mole on its eyebrows. Instead, she began to "disintegrate" in the gushing red mist. At the same time, the limbs that fell off her body turned into soft mechas that covered Li Yu.
From the outside, it seems that this person and the mechanical maid are merging into one, which is beautiful but also very weird.
