Chapter 178 Cardboard Box
Since Pantalone took charge of the finances of Solstice, he rarely left Solstice.
I wanted to go back to celebrate the Lantern Festival this time, but it was only because I missed my hometown after seeing my fellow villager Liu Bai. Maybe...
"Of course it's no problem, Brother Fu, this is it..."
"One hundred million Mora, is that enough for you?"
Pantarone put his hands on the table and chuckled, interrupting what Liu Bai wanted to say.
"Don't worry, Brother Fu. I promise to send you to Liyue on time."
Liu Bai made an OK gesture without hesitation.
"Well, come find me when you're leaving. I'll take care of some business in the next two days, and I'll be waiting for you anytime later."
Pantalone nodded with satisfaction, then ordered his men to fetch 100 million Mora from the vault.
Liu Bai put Mora away and kindly reminded Pantalone not to waste the precious milkshake and to drink it all.
Then Liu Baicai said goodbye to him and left Northland Bank.
While it was still early, Liu Bai turned around and went to [Ms.] Rosalin’s residence.
However, she was soon informed by the maid that Rosalin had gone out a few days ago.
Liu Bai didn't know where Rosaline had gone, so he nodded and headed to another destination, [Puppet] Sandone's residence, or rather a machinery factory.
“Woo! Woo! Woo!”
However, as soon as Liu Bai stepped into the factory, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the factory.
Afterwards, a group of specially modified relic guards came out of the factory towards Liu Bai, trying to drive Liu Bai out.
At the rear of the group of relic guards, Sandoni sat on the hand of a large robot.
“I picked these up.”
Looking at the group of ruins guards, Liu Bai raised his hand calmly.
The next moment, one chaos furnace core after another appeared in Liu Bai's hands, and then fell to the ground beside him.
Having lost its Chaos Core, the Ruins Guardian also lost power and slowly fell down.
"……ah!"
Sandone, who was sitting on the big robot's hand, also screamed and fell to the ground.
"Good afternoon, would you like a milkshake?"
Liu Bai trotted over to Sandonie who was lying on the ground, squatted in front of her, holding a milkshake and asking her questions.
Sandoni didn't answer. He raised his body with his hands on the ground and glared at him fiercely.
The reason why she hated Liu Bai from the beginning was because Liu Bai's ability had the ability to reduce the dimension of any man-made mechanism. No matter how sophisticated the structure was, it would become waste after some parts were taken away, especially the energy core.
In fact, Liu Bai cannot directly remove human organs using "I picked this up" because they are naturally grown together with the human body. After all, the skill description is an independent item.
But artificial mechanisms are different. As long as it is movable, even if it is made using 3D printing technology, it is made up of separate parts, especially the core that provides energy, which is more independent.
Looking at Sandone's ferocious expression, Liu Bai carefully pointed the straw at her mouth and put it in front of her.
"Go away."
Sandoni pulled Liu Bai's hand away, then helped the large robot next to him that had lost power to stand up.
Soon she called for a new autonomous mechanism and reinstalled the chaos furnace core that Liu Bai had dismantled for these ruins guards.
"Give that thing back to me!"
At the end of the installation, Sandoni discovered that the core of the big robot supporting him was still in Liu Bai's hand, so he had to stare at him and make demands.
"Give."
Liu Bai subconsciously handed over the milkshake.
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
Looking at the milkshake handed over by Liu Bai, Sandoni angrily grabbed Liu Bai's other hand, trying to take back the core of the big robot.
"Okay, so can you try the milkshake?"
Seeing that she was angry, Liu Bai had no choice but to return the core to her.
But as she reached out to take the core, Liu Bai stuffed the milkshake into her other hand.
"I understand. You can go now."
After taking a look at the milkshake in his hand, Sandoni showed no interest at all. He handed the core to the autonomous agency and asked them to install it on the big robot, then made a request to Liu Bai.
Sandone is not good at socializing. Her favorite thing is to stay alone in the factory to do research, so she has no habit of entertaining guests.
"Well, you must try it..."
Liu Bai nodded.
Although the milkshakes had already been given out, he still persuaded these people to drink up all the milkshakes out of his instinct not to waste food.
"Take it for testing."
After Liu Bai left, Sandoni handed the milkshake in his hand to the self-regulatory agency and gave instructions.
After leaving the factory in Sandoni, Liu Bai saw that it was getting late and decided to go home first.
"I don't know if the girl has come back..."
When he reached the door of his house, Liu Bai muttered to himself, pushed the door open and walked into the house.
Glancing at the bed, Liu Bai found a huge cardboard box on it.
"Hmm? Did the girl buy anything again?"
Liu Bai approached the huge cardboard box curiously.
The opening of the cardboard box was not facing upwards, but was open towards the head of the bed.
Inside the cardboard box was a soft cushion. Nashida was curled up inside and sleeping like a kitten, with her cute tail wrapped around her body and the tip of her tail swaying gently.
"..."
Liu Bai put one hand over his chest, feeling as if something had hit his heart.
Liu Bai couldn't bear to disturb her, so he just sat quietly beside the bed.
But just like a cat, the sleep in this posture is very light, and it will wake up at the slightest movement. Nashida opened her eyes with some confusion and saw Liu Bai sitting beside the bed.
"You're back. Are you hungry? I'll prepare dinner for you."
Nashida rubbed her eyes, crawled out of the cardboard box, and then asked Liu Bai.
"No, girl, you just woke up, how can I let you cook? Let me do it."
Liu Bai shook his head and wanted to take on the job of cooking.
"No! I'll do it!"
Nashida suddenly woke up completely, and hurriedly stopped Liu Bai and pushed Liu Bai back to the bed to sit down.
"Just wait here for dinner."
Nashida gave Liu Bai some instructions and then walked towards the kitchen of the rental house.
"The girl is so gentle..."
Looking at Nashida using elemental power to lock the kitchen door, Liu Bai couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, Nashida prepared a fairly sumptuous dinner.
After all, if the meal is too rich, they won’t be able to finish it…
"By the way, girl, where did you get that big box?"
At the dinner table, Liu Bai asked while eating.
"Oh, I bought a winter washing machine. This is the box that holds the washing machine."
Nacida explained.
"What about the washing machine?"
Liu Bai looked around and found that there was no washing machine in the house.
Nashida couldn't enter and leave the little white house freely. When Liu Bai was not around, she definitely couldn't have put anything in the little white house.
"I returned it after I had studied its structure. After all, we don't need a washing machine."
Nashida spread her hands and said.
"Girl, are you returning the goods?"
"No, I just returned the washing machine. I liked the box better so I kept it."
"..."
