"It's not that I'm really short of money, it's just that sometimes money is more useful than power, but there's no need to exploit my friends like this."
Bai Zhi's philosophy regarding credits has always been to accumulate as many as possible. After all, many services in this universe require money. While the power of an envoy can forcibly subdue some people, there's no need for that.
"It's wonderful that Dr. Möbius has a friend like Miss Baizhi, who is so generous and kind."
Misaka Mikoto said with some envy, "If this were in my world, even if the managers of such a large organization were really willing to give money, they probably wouldn't be this generous, and there would be all sorts of dark experiments."
"Hey, that's exactly what I figured out, otherwise why would I be here?"
Mebius said smugly that she had spent a lot of time online recently, observing the situation at those research institutions outside, as well as the scientists she had recruited, who were originally from the Erudite Society. This all proved one thing.
That is, in the Bo Shi Society and most other institutions, strict KPIs are set rigidly.
Chapter 620 The Arrival of the Fireflies
"Doctor, you're just spending my money without a care in the world."
Bai Zhi shook her head silently, but she didn't blame him at all, because she believed that with Möbius's abilities, the investments she made would eventually yield excess returns.
"Hey, speaking of which, what about the bodies of the heroes later on? Are you ready?"
"Oh, that? Not yet. I'll wait for some new equipment to arrive before we talk about it. If possible, I might analyze Ruan Mei's data to improve the genes of the Yingjies."
"I will not revive the remaining people, especially Kevin, until I have finished designing and organizing them."
"understood."
Bai Zhi nodded slightly, "Just call me when you're ready."
As they were talking, a shuttle ship landed in the nearby docking area, and then the group filed out.
It was the same group of people who had driven the driver before.
However, unlike the train crew who walked straight over upon seeing Bai Zhi, and Huang Quan Topa, Sunday, and Robin, Liu Ying stood still and looked around, seemingly searching for something.
Seeing Liu Ying's movements, Bai Zhi guessed in an instant who she was looking for.
Most likely, they are looking for the Grammer Knight they once played, who called himself "Dragon".
Scratching her head in slight distress, Bai Zhi had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk over.
"Gentlemen, and everyone in the train crew, welcome to the Dimensional Nexus, this planet that belongs to me."
Bai Zhi opened her arms to welcome him.
"Birds sing and flowers bloom, a beautiful sight indeed, truly a tourist paradise."
Dan Heng looked around and then gave a very sincere compliment.
"Hmm, it's a good place, and I didn't expect you, Little Angelica, to cause so much trouble here."
Old Yang sighed. He had thought that Bai Zhi had only come here to cause trouble on this planet with no commercial future, and that she might even lose a lot of credits.
But I never expected that they would be able to cause so much trouble in this Pinocone incident.
You could even say it's a copy of Pinocchio.
"Hehe, Uncle Yang, don't treat me like a little kid~"
Old Yang smiled and said, "It might have been possible before, but not anymore. The saying 'Heroes emerge from among the young' is indeed true. Sometimes I'm really curious about who you were before your transformation."
"I don't know either. Besides, the past life is the past life, and this life is this life. Just like Brother Danheng is now the nameless Danheng, not the Dragon Lord Danfeng."
Upon hearing this, Dan Heng looked at Bai Zhi and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, Walter, today is a day of celebration, let's not ask these pointless questions."
Himeko said something elegantly.
"That's true. As people get older, they tend to find it harder to accept things that are beyond the norm."
Old Yang said something to himself with a self-deprecating tone.
"Hey, that's not necessarily true. Uncle Yang is still a long way from being old. At least, if a giant mecha appeared now, Uncle Yang would definitely be very excited."
Upon hearing this, Old Yang burst into laughter.
"Oh, don't worry about the big robot. I think robots are pretty ordinary anyway. I've dismantled so many of those corporate mechs. The important thing is that Xiao Baizhi is going to throw a celebration party today. We're sure to eat our fill!"
When food is mentioned, March 7th's eyes light up.
"It will definitely satisfy Sister March 7th and everyone else."
As she spoke, Bai Zhi looked at Huang Quan and then extended her hand, "Mei, nice to meet you~"
Huang Quan smiled and then took Bai Zhi's hand. "Mei, the guardian of the River of Forgetfulness, please guide me."
"And there's Liu Ying. It's our first time meeting, you can call me Bai Zhi..."
Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, just as she was about to speak, but Huang Quan spoke first, with a smile in his eyes, "She is also the Grammer Iron Cavalry you saw who calls herself 'Dragon'."
Liu Ying, who was initially a little uneasy, was stunned and looked at Bai Zhi in astonishment.
“That’s right, I am ‘Dragon’, Miss Firefly.”
"But how did you end up looking like the Grammer Knights?"
"Firefly asked subconsciously."
In her imagination, the "dragon" should be either a tall, white-haired man or a spirited, white-haired girl.
"Dreams are always so wonderful, aren't they? Although I am not a real Grammer Knight, I did inadvertently glimpse the life of a Grammer Knight while crossing the Ocean of Memories."
"These warriors who were loyal to the Grammer Empire are undoubtedly worthy of respect, while the Grammer Republic, which deceived them, is also worthy of contempt."
"After absorbing the memories of these warriors, I appeared in Pinocchio in that form simply because I felt that the images of these warriors should be remembered, not forgotten in history."
Bai Zhi said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, the gaze of the firefly in Sam's cockpit softened immediately.
She felt that although Bai Zhi was not what she had imagined, Bai Zhi, who had accepted the fragments of Grammer's Iron Cavalry's memories, was, in a way, a comrade-in-arms.
Not to mention that Bai Zhi also held such a view of the Grammer Cavalry.
It's important to understand that in many places, people perceive the Grammer Cavalry as purely biological weapons, with no regard for human rights whatsoever.
Few would say that these warriors who charge into the endless swarms of insects to protect people's lives are worthy of respect.
Moreover, Bai Zhi is also the Wisdom Dragon Lord.
"Because I received the memories of the Iron Cavalry, I deliberately guided you here when I saw you."
"Because I believe that as the last survivor of the Iron Cavalry, you should be a glorious warrior protecting the people and deserve to enjoy a better life, instead of running around trying to prolong your own life."
"So, I've decided to find someone to make a movie about the Grammer Cavalry to vindicate these respectable warriors. And you, Firefly, would you like to stay and participate in this movie, and perhaps cure your entropy disorder as well?"
Bai Zhi extended her hand and said very sincerely.
Liu Ying paused for a moment, then controlled Sam to place his hand on Bai Zhi's other hand.
Then, another hand was placed on Bai Zhi's hand.
Bai Zhi turned her head to the side and saw it was Xing.
"I want to make a movie too, let's call it Galaxy Baseball Man, is that okay?"
Xing said with a grin.
……
Bai Zhi fell silent instantly after being struck by Xing's astonishing wisdom.
"It's not impossible."
As Sam's hand touched Bai Zhi's, a flash of flame appeared, and the originally gleaming silver armored hand was replaced by the girl's soft palm.
Chapter 621 Fireflies: I Can No Longer Live Without Angelica
Liu Ying reverted to her original form, but unlike her appearance in the Pinocchio dream, the Liu Ying standing in front of Bai Zhi had faintly glowing, crack-like patterns on her cheeks.
Bai Zhi knew that this should be the external manifestation of entropy loss syndrome. People suffering from this disease will experience irreversible chronic dissociation of their physical structure.
This means that the patient is slowly disappearing, and this "disappearance" is so subtle that it is difficult for others to even notice.
The patient can still run, jump, and communicate with others; everything seems normal, except that he is always a little slower than others, and then he gets slower and slower until the outline of himself and the whole world becomes blurred.
Bai Zhi grasped Liu Ying's hand, and the horse talisman activated its effect immediately, the life-giving power instantly rushing into Liu Ying's body.
At that moment, the girl felt her mind go completely blank.
It was a feeling that was hard to describe. In the past, she would have felt that the real world was slowly breaking down and even becoming bizarre and surreal.
Now, it's as if a ray of redemption has appeared, piecing the shattered world back together.
Her body, exposed to the outside world, should have been enduring unbearable pain, but she felt as if she were immersed in a warm spring.
This made her subconsciously think of some of the books she had read. Although she didn't know what it felt like to be in her mother's arms, she felt that maybe this was the feeling she was experiencing now.
"Hmm, that should be about right."
Seeing the cracks on Liuying's face fade, Baizhi withdrew her hand and asked, "Liuying, how are you feeling now?"
"what?"
Liu Ying was a few beats slower than usual, looking at Bai Zhi with some confusion. It took her several seconds to react, and her face instantly turned bright red.
"Huh, why is your face so red? Could it be that it's not healed yet? That shouldn't be the case."
Bai Zhi was puzzled by Liu Ying's sudden blush, so she simply took Liu Ying's hand and injected the power of the horse talisman into it again.
Liu Ying felt her mind go blank again. The feeling was so wonderful. Perhaps it was the genetic defect that made her yearn to repair herself from the bottom of her heart. This feeling of moving towards perfection made her subconsciously crave that warmth even after the disease had been cured.
"How do you feel now?"
Bai Zhi stopped transmitting the power of the horse talisman and asked Liu Ying with concern.
"Don't stop... Ah, it's alright, thank you, Dragon."
Upon sensing the power vanish and hearing Bai Zhi's question, Liu Ying instinctively wanted to say, "Don't stop."
But she quickly realized what was going on and changed her words.
At the same time, a sense of loss lingered in Liuying's mind. That special healing energy was so comfortable; if possible, she wanted more.
"Hi, just call me Bai Zhi. I'm glad you're alright. Look, you're not the only Star Core Hunter here; Silver Wolf is here too. You can go talk to her."
Bai Zhi pointed to the silver wolf playing games in a corner not far away.
Although she really wanted to have a detailed chat with Liuying, there were so many people waiting for her to greet them, and it was obviously inappropriate to leave the others hanging.
Following Bai Zhi's instructions, Liu Ying's eyes lit up when she saw the silver wolf. The silver wolf seemed to be quite familiar with Bai Zhi.
If that's the case, could we find Silver Wolf and ask him how we can get more treatments like this?
She felt that she could no longer live without this feeling.
"Tsk, what a bunch of useless teammates, do they even know how to play? What kind of item build is this??"
Hiding in the corner, Silver Wolf stared at the exploding base on her phone with a look of gritted teeth, but then she felt a shadow loom over her.
She looked up and paused for a moment.
"Firefly? Your entropy disorder was cured by that guy Bai Zhi?"
Seeing that Firefly was standing here in her true form, Silver Wolf asked with a hint of certainty.
"Um……"
Firefly nodded gently. "Silver Wolf, can I ask you something?"
Silver Wolf gave Firefly a strange look. "Why are you being so indecisive? I remember you were usually quite decisive in battle. Are you trying to play the lady?"
Liu Ying felt her fist harden. How could she talk like this? What did she mean by pretending to be a lady? Did everyone else think she was some kind of violent maniac?
However, after glancing at Bai Zhi and Xing, who were greeting other people behind them, Liu Ying maintained her smile and asked, "Silver Wolf, do you know what Bai Zhi likes?"
"What's wrong? Did you fall in love at first sight?"
Liu Ying clenched her fists and took out her transformation device.
"Hey, just kidding, really, how come you have no sense of humor at all?"
Seeing the firefly's action, Silver Wolf immediately raised her hands in a French military salute. She was a technical expert; how could she possibly fight a lump of iron head-on?
