“That’s right, I am a member of the Grammer Iron Cavalry, codename—Dragon.”
To Bai Zhi's surprise, the sound she made was actually the mechanical voice of the armor.
Firefly's eyes shone brightly, "You have your own name now?"
"Ah, I am also a member of the Grammer Knights, you have nothing to fear."
Seemingly realizing that her question was abrupt, Liuying quickly offered an explanation.
Seeing this, Bai Zhi could only nod silently.
The firefly seemed even happier; its former companion now had its own name.
You see, in the past, these people only had code names. She still remembered her own code name—AR-26710.
Having your own name means that you also have your own life and goals. You are no longer like before, endlessly wandering around under orders to fight insects, eventually exhausting your life and dying.
How rare that is!
But then, Firefly seemed to realize something.
"Then your entropy disorder..."
Bai Zhi was really scratching her head at this moment. How many lies would it take to cover up this one lie?
But seeing Liu Ying's increasingly concerned expression, Bai Zhi could only pretend to be indifferent and say, "I have already been healed."
"What??"
Liu Ying covered her mouth slightly and took a few steps back in disbelief.
She had been searching for a cure for a long time, and this was one of the main reasons she joined the Star Core Hunters.
Only within a peculiar organization like the Star Core Hunters could she have a greater chance of contacting people who could cure entropy loss.
However, during her mission, she met many people, and for some, this entropy disorder was not incurable.
But she remains the same as she is now.
Because... she had no money.
It may sound ridiculous, but that's the reality she faces.
As a biological weapon developed by the Republic of Grammer, the Grammer Iron Cavalry has some strict limitations set in its genes.
This was to ensure that these combat weapons would not threaten the interior of the Republic of Grammer after the war.
This genetic limitation makes it significantly more difficult than things like demonic possession or curses.
However, the Grammer Republic was once such a powerful interstellar empire, and the restrictions that their researchers worked day and night to develop are not something that can be easily broken.
Only a large corporation or similar financial group has the resources to overcome these restrictions and give her a normal life.
The problem lies here: she doesn't have the resources. Even if her bounty is 97 billion, surrendering herself to get the money would be a drop in the ocean given the genetic limitations developed by the powerful interstellar empire.
But the companion in front of him actually said that his entropy disorder had been cured, which was simply unbelievable.
Could it be that some large capital group has made a move?
"How was it cured?"
Liu Ying quickly asked.
……
Bai Zhi paused for a moment before saying, "Do you know Bai Zhi? She's the Divine Dragon Lord from the Luofu Immortal Ship. She's the one who cured my entropy disorder."
“Shen Du Long Zun Bai Zhi…” Upon hearing this, Liu Ying pondered for a moment before suddenly remembering that this was the person Kafka had mentioned being very interested in last time.
She remembered that at that time, Bai Zhi had temporarily suppressed the demonic body of the blade.
At that time, she also fantasized that since Bai Zhi could suppress even the demonic Yin body, it might also be effective for her entropy disorder.
However, she was always busy and needed to go on missions everywhere, so she never had the opportunity to verify this matter.
However, today, my colleagues came here and confirmed the truth of the matter.
"Thank you for telling me this important news, Dragon."
"It's firefly," Liu Ying said softly.
"But... what price did you pay?"
Liu Ying hesitated for a moment, then asked.
In her view, entropy deficiency, a genetic disease that requires enormous capital to develop a cure for, must require many, many conditions to be met before it can be cured.
Just like how I'm constantly doing various tasks in the sea of stars, hoping to accumulate some capital to cure my illness and then be able to walk on the earth in my original body.
"cost?"
Bai Zhi had never really thought about this. After all, in her opinion, this so-called entropy disorder was nothing compared to the Demonic Yin Body.
Does this kind of "chicken disease" really require patients to pay a huge price to get rid of?
However, Bai Zhi's pause made Liu Ying mistakenly believe that the price was extremely high, and that her companion was unable to express it for the time being.
Chapter 529 Firefly: I'm Going to Kidnap a Robin for Medical Fee
Is it something that's hard to say? Or is it...?
Suddenly, Firefly remembered many things. Could it be that her companion had been used as a tool in the war?
Although the ordinary Grammer cavalry are not particularly strong, they cannot compare to her re-evolved ones.
However, as a creation of the Grammer Empire, it is definitely considered to be in the upper-middle tier in the entire universe.
Putting aside everything else, he'd be more than qualified to be an assassin.
"No, there's no price to pay. Bai Zhi is a kind and compassionate doctor who is very willing to treat me."
Seeing the changing expressions on Liu Ying's face, Bai Zhi knew that the girl in front of her was thinking about something bad, so she quickly said something.
"real??"
Liu Ying was surprised to receive Bai Zhi's answer.
For such a troublesome illness, Bai Zhi didn't ask for any price. She's practically the most kind person in the world.
If it were a company, they'd probably squeeze every last drop of profit out of you.
"Yes, that's right. So if you want to cure your entropy disorder, you can go find her."
Bai Zhi reached out and touched Liu Ying's head.
"However, she has a hobby."
Bai Zhi changed the subject and said again.
"What is your hobby? If I can solve it, I will try my best to solve it!" Liu Ying asked quickly upon hearing this.
Although she has always believed in resolving issues with her fists, in this situation, fists are definitely not going to work.
When I was doing Star Core Hunter missions before, I noticed that people liked to ask others what they liked when they asked for help, and would prepare some appropriate gifts.
However, those people generally prefer credit points.
But... what if Bai Zhi also likes credit points...?
Thinking about her somewhat embarrassing credit points account, Liu Ying looked at Bai Zhi with some nervousness, hoping that the information Bai Zhi provided wouldn't cost too much.
"That is, I like cute girls~"
"Eh?"
Liu Ying paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
A moment later, Firefly said something that almost made Bai Zhi spit it out: "I like cute girls... how about I go and kidnap that robin?"
"No, why did you think of using this method?"
Bai Zhi was surprised; Liu Ying's thought process seemed to be different from what she had expected.
Isn't it obvious that they would think of themselves first? How could they possibly think of kidnapping a robin?
While robins are indeed beautiful, this logic doesn't make sense.
Kidnapping a robin to his own territory—I'm afraid Zhou Tian will be about to perform "In the beginning what is done" on the spot. The fighting power of a seasoned sister-complex is terrifying.
"Hmm? Is something wrong? A lovely young lady? In Pinocchio, the only one who can be described as such is Miss Robin."
Liu Ying tilted her head. "Are you worried that I won't be able to kidnap anyone? Don't worry about that, I'm quite capable in combat."
As she spoke, she bent her arm, making a gesture that demonstrated strength.
Baby, you're so adorable, don't you realize it?
Bai Zhi kept shouting in her heart.
Looking at Bai Zhi, who remained silent, Liu Ying was somewhat puzzled.
She asked cautiously, "Is there something wrong with my thinking?"
"No... in a sense, your idea isn't wrong, but have you ever thought about one thing: that you yourself are also quite adorable?"
Bai Zhi covered her helmet and said helplessly.
Robins are undeniably beautiful and kind, but they are far from cute; these are two completely different attributes.
"I?"
Liu Ying pointed to herself, her face full of surprise.
She hadn't realized this all along, because when she was out in public, she was basically always seen as Sam.
Sam's Firefly Type IV armor is indeed very cool, but it's far from cute.
As for the Star Core Hunters, well… Blade, who is mentally unstable and suicidal, wouldn’t say such a thing.
Silver Wolf is the same; we're just good friends. He'll ask her whenever he wants to host an online party or play games with multiple people.
Kaffa did praise her, but Kaffa's praise is too common; everyone does it, and no one would take it as a true description of a particular attribute.
"That's right, you're cute too. By the way, I still don't know your name."
"My name is Liu Ying."
"Fireflies, fireflies, fly to the flame..."
"Well, even though it's like fireflies flying into a flame, maybe it's a way to survive against all odds."
Liu Ying smiled, looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and reached out her hand as if to touch the light within it.
Then he exclaimed, "Freed from the Queen's orders, I have found new meaning. The endless universe awaits my exploration, not just orders to kill insects."
"Your idea is correct. This universe is not just about killing; there is much more waiting for you."
"I hope I can succeed," Liu Ying sighed.
"Don't worry, you can do it. Go find Bai Zhi. She's such a lovely girl, she definitely won't hesitate to help you."
Bai Zhi encouraged him.
"Long, are you really not exaggerating? I actually think I look very ordinary."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi say that she was cute again, Liu Ying touched her face with some insecurity.
"I am not a universally adored pop star like Miss Robin, nor am I a universally renowned beauty."
"All I do is fight, endless fighting. Someone like me must seem very crude to someone like Dragon Lord, who is steeped in countless refined cultures."
"How can someone as rude as me be associated with cuteness?"
As Firefly spoke, she became increasingly worried. If a superstar like Robin were to suffer from the same ailment as her, countless fans across the universe would probably donate money to help with her treatment.
But she couldn't do that; only bounty hunters who coveted her bounty could.
"Cuteness isn't just about looks; it's more about personality. There's a limit to how good your face can be; inner qualities are what really matter."
"Inner strength brings extraordinary qualities. Firefly, you are pure, which is a different feeling from that of the robin."
Pure good looks are nothing. If we're talking about looks alone, those high-end lifelike dolls in the universe are all at the pinnacle of beauty. Their faces and bodies have been optimized by AI and countless masters. 99% of people can't compare to the pure good looks of those things.
But that's about it; those kinds of things are just cheap commodities, not worth mentioning.
Liu Ying's eyes lit up slightly. "Is that so... Thank you, Long. I will go no matter what."
