“That’s right, Billy, you should change your habit of talking big.”
Anbi chimed in with a comment from the side.
“Ambi, you think of me like that too? That brat was the one who did the violence.”
Billy said dejectedly.
"This is clearly a case of being tortured because one is less skilled; it's the lament of a loser."
“Ambi, your words are truly heartbreaking.”
"What are you whispering about? Hurry up and get things done. You're wasting my time, can you afford to pay for it?"
Erosion flew behind them and said impatiently.
"Okay, okay, I'll leave right away."
After saying that, Nicole led Billy, Ambly, and Erosion outside.
.........
"To be able to modify erosion like this, it's really..."
Once the group had completely disappeared from the street, Old Yang, who was sitting on the sofa, pushed up his glasses and revealed an expression of someone who looked like an old man using a cell phone on the subway.
He had never seen anything like this before, where someone was transformed into a catgirl and also happened to be a part-time CEO of a company.
When the erosion completely assimilated the armed puppet, he was so frightened that he almost threw himself out of a black hole. If Bai Zhi hadn't explained, this area would probably have been in big trouble.
Chapter 450 The Corruption of Arrogance
"Hey, Uncle Yang, at least this is making the best use of people's talents. It's better than leaving the erosion there doing nothing."
Bai Zhi shrugged with a grin.
Old Yang gave Bai Zhi a complicated look, but didn't say anything in objection.
In his view, no one is born evil; different environments shape different people.
Just like Mei, and him, they are both Herrschers, yet they still fight for humanity.
If erosion can actually do more than just harm lives, then it's not unacceptable.
"Besides, we've already purchased the supplies, and we'll be setting sail again in the next couple of days. These industries all need someone to run them, and Corruption has enough military strength and is quite smart too."
"It's a good choice to let her run these things."
"I reluctantly agree with what you said, but I just hope nothing goes wrong."
Old Yang sighed and silently looked out at the bustling street.
This place is so similar to our own home. As far as we can see, the people of this world are fortunate enough to be able to cope with and to some extent suppress disasters thanks to their technology.
Hopefully, this world won't experience a natural disaster like the Herrscher of Reason.
Meanwhile, inside a hollow, Erosion and the people of the Rabbit House had already ventured deep inside.
"Is it these worthless scoundrels who beat you stupid humans to this extent, meow?"
Looking at those skeletons, Erosion showed disdain. In her opinion, these so-called skeletons, which could also be used to erode living beings and machines with ether energy, were too low in purity.
"Doesn't this make Lord Erosion look powerful?"
Nicole coughed lightly and said.
Along the way, she has come to understand Qin's tendency to talk big, like a child, with a strong sense of self-importance.
"I have a feeling there's something hidden in what you said..."
Erosion scratched his head, somewhat annoyed.
"How could that be? We are completely convinced and are just waiting for Lord Erosion to show us his power and strength!"
Nicole suppressed a laugh and said in a serious tone.
"Hmph, you've got a nice way to talk. Today I'll show you my power, meow."
As he spoke, the erosion flew towards the skeletons.
The skeletons also noticed the erosion of this small but powerful puppet.
Immediately, these skeletons, driven by instinct, hurriedly ran in all directions.
"Tch, what a useless thing, even worse than those Honkai Beasts and zombies!"
Somewhat annoyed, Erosion took out his mini bow and arrow and shot it at the slightly larger skeleton.
"Nicole, are we really just going to watch her perform like this?"
Looking at the scattered skeletons, Billy asked.
"What else? If you want to waste bullets fighting Yi Hai, I have no objection, but you'll have to pay for the bullets you use yourself."
Nicole slung her bag over her shoulder, took out a pair of binoculars, and leaned against the wall to observe the battlefield.
"Ah, I think Boss Nicole made the right decision. We're conserving our strength tactically!"
Upon hearing Nicole's words, Billy immediately fell silent and joined Nicole in observing.
"Moreover, and more importantly, we need to see how well that armed doll performs. If it's also very powerful, we might be able to hire one from the store to help us with any difficult missions we encounter in the future."
Nicole explained to Billy while looking into the distance through her binoculars.
"Oh, I see... Wait, then I'll be eliminated?"
Billy's face showed a look of horror.
"Don't worry, Billy, your salary will definitely be lower than the cost of hiring an armed puppet, so you don't have to worry about losing your job."
Ambi patted Billy on the shoulder, offering words of comfort.
"...Ambi, are you really good at comforting people?"
Billy looked miserable.
Ambi tilted her head. "That's a very accurate guess. If they're very strong, the hiring fee definitely won't be cheap. Given Nicole's stinginess, she definitely won't be willing to hire them this time."
"In that case, Billy is still very useful and won't be eliminated."
Ambi said in a very serious tone.
"Thank you for your comforting words..."
Billy touched his chest, feeling that his energy core was hurting even more.
While Billy and Ambi were talking, the corrosive arrows had already struck a giant skeleton.
Then, just a few seconds later, the skeleton was covered in red patterns that spread all the way to its core.
"Boom boom boom!"
The corrupted skeleton picked up a nearby telephone pole and swung it across its kind in the vicinity.
Instantly, more than a dozen skeletons were blasted into nothingness by this one blow.
"This ability to corrode is outrageous. It can even control Yi Hai. I thought she was a specialist in electronic devices."
Nicole, of course, also saw this through the binoculars and couldn't help but look surprised.
To be honest, there are many people with supernatural powers now because of the dissipation of etheric energy, but this is the first time she has ever seen someone so easily control Yi Hai's abilities.
"I just don't know if this erosion prototype can be mass-produced. If it can be mass-produced..."
Since the other party is a robot, if it can create one, it should be able to create a second one.
"So I'm unemployed?" Billy chimed in.
Nicole put down her binoculars and rolled her eyes at Billy. "Unemployment my ass. If we can mass-produce, we'll be considering whether to launch a counterattack on the Void."
"Huh? Then let's not mass-produce it... No, if we mass-produce it, everyone can live better... Ah, no, that's not right either, wouldn't I lose my job?"
Billy was immediately caught in a dilemma.
"Now is not the time to dwell on these things. All the Yi Hai over there has been wiped out. Let's hurry over there."
After Nicole finished speaking, she jumped a few times and ran off into the distance.
"Oh no, so fast? Oh no, it looks like I'm really going to lose my job."
Billy, in a frenzy, covered his head with his hands and ran after him.
"How about it? With me taking action, this mere Yi Hai is no match for me!"
Upon seeing Nicole and the others arrive, Erosion immediately put his hands on his hips triumphantly, and the little wings on his back flapped happily.
"Yes, Lord Erosion is amazing! Lord Erosion is top-notch!"
Nicole immediately gave a thumbs up. This time she was truly impressed. This efficiency was many times faster than all the people in the Rabbit House combined.
"However, Lord Erosion, I remember Miss Baizhi said that we should test the strength of the armed puppets."
Nicole said in a low voice, she was more curious about the combat power of the mass-produced model, after all, she felt she couldn't afford to hire something like the Corruptor.
"Uh... I am also an armed puppet, so I am carrying out the director's orders. However, I will also send the mass-produced machines to fight next."
Chapter 451 The Genius Idea of Erosion
Hearing Nicole's words, Erosion immediately felt embarrassed and tried to argue his way out of it.
"I think what Lord Erosion said is also correct. As a noble prototype, it is only natural for Lord Erosion to show us the most advanced technological capabilities of Miss Baizhi's side."
Nicole smiled slightly and said with great emotional intelligence.
"That's right, human, you're absolutely right. You've got my eye on it. If you ever hire an armed doll from my shop, I'll give you a discount, meow."
Hearing Nicole's words, Erosion's somewhat flustered feeling immediately subsided.
Listen to this big-breasted human, he speaks so pleasantly. He didn't just fight to show off to humans; he was doing it for his respected master, Bai Zhi, to demonstrate to these backward humans what truly advanced technology looks like.
There are still good people among humans.
I was too extreme before. Why did I always think about killing people? At least I should have spared those who spoke nicely.
"Then we must thank Lord Erosion."
Nicole immediately broke into a bright smile.
People who speak nicely have an advantage. Look, just a little flattery and they get a discount.
"Don't thank me, you should thank my master, Bai Zhi!"
"Everything I have now is a gift from my dear master, meow!"
"Ah, that's right, we have to thank Miss Bai Zhi for all of this, but Lord Erosion is also very worthy of our gratitude."
Nicole followed the lead and climbed the ladder of conversation.
"Not bad, not bad, human. I like people like you, meow. I initially thought New Ellie was a bit too urbanized, with too many unnecessary things, but thinking about it, this city still has its value."
Erosion patted Nicole's shoulder with its small hand in acknowledgment.
Nicole wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had a feeling that Erosion was hiding something terrible, or even extremely dangerous, in his words.
"Next, I'll send the mass-produced machines into battle, and you guys will support them from the sidelines, meow."
"No problem, we're best at support!"
Nicole readily agreed.
"Alright, then you get there!"
Erosion glanced at the mass-production machines behind him and gave the order.
Upon receiving the order, the mass-produced machine immediately drew its katana and activated combat mode.
Since the area had already been cleared, the group quickly moved forward.
A short while later, a group of skeletons gathered together appeared in front of everyone.
Of course, besides these remains, there was also... a huge engineering composite machine that was calling out in a seemingly delicate female voice:
"You guys, stay away! Don't disturb my lovemaking with Brother Lou!"
