"Let go of me! Let go of me! Let go of me!"
Jibril began to protest vehemently, but how could Liu Yuan possibly let her go?
Having to cross back and forth twice made him lose ten thousand. That's ten thousand, which could buy a computer and earn him six hundred a day. In a thousand or eight hundred years, it could accumulate to a hundred million. Rounded up, that's a hundred million that Jibril cost him, and thus, she couldn't be let go.
"Boss, what about her?"
"Just leave her to me. I'll make sure she compensates me for all my losses."
Liu Yuan had a bright smile on his face. If asked if he could beat Jibril, the answer was yes. Even if he was trying to skimp the match against Jibril, she was bound to lose because he possessed the purest Frenzied Flame in his hand, a fire that could burn everything in the world. If the Elden Lord resort to pure malice and violence, the God of War might bounce back to death, not to mention Jibril.
But why bother fighting her directly? As long as he dodged, the release of Heaven's Strike would lead to the overuse of energy, causing her to revert to a juvenile state. Catching her then would be effortless. Fighting requires brains; why waste energy when he could defeat her with minimal effort?
After bundling Jibril with only her head left unrestrained, Liu Yuan tossed her out and pulled her back like a yo-yo. He then reminded Riku, "Remember, Schwi is a Ex Machina. She might call herself a machine, but you can't treat her like one. In the future, when you sleep, remember to keep an eye on her. I might not be around next time."
With that, Liu Yuan made them return. The scene left Riku and Schwi staring at each other. Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Schwi raised her small hand, "Riku! I can create motorized construction vehicles."
"Riku! I can rub out nuclear bombs."
"Riku..."
Seeing that Riku was unmoved, Schwi unconsciously lowered her head.
For the first time, she felt nervousness and... fear? Was this an emotion that should come from a machine?
The scolding she anticipated didn't come. Instead, she felt Riku's warm embrace and saw his self-condemnation.
Inside the internet cafe, Liu Yuan was flinging his yo-yo while shouting to Kisara, who was playing a game, "Look at the new toy I got."
"What?"
Kisara thought it was something fun, but when she saw the pink-haired loli in Liu Yuan's hand, all the glamour in her eyes disappeared. She pulled out a pink blade from somewhere.
"The perverted boss has finally laid his hands out at a little kid. Let me impose heavenly punishment on the boss! Heavenly Execution!!!"
"I'll parry!"
"I slash!"
"I parry again!"
Liu Yuan used Jibril as a shield, holding her body to block Kisara's successive slashes. Jibril, worthy of being a war weapon created by the gods, had a body so marvelous that Liu Yuan wanted to delve deeper into it. It was soft and bouncy in his hand, and effective as a shield to block weapons.
"!!!"
Being treated like this, Jibril was mad. After so many years as a Flugel, she'd been underestimated quite a few times, but this was the first time she'd been so humiliated. She swore that she would absolutely kill the man and woman in front of her once she escaped.
After a few slashes, Jibril was shaken and dazed, and Kisara's emotions calmed down.
"Ehhh? Boss? You're back? I'm very sorry, I got carried away playing the game and mistook you for a monster."
"It's not a big problem! This is my freshly captured..."
"Slave?"
Liu Yuan shook his head, "No, but a debtor. You're the network manager, so she's an ordinary sales clerk in charge of serving tea and water. She won't be allowed to leave until she earns enough to pay off her debt of a hundred million."
"Pfft! Boss, you hire child laborers?"
Liu Yuan shook his head, "She looks like a young girl but is actually thousands of years old. She only turned into this form because of energy exhaustion. Feel free to make use of her. Until she repays the money, she won't be able to leave."
"Hiss, then boss, how much is her salary?"
Kisara was curious about this point. How much money was owed wasn't the issue; the problem was the wages. She had a bad premonition.
Liu Yuan looked at Kisara suspiciously, "Wages? What wages? If she eats and plays with me, I still have to deduct her money."
"Hiss..."
Kisara also contributed to global warming. She thought Liu Yuan was ruthless, but she didn't expect him to be this ruthless.
"Where did this little one offend you, boss?"
"She made me lose a hundred million of profits."
"Okay, question spared. Boss, hacking or not?"
Hearing the word hacking, Liu Yuan instantly got energized, "Come, come, come, Red Alert, let's do our usual abuse to the bots."
"Today I'm going to rip 08's head off."
"What?"
Liu Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Are you a headhunter? Staring at people's heads? And people are just an AI."
"Because of this..."
Kisara opened a video. Any player who challenged these AIs would receive a video clip of the AI after a few minutes. Kisara and Liu Yuan teamed up with a computer to take out two computers easily, or even 2 to 2. She only needed to develop, encountering the enemy with more than enough to stabilize the two have the possibility of winning.
But then, she was a noob addicted player. Alone, she couldn't beat these computers. Every day she opened the room for two games.
And it turned into...
"Yo? This person's name is Strongest Demon King, let's meet her."
"Let's play a little bit? I only know a little, just enough to satisfy her."
"It's been a long time since I've fought with Kisara, let's have a game with Kisara today."
Looking at the opening clip within this video, Liu Yuan vaguely realized that the situation wasn't right, but he still watched on, and then he couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Let's pinch her head and sway it from side to side."
"Strangle her head and sway it from side to side."
"Swing from side to side~"
The video created by the AI played with ghostly animals, which made even Kisara unable to contain her anger.
Remembering the way the AI mocked her throughout the videos, Kisara gripped her blade in frustration.
So Kisara swore that she was bound to rip 08's head off.
As a result, she played so many games. Kisara was improving, but her ways to die were increasing, the video material was growing, and the laughs didn't stop.
"Hahahahaha! I can't do it, this AI system is too intelligent. What am I saying, I have to like this video!"
Liu Yuan liked the video on the front foot, and the new video was released on the back foot.
"Thank you to the following fans for charging in to watch more videos. Thank you to 'pinching Kisara's head and swaying it from side to side' for the super large power plant, thank you very much!"
"Pfft! Hahahahaha!"
Liu Yuan couldn't stop laughing, while Kisara expressionlessly looked at the already unconscious Jibril.
The same pink hair, the same gender, younger and juvenile, and her body was also stronger.
"Let's make a chicken stew to start off today!"
Kisara's idea didn't materialize after all, as Liu Yuan had already pulled Kisara and Intelligence 08 into a game.
It was just an AI, so naturally, she couldn't rip off its head, but it was still fine to start a game of life and death combat and abuse it two on one.
As for Jibril, who had awakened, she squirmed like a caterpillar towards the door.
"There! Just get there and I can!!!"
Unfortunately, the distance that seemed so close to her was like the distance between the earth and the cosmos.
