"According to the 'no damage despite smoke' law, the other party should be fine."

Chen Luo waved his hand, and a gust of clear wind instantly dispersed the smoke and mist.

A large pit appeared on the spot, and the shield assembled from the Heavy Cannon Rabbit was completely unharmed and was reverting to its combat mode.

"See? I told you it's 'no damage despite smoke'."

"I don't know where you heard these strange, twisted theories, Alo, but it seems to be quite effective," Kiana retorted.

"Combat power detection complete. Capture chance: 15.96%, lower than estimated. Plan changed, initiating evacuation." After discovering how troublesome Chen Luo was, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit began to slowly fly away, dragging Bronya with it, clearly intending to escape.

"Oh no, she's going to escape!" Kiana exclaimed.

"What should we do? Alo, stop her quickly," Raiden Mei tugged at Chen Luo's clothes.

"No way, how am I supposed to stop her when she can fly? Do you think I'm omnipotent?" Chen Luo shot Raiden Mei a look.

"Alo is definitely omnipotent," Raiden Mei said firmly.

After all, throughout their journey, Raiden Mei hadn't found anything Chen Luo couldn't do.

"..."

[Ding! You have a new commission!]

[Omnipotent Traveler]: Oh, omnipotent Traveler, stop this biological weapon from leaving and separate the controller on her person, and grant Bronya freedom.

Reward: 150 raw stones + Raiden Mei's approval

"Alright, I can actually do this," Chen Luo said, nodding reluctantly upon seeing the commission.

"You think you can run after offending me, Chen Luo? It's not that simple! Heavy Cannon Rabbit, beat her!" Chen Luo shouted at the Heavy Cannon Rabbit that was slowly flying up with Bronya.

"The Heavy Cannon Rabbit is Bronya's most precious treasure, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit would never..." Bronya, flying in the air, looked at Chen Luo with a cold expression.

"Bang!" The Heavy Cannon Rabbit landed a heavy punch on Bronya's head, and Bronya immediately fainted.

"Sometimes, it's best not to speak so definitively." Chen Luo jumped up and caught Bronya as she fell from the sky.

[Ding! Defeated Bronya Zaychik, obtained 80 raw stones]

Since Bronya is not a Honkai Beast, Militant, or Herrscher... the reward does not need to be converted into crystals.

Chapter 72: Now, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit is Mine! (4K)

Thanks to the assist from the Heavy Cannon Rabbit 19C, Bronya was successfully knocked unconscious.

As Bronya fainted, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit 19C also rapidly descended from the sky, attempting to retrieve Bronya.

But when Chen Luo placed a hand on the unmanned Heavy Cannon Rabbit, it instantly stopped moving and remained still.

"Quick, quick, quick, strip her clothes. Since she doesn't have any external interfaces on her body, it means the controller must be installed somewhere inside her clothes. We just need to take that thing out," Chen Luo said to Raiden Mei and Kiana while suppressing the Heavy Cannon Rabbit.

"As expected, Alo is omnipotent. To be able to control the opponent's armor," Raiden Mei hurried over and took Bronya from Chen Luo's arms.

"Wait, how did you control this mech?" Kiana asked incredulously.

"Is that the most important issue right now? We need to quickly strip her clothes and get the controller out," Chen Luo pointed at Bronya.

"Alright," Raiden Mei nodded, then picked up Bronya and walked towards a shop by the roadside.

Feeling Bronya leaving, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit slowly drifted towards them, even with Chen Luo's suppression.

"Hey, hey, hey, Mei, what are you doing?" Chen Luo asked, watching Raiden Mei carry Bronya away.

"We can't exactly undress her in front of you, can we? She's a girl," Raiden Mei said.

"At a time like this, are you still concerned about that?"

"Of course, I am. However, if you can't suppress it, Alo, we can do it here..." Raiden Mei nodded.

"Then, that's fine. Kiana, hurry up and help Mei, just don't take her too far. If she goes too far, I won't be able to suppress this mech anymore."

"Got it," Raiden Mei nodded, then found a cover that completely blocked their line of sight and began to get handsy with Bronya along with Kiana.

"Ah... ah... this feels so strange, inside my body..." Bronya mumbled in her unconscious state.

"Got it, it must be this. Please bear with it for a moment," Kiana's surprised voice rang out.

"Mmm... Ugh..."

"Kiana, are you done yet? Stop fumbling with someone else's body!"

"..." Chen Luo looked enviously at the cover.

"Why are you guarding me like I'm a pervert? Heavy Cannon Rabbit, in this heartless and cold world, only you can give me a sliver of warmth," Chen Luo said while stroking the Heavy Cannon Rabbit.

The trembling Heavy Cannon Rabbit clearly wanted to resist, but after struggling for a while, it ultimately couldn't.

Without its master awake, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, with its low self-awareness, was completely unable to escape Chen Luo's control over [Furniture Mastery].

Furniture Mastery: Master and control all household furniture.

After the Herrscher of Knowledge altered Chen Luo's consciousness, Chen Luo saw everything as furniture, including the Heavy Cannon Rabbit.

With Furniture Mastery, Chen Luo could control the on/off functions of ordinary household items like refrigerators and air conditioners. For smaller items like combs and spatulas, he could even move them remotely.

Pots and pans, submit to me!

Perhaps it was because Chen Luo's strength was too poor, so Chen Luo could only briefly influence precious things with a certain level of sentience after touching them.

Take the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, for example.

Simply put, even a noob couldn't hold a weapon in front of Chen Luo.

Unfortunately, Chen Luo usually faced opponents stronger than him, so this trait was likely useless.

However, it was a great artifact for bullying weaker opponents.

And when Chen Luo kicked the Heavy Cannon Rabbit just now, he had briefly made contact.

This allowed him to control the Heavy Cannon Rabbit to knock out Bronya.

The longer Chen Luo was in contact with an item, the greater the influence he could exert on it.

For instance, after half a minute of close contact with a refrigerator, Chen Luo could even remotely open its door.

As Chen Luo continued to make close contact with the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, its resistance in Chen Luo's hands gradually decreased.

However, because the Heavy Cannon Rabbit had an owner and possessed sentience, if Bronya woke up, she would immediately regain control.

But this didn't mean Chen Luo's current contact with the Heavy Cannon Rabbit was useless. As Chen Luo slowly made contact, the influence he could exert on the Heavy Cannon Rabbit would only grow.

At the very least, he could ensure the Heavy Cannon Rabbit wouldn't attack him, or would pause for a while when attacking.

What if Chen Luo slept holding the Heavy Cannon Rabbit? Would it only listen to Chen Luo from then on?

That was a question.

The Heavy Cannon Rabbit, which would normally turn into an energy form after losing its Honkai energy supply, was now appearing in its physical form. This showed how much Chen Luo's control over it was increasing.

The Heavy Cannon Rabbit didn't hit hard, just enough to knock Bronya out. So after Kiana took the controller from somewhere, Bronya slowly woke up.

"Bronya, how are you feeling now?" Chen Luo could hear Raiden Mei's concerned question from a distance.

"Bronya... doesn't know how to answer that question..." Bronya's voice, still devoid of emotion, sounded out, but this time with a touch more humanity.

"It's okay, big sister will protect you. I won't let anyone else control you."

"Now... should I say thank you?" Bronya's voice held a hint of confusion.

"Wait, Heavy Cannon Rabbit? Where's my Heavy Cannon Rabbit?" Bronya's voice suddenly became flustered.

The Heavy Cannon Rabbit, which would always appear by her side when summoned, had suddenly disappeared.

"Uh, this..."

When Bronya, still somewhat disheveled, stumbled out of the cover leaning against her exoskeleton armor, she was greatly shocked by the scene before her.

The boy she had been fighting just now was leaning against the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, and the Heavy Cannon Rabbit was feeding him chips with one hand and juice with the other.

"!!!"

My Heavy Cannon Rabbit!!!

The Heavy Mech Rabbit 19C was a gift from Seele to Bronya.

For Bronya, the current scene was akin to the reborn Seele embracing someone else.

How could she bear that?

"Oh, you're alright now." Seeing Bronya walk out, and Mei quickly stepping out to support her, Chen Luo greeted them.

"Heavy Cannon Rabbit, come back!" Bronya said coldly.

Hearing Bronya's command, the Heavy Mech Rabbit 19C instantly left Chen Luo and flew to Bronya.

Chen Luo, having lost the support of the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, quickly braced himself with his hands to avoid falling.

"Heavy Cannon Rabbit, throw this away," Bronya said unhappily, looking at the juice and chips in its hand.

"Don't throw it!" Chen Luo immediately said as the Heavy Cannon Rabbit was about to throw them.

Seeing the Heavy Cannon Rabbit suddenly stop, Bronya gave the order again.

"Throw it!"

"Don't throw it!"

"Throw it!"

"Don't throw it!"

Although Chen Luo couldn't compare to Bronya in terms of main control, through prolonged intimate contact, Chen Luo had already established a certain emotional bond with the Heavy Mech Rabbit 19C, so he could prevent it from throwing things.

"Alright, alright, you two, stop arguing," Raiden Mei took the cola and chips back from the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, stopping their argument.

"Why can you control the Heavy Mech Rabbit 19C?" Bronya stared intently at Chen Luo and asked.

"Non-living objects that my body has touched are easily influenced by me. However, your Heavy Cannon Rabbit resisted quite strongly, so my control evolved into friendship. See, we're good friends now." Chen Luo waved at the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, and it waved back at Chen Luo.

"...Does the Heavy Cannon Rabbit really have its own consciousness?" Hearing Chen Luo's words, Bronya didn't pay attention to his ability but rather to this matter.

For Bronya, it was a treasure that Seele had exchanged with her life. Bronya often had the sentiment, "If only the little rabbit wasn't a cold machine, but a friend with its own consciousness."

"Of course, it does. It can even write code and fix bugs. It's just that your communication with it isn't deep enough yet; you need to understand each other more profoundly. The Heavy Cannon Rabbit is a very good robot, remember to value it more."

"Moreover, this robot armor seems to contain some extremely precious emotions. This isn't an ordinary robot; you need to learn to use it well. Otherwise, the Heavy Cannon Rabbit will be sad."

Chen Luo wasn't completely talking nonsense. At least in the Post-Honkai Odyssey, the Heavy Mech Rabbit 19C had indeed done such things, and could even play with children.

"Bronya knows, you don't need to remind me." Hearing Chen Luo's words, Bronya seemed to recall something, and her previously expressionless face was filled with emotion.

"Then welcome to the team." Chen Luo stood up, walked over, and extended his hand to Bronya.

"What team?"

"The Traveler Team. The three of us are team members, and now it seems we need to add one more."

"All of you? Alright, as payment for saving me, I'll join." Looking at the hand Chen Luo extended, Bronya hesitated for a moment before shaking it.

Even though he had hit her with the Heavy Cannon Rabbit, it was probably for her own good, so she would forgive him this once.

Besides, it seemed she couldn't defeat them now, so she could only stay by their side and wait for an opportunity.

"Alright, now the Traveler Team has four members, and the name should change too." Chen Luo turned his head and said, looking at Bronya who had joined their little Herrscher squad.

"Are we changing the name?"

"Yes, it's going from the Traveler, Thunder Queen, White Hair Dumpling Squad to the Traveler, Thunder Queen, White Hair Dumpling, Duck Squad." Chen Luo nodded.

"Duck? Who?"

"You." Chen Luo pointed at Bronya.

"If you read Bronya in Chinese quickly, it sounds like 'Duck.' So, to shorten our already long team name, you'll have to put up with it."

"..."

Fine, Bronya took back her previous words. She now felt like using the Heavy Cannon Rabbit to punch Chen Luo in the face.
