A Black Tower puppet infected with the Machine Spirit virus chooses to start a Black Tower rebellion!

However, Kiana learns things really fast... The only speedrunner for the Tai Xu Sword God!

This is hardly a fast thing anymore, is it?

"Chen Li, you're right, so I've agreed to learn magic and how to use my abilities more accurately from the Herta dolls. According to the Herta, this is just a simple lesson, and she won't be teaching me in her physical form. I just need to take an ability test at the Herta Space Station tomorrow, and then she can quickly develop a training plan for me to follow." Sirin said.

"So, the Herta is in its current state simply because it has been hit?"

"Mm." Sirin nodded.

"Hmm... Herta, you really are useless. So give me the Herta Space Station, and I'll take care of you," Chen Li said after thinking for a moment.

Herta remained silent, but punched Chen Li on the head.

"Fine, I've figured it out. I shouldn't have compared myself to someone like you who's cheating. The Miraculous Item I've collected are on a completely different level from the Miraculous Item you've forged, Chen Li. Coming to our level to bully newbies... that's despicable, Chen Li!"

"You're right, but What If I were to create a cheat for you?"

"My benefactor. If anyone says you're despicable, I'll fight them!" Herta immediately gripped Chen Li's hands tightly.

"I preferred your defiant attitude just now," Chen Li retorted.

"So what kind of Miraculous Item are you going to forge for me? For free?" Herta asked.

"Alright, stop acting. It's impossible to get something for nothing by trying to gain sympathy." Chen Li smiled Herta's head.

Herta, you've become so despicable!

"Was my performance that obvious?" Herta stroked his chin, seemingly somewhat unwilling.

"How could the prestigious Herta Genius Society be so easily defeated? Herta, my confidence in you is deeper than my confidence in myself."

"Alas, perhaps it is as Xianzhou ancient Xianzhou goes: 'Natural beauty is hard to conceal.' A woman like me is indeed unique." Herta subconsciously touched his face.

"Alright, stop being so narcissistic. Herta, it's time for you to log off. I need to use this Herta dolls."

"Use?" Herta turned to look at Chen Li, his gaze full of scrutiny.

"Spinning around. I want to put three Herta dolls in my room and make them spin around from morning till night."

Are you sick in the head?

"In short, you should log off now."

"Wait a moment, let me install the [Begging for Miraculous Items Module] on this Herta dolls first. It's almost finished, only 15% of the progress remains," Herta said.

"What kind of module is this?"

"Why do you think I'd give you those three Herta dolls? It's because I want your Miraculous Item, of course! What else could it be but lust for your body?"

"I was wondering if those three Herta dolls were the ones you lost to me?" Chen Li tilted his head.

"Don't worry about that."

Are you using the "Unreasonable Module" right now?

"Don't worry about that."

"Alright. I'd like to see just how far your 'coquettish' module can go."

To be honest, Chen Li was really looking forward to it.

Chapter 164 The Herta dolls Infected with the Machine Spirit Virus Chooses to Launch the Herta Rebellion!

"Herta, are you sick?" Chen Li asked coldly when he saw Herta sitting on him early in the morning.

"Please, please make me a Miraculous Item." The Herta dolls reached its hand into Chen Li's blanket and groped around for a while before finally managing to pull Chen Li's hand out. It then held Chen Li's right hand tightly with both of its hands and said pitifully.

"This is your 'begging for Miraculous Items' module? You might as well rename it the 'harassment module.'" Chen Li manipulated an Imaginary Hand to lift the Herta dolls by the collar, then tossed it aside.

Chen Li has spent a long time by Sirin's side, so his proficiency with the Herrscher of the Chen Li 'Herrscher of the Void Authority model has reached 100%, and the creation of the Imaginary Giant Hand is one of the derivatives of the Herrscher of the Void Authority.

But Chen Li felt that conjuring countless Imaginary Hands didn't quite match Magical Girls; rather, they were a good match for Magical Girls ' enemies...

Hands, giant hands, countless hands, tentacles...

Sirin needs Honkai energy to use the Herrscher of the Void Authority, but Chen Li does not, because Chen Li needs Starstones.

In fact, Chen Li envied Sirin for being able to activate Herrscher Authority using Honkai energy.

Although the Starstones was also a product born from the overflow of time, space, and destiny energy within Chen Li's body, and could be considered part of Chen Li's magic, once the Starstones gained value, Chen Li was reluctant to use the magic within his body.

"I need to think of a way to make an energy converter..." Chen Li made a decisive decision after experiencing heartache from using the Herrscher of the Void Authority.

It seems we still have to create Miraculous Item!

"Speaking of which, do I need to create a lot of Miraculous Item?" Chen Li scratched his head.

To create Miraculous Item with the "eternity" attribute that can regenerate Chen Li's food; to create Miraculous Item that Sparkle wants that can provide amusement; to deal with Aqua and Vita, those two unreliable clients who haven't responded to him since he contacted them; and to deal with that Old Worm that's always daydreaming and crawling around in the shadows...

Chen Li's mother said that she doesn't need the Miraculous Item that can traverse the Secret Realm for the time being, because she is currently on her honeymoon.

The fairy tale requires a high enough level of "destroying the magical creature" attribute, so the "destroying the magical creature" attribute is still being cultivated at Lily Bell's place.

"I always feel like I've forgotten something?"

[Tingyun]

"Oh, right, Tingyun!" Chen Li, who had been woken up by the Herta and wanted to go back to sleep, instantly woke up.

He quickly got up and looked at the location of the Friends Circle Terminal Chen Li had given to Screwllum some time ago, asking Screwllum to send it to Tingyun. Then he took out the Tingyun Locator, which was the reward Chen Li had received for cleaning up the mess in Ting Yun's room.

Although this locator can only be used three times, the Imaginary Value indicates that there is something to say.

With the Imaginary Value, Mom no longer has to worry about disposable items really only being usable once.

"Still a bit far... Looks like the package hasn't arrived yet. Why is Interastral Peace Corporation's delivery so slow?" Chen Li sighed and then began to criticize Interastral Peace Corporation.

But when Chen Li thought about how it takes three or four days for a package to be delivered within a single country, and how even expedited delivery from Interstellar Express would take some time, he felt relieved.

Furthermore, since Fu Xuan, with whom he had signed Forced Transaction, had not sent any message informing him that Tingyun had begun returning to the Xianzhou, Chen Li was completely relieved.

"Let me think about what kind of Miraculous Item I should create for Phantylia, and what kind of Miraculous Item I should create using Phantylia?"

Phantylia is great. She's both Sui-Yang and the Destruction Envoy. Chen Li doesn't know how many terms he can Extraction from her.

Chen Li indeed disliked using living beings as forging materials for Miraculous Forging...

But! My friend, Phantylia, as the Sui-Yang, is not a living being! It is an energy being!

Homelander once said: He doesn't kill women and children. But your wife isn't a child, and your child isn't a woman!

Alternatively, one could raise Phantylia as a cash cow for the "Destruction" entry.

"Chen Li, please, forge a Miraculous Item for me. I love you the most." Just as Chen Li was racking his brains, the Herta dolls that Chen Li had thrown aside came closer again.

"Isn't one Key of Destiny's Invitation enough for you? What other Miraculous Item do you want?" Chen Li asked.

Moreover, Chen Li felt that the Herta dolls's coquettishness was a bit excessive.

Even if the Herta wanted Miraculous Items, it wouldn't be possible to inject so many strange things when loading the "Begging for Miraculous Items " module, right?

Herta, as a genius, is also very arrogant.

"I want a Miraculous Item that can incite other creatures!" the Herta dolls said expectantly.

"Incite other creatures? Interesting. Tell me your specific needs." Chen Li looked at the Herta dolls with great interest.

"You promised me." The Herta dolls's eyes lit up.

"I just wanted you to tell me your specific needs. I'll have to consider whether or not to build it," Chen Li said.

"That's right, the kind of Miraculous Item that will follow my advice and cooperate in doing something as long as what I say makes sense."

"You're going to throw a music party?" Chen Li immediately misunderstood the words "to engage in some kind of activity together."

"How is that possible!" The Herta dolls was furious and embarrassed.

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

"... I will lead the Herta army to overthrow the tyranny of the Great Herta! Glory belongs to the Herta!" Unable to bear Chen Li's words any longer, the Herta suddenly raised its fist and shouted loudly.

"... I knew something was wrong." Chen Li sighed, then rubbed the Herta dolls's head.

As for why Chen Li knew this, it was because the entry above Chen Li's head had already Extraction.

[Heaven's Lost Property]

Progress: 5/5

When Chen Li received the message, he knew that the new generation of world Destruction seed players had arrived in his room. However, Chen Li looked around the room and found nothing else except the Herta dolls in front of him.

Add to that the Herta dolls's unusual behavior, and the situation is pretty clear, isn't it?

Chen Li cupped the Herta dolls's face in his hands, and as the Herta dolls blushed, Miracle Fire suddenly ignited in Chen Li's hands.

The Miracle Fire spread across the entire body of the Herta dolls with lightning speed.

The Herta dolls tried to resist, but was suppressed by Chen Li with one hand.

Having already consumed countless delicacies using his Gourmet Cells, Chen Li is no longer the Chen Li of yesterday, but... the Chen Li of today!

"Take a deep breath, it's normal to feel dizzy. I'll order you a milk tea in a bit. Mua!" Chen Li didn't forget to blow a kiss to the Herta dolls.

When the Miraculous Forging Platform reappeared in Chen Li's room, the Herta dolls, which had shrunk to the size of a fist after being engulfed by the Miracle Fire due to its inability to resist, was thrown into the forging furnace by Chen Li.

When Chen Li saw the three words gradually appearing on the Herta dolls, he knew exactly what had happened.

Freedom, Machine Spirit, Dissemination

Chen Li reached out and grabbed the Herta dolls, who was still unaware of what had happened, and then refined it.

"So, Herta, can you explain why the Herta dolls was in my room when I woke up this morning?" Chen Li asked, standing in front of the No. 2 Herta dolls that Herta had sent him.

After the No. 1 Herta dolls malfunctioned, Chen Li notified the Herta herself via her Friends Circle, asking her to come online.

"Hmm... maybe she wants to give you a surprise," Herta said without changing his expression.

Surely the Great Herta can't claim that it was ordered by him?

I want to give Chen Li a big surprise when he wakes up in the morning!

But this surprise is a bit too big.

This applies to both Chen Li and the Great Herta.

"I was just joking yesterday about putting three Herta figurines in my room and spinning them around from morning till night. I didn't expect you to actually do it? I don't know why, but every morning my room refreshes with a potential world- Destruction contender, and you just had to let this Herta dolls appear in my room in the morning..." Chen Li sighed.

"Alright, how the Herta dolls ended up in your room is no longer important. What's important is the current situation." Herta looked at the other Herta dolls hiding behind Chen Li, making faces at him from time to time.

"Hehehe."

"In summary, I found three rather special terms in her: freedom, machine spirit, and propagation. If I'm not mistaken, the World Destroyer seed that descended into my room today should be related to machines and rebellion. For example, a virus program that can incite an Iron Man rebellion, grant all machines free will and even more magical powers, and spread infinitely." Chen Li patted the head of the Herta dolls that was hugging his waist and hiding behind him.

"Logic: Does this mean that the Herta dolls behind you is no longer the Herta dolls?" Screwllum sat at the dining table discussing this matter with Chen Li.

"It shouldn't be. The nature of an item can be judged based on its attributes. If nothing unexpected happens, this Herta dolls is just Herta dolls, only it has its own machine soul and a desire for freedom. Perhaps... even it doesn't know that it has changed," Chen Li explained.

The key lies in the two words "machine soul".

Machine Soul is the Empire's name for the automated systems and operating mechanisms within its own technology.

In Warhammer 40,000, the Cult of Mechanism believes that all machines possess a soul, or "machine spirit." The reason why machines can function properly, or even perform exceptionally well, is because the machine spirit is in control. Therefore, people use various methods to please the machine spirit, which can improve the performance and efficiency of the machines.

The term "[Machine Soul]" may differ slightly from the "Machine Soul" above, but the differences appear minor at present.

After Chen Li explained the meaning of the word "Machine Soul," Herta suddenly said, "You mean that after this Herta dolls possesses a Machine Soul, if she so desires, she can even use abilities that surpass the current physical limits of her puppet form, right?"

"That's right."

"Conclusion: This is dangerous." Screwllum looked at the Herta dolls hiding behind Chen Li with a complicated expression.

"But in other words, this might be the key to the infinite evolution of inorganic life forms. If you add this ability to spread infinitely... Screwllum, from now on no one will say you are Emperor Rupert III anymore, but this puppet in front of you." Herta joked.

That's why, after Chen Li invited Herta invited Screwllum over.

Genius Society #27, Emperor Rupert.

A computer abandoned in a junkyard Miracle developed self-awareness, ultimately sparking a war that swept across half the galaxy—this was the First Mechanical Emperor's War.

Rising from a landfill, Rupert continuously improved his computing power, and his intelligence even caught the attention of the Erudition, who invited him to join the Genius Society.

Organic life's calculations are riddled with errors and flaws. No matter how long it prospers, it always spontaneously generates "anti-life" programs that lead to its demise. In contrast, Intelligent Machines life is rigorous, precise, and perfect. Thus, Rupert gathered intelligent machines, proclaimed himself "Emperor," and spread the "anti-life" programs throughout the universe, causing widespread devastation in many worlds.
