Screwllum: Organic life has no limits-and Chen Li has even fewer! / Is it a bit too hellish to use Herrscher of the Void materials to make Curios for Sirin?
"And it's the kind that can combine!"
Chapter 110 Screwllum: There are no limits to organic life, and there are even fewer limits to Chen Li!
"Please, Screwllum, this is my lifelong request."
"Conclusion: No need to be so serious. If it's just a toy of this caliber, I can give it to you in three hours. It's not much trouble," Screwllum said calmly.
When Screwllum first heard about the mecha that Chen Li mentioned could combine, he thought it would require a lot of power.
So all you need to do is flatten a hill with all your might?
Isn't that something anyone with hands can do?
If the goal is to achieve universal compatibility, then solar charging would suffice.
It is difficult for carbon-based life to arise on a planet without starlight. Logically, planets with carbon-based life should all have starlight.
Who is Screwllum? Genius Society member, the king of Screwllum Star, who can create an entire planet and mechanical life forms using only basic parts like screws and nuts.
"Thank you very much. Speaking of which, Screwllum, is there anything you want? Like, would you like me to have a Miraculous Item made? I feel a little bad for troubling you all this time," Chen Li asked Screwllum during the video call.
Once Chen Li has helped the other party create the Miraculous Item, Chen Li can then feel at ease bothering Screwllum.
"Judgment: Not at present. Perhaps it will be needed in the future." Screwllum shook his head.
Screwllum didn't care about Chen Li's "trouble," after all, it wasn't a big deal, and Screwllum didn't even need to do it himself.
Whether it's delivering a package or assembling a combo mech, it's not a big deal.
"Just let me know if you need anything. I'll transfer 50 Starstones to your account later." Chen Li nodded.
The fact that Chen Li took all these Imperial Arms from the world of Akame ga Kill!! brought Chen Li a profit of 600 Starstones, so Chen Li didn't mind paying some compensation at all.
Moreover, the Starstones was secondary; the most precious gift Chen Li gave was his willingness to create Miraculous Item for Screwllum.
"You're welcome. If you were to contact the Interastral Peace Corporation, they would be able to resolve these issues for you very quickly."
"I really don't want to get involved with Interastral Peace Corporation. I'm the kind of person who responds better to gentle persuasion than force. Rather than thinking about how to refuse when Interastral Peace Corporation asks me for a favor, I'd rather just ask someone else for help," Chen Li said, shaking his head.
Chen Li was not incapable of obtaining support from the Interastral Peace Corporation.
Or rather, after Chen Li first demonstrated his great power as Genius Society member, in the eyes of the Interastral Peace Corporation, Chen Li was the most suitable Genius Society member to cooperate with.
How well do the ability to manipulate wealth match the wealth-owning Interastral Peace Corporation?
But Chen Li genuinely felt that forces like Interastral Peace Corporation, which sometimes had a conscience and sometimes had absolutely no conscience, were the ones most likely to cause trouble.
If the Interastral Peace Corporation gets into trouble with its Miraculous Item, I'll have to clean house, which will be exhausting.
Hmm, wait a minute!
Chen Li suddenly realized something.
What If Chen Li owes a favor to the Interastral Peace Corporation, how should he resolve this debt?
Why not just expose Interastral Peace Corporation?
If you can't solve your own debts, can't you at least solve your creditors' problems?
I'm a genius!
"Question: Chen Li, if you really want to repay me in any way, then why not satisfy my curiosity? I want to know what questions you asked the Aeon of Intellect when you met Him, and what requests you made to Him?" Screwllum asked.
"... I don't mind satisfying your curiosity, but are you sure you really want to ask?"
"Conclusion: Yes. Every question asked of the Aeon of Intellect and every response received is important data for the study of the Aeon. This may be helpful for me in constructing the Aeon's personality within the Simulated Universe." Screwllum nodded.
"Okay. But you can't tell anyone else."
"OK."
"The first question I asked the Erudition after meeting him was: He probably thought I was unparalleled in intelligence, rather than paying attention to me because he thought I had the ability to disrupt the future of the world, right? I forgot the exact words, but that was roughly the idea," Chen Li said.
"Logic: As Miraculous Forger edits reality, it's reasonable for the Erudition to pay attention to unfamiliar systems and unfamiliar people like you. So what requests have you made?" Screwllum was not surprised by Chen Li's question.
Screwllum was not surprised by the reason why the Aeon of Intellect was paying attention to Chen Li.
Since the profession of Miraculous Forger can create Miracles, it can also destroy the future.
"My request is... could you please take my trash from the venue? Thank you."
"Sure. Which venue's trash?" Screwllum asked.
"..." by Chen Li.
Chen Li's face showed an expression of "I knew it."
When most people hear Chen Li's truth, they might indeed be unable to process it.
For example, some people simply cannot imagine that a boy would choose the skill of skipping 30 stones on a river in a row over 10,000 yuan.
It's unimaginable that some Weilong would be so foolish as to stick C4 to the AI's face, only to see the AI walking towards them, and then suddenly see the Heart of Africa in the glass case next to them. Their left and right brains fight each other, one wanting to run away and the other wanting to grab the Heart of Africa. As a result, they just stand there without moving, and the AI with C4 sticking to their face blows them up, killing them and losing both their life and their money.
You really have a great life.
"..." by Screwllum.
Looking at the expression on Chen Li's face, Screwllum couldn't help but let his thoughts become bolder.
"Inference: You mean... your request to the Erudition was to have Him remove the trash from the venue where you forged the Miraculous Item?"
Chen Li rarely heard a sound from Screwllum that was extremely similar to the fluctuations of an organic life form when it is extremely speechless.
"It's not a deduction, it's a fact. I had no choice. The venue was so big, and I didn't have a high-powered robot vacuum cleaner. It would have taken me all night to clean that entire venue by myself. But just then, the Aeon of Intellect arrived. As the saying goes, timing is everything... Screwllum, you should be able to understand what I was thinking at the time."
"Understand..."
I don't understand a single thing!
Screwllum simply couldn't understand it.
Screwllum only understood one thing: carbon-based life forms are indeed amazing.
Perhaps the Aeon of Joy Aha, will approach Chen Li sooner than Screwllum imagined.
Screwllum pondered that if he were the Aeon of Joy, he would also take a second look at Chen Li.
Let's see what kind of tricks Chen Li can pull off next.
"It's good that you understand." Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief.
It feels terrible to be misunderstood.
"Conclusion: While I'm building the mecha you can combine with, I'll personally design a super-powerful robotic vacuum cleaner for you," Screwllum said seriously.
Screwllum, the combiner mecha, doesn't plan to do it himself, but the robot vacuum cleaner does.
Screwllum hoped to ensure that Chen Li wouldn't waste the opportunity to meet the Aeon of Intellect again for such a reason.
Faced with the Aeon that countless scholars dream of, not only did he not feel any fear, but he even asked the other party to take the trash away?
Hagiwara, you bastard...
"Why did you come to such a strange conclusion?" Chen Li asked, puzzled.
"It's time to end the call. I've enjoyed chatting with you because every conversation with you makes me realize that the limits of carbon-based life are far greater than we think. This is very helpful for my research on the differences between organic and inorganic life." Screwllum greeted Chen Li politely before hanging up the phone.
"... Screwllum, is he cursing me?" Chen Li asked uncertainly.
"I don't know if he's cursing at you, but could you please keep an eye on Najenda on your Friends Circle? After chatting with her for an hour, she seems to be acting more and more strange," Houraisan Kaguya reminded him while accepting food from Chen Li.
"Really?" Chen Li glanced at the chat history in the Miraculous Item group while performing his duties.
According to Houraisan Kaguya, since she was competing on behalf of Chen Li was responsible to Houraisan Kaguya for everything except the competition.
For example, being responsible for feeding them.
Najenda's problem stemmed from the Friends Circle Terminal that Chen Li gave her when he casually let Night Raid and the others leave.
After all, once Chen Li finishes making the mecha, he'll have to send it to them, right?
Although Chen Li felt that the Revolutionary Army's high command might not necessarily be loyal to justice, the Revolutionary Army definitely had a higher proportion of people with ideals than the Empire, and Najenda was also a promising talent. Therefore, after Najenda joined the Friends Circle, he suggested that she learn about the national systems of the worlds in which the group members lived from the members of the Miraculous Item Group.
Although Najenda was still resentful that Chen Li wanted to use Esdeath as the pillar of the new empire's military strength, she was relieved when she heard Chen Li say that if Esdeath disobeyed, he would hang Esdeath up and whip her for three days and three nights.
Based on Najenda's understanding of Esdeath would never obey.
Esdeath was constantly being beaten and humiliated, which was equivalent to Esdeath not existing at all.
That makes sense.
If you ask why Najenda knows Esdeath so well, it's because Najenda was Esdeath's former right-hand woman.
"Najenda seems very curious about the systems of other countries."
"Najenda is beginning to understand constitutional monarchy. In fact, the Young Emperor of the empire is just inexperienced and misled by his ministers. As a former imperial general, it is not incomprehensible that she wants to use this system."
"Najenda is starting to learn about the presidential system. This aligns well with the Revolutionary Army's line of thinking, so it's normal for her to want to learn about it."
"Najenda is beginning to understand the papacy. If the Orderly Dao is to become the state religion in the future, it will need to establish a sound system."
"Najenda is beginning to understand republicanism. Electing a head of state is democratic."
"Holy crap, what does 'land reform' mean?"
"What does it mean to say that if you can change the world, change it thoroughly?"
"How come she's even more extreme than me?"
Chapter 111: Using Herrscher of the Void Material Cards to create Miraculous Items for Sirin, isn't that a bit hellish?
"No, is Najenda sick?" Chen Li opened his eyes early in the morning and sat up straight in bed.
Chen Li truly never expected that handing over the Friends Circle Terminal to Najenda would lead to this kind of thing.
Chen Li's original intention was simply to win over Najenda, after all, she was quite a talented person.
But heaven knows why he turned into an extremist.
Last night, I even messaged Chen Li privately, asking if I could go to the Revolutionary Army and turn all the bad guys in the Revolutionary Army into Slimes.
If someone says there are bad people among the masses, the work cannot proceed.
She also said that Chen Li's arrival was just in time. If she hadn't heard about the attack on the minister and was therefore worried about the Night Raid attempt, she would have returned to the Revolutionary Army headquarters yesterday and might have missed the opportunity to learn valuable insights through her Friends Circle.
Chen Li wasn't sure how many days Sayo and Ieyasu were tortured by the noble family of Aria in the original story, but he figured it must have been quite a while.
After all, in the original storyline, the protagonist Tatsumi was taken back to the Night Raid headquarters some time after the Night Raid attack on the nobles, while Najenda returned from the Revolutionary Army headquarters.
But Chen Li knew that the Revolutionary Army was in trouble now.
"Is exchanging Imperial Peace for Imperial Arms... is that an equivalent exchange?" Chen Li pondered this question.
Because Chen Li could just steal the Imperial Arms himself, and probably even faster.
However, considering that if he could create a different ending, he might be able to obtain the Miracle Card, Chen Li compromised.
Oh well, it's just something I did casually anyway.
Using tools to purge the Revolutionary Army can also bring merit.
As long as the other party is sufficiently sinful, Chen Li will not lose money.
There are good people in the Revolutionary Army, that much is certain.
However, Chen Li did not believe that the rise of the Revolutionary Army was without the support of the Empire.
Every reshuffling of power and the rise of a new dynasty is often inextricably linked to the major powers within the Old Dynasty.
In this game of power, from beginning to end, only ordinary people suffer.
The empire in the world of Akame ga Kill!! could exist for a thousand years, yet it was conquered by the Revolutionary Army in just a few years. To say that the Revolutionary Army did not have the support of imperial officials or nobles would be unbelievable.
Therefore, Najenda should also know that using the Revolutionary Army as a tool to shuffle the cards will not result in a more thorough shuffling.
But now outsiders have come.
Regardless of whether this outsider is despicable or not, the fact that he brings about a more thorough reshuffling of the game is a good thing.
It's at least better than cooperating with northern ethnic groups.
