"AI Core, activate the body repair program!"
At the command, the three men's bodies flowed like mercury. All the damage rapidly repaired itself, and even the grime vanished, restoring their magnificent silver exteriors.
"Repairs complete. Deducting 300 points in repair fees!" the onboard AI Core announced.
"We took a loss!" Lao Da covered his face and groaned.
They had earned roughly 1,000 Infinite Coins from the battle, but repairs alone had cost the three of them 900. Factoring in the energy expenditure they had to cover themselves, they had essentially worked for nothing.
