Ms. Herta Is Unmatched!

Three months later.

Wu Feng, in a little pink dress, had just absorbed her First Soul Ring. She eagerly grabbed Ning Tian's soft, fair hand and dashed toward Bai Mo's room.

Following behind, Wu Qingyao could only shake her head helplessly. Then, wearing a curious smile, she went after them too.

It was all because—

Every night these past few days, Wu Feng and Ning Tian had entered Bai Mo's Martial Soul together and fought fiercely against a golden big sister!

Bai Mo said it was combat training!

Once, after they went in, Bai Mo had casually mentioned something about a "treasure trove." He said that today they could summon a really powerful character or item!

Wu Feng had been itching with anticipation ever since.

Wu Qingyao followed along, her face full of curiosity. These days, Bai Mo had been taking the two little girls' mental power into his Martial Soul to play.

The fun-loving big sister was eager to join in too. Unfortunately, with Bai Mo's current mental strength, he couldn't yet handle an imposing Soul Douluo entering his Scepter.

"Bai Mo, Bai Mo! Are you done washing? The young mistress and I are back!"

Wu Feng pushed open Bai Mo's door without a care and ran inside, not at all concerned whether he was taking a bath.

"I'm done, I'm done! What's the rush? Once Aunt Ning finishes her work, I'll have her bless me first, then I'll pull!"

With a white towel wrapped around his head and dressed in a little pair of pajamas, Bai Mo emerged from the bath.

"This is my first time deploying, after all. I have to be fully prepared!"

Bai Mo had been busy these past few days. At night, he and the two little girls went to fight the boss, Angel God. During the day, he cultivated Soul Power while doing his best to study the code of the Douluo World.

Then he picked and chose bits and pieces to stuff into his Scepter.

After all, Bai Mo's mental strength was far too weak right now. He couldn't make the Scepter evolve a world on its own.

Just a few days ago, Bai Mo had gotten a sudden idea and created a Ning Tian in the Simulated Universe, to see if he could evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda through iteration.

The good news was that Bai Mo had simulated a method of evolution that purified bloodlines.

The bad news was that, at this stage, no one could possibly control this method. Bai Mo himself couldn't yet make the Emperor Scepter alter reality's code and thereby evolve Ning Tian's Martial Soul.

In the end, Bai Mo decided to copy some flowers, plants, and little Soul Beasts from the Douluo World, to see whether his Simulated Universe data might produce some kind of chemical reaction once it had grown.

For example, perhaps he could combine herbs to reproduce the effect of Aromatic Silk Beauty and develop new Immortal Herbs from there.

"In that case, let's go wait by the entrance to the Nine Treasure Hall! Hurry, hurry!"

"Wait! Wu Feng, let Bai Mo change his clothes first!" Seeing Wu Feng rush up and grab Bai Mo as if she were about to drag him straight out, Ning Tian reminded her helplessly.

"What's the big deal? It's not like Bai Mo's naked—"

"Shut up! Little Red Hair, this book's going to get banned!" Bai Mo clapped a hand over the little redhead's mouth, stopping her from finishing that outrageous remark.

"Don't worry. I'll definitely call you over when I pull. Just let me change first. It'd be a little indecent to go out like this!"

Speaking of pulls, Bai Mo was speechless. He really did have to hit pity every time! Nothing blue until pity—just white and green one-use buffs or Credit Points.

And even the blue pity pulls were mostly materials, EXP books, and one-star blessings. The first two made up the bulk of them, and he hadn't pulled a character even once.

Bai Mo had picked through the items and fed some to Little Ice Bird, while putting the rest into the Emperor Scepter.

As a result, Little Ice Bird had already reached Level 36.

The blessing Bai Mo had pulled increased his normal attacks: [Propagation: Bone Blade]. Now "Qian Renxue" hit children even harder.

Of course, Bai Mo could also benefit from the Simulated Universe's blessings. His punches were formidable now, too.

"Let's go, let's go! We'll wait for Aunt Ning by the entrance to the hall!" Bai Mo came out of his bedroom, now dressed.

Along with Wu Feng and Ning Tian, and Wu Qingyao, who ambled over after they left, he went to ask Sect Master Ning for a blessing.

Of course, this blessing was nothing more than a way for Bai Mo to reassure himself!

"You little rascal, you really do have a knack for coming up with things!"

After finishing her meeting, Sect Master Ning returned to her room with the three little ones and the older girl trailing along in their mischief.

"Aunt Ning, you know me! My intuition is super accurate. Just shine your Martial Soul on me, and I'm sure to get something good this time!"

Bai Mo clenched his fist, brimming with enthusiasm!

"I give up. Seven Treasures, come forth, Glazed Tile!" Ning Fengya chuckled, pressing a hand to her forehead before summoning her Martial Soul.

"Seven Treasures Have Names: First, Strength; Second, Speed; Third, Soul; Fourth, Defense; Fifth, Attack; Sixth, Enhancement."

As Ning Fengya chanted, streaks of light circled around Bai Mo.

Ignoring the pleasant sensation coursing through his body, Bai Mo knew the moment had come!

His gaze was resolute as he summoned his Star Rail Pass.

Buddha, Jade Emperor, please, please, please!

"Open!"

Then came the familiar sight of the Pass flying into the void and summoning the train.

Bai Mo's heart pounded as he watched the pulling animation with bated breath.

Everyone else stared intently at the ten cards as they descended. No matter how many times they saw it, this Martial Soul still seemed magical!

"Forget it! All in! Open them all!" Bai Mo waved his little hand and revealed every card!

Flying Sword Model ×1, Conscience ×3, Credit Points ×500, and...

"I'm Herta. I'm busy right now. This is a remote puppet in automatic-response mode: Hello, hello, hello, everyone. Have a nice day. Goodbye."

That familiar robotic voice, the little black beret, the light brown hair falling to her waist, the purple eyes, and the black-and-purple dress...

"Ms. Herta loves me!"

Seeing Bai Mo's astonished, delighted expression, Ning Fengya and Ning Tian figured he must have summoned someone remarkable!

The Wu mother and daughter curiously examined the new character Bai Mo had summoned. Little Wu was delighted and wanted to go give her a hug, while Big Wu compared a certain body part and smirked disdainfully.

"Um, you seem to have gotten something wrong. I'm not Herta!"

Little Black Tower wasn't surprised that the person before her recognized her. After all, when she was summoned, some information had appeared in her mind.

"So, you're not connected?"

"Hah, you could put it that way. The one standing before you is Herta Puppet No. 103. I'm currently unable to contact Herta herself."

"Also, the way the rest of you are staring isn't very polite to a puppet with intelligence and the ability to think."

Little Black Tower spoke coolly, without a trace of emotion.

"Ahem, sorry. We were too curious and acted rudely." Sect Master Ning stepped forward and apologized to Little Black Tower on everyone's behalf.

Bai Mo, meanwhile, was ecstatic. Connected to Big Herta or not, Little Black Tower was still smarter than him. He could leave the Simulated Universe part of his work entirely to her!
