It blew up! It blew up!
The buzz had exploded!
By now, it was already night. Li Wei sat at home, feeling as though his Reputation Points were pouring down from the heavens!
In just this little while, they had already surpassed ten million Reputation Points.
He could buy a wife!
This time, most of the buzz came from the eight-sided cage.
As for Martin Li being Mr. Negative, aside from the people of New York paying a little attention, people elsewhere actually didn't care.
A New York philanthropist? What did that have to do with us?
Weren't all capitalists bloodsuckers?
The reason the buzz was so ridiculously huge was because Tony Stark had responded.
This time, he hadn't looked for reporters. Instead, he had posted photos and videos of himself training in boxing on social media.
He had even added the caption: "Come at me if you've got what it takes!"
That immediately prompted media outlets from all over to repost it and hurriedly publish it as news.
As far as the various media outlets were concerned, it had been a long time since there had been news this explosive.
For media outlets that had to create news when there was none, this felt incredible.
Thus, one after another, they fanned the flames, wishing the buzz would grow even bigger.
And so, Li Wei and Tony Stark's names appeared in every section.
As a result, Li Wei's Reputation Points kept rising without pause.
"If they really fought, how huge would the buzz be?"
Muttering to himself, Li Wei opened the system.
His Reputation Points had surpassed ten million. He had to buy a wife!
Li Wei had been thinking about this for ages. You could say he hadn't forgotten his original intention.
He was very interested in androids now!
The villa was so huge, and with only him and 2B inside, it felt empty.
Of course, the main problem was that ten million Reputation Points couldn't buy anything else...
Li Wei also wanted to buy the pharmaceutical technology from Lucy and Limitless, but he couldn't afford it!
He had discovered that in the system shop, technologies that could directly enhance a person's abilities were all much more expensive than indirect technologies.
So there was nothing to hesitate about.
[7th Airborne Squad Eve Design Schematic (Stellar Blade)] Purchase successful!
Stellar Blade was considered "the man's wardrobe."
With more than a hundred outfits in the game, it never got old no matter how many times one played it.
At least Li Wei really wanted to recreate all of them.
Of course, Eve herself was also very powerful.
Like 2B, Eve was an android. However, because of Mother Sphere's technology, Eve was extraordinarily powerful.
She had been made by combining flesh and machinery, allowing her to move freely through space and the deep sea without any protection!
Therefore, Mother Sphere considered her one of the "New Humans."
Li Wei looked at the design schematic.
[Height: 165 cm.] [Weight: 60 kg.] [Measurements: 84/56/90 cm.] [Required materials: 100 kg of water, 200 kg of fiber, 50 kg of metal, and electrification...] [Once created, she will obey the host completely.]
Fortunately, the creation process didn't require flesh.
And at last, she wasn't a three-hundred-pound beauty.
Perhaps it was because Eve still had flesh on her body.
After all, she wasn't a completely artificial "body."
"Create."
[Creation in progress. Please wait...]
With his experience, Li Wei had prepared the materials long ago before lying down in his room.
He didn't waste the waiting time, either.
He still had Reputation Points!
He could finally do a ten-draw!
"Begin ten consecutive draws!"
He was filled with excitement. Even buying Eve's design schematic just now hadn't made him this excited...
That had been something known, while this was unknown.
Everyone had more or less a gambler's mentality.
As the saying went, take a chance, gamble on it, and a bicycle could turn into a motorcycle!
"Give me something good!"
The ten draws flew out at once, with all kinds of lights filling Li Wei's vision.
[Congratulations on completing ten consecutive draws. You have received the following rewards.] [Tear of the Ocean: Jewelry. Wearing it will make you look even better.] [Golden Heart...] [Crystal Tear...]
Li Wei nearly spat blood. Why was it all jewelry?!
Was he an African?
[Fusion Battery: Can be used to provide energy.] [JAR-5 Dominator Design Schematic: Grenade weapon with powerful armor-piercing capabilities!]
The ten-draw was nearly over when something good finally appeared.
A weapon design schematic was useful. After all, arms dealing was where the money was in America...
It was a pity that the Fusion Battery didn't come with a design schematic. Otherwise, he wondered which was better when compared with Tony Stark's nuclear reactor.
Li Wei rallied himself and looked at the "gold card" that inevitably appeared in every ten-draw.
A design schematic slowly appeared before his eyes.
"Design schematic!"
Li Wei's spirits jolted.
[Bumblebee Design Schematic (Transformers): A loyal partner, a friend who will never betray you. Autobots, roll out!]
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Li Wei let out a Noble Roar.
"Who said I was unlucky? I'm the Chosen One!"
He stared excitedly at Bumblebee's design schematic.
This was Bumblebee!
What was a Maybach? Get lost!
[Height: 5 m.] [Weight: 1,000 kg.] [Required materials: 500 kg of water, 500 kg of metal, 100 kg of rubber...]
Li Wei hurriedly got up and had Red Queen bring over the materials.
He hadn't expected to draw Bumblebee!
He had just finished telling Red Queen when he saw the mass of light before him begin to take human form.
First, a pair of perfect, long legs appeared. Then came a subtly forward-leaning curve—clearly designed that way on purpose...
A smooth black high ponytail and deep eyes followed. At first, she had nothing on, but a green, skin-tight nanotech suit soon appeared.
She looked around in slight confusion before locking onto Li Wei.
Unlike 2B, she wasn't excited. Instead, she asked softly, "M-Master?"
Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Eve had quite a personality.
She was gentle, brave, kind, and full of justice.
"Eve, do you remember what happened?"
Li Wei looked at her curiously.
He had no idea how the system had done it. She had clearly been created, yet she possessed memories.
For example, 2B remembered the affairs of YoRHa.
"Hmm!"
Eve rubbed her forehead and said, "Our Seventh Airborne Squad landed on Earth. I was just about to destroy the Naytiba!"
The world of Stellar Blade was equally tragic.
Pure-blooded humans had basically been wiped out, all because of the artificial intelligence known as Mother Sphere.
Mother Sphere had created the New Humans, so naturally, it had to eliminate the old humans.
But humanity had been unwilling to be wiped out just like that, so it had relied on technology to turn itself into monsters—the Naytiba.
But even then, they were still no match for Mother Sphere.
Thus, Eve believed that she was a true human, not an android.
In the game, when they learned that they were androids, they had nearly suffered emotional breakdowns.
Therefore, Li Wei didn't bring up the matter. Instead, he said, "It's all right now. There are no Naytiba in this world."
But those words only left Eve stunned. She murmured to Li Wei, "If there are no Naytiba, then what is the meaning of my existence?"
The Airborne Squad had all been created by Mother Sphere. Eve's purpose in existing was to eliminate the Naytiba.
Now that there were no Naytiba, she lost the meaning of life for a moment.
Li Wei came over and put an arm around her. "Then protect me."
"Mm!"
Light returned to Eve's eyes as she found her purpose once more.
