The Man's Wardrobe

It was exploding!

The hype was exploding!

It was already nighttime. Li Wei sat at home, feeling Reputation Points rain down from the sky!

In such a short time, he had already gained over ten million Reputation Points.

He could buy himself a wife!

This wave of hype was mainly because of the octagon cage.

As for Martin Li being Mr. Negative, aside from New Yorkers showing a little interest, people elsewhere did not really care.

A New York philanthropist? What did that have to do with them?

Weren't capitalists all bloodsuckers?

The reason the hype had become so outrageous was that Tony Stark had responded.

This time, he had not called reporters. Instead, he posted photos and videos of himself practicing boxing on social media.

The caption read, "Come at me if you've got the guts!"

That immediately prompted media outlets everywhere to repost it and rush to report it as news.

For all those media outlets, it had been a long time since they had gotten such explosive news.

For media outlets that had to create news even when there was none, this felt incredible.

So they all added fuel to the flames, hoping the hype would grow even bigger.

As a result, Li Wei and Tony Stark's names appeared across every section.

Li Wei's Reputation Points kept climbing without pause.

"If they actually fight, how huge will the hype be?"

Li Wei muttered as he opened the system.

His Reputation Points had passed ten million. He had to buy a wife!

Li Wei had been thinking about this constantly. He really had stayed true to his original aspiration.

He was very interested in androids now!

The villa was so large, yet with only him and 2B in it, it felt empty.

Of course, the main reason was that ten million Reputation Points could not buy anything else...

Li Wei also wanted to buy the pharmaceutical technology from Lucy and Limitless, but he could not afford it!

He had noticed that technologies in the system shop that directly enhanced a person's abilities were far more expensive than indirect technologies.

So there was nothing to hesitate over.

[7th Airborne Squad Eve Blueprint (Stellar Blade)] Purchase successful!

Stellar Blade was considered "a man's wardrobe."

The game's more than one hundred outfits made it endlessly replayable.

At least, Li Wei really wanted to recreate them.

Of course, Eve herself was also very powerful.

Like 2B, she was an android. But due to Mother Sphere's technology, Eve was incredibly powerful.

She had been created from a mixture of flesh and machinery. She could move freely through space and the deep sea without needing any protection!

That was why Mother Sphere considered her a "New Human."

Li Wei looked at the blueprint.

[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 electrical power...]

[Once created, she will completely obey the host.]

Fortunately, the process did not require flesh.

And finally, she was not a three-hundred-pound young lady.

Perhaps it was because Eve still had flesh on her body.

After all, she was not a completely mechanical "unit."

"Create her."

[Creation in progress. Please wait...]

With his previous experience, Li Wei had already prepared the materials. He lay down in the room.

He did not waste the waiting time.

He still had Reputation Points!

He could finally do a ten-pull.

"Start the ten-pull!"

He was filled with excitement. He had not even been this excited when buying Eve's blueprint...

Because that had been known, while this was unknown.

Everyone had more or less the mindset of a gambler.

As the saying went, give it a shot and a bicycle might become a motorcycle.

"Give me something good!"

The ten-pull flew out at once, all kinds of light filling Li Wei's vision.

[Congratulations on your ten-pull. You have received the following rewards.]

[Tear of the Ocean: Jewelry. Wearing it will make you look better.]

[Golden Heart...]

[Crystal Tear...]

Li Wei nearly coughed up blood. Why was it all jewelry?!

Was he really from Africa?

[Fusion Battery: Can be used to provide energy.]

[JAR-5 Dominator Blueprint: A grenade weapon with strong armor-piercing capabilities!]

The ten-pull was almost over, and he had finally gotten something good.

A weapon blueprint was still useful. After all, weapons were what made money in America...

Unfortunately, the Fusion Battery did not come with a blueprint. Otherwise, he really wanted to know how it compared with Tony Stark's nuclear reactor.

Li Wei pulled himself together and looked at the guaranteed "gold card" from the ten-pull.

A blueprint slowly appeared before his eyes.

"A blueprint!"

Li Wei's spirits rose.

[Bumblebee Blueprint (Transformers): A loyal companion, a friend who will never betray you. Autobots, roll out!]

"Ahhhhh!"

Li Wei let out a battle cry.

"Who said I was unlucky? I'm blessed by luck!"

He stared at Bumblebee's blueprint excitedly.

This was Bumblebee!

What was a Maybach? Get lost!

[Height: 5 m.]

[Weight: 1000 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 in the materials.

He had not expected to pull Bumblebee!

Just after he finished speaking to Red Queen, he saw the glowing mass before him begin to take human form.

First came a pair of perfect long legs, followed by subtly forward-leaning curves. That had clearly been intentional in the design...

She had a sleek black high ponytail and deep eyes. She had initially been completely bare, but a green skintight nanosuit quickly appeared over her body.

She first looked around in slight confusion, then fixed her gaze on Li Wei.

Unlike 2B, she was not overly excited. Instead, she asked gently, "M-Master?"

That made Li Wei breathe a sigh of relief.

Eve had a great deal of personality, after all.

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 did it. She had clearly been created, yet she possessed memories.

For example, 2B remembered matters concerning YoRHa.

"Mm!"

Eve touched her forehead, then said, "Our Seventh Airborne Squad landed on Earth. I was preparing to eliminate the Naytiba!"

The world of Stellar Blade was equally miserable.

Pureblood humans had basically been wiped out, all because of the artificial intelligence known as Mother Sphere.

Mother Sphere had created New Humans, so naturally it wanted to eliminate the old humans.

But humanity was unwilling to be wiped out like that, so they used technology to turn themselves into monsters—the Naytiba.

Yet even then, they were still no match for Mother Sphere.

That was why Eve believed herself to be a true human, not some android.

In the game, when they learned they were androids, they nearly suffered emotional breakdowns.

So Li Wei did not bring it up. Instead, he said, "It's all right now. There are no Naytiba in this world."

But those words made Eve freeze instead. She softly asked Li Wei, "If there are no Naytiba, then what is the meaning of my existence?"

The Airborne Squads had all been created by Mother Sphere. Eve's purpose in existing was to eliminate the Naytiba.

Now that there were no Naytiba, she had suddenly lost the meaning of her life.

Li Wei walked over, wrapped an arm around her, and said, "Then protect me."

"Mm!"

Light returned to Eve's eyes as she found a new purpose.
