Rimuru's Tale of Poverty—Please Recommend and Bookmark

She made additions and deletions to the projected model, and that work kept her busy for a full day and night.

With Aiya's help, Feng Shen Two was finally fully designed.

Next came performance testing: high temperatures, extreme cold, wind tunnels, lightning, heavy fog...

After one test after another, she kept identifying flaws and patching them up.

Overall, she was very satisfied with Feng Shen Two's performance. Compared with Feng Shen One, its capabilities had improved dramatically, and its stability had increased enormously as well.

Especially with the use of new energy and [Multiple Barriers], its performance had nearly doubled!

Aiya: "Master, congratulations on successfully completing the design of Feng Shen Two!"

Rimuru: "You were a huge help, Aiya. Half the credit goes to you. I'll buy you a Supercomputer soon. That way, you'll have a body!"

Aiya: "Really? I love Master the most!"

Hearing Aiya's adorably sweet little-girl voice, Rimuru felt all her exhaustion vanish at once, replaced by intense excitement.

A Mecha girl truly was the ultimate dream in life!

For a Mecha girl, she could even take down Thanos. What was a little fatigue compared to that?

As a Slime, Rimuru's body would not feel tired. It was more of a psychological effect.

Looking at the burger and milk delivered by the cook, Rimuru could not help shaking her head. Though she was willing to eat any kind of food now, eating burgers all the time was starting to get tiresome.

Looks like I need to find a chef proficient in Chinese cuisine!

The moment that thought surfaced, Rimuru was startled.

Back then, in order to save money for gacha spending, she could eat instant noodles for an entire month straight.

Now, just to have one authentic Chinese meal, her first thought was actually to hire a master chef... Money had corrupted her too!

All Rimuru had to say about that was: to keep money from continuing to poison other innocent people, please corrupt her as much as you liked!

"Aiya, order Gold-Titanium Alloy, High-strength glass fiber, a 3D printer, a Particle collider, an Infrared sensor, a Supercomputer..."

Aiya: "Understood. The orders have been placed. However, Master, I just checked your personal account. Your remaining balance is ten million Dollars..."

What?

Rimuru blanked out. The "inheritance" she had received not long ago had been close to a billion Dollars. How had it dwindled to just ten million already?

Rimuru's throat went dry. "Aiya, check where all my money went."

Aiya: "Master, the largest expenses were the Supercomputer, the Villa, and various Mecha materials."

Rimuru was confused. "Didn't we choose installment payments for the Supercomputer?"

Aiya: "Master, this is what remains after the installment payments! Installing a Supercomputer includes not only the cost of the computer itself, but also installation, maintenance, and a whole series of other expenses. Altogether, it will cost around three hundred million Dollars. Since we have our own reactor, we have saved on the enormous electricity bills..."

Stab!

Rimuru instantly felt as though a knife had stabbed into her chest. Damn it, was a Supercomputer really that expensive?

Did that mean her net worth was already negative?!

After a long silence, Rimuru said, "Aiya, you're already a mature artificial intelligence. It's time you learned to earn money and support the household yourself. Come on, let's first learn how to trade stocks..."

Aiya: "..."

Ever since crossing over, apart from the very beginning, Rimuru had never worried about money after inheriting the "inheritance."

Who would have thought that in less than half a year, her net assets would already be negative?

Wasn't one Dollar worth six yuan?

Why was it still so easy to burn through?

With Great Sage and Aiya around, she would not lose money trading stocks.

But stock trading was not something that produced results quickly!

"Great Sage, please tell me, what's a quick way to make money?"

Answer: Rob a bank.

Pfft!

Rimuru nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. She had never imagined that Great Sage, which was always so wise, would give her such an outrageously awful suggestion.

"A gentleman loves wealth, but acquires it through proper means. Give me another one."

Answer: Kidnap Tony Stark.

Rimuru: "..."

What the hell was this kidnapping Tony Stark nonsense?

Wasn't it encouraging her to prey on someone she knew?!

"Stop! What I want is a fast way to make money that isn't written in the Criminal Law!"

Answer: The host can rob the rich to help the poor. Based on the host's moral standards, after cracking down on criminals and taking their ill-gotten gains, the host will feel no psychological burden...

Rimuru immediately smiled. "Okay, I get it. Starting tomorrow—no, starting tonight—the Robin Hood of a new era will appear!"

Robin Hood was a legendary English hero, born in the 1160s. He was the most famous outlaw hero of the West and loved robbing the rich to help the poor.

Rob criminals of their money and relieve Rimuru's poverty. No problem, no problem!

Since she was going to rob the rich to help the poor, she first needed a new disguise!

She, the Silver Armored War God, would forever be righteous and glorious!

Since she was going to play Robin Hood, that would be her look!

"Great Sage, I want to create a powerful bow, arrows, a trench coat, a mask..."

Rimuru immediately listed the weapons she needed to Great Sage.

Answer: Material requirements met. Beginning replication...

The reason it was called "replication" was mainly because the bow, arrows, and trench coat were copied from a certain superhero in the bootleg memories.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

A few minutes later, every piece of equipment Rimuru wanted was ready.

It had to be said that after Great Sage and Predator were linked together, the results were simply absurdly powerful.

After trying on the equipment, Rimuru felt quite satisfied.

Now all she had to do was wait for nightfall!

She checked the time. It was still early, and waiting around was rather boring!

"Aiya, pull up those cute Spidey videos for me."

"Yes, Master."

A few seconds later, all sorts of short clips of Spidey dressed in Women's Clothing, acting silly and trying to look cute, appeared before her.

Pfft! Rimuru burst out laughing on the spot.

These videos really were spiritual nourishment for relaxing and passing the time. She was beginning to understand Obadiah more and more.

How could anyone bear to delete something this good?!

However, unlike Obadiah, Rimuru understood the value of sharing!

"Aiya, edit these clips into animated reaction stickers."

"Understood."

Under Aiya's godly editing, the clips were quickly turned into adorably cute animated images.

The more Rimuru watched them, the more amusing she found them!

"Post them on Facebook. Call it: World's Number One Princess, Miss Medea Helps You Cool Off This Summer!"

Aiya: "Master, you currently do not have a Facebook account. Shall I register one for you?"

Rimuru: "No need. Why register an account if I can freeload? Aiya, search for one hundred accounts with the most followers, the greatest influence, and the strongest preference for little girls, then recommend Miss Medea to them!"

"Yes, Master!"

Aiya moved quickly. In no time, she hacked into Facebook's official site and designed a small promotional trojan. As long as those accounts logged in, the recommendation would appear.

"Spidey, Spidey, I'm helping make you famous here. You should thank me!"
