Mechas Will Be the Next Big Trend; Even a Hero Can Be Stumped by a Penny
After reading the comments, Liu Yi immediately entered the System Store and saw that only the top-of-the-line mech priced at 10 million Energy Points remained; all other models were already sold out.
He paid for it immediately.
The next moment, a cool and extraordinary mecha painted in red appeared out of thin air before our eyes.
Startled by the sudden appearance of the mecha, Little Yellow stepped forward and asked:
"Master, what is this? It looks a bit like a mechanical puppet, but not quite."
"This is a newly launched mecha from the Puppet Sect; it can both enhance combat power and provide protection."
As Liu Yi spoke, he channeled energy into the mecha, and after connecting his Divine Sense with the mecha's AI, he commanded it to open the hatch and stepped inside.
The mech's hatch immediately closed, automatically adjusting its size to fit his body perfectly.
"Holy crap, it's incredibly intelligent! The Puppet Sect's technology is getting more and more outrageous!"
At this rate, it's possible that intelligent mechanical puppets could actually be created in the future.
I just hope it doesn't cause any major trouble.
He tried walking a few steps in place, then jumped lightly, and then completed a series of movements such as rolling and suspending. The whole routine was smooth and agile, without any sense of stiffness.
Little Yellow, watching from the side, had its eyes gleaming and was practically drooling. It muttered:
"That's so cool! I want a mecha too, but why isn't there a dog-shaped one?"
No, I need to contact the Puppet Sect to order a dog-shaped mecha, saying it's for my own spirit pet.
Liu Yi then tested the mecha's defensive capabilities and found that it was in no way inferior to High-Grade Spirit Artifact protective armor.
He stepped out of the mecha and put it into his Storage Space, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Mechs are likely to become the trend of the future, and will probably become standard equipment for cultivators in the future."
It has a huge advantage over protective armor, enhancing both attack and defense, and might even make protective armor obsolete in the future.
As times progress and technology evolves, those who fail to keep up will ultimately be left behind.
Little Yellow readily agreed, "If we don't strive for progress, the ships of the new era won't wait for the people of the old era; in the end, we'll only disappear into the waves."
It suddenly changed the subject, its eyes gleaming. "But this time the Puppet Sect really made a killing; this mech is a treasure trove."
My lending business is a million miles behind it.
It's true that the most lucrative jobs in the world are still those requiring technical skills. It's a pity I don't have that talent, otherwise I could have made a fortune too.
After saying that, he shook his head and sighed, then lay back in his rocking chair and started scrolling through videos on TikTok).
Liu Yi shook his head, ignoring Little Yellow, and lay back in his rocking chair to watch videos. Just as he was about to enter the system, he heard Little Yellow scream:
"Holy crap! Is Chen Jie trying to get ahead of himself? He's actually squatting outside the Demonic Flame Sect Sect's gate, broadcasting live his plan to kill the Holy Son Wang Zechuan."
Liu Yi was immediately shocked. "Is Chen Jie really that crazy? He dares to kill the Holy Son of the Demonic Flame Sect live for Energy Points?"
Aren't you afraid of being caught off guard and killed by a master from the Demonic Flame Sect?
"Little Yellow, quickly share his live stream with me. I want to see just how crazy he is, and whether he can successfully kill Wang Zechuan."
"Okay, Master, I'll send it to you right away," Little Yellow replied immediately.
Liu Yi entered the live stream and saw that Chen Jie was indeed guarding outside the Demonic Flame Sect's mountain gate, chanting in the live stream with his Divine Sense:
"I'm so bored waiting, when is Wang Zechuan finally coming out?"
If I were strong enough, I'd just rush in and kill him, to teach him a lesson he can't just eat whatever he wants and say whatever he wants.
Also, thank you everyone for the donations! Once Wang Zechuan appears, I'll give you all a show of tearing apart the Demonic Flame Sect with my bare hands!
Looking at Chen Jie's bright smile in the live stream, Liu Yi fell silent.
How did he, who was once so arrogant, become like this?
Where has the pride of being a time traveler and a powerful figure from a previous life gone?
And how come you're so skilled at using live-streaming scripts now?
His gaze swept over the occasional donations appearing in the live stream, and then he glanced at the number of viewers, which had reached 71.2 billion and was still rising over time.
Even a hero can be brought down by a penny.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jie also put aside his arrogance in the face of Energy Points and became kind and approachable.
Truly, life is unpredictable and the universe is unfathomable.
Liu Yi's gaze fell on the live stream chat, where various comments were scrolling incessantly:
"You're right outside the Demonic Flame Sect Sect's gates now, so be careful! If you're discovered, your life will be in danger."
"Chen Jie, hang in there! You've only been waiting for 12 days. You have over 70 billion system hosts with you, just waiting for you to livestream the killing of the Demonic Flame Sect's Holy Son."
Haha, Chen Jie, where's your arrogance?
Don't be a coward! Charge into the Demonic Flame Sect right now and take care of Wang Zechuan, and I'll reward you with 1 million Energy Points.
"The person upstairs is just stirring up trouble. Chen Jie may be arrogant, but he's not stupid. He wouldn't do something so suicidal."
"Does anyone know if Wang Zechuan is currently in the Demonic Flame Sect?"
"Apart from those within the Demonic Flame Sect, who could know Wang Zechuan's whereabouts?"
If a disciple of the Demonic Flame Sect is indeed bound to the system and discovers that Chen Jie is livestreaming his attempt to kill Wang Zechuan, then Chen Jie will be in serious danger.
"The Demonic Flame Sect acts with extreme cruelty and inhumanity, making it difficult for its disciples to bind to the system."
However, even if someone is indeed linked to him, they might not expose Chen Jie; they might even deliberately lure Wang Zechuan out.
After all, with Wang Zechuan dead, wouldn't they have a chance to rise to power?
"Haha, that's actually possible! It's just a pity that very few disciples of the Demonic Flame Sect can be bound to the Fairness System."
"Don't listen to their nonsense. Just stay here and wait for Wang Zechuan to come out, then kill him! I'll give you 100,000 Energy Points right now."
"Wang Zechuan also insulted Liu Yi, so why didn't Liu Yi come to ambush and kill him?"
"Haha, if Liu Yi also comes to stake out Wang Zechuan, that would be so interesting! I can't wait to think about it."
"Liu Yi is a man who appears and disappears like a dragon; who knows where he is? He might not even know that Wang Zechuan insulted him."
Even if Liu Yi knew, he wouldn't be as crazy as Chen Jie, who went straight to the Demonic Flame Sect's mountain gate to ambush and kill Wang Zechuan.
Liu Yi looked at the scrolling comments in the live stream and couldn't help but chuckle.
Although Wang Zechuan called him a piece of trash, he wasn't that idle; he specially went to guard the gate of the Demonic Flame Sect.
If I were to run into Wang Zechuan, I could just wipe him out; there's no need to stake out a spot specifically for him.
Upon seeing the notification of a 100,000 Energy Points donation suddenly appear in the live stream, Chen Jie immediately used his Divine Sense to express his gratitude in the live stream:
"Thank you very much, fellow Daoist ' Loyal Guard ', for the 100,000 Energy Points!"
"Don't worry, I will stay here and won't be reckless. As soon as Wang Zechuan shows up, I will kill him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly caught sight of three figures outside the Demonic Flame Sect's mountain gate.
The leader was none other than Wang Zechuan, the Holy Son of the Demonic Flame Sect Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, and judging from their postures, they were clearly Wang Zechuan's subordinates.
Chen Jie instantly perked up, revealing an excited expression, and shouted in the live broadcast room with his Divine Sense:
"Look everyone! Wang Zechuan is out! Once they're a bit further away from the Demonic Flame Sect Sect's gate, I'll follow them and make my move."
Otherwise, if we make a move too close to the mountain gate, it might attract the attention of the experts from the Demonic Flame Sect.
