Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Chapter 29, oh my god, that's shocking!

what?

eat?

Upon hearing Ella's question mark, the old pope wondered if he was hard of hearing.

Despite his gray beard, he is kind and gentle.

It's no problem to kill a Void Demon that has been troubling Paradise Island for a long time with just one hand.

"You mean..."

"Can I eat this crown and this church?"

Ella asked again, "Perhaps the church is easier to understand than the tower."

But that's not what the old pope couldn't understand.

Eat...eat eat eat...

You said you were going to eat these things made of metal?

Tan Lu, who was listening in, really wanted to come up and touch Ella's forehead.

Is this kid out of his mind?

She looks so young, there should still be hope, right?

What exactly did An Ran teach her?

“Child, these things are not to be eaten,” the old pope said.

"Huh, can't I eat it?" Ella blinked. "Then I won't be the Pope of the Holy See anymore."

I won't do anything that doesn't bring me any benefit.

"..."

The old pope was somewhat depressed.

But he couldn't give up this opportunity.

As a kind-hearted man, he decided to persuade Ella to change her mind. If that didn't work, he would tie Ella to the position of the next pope, even if it meant for the sake of the "future" of the Papacy.

Within the Mechanical Papacy, Tan He, who single-handedly founded the Papacy, is supreme.

His words were divine pronouncements.

The old pope felt that his first priority should be to correct the little girl's misconceptions and help her rebuild her life.

“Child, what I mean by ‘cannot eat’ is not the kind of ‘cannot eat’ you think it is. It’s not that I don’t want to give it to you, but that normal people cannot eat it,” the old pope said. “To put it simply, eating this might kill a person, and these two things cannot be used to fill the stomach.”

"..."

Are you rapping?

Tan Lu felt she should also express her opinion, after all, this was a major matter concerning the future of the Holy See.

“As long as Ella is willing to become the next pope, you can eat whatever you want,” Tan Lu said.

"Oh, really? Then can I eat this crown and this church?"

I……

Looking at Ella's serious expression, Tan Lusuo didn't say anything.

She felt that she should go back and relearn Chinese.

"Child, you can't eat metal." The old pope was at his wit's end.

How was this child raised?

"But metal really can be eaten."

Ella touched herself.

Okay, she's finished all the snacks, and she's even eaten the piece of wall that Tan Lu smashed down. She's just missing a few props for her performance.

Although local materials can be used.

For example, this crown in my hand...

But Ella was afraid of getting beaten up.

An Ran isn't here, so she can't be saved.

If we were to choose another location, the closest one would be Tan He's statue.

This is not a good idea.

"Why don't you give me some pieces of metal?" Ella pleaded.

No, that won't do.

The old pope shook his head: "It's alright if you don't agree for now. How about this, you stay in the church for now, and let Tan Lu show you around. I think you'll like it here."

He meant that a young child like Ella might fall in love with the church after seeing all the dazzling technology inside.

However, the old pope was still wrong.

Ella has always liked this place.

But she didn't like going there; she liked eating there.

Both the crown and the church were made of better quality metal than the food Anran had given her before.

Although she's a foodie, Ella is a civilized one.

If they are wild-caught and free-range.

I reckon Ella would have turned into a big demon king who steals metal to eat by now.

I'm really craving something sweet.

Ella felt she could still try.

If they're unwilling to give it to you, then take it yourself.

If I get yelled at, I can just pay them to fix it later.

As long as Anran arrives, there will be money.

"Eat less, I don't have much money left," An Ran said.

This wasn't just her making things up; Dolphin Star's factory was operating at full capacity recently, and An Ran really didn't have much cash left.

This metal looks very expensive.

Ella walked toward the edge of the room.

"What is this...?" The old pope looked puzzled.

Tan Lu was initially puzzled, but she quickly thought of the walls in her own home.

"Your Holiness, she's going to demolish it..."

拆？

What are you demolishing?

Before Tan Lu could finish speaking, Ella had already walked to the wall.

There's nothing to hesitate about anymore.

Like Anran, Ella prefers to let her actions speak for themselves.

She poked a hole in the wall of the room with her right hand.

It has to be said that the metal quality is high enough that even with Ella's current level 90+ stats, she can't just take a piece off of it all at once.

It took a few seconds for a smooth, round hole the size of a fist to appear on the wall after it dissolved.

Its small body blocked most of the view from directly behind it.

But the puzzled old pope had already moved to the side.

He did not stop Ella.

Therefore, I witnessed this unbelievable scene in its entirety.

Cutting metal with bare hands?

The old pope was no ordinary "old geezer"; he knew very well that there was no high temperature or high frequency oscillation energy in Ella's hands.

That's why Ella's actions are even more frightening.

It's easier and simpler than taking a piece out of a pile of clay.

"How...how is this possible?"

Am I seeing things?

The two men beside the Pope stood stiffly, craning their necks forward as they tried to see the metal in Ella's hand more clearly, feeling more and more like they were dreaming.

Tan Lu, whom I had seen before, wasn't much better.

She thought Ella would punch a piece of metal off, performing a kind of violent art.

But now, this gentle approach has had a greater impact on her.

"What kind of ability is this?"

More frightening than mere power is the mystery and the unknown.

Tan Lu thought... she just couldn't understand it at all; her mind was completely blank.

The old pope felt as if he had activated his imperial engine, his heart pounding wildly.

My breathing started to become rapid.

They were able to easily remove the crown and just as easily make a small hole in the church wall.

what is this?
