Just a magical girl who picks up trash

After hearing what the other party said, Red Ponytail immediately looked around the girl in confusion and found that the girl was alone and seemed to have no companions.

By the way, Liuli was the name given to her by Hongmawei. Her original name (number) was XSZ12567. Because it was too troublesome, Hongmawei directly took the homophony of the last two numbers, which is 67·Liuli!

The girl called Liuli did not refute this. Rather, the faint emotions in her heart seemed to have aroused some curiosity about the name. Therefore, after confirming with the main brain, she finally decided on the name "Liuli".

"My teammate was attacked by the Silver Platinum ten minutes ago and has died. I'm currently preparing to return to the space station to rematch with teammates!"

She took out an energy source that was flickering with light blue light like a ball of light from the space box. It was the energy source that her teammate had given her before he died. However, her teammate was obviously not as lucky as her to be rescued when they were attacked at the beginning. Instead, they were pulled into the space crack by Baiyin and completely swallowed up.

Liuli, according to her mission, brought the opponent's energy source back to the space station. While recycling the energy source, she also matched her new teammates... This is the normal operation of the combat system.

"Oh, really... My condolences!"

Although it is known that mechanical life forms have relatively indifferent emotions, it must be hard to see comrades around you being devoured one after another, or even killing them with your own hands at times. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the emotions of combat-type mechanical bodies are deliberately weakened. After all, once they develop overly strong emotions, they may be unable to take action or be afraid of fighting, which is obviously not what the main brain wants to see.

"My condolences... Is this what it means for humans to grieve over the death of their loved ones? I don't have that feeling, and XSZ12511 and I weren't manufactured in the same factory, so we're not related!"

She showed a clear puzzlement at the red ponytail's comfort. After a moment of silence, the red ponytail said:

"But at least she is your comrade!"

"..."

This time, Liuli didn't say anything and seemed to agree with what Red Ponytail said.

"By the way... you just said you were going back to match up with teammates, right?"

After a moment of silence, the girl with red ponytail suddenly raised her head as if she had thought of something and asked.

"Yes, traveling alone is prohibited!"

To this, Liuli gave an affirmative answer.

"So what do you think of me?"

She suddenly volunteered:

"Don't be fooled by the fact that I'm not even as tall as your chest and I'm still a newcomer, but I'm a new type of machine, and my combat power is very strong!"

He swung the Emperor's Blazing Sword in his hand ostentatiously, and a bright flame flickered on it as if in response. Seeing this, Liuli tilted his head and replied calmly as always:

"Team formation requires system matching. This machine has no right to decide teammates!"

Their battle groups are all perfectly matched by the mastermind based on the most suitable fighting style and methods and other different situations. This can better ensure the smoothness of the battle and the success rate of self-protection when facing the silver. Therefore, in their "rules", there is obviously no such thing as forming a team on your own, which is a violation of the rules.

"Well~~ I guess so. Then...regarding my suggestion, could you please ask the Mastermind for me? I have a feeling it won't refuse..."

After all, I am an experimental machine and a very valuable existence. Although I am now fighting in the outer space combat system, Red Ponytail does not believe that the main brain will allow me to encounter danger... In this case, if I take the initiative to ask for a guard (comrade-in-arms), the other party should not refuse!

Although she didn't know why, she just had this kind of confidence inexplicably.

It is also worth mentioning that almost all mechanical life forms on the entire mechanical planet have a common connection network with the main brain, but she is the only one who does not have it. In other words, she can be said to be the only one on the entire mechanical planet who has no connection with the main brain at all and is not controlled by the main brain's rules.

"Perhaps they feel that being restricted will affect the growth of their relationship!"

This is how Red Ponytail analyzed this in his mind.

As expected, as she finished her words, Liuli directly informed the main brain of her "request". After a few seconds of silence, Liuli nodded to the red ponytail and said:

"The application has been accepted. From now on, codename JMQS001 will act with me. From now on, we are 'comrades'!"

She said so, and after a moment of confusion, she slowly stretched out her hand. Then she tilted her head as if she was a little curious about why she did this. Seeing this, the red ponytail girl immediately smiled and stretched out her hand to shake the other person's palm.

"Well, okay, let me introduce myself again. My name is Red Ponytail. Thank you for your guidance!"

"...Please give me some advice, Xiaobai!"

"...Wait, why do you know this nickname?"

"Isn't this the nickname you registered under?"

"No way! Qiqi you bastard!!!"

50. Accidentally became famous~

(Here’s the title. It’s about the next book after one of the two books is finished: “Even if I Become a Girl, I Will Never Be a Pet!” Xiaoyu’s old readers will understand, hehe~~)

All in all, a temporary two-person team was formed, and it seemed that Liuli's identity as Red Ponytail's "guard" was tacitly accepted. Therefore, after handing over the energy core, the space station immediately carried out a small upgrade and transformation on Liuli, and equipped him with some new weapons and equipment... In short, he was strengthened.

After doing all this, the two of them once again set foot in the cold universe, and began to search for and capture the silver tentacles in the space cracks and recover abandoned instruments and equipment such as space stations scattered in space.

During this period, they will inevitably encounter other teams, and at such times, the other party will always come over to exchange information or various resources with Liuli... By the way, almost every one of their machines will say hello to Red Ponytail and report their achievements.

Although no one knows why, it is obvious that her red ponytail is famous in this space because of it. According to Liuli's description, this seems to be something that the main brain did deliberately... So why did the main brain do this?

Red Ponytail couldn't figure it out, so she simply gave up thinking!

There is no unit to measure time in space, so after an unknown amount of time, which seemed to be quite a long time, as Red Ponytail continued to fight with the silver tentacles in the space cracks, he felt that his fighting style was becoming more and more proficient, and his cooperation with Liuli was getting better and better.

……

"Shua~~~"

The luster of the flame flashed in the dark and cold universe, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a sharp blade that slid across dozens of silver tentacles, cutting off their roots. Then, a petite girl with a pair of long red ponytails suddenly rushed out, and with a stretch of her left hand, a huge light net suddenly covered all the broken tentacles.

"Capture... Retrieve!"

After doing all this, the girl clapped her hands in satisfaction and prepared to put it into the space box. However, at this moment, a sudden wrinkle suddenly appeared less than two meters away from the back of her head. The next second, several silver-white spikes like sharp thorns pierced out directly from it, pointing directly at the vital parts behind the red ponytail.

Because the distance was too close and the speed was too fast, it was obviously too late to dodge, but the girl with red ponytail was not in a hurry at all. She just calmly put the silver liquid in her hand into the space box. On the other side, just as the sharp sword behind her was about to touch her within half a meter.

"咻咻咻~~~"

In space where sound cannot be transmitted, Red Ponytail clearly felt the sound of breaking wind passing by her ears. At the same moment, she saw that the silver-white sharp spike that was originally stabbing at her seemed to be twisted and bent directly towards her side.

“Swish, swish, swish~~”

At the same time, three white lights suddenly shot out from a distance in the shape of a triangle. They directly surrounded the red horsetail's body in three directions and directly blasted those curved sharp thorns into slag and dissipated them into the air.

"Hu~~"

Everything happened in one go. Just as the wrinkles disappeared along with the silver spikes, a silver-white light came flying from afar like a meteor in the next second. In the blink of an eye, it was next to the girl with red ponytail. Then, without thinking, he stretched out his hands and hugged her under the armpits and lifted her in front of him to the level of his eyes.

"Test results show... no infection; external examination shows... no damage; judgment shows... normal vital signs!"

After mumbling to herself and making such an electronic sound, Red Ponytail always felt as if she heard the other party sighing in relief?

Wait, is Liuli supposed to make this kind of sound?

She tilted her head and had such doubts in her mind. In fact, this kind of doubts obviously occurred to Red Ponytail more than once during this period of time, and the reason was very simple... it was because of Liuli in front of her.

"Liuli, you seem to be... becoming more and more emotional!"

Allowing the other party to hold her, Red Ponytail immediately tilted her head and sighed, but Liuli tilted her head in confusion:

"I didn't find any changes in my data!"

This was the conclusion she came to after a quick self-examination. However, this conclusion was clearly not credible to Red Ponytail. If you ask why...

"No change? Then here's the question... Do you think you would have wanted to hold me in your arms and play with my hair like a cat, so blatantly and naturally, a month ago?"

Ye Chen looked expressionlessly at Liuli, who was sitting on a meteorite behind him, holding him in his arms and constantly bending and twisting her twin ponytails, having a lot of fun. He said, "You have really changed. You are no longer the dull mecha girl I met before!"

Still expressionless though!

"..."

Then, once again, Red Ponytail's words were met with Liuli's silence... She had absolutely no awareness of her own changes. If she had to put it bluntly, it would probably be...

"This... feels good!"

He spoke calmly but with a bit of confusion about his true thoughts.

"Is that so? Fine, as long as you're happy!"

It is a good thing to be able to have feelings. After all, this is the purpose of being created. Therefore, looking at Liuli's obvious "growth", the girl with red ponytail nodded slightly.

After spending more than a month (approximately) together, the two have deepened their friendship. As far as Red Ponytail is concerned, it is not an exaggeration to say that Liuli is her best friend... Although sometimes she still thinks of a certain guardian who has disappeared since coming to outer space, it is obvious that at the moment Liuli is undoubtedly the closest person to her.

After a short rest, the two continued to move forward. There was still some progress left to complete the recorded mission. After experiencing various large and small battles for more than a month, as long as the final progress bar was completed, the two would deliberately obtain a temporary "right to rest" and return to the ground to live an ordinary life for a while.

To put it bluntly, it is a vacation system. Although Red Ponytail once complained that such a life was boring because of having nothing to do, now after experiencing battles of all sizes, being able to have a good rest... is obviously the best thing that can't be better.

Not to mention that he was not going alone, but Liuli was accompanying him.

51. Clearing out the Sand Bandits

Time: 7:20 am!

Ruins ID: 32581

Abandoned City Tasna!

The abandoned city located here is one of the resting places for scavengers, and it is also a supply station buried deep underground.

After all, the ruins are so vast that there are countless problems such as insufficient supplies or unexpected situations when exploring in such a place. In this case, the existence of a supply station can be said to be like a desert oasis.

Tasna is undoubtedly one of the countless supply stations built by the Scavengers' Alliance in the ruins. Although it is not the largest, it is obviously one of the very important facilities.

After all, in addition to providing supplies to the scavengers, the supply station itself must also have strong defenses against strange beasts and natural disasters, not to mention some cunning guys like bandits living in the ruins. Therefore, it is natural for powerful scavengers to be stationed there.

This supply station was once an excavated underground ruin. It only became a supply station after undergoing numerous renovations. Otherwise, it would have been an almost impossible task to open a supply station directly in the ruins.

Nowadays, this once not-so-famous supply station called Tasna has become the focus of attention of the entire continent in recent times. The reason is very simple: the venue of the upcoming Continental Alliance Conference was finally decided here after discussions among all parties.

Over the course of three days, delegations from various forces, large and small, came here one after another to stop, which caused this originally deserted supply station to gradually become lively during this period of time.

At the same time, with the arrival of one force after another, there was no need for anyone to organize them. They began to spontaneously form teams according to the rules of scavengers and began to hunt strange beasts and guard robots wandering in the desert. While strengthening the defense of this supply station, they silently waited for the start of the continental conference.

The meeting was not convened for a long time. In fact, only those forces that were relatively close could arrive within three days. After all, the ruins were vast and extremely dangerous. Generally speaking, it would take at least a week to arrive.

Of course, this is excluding those forces that are powerful enough to ignore the threat of the ruins.

There are three such forces in Tasna today... That's right, they are the ceremonial groups sent by the three most powerful forces on the continent today:

The first scavenger team of the Scavengers Alliance, the Dust Scavengers Team, and the third speaker of the Scavengers Alliance who is in charge of leading them: an old man with old looks but a pair of eyes sparkling with wisdom, and a group of figures with muscles bulging like granite, wearing thick armor, and holding various cutting-edge weapons!

Luo Luo, the master of Weiyang Tower, one of the twelve towers in Tianta City, and the ten-man team called the Assault Squad, the latest development of Tianta City. Each of them is dressed in pitch-black armor and exudes a cold aura like a sharp blade.

The two tower masters of Gemini, one of the Twelve Star Towers in the Demon Realm: a pair of smiling twin brothers, who are different from the high-tech ones around them in that they wear retro robes. While their bodies are full of aristocratic air, they also constantly emit the aura of a strong man, proving that they are not as harmless as they seem.

Behind them came the Magic Knights: a group of figures wearing medieval armor, their entire bodies including their faces were wrapped in it, and they stood there quietly like sculptures.

The three major forces each sent a team for this negotiation. Of course, the meeting will not start for the time being because the number of people has not yet reached the limit. Therefore, they gathered here at this time just for... well, some entertainment before the meeting, that is... about clearing out the surrounding sand bandits!

Sand bandits are a kind of desert bandits roaming around in the ruined desert. Some of them are magicians from the Demon Realm, some are psychics from Tianta City, and some are just ordinary scavengers. It's just that because these people have made big and small mistakes in certain things or are fugitives themselves, they have nowhere to go and finally choose to live as bandits in this ruined desert.

The sand bandits are undoubtedly unpopular with all forces on the mainland. After all, they will always suddenly appear to burn, kill and loot when you are doing business or passing by ruins on your way to a city. In fact, many forces have been affected by this, even Tianta City, the Demon Realm and the Scavengers.

After all, those who can defeat the sand bandits are tasks that the three major forces cannot tolerate. Not to mention that most of these people are cruel and ruthless, those who can survive in such a harsh environment as the ruins are undoubtedly the strongest among the strong.

They were like a group of mad dogs wandering in the ruins. Although they were not as mysterious and powerful as the Mirror Organization, they were also a very troublesome existence... Tianta City, the Demon Realm and the Scavengers Alliance had sent people to clear them out more than once, but in the end they would be broken up into pieces and fled, and then they would gather again not long after.

Of course, it is also because of their own scattered relationship. In fact, although the sand bandits are annoying, they do not pose much threat. Therefore, after the three major forces found that it was useless to clear them out, they symbolically issued a wanted order and began to turn a blind eye, allowing them to become a dark force in the ruins.

The sand bandits were obviously aware of the situation, so apart from robbing passing merchants or travelers, they did not engage in any extreme behavior. The two sides lived together in peace, although they were not in harmony.

However, that situation... obviously couldn't last long, because...

"According to intelligence, just two days after the announcement of the Hundred Races Conference was made, and just one day ago, the bandits in the ruins seem to have made significant movements. Bandits of all sizes are now gradually gathering together, seemingly preparing to form a similar alliance and participate in the Continental Conference, attempting to break into the top ranks of the continent!"

In a calm tone, Luo Luo spoke seriously about some of the information that Tianta City's Skynet had recently detected, and this was exactly the fundamental reason why they were preparing to encircle and suppress the sand bandits.

After all, with this kind of bandit-like obstruction... no one would actually allow them to unite and even attempt to join the regular divisions of power within the Continental Alliance... Who would give them the face?!

52. The Villain's Pride

A conference hall that looked extremely messy. The dim lights and the sunlight that continued to leak out from the blocked windows around it made the whole room look like it was filled with a kind of light-like horror. In this atmosphere, more than a dozen figures with various outfits, but each of them had a very Shamatte style, sat there, and behind each of them were seven or eight ferocious guards.

They are sand bandits, wandering among the ruins, making a living by robbing scavengers, passing merchant groups, psychics, magicians, and anyone who passes by the ruins. They are a profession that does not want to be seen in the light. Most of them came here because they broke the laws of some place and were regarded as fugitives, or because they were ostracized for various reasons, and spontaneously formed their own team.

Although all those present were bandits, they were obviously not members of one force. Bandits were just a name, and in the end, the number of bandits roaming around in this huge ruins was actually far more than anyone imagined. In addition, these people themselves were people who disregarded the law, so it was naturally impossible for them to work together.

The bandits scattered in the ruins have various teams of their own. Some of the thieves gangs are similar to mercenary groups and are distributed in their own territories. They usually do not interfere with each other. Occasionally, there will be some frictions, big or small, but most of them are for profit.

And it was these groups of sand bandits of varying sizes but as cunning as foxes that gathered here at this moment. In this seemingly dilapidated meeting room, they finally held a grand event attended by almost all the famous forces in the entire sand bandit world.

The title of this event is to interrupt the Continental Congress and make all forces on the continent recognize the existence of the Sand Bandits!

They are not just low-level ruin rats, but real ruin thieves!

That’s right, just like the Mirror Organization, they are basically a dark force and have their own reputation. Therefore, they are not the kind of existence that is ignored by major forces and is just a jumping clown that occasionally brings trouble. They are a real terrorist organization!
