Who says a sickly daughter can’t break through the weirdness?

This woman's expression didn't change even when she lied, and that smile was almost glued to her face.

Forget it, Arcana Death, although this card has a bad meaning, the other party is actually my "assistant", no matter whether she was a national agent or a bandit in the past, as long as she does not pose a threat to me, it's fine.

In addition, what Shen Qiyin is most interested in about Kana is her abilities.

Kana claims to have the ability of "language control", which can make everything obey her commands, just like a more advanced subconscious hypnosis, or mind control similar to Yuri's.

Haha, purple hair, purple eyes, purple stockings, white shirt and black boots, and the ability they possess is the beggar version of "Word Spirit Technique". I can only say that the sisters have really become Kafka's reincarnation in another world.

By the time all the materials were collected, it was already dusk.

In addition to humanoid industrial robot arms and advanced suspension systems, the materials collected by Shen Qiyin also include automobile anti-collision beams, magnetorheological fluid hydraulic rods, a bunch of turbocharger centrifugal compressors, vehicle-mounted medical-grade air-conditioning filters and other miscellaneous things.

Since we are here now, we should take these things first, no matter whether they are useful or not, and then go back to ask Tang Miao if he can use them.

What if it works in unexpected places?

The only trouble now is how to take them all away.

This pile of things has become as high as a small mountain, and the level of the skill "Borrow a Hand from the Cat" is only 1. The independent space provided by mona is not very large, currently only about five or six cubic meters, and it is impossible to hold so many things.

Without a truck, it would be impossible to transport such a large pile of things back.

But it just so happens that what car manufacturers lack the least is trucks.

......

Not long after returning to the B&B, the last ray of light of the day was swallowed up by the darkness, and the fog descended like a shadow, completely covering the entire earth.

Tang Miao watched "home" for a whole day and finally waited for Shen Qinyin to come back, but when he saw Kana, the sky fell on him.

Why is there another woman?!

And she’s such a beautiful woman!

Purple hair, purple eyes, purple stockings, sister, what game character are you cosplaying?

What made Tang Miao most nervous was that this woman looked frivolous and kept flirting with Shen Qinyin. The intimate words that he usually had to think carefully about before speaking, she could blurt out as easily as eating or drinking water.

This isn't good...

After having a quick dinner, Shen Qinyin carried a bunch of things into the garage next to the B&B residential area.

Her room is too small, and a living room would disturb other people. The garage has a large space and is very convenient for assembling or modifying power armor.

First, she wanted to try whether these things of hers could pass the "judgment" of the notebook and be integrated into her power armor as upgrade materials.

She knocked on the armored chest plate, and Mona immediately broke away from the power armor as if she had telepathic communication with her, transformed into a black cat again, and jumped onto Shen Qinyin's shoulder.

It yawned like an ordinary cat, as if to express its tiredness. Shen Qiyin naturally also noticed Mona's weakness.

The power armor without mona's "enchantment" instantly returned to its original old appearance, completely losing its one-on-a-hundred-person-versus-one-army momentum as it did during the day.

Shen Qinyin stroked her chin, looking thoughtful.

Although the little mona can temporarily increase the defense and flexibility of the power armor, it also consumes a lot of energy for it.

Especially when under attack, the mona attached to the surface of the armor will be the first to be impacted, so in a disguised sense, it is actually the mona that bears the damage for the armor.

Due to the characteristics of its species, mona, like those strange beasts, has no sense of "pain", and it has extremely strong self-healing ability. After being injured by the Ender Ghost last night, it just lay down for a while and then became lively again.

It's simply a natural meat shield system.

But Shen Qiyin couldn't bear to use Mona as a meat shield all the time. What's more, Mona had so many supermodel abilities that it would be a waste of talent to use it as a meat shield.

Improving the strength of the power armor earlier will definitely bring much higher cost-effectiveness than using mona as a meat shield.

Shen Qiyin placed the two bionic robot arms removed from the assembly line on both sides of the power armor one after another, ensuring that the three formed a whole, and then put her fingers on it.

After a while, the reminder from the notebook sounded in my mind -

[Would you like to spend 200 Desire Stones to upgrade the "Old Power Armor" to "Bionic Joint Power Armor"?]

Huh? Only 200? So cheap?

Shen Qiyin didn't hesitate for even a second and immediately chose yes.

As a familiar light flashed, the two arms of the power armor took on a new look.

Compared with the previous one, the appearance has not changed much except that it is coated with a layer of white paint. However, after Shen Qinyin tried it, she was immediately surprised to find that the powered arm with bionic joints was obviously much more flexible than the previous arm.

Precisely because of its greater flexibility, power armor can perform more difficult movements.

Just as Shen Qiyin was debugging the power armor, someone suddenly knocked on the garage door.

Then, Tang Miao's voice came: "Qiyin, are you in there? Can I come in?"

"Sure, come in, I was just about to call you."

Shen Qinyin readily agreed to the other party's request, got out of the power armor, and slowly floated to the chair next to her and sat down.

As the door opened and closed, Tang Miao appeared in front of Shen Qinyin with a serious face.

"Huh? What are you doing?" Shen Qiyin looked at the other person's face, which looked as if he was facing a great enemy, and felt a little funny. "If I hadn't sensed the threat, I would have thought the B&B was attacked. What the hell is that expression on your face?"

"Qiyin! Let me tell you..." Tang Miao quickly walked over to sit next to Shen Qiyin, leaned close to her ear, and whispered in a low voice, "There's definitely something wrong with that woman named Kana!!"

"Kana? Have you talked to her?"

"Scare! I don't dare deal with that woman! She always looks at people in a weird way. When she stares at me, I get goosebumps!"

Tang Miao hugged his shoulders and scratched them twice, making a very exaggerated movement.

Shen Qiyin smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. She has no ill will towards us. Maybe she will become a very reliable companion of ours in the future."

"Ah? You mean she just joined the gang? Oh my God, Qiyin, don't tease me, that woman is obviously full of bad intentions! For example, when we were eating just now, she used the excuse of asking for an apple, but deliberately touched your hand!

Oh, and she was standing behind you just now, saying that your hair was dusty and wanted to help you clean it up...”

"Hmm? These are just normal interactions, right?"

"That's not normal! That's not normal at all! Do I need to stick my whole body to your back to remove the dust from your hair? Do I need to breathe on your neck to talk to you?

Her lips are almost touching your ear, that damn purple-haired woman, if we weren't there, she would have kissed you directly!"

Shen Qiyin tilted her head. Tang Miao's expression made her feel a little funny: "Tang Miao, don't get excited. It's not as ambiguous as you said, right?"

"Not yet?" Tang Miao suddenly raised his voice, knocking on the armrest of the chair angrily. "She touches your hand under the pretext of eating, then drinks from the cup you drank from, and even specifically touches the part of your hand that your lips touched! It's not normal no matter how you look at it, is it?"

"..."

Shen Qiyin's face was embarrassed, and the corners of her eyes twitched uncontrollably. She looked at Tang Miao with a strange and nervous look in her eyes: "You, you are observing too carefully, aren't you? Compared to her, I suddenly feel that you are more terrifying..."

"No way!" Tang Miao pouted and glared at Shen Qiyin. "Anyone could see that, right? It's all because you, Qiyin, were so focused on modifying the mecha that you ignored that woman's dirty, indecent! Indecent!!... little actions!"

"Uh, Tang Miao, I think..."

"No, I don't want you to think so. I want me to think that woman has bad intentions! She's full of evil! She's just a bad woman!"

At this point, Tang Miao suddenly turned around and held Shen Qiyin's hands, as if to pour every word he said into her head, and pronounced each word very hard:

"Qiyin, listen to me. You are still young and don't know the dangers of this society. You must not be deceived by that evil woman!!"

Shen Qiyin stared straight into Tang Miao's eyes. After a moment's silence, she suddenly let out a hearty laugh: "Ha, haha~ How interesting."

"What's so interesting? Damn it, don't ignore what I say!"

"Tang Miao, you look like a jealous girlfriend right now."

"what?!"

Tang Miao was like a robot with the pause button pressed. The hand holding Shen Qinyin suddenly began to vibrate at a high frequency, and even his upright little nose turned a playful red.

"Who is jealous?" Tang Miao hurriedly let go of Shen Qiyin's hand, jumped to the side, and said with a red face, "I am reminding you, reminding you! In the doomsday, people's hearts are not as good as they used to be. You have seen it along the way. The Doomsday Cult and the Order Gang, those guys are all first-class bad guys!

This woman is involved with the Order Gang. This alone is enough to show how dangerous she is! You must be careful and don't fall into the trap of that bad woman so easily! "

Shen Qiyin raised the corners of her mouth in amusement, straightened up, touched the other person's head, then floated to the side of the power armor and changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about these insignificant things. Help me research what other equipment can be used to upgrade this power armor?

Originally, I wanted to make a set for you and your sister, but I don’t know what went wrong, and you can’t control these things I made...”

Seeing that Shen Qinyin had diverted the topic away from him, Tang Miao couldn't help but puff up his cheeks and stamp his feet angrily, looking as if he was very disappointed in his child.

Forget it, Shen Qiyin is just a fool. She has no defense against these bad women. She has to do these things herself!

She shook off the messy thoughts in her mind, returned to Shen Qinyin, and started knocking on the armor.

"Hmm, can we actually upgrade with a bionic arm? Then we can try to optimize the tendon power and armor layer. Aluminum alloy, liquid metal, do you have any of these materials?"

"There are some, that should be enough..."

......

In the next two days, after a series of exploration and research, and after spending more than a thousand desire stones, Shen Qinyin finally made the rusty power armor look brand new.

The upgraded power armor not only has more powerful performance and stronger defense capabilities, but Shen Qinyin also transformed the turbocharger into a three-stage air compression purification system, used air conditioning filters to intercept particulate matter, injected engine coolant to achieve high-temperature sterilization, and obtained pure air through the hydrogen and oxygen separation membrane of the fuel cell to ensure air circulation inside the mecha.

The off-road vehicle's suspension system and magnetorheological fluid hydraulic rods have been moved to the legs of the power armor as a new skeletal system, which can provide the mecha with stronger shock absorption effect.

As for the outer shell armor itself, it uses metal materials such as anti-collision beams and aluminum alloys as raw materials to achieve the function of shrinking and strengthening when impacted, while dispersing the impact force to achieve maximum damage-bearing capacity.

The entire set of mecha cost Shen Qiyin more than two thousand Desire Stones, and now there are only 830 Desire Stones left in her "account".

However, she still had a lot of crystals that had not been converted. Among them, in addition to the crystals that Mona gave to Shen Qiyin after swallowing the Ender Ghost, there were also the crystals dropped by the four guys from the Order Gang.

The bald man's hardened crystal, the short and fat man's flesh and blood reconstructed crystal, the gloomy white-faced man's ability shielding and perception crystal, and the suit man Lin Ziren's mental distortion crystal.

The crystals of the first three were only worth 500 Desire Stones, but Lin Ziren's crystal was worth an astonishing 1200!

As for the Fear Core Crystal left by the Ender Ghost, its value is slightly less, only 300.

Such a difficult-to-deal-with level 3 monster, after being killed, the crystals absorbed and decomposed by mona are only worth 300. That's why monsters are really hated by everyone. They can't be killed and can't be killed. They pose a high threat but there is no reward for conquering them.

If all crystals are converted into desire stones, they can be converted into 3000 desire stones.

Then add the special bonus from Pope Arcana Lin Qiutang, and you can get an additional 40%. So the total is 4200 Desire Stones.

This is a pretty grand number.

To be honest, Shen Qinyin really wanted to spend all the more than 4000 desire stones to buy a super powerful exorcism item, and then go head-to-head with the entity of the Black Tide.

Unfortunately, this idea is very unrealistic. After all, no one knows where the Black Tide's main body is, and there is no certainty whether the Black Tide's main body can be completely killed. What if that thing keeps coming back like the fog? Wouldn't the Desire Stone be wasted?

What's more, Shen Qiyin couldn't be sure that her item worth 4000 desire stones could drive away the opponent.

The evil-suppressing bronze mirror made of 500 lust stones couldn't even last a minute against the Black Tide clone...

If she hadn't made the right bet at that time and the lurker hadn't crushed the other party to death, she would have died twice by now.

Hey, Lurker, where on earth have you been...

I miss you, prison door.

......

At the same time, in Huaibei Province, on the front line, inside the fortress of the headquarters.

Li Huaiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the military region, was standing in front of the window. Through the glass, his hawk-like eyes pierced through the darkness as he looked at the front line in the distance, where white flames were dotted sporadically.

He had a square face and a nose as straight as an over-forged iron bar. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes extended radially into his temples. Although he was about sixty years old, his temples were already gray. There was a centipede-like bullet mark on the right side of his forehead, which was shaved to the hairline, as if someone had branded his skull with a red-hot iron ruler.

"Knock knock knock."

As the knock on the door sounded, Li Huaiyuan said "come in" in a hoarse voice without turning his head.

"Commander, the results from the front are out."

The young officer, holding the secret order, reported meticulously, "It's consistent with the Central Special Investigation Team's speculation. Those things are gathering from all directions. Daluo Lake, located west of the Huaibei Province front, has shown extremely high pollution levels.

The Black Tide seems to be gathering its clones, intending to break through the Huaibei Province defenses in one fell swoop."

"I understand. Go get busy."

"... Commander, are we not going to come up with a countermeasure? Whether to fight or retreat, the Central Committee is still waiting for your response."

"I'll reply personally later. Go and cover for Xiao Zhou. He hasn't slept in two days."

"Yes!"

After the officer closed the door and left, Li Huaiyuan stood there for a long time before he sighed heavily.

Then, he glanced at the corner and said coldly to the guy standing there, "I have my own plans and I don't need you to interfere."

"Oh, your guidance? To me, you're just like those 'things'."

“I know what to do and what sacrifices to make.”

"Humans, indeed, have no value in survival..."
