Chapter 8, Noises in the Dream

When Elizabeth stood up again, she had truly and completely merged with the steel; all the nanobiomechanical components originally installed in her body had now genuinely integrated with her, including the quantum mainframe.

However, this time, there is a slight difference

Take it upstairs and put it away

Then, lock the shop door, walk to the counter, and pick up the phone

"Where did it go?" He scratched his head, "Could it be that I didn't bring it upstairs? No, I clearly remember bringing it up!"

It is time to strike back and let the Golden Warriors witness the wrath of the Avengers

However, he completely forgot that the green crystal he had originally placed in the corner of the sofa had vanished without a trace

Thus, the world became tranquil

Picking up the phone from the sofa, Ling Ping'an glanced at the screen and saw a message

... ...

Ultimately, the great spirit of the myriad machines will descend upon this universe

Oh! Ling Ping'an suddenly looked towards the sofa

This dream, he has had since childhood.

Isn't the game fun?

More is better, and bigger is beautiful

The bell tolls twice, the button is pressed, the engine ignites, and the turbine ignites

However, all these difficulties cannot hinder Ling Ping'an's journey to ascend in rank

But he has already gotten used to it

As the enemy's crystal shattered, a flash of golden light passed through the mobile phone screen

"I am awesome!" He happily picked up the drink placed on the sofa and downed it in one go: "The noobs in the canyon better watch out!"

The great will descends from the void, gazing upon this tragic world

Thus, he simply drifts back and forth in the chaos of his dreams

The artistic style of the canyon is no different from usual

However, that gemstone vanished without a trace

He quickly fell into a deep sleep

The will of steel emerges from Elizabeth

After some thought, he looked at the ring placed in the drawer and the object resembling a piece of blue crystal, and said: "It might be a valuable item..."

The current time is 3:12 PM on April 14, 102 of the Void Era

He is already confident in breaking into the legendary strongest king tier, making the warriors of the canyon submit at his feet

As expected, it did not go beyond her anticipation

She knows that she has become a steel nun, a mechanical evangelist

The armor on her body flowed gradually with the incantation, merging together like water

merely a rigid tool

Since falling into the Silver rank and rapidly plunging into the depths of Bronze, several days have passed

Ling Ping'an walked back into the store and pulled down the rolling shutter

"So comfortable!" he said, as he opened a can of beverage and gulped down several mouthfuls with great satisfaction

You are the master who forges all things, and also the apocalypse that destroys everything

Sometimes, one may not dream even once in a year, but at other times, dreams may occur consecutively

The scholars of Zu'an University and the filial sons of the Federation never miss a game.

Aunt: Hello, Ping An. The girl I introduced to you last time said you haven't added her yet. What happened?

That ring table remains in its original place

I estimate that I will have to compensate them

The mechanical will has already permeated the data within the main brain

Expel all evil deities completely

"When did I enter the mist?" Elizabeth asked again

He floated in his dream, not knowing how long he had been drifting. Suddenly, a series of piercing sounds from the suona and the cacophony of instruments reached his ears

However, he did not think too much; he simply put down his phone and lay back on the sofa: "I stayed up all night yesterday, so today is just right for a nap"

The bell tolls three times

Usually, he just needs to drift and float until he wakes up naturally

She understood her mission—to establish the Mechanical Temple, to construct the Iron Altar, and to spread the gospel of machinery and steel to the world

True machinery is by no means rigid or unfeeling

I feel that tonight I will surely break through the unyielding silver rank and step into the glorious gold rank

Suddenly, Ling Ping'an scratched his head and said, "Why is this drink so spicy!"

Blood and flesh are pumped into it, generating an immense power

The chest and abdomen feel fiery hot

She extended her hand, the silvery steel skin shining brilliantly under the pale, cold sunlight.

Evaporate! Burn! Forge!

The great spirit of all things has already bestowed its favor upon her

Watching the figure of the foreign woman disappear into the mist

"Once again, I had this dream!" Ling Ping'an sighed

Flesh and blood are frail, but steel is eternal

Just listening to it is enough to make one feel agitated and irritable. Instinctively, Ling Ping'an cursed, "What the hell are you blowing about!"

Is writing still not enjoyable?

Ling Ping'an finds it difficult to understand this dream

He feels as if he is somewhat intoxicated

Mainframe! She inquired: "Flesh is weak and suffering, steel is eternal!"

Over the years, he has adapted

Everything in the dream is so chaotic, with only darkness and nothingness before my eyes

He hurriedly picked up the already deflated soda can from the glass table, but no matter how he looked around, he could not find the crystal.

I do not know how much that crystal is worth

Carrying those two items, he returned upstairs, turned on the light, and Ling Ping'an, as usual, collapsed onto the soft sofa

The mechanized mind is being dismantled at this moment

What replaces it is a completely new power

Eternal steel has granted the mainframe its own will

Why burden yourself with worries, ending up in your twenties just like those of the same age, with a child in each hand

Flesh and blood are frail, but steel is eternal

With a gentle grip, the steel arm transformed back into flesh and blood

Let's play games

And he has also awakened

He recalled that last night, he had collapsed onto the sofa after going upstairs, battling in the canyon while casually drinking a can of soda

Step out of the fog

After several days of decline, he finally made a comeback, returning to the peak and glory of the past

but rather absolute materialism, absolute rationality, absolute reason

Your king has returned

Ling Ping'an has officially entered the Glory Gold rank

Put the mobile phone into the crotch of the pants

As expected

He yawned, picked up the bottle of beverage, and looked at it in front of him: "It's soda, not alcohol..."

She knelt down, facing the mist, and loudly recited the hymn of the Mechanical Deity: "Ring the great bell once, push the lever, activate the piston and the engine ... ... "

Crystal clear and as white as jade

Arranged dating and the like... is too troublesome

She raised the "Mechanical Gospel" high in her hands, feeling the rhythm of steel and the roar of engines emanating from the book

With Elizabeth's smile, a series of nanobiochemical machines began to emerge from within her body, covering her form.

Elizabeth trembled as she praised: "O great spirit of all things!"

"Good!" Elizabeth laughed.

Yet the result yielded not even a shadow of the crystal

Ruins and hills reappear before my eyes

Are you willing to embark with me on the path of spreading the eternal way of steel

Let us sing praises together

It will also bring true truth to the universe

The mechanical clock chimed within her body

Flesh and blood are frail, while steel is eternal

April 14, 102 of the Void Era, at 3:11 PM

However, petty theft has always been difficult to guard against

... ...

At that time

Ling Ping'an immediately became anxious, searching both inside and outside the sofa for a long time.

It seems that the crystal was once placed together with a soda can

This is terrible

After a brief pause, the voice of the mainframe echoed in Elizabeth's mind

Everything in the dream is so silent and dark. His body, like a feather dancing in the wind, is light enough to float anywhere

But Elizabeth knew that now, it was no longer the same mastermind as before

The public security in the federal territory has always been very good

The canyon tonight is destined for blood and stormy winds

Whispers in the ear directly reach the brain

In the event that someone makes an exorbitant demand

Shut up

The entire person also seems to be somewhat drowsy

There are already cars driving on the road downstairs

Elizabeth suddenly looked up

The quantum master brain located beneath the frontal lobe was originally a tool for the mass production and installation of doomsday fortresses

Thus, the young bookstore owner became increasingly worried

Ling Ping'an glanced over and quickly pretended not to see.

Holding tightly the "Mechanical Gospel" in her hands, Elizabeth issued a command to the mainframe: "Mainframe, correct the time!"

The miniature fusion reactor installed in the body begins to dissolve, slowly transforming into an ancient, outdated yet powerful steam turbine

He tossed aside the unknown blue crystal along with the ring and took out his phone, plunging into the canyon

The sound of the suona is quite peculiar, more unpleasant than any noise.

In her hands, the mechanical gospel automatically opened.

The cacophony of instruments resembled a DJ frantically mixing tracks in a nightclub.

It is already morning! He opened his eyes, and the morning sunlight fell from the windowsill onto the balcony

From this point on, flesh and blood are as steel, and steel is as flesh and blood
