Elizabeth watched the strange man gradually walk back to light from the dark abyss.

When he reappeared, the weirdo already had an extra book in his hand.

A book that appears to be wrapped in some kind of metal.

The cover of the book shook a little.

It seems that there are engines roaring and turbines burning.

Just looking at that book, Elizabeth felt inexplicably awe and admiration.

And these two emotions, she hasn't tasted for a long time.

She looked nervously at the stranger, walked up to her, and handed the book over.

…………………………

"Guest, this is the holy book of steel, the gospel of machinery!" Ling Ping'an smiled and handed the setting set in his hand to the fat sheep in front of him, and couldn't wait to sell it.

He knows very well and understands that players like this who are deeply involved in the game need to match their interests and preferences as much as possible.

Therefore, he also imitated the tone of discussion among "Stars" players on the forum as much as possible.

"Open it and you can see the truth!"

"Open it and a whole new world is right in front of you!"

"Turn it on, and the never-ending machine will take care of you!"

……………………………………

Elizabeth's biochemical nanocochlea reverberate with the demagogic language of the weirdos.

"This is the holy book of steel, the gospel of machinery!" In the grand divine words, the book was handed to Elizabeth, and a power that could not be refused made her involuntarily take the book.

Enter, it is a cold, brutal steel texture.

It's just the first touch.

Elizabeth was immersed in a world of steel.

The engine was roaring, the hydraulic press was forging, and the piping hot solution flowed out of the huge crucible.

It was a mechanical temple and a paradise.

The materialistic world.

Lowering her head, she saw the silver-white cover, flowing words like a steel solution, showing little by little on the cover, and at the same time, the name of the book was engraved in the depths of her brain, and even directly in the quantum master brain under the frontal lobe of the brain, leaving an imprint.

The Gospel of the Machine.

That's the name of the book.

"Open it and you can see the truth!"

"Open it and a whole new world is right in front of you!"

"Turn it on, and the never-ending machine will take care of you!"

The tone of the weirdo's voice continued to rise.

It's like the chant of an opera, full of inexplicable beauty and bewitchment.

Elizabeth simply couldn't control herself.

She shuddered and cautiously opened the cover.

Suddenly, her quantum mastermind began to overload wildly.

The biochemical mechanical parts of the body, which had long been dormant, were restarted one by one.

Each nano biochemical machine, as if it has intelligence, frantically transmits countless information back to the main brain.

The mastermind, on the other hand, seemed to have been invaded by something, and there was a moment of stuttering at that moment.

When the jam ended, the message to Elizabeth's brain was nothing more than a hymn of praise.

"Ring the bell once, push the lever, start the piston and engine!"

"Ring the bell twice, press the button, the engine ignition, ignite the turbine, and inject life into ......"

"Ring the bell three times ......"

"Praise in unison!"

"Praise to machinery, praise to steel!"

"O great spirit of all machines!"

"You are the Lord of all things and the Apocalypse that destroys everything!"

"More is good, big is beautiful!"

"Evaporate! Burn it! Cast it! ”

"Steel is eternal, machinery is eternal!"

In a trance, Elizabeth was robbed of all her wisdom.

In this great hymn, she surrendered completely.

For she knew that she had found the truth and known the true Savior.

That's the spirit of all machines.

Gods born in steel, immortal in machinery.

His heart is strong enough to accept all believers, and His power is supreme enough to shelter any believer!

He is one and ten thousand.

Yes and no!

Therefore, Elizabeth trembled, held the holy book in her hand, and said reverently: "Flesh and blood are weak, but steel is eternal!" ”

What a wonderful hymn.

What a holy salute!

………………………………

Ling Ping'an looked at the foreign woman holding "Stars: Ascension of the Machine Official Setting Collection" in front of him, and suddenly she was full of the oath of the middle two breath: "Flesh and blood are weak, steel is eternal!" ”

"Do you want to be so exaggerated?" Ling Ping'an couldn't help but complain in his heart: "It's just a game......"

But if you think about it, is there a problem with this world being so big?

Someone else's business, what does he do with so much?

Sell the book, make money, and eat an extra bowl of tofu brain tomorrow morning!

Ling Ping'an stepped forward and continued to flicker like a magic stick: "The way of steel is materialistic, because machinery is the truth!" ”

"Multi-steamed riveting just is it!"

"Nan Wu Gatling Bodhisattva is also it!"

"It is the Father, the Virgin, and the Holy Spirit!"

"Billions of turrets are its glory, and roaring engines are its sermons!"

"Let us walk in its path, as machinery walks on the earth, engines roar, steel melts!"

Not to mention, this trick is really useful.

The Gentile woman, just listening, began to tremble.

She seems to have gone deeper into the play.

Ling Ping'an looked very satisfied.

The customer is God, and the Gentile may need to spend more in the future.

Especially for the purpose of bringing more customers to consume.

Ling Ping'an said softly: "The gospel of machinery is not priceless, just like the roar of the engine and the start of the turbine, all need fuel!" ”

"So, boy, are you willing to pay the price to be enlightened by this gospel and blessed with steel?" In his opinion, this set of settings only sells for two hundred and twenty-five yuan, which is really a conscience price!

………………………………

"The way of steel is materialistic, for machinery is the truth......"

The strange man's voice, grand and eerie, reverberated directly in Elizabeth's cochlea, translating into a stream of information, being emitted from the quantum master's brain, and heard directly by her brain.

"It's Him!"

"Nam no Gatling Bodhisattva is also Him!"

"He is the Father, the Virgin, and the Holy Spirit!"

"Billions of turrets are His glory, and the roar of engines is His sermon!"

"Let us walk in His ways as machinery walks on the earth, with engines roaring and steel casting!"

The magnificent aria made Elizabeth completely fall and surrender.

The quantum mastermind and all the biochemical machines were completely conquered in this magnificent sermon.

This made Elizabeth, already a mechanical mind, excited again.

It's like a charged motor or a fuel-filled engine.

She trembled irresistibly and became excited.

At this moment, the voice of the strange man echoed in the cochlear implant again.

"The gospel of machinery is not priceless, just like the roar of the engine and the start of the turbine, all need fuel!"

"So...... Child, are you willing to pay the price to receive this mechanical gospel, the blessing of steel? ”

Elizabeth felt the voice transformed into a stream of information, she trembled and replied, "I do!" ”

"I'm willing to trade everything for it!"

Her hands clenched the gospel in her hands.

for indeed that is the true truth.

It is also the last hope of mankind.

So, she raised her head, like a chick looking at her own bird, and pleaded, "Please pass on this gospel to me!" ”

…………………………

"It's really deep in the play!" Ling Ping'an looked at the stranger in front of him and sighed.

Since the other party is so deep in the play.

Well, if you don't cooperate, it seems a little unreasonable.

So, Ling Ping'an smiled: "Child, if you want to receive this mechanical gospel and the blessing of steel, then you must sacrifice your most precious treasure!" ”

He chuckled and stretched out his hand: "Chenghui, two hundred and twenty-five yuan!" ”

…………………………

Look at the outstretched hand.

Elizabeth's quantum mastermind, crazy analysis.

"Benefit, two hundred and twenty-five yuan ......"

Yuan?

Money?!

Elizabeth looked at the strange man, at his head hidden in the mist, and in the dark eyes, a little spark, gradually brightened.

Her quantum mastermind immediately alarmed the police.

She finally knew that she was facing a life-or-death choice.

This strange man, who is likely to be the existence of an evil god among evil gods, has finally bared his fangs.

Past cases have proven that evil gods or similar beings who have come out of the void.

Their actions, their thinking, and their purpose and even their very existence.

All of them cannot be understood and cannot be interpreted by human beings.

Anyone who tries to understand them will have only one end - to be distorted by that crazy thought.

And for such an existence, will there be a need for money?

Or is the currency he wants as human beings understand it?

Clutching the mechanical gospel in her hand, Elizabeth gasped nervously.

At this moment, her quantum masterbrain suddenly transmitted a stream of information to the brain.

Elizabeth took a deep breath when she saw the flow of information, she had no choice but to accept the options given by the mastermind.

Because, at the very least, it's still a choice.

She took out the Evil God Crystal from herself.

Pale cyan spar, round and smooth, full of artistic beauty.

From her wrist, she took off the ring watch she was carrying.

Then, with a shudder, she handed over these two things, the only thing she could take out at the moment.

"I'm sorry!" Elizabeth slowed her voice as much as she could, and said nervously: "I don't have ...... on the 'money' you want."

Not really.

Because, she didn't know at all, what the strange person in front of her was asking for was the 'currency'?

It is even more unimaginable that such an existence and the currency required will be what kind of thing it will be?

She can only fight hard.

Hopefully, this weirdo will be what the mastermind had guessed.

Will be willing to accept her humble offering, and promise to give her a chance to raise the 'money' He needs.

"I can only deduct these two things to you for the time being!"

"I hope to get your permission to sell this Gospel, the sacred book of mechanical truth, to me ......"

"I promise, and swear, that in the future, I will bring enough 'money' to repay your great kindness today!"

This is the only way to survive.

Tell this 'weirdo'.

She is willing to take on the debt and vows in the future, to bring back enough 'money' to pay it back.

………………………………

Ling Ping'an looked at the things handed over.

A goose-egg-sized cyan spar made of unknown material.

What appears to be a ring watch.

It's just that the letters and numbers engraved on the ring watch make him unable to understand.

After all, foreign language majors in the federal state have always been majors that only diplomats or employees of foreign trade companies enroll.

A scumbag who graduated from an ordinary Class B university like Ling Ping'an can only recognize twenty-four foreign letters.

In addition to this, the impression and understanding of the Gentiles is really pitiful!

It's something that can't be helped.

Ling Ping looked at the foreign woman.

Chu Chu's pitiful appearance made him a little soft-hearted.

"After all, the Confederation has been a state of etiquette since ancient times...... "and besides, this Gentile woman doesn't look like the kind of person who will pay her debts......"

So, he nodded.

He took what the other party handed him.

Then, he pulled out a notepad from the counter.

Ask the other person, "What's your name?" ”

"Elizabeth......" replied, seemingly hesitating.

"Where?"

"...... of the United States of America"

"Huh?" Ling Ping'an frowned, he had never heard of this country, but there were few foreign countries and few people in the Federation who could recognize them all.

So, he shrugged his shoulders and jotted it down in his notes.

Then, he looked at the other party and handed the pen over: "Sign here!" He said, pointing to a blank space in his notepad.

Although it is actually said that Ling Ping can let her take the book away and give the money tomorrow.

However, this is indispensable for guarding people.

Therefore, it is also a matter of course to collect some mortgages.

………………………………………………

Elizabeth looked tremblingly at what was like a booklet that had been handed over.

In her eyes, she saw a pair of evil pupils emerging from the booklet.

In the cochlea, a muffled murmur echoed.

She took a pen from the hand.

She knew that this might be the legendary contract.

But she had no choice but to passively accept it.

So, she picked up her pen and wrote her name on the booklet.

Elizabeth.

When the last letter was written, she seemed to collapse and lost all her strength.

But it also seemed to be liberated, and the whole body was full of joy.

The strange man watched her sign her name, and handed her the Evil God Crystal and Ring Watch, and received what appeared to be a place in a drawer.

Then, he turned around, and in the dark eyes, the little spark gradually faded.

"Remember to redeem it early!" The weirdo admonished.

Elizabeth nodded vigorously, then asked, "Excuse me, how do I earn the 'money' you want?" ”

That's what she cares about the most.

Can His currency be understood by humans?

…………………………

"Excuse me, how do I earn the money you want?"

Ling Ping'an listened to the question of the foreign woman in front of him and knew that the other party was still immersed in his own world.

However, since she is willing to do so.

Then, Ling Ping will not rashly interrupt the other party's fantasies.

After organizing the language a little, Ling Ping'an smiled and said, "Of course, use machinery and steel to take it from the evil god and his minions!" ”

The background of the stars is the future era, the awakening of the ancient evil gods of the universe.

With the awakening of these ancient evil gods, there are also enemies of the evil gods, returning from the distant galaxy.

The story of humanity caught in the middle, forced to go to the three ultimate paths of machinery, psionic and genetics.

But in fact, the so-called evil gods and ancient alien civilizations are just ATMs and equipment providers for players.

Many players make a living by working in the game to make a living.

………………………………

"Machines and steel, of course, to take it from the evil god and his minions!"

A magnificent voice, sounded directly from the cochlear and transmitted directly to Elizabeth's brain.

It made her feel like a lightning strike.

The whole person was instantly excited.

"Sure enough...... The Mastermind's judgment is correct! ”

"He ......," Elizabeth looked at the strange man in awe, "he must be the enemy of the Void God!" ”

Elizabeth bowed deeply and respectfully: "I will obey your will!" ”

Although it is still unclear, what is the currency he wants?

But......

Destroying the evil gods, cleansing their minions, and bringing the world back on track is the ultimate ideal of every human being!

If you can do this, even if you cooperate with a more terrifying being, what does it matter?

…………………………

"I will obey your will!"

Ling Ping'an looked at the foreign woman in front of him who seemed to be going crazy, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and then said, "Then be it!" ”

He looked out the door, and the fog was still there.

Ling Ping'an thought for a while, took out a flashlight from the drawer, and handed it to the other party: "It's a bit foggy outside, you take this...... Go home early! ”

………………………………

Elizabeth took the flashlight that was handed to her.

She didn't quite understand what this thing was for.

This backward creation of the old era had been eliminated before the Void Storm.

But she took it anyway.

Then he bowed again to the strange man, clutched the book in his hand, and walked out of the strange and magical bookstore.

A thick fog enveloped the whole world, and she couldn't tell where to go.

In a trance, Elizabeth subconsciously turned on the flashlight in her hand.

The bright light shines out, and the road ahead gradually becomes clearer.

"So ......," Elizabeth thought, "to get out of here, you have to get a token and permission from the owner of the bookstore......"

"This flashlight is a credential ......"

"Maybe ......," she looked at the flashlight in her hand, "in the future, I can still hold it, go into the fog again, ask the bookstore owner for help, and get his gift and help!" ”

She held a flashlight and walked in the direction she had come.

In the electric light, the road gradually became clear.

Soon, she walked to the place where she stepped on the Tsukimo heir.

On the ground, the once huge heir of the evil god is gone, and even the slightest trace of it is gone.

She looked back, and the lights in the depths of the fog seemed to go out.

The whole world, empty and dark.

Only the light from the flashlight in her hand.
