Chapter 297: Not as good as me

"Rabbi Shan is looking at Le Che." Willy Xiao shrugged. "Or another single rabbi. I was just going to tell you, if you want..."

"I don't want to." Norole turned her head back, her voice clear. Her wet, aquatic eyes met the mechanic's dry prosthetic eyes. "My wish is-"

"Your question," the mechanic corrected.

"my wish."

Norole held her two hands together - like holding a white shell, preparing to peel it open and take out the pearls. "To become the most powerful god in the universe."

"oh------"

Willy Xiao touched the head of a Camby monster and admired it loudly. This action almost caused his hand to be bitten off entirely. An earth elf took a silent step and stopped the small tragedy that was about to happen - although judging from the expression on his face, he wished that Willy Xiao's neck would be bitten to pieces instead of his hand.

"What an innocent and lovely idea." The arcane scholar covered his wrist and laughed while looking at the slender back of the water fairy.

Willie Xiao was very relaxed. Everyone except him seemed a little nervous.

The gears turned quietly for a while. The mechanic did not refute the water fairy again.

"Hmm -" His head slid sideways along the groove, smoothly sliding through a bend and rising upwards. "From the machine's perspective, your problem is that you're not strong enough."

"Yes." Norole replied, rolling her eyes.

"A consensus has been reached. Then I can break it down into these two plans." The mechanic stopped at about thirty rows. "The first is to improve your abilities and become the strongest among the gods in the universe. The other is to reduce the abilities of other gods so that they are not as good as you.

Both options can solve your problem. Which one do you want? "

"Ha! Of course that's the first one." Willi Xiao proactively expressed his opinion and turned around to prepare for a discussion with the earth elf - the other party immediately retreated into the pile of monsters but could not stop him from continuing. :

"Isn't it an easy decision to make? You can do more when you become stronger. It's different when you become weak...Hey. Machine. You said there are no word games here. Right? You won't give it to other guys. Change the name, divide them into different categories, and then leave her only for the 'god' category... The universal problem-solving machine doesn't play with those imaginary ones... It's that simple! Well! Just become stronger! Hey! Listen to me of!"

"I hope other gods are not as good as me." Norole said crisply.

“So it’s the smarter choice!”

Willy Xiao barely paused and immediately began to applaud loudly. "It embodies the value of thinking! The value of a kind heart! The value of anticipatory violation! The value of arcane stories! And—"

"Then please press the red button. Water Fairy Norole."

The mechanic slid down. Within the Eternal Room, no other voice could overpower his.

"Oh. The first one in the first row. The especially red one." He reminded me extra.

Norole bent down and pressed the bright red button.

Nothing happened - or so it seemed. Willy Shaw kindly acted like he was struck by lightning to create atmosphere. Apart from this, there is only the usual announcement made by the mechanic:

"Prioritize the use phase. The problem of numbered copper has been solved. If you still need it, please come back at the exhibition tomorrow."

"Okay. See you then." Norole blinked. "Then let's go back together. This beautiful lady." Willy Xiao imitated Ke Qier's tone, and then found that this attitude did not work every time.

Two mushroom spirits pushed him aside and supported the water fairy who got off the cushion. There was a cool smell of water vapor in the air. The figures of the Luoshen Project volunteers who had just returned blurred slightly and disappeared in a wave of ripples.

Willy Xiao scratched his butt.

"They left first. No intention of going with you. They don't want to go with you. They don't like you. You're hated." The mechanic slid next to him and made a series of noises. "I speak the objective truth. Machines have no emotions, you know."

"You say whatever you want. I won't be mad at you now. Machine."

Willy Xiao chuckled. "It doesn't matter. I think what you said is true! You are the biggest here. But, whatever you say, I will make them - especially a certain fairy - like me." He smiled and said He kicked his hands into his trouser pockets and smiled crookedly.

"I want you to know. In this world, you and your machine are not the only ones who can solve problems——"

"That's what you want to talk about? I already knew it," the mechanic said.

"Uh...ah. Okay. You can do it. Hum! Whatever! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." After a short pause, Willy Xiao quickly became happy. He strode out. He knew what to do and was confident. If this was an arcane story, he had it figured out in the first line.

…

The weather outside has changed. He noticed but didn't care. The energy content of the air changes. He noticed but didn't care. An entire row of crystalline trees died. He noticed but didn't care. There were dry strange things hanging on the dead branches, but he didn't pay attention. Mosquito snow drifted in from beyond the cracked demiplane, and he felt sick but paid it no mind. He saw more garbage, more pits, and heard more noises in the distance - the unfamiliar yet familiar sound of book pages flapping inside. He didn't care.

…

…

"Le Che! I'm here to pick you up!!!"

Willy Xiao opened the door and spread the sound waves throughout the church. This is the time when Kalu should be sleeping, so neither the fallen angel leader nor the little water fairy should be sleeping. The mystic scholar ran briskly through the rows of seats, opened the door of the small room, looked at it, closed it, and then rushed to the corridor leading to the backyard. In the backyard there is a pool of liquid used for prayer by the Order of the Fallen Angels - built in the style of Hell. He bet that Le Che would be there.

Sure enough, she was there. But instead of immersing himself in the pool, he stood on the edge of the pool. The thin and small figure turned its back to him.

"Hey! Little guy! Uncle Willy Xiao is here to pick you up!" The arcane scholar ran over happily. "Guess who's back!" He bent down and looked at Le Che's pointed nose - the little water fairy's eyelashes were longer and denser than the big water fairy's, completely hiding the direction of her gaze underneath.

Her almost colorless lips moved slightly.

"What?" Willy Xiao smiled and leaned into his ear, "Okay. I won't tease you anymore -"

"I don't want to go back." Leche said. "I don't want to go outside." The voice was still small but clear.

Willy Xiao smiled.

"It's okay." He squatted down. "Little one. Your mother is back now. Of course we must stay with her. She will protect us. Okay? Come with me—"

"I'm not leaving," Leche said. "I'm not leaving. I have something to do."

"What's the matter?" Weili Xiao laughed.

"I want to be an angel." Leche said.
