Alice in the Land of Steam

Chapter 933 Do we have super robots too?

In order to get the cassette from Alice, Linger and Lorena came to the Fairy Sleep Inn together. This was a rather unusual combination, so much so that Shelia, who was mixing drinks behind the counter, couldn't help but take a second look. However, neither of them cared about the strange looks, and went straight up to the second floor, to the door of Alice's room. Linger knocked on the door three times with an expressionless face, but got no response, so he pushed the door open and walked in, acting like he was familiar with the place.

"Is Alice not here?" Lorena asked curiously.

"No." Ling Ge said calmly: "She is just playing games."

As expected, as soon as they entered the room, they saw Alice sitting on the bed in a carefree manner, with a virtual light screen projected by a game console in front of her. As if to create a certain atmosphere, she deliberately drew the curtains, and there was no light in the room, so the light was dim, with only the faint blue light flowing across the cheeks of the golden-haired maid like water, making her focused expression look a little pale.

She didn't seem to notice the uninvited guest, still staring at the screen in front of her, her ten fingers flexibly tapping on the handle, making rapid clicking sounds, and she was still mumbling something. Ling Ge and Lorena walked closer and heard what she said -

"System, give me some more!"

"System, I want to receive the novice gift pack!"

"System, send me a task!"

And so on.

But no matter what she said, the cold voice from the game console always responded with only one sentence: [No corresponding function detected, please re-enter the command. ]

After trying more than a dozen times without success, the golden-haired maid finally gave up and dropped the controller, cursing, "Didn't I say I upgraded and unlocked the access to the auxiliary system? How come this shitty system is useless?"

Both of them were speechless. Lingge was silent for a while before asking, "Alice, what are you doing?"

"Ah? Lingge, Lorena, when did you come?" The golden-haired maid turned around and found that there were two more people in her room, but she just raised her eyebrows slightly, a little surprised, and did not accuse them of trespassing and violating the law. It seemed that she was used to such things.

Because she often does this, and she keeps saying: "If a hero needs to knock on the door before entering your house, then I am a hero for nothing. I haven't even searched your cupboards for props yet, so you should be grateful!"

The attitude is very arrogant.

"It's this game console." Alice pointed to the dark blue virtual light screen and said. Ling'er saw many familiar game icons on it, such as "Initial Fantasy: Four Warriors", "Dark Castle: Dawn Waltz", and the goal of their trip, "Sky Orbit: Behemoth Zero", etc. In addition, there is an interface called "Game Editor", which is probably the tool Alice uses to create new games.

Alice kept complaining, "It clearly told me that my player level has been upgraded from Level 4 to Level 5, and that I've unlocked a function called the auxiliary system. But I asked the system to add points, send me tasks, and give me a novice gift pack, but it ignored me. What is this? Is this false propaganda from GI?"

Adding points, issuing tasks and novice gift packs, are you sure that the system you want and the auxiliary system unlocked by the game console are the same system?

Lingge expressed his doubts. At the same time, the female voice responded coldly: [The main function of the TMS auxiliary system is to scan and record the brain wave data of the player, establish a high-precision character model, and provide corresponding auxiliary functions in the game, effectively improving the player's coordination, sensitivity and skills. It is recommended to enable it in somatosensory games where the game character and the player are highly connected. ]

"Oh? So it's an official cheat."

Alice burst into laughter on the spot, unilaterally resolving the misunderstanding with the game console: "Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had said so earlier, wouldn't there be no such misunderstanding? Although it's a pity that your system can't add points, it's not bad to be able to use cheats, not to mention that it's officially approved. Ai-chan, I'm really going to become a genius player, okay?"

No one with a conscience should say such a thing, but Alice doesn't.

"But now I have a clue about the new game." Alice suddenly remembered something, turned over and opened the drawer of the bedside table. After rummaging around in it for a long time, she took out a shiny silver cassette, held it in her hand, and smiled with determination: "Hehehe, an auxiliary system that can improve the strength of the character, plus a somatosensory game that highly connects the game character and the player... Doesn't this coincide with my previous idea? Ai-chan, I'm really going to become a genius producer?"

I always feel like you just said this sentence a second ago, and besides that you also said another sentence, that is, people who use the same joke twice have no taste.

The boomerang stabbed hard, but Ai-chan never cared about such trivial matters. A mere boomerang could not break her thick-skinned defense, so Linger did not use this as a handle to threaten her. Instead, he looked at the silver cassette in her hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "This is... Rorona's cassette, right?"

Princess Umisu also looked at the cassette curiously.

"Exactly!"

Alice raised her tone, quite proudly: "In order to deal with various emergencies, I deliberately kept it until now. Now is the time for it to come into play. This is called foresight!"

"You just forgot." Lingge poured cold water on her without hesitation: "If it was really for emergency situations, why didn't you use it last time in Lunweiting? Why did you have to wait for Gloria to activate the cassette before using her cassette to make the game?"

If it weren't for Tiantis's order, the army of the cult would have been surrounded but not attacked, and they would have all died on the Indorsis Bridge. It would have been fine if Alice didn't learn from her mistakes, but she was actually proud of it. Lingge thought that this wrong value system needed to be corrected.

"N-Nonsense!"

Alice was touched on a sore spot and almost jumped out of bed. "I didn't forget it. I just realized that Rorona's cassette was extraordinary and shouldn't be wasted on a small character like Tiantis, so I deliberately didn't use it! Didn't the final result prove my point? Everyone escaped and no one was injured. It was a great victory!"

In order to quibble, he actually called the boss behind the Witch Society a small-time character. This guy is completely hopeless.

"So my cassette is so powerful." After hearing what Alice said, Rorona's mouth curled up into an intriguing smile: "In that case, wouldn't it be better for me, the activator, to use it? After all, it was my Creation Kingship that activated it. In theory, I should have some rights to it, right?" "What did you say!?"

If Ling'er's words only made Alice angry, then Lorena's words really violated the core interests of the genius player, causing her to start jumping up and down without caring about her image: "Sorry, I can't do it! Lorena, I thought you were a good person, but I didn't expect you to want to steal my cartridge! But I want to tell you, unless I die, no one can replace the position of the genius player! Come on, step over my dead body!"

She opened her arms and blocked the game console with a righteous look.

Lorena raised her foot without saying a word.

"Wait, wait! Are you really going to step on me? We are good friends!" Alice was scared and huddled behind the game console, looking at Princess Umi in front of her pitifully and helplessly. This weak attitude was rarely seen in her arrogant life. Usually, she would only yield like this when facing Saint Shallia, and now there is another Rorona. It may be because the genius player once said that there are two kinds of people in the world that cannot be offended, one is the one who issues the main quest for you, and the other is the one who sells you props. The shepherdess is the former, and Princess Umi is the latter.

Alice didn't dare to offend Lorena, she was hoping to get more interesting props from Lorena.

"How about we work together?" she asked tentatively. "I will be merciful and allow you to give me some suggestions for the new game I am about to make. I will refer to them appropriately. In this way, you can also fulfill part of the responsibility of the cartridge activator. Isn't it wonderful?"

Considering her character, this is indeed a huge concession.

Rorona retracted her foot and said, "That sounds good. So what kind of new game are you going to make? Let me hear your ideas first. You know, for creators, ideas are the most valuable asset."

Alice breathed a sigh of relief, then perked up, that confident expression returning to her face. In the field she excels in, a genius player is invincible: "I want to make a game that can fight against the constructed mechas of the Witch Society!"

"Oh?"

Linger and Rorona were both interested in this sentence. The Witch Society's constructed mechas were notorious and were the most terrifying war weapons in the history of Mirror Star. They had frightened countless people in the mysterious world. The cannon of the Conviction of the Scarlet Night Gate alone buried the souls of countless demigods and true gods, and this was just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to the Earth Witch Scarlet Night Gate, the Witch Society also hid a series of constructed mechas, including the headquarters, the Sky Dragon Nest Ladist, collectively known as the "Creation Machine".

Linger even suspected that the Witch Society had also arranged at least one Creation Mech in the universe to carry out various secret activities, such as exterminating the so-called extraterrestrial disaster beasts, monitoring the movements of the resistance forces in the East Continent, and even blocking the road to the Holy Temple of Heaven. When they entered the universe, they would inevitably clash with the Creation Mech, so the new game that Alice mentioned that could fight against the Construct Mech was indeed crucial.

The young man had been planning to remind her of this, but he didn't expect Alice to figure it out on her own. He didn't believe that this was Alice's intelligence at work, but rather the so-called beast intuition - it is said that beasts can detect hidden crises and respond in advance. The night owls that scream before an earthquake, or the petrels that fly away from the cliffs before a storm are all real examples.

"I always feel like you are thinking about something very rude." Alice looked at Linge suspiciously.

This is also an example.

The young man said expressionlessly: "No. Or tell me your idea. How do you plan to fight against the construct mecha?"

"Change the subject." Alice muttered, but didn't take it to heart. Instead, she picked up the controller on the bed and clicked it a few times. The virtual screen of the game console was switched to the interface of the game editor. Linger and Lorena's eyes were immediately attracted, because in the center of the interface intertwined with geometric patterns, cold lines and complex data, stood a huge humanoid machine with a majestic appearance. Although it was just a structural diagram, it still made people feel its sacred, gorgeous and majestic temperament.

"A genius player once said that you should use magic to fight magic, and mecha to fight mecha."

Alice's smug voice came from the side: "So, the code name of this machine is - Genesis Machine."

Is the Creation Mecha meant to correspond to the Creation Mecha of the Witch Society?

"Let me see!" Rorona suddenly became interested. She pushed Alice aside and looked at the design on the screen. However, after she saw the various data marked on it, her expression suddenly became strange: "Punch power, about equal to 2.5 Zetas; speed, undoubtedly MAX; energy, just rely on the spiral force inside the human body; has nine forms far exceeding Tiga, but can't use the red form at the beginning because it doesn't comply with special effects rules... What is all this, Alice?"

"It's its precise data, what's wrong?"

"You call this precision?" Lorena manipulated her controller, flipped through the design drawings, and found another flaw: "For such a complex machine, you only set one pilot? The Witch Society's constructed mechas require at least a division of technicians to be in charge. Are you planning to use the True Gods as fuel and replace them with the next one after they are burned up?"

Let alone whether a pilot can bring out the full performance of this machine, there are not many demigods who can control it on Yunjing Sky Island. It seems that there is only Countess Neviel. However, with the blessing of the Fang of Eternal Life, maybe the Countess can really be competent for the duties of this one-time driver? Uh, it's a bit cruel but also a bit funny. Is this the hell joke that Alice often tells?
"Ah, don't talk nonsense here!" When it comes to her masterpiece, Alice will not give Lorena face, and argues: "Whether it is a special effects work, an animation work, or even a game, it is very reasonable for one person to control a mecha. What's more, I have the TMS auxiliary system that I just unlocked. If I install this system in the Genesis machine, it can perfectly meet the driving needs of a single individual!"

Rorona's expression became even more strange. "If I remember correctly, the auxiliary system was only unlocked today. Before that, how do you plan to solve this problem?"

"Just use human willpower to get through it!"

"You can't make it!"

"Hehe, don't underestimate super robots!" Alice sneered twice, then pinched her chin and fell into thought again: "But what you said makes sense. Since the auxiliary system has been unlocked and the driver's performance has been greatly improved, it means that this machine still has room for improvement. Maybe I should readjust its design and data. Oh, I'm a little tangled. Is the real system better, or the super system better?"

Linger couldn't help but ask, "What's the difference between the real system and the super system?"

Alice replied immediately: "The real type is more real, and the super type is more super."

Lingge's face turned dark: What are you doing here?
