Yu Ziyou didn't dare to object.
He could clearly feel Lin Zhile's anger.
And if he dared to cause trouble again, he would probably get beaten up. He had already experienced it once, and there was absolutely no reason to test whether he would survive a second round.
Once Lin Zhile was done, he turned toward Black Abyss.
However, when he stood in front of her, he suddenly felt like a hamster facing a tiger in terms of appearance, though it was completely the opposite when comparing their actual power.
He couldn't even see her face properly because of how close he was.
Lin Zhile frowned.
He couldn't use his spiritual power properly because he was too young. After all, no three year old had ever been able to use mental power either.
Normally, they could only begin to use mental power after awakening at the age of eighteen.
"Bend down," Lin Zhile said to Black Abyss.
However, Black Abyss really couldn't move.
She had used almost all of her spiritual power to evade Lin Zhiyu's attack earlier, so even if she wanted to obey Lin Zhile's command, her body simply couldn't move.
Lin Zhile realized this and immediately sneakily inputted his spiritual power into her.
Feeling the spiritual power enter her body, Black Abyss utilized it and slowly bent down.
Lin Zhile looked at the teeth marks that Yu Ziyou had left behind.
If he had been any later, he would have probably pulled that entire part off.
Lin Zhile was at a loss as to how to heal it, though he had no intention of healing it in front of the netizens.
Could someone tell him how to heal a metal part?
Though the part wasn't exactly made of metal, it still had many of the characteristics of one.
Xiao Baobao understood his confusion before speaking.
"Don't worry, though... er, Black Abyss's parts are rare. We have them in the palace. Though Weiwei would have to spend a fortune to repair that damage. Hehe..."
Xiao Baobao had initially been unable to bring himself to call a girl Black Abyss. However, after seeing her physical body, the name didn't seem out of place at all.
But the moment he thought about the face Yu Weiwei would make when he realized that he had somehow incurred such a huge amount of debt, Xiao Baobao couldn't help but gloat.
The comments section immediately began discussing the matter.
[Who knows what Black Abyss is made of?]
[It should be recorded in the Universal Library. I can't seem to match any of the rare materials to what she's made of.]
[It's been 3,000 years. Two thousand years ago, almost every citizen knew what it was made of. Now, newer and cooler mechas have completely overshadowed these ancient mechas.]
[Isn't there a historian professor in the livestream? They should know what it's made of, right?]
[I feel like all of God Lin's wealth had just been squandered by his son's animal companion.]
[Hey, Yu Weiwei is rich himself. And besides, God Yu is also wealthy. I don't think it would be squandered just like that.]
[If it was that easy to squander away God Lin's wealth, then he wouldn't have been named the richest man alive. Though we don't even know if he's still alive.]
Lin Zhile suddenly paused when he heard Xiao Baobao's words.
He turned toward him and asked,
"How much is it?"
"Well, Black Abyss is made up of Aethersteel-MK VII, 3rd Generation Military Alloy. As the years go by, it has become more expensive and rare. Currently, it's priced at 60 billion star coins," Xiao Baobao answered cheerfully, casually saying the most heart wrenching words possible.
The comments section exploded.
[What?!! Isn't Aethersteel-MK VII, 3rd Generation Military Alloy basically extinct?! AHH!! A total of 60 billion star coins!!]
[...If I remember correctly, Lin Zhe's net worth was 70 billion star coins twenty years ago? Damn!! They definitely squandered the family wealth.]
Lin Zhile's eyes constricted at that moment.
Any normal three-year-old definitely wouldn't know how much that really was.
But Lin Zhile was different.
He was very much aware of what sixty billion star coins represented because basically everyone on his planet was obsessed with money due to the planet's poverty.
While exploring the planet, he had even seen a couple of people kill themselves because of five hundred thousand star coins.
So he was very much aware of what sixty billion star coins was capable of.
After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Yu Ziyou as if he were gauging something.
Having come to a conclusion, he looked at Xiao Baobao before asking seriously,
"Do you think a purple primordial dragon beast can offset that amount? Don't worry. Though he has a few disadvantages, the advantages outweigh them."
Xiao Baobao was stunned for a moment before he burst into laughter.
Not only Xiao Baobao, even the netizens couldn't help bursting into laughter.
[Hahaha... How the hell does Lele's head work? I would have never thought of that.]
[Hahahaha, I think it's perfectly normal. The person who broke it should use his body to repay it.]
[Well, I heard primordial dragon beasts are priced at 10 billion star coins. Though that price was from five years ago, since they're extremely hard to catch.]
[The one that was sold five years ago was an injured adult primordial dragon, so Xiao Zi is definitely worth more than that.]
Xiao Baobao laughed for a good few minutes before finally stopping, though he was still smiling.
"Hey, Weiwei can definitely afford it. It's just that this debt will pinch a little. And besides, according to my calculations, Xiao Zi's species is currently priced at 15 billion star coins. Though a cub is worth 30 billion star coins. So even if you sold Xiao Zi, you probably could only pay half of it."
"And besides, how could you bear to sell your little brother?" Xiao Baobao teased him while pinching Lin Zhile's chubby cheeks.
Lin Zhile frowned.
Then he placed his hand on Black Abyss's wound.
After using his spiritual power to carefully check the wound, his frown relaxed considerably.
Well, he thought, since Black Abyss was made of Aethersteel, then it should have the properties of earth.
And it was confirmed to be correct.
He could manipulate the earth particles within it and restore them back to their original state.
It was just that he was currently not capable of doing it because of the properties of Aethersteel.
But Yu Weiwei could definitely fix it.
Lin Zhile looked at Yu Ziyou with sympathy.
When Yu Weiwei came out of his cultivation meditation, Yu Ziyou would probably get the beating of his life.
Xiao Baobao looked at Black Abyss, who was making small gestures, before speaking.
"Hello, Mingming. Or should I say Black Abyss?"
"Hi. Just call me Mingming. Master always calls me that."
A soft, cool, yet slightly excited voice sounded from Black Abyss.
The spiritual power Lin Zhile had transferred to her was enough for her to use for half a year, as long as she used it sparingly.
"Then, Mingming, I'm Xiao Baobao."
Xiao Baobao stood in front of her, though he was still a little short even with Black Abyss squatting down.
"I know you. You are one of the AI guardians. You are my idol. I aspire to be like you and go anywhere I like," Mingming said cheerfully.
Xiao Baobao finally realized why her voice had sounded so excited while talking to him.
"Eh? Really?! All the other AIs mostly like Ryan and Louise. They say I'm too unserious, though most of them are programmed like that," Xiao Baobao commented, though he was secretly a little smug that his little sister liked him better than his older siblings.
"Hmm, Ryan is too serious, and Louise scares me. And I have met you before."
Mingming paused for a moment as she tried to recall the distant memory.
"Hmm, it was exactly 3,000 years ago at the palace."
Mingming shivered slightly as she remembered what had happened that year.
She had only been eighteen back then, three years older than her body Black abyss.
"That's true. You came along with your master to visit the First Emperor. Mingming, when did you start to regain consciousness? Your power source died completely 2,850 years ago, ten years after your master died, and it was never replaced after that."
Xiao Baobao nodded in agreement, he still remembered what had happened back then.
Xu Nianye, who was Mingming's master and also the Supreme General, had gotten into a huge conflict with the emperor.
Back then, Louise had been ordered by the emperor to restrain Xu Nianye, and because of the connection between master and AI, Mingming had been restrained along with him.
Ryan and Louise had also been extremely harsh toward Mingming, who had tried to escape on Xu Nianye's orders.
It was Xiao Baobao who had mediated the issue at that time.
