Chapter 114: Flesh is weak, only machines are eternal
In the Hell Dimension, after everything had concluded, the initiator of this play, Mephisto, felt a bit uncertain.
"Is this really what was planned in our script?" Mephisto asked Constantine.
Mephisto really hadn't expected that he would just throw a little Freddy in there, and it would end up with a battle between Demon Gods.
*Inhale~ Exhale~* The cigar smoke rose slowly.
"Of course..." Constantine remained calm and handed the script to Mephisto. "You can check it. In the end, justice resolved evil, multiple forces appeared, and it was a play based on the power of emotion, right?"
"That is true..." Mephisto sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected that the answer Constantine provided would turn into reality in this way.
It far exceeded his expectations. As for the reward, he had already received it from Ding Hao.
On the game table, beside the chair representing Mephisto, a Director Point now appeared. This score was Ding Hao's evaluation of the play initiated by Mephisto.
Director Points could be directly compared to Frank's Wish Points. They themselves contained a certain power and could be exchanged for any rule without loss. If there were enough, Mephisto could even buy the Harry Potter world with them.
Just the Director Points earned this time were enough for Mephisto to recover a great deal. Sure enough, it was the right decision to pay a high price to get Constantine over at the time.
"Are you satisfied?" Constantine asked with a smile.
"Of course, you did very well." Mephisto patted Constantine on the shoulder. "Keep up the good work next time!"
At the same time, Mephisto was also thinking: Constantine had achieved this effect just by commanding remotely; if he participated directly and directed the entry himself, wouldn't the effect be even more amazing?!
Hmm... This prospect was very worth considering.
Constantine didn't say anything more. He felt relieved inwardly. Fortunately, when he set up the script, he wrote many things quite vaguely. Fortunately, Mephisto was the type of person who only cared about the result and didn't care much about the process; otherwise, this might have fallen apart.
Did he successfully predict so many things?
How could that be possible? Even if Batman were brought over, it would be tough. Constantine was just improvising and bluffing his way through it.
On the other side, in the Tea Theater Network, Peter's private space welcomed a visitor.
"Hey, Brother Laji, you didn't sell the Emotion Coins easily, did you!" Peter asked Yifan with concern as soon as he arrived.
"No. Obviously, this thing has exceeded the value of a general equivalent. Exchanging it for money is the most stupid approach," Yifan replied.
"That's good." Peter breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Yifan would sell them for 10,000 USD each; that would be a huge loss. "Now the price of Emotion Coins is skyrocketing. It has risen from the initial 10,000 USD to 100,000, and moreover, not many people are selling at this price."
"Very normal. This shows that most people are not stupid to that extent," Yifan said, taking out a piece of paper and handing it to Peter. "This is the 500,000 USD from that agent. I've cleaned it for you; just use it to exchange directly."
"Actually... I'm not short of money. Why don't you take it and use it first."
Having experienced so many things, Peter had already come to regard Yifan as a friend.
"No need, Spider-Man. Remember one thing: brothers settle accounts clearly. Don't test anyone with benefits," Yifan said, stuffing the paper into Peter's hand.
"Hahaha, what are you talking about? Spider-Man is my idol," Peter laughed, trying to gloss over it.
"No need to pretend in front of me. You should still change your pajamas. I think there are few costumes in the world that are less in line with a hero's identity than that thing," Yifan complained. "It's as much of an eyesore as Captain America's tights from decades ago!"
"Is it that bad..." Peter couldn't understand why Yifan would compare his battle suit to tights.
Yifan watched Peter from the side, feeling a thousand emotions. He really hadn't expected that in his final moments as a human, he would be able to know a little brother. This little brother was good at everything, but unfortunately, he was a fan of Tony Stark.
"Spider-Man."
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Peter looked up, feeling that Yifan's demeanor didn't seem right.
"..." Yifan's lips moved a few times, but he still didn't say the initial question. "Nothing. Remember to come to the Stark Exhibition. I'll treat you to a good show then."
"What? You aren't going to cause trouble at the Exhibition, are you! You'll be arrested!" Peter was a bit anxious.
"Don't worry, I'll be very peaceful. I'm just going to discuss some things with peace and love," Yifan replied with a smile, while sending the electronic code for the Exhibition ticket to Peter.
"Phew... That's good." Peter breathed a sigh of relief. He estimated that Brother Laji wouldn't even be able to see Tony Stark then. Hmm, yes, he should prepare something to comfort him later.
"Spider-Man, it's really nice to know you," Yifan said again, inexplicably.
"Why are you suddenly saying this?" Peter looked at Yifan, always feeling that he was arranging his affairs.
Yifan laughed twice. "Human emotions always overflow inadvertently. Alright, I should go too. See you next time."
"See you next time." Peter waved his hand.
Yifan logged out. *I hope that when we meet next time, I can still recognize you, my friend. *
In a certain basement, Yifan took off the Tea Helmet he had bought on installment. In this not-particularly-large basement, all kinds of mechanical products were placed everywhere.
Yifan walked toward a table. On it were various parts of a robot, from the energy system to the weapon system, all very complete. The only thing that might be missing was the control system, that is, the algorithm.
In terms of algorithms, or artificial intelligence, Yifan was not proficient, so he planned to use himself as a substitute.
Originally, there was still a long distance for Yifan to achieve this result, but the appearance of Emotion Coins and the exchange shop erased this distance.
What Yifan was hesitating about now was: if he completely turned into a robot, would the robot version of himself still follow the plan to go to the Exhibition and beat up Tony Stark based on his judgment?
He looked up at the wall, where two pictures were hanging.
One was a picture of Yifan's father dying on his sickbed due to a serious illness, and the other was a screenshot of Tony Stark attending an event with the reactor on his chest.
"Flesh is weak, only machines are eternal!"
Yifan made up his mind. All the mechanical equipment on the table lit up. Many of these were exchanged from the exchange shop; he had spent all his Emotion Coins.
*Father, this time, I will definitely walk in front of the Stark family! I will tell the world that your child is much stronger than Howard's child! * ===== CHAPTER 115 =====
