Witch Special

Facts had proven that even for members, the "company" wouldn't offer discounts on such clearly marked prices. Contribution points were the correct amount, and at most, they'd allow Lin Zhenxi to buy on credit...

Well, the credit function is actually a member privilege. In the past, there was no such thing, the amount was the price, and the goods were delivered upon payment.

But Lin Zhenxi didn't like to owe money or overspend, so after seeing that the credit wasn't free, but was simply an installment plan, she lost interest in this membership privilege. It's not like she couldn't afford it, so why would she owe it to others?

But then again, the price of Lin Zhenxi's question on the "company" side is a bit outrageous, almost matching the price of a space cube. That is the initial equipment of the special envoy, a device that can convert any information into consultation, how can it be so expensive.

Well, maybe it's because the concept of "information" is too broad, which has resulted in this equipment becoming a conceptual thing, possessing a degree of mystery or technological content almost comparable to that of weaponry. Anyway, it's a hidden value, and it's this hidden value that has caused the price of this equipment to soar to a level that even Lin Zhenxi felt uncomfortable buying it.

After all, she had already bought three space cubes before. The small treasury that she had painstakingly accumulated for ten years was reduced by half in an instant. Now she was asked to spend so many contribution points again. She could hardly use even her trump card of off-field assistance.

Or, retreat a space cube?

But that would be meaningless. The upgrade requirements for the Space Cube are fixed. If one is missing, it cannot be upgraded to the third stage.

At this time, Lin Zhenxi looked at the membership privilege of buying on credit again, and was really tempted.

However, she ultimately decided not to cross her own line and touch the debt. She chose to go out to work. Since the "company" probably wouldn't be assigning her any commissions anytime soon, she would take on commissions in the main world, earn some internal contribution points, and try to make up for her losses.

For example, before going to the previous world, Lin Zhenxi helped Liz Nightingale solve the problem in order to earn contribution points.

Of course, the Contribution Points awarded for tasks delegated on the "Company" platform were significantly less than those awarded by the Special Envoys, a difference of roughly an order of magnitude. This wasn't difficult to understand. Putting aside the inherent dangers of traveling to another world, the time cost alone was a stark difference.

A commission in the main world might be completed in a few days, or even in less than a day if done quickly, but a commission in another world would typically take years. Even if time in the main world slowed down, or even sped up in another world, a trip would still take months, and that was considered fast. If the mission didn't go smoothly, who knew if they would ever get back.

The risks, time consumption, and various costs required are all far beyond the internal commissions of the "company" in the main world, so it is not surprising that the rewards are so high.

However, as long as you're willing to grind, the efficiency of obtaining contribution points on the internal commission platform is actually better than the otherworldly commissions. After all, you don't need to go to the otherworld, the time is controllable, and you can immediately take on the next commission after completing one, or even take on several commissions at once, as long as you guarantee that you can complete them.

If you accept a commission even though you know you cannot complete it, causing the client's commission to be locked invalid, the "company's" punishment mechanism will definitely not be lenient.

Well, let's solve Hemer's problem first and help him grow up quickly. Then, Lin Zhenxi should take on more commissions that require a shorter time frame and replenish his coffers as soon as possible. That's right, it's decided.

From beginning to end, Lin Zhenxi never considered the possibility of not being able to complete the commissions posted on the platform. She certainly wouldn't accept anything she dared to do. She had the confidence that she could complete any commission she dared to take. This confidence came from the magic power flowing through her body, the magical knowledge in her head, and her own magical equipment.

If she couldn't solve the problem, she could just go to the Garden of Departure and see Patchouli. She was Lin Zhenxi's ultimate external aid, and she didn't think the problems she faced would be difficult for Patchouli. She was in the main world anyway, so she could go to the Garden of Departure anytime. However, if she didn't stop there and back, the contribution points required wouldn't be very high.

So... I bought it!

Lin Zhenxi gritted her teeth and clicked to pay the full amount. The personal terminal interface delayed slightly, and then Lin Zhenxi saw a bright blue circle of light appear above him. Something like a power bank fell out of it and hovered in mid-air, supported by a circle of white light, waiting for Lin Zhenxi to grab it.

Is this thing the conceptual equipment that can convert any kind of information into data, a genuine Zenith technology?

It doesn't look very eye-catching.

All in all, try installing it first.

Lin Zhenxi touched the halo around the power bank. The moment her palm passed through the halo, the instructions for using the power bank and various parameters flooded into Lin Zhenxi's brain like a tide, allowing her to instantly understand everything about the power bank.

It’s really Zenith Technology, genuine information infusion.

Lin Zhenxi closed his eyes and digested this information, ignoring the explanation of the principles and only paying attention to its usage tutorial. He quickly got started using it.

It was actually quite simple. Lin Zhenxi found a notch on the front of the power bank and ran her fingertips down along it. The originally black notch was then filled with blue light. Then, the power bank expanded along the blue line, transforming from a rectangular block into a square board. Simultaneously, the material changed from hard to flexible, allowing it to be easily moved even with a finger.

Lin Zhenxi held the white square piece and placed it against Hemo's flat abdomen. There was no other way. Luke had designed it that way. The larger back was full of ports. Lin Zhenxi couldn't possibly cover them all, could she? While the lower abdomen also played an important role in heat dissipation, this small square piece was a conceptual combination of virtual and real, and it wouldn't affect Hemo's ability to dissipate heat when operating at full power.

As the small square piece approached Hemo's lower abdomen, just before the two of them touched, a tiny arc of electricity appeared in the gap. Under the pull of these arcs, Lin Zhenxi felt her hand lighten, and the square piece stuck to Hemo's metal skin.

As the arc spread over a small area, the flexible metal material transformed into liquid metal and melted directly into Hemer's body, leaving only a symbol on Hemer's lower abdomen that looked very elegant, but Lin Zhenxi didn't know the specific meaning. Ahem, it wasn't an X pattern, but a pattern that looked like a power switch, which just happened to enrich Hemer's belly button area and make it look less empty.

After all, Hemer is a humanoid robot, not a real person, so even if a belly button is made, it would at most be a port. But Hemer already has so many large ports on his back, there's no need to make another port in the center of his lower abdomen.

The switch-like pattern is actually the power bank itself, a conceptual hybrid of the virtual and the real, a high-tech object. However, Lin Zhenxi feels that it shares many similarities with the concepts of magic. This demonstrates that when technology reaches a certain level of development, both technology and magic ultimately reach the same destination. In other words, both are incomprehensible.

After installing the information conversion module on Hemer, Lin Zhenxi stared at him nervously, fearing that she might feel unwell. Hemer was now her most precious treasure. If the integration of the information conversion module into Hemer caused Hemer's own system to become disordered, Lin Zhenxi would not be able to repair it and would have to go back to the previous world to seek help from Grandpa Luke.

Hemo was also silent, but Lin Zhenxi could hear a distinct electromagnetic sound coming from her body, presumably indicating that her internal computing modules were operating at full speed. Another obvious point was that Lin Zhenxi gradually felt the surroundings getting hotter, and the source of the heat was Hemo in front of her. Her cooling function must have been turned up to its maximum.

But honestly, that heat dissipation is a bit high. Lin Zhenxi suddenly understood why Buffon hung herself upside down. First, she needed to ensure that all the ports on her back were facing the direction of the cables, with as few sharp bends as possible. Second, she wanted to maximize her contact with the outside world to improve heat dissipation. And obviously, there's no better way to dissipate heat than hanging.

But, could it be that Hemer would have to hang himself up in the future? Lin Zhenxi thought back to Buffon's original, self-contained outfit and couldn't help shaking her head. Buffon didn't look very good in that outfit, and at best, she could only make out a human form. Lin Zhenxi never saw Buffon's face, only his chin. But look at Buffon's stand-in, that little white dress, those big blue waves, how beautiful it was.

If Lin Zhenxi really had to choose, she would definitely dress Hemer up like Buffon's stand-in. But this would require him to deal with the heat dissipation problem. Hemer's body dissipated too much heat, so Lin Zhenxi had to think of a way to solve it.

Emmm, if it’s just about heat dissipation, it seems like this problem is easy to solve?
