That young lady isn't short on money; maybe her savings are several times more than your current wretched state,” Lin Yilin mocked.
“You are…” Daluoqi had just spoken one word gravely when Lin Yilin once again aimed the cat cat gun at him and pulled the trigger.
Bullets poured out. Daluoqi, having learned his lesson, had no intention of taking them head-on this time. He started running, trying to dodge.
However, those strangely shaped bullets, except for a few that plunged into the ground, could suddenly change direction in mid-air and pursue him.
Fortunately, he was well-prepared this time. The blood blade in his hand condensed again, and after a struggle, he managed to find an opportunity to cut down the cat cat bullets.
Then, seizing an opportunity, he exploded forward, rapidly ambushing Lin Yilin.
Lin Yilin waited for him to approach with a smile, slowly put away her cat cat gun, and faced the ferocious blood blade rushing towards her. Instead of retreating, she advanced, brushing past the blood blade and closing in on Daluoqi. Instantly, she exerted force, raising and bending her arm, thrusting her elbow forward.
An elbow squarely struck Daluoqi's solar plexus, causing his body to shake violently and his vision to darken.
Even though he had purchased and traded for a lot of physical strength, he was still nearly toppled by that elbow.
Lin Yilin did not press her advantage. After catching him off guard with the first exchange, she stood still, giving Daluoqi some time to recover.
“You bastard!” Daluoqi roared and lunged again, but Lin Yilin casually waved her hand to parry the blood blade, then followed with a powerful palm strike to his chest, pushing him back half a step. After that, she used her lower body to burst forward with another pushing palm.
Daluoqi slid back several meters, coughing up blood foam and suppressing the churning in his internal organs. He looked on with fierce eyes, no longer fixated on the large, useless blood blade, and changed back to human hands, attempting to parry her fists and kicks at close range.
Four hands rapidly intertwined at close quarters. Daluoqi initially managed to withstand a few moves, but as Lin Yilin suddenly sped up her hand movements, he couldn't keep up.
From time to time, he took a punch to the face, a palm to the chest, and a heavy blow to his waist and abdomen.
His entire body swayed like a sandbag, every attempt to parry being dismantled one by one by Lin Yilin.
When he realized something was wrong and wanted to retreat, thick black Earthworms suddenly crawled out from under his feet, coiling around his legs and biting into his flesh, immobilizing Daluoqi in pain.
After that, it was entirely a punching bag session. He could no longer clearly see Lin Yilin's hands, only knowing that they were raining down on his face.
Bang, bang, bang, bang—!
After a series of striking and colliding sounds, Lin Yilin paused. Seeing that Daluoqi had lost consciousness and was standing in place, supported entirely by the Earthworms.
Finally, a magnificent 360-degree spinning kick finished it off.
Bang!
Daluoqi flew backward and was embedded in the wall, unconscious.
“Boring, time to switch people.” Lin Yilin shook her hands and blew off the dust clinging to them.
Just as she spoke, a strange squirming sound slowly emerged.
The surrounding flesh seemed to come alive all at once. When Daluoqi fell from the wall and stood up again, his eyes were completely covered in blood-red.
His skin and flesh squirmed, then expanded, causing Daluoqi to completely lose his original appearance.
A blurred figure of flesh and blood, floating blood-colored chips and coins connected into strands of ribbons, spreading out. This was the Illusion known as the Bloody Conglomerate, its appearance in reality after completely replacing Daluoqi's existence.
“Don't… disturb us… making money!!” With Daluoqi's voice as the main sound, surrounded by the haggard and greedy shouts of countless people, the Bloody Conglomerate roared at Lin Yilin.
Lin Yilin immediately made a judgment, gravely saying, “Such a high violence index. Daluoqi has cultivated it very well; it has grown quite fully. ‘Cluster’? It might even have reached the ‘Gang’ level…”
“That's truly amazing. Although, with you possessing my body, saying that always feels more like mocking them,” Zheng Fan said expressionlessly, waving his hand using Lin Yilin's body.
“We are in its distorted small world of events, and there's so much nourishment here. Its violence index will continue to rise, so we still need to be careful,” Lin Yilin still cautiously reminded.
No sooner had she spoken than the Bloody Conglomerate summoned a dilapidated giant slot machine.
The slot machine spun; what it spun was irrelevant. When three sevens appeared on the slot machine's screen, the opening below directly spewed out a torrent of blood-colored fluid.
Lin Yilin stood still, gently raising her hand.
Boom!
The shadow beneath her feet expanded, and countless black Earthworms surged out together, forming a black torrent that rushed forward.
Red and black clashed, evenly matched for a moment.
At this moment, a slender blood blade flashed, tearing an opening through the torrent of Earthworms and rushing straight for Lin Yilin's face.
Earthworms shot out from Lin Yilin's fingertips. The Bloody Conglomerate cut through thorns and brambles, its body covered in Earthworms constantly gnawing at its flesh, yet it fearlessly closed in on Lin Yilin.
The blood blade was raised high, then chopped down!
Swish!
It chopped nothing but air.
Bloody Conglomerate: ?!
Its blood blade, at the moment it fell, vanished from its hand and appeared in Lin Yilin's hand.
Lin Yilin grinned wildly, laughing with a mouthful of healthy, white teeth: “Haven’t rich people heard? This is ‘robbery’!”
The blood blade swung, almost cutting the Bloody Conglomerate in two, with only parts of its flesh and sinews still connected.
The Bloody Conglomerate's consciousness wavered.
Why did this 'kindred spirit' in front of it have the same ability as it? Even if it was also a property-type ability, why could the other party use its wealth?!
Robbery… robbery!?
No, this ability only had the same form of expression, but in reality, it was completely different from its ability!
It was wealth, but what Lin Yilin displayed, as she had just said—plunder!
The plunder of others' wealth that did not belong to oneself, truly a simple and direct 'robbery'.
And the wealth that was robbed, of course, became his wealth!
“No robbing!” After the Bloody Conglomerate understood, it immediately roared. Its wounds quickly healed, and its two claws tore wildly. The sound of chips and coins colliding continuously echoed in the room.
It was like a child whose beloved toy had been stolen; now, it had no choice but to throw a tantrum.
Amidst its roars, all the flesh and blood in the room were drawn to it.
Even those who were intoxicated by the wealth of flesh and blood were drawn along.
Seeing this, Lin Yilin no longer bothered to show off. With a flash, she grabbed Lind, who was also about to be sucked away.
Lind, however, was completely unaware. He only hugged his “wife” and “child” tightly: “Don't be afraid! I will protect you! Daddy will protect you! Kaibisi, hold on tight to me!”
“Tsk.” Lin Yilin clicked her tongue in annoyance and used the hilt of the blood blade to knock him unconscious.
As Lind fainted and let go, all the wealth was now concentrated in the Conglomerate.
The Conglomerate's eyes, like a furnace, stared venomously at Lin Yilin, who dared to plunder its wealth.
Money can buy everything!
Therefore—
“I will use all my wealth to buy your death!”
The scene instantly froze.
All flesh and blood evaporated.
And the Bloody Conglomerate seemed to fall into a pitch blackness.
Black sky and earth, black ocean, black universe, surrounded by silence, a black without a trace of impurity.
Standing before it was not the young girl, but another unfamiliar man.
Clad in black, only his eyes were bright grey-white, the only contrasting color in this world.
The Bloody Conglomerate stared blankly at the man, and the man silently stared back at it for a long time.
Finally, he couldn't help but let out a soft, heartfelt laugh of mockery.
“Not enough.”
Rumble—
All the blood-color vanished. The Bloody Conglomerate evaporated along with the surrounding flesh and blood.
Along with its wealth, which would never return.
