Sir! Don't close the net!

Then make it bigger for me!

Once you get big, you lose motivation!

Then let's make it bigger!

The wireless loop.

However, the problems that their current technology cannot overcome are quite simple for the Chosen Ones, because the strength of the Chosen Ones has nothing to do with their own weight. As long as there are Chosen Ones as human engines, all problems are solved.

Valkyrie fell silent, because there was an extremely high chance that she would become the engine.

Valkyrie yawned and took an elegant sip of her wine; she was sleepy now.

"Okay—let me formally introduce you—"

"Wait a minute! I don't want to be your human engine!" Valhae Rei immediately stood up to protest.

Li Yili took the opportunity to pull off the suitcase on her back, unzip it, grab Nakia by the back of her collar and pull hard. Nakia also "cooperated" by striking a classic Taro entrance pose. However, because she didn't expect Valkyrie to "volunteer" so suddenly, Li Yili, who hadn't reacted in time, stood frozen in the position of pulling out Nakia.

"puff--"

Valkyrie couldn't hold back and spilled a mouthful of wine.

Nakya?!

Valkyr Iris put down her wine glass and rubbed her eyes vigorously, but no matter how many times she rubbed her eyes, Nakya's appearance, which had been half pulled out by Li Yili, did not change at all.

Nakya, the princess of Eden.

Valkyrie's lips twitched.

She knew that fate was unpredictable. Having survived many battles of life and death, her most frequent saying was that anything could happen in the next second, so she remained calm.

Even so, she still wanted to say something at this moment.

Fate, you've gone a bit too far...

"Wait, wait..."

Valkyrie stood up, rubbing her forehead. She paced back and forth with her long legs still bearing clear traces of alcohol. Several times she tentatively took a few steps toward Li Yili before retreating. In the end, Valkyrie couldn't hold back any longer.

"You went to Thorn City... for this?!"

Valkyrie Lei also realized what was happening, but instead of blaming Li Yili, she pointed at Valkyrie Yuan's nose and yelled, "I told you from the beginning not to let this bastard go to Thorn City! And you! Not only did you not stop him, you even helped him! Now look what happened!"

"We've become accomplices!"

Valkyrie's lips twitched violently, but she really couldn't find any reason to refute it.

All I can say is that Valhae Rae understands Levi Esti Richard better.

“Of course not, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision,” Li Yili shrugged. “My only purpose in going to Thorn City was to investigate the local ecology.”

"So you... stole... the princess of Eden?" Valkyrie felt a wave of dizziness.

Is this supposed to be an ecological survey? This is downright ecological destruction!

“I think using a gun would be more appropriate, but, well, it’s about the same situation. Anyway, I’ve brought out Nakya. But I have a small suggestion: don’t go near Thorn City for the next ten years, and if possible, never go near Thorn City.”

“What did you do to Thorn City…” Valkyr Iris’s eyes twitched wildly.

"It's just an ecological survey, not some riddle that those guys keep spouting, about the exiles before and after."

"You're just investigating why Thorn City has become the best place to never go near!"

"Anyway, it turned out like that, do you know why it worked?" Li Yili shrugged and put her suitcase on the ground.

Nakya landed lightly on her white feet, tossed her long silver hair, and then put her hands on her hips.

“I think I know the reason,” Valkyrie said, raising her hand to her forehead and taking a few steps back before sitting back down on the single sofa.

Legend has it that all the residents of Thorn City are trapped in a dream from which they will never wake up. As part of the legend, she naturally knows the truth of this matter, which is why she skips the shock and goes straight to the stage of "I'm numb, let's just destroy it already."

She didn't even bother to ask Li Yili how she got Nakya's body moving; anyway... it was already moving, so what could she do?

"Ahem—Although I was interrupted, let me formally introduce Princess Nakya, who will serve as the human engine for this diving operation."

Li Yili made way for him with impeccable gentlemanly manners.

Nakya awkwardly bowed, clutching her tattered veil.

"Human flesh, cough cough—with that little frame?" Valhae Rae coughed, then crossed her arms and sneered, "You think you can just bring up Eden's name..."

Valkyrie's cold smile gradually froze, because the seemingly petite and delicate Nakya lifted the single sofa to the side with her bare hands.

This is not the kind of power that the delicate Sleeping Beauty princess should possess.

“A chosen one of the gods…” Valkyrie patted her forehead.

All the irrationality can be explained by the Chosen Ones. This world is that simple yet absurd. As for why Nakia is a Chosen One... instead of asking that question, it's better to ask Li Yili why she can control Nakia, who is a Chosen One.

Valkyrie's gaze lingered on the thumb ring on Li Yili's left hand.

All questions can be explained by the legacy of the ancient gods; the world is that simple yet absurd.

"So, aren't you going to explain the effect of the ring on your hand?" Valkyrie took a sip of wine, a glint in her eyes.

“Simply put…” Li Yili’s lips curled up slightly, “I can use this ring to build a bridge to influence exhausted people. The more tired they are, the deeper the influence will be, and I can even achieve pseudo-direct control over their bodies.”

"exhausted……"

After muttering something, Valkyrie's eyes widened, and she raised her hand to grip Li Yili's arm tightly, glaring at her. "What did you do to me!?"

The inheritance wasn't so friendly as to introduce itself the moment it was received; all its effects were experimentally determined. So how did Li Yili experiment with the ring's effects? And how did she determine that it could achieve pseudo-direct control over the body?

She was the subject of the experiment.

"Hmph—I..." Li Yili sneered and spread her arms, "I made you wash all the dishes."

Chapter 117 Do you know how much sweat I've shed!

"You bastard!"

Valkyrie grabbed Li Yili by the collar and lifted her up forcefully, looking furious as if Li Yili had done something heinous to her. But in reality, Li Yili was just controlling Valkyrie's body to make her wash the dishes.

"I was wondering why you hadn't washed the dishes all this time, but the next day they were all clean and sitting there. I thought you got up in the middle of the night to wash them!"

"Do you know how hard it is to supervise you doing the dishes while I'm exhausted?" Li Yili raised her hand and poked her head. "Do you know how much sweat I shed to make you so tired that you can control yourself with a ring?"

"Shut up—don't make it sound like something that makes you happy is tiring and painful! You're clearly having a great time!"

“When you do something for a certain purpose, even if you like that behavior... you will feel extremely tired and even annoyed,” Li Yili put his hand down and placed it on the hand that Valhou Lei was holding his collar. “But luckily... I quite like having you do the dishes. By the way, not only the dishes, but also the laundry and mopping. Two pleasures combined—it’s great.”

"what----"

Valkyrie lowered her head, looking as unwilling as a passionate protagonist who had been manipulated by an evil villain to harm his companions.

But she was just

She just doesn't want to do housework.

"You bastard... I was careless before, but starting today I'll deal with you seriously. Don't think you can still make me tired and be manipulated by you like before!"

"Are you sure..." Li Yili's eyes sharpened in an instant, "Then I'll go all out too."

"Um... young people shouldn't be too indulgent; they should be more restrained..."

Upon hearing Li Yili say that she would go all out, Valhou Lei's momentum faltered, and she awkwardly straightened Li Yili's collar with a forced smile.

"Don't you have important things to do these days? Don't waste your time and energy on such trivial matters. Get some rest."

Li Yili raised his eyes but did not take the opportunity to suggest that Valkyrie Lei do housework, because he knew very well that doing so would result in him and Valkyrie Lei dying together. As a Valkyrie, Valkyrie Lei was serious, and he was confident of winning, but he was not confident that he would be able to travel normally the next day.

"Alright—by the way, Secretary Alma, what kind of position are you in?"

Alma, who was huddled in the corner of the sofa with her ears covered and eyes closed, shuddered violently. Even with her eyes closed, she could clearly feel three and a half blinding gazes falling on her.

After hesitating for a long time, Alma cautiously opened her eyes. "I... I have a feeling that from the second half onwards, it wasn't something I should be able to hear."

Alma couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that from the moment Li Yili pulled out Princess Nakya of Eden, she already knew things she shouldn't have known and was drawn into trouble.

Thinking about it carefully... when he was selling local specialties, this guy definitely made such a big move on purpose, just to let her see a part of Nakya!

“How could that be—you’re my secretary,” Li Yili said, placing her hand on Nakya’s shoulder. “As my secretary, it’s perfectly normal for you to know some of the secrets of people you can’t bear to see.”

Alma's lips twitched.

Princess Nakya of Eden's secret is no ordinary secret.

“So you understand now, Secretary Alma? Your job is to rationally arrange the benefits brought by these shady secrets while keeping them hidden,” Li Yili said with a bright smile. “Now that we have a powerful and stable power source, I don’t need to remind you of the rest of the work, right?”

“I understand—” Alma’s expression was somewhat stiff.

Indeed, with Princess Nakya as a stable and powerful power source, the problem of the submarine's size was immediately solved. Her job was simple yet tedious: as a client with zero professional knowledge, she had to get those people to build the submarine according to Li Yili's blueprints.

If it's just about making parts, it seems like a bunch of submarines could indeed be made in the next few days. As for any flaws... the Chosen Ones and the Legacy of the Ancient Gods can solve all the problems.

"Speaking of which, it's getting late today. Why don't you stay here tonight, Secretary Alma?"

"I won't trouble you any further—I need to go and tell the mechanics to hurry up and make the parts!" Alma suddenly stood up and bowed to Li Yili.

Now she just wants to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible; if she stays any longer, she might not be able to leave.

“Miss Alma has also had quite a bit to drink; let me see her off.”

Valkyrie lowered her arm, stood up, and draped a coat over her shoulders.

“This isn’t quite right,” Alma’s smile faltered slightly. “Your outfit… is a bit…”

"It's okay, I'll just take you to the bus stop. There won't be anyone else on this route."

Valkyrie smiled in a friendly manner, but her smile carried an undeniable air of authority.

Already feeling guilty, Elma had no choice but to nod and agree to go out with Valhae to avoid being forced to stay.

Li Yili picked up her water glass and held it up towards the closed door.

Valkyrie glanced at the gate on tiptoe, then tilted her chin and circled around Nakya. She reached out and stroked Nakya's silver-white hair before clicking her tongue a few times. "No wonder she's a pampered princess. The best resources of the entire country are used to raise her. The thought of her ending up in your hands... it's truly a bittersweet feeling. This is probably fate."

“It’s just the body,” Li Yili said, setting her water glass aside and pulling out the Thorn King’s Diary from her inner pocket, tossing it to Valhae Lei.

“Hey…you’ve brought back quite a lot of stuff,” Valhae Rae said with interest as she flipped through the Thorn King’s diary. “No one else knows that you brought all this from Thorn City, right?”

Li Yili tilted her head and thought for a while before shrugging her shoulders. "What do you think?"

“That’s true. If others knew, you’d be hanging in the middle of Instas Square right now,” Valkyrie closed the Thorn King’s Diary and waved it at Li Yili. “So, do you still need this thing? If not, how about giving it to me? In return, I can take care of a third of the dishes that need washing.”
