Deleting the projection model took a full day and night.

With Aya's help, Fengshen II was finally completed.

Next came another round of performance testing, including extreme conditions such as high temperature, extreme cold, wind tunnels, thunderstorms, and heavy fog.

After repeated tests, every overlooked flaw was identified and fixed.

Overall, Rimuru was very satisfied with Fengshen II's performance. Compared to Fengshen I, its power and stability had improved dramatically.

In particular, after using new energy sources and the [Multiple Barrier] system, its performance had increased almost exponentially.

Aya: "Master, congratulations on successfully completing the design of Fengshen II!"

Rimuru: "Thanks, Aya. You also deserve half the credit. I'll buy you a supercomputer in the future so you can have your own body!"

Aya: "Really? I love you, Master!"

Hearing Aya's cute loli voice, Rimuru suddenly felt all fatigue disappear, becoming unusually energized.

A mecha girl was indeed an infinitely noble dream in life!

For a mechanical girl, she could even kill Thanos—so what did exhaustion matter?

As a slime, Rimuru's body didn't feel fatigue anyway; it was more of a psychological effect.

Looking at the hamburger and milk the chef brought over, Rimuru couldn't help but shake her head. Although she was open to all kinds of food, eating hamburgers all the time was getting a bit boring.

It seemed she needed to hire a chef skilled in Chinese cuisine.

The moment that thought appeared in her mind, she was startled.

In the past, in order to save money, she had once eaten instant noodles for an entire month straight.

Now, just for a proper Chinese meal, her first thought was to hire a chef. She had really been corrupted by money!

On this matter, Rimuru only had one thing to say: if money was going to corrupt innocent people, then please corrupt her thoroughly!

"Oh right, help me order titanium-gold alloy, high-strength fiberglass, 3D printers, particle colliders, infrared sensors, and supercomputers."

Aya: "Yes. The order has been placed. However, Master, I just checked your account—you still have 1 billion USD remaining."

"W-What?!"

Rimuru was shocked. The inheritance she had received not long ago had nearly 10 billion dollars… and now, in such a short time, only 1 billion remained?

Her throat went dry.

"Aya, check where my money went."

Aya: "Master, most of the expenses were used on supercomputers, the villa, and various mech materials."

Rimuru asked in confusion: "Didn't I choose installment payments?"

Aya: "Master, this is the remaining balance after installment payments. Installing a supercomputer alone includes not just the machine, but installation, maintenance, and a series of procedures—altogether about one million dollars. Because we have the reactor, we did save a large amount on electricity costs."

Stab!

Rimuru felt as if a knife had pierced her chest. Damn, why was everything so expensive?!

So that meant her assets were basically negative now?!

After a long silence, Rimuru spoke:

"Aya… you are already a mature AI. It's time you learned to earn money for the household. Let's start by learning stock trading."

Aya: "..."

Since crossing over, apart from her initial inheritance, Rimuru had never worried about money.

Unexpectedly, in less than half a year, her net worth had turned negative.

Wasn't one dollar equal to six yuan? Why was it still so useless?!

With the Great Sage and Aya, she wouldn't lose money in something like stock trading.

But things like stocks didn't show results quickly.

"Great Sage, tell me how to get rich quickly!"

Pfft!

Rimuru almost spat out blood. She never expected the usually wise Great Sage to suggest something so outrageous.

"A gentleman loves wealth, but obtains it wisely… turning money into other money…"

Rimuru: "..."

"So what about kidnapping Tony Stark?! That would just get me killed, wouldn't it?!"

"Stop it! I want a fast, profitable method that doesn't break criminal law!"

Then Rimuru suddenly laughed loudly:

"Alright, I understand. Starting tomorrow—no, starting tonight—the age of Robin Hood begins!"

Robin Hood was a legendary 12th-century English hero, the most famous thief in Western history, known for stealing from the rich to help the poor.

Stealing from criminals' money to help the poor Rimuru? No problem at all!

Since they were going to act like Robin Hood, they needed a proper outfit first!

In shining silver armor, the war goddess would always be just and righteous!

If she was going to play Robin Hood, then this look was absolutely perfect!

"Great Sage, I want a sturdy bow, arrows, a windproof cloak, and a mask."

Rimuru immediately reported the required equipment.

"Copy" here mainly meant that these weapons and clothing were modeled after a certain superhero from village memories.

A few minutes later, everything she wanted was ready.

It had to be said—the combination of Great Sage and Predator was truly terrifying.

After trying the equipment, Rimuru felt excellent.

Now all that was left was waiting for nightfall.

Looking at the time, it was still early. Waiting was boring.

"Aya, find cute videos of Little Spider."

"Yes, Master."

In seconds, various funny and cute short videos of Peter in women's clothing appeared before her eyes.

Rimuru burst out laughing on the spot.

These videos were truly spiritual food for relaxation and killing time. Her understanding of Obadiah was deepening.

How could anyone bear to delete such wonderful things?!

However, unlike Obadiah, Rimuru knew how to share!

"Aya, turn these videos into animated emoji packs."

"Understood."

With Aya's excellent editing skills, the videos were quickly turned into super cute animated memes.

The more Rimuru watched, the funnier they became.

"Upload them to Facebook. I am the world's number one princess. Miss Medai will bring you a cool summer!"

Aya: "Master, you don't have a Facebook account yet. Shall I register one for you?"

Rimuru: "No need. Why register when we can do it for free? Aya, find the top 100 most popular, most influential loli accounts—and send them Miss Medai's blessings!"

"Yes, Master!"

Aya acted instantly, infiltrating Facebook's official site and deploying a push malware program. The moment those accounts logged in, the push would appear.

"Little Spider, Little Spider… I've helped you become famous. You're welcome!"
