"I am Bai Bi, a servant of the Weapon Princess under the command of Lord of Soldiers. By the order of the Lord of Soldiers, I have been sent to visit your esteemed place, hoping to discuss a potential cooperation with Mr. Zhou."

The visitor spoke in a very formal manner.

Bai Bi was a young girl resembling a delicate jewel, wearing a large hooded cloak.

She lifted the hood, revealing soft hair and two rabbit ears, carrying a small, somewhat rusted metallic coffin on her back.

Upon seeing the coffin, Zhou Yi's pupils slightly contracted.

He immediately regained his composure and politely said, "Miss Bai Bi, hello. Welcome to Jade City, would you like something to drink? Tea?"

"I'll leave it to the host."

Bai Bi, however, kept gazing intently at a can of ancient motor oil on the shelf.

Although puzzled, Zhou Yi handed her the can of oil.

The rabbit-eared girl instantly opened the pull tab and took a big gulp of oil, showing a look of relief.

"Thank you, this tastes better!"

"Miss Bai Bi, you have come a long way, but this item on your back... you may put it down to make sitting easier,"

Zhou Yi said.

"Indeed."

Saying so, she took off the coffin chained to her, placing it aside.

Bai Bi then sat down in the chair, saying, "Mr. Zhou, this time, the Lord of Soldiers hopes to purchase a batch of Floating Hearts from you."

"Of course, no problem."

Zhou Yi nodded, "How many do you need? Our current production hasn't ramped up yet, and orders are coming from all sides, so we don't have much quantity."

"The more, the better."

Bai Bi said, "We plan to start with buying 1000 to test them."

Zhou Yi asked Red Kestrel next to him, "How much inventory do we currently have available?"

"81, including 2 defective ones, 30 undergoing re-testing, 20 have been pre-ordered, and the rest are set aside for company emergencies."

The drone said, "Only 29 are available."

Zhou Yi thought for a moment, "Then let's distribute half, give you 14. Once our production increases, it will be much better."

Bai Bi appeared slightly troubled, "That's too few. If I only take back 14, it really won't fulfill the requirements…"

"I need at least 100 to make it a tenth."

Zhou Yi had no other choice but to say, "Then you'll have to wait here for a week, to see if we can redistribute any more."

She stayed for that reason.

For convenience, Zhou Yi asked Qian Su to take care of the hospitality.

The next day, Qian Su came to report what she had found.

"Chairman, Bai Bi is very sensitive about weapons; she and I have been discussing weapons all along, and she knows every detail of the equipment in my inventory, and she can determine their specific functions and operations after tinkering briefly."

"However, she is not human, only resembles one."

"But she isn't a Mechanical Life nor from the Guangna Species, because she doesn't breathe, though she can eat as well. However, this isn't a necessary activity."

Zhou Yi had noticed this as well.

He had monitored Bai Bi with [Alert] and found that she didn't emit any light, just like an ordinary person.

The rusty coffin on her back, however, emitted a dangerous rainbow shimmer—it was actually a Light Core Body.

But what exactly was inside couldn't be confirmed.

"Bai Bi said that the Weapon Princess is the form of various weapons after being endowed with life."

"Her essence is a weapon, which reveals its true form during combat."

Zhou Yi remembered that during the past battles against the Heavenly People, the three main forces were the Dawn Guard of the Black Emperor, the Star Core Matrix of the old king, and the Weapon Princess of the Warlord.

The Weapon Princess truly is a humanoid weapon.

No wonder she drinks motor oil.

"As for the coffin on her back, it contains something of the Warlord. However, the Warlord did not allow it to be opened, and didn't tell her what it was, so she doesn't know either."

Zhou Yi was taken aback, "She revealed all that?"

"She did."

Qian Su also looked somewhat puzzled, "It went so smoothly that I suspect I was being used by her. But then during our chat, I learned that it's just her character, she isn't the type to keep secrets. She also mentioned that the Warlord had considered all this."

"So it's likely that the Warlord is showing goodwill on his side, indirectly informing us some intelligence."

Zhou Yi nodded.

That must be it.

On the third day, Bai Bi suddenly rushed to Jade City with her coffin in tow.

"Mr. Zhou, I forgot to mention an important matter!"

"Please tell."

"There has been damage to the Aliens on the Lord of Soldiers' side, some of which are completely unusable. We've tried many methods but can't repair them. Could you go to Golden Elephant Valley and fix them? We will certainly not let the price be a disadvantage for you."

This was also mentioned by Fang Qiao, the Weapon Hunter.

Zhou Yi could only decline again, citing busyness.

Forbidden Continent is a destination to visit, but not yet.

There's currently the threat of the Mechanical and Electrical City Group nearby; he must remain in Sand Port.

"I see... I also understand that there was just a battle with the Joint Guard here, and the situation is still tense, you certainly can't leave."

Bai Bi said seriously, "But if you have time, please come over. Our Weapon Princess will definitely ensure your safety."

"I will visit after the situation stabilizes here."

Zhou Yi responded solemnly.

The other party immediately showed a smile.

No matter how you looked at it, Bai Bi seemed like a lively young girl, it's just that her rabbit ears were a bit too long.

Zhou Yi pointed at the rabbit ears, "Are these your ears, or equipment?"

"They are antennas, antennas."

Bai Bi pinched her long ears with her hand, "The exterior is a protective cover, so it looks less strange."

It turned out to be two antennas.

Zhou Yi suddenly realized.

The other party also noticed his right arm, "Oh? Your hand is broken? Is this a common prosthetic? May I take a look?"

"Of course."

The rabbit-eared Weapon Princess pinched Zhou Yi's prosthetic right hand, skillfully rotated and disassembled it, cleaned the dust inside with a small brush she carried, and applied a milky white grease.

"This is our homemade silicone grease, the Weapon Princesses use it too."

She explained, "Silicone grease can improve heat dissipation, prevent corrosion, shock, and dust. The core component inside the prosthetic is a Light Imprint which has high usage. Applying silicone grease in specific areas can enhance stability and reduce delays. Give it a try."

Zhou Yi tried it.

Indeed.

The previous dullness was significantly reduced, and it seemed that the entire prosthetic arm responded much more sensitively.

"Not bad for an expert."

Zhou Yi exclaimed, "Are all Weapon Princesses such weapon experts?"

"Of course, we are weapons ourselves, so we also need to maintain, repair, and even partially upgrade."

Bai Bi puffed up her chest slightly, said proudly: "My specialty happens to be maintenance and storage, so I could spot a little problem with your prosthetic. But overall, it's still quite new, and can last at least 3-5 years. With proper maintenance, using it for 10 to 15 years is also normal."

"Mr. Zhou, your prosthetic is well-crafted, but its functionality is too simple and completely unable to match your identity. If you visit Golden Elephant Valley, Lord of Soldiers will surely be able to craft a brand-new prosthetic for you, at least of A grade, although it cannot compare to the original body, the strength will definitely be much higher."

Zhou Yi smiled, "Definitely."

"I see your arm was severed, probably cut by a Light Core Body."

Bai Bi continued, "The Light Core Body possesses special power elements that can lock the body like chains. Removing this element, your flesh can grow back."

Zhou Yi nodded, "Do you have a way?"

"I can't."

The rabbit-eared girl shook her head, "But the Lord of Soldiers can do it. You help us repair the Alien, and he will definitely find a way to heal your hand."

Zhou Yi thought to himself.

It seems that a trip to Golden Elephant Valley was indeed necessary soon.

He couldn't breakthrough to Light Core Body in a short time, turning to the Warlord for healing was the fastest way to recover his arm.

While the Warlord's faction was fanatic about collecting weapons, it was always known for being unobtrusive and keeping out of trouble in the outside world, which was indeed more reliable than Star Axis and Heavenly Kingdom.

"There's another thing, it's a personal request."

Bai Bi said, "I want to use myself as a sample to test the compatibility between the Floating Heart and Weapon Princess. Could you ask the technicians to install it for me?"

"That's certainly no problem."

In fact.

Zhou Yi was also very interested in the structure of the Weapon Princess.

The chief engineers of the Floating Heart, Liu Fusheng and Chen Ruixiang, came to Jade City with the equipment, and Qian Su was there to act as their assistant.

Bai Bi unscrewed her head from her neck twice, took it off, then pulled out a silver metal plate from inside her neck, saying, "This is my Light Imprint Spine, install it here."

So, the two elderly engineers got busy.

Throughout the process, Bai Bi was also actively discussing with them.

"This columnar structure suits us well; it can be directly fixed on the spine. Use oil for energy... we can make two external oil tanks to improve endurance."

"That place won't work. That Light Imprint interface is needed to connect to weapon peripherals. Testing weapons is one of our tasks, so we need to leave enough interfaces."

"Can two hearts be installed together? I see there are two settings, right? Please turn on the high-intensity setting. I think this works better and I can withstand it. According to Mechanical City standards, I'm at least A-grade strength, so please don't worry, and increase the intensity."

…

While they were discussing the installation, Zhou Yi was also observing.

What Bai Bi displayed was merely a segment of metal spine; one could not see more detailed things inside. As a layman, he could only watch the excitement.

The process was not smooth, and various problems kept arising, resulting in installation and debugging failures.

Everyone was patiently continuing to try.

Suddenly a voice popped into Zhou Yi's head.

"President, I've made contact with the thing in that coffin."

It was mic master.

Zhou Yi asked indifferently, "What happened?"

"The thing inside is a Concept Life, but it has fallen into a very peculiar state, undergoing constant changes. This change is an unstoppable movement."

"It is a very special Concept Life, it calls itself Lady Luck, one side is good fortune, the other is bad luck. These two states keep switching, thus causing the probability and nature of events around it to alter…"

Zhou Yi frowned.

Concept Life [Lady Luck] was kept locked in an Iron Coffin by the Warlord.
