Chapter 476: Otto, Otto, you really are my money tree!

The "Ego" explained, "This device is sustaining your life. He seems to have healed all your injuries—including that one."

Upon hearing this, the "Super Ego" slightly softened, "Perhaps this was his way of atoning."

But the "Id" scoffed at the idea and retorted disdainfully, "More like imprisonment, if you ask me."]

----------------------------------

[[Attempt to Leave]

The "Super Ego" reminded, "This life support pod can only be opened through a terminal input command."

The "Id" chuckled, "Haha, that's no problem in front of your fists!"

Then, "Fu Hua" flexed her hands, clenched her fists, and felt the solid, reassuring response from her fingers and bones, as if she possessed infinite strength.

It was clear her body was in excellent condition at the moment.

The "Ego" sighed, "Do you even remember the last time you were this healthy? Five hundred years ago? Maybe. It's been far too long."

Elysia, 〈Fu Hua obviously has super strong recovery abilities, how could it be like this...〉

Mei, 〈So the class president has been in an injured state all this time...〉

Bronya, 〈The class president in her prime—Bronya can't even imagine it.〉

Fu Shi playfully wiped her nose, 〈Didn't I see it in the video? That old antique is just slightly inferior to me.〉

Kiana, 〈If the class president heals from her injuries, wouldn't that mean I can never get promoted to A-rank Valkyrie and will have to stay B-rank forever?!〉

[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua adjusted her glasses and said, 〈Uh, Kiana, your assessment opponents aren't necessarily all me.〉

["This is the real you! Now do it!"]

At the command of the "Id"—

"Fu Hua" gathered all her strength into her fists and punched without hesitation. With the sound of shattering glass, the life support pod was easily broken.

In an instant, the thick fluid that had tightly wrapped around "Fu Hua's" body gushed out like a dam bursting, flowing completely onto the floor.

As the liquid left, it took all the pressure with it. Every inch of skin and every bone felt a sense of unfettered freedom, an unprecedented ease and comfort.

After a brief pause, "Fu Hua" stepped out of the broken life support pod.

At that moment, a familiar voice reached her ears.

"My old friend!—You're finally awake."

Following the sound to the doorway, she saw a blond man approaching with a relaxed smile.

Just then, the three voices in "Fu Hua's" mind sounded again.

The "Ego" spoke calmly and clearly, "That's Otto Apocalypse."

Then, the "Id" commented with a trace of emotion, "Your relationship with him... is complicated."

Finally, the "Super Ego" added, "He calls himself your friend, but he deceived you."]

[Miss Lily] Otto, 〈Celestial Immortal, I did not lie.〉

Fu Shi, 〈You're asking for a beating, aren't you!〉

[Miss Lily] Otto laughed awkwardly, already familiar with Fu Shi's temper.

He quickly said, 〈Just a joke, just a joke. The great Lady Herrscher of Sentience is generous and surely won't stoop to my level, right?〉

Fu Shi shook her head and said, 〈No, I still want to hit you, but...〉

Then, as if recalling something, a sly glint flashed in Fu Shi's eyes, and she said, 〈Anyone interested in a proxy punching service? 1000 yen per punch, get a free kick with 20 punches. Honest business, after-sales video guaranteed, once-in-a-lifetime deal!〉

Fu Shi, 〈"Payment Code"〉

[Shenzhou Tablet] Fu Hua, 〈Fu Shi, no matter what, Otto is still the Overseer of Schicksal.〉

Tesla, 〈I'm absolutely not sending money.〉

Einstein, 〈Same here.〉

Siegfried, 〈Exactly, exactly.〉

[Sit-up's King] Welt, 〈True, I want to defeat Otto fair and square! But then again, what do I do if there's no internet in the Sea of Quanta, help!〉

Kevin, 〈Emmm, what if I don't have a phone?〉

Gray Serpent, 〈Rest assured, Lord.〉

...

Ding, 200000 yen transfer received from "Doctor Lobsterhead"

Ding, 200000 yen transfer received from "Doctor Chicken Coophead"

Ding, 20000 yen transfer received from "I'm about to launch a badass attack"

Ding, 20000 yen transfer received from "Doctor Lobsterhead" Note, for Joachim's share

Ding, 2000000 yen transfer received from "Gray Serpent"

...

Hearing the phone repeatedly announcing new payments, Fu Shi's eyes went wide in disbelief, the initial hopelessness quickly replaced by shock.

But she soon recovered, placing her hands on her hips, throwing her head back, and laughing out loud,

"Otto, Otto, you really are my money tree! Hahaha... I'm rich, I'm really rich this time! Hahahaha!!!"

Just then, the crisp notification sounds continued in the background.

Ding, 10000 yen transfer received from "Loves Bitter Melon Juice"

The moment this new payment hit her ears, Fu Shi froze in place.

For a moment, it felt like a swarm of bees was buzzing in her brain, making her wonder if she was hallucinating.

But she quickly snapped out of it, reached for her phone, tapped the screen frantically, and locked her eyes on the transaction log.

Clearly displayed on it was the 10000 yen transferred by "Loves Bitter Melon Juice." Fu Shi's eyes widened as she muttered,

"This... is this right? Could it be that Teresa accidentally hit the wrong button?"

After a moment, Fu Shi dismissed that thought.

Then, a dazzling smile bloomed on her face like spring sunshine, her lips lifting so high they nearly reached her ears. "Hahahahaha…"

Fu Shi couldn't stop laughing, mumbling as she did, "She's killing me with kindness. Otto, I bet you never expected to have such a filial granddaughter!…"

However, more notification sounds rang out, interrupting Fu Shi's laughter with a cough as she looked at her phone in confusion.

Ding, 1000 yen transfer received from "Wants Mei's Juice"(Kiana)

Ding, 1000 yen transfer received from "Ural Silver Wolf"

...

One transfer after another kept popping up, each representing another punch for Otto—maybe even more…

Among all the notifications, one stood out.

Its appearance made Fu Shi's eyes go wide, mouth agape, face full of shock and disbelief.

Ding, 5000 yen transfer received from "Flourishing Blossoms" (Old Antique)

Fu Shi stood frozen like a statue, staring at the transfer record from the "Old Antique," not daring to blink as if it might disappear.

After a long pause, she finally blinked and gasped.

"Hsssss—"

Fu Shi murmured, "My impression of that honest old antique was way too deep... I almost forgot, she has a scheming side too! Hahaha…"

At this thought, Fu Shi burst out laughing again, her voice filled with both surprise and delight.

Then, Fu Lin's slightly envious voice echoed in her mind, "Fu Shi, shouldn't I get half of that money?"

Fu Shi agreed cheerfully, "Sure! But you have to come with me to Schicksal HQ and help me beat up Otto. Otherwise, no way you're getting a free cut, okay?"
