Chapter 24: Chapter 24: The Bio-Mechanical Princess
After three days and nights of travel, Luo Sheng and Alice finally arrived at a secluded town located 1,000 kilometers away from the Detroit city-state, a place that was the branch of the Resistance Organization.
As soon as Dr. Jack got out of the car, a little girl ran up to him. "Dad!"
She hugged Dr. Jack, and behind her was an older woman, who also looked at Dr. Jack.
"Who are they?" the woman asked, looking at Luo Sheng and Alice.
"They are my guests," Dr. Jack replied succinctly.
And so, Luo Sheng and Alice settled into Dr. Jack's real home.
At the same time, Dr. Jack introduced them to the Resistance Committee, the central management body of the Resistance Organization, which was akin to the brain of the whole organization.
Dr. Jack specifically told the members that Luo Sheng had single-handedly wiped out a black hawk squad from the Nasdaq Group's security forces in the Detroit city-state.
All the members looked at Luo Sheng with newfound respect.
They knew that the strength of a single squad from Nasdaq's security was enough to rival a whole company of the Resistance Organization, with heavy weaponry, explosives, machine guns, thermal imaging devices, and other advanced equipment.
As a result, Luo Sheng and Alice began living there, helping the Resistance Organization eradicate nearby villages of criminal gangs and robbers.
In the daily combat tasks, Alice's abilities also kept progressing. She had now mastered 20% of her body's capabilities.
Her super bio-mechanical body also underwent modifications, making her brain more active, her motor nerves more sensitive, and the forgotten art of mechanical jiujitsu continuously resurfacing in her mind, making her even more lethal.
Of course, her hair turned white overnight, transforming her into a white-haired girl, which caught Luo Sheng off guard. But it also made her even more beautiful.
Alice, however, was not confident. "Do I look uglier than before?"
Luo Sheng shook his head, still gently patting her head. "No, to me, your white hair is even more beautiful, like an angel."
"Really?"
Alice's eyes widened, as pure as a blank sheet of paper.
Perhaps due to her memory loss, or because she had been abandoned for too long, she was returning to her roots.
Luo Sheng gently kissed her forehead. "Really, I never lie."
Then he handed her a monomolecular line.
"I really like this," Alice said, holding the two shimmering monomolecular lines.
The long, narrow lines shimmered with all the colors of the rainbow.
The monomolecular line instantly merged into her arm from her wrist. When she needed it, the line would automatically emerge from her wrist. With Alice's super energy supply, the destructive power of the monomolecular line increased.
Luo Sheng had spent three months in this world, watching Alice grow stronger. At the same time, Dr. Jack helped Luo Sheng modify his mech, shrinking it while increasing its flexibility and defensive power.
Three months later, the time to part had come.
Alice gazed at him longingly. "Do you really have to leave?"
"Because I..."
Before Luo Sheng could finish, he realized that he couldn't say the words "I don't belong to this world" out loud. It was forbidden to mention anything related to the card world and cardmasters.
Luo Sheng could only helplessly pat her head. "I have no choice but to leave. Maybe when I become strong enough, you'll know the truth."
"I'll get stronger too," Alice said firmly.
"Yes, when you face difficulties, I'll come back. The next time we meet, it might be when I help you recover your memories," Luo Sheng continued, stroking her little face.
"I'll wait for you."
After saying this, Alice suddenly kissed him deeply.
Her soft lips lingered, unwilling to part. Only when Luo Sheng felt like he was about to suffocate did she reluctantly lower her head.
Luo Sheng also gasped for air, his face slightly flushed. It was too stimulating!
After all, she was a mechanical princess I modified along the way.
Though he wished to remain in this gentle moment, time would not allow it. He had been here for three months, but in the cardmaster world, six days had passed.
And he had not forgotten about his battle with Xu Tianai.
Later, Luo Sheng found a secluded place, and with a thought, he slowly withdrew from the card world.
The battle princess card fell into his hand, and the world's image didn't stop; it continued to evolve in his mind.
…
After bidding farewell to Luo Sheng, Alice stood on the town's earth wall every day, gazing at the horizon. Of course, she hadn't forgotten her goal of getting stronger.
She followed the Resistance Organization in eliminating nearby criminal gangs and mechanized marauders.
In each battle, her control over her body improved dramatically, now reaching an astounding 30%. Especially after she started using the monomolecular line, her combat power soared. She completed all tasks with ease, earning more and more trust from the Resistance Organization.
As a result, half a month later, she became the captain of a special small squad in the Resistance Organization.
Then one day, as usual, Alice stood on the town's wall, gazing at the horizon.
Suddenly, thick smoke appeared in the distance. Using a high-magnification telescope, she discovered that it was an armored army from Sky City slowly advancing.
The alarm bells rang throughout the town, and panic spread among the townspeople.
Alice furrowed her brows, still staring intently.
At this moment, the image of the card froze.
The card's depiction of Alice transformed from her half-mechanical, half-human form into a fully human version of Alice dressed in mechanical armor. Her white hair flowed gracefully, her figure was stunningly proportioned, and she held two vibrant, rainbow-colored whips in her hands.

Luo Sheng stared at the warm bronze card, his eyes wide. "This change is unexpected. It actually upgraded by four stars to become an extraordinary card."
He hadn't expected that the longer he stayed in Alice's world, the stronger the card would become.
Mysterious energy suddenly surged through his limbs, gathering in his brain, continuously refining the spiritual crystal. The bronze part of the spiritual crystal began to shed.
1%... 2%... until the mysterious energy helped him refine up to 5%, then stopped.
At this point, Luo Sheng's spiritual crystal had reached 31%.
He had officially become a Bronze 4-Star Cardmaster!
