Einstein: A Herrscher? Nothing Special
—This sight reminded Shibao of Mobius from his memories.
However, Planck was unaware of the Shibao's intentions, so he simply raised one finger on his own.
"...Miss Fu Hua, first...I must remind you, this is my home, and I have indeed been staying at home obediently. You all came here on your own."
"Eh... this, this..."
It seems, it appears, that's indeed the case?
Planck looked at the bewildered Shibao and a slight smile appeared on his lips. Then, he raised his second finger.
"Secondly... could you please recall your age, Miss Fu Hua? According to the information we at Anti-Entropy have gathered about the 'Shenzhou Immortal,' Miss Fu Hua, you are at least 5,000 years old—and that's no more than that."
That's right, it's more than that, we need to add a zero.
Fifty thousand years old.
Planck's sudden revelation left Shibao completely bewildered.
So... the old lady was actually me?!
"So, is it possible that Ms. Fu Hua, who is at least five thousand years old and whose age is not limited to five thousand, can stay at home obediently and not interfere with the romance between me and your teacher?"
Planck used the same tactics against him!
The effect is outstanding!
Shibao has fallen!
"Gurgle..."
Playing the words is certainly not a strong suit for Shibao.
Moreover, Planck had taught quite a few students in his life, so dealing with a "little kid" like Shibao was no problem at all.
"Alright, alright."
Liu Bai patted Shibao's head, which made Shibao feel a little better. At the same time, he looked at Planck provocatively, "Do you have the ability to make Teacher Liu do this?"
Then...
Planck silently took Liu Bai's arm, his massive breasts pressing against hers.
(... those two lumps are as filthy as Mobius's )
Fortunately, it is still slightly smaller in scale than Mobius.
"How old are you two?"
Liu Bai wasn't really stupid. As things progressed, he naturally realized the two were fighting in the shadows, so he immediately pulled his hand out and gave each of them a sharp rap on the head.
"This matter ends here."
"Really, but since the Alliance Leader says so, let's do it this way."
"I'll do whatever you say, Teacher Liu..." Shibao glanced at Planck with a wronged and displeased expression.
If you didn't know Teacher Liu, I would have changed your consciousness right now!
You green-haired old lady, just like Mobius!
... Although his personality seems to be much better than that guy Mobius.
"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."
Let's get back to the main topic.
Shibao felt his teacher's stern gaze fall on him again.
"Speak, Hua, what were you doing just now?"
"...Eh?" Shibao shrank back. "Um... Teacher Liu, didn't you say that was the end of it?"
"The awkwardness between the two of you up to this point wasn't caused by you—you brat, you've learned to lie to your teacher now, haven't you? You've got some nerve, are you planning to become my teacher tomorrow and commit some kind of betrayal?"
"No, no!"
Shibao quickly denied it.
Although the jockey, Meizu, did have a tiny bit of that idea...
"I'm doing something good! It really is something good... But then again... haven't I already graduated?"
"... You graduated back then, but you haven't now." Liu Bai looked at Shibao with a meaningful gaze.
Shibao, who had expected to be reprimanded, was taken aback. She felt that Liu Bai's words seemed to have a hidden meaning...
However, Liu Bai didn't give Shibao time to think and pressed his hands on Shibao's shoulders.
"Come on, Hua, explain to me what a 'good thing' means?"
"Um... it's just..."
"Explanation, explanation, what is called, 'good thing'!" Liu Bai had a "gentle" smile on his face.
Lying here would be a really big deal!
"I'm so sorry, my brat has caused you trouble."
Liu Bai pressed Shibao's head down and apologized to the female clerk who had been affected by Feather of the Wind.
"So you're that 'Teacher Liu'... No, it's nothing. Your child is quite cute too."
The female clerk said, blushing.
These two look like father and daughter, right? But you really can't tell from their faces...
"Um... what is your current marital status? If you don't mind, could you... you know... consider it..."
"Didn't I tell you to deliver the documents you have to the Fourth Laboratory? Why are you still standing here?"
Planck interrupted the clerk's hesitant words in a gentle tone.
"Hey! Professor! I'm sorry! I'll go right now!"
The female clerk, realizing Planck was present, immediately apologized and then ran away on the spot.
"I knew it! No wonder Miss Fu Hua asked me that kind of question as soon as she saw me. So that's why."
Planck chuckled.
Liu Bai's face darkened... To be honest, altering consciousness has crossed a line.
Planck also noticed Liu Bai's expression and gave Liu Bai a "leave it to me" look.
Subsequently, Planck recognized the Shibao.
"Ms. Fu Hua, do you think that modifying consciousness is a very convenient ability?"
"Isn't that right? Didn't that woman's reaction just now prove it?"
"... Hmm, that's quite a powerful rhetorical question, isn't it? But, the only change you made to that female clerk was to make her think that Liu Bai is the most handsome man in the world, right? In fact, during your revelation just now, you overlooked many things, didn't you?"
Planck chuckled.
"You didn't even reveal Liu Bai's real name, nor did you instill any image of Liu Bai in him..."
"It's too late... Who told Teacher Liu to turn back so quickly..." Shibao muttered.
"So it can be considered a partial success?"
"Almost, about the same?"
"But was that child's reaction really what you wanted? Are you sure she only showed affection for Liu Bai because of your altered consciousness?" Planck laughed. "I can tell she really wants to be your 'mom'."
"This..."
How could she do such a thing! She just thought he was handsome, how could that turn into infatuation!
Let me reiterate! A world where everyone adores Teacher Liu is not what she wants!
Respect and love are enough!
"Maybe that guy is a looks-obsessed person?"
Shibao has now realized that something is wrong.
"Ultimately, is consciousness modification really that invincible?" Planck stared at the Shibao before him. "You have to understand that human will cannot be summarized in a single word—for example, if you modify that child's consciousness, and make her... make her like this door... will she keep liking it forever?"
"Simply modifying it... no way? Who would like this kind of metal thing? Maybe they'll think it was just a passing fancy or something."
Shibao shook his head.
Even she has to admit this truth, because such a one-sided change will definitely be noticed as something is wrong over time.
"But if that's the case, I'll just completely change her worldview from the inside out! I'm capable of anything!"
"That's really impressive."
Planck clapped his hands.
"Then why don't you try modifying my consciousness? As long as you can make me stop liking Liu Bai, even if you win, I'll admit that modifying consciousness is an omnipotent ability. Similarly, you'll also reduce one competitor."
"... Hey, woman, are you out of your mind? Aren't you just an ordinary person whose lifespan has been extended? Who gave you the courage to challenge the power of the Honkai?"
Shibao's eyes narrowed, and his tone became dangerous.
But Planck remained unconvinced.
"I admit, I'm just an ordinary person. If mental power were to rush into my brain and wreak havoc, I'm afraid, no, I would definitely become a vegetable in an instant... But, if it's about altering consciousness... want to give it a try?"
"..."
This time, it was Shibao's turn to remain silent.
That's right. If she simply used her mental power to rush into the brain, she could naturally turn the other person into a vegetable, or even make them sleep for a lifetime like the victims of the Herrscher of Sentience in the Previous Era, and then die weakly.
However, if we change our consciousness...
She knows many people who, although weak in strength, possess extraordinary willpower.
She had to admit that for those kinds of people, altering their consciousness through dreams was far more difficult than killing them outright.
They can be destroyed, but they will never surrender.
Or rather, the destruction of consciousness affects the vast majority of people equally; warriors who have mastered combat skills are not much better off than ordinary people when faced with purely mental attacks.
If modifying consciousness were really that effective, she would have tried it on Otto and all the Valkyrie long ago.
Moreover, there are always some sensitive points in their consciousness that, once touched, will immediately awaken them.
If changing consciousness were really that simple, the Previous Era wouldn't have had millions asleep, but rather millions rebelling.
"... You bastard."
Shibao stared at Planck for a long time before looking away.
"I'll let you off this time... You just don't want me to use the ability to modify consciousness at will, right? I understand."
"Huh?"
"Don't look surprised. I just stole your memories of flirting with Teacher Liu —I can do anything! You know that!"
Chapter 110 Einstein: The Herrscher? Ordinary
"Try to avoid things like peeking into other people's memories."
Liu Bai tapped Shibao on the head in an annoyed tone.
"You brat, what do you have to say to my teacher? Did you peek into my memories?"
"Um... I tried, but it didn't work..."
Shibao pouted.
"You can't hit them, you can't touch them, and you can't even see their memories—isn't that too unfair?"
Seeing Shibao's expression, Liu Bai slapped her again in annoyance.
Shibao shrank back.
"Okay, I admit my mistake, isn't that enough?"
Although Shibao was arrogant, he couldn't be arrogant in front of Liu Bai.
