Two Beatings Should Teach You

Mei pushed up her glasses and nodded in sincere admiration.

She supports peaceful conflict; after all, if a fight breaks out, she'll definitely be the first one thrown out.

And now she is also reflecting on whether she was a little too impulsive. How could she have gotten so carried away with this idea?

Then Mei glared at Rita.

It's all that vixen's fault.

Rita continued to wear a fawning smile.

"Hua, you... you should have a good talk with Xiaoshi."

Liu Bai glanced at Fu Hua again and casually offered a suggestion.

"In short, let's just let this fight go. If you ever want to fight again, stop when you've made your point and don't go around bullying people."

Liu Bai wasn't the type of person who liked to suppress others. After all, suppressing some emotions for too long was actually bad, and Liu Bai couldn't suppress everyone in this group.

Stop when you've made your point, and don't deliberately bully the weak. That's what Liu Bai asks of this group.

However, on the other hand, if a few individuals do something reckless and incur public wrath, then there's nothing that can be done... Well, I'm talking about Rita, although Liu Bai also bears half the blame for this.

"As for what's next, you're probably more concerned about my health, right?"

When Liu Bai finally brought this up, everyone present nodded in agreement.

"You can physically exist for five hours a day. If your physical body dies, you will revert to a ghost state. The physical existence time resets at midnight every day. However, please note that the physical body does not exist..."

Wait a minute, Liu Bai suddenly felt that something was not right.

He quickly glanced at his skill panel again.

[True Self - Human Form lv10 (max): Allows the host to move in physical form for 300 minutes per day. Physical form ignores the host's distance restrictions, ghost-type skills are disabled, only a small portion of ghost characteristics are inherited, and in physical form, the physical body is equivalent to a perfect ordinary human...]

... Wait a minute, are there a few words missing here?

Liu Bai suddenly fell silent. He was too excited at the time and only paid attention to the time, not what happened next...

"There is nothing?"

Everyone present looked at Liu Bai with puzzled expressions. You shouldn't leave out such an important matter as your body!

"That... Rita?"

Liu Bai looked at Rita, who was still wrapped in the blanket.

"Yes, Liu Bai, is there any problem?"

"Is it a safe period?"

"The safe period... guess?"

Rita winked seductively and playfully, but the murderous aura that erupted in the room the next moment sent a chill down Rita spine.

"Well, of course it's a safe period. I'm very responsible for myself."

The intense killing intent made Rita realize that now was not the time for flirting.

Rita's statement relieved most of the people present, but their eyes then lit up.

Isn't it obvious what this problem represents?

"In any case, if Alliance Leader are not mentally prepared, you should take safety precautions. Acting impulsively is not advisable."

Reanna said with a half-smile.

"After all, this is a tense time."

"Ahem, I understand." Liu Bai was slightly embarrassed.

Rita also tilted her head slightly. Safety measures... How could she possibly keep such a thing at home?

"Doctor, you were indeed reckless this time. No matter what, Rita is still... barely a high-level combatant."

Mei also adjusted her glasses, but Rita was quite unhappy with Mei's statement.

I'm so sorry that my dignified S-Rank Valkyrie has been de-released! Don't you even know who you people are?

"Since Dr. Mei puts it that way, I might as well retire."

"Just kidding."

At this point, only a fool would let Rita retire. After all, Rita is now considered a second-tier player, and she has a lot of room for improvement.

"But then again, Miss Rita is S-Rank Valkyrie after all... Doctor, you really 'fought' with Miss Rita for three hours?"

Mei's tone betrayed a hint of surprise as she spoke.

"The physical body will inherit some of the characteristics of a ghost... such as not having a stamina bar."

Liu Bai felt even more guilty.

Yes, he has no stamina bar, his stamina is infinite... This is the Ghost trait he inherited, and Liu Bai didn't know what else to say.

Is it reasonable? It actually is quite reasonable, after all, upon closer inspection, this thing is indeed one of the essences of a ghost—though inconspicuous.

But inheriting this at this point gives people a rather subtle feeling.

"I see. Doctor, you can come over for a check-up when you have time. I think the physical manifestation of ghosts would be a good research topic."

"I suggest that at least ten people should be present to observe any future physical examinations of Teacher Liu," Fu Hua chimed in, giving Mei no chance to take advantage of the situation.

But Mei doesn't care.

She did indeed have a very rigorous scientific attitude in this regard, without any malicious intent. Among the scientists she knew, Mobius was probably the only one willing to engage in romantic flirting with Liu Bai in the laboratory.

Tsk, from a certain perspective, that guy is a "snake-like seductress".

Thank goodness that guy wasn't there...

"In that case, let's call it a day—but I sincerely don't want to see what happened today happen again."

Mei pushed up her glasses.

Unless it happens to me...

"Please note that we are currently at a very critical juncture. The Herrscher of a Thousand has already appeared, and the Herrscher of Ice is about to emerge as well. We are likely to enter the most crucial phase of the battle against the Honkai."

Mei's words caused everyone present to freeze in shock.

"Miss Otto, could you please provide the current intelligence?"

"Hehe~ Hehe~~"

"..."

Mei looked at Otto's irrational expression with a hint of speechlessness.

"Kallen, didn't I tell you to slap Otto twice?" Liu Bai covered his face, feeling deeply ashamed.

"I already gave it to them."

Kallen pulled away in disgust, pointing to the two handprints on Otto's face.

"It won't work—I think you should just put a collar on her and keep her as a pet. It would be nice to take her for a walk in Schicksal every day."

My best friend is ruined.

"Ahem, what are you saying?"

Seeing Liu Bai cover his face, Otto immediately regained his senses.

"The intelligence is right—aside from the final Finality, there are still 5 Herrscher have not yet been defeated or settled: the Herrscher of Ice, the Herrscher of Earth, the Herrscher of Domination, the Herrscher of Binding, and the Herrscher of Corruption. Among them, the Herrschers of Ice and Domination have been located, leaving 3 Herrscher have not yet appeared."

"The remaining three Herrschers, Rock, Restraint, and Erosion, are all high-risk Herrscher."

Mei took over the conversation again. Fu Hua's expression immediately darkened upon hearing this.

The resistance of the Previous Era began with the Herrscher of Earth, then the Herrscher of Binding dealt a heavy blow, Herrscher of Corruption finished the job.

It can be said to be a pain that will last forever.

When such a serious topic was brought up, no one in the room immediately stopped joking around.

"Get serious... Although I'm not happy with you guys, I don't want you to die in this final stage of the battle because of carelessness. I don't want to experience the same failure and tragedy a second time."

"Clear."

Everyone present responded solemnly.

Everyone present was able to distinguish between public and private matters, and naturally realized that Mei was not joking.

"Let's put the doctor's matter aside for now... Even if we have to take a step back, we must remember to take safety precautions."

Mei didn't issue any serious bans. She knew that the pressure on everyone would likely increase as the deadline approached, and having multiple ways to release that pressure was a good idea.

When it came to the Herrscher of Corruption back then, Aponia's commandments were at most 30% to blame; the tragedy was mainly caused by the ever-increasing pressure.

Of all these Herrscher, Mei is least worried about the Herrscher of Binding. This thing has a strange mechanism; it can be strong or weak. Back then, the appearance of this thing perfectly countered all the technologies of the Previous Era — Fusion Warrior, God Key —and incidentally killed ordinary people as well.

It was precisely because of its existence that Mei conceived the idea of "Honkai Will".

However, it doesn't matter whether the Honkai's actions back then were instinctive or truly driven by some unseen force. Mobius's actions should have been successful, and all the Herrscher of the current civilization have been identified.

As long as the location of the monster is calculated in advance, it's not difficult for someone like her, who is personally involved, to plan and kill it.

On the contrary, the rocks and erosion... if they cannot be completely eliminated, the consequences will be endless.

"So, Dr. Mei's statement means that as long as we defeat the Honkai, everyone can do whatever they want with the Alliance Leader?"

Ragna stretched and asked with a hint of deeper meaning.

"Certainly."

After receiving a positive response from Mei, everyone present became excited.

"... Shouldn't you ask me for my opinion again?" Liu Bai looked at the group of people who were full of fighting spirit and didn't know what to say.

"Whom does the doctor want to exclude?"

"..."

Exclude? Exclude my ass!

Seeing Liu Bai's silent expression, Mei shrugged.

See, so I'm asking you, is it useful?

Of all the people present, you are destined not to escape.

Fine, I'll take responsibility for my mistakes!

Chapter 305 You'll understand after getting a couple of beatings

"Hey, the show's finally over inside."

Raiden Ryoma, Siegfried, and Kevin peeked into the dormitory from outside the door and finally saw the group walking out.

"It's past six o'clock now, isn't it? I remember they gathered together at three-thirty?"

Siegfried looked worried.

"In those two and a half hours... Bianka and Kiana didn't do anything with that bastard, did they?"

"Don't worry, although I support this kind of thing, if those two girls can do this in this time period, it's already equivalent to 'taking the head of a general in the midst of a thousand troops,' right?"

Kevin patted Siegfried on the shoulder, looking comforted.

Then Kevin was shoved aside by Siegfried.

What right do you have to support this? Ancestors? Even ancestors don't work!

It's not your daughter, you bastard, of course you don't care!

"I Mei didn't get involved too..."

On the other side, Raiden Ryoma also looked worried. Kevin stood with his arms crossed, watching the two middle-aged men worry about their daughters.

"Look on the bright side, wouldn't it be a good thing if you two could have a grandchild or something?"

Kevin continued to make sarcastic remarks from the side.

"Get out, get out, get out!"

Siegfried showed absolutely no respect to his ancestor, telling the daughterless bastard to go away.
