Lessons from Experience

This guy's physique is simply not reassuring!

On the contrary, Hua, if you want to be a philanderer, then so be it. Anyway, with that figure, even if you cheat a few times, it won't cause any trouble!

"I vote for Hua." Eden spoke first, not afraid of offending Aponia, after all, she knew that Aponia wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.

"I also vote for China," Mobius followed closely behind.

To be honest, she didn't expect things to develop this way. Because everyone's atmosphere was too harmonious (and they were just giving up), their self-destruction segment was skipped.

Hmm... Although I escaped a disaster, why do I feel such an undeniable sense of disappointment?

I feel like I made a decision for nothing.

"In that case, I'll vote for China too~~" Elysia smiled happily, it was unclear whether she was just following the trend or had really figured out the reasons.

"Hua." Vil-V also voted directly.

After the four big shots made their investments, the remaining small fry and onlookers simply followed suit.

So, Hua became the master of the Eighth Divine Key... Hua was not happy at all.

She's not incapable of reading people! Does she really think she doesn't know why these people voted for her?

She could see perfectly clearly what these people were mainly glancing at when their eyes were wandering around!

If Hua hadn't known that this seemingly frivolous decision was actually quite serious, he would have already given up.

However, the others obviously didn't care about Hua's minor dissatisfaction and all started to congratulate him.

Yeah, Hua wants to punch each of these bastards in the head right now...

Well, all I can do is think about it... I'll think about it slowly...

"Dr. Mobius, Hua's experiment is now in your hands."

"When have you ever left it to me? Isn't that obvious?" Although Mobius's tone wasn't great, he still nodded in agreement. He then took a closer look at Mei and realized that Mei really didn't seem to be planning to settle accounts.

Well... it's quite surprising.

Well, for Mei, since no one seemed inclined to pursue the matter further, she didn't want to continue.

Secondly, some things can't stand scrutiny... Just imagine how thick-skinned you have to be to reveal to Liu Bai that the entire high-level operation speed would decrease by 20% without him!

Have you no shame?

Moreover, she also bears some responsibility for this. If she had managed things better, the reduction might have been as low as 10% or even 5%.

The actual figure was 20%... Anyone with a shred of decency would find it hard to open their mouth in Liu Bai.

This data is truly appalling, making it seem as if one-fifth of the higher-ups died.

Elysia is in the wrong, but not to this extent. If the blame for the reduced efficiency of the Moth Chasers to Fire is entirely placed on Aili... not to mention Mei, no one would dare to say that except for Mobius.

If the data were cut in half, Aili wouldn't have had such a good day. She would definitely have been publicly criticized, and after that, she would have been paraded through the streets with a sign around her neck that read "I am a super idiot." But who can blame her when the data can't be cut...

So, no one really dared to speak up, since the criticisms were limited to a few points, mainly about the consequences and their impact. If they were to bring it up, it would inevitably involve efficiency. So, people like Vil-V and Eden could only pretend not to hear, and Sakura and Pardo were just following the crowd, so the matter just passed by inexplicably.

Mobius was able to stand his ground precisely because his work efficiency hadn't actually been cut—the only department whose efficiency hadn't been reduced. Even Danzhu thought that Mobius was acting like a neurotic, nearly forty-year-old complainer this week.

Well... because Klein does all the daily work in the Mobius lab. Even if Mobius is neurotic, and even if Mobius teamed up with the Cangxuan sisters to make things worse and kicked Blanca out, Klein could still work her butt off to ensure the job was done, right?

Mobius only needed to make sure he didn't mess things up on the operating table—which was precisely the least challenging thing for Mobius.

I was thinking, if you give me Klein, my work efficiency definitely won't drop much! I can stand up for myself!

In other words, apart from Mobius, all the other high-ranking members were actually feeling guilty, and no one present wanted to expose Elysia... Unfortunately, Mobius didn't usually pay attention to other departments and didn't know the reason behind it.

Okay, Mei was initially furious and wanted to hang up on those two, but after harassing Vil-V, Mei realized her mistake and simply changed the subject.

"I escaped a disaster..." Elysia breathed a sigh of relief, feeling incredibly lucky.

Mei glanced at the now relaxed Aili and said coldly, "This is the last time."

"Of course!" Mei's cold face still put some pressure on Elysia.

There won't be a next time.

Aili thought she and Mobius were going to be paraded through the streets with placards hanging around their necks, so the fact that they got through it... really shows how forgiving everyone was of her, plus the fact that it wasn't a matter of principle...

... Does it really not count?

Elysia didn't really understand what was going on in everyone's head today.

Liu Bai, who had watched the whole thing without saying a word, seemed to be deep in thought as he observed the scene.

Why does it seem like these people are all quite satisfied by some twist of fate?

"Honey, remember to come to my studio today if you have time."

Liu Bai noticed that Eden was smiling at him.

Chapter 426 Reference Experience

"Eden, you're not planning to cause trouble for Liu Bai, are you?"

Although the matter has come to an end, everyone is still here. Eden, although you are smiling brightly, why does the content of your words feel like a sarcastic remark full of murderous intent?

Everyone looked at Eden with strange expressions.

"Why are you all staring at me?" Eden shrugged at the crowd who were watching him. "I'm not going to hog food like Aili and Mobius. And if I really wanted to hog food, would I be here saying that?"

"No, no, no one doubts that you, Eden, would eat alone."

Sakura spoke with a strange expression.

Eden is a person of relatively high moral character, unlike Mobius who exudes the air of a single, resentful woman, or Elysia who clings to Liu Bai for no reason. Although Liu Bai and Eden are clearly very close, in the eyes of others, they maintain a good sense of propriety in their relationship.

What people care about is your tone of voice!

"Eden... you're not angry with the head of the household, are you... Although I admit that what the head of the household did was a bit wrong this time, it's not a matter of principle... and even if it was wrong, it was Aili's fault!"

Elysia: "???"

Why am I being dragged into this?

Even if I am 99% wrong, does that mean Liu Bai is not 1% wrong?

Although I was the one who strongly recommended it at first, I ended up being manipulated by Liu Bai in the end!

Okay, at this point, it's politically correct to criticize her occasionally.

Elysia sighed and resigned herself to her fate—since she had already benefited, she shouldn't complain.

The others nodded in agreement after Sakura finished speaking.

"What are you all thinking? Do I look like someone who gets angry so easily?" Eden glanced at everyone present, puzzled.

This was just a minor incident for her, okay?

She's not one of those small fry who think they can't turn the tide just because they've gained an early advantage. What's a loss? The one who laughs last is the winner.

It was all miscellaneous fish.

No... maybe, except for Aponia?

Eden glanced at Aponia with a puzzled look. She was actually a little unsure whether her best friend had already joined the war or was still sitting in the spectator's seat waiting for the right opportunity.

Unfathomable.

I didn't feel this way when we were exchanging letters before, but now, Eden has to admit that there's a reason why Kalpas Calamities hates Aponia.

To emphasize, the "unpredictable" aspect here doesn't refer to the overall picture; it simply refers to Aponia's attitude towards romantic relationships. Other aspects, such as Aponia towards extremes in matters of salvation, are something Eden knows perfectly well.

Eden himself did not dislike this somewhat extreme form of salvation; at the very least, it was a form of salvation.

Moreover, Mei and Liu Bai would naturally be there to limit such matters, so Eden felt he didn't need to say anything more.

When it comes to matters of love... Eden really couldn't figure out Aponia's thoughts.

Aponia, despite her captivating charm, is surprisingly fair in her actions, much like Hua. This explains why she was listed alongside Hua in the proposal earlier.

"Eden, is there something on my face?" Aponia looked up at Eden and asked softly.

"It's nothing." Eden realized he had been staring at Aponia for quite a while without really paying attention, so he looked away somewhat awkwardly and continued the previous topic, "I just wanted to know how it went."

"W-what process?" Elysia was the first to realize something was wrong.

If it's just a simple account of what happened, that's already quite detailed. Even if Elysia herself were to add more details, she could only add that she deduced it from the opposite perspective.

Since things have come to this point, it's no big deal to talk about this little thing.

But Eden's enigmatic smile told Elysia, the person involved, that Eden definitely didn't want to know about the events before they slept together, but rather...

Getting into bed.

"... There's nothing much to say, is there?"

Liu Bai's expression was also somewhat distorted at this moment. You actually asked this question?

Eden! Are you alright?

"Moreover, it's somewhat inelegant."

"That's why we have to say it quietly," Eden said with a smile.

But Elysia was already about to lose her composure; she wasn't curious about such things!

"What should I say? Is this truly Eden's doing? Or is she simply torturing Liu Bai?"

Vil-V leaned on her head, her expression unreadable.

After all... it's not impossible for Eden to do something like this, but saying it so directly does sound like torturing Liu Bai.

"I was really just curious."

"Then let me tell you!" Elysia snapped out of her daze, puffing out her cheeks as she looked at Eden. "I have firsthand experience, you know! It's unique!"

"..."

Elysia's words silenced everyone present.

Eden may have been somewhat torturing Liu Bai, but you're really shameless. Is this something you can talk about?

"Anyway, everyone's going to have that moment sooner or later." Seemingly sensing the atmosphere, Elysia naturally put her hands on her hips.

"..."

Everyone is completely lost again.

Well, this really hits the nail on the head. Everyone is indeed very curious about that experience, and even if it may not apply to them, it still has some reference value.

However, it was very unpleasant for Aili, this "fish-stealing cat," to say that—although in terms of fighting power, most of the people present were no match for this fish-stealing cat.

But... I really want to know.

Even Eden himself fell silent.

From Liu Bai, one can only sense the feelings that Aili evoked, but from Aili, one can sense the feelings that Liu Bai evoked...

Honestly, who cares about Liu Bai's feelings about using Elysia!

Eden wouldn't have said such a thing if he hadn't wanted to give Liu Bai a good dressing down so that Liu Bai would be more careful not to be tempted in the future.

But now... Elysia seems to have offered a condition that everyone present found both tempting and unappealing.

I want to agree, but I'm too embarrassed to do it.

I want to refuse, but I'm afraid that if I miss this opportunity, I won't get another chance.

"Me! Me! Me! I want to hear it!"

Danzhu was the first to break the silence.

"Aili! Let's find a place to have a good talk!"

"Danzhu!"

Cangxuan, as the older sister, never expected that her younger sister would take the lead at this time.

Don't get me wrong! We two came here to watch the drama unfold! How did you get involved?!

Is this something we should get involved in?

Cangxuan had already begun calculating, with a cold expression, how much medical expenses Danzhu would need in the future.

Elysia was also surprised – she never expected that Danzhu would be the first to speak.
