The Wedding Dress Problem

The potential unleashed by discipline is absolutely, absolutely worth the effort and even sacrifice!

This is a potential way to break the deadlock!

Upon hearing Mei's words, Liu Bai immediately understood how determined Mei had been in this matter.

Although Liu Bai still felt that it was really unnecessary to do such a thing at this time, Mei had already said that she was prepared for failure, so what else could he say?

In any case, the final product is nothing more than Divine Sound.

This is truly the best and most controllable degraded version of Discipline that can be produced at the current level.

Of course, this doesn't contradict the fact that the Divine Sound itself is a failure. It lacks universality and its strength is just so-so. But the awkward thing is that the mortality rate is higher than the Fusion Warrior Project. The boost from a single Divine Sound is not as good as that from a single Fusion Warrior. And if a Fusion Warrior tries to use Divine Sound, and the warrior is killed off by mistake, then it's a huge loss...

What's the point of playing with this? It's pointless. In the game, the Flame-Chasers who can probably use this thing is probably Hua.

However, sometimes it's good to hit a wall, and besides data, the most convincing thing for scientists like Mei is practice.

Liu Bai couldn't produce any data, so he could only let Mei do it. Otherwise, even if he stopped Mei, she would still secretly do it—after all, in Mei's opinion, the profits from success would be enough for her to gamble.

On the other hand, Divine Sound might be more suitable for races with strong mental strength but weak physical bodies... Humans obviously don't fall into this category.

Danzhu and Cangxuan had no intention of commenting on the discussion between the two big shots. Well, they wouldn't get involved in something that looked dangerous anyway. If the big shots wanted to cause trouble, then let them have their fun.

Anyway, if big shots don't cause trouble, then they're not big shots.

"Now that you've sent me the documents, let's go eat."

Mei took the initiative to end the conversation.

"Also, we can move to the Golden Courtyard in a couple of days. The entire courtyard is over 90% complete. Please remember to tidy it up when you have time in the next couple of days."

Mei answered as she stood up.

"Number 17, please review these documents again. If there are no errors or omissions, then distribute them."

"Yes, Doctor."

Prometheus XVII, standing beside Mei, and Research Assistant Robot 1 nodded in response.

After entrusting the final matters to Prometheus, the group got up and left the office.

After leaving, Cangxuan subconsciously glanced back at the room. "Speaking of which, it seems that Number Seventeen is not as good as Number Zero in some aspects?"

"Because Zero spent the most time with the teacher, he was the most human-like."

When this question was brought up, Mei showed a somewhat strange expression.

"However, Number Seventeen and the other Prometheus are just not very good at expressing their emotions and their own needs; they may not be much less thoughtful."

"Oh, so you mean a repressed pervert?" Danzhu pondered for a moment, then revealed a look of sudden realization.

"... There's no need to describe it so crudely."

Mei was momentarily speechless at Danzhu's abrupt, leaping train of thought.

"If this helps you understand things, then so be it."

Mei thought about it and realized that she really couldn't refute it.

"What does 'it's okay to do' mean? Isn't that the truth?"

Danzhu rolled her eyes, expressing her disdain for Mei's self-deception—after working together, Danzhu had clearly become much bolder.

"So, all these Prometheus are father-dependent?"

"... Danzhu, stop saying such strange things, and don't bring your shut-in mentality into your work."

"What do you mean by strange talk? What do you mean by 'nerdy thinking'? I'm seeing through the surface to the essence!"

"... I always felt that Prometheus and his ilk were a bit crooked."

Cangxuan was one of the designers of Prometheus, so hearing his sister speak so directly made Cangxuan feel somewhat complicated.

"By the way, how many Prometheus individuals are there now?"

"Including Zero, there are a total of 21 individuals, and we don't plan to add any more." Faced with Cangxuan's serious question, Mei breathed a sigh of relief and answered decisively.

This thing is really expensive; even Mei can't afford it anymore.

However, the effect is obvious.

Providing combat or computational assistance can effectively improve work efficiency; otherwise, coordinating the work and life arrangements of hundreds of millions of people at once would exhaust just a few of them.

In addition to their regular duties, they can also perform security work, and acquiring some high-powered weapons is obviously not a difficult task for Prometheus and his ilk.

"Hey... could you spare one for Dr. Mobius?" Klein thought of this. "I think the doctor seems to really like the Prometheus."

"That guy just has an intermittent burst of maternal instinct; he just wants to get close to children whenever he sees them."

Mei said this so calmly that the others couldn't refute her at all.

Blanca, in particular, saw that her doctor seemed to be planning to designate her daughter as his successor.

While this is undoubtedly a good thing, her role as a mother still seems somewhat ambiguous.

Although our PhD student is young, it remains to be seen how much his/her mindset has actually improved...

As they strolled into the kitchen, they were greeted by a rich aroma of roasted meat.

"Hmm... it's not noodles?"

Mei immediately spotted the roasted oxen placed on the table in the hall, their aroma filling the air.

The roasted lamb next to it, which was much smaller, was completely ignored.

"Senior sister, you've arrived?"

Kevin's voice suddenly rang out from the side, startling Mei, who was focused on the whole roasted cow.

"Kevin? What are you doing here?"

Mei looked at Kevin, who was sitting in the corner with the lonely old man, slurping noodles, and then at the large group of people chatting and laughing next to the cattle and sheep. A strange expression appeared on her face.

"I guess I was ostracized?"

Kevin, looking somewhat melancholy, held the large bowl and slurped up his noodles as he answered.

However, after seeing the large bowl of noodles in Kevin 'Kevin hand, Mei suddenly understood.

There's a lot of information in this bowl of noodles.

How could noodles possibly be served at a normal victory celebration banquet?

This bowl of noodles tells you that something was probably not quite right about this celebration banquet.

Plus, everyone's gathered around the roast beef and lamb, while Kevin sits all alone outside with a bowl in his hand... Okay, that's enough speculation.

Not only Mei, but everyone else also gradually realized what was happening.

Everyone had a different expression. Some, like Liu Bai and Mei, were completely unsurprised. Others, like Danzhu Cangxuan, were amazed. Still others, like Klein Blanca, were indifferent.

"... I know noodles are cheap, but we really can't do it like this, can we?"

Even though Cangxuan was a miser, he knew when he shouldn't be frugal.

"Don't be surprised, this is quite normal." Mei pushed up her glasses. "Let's go eat."

Mei completely ignored Kevin.

Isn't it normal for a car to overturn and be thrown outside?

"...Teacher." Seeing that his senior sister was too lazy to pay attention to him, Kevin turned his resentful gaze to Liu Bai.

Although he loves noodles, it's just too much for these guys to make him eat noodles while they eat a whole roasted beef!

Kevin really wanted to try a bite of that beef... It was such a big cow, full of rugged beauty, whether it tasted good or not was secondary.

To be honest, Kevin could even use the Judgement of Shamash to cut up meat and feast on it. Just thinking about that scene is awesome, right?

—Especially since Sakura has already used the Purging Thunder her flesh!

Liu Bai glanced at his silly student, whose eyes were clearly saying, "Teacher, I'm hungry, I want to eat meat."

Their emotions are truly excessive.

"It's okay, the teacher isn't hungry."

Liu Bai patted Kevin on the shoulder with a smile.

Upon hearing Liu Bai's words, Kevin felt a wave of dizziness.

Teacher! How come even you've started to get so cunning!

Chapter 434 The Wedding Dress Problem

In the end, apart from Liu Bai, no one paid any attention to Kevin —they really couldn't think of any reason to sympathize with someone who dared to make a mess of noodles at a banquet.

Incidentally, Sue was also complained about by many people because of this incident—if you hadn't mentioned it, would everyone have let Kevin host the banquet?

You share the responsibility too!

Since this wasn't exactly an undeserved disaster, Su could only reluctantly accept it—anyway, he was eating and drinking as usual, much better off than Kevin, who only ate noodles and drank noodle soup, and getting a few scoldings wouldn't hurt him.

Incidentally, because of this incident, Elysia's popularity in everyone's eyes seems to have risen a little bit again—although Elysia has always been the most popular among the Moth Chasers to Fire.

The two most popular characters in the Moth Chasers to Fire are probably Eden and Elysia. However, because Eden has always been a support staff member and has a celebrity aura, his popularity has always been lower Elysia's.

A few days after the celebration banquet, the entire Moth Chasers to Fire moved to the larger, better-equipped, and more magnificent Golden Courtyard.

"By the way, Eden, how much money do you have left?" In the magnificent room, Elysia looked at the slightly tipsy Eden with curiosity.

"I'm out of money."

As Eden poured wine into his golden goblet, he took out several gems from his pocket.

"..."

Elysia watched Eden's actions with a subtle expression.

Can you stop saying you have no money while drinking from a gold goblet and pulling out jewels from your pocket?

Okay, Elysia probably understands what Eden meant by "no money".

It's just that compared to its former state of being incredibly wealthy, it's no longer rich. From an ordinary person's perspective, Eden is still shockingly wealthy.

Those few gems are absolutely priceless.

"Which one do you like, Aili?" Eden's tone carried the gentleness unique to his slightly tipsy state.

"No need, Eden. You've already given me enough gems. If you give me more, you won't have anything left for yourself."

"Anyway, it's not anything valuable..." Eden shook his head indifferently.

She genuinely loves gemstones, but she also genuinely doesn't care about material possessions.

"But... well, if you get married in the future, Eden, wouldn't it be awkward if you didn't have any jewels to adorn yourself?"

Elysia said, half-jokingly.

These words startled Eden.

If anyone else had said this to her, she would most likely have scoffed. Eden has never cared about those kinds of low-skilled games.

But now that Elysia has said this to her, she's willing to consider it.

Thinking about how many gems I gave Elysia before, and then when we get married in the future, Aili will be adorned with gems while I won't... Ah, this scenario is really terrible.

Once Eden thought about it, he sobered up.

She could treat everyone else as trash, but not Elysia ...

After all, Elysia is incredibly aggressive, and given what happened before, no one, let alone Eden, can afford to underestimate Elysia now.

Seeing Eden like this, Elysia revealed a slightly mischievous expression.

"By the way, has Eden ever thought about marriage?"

"I've thought about it." Eden nodded frankly in admission. She wasn't that naive girl anymore, so what was there to be ashamed of?

Elysia's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "So, Eden, you designed your own wedding dress?"

"...Of course." Eden nodded, feeling like he understood what Elysia was trying to say. "You want me to help design a wedding dress for you?"

"Hehe~ I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Eden."

"Hmm... That's strange, why are you thinking about wedding dresses at this time?"
