Vill-V: I Pinched It Crooked

That's it.

After the Herrscher of a Thousand were killed, Mobius developed a potion that could stimulate the potential of Fusion Warrior to mass-produce in high-intensity battlefields, and then the number of Fusion Warrior of the Moth Chasers to Fire soared—well, actually not by much.

The number of Fusion Warrior increased from about forty or fifty to two or three hundred, and unfortunately, no elites emerged; they were all just ordinary Fusion Warrior.

Based on Liu Bai's combat strength comparison, this group of people are probably considered ordinary A-level in the current civilization?

This evaluation is already quite high. Two or three hundred A-rank Valkyrie, with proper tactics, can definitely outmaneuver Herrscher.

Unfortunately, the Previous Era no longer has the opportunity to solve problems simply by "exploding".

These days, everyone is expected to use their brains. Two or three hundred Fusion Warrior... come on, it sounds great, but to put it bluntly, if you put them all in front of Kevin, even if Kevin doesn't use his Skyfire AoE, he could still cut them down like grass.

The difference between people is truly greater than the difference between a person and a dog.

However, at this point in time, this quantity has still played a role.

Mei can produce female Fusion Warrior who combine Parvati or Ganesha genes.

Moreover, these people are all exceptionally talented—although they are relatively weak as Fusion Warrior, becoming Fusion Warrior these days is definitely a once-in-a-century genius. To be honest, this universally terrible Fusion Warrior technique does have a high ceiling, but it is really only for a small group of people at the top of civilization.

To use the current civilization as an example, each of these people has the potential to become S-Rank Valkyrie, but they are only slightly inferior to this group of "the last essence of civilization". They are not inferior to others at all.

As for his love life, Mei isn't worried. Kevin's reputation in the military is unquestionable, and given the opportunity, those girls will most likely agree.

"And if the criteria were broadened further, fire-type individuals would also be considered." Mei pushed up her glasses. "If the criteria were even broader, requiring only the ability to withstand low temperatures, then there would be even more candidates."

The proportion of women in this group is relatively high—not that men are useless, but many truly talented men died in the early stages of the anti-Honkai. Otherwise, there would be no need to select women—after all, the Fusion Warrior technology of the Previous Era did not have any gender differences. Under such conditions, it would be natural to give priority to men with better innate physical abilities.

There are more women now, simply because men are dying so many that women have to... no, strictly speaking, those girls represent the groups of "women" and "children".

As for the elderly... they are already a very small minority.

Even if Liu Bai were strong enough, the invasions of Honkai Beast of all sizes in various places had long since exhausted the war potential of the Previous Era.

"..." Kevin fell silent.

Well... as expected of my senior sister, she completely blocked all my paths, and none of my reasons worked.

But I really don't want to get married!

"Senior sister, teacher, I feel that getting married will affect my performance on the battlefield."

Kevin finally decided to wipe his face and start threatening his teacher and senior sister.

The most absurd statement in the world is "I think".

I think getting married will affect my performance on the battlefield!

What if I make a mistake on the battlefield and die in battle?

How can you bear to let me get married like this? If anything happens to me in the future, you'll be the one to take the blame!

Sure enough, Kevin's words successfully silenced Mei. After a long while, Mei nodded helplessly. "Okay, then we can compromise. Which one do you like? I'll combine your genes and have a child for you."

"... Although I don't understand why you care so much about this, I have no objection."

"The reason is simple: we always need to leave some talented juniors for the future." Mei didn't hide this little thing from Kevin. "It's a bit of a shortcut. To be honest, if the teacher hadn't lost his health, this wouldn't be your responsibility."

Liu Bai: "..."

Upon hearing this, Aponia couldn't help but glance at Liu Bai.

Everyone immediately understood what "mei" meant.

If Liu Bai had a body, then this matter would be simple. Even if it's disgusting, Mei would still lock Liu Bai and Elysia in a dark room for 24 hours a day to make a baby and see what kind of chosen one they could create. If the baby is good, Finality battle wouldn't need to be fought, and everyone could just fast forward to hibernation.

Unfortunately, that wasn't possible, so they had to settle for pairing Kevin with a regular Fusion Warrior, since it wouldn't make much difference anyway.

After all, Mei's expectations for Kevin were just a lucky break. If it were Liu Bai, Mei would be willing to take a serious gamble. In fact, even if Elysia didn't want to have children, there were plenty of others who were.

Kevin's project extending into the future is a pleasant surprise; even if it fails, it doesn't matter, since it wasn't even a proper plan anyway...

"I would rather the teacher be in charge."

The thought of suddenly having another child made Kevin's expression contort.

No, we can't distort it; if we do, things will get much worse.

"Stop arguing. You choose first. As for your child... I will conduct a certain number of experiments with the Stigmata Project to ensure that he can survive relatively easily under your care."

Mei didn't mince words; she felt that Kevin's approach to raising children was actually quite risky—for the children themselves.

"... Senior sister, was this your original intention?"

After picking up the roster, Kevin suddenly realized something, and even though he was still in a cool and aloof state, Kevin expression became somewhat subtle.

"You guess."

Mei stretched.

Kevin: "..."

Kevin was speechless; saying "mei" was tantamount to admitting it.

Sure enough, the best way to get someone to open a window is to suggest first tearing down the roof.

I've been tricked again...

But given the circumstances, when choosing a mother for your child, shouldn't you choose someone smarter?

"Teacher? Any suggestions?" Kevin shifted his position and moved closer to Liu Bai.

Liu Bai immediately saw through Kevin's thoughts. "Just pick one randomly. Don't worry, honestly, none of these people are as smart as you."

He was too embarrassed to tell Kevin that the vast majority of the Kaslana family in the future would be modeled after Kevin —even in the original timeline!

Chapter 445 Vil-V: It's crooked

"Hey, I heard you guys messed with Kevin again?"

On the deck of the Moonlight Throne warship, Vil-V looked at Liu Bai with an awkward smile.

There were many small groups of people, and they were all in groups. Kevin's affair couldn't be kept secret at all, and everyone knew about it in just a couple of days.

However... Mei, Aponia, and Liu Bai are all very tight-lipped. They definitely won't go around making a fuss about this kind of thing.

In other words, it's highly likely that Kevin himself made this up.

"What do you mean we messed with him? We didn't mess with him at all. Aponia and I just watched the whole thing."

"Fine, you still didn't stop anything, did you?" Vil-V glanced at Liu Bai.

"..."

Liu Bai suddenly fell silent.

It wasn't that he was speechless, but rather that he actually sensed a certain "alluring charm" in Vil-V's glance.

That... flirting look?

No, no, no, maybe I'm just imagining things? Forget about Vil-V, even Mobius wouldn't flirt with me, right?

Something's suddenly not right about this.

This is fucking really weird, okay?

Liu Bai's first thought was of the lover's personality, but then he felt it didn't quite seem like it. After all, the current Vil-V didn't seem crazy enough, and she didn't quite seem like a lover. Besides, maybe he was just hallucinating.

Let's try to continue talking.

"By the way, why did you suddenly bring up Kevin?" Liu Bai began to steer the conversation toward matters of the heart.

"Who says this is the only source of amusement we've had lately?" Vil-V shook her head helplessly. "But Kevin said that you guys... Mei, that guy, initially seemed to be pressuring Kevin to get married?"

"... It wasn't really forcing them."

"Isn't that it?" Vil-V shrugged. "It's ridiculous that he hasn't even sorted out his own problems yet, but he's already meddling in other people's business."

Mei is almost at the very bottom of the social hierarchy, meaning she's almost a level below even the little pet, Pardo.

Since this guy is still a student, aside from his physique, his fighting ability isn't as good as Hua Gao's—he probably just doesn't think he can suppress Hua.

None of the other women believed that the US could suppress China.

If Hua were a bit more voluptuous, she would at least be sitting in T1 with Mobius, if not in T0 with Aponia, Aili, and Eden.

Everyone laughs at Hua's figure every day, isn't it because Hua's figure is his biggest flaw? To be honest, this guy declared war on Mobius as a student, which means that Hua had already confessed his love to Liu Bai and gotten rid of his disciple status. However, Hua didn't like that kind of change, and he also felt a little ashamed afterward, so he continued to pretend to be a student.

As for Mei... although she and Mobius were evenly matched back then, and even put on a cooking competition, it's a bit of a delicate matter to call that a declaration of war. Theoretically speaking, she hadn't shaken off her student status!

Anyway, Mobius sees Hua as both a sworn enemy and a close friend, so he wouldn't use seniority to take advantage of Hua. As for Mei... emmmm... of course he'd take advantage of her if he could!

So, regarding Kevin's situation, while others are laughing at Kevin, Vil-V is actually laughing at Mei.

If this guy had just put in a little effort, he wouldn't be at the very bottom of the social hierarchy now.

If it weren't for the impending Honkai, I might actually have to call them "master's wives" in a couple of years.

"Speaking of which, that Mobius guy is really useless. He's been working on your body for so long and still hasn't produced anything. He's really good for nothing." Speaking of this, Vil-V complained about Mobius again, "Didn't that guy produce the Gray Serpent? He should try harder!"

"Ah, because that thing Mobius made was a sinkhole, right?"

"Huh? It's just adding Honkai Beast factors, right? Is this some kind of huge rip-off?" Vil-V raised an eyebrow, looking quite puzzled.

Although her major is mechanics, after dealing with Honkai for so many years, where are there any scholars who are purely mechanical these days? Who doesn't know a little about biology?

"That's just the initial step. It seems she's planning to mix some Herrscher... uh, I don't know if it's genetics or something, or maybe a variety of top-tier Honkai Beast."

"... Herrscher Core? No, no, no, that idea is too crazy."

Doesn't that mean we have to dismantle some of the God Key?

However... well, to be honest, Vil-V thinks that apart from the Fifth Divine Key, which cannot be dismantled, dismantling the other God Key and exchanging them for Liu Bai doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Because if the core is really used, the final result will definitely be the body of a multi-core Herrscher, a multi-core Herrscher... even if they have never seen one before - not counting the Herrscher of Domination, which is Herrscher with an unusual style.

If this combat power can be unleashed, wouldn't it be enough to take him out and give the Herrscher of Finality, whom even Mei thinks has a slim chance of winning, a run for his money?

"... Okay, Mobius really did step into a sinkhole—does he really enjoy stepping into sinkholes?"

This guy also stumbled into the Honkai disease 3rd abyss when he was young. Of course, such behavior is actually quite admirable, but that doesn't stop Vil-V from bringing up this old story to complain about now.

"That guy just gets carried away occasionally—it's the same principle as you getting carried away and putting all sorts of weird little gadgets on the God Key." Liu Bai glanced at Vil-V.

Vil-V shrugged, not denying it. "But then again, the Herrscher is indeed a huge trap, but with multiple Honkai Beast... although I don't really understand, my intuition tells me there's still hope?"

It has to be said that the intuition of such top scientists is ridiculously accurate.

"That depends on how 'many' is defined—is it three or four, as long as it's a plural number, that's considered many? Or is it more than ten, the quantity must meet the standard for it to be considered many?"

"Okay, that guy Mobius definitely chose the latter." Vil-V immediately understood. That guy Mobius has always been a madman when it comes to Liu Bai – if I can't come up with the best, why should I bother with it?

Although Vil-V felt that Liu Bai only needed a body, she could understand Mobius's thoughts to some extent.

"But we've come to the point about health... I'm not bragging, but if I had good health, Kevin might not be the one getting married."

"Hmph..." Vil-V made a disgruntled sound, "So popular, anyway, it's definitely not my turn. If anyone has to go first, it'll be Aili, Aponia, or Eden."

"Vil-V?"

"Huh? What's wrong? Need some comforting? It's okay, I've come to terms with reality." Vil-V was now a mix of jealousy and emo. "Of course, if you really want to comfort me, that's fine too..."

"I said, you're Vil-V, right?"

Liu Bai suddenly realized that although the person in front of him wasn't a conductor, magician, or any other normal personality, he was definitely not the lover he had initially imagined, or a lover who was extremely evil.

There's no other reason than that Vil-V is behaving too consistently right now. You have to understand, both Lover and Extreme Evil are madmen; the only difference is that one is brainless and the other is intelligent.

They've already discussed this topic with Liu Bai, and this guy is still just jealous with a hint of depression and arrogance? Instead of starting to go crazy on the spot?

Although the Lover personality doesn't appear in front of Liu Bai very often, Liu Bai did see his Lover every morning for the past two or three years, who made him loving breakfasts. It's impossible for him not to know her well; in fact, Liu Bai could say that, apart from Vil-V's other personalities, he's the person he knows best with his Lover.

Moreover, the reason why Liu Bai realized that although this guy behaved normally, he was definitely not a conductor or other normal personality was quite simple.

Although those with normal personalities may have feelings of love for themselves, it is not their primary emotion, so they will behave strangely—for example, they would rather let Liu Bai bury his face in their chest, or even flirt with other people, than not finish their work first.

Jealousy is unlikely to occur to Vil-V in her normal personality, let alone emo or tsundere.

So Liu Bai suddenly realized that the person he was chatting with now might be his true self... that is, the most authentic Vil-V.

"Nonsense, who else could I be but Vil-V!"

Well, although Liu Bai felt he had spoken his mind, the real Vil-V in front of him was still consumed by jealousy.

"What's wrong with scientists? Can't they ask for comfort?"
