A Daughter's Refinement

Slow and undisciplined people will eventually be eliminated.

"Hmm... how about I introduce you to some friends?"

"... Like you, 'Father'?"

Pellervy's tone carried a hint of disdain.

"Didn't you get along quite well with Krelay? She seems like a lively girl."

"Being lively doesn't mean being a headache."

Pellervy's rebuttal left Liu Bai speechless.

"... Am I a headache for you? I've hardly ever needed you to use your brain, have I?"

After a brief silence, Liu Bai delivered a rebuttal that left Pellervy speechless.

... You know what, it's true.

The tasks arranged by Liu Bai require virtually no intellectual ability from the executors.

Chapter 183 A Daughter's Upbringing

"Father, Father! It's time for you to get up."

Early in the morning, Liu Bai heard a cold voice calling out to him.

"Um... good morning, A... Peru."

Liu Bai groggily opened his eyes, only to be met with Pellervy's cold gaze.

I almost called myself Arlecchino.

There's no way to group them together. The fins of the mature period are too similar to "Tail". Even the clothes are the same. At most, it's just that the current I is still a bit thin.

"Good morning." Seeing that Liu Bai was awake, Pellervy's cold expression softened slightly.

"Wait, it's only seven o'clock?"

"Is there a problem?" Pellervy asked in return.

She has decided to correct her new "father's" lifestyle habits.

"You should be a role model for others."

"... It's such a cold winter, and I'm not even going to school... please have mercy on me."

Liu Bai tried to shrink back into the covers, but Pellervy pulled the covers off him.

"..."

"...? Give me back my blanket first before making that face, okay?"

"... Why aren't you wearing pajamas?"

"I don't sleep naked, so whether I wear pajamas or not is a matter of personal choice!"

"..."

This guy is surprisingly muscular?

Pellervy suppressed her curiosity and prevented her gaze from drifting downwards, then slowly walked to the window.

"Hey... Peru..."

Click!

Without hesitation, I opened the window, and a howling cold wind quickly rushed into the entire room.

"He murdered his father!"

"Wouldn't it be better to just get up earlier?"

In the corridor, Pellervy followed behind Liu Bai, speaking in a cold, didactic tone.

Who exactly is the "father"?

"Peilu".

"What are your orders, Father?"

"I prefer little cotton-padded jackets."

"Oh."

What a cold and perfunctory reply...

"Krelay is awake?"

"Don't even think about making a move on Krelay."

Liu Bai glanced at the favorability rating. Last night, Pellervy's favorability rating increased by 10 points, and it is now 60.

The favorability rating feels like 6...

Even a disciplinary committee member Sara with only 60% favorability can tolerate him...

However, it's somewhat surprising that it only increased by ten points. Is it because Kuzkavina is the real mountain weighing on her?

"From now on, you'll have to get up at six in the morning. Consider today as getting used to it."

"Hey, Peroo."

Don't go too far.

"You can do it, start by changing your lazy habits."

Ah... can I return this daughter?

"Good morning, BOSS... Oh my, little Peluru looks very serious."

In the cafeteria, Kafka looked at Liu Bai and Pellervy with an air of nonchalance, as if she were talking without any real understanding of the situation.

"... Little Gui, does Liu Bai have a burden to carry?" Firefly nudged Guinaifen beside her and asked curiously.

"..."

What on earth is this guy thinking?

Guinaifen rolled her Firefly.

A burden? You're lucky you're not a philanderer!

If they weren't really familiar with each other, would he have urged Liu Bai like this?

"Good morning, everyone." Pellervy said she would help get the food, so Liu Bai sat down next to Mobius.

"Wow~"

Seeing Liu Bai sit down next to him, Mobius happily reached out and patted Liu Bai's head.

"I guess you want to ask about the Kuzkavina Chamber, little mouse?"

"Yes, no wonder he's the Doctor."

Although it wasn't a difficult guess, Liu Bai's praise still brought a smile to Mobius.

"Father, please have your meal." Pellervy bowed slightly, placed the plate in front of Liu Bai, and then stood behind him.

She was also very interested in Mobius's conclusions.

Mobius squinted at Pellervy before speaking, "Simply put, Kuzkavina has some information from the Babel Tower."

"Core information?"

"No, strictly speaking... it's a reference book?"

Mobius gave a somewhat disdainful smile.

"Even if Sirin hadn't destroyed all the core data, Otto would have destroyed it himself. If Kuzkavina really had the core data of the Babel Tower experiment, she wouldn't be alive today."

Such a cold and speechless comment.

"In short, the reference book mainly records the enhancement of Honkai energy. Oh, there's a misunderstanding. Although the experiment resulted in the creation of Herrscher, it actually has nothing to do with Herrscher. I was invited to participate in the experiment years ago and learned a bit about it."

Mobius wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"If I remember correctly, the main experimental project of the Babel Tower —or rather, the Babylon Lab —was the technology of combining Honkai energy with the human body. Well, it's not such a strange project. The scope is actually very broad, even including Schicksal's artificial Stigmata technology."

Wow... It feels really strange to hear this from Mobius, who was supposed to be the creator of the Stigmata.

"However, Schicksal has gone a bit too far—although such experiments inevitably involve human beings."

After all, the research focuses on the technology of combining Honkai energy with the human body, and human experimentation is an unavoidable part of it.

"Those guys are lazy. They could have used money to recruit volunteers, but they chose to take the orphans away directly."

How much does a volunteer cost? If all else fails, you can just scam them. Why go and arrest orphans and take them in? Fine, taking them in is one thing, but the experiments are inhumane, and their daily lives are probably inhumane too.

They can't even raise mice properly, how did those guys graduate?

"Then, the Babylon Lab is the second Great Honkai research institute in Schicksal, and it has the third largest Honkai reactor in the world, which has a power of 6500hw."

Mobius looked at the curious (ignorant) eyes around him and rubbed his temples.

"Quantifying it, this thing is enough to support three Herrscher Great Honkai. Taking the Berlin Honkai as a reference, a normal event would only consume around 2000 hw. Of course, normally their isolation of Honkai equipment such as furnaces is quite thorough."

"... But we can't stop the research on combining Honkai energy with the human body, so we have to inject Honkai energy into the girls, right?"

At this point, Liu Bai understood that the isolation of the second largest laboratory of Schicksal was definitely not a problem, but the experiment itself was rather reckless.

"Yes, that was a huge breeding ground for 'gulls'. Sirin was probably the most resilient and adaptable girl there. Well, in hindsight, with that kind of work attitude at Babylon Lab, it was bound to fail sooner or later."

Who raises mice like this? You'd think they were raising pigs.

"Little white mouse, be good~ ah~~"

Mobius picked up a piece of meat, smiling as he looked at Liu Bai.

Looking at Mobius's irresistible smile, Liu Bai had no choice but to open his mouth and let Mobius feed him.

"Good girl, good girl~"

Mobius, as if rewarding someone, pressed Liu Bai into his chest.

White... soft... big... fragrant...

"Awooo—!"

"What's wrong, Little Gui?"

All eyes turned to Guinaifen had suddenly let out a scream.

A few beads of cold sweat appeared on Guinaifen's face as she forced a smile and said, "It's nothing... it's nothing."

Under the table, Guinaifen brushed away Firefly's hand.

You should either pinch Liu Bai, pinch Mobius, or pinch yourself. Why are you pinching me?

It's purple... it's definitely been pinched until it's purple.

"... You haven't mentioned the specific content of the reference book yet."

Pellervy had absolutely no interest in the intimate interactions between Liu Bai and Mobius.

"A brat with absolutely no comprehension."

Mobius released Liu Bai and used a tissue to wipe the oil stains from Liu Bai's lips off his chest.

"You kids who survived the Second Honkai Eruption have been born with proven aptitude for Honkai. All we need to do is select a King of Honkai and then... find an opportunity to inject a large amount of Honkai energy into you."

"If I were a Herrscher, could she control me?" Pellervy frowned; she didn't have any leverage over Kuzkavina.

Even without changing, she could still kill Kuzkavina, let alone with the change.

"So Kuzkavina hasn't done anything further to you, and she's recruited another batch of children," Kuzkavina Domination added from the side. "And Kuzkavina doesn't want Herrscher; she wants a weapon that obeys her commands."

Kuzkavina's eyesight was sharp enough; Pellervy Kuzkavina her Remembrance and knew from a young age that Pellervy an unconventional personality.

For example, while she was brainwashing the children with stories, Pellervy burying her little spider alone in the yard...

Unsociable, but talented.

Kuzkavina may have realized earlier than Pellervy that she and Pellervy didn't get along—but she had always treated the children as tools, so their incompatibility was simply a matter of them not being "handy."
