Chapter 211

Kevin hoped that he could calm his restlessness and remain on the edge of the World Bubble, like a still stone sculpture.

Chapter 288 The Little Cotton-padded Jacket is Leaky

Life in the World Bubble was very monotonous.

Even with the sweet and soft Seele by my side, the desolate city with nothing else still feels suffocating after a while.

Therefore, she had no choice but to start doing some serious work.

"Joachim, ah~"

"No, Ninti, you want it in your mouth too?"

"Joachim, be good, listen to the doctor, okay~~"

Wearing an oversized research coat, Ninti stood with a blank expression, holding a metal rod-shaped detector in her hand.

Seeing that Welt obediently opened his mouth, Ninti, while inserting the probe into his throat, explained earnestly with her little face:

"Ninti has learned so much from Sister Liesel and Sister Frederica. Although she's not quite a scientist yet, she should be able to come in handy. Don't be afraid, Ninti will do her best to heal you, Joachim."

This is a lie.

Unless Welt relinquishes his Herrscher Core, his injuries will only worsen under the corrosive power of the Herrscher in his current state. Healing is ineffective; at best, minor methods can only provide temporary relief. Ninti is treating this as an experiment.

But to be fair, a Herrscher cooperates obediently is actually a very rare experimental subject; even Mobius would drool over it.

With this in mind, Ninti suppressed her playful mood and instead focused on a comprehensive plan regarding human experimentation with Herrscher.

"The physical examination is over. Joachim, the data shows you are severely injured, with a large amount of Honkai Energy erosion in your body. It is corroding your life, and your willpower is clearly not keeping up with the damage."

"Ninti, you're amazing."

Welt sat up from the lab table, unconcerned about his diagnosis, but instead feeling proud of Ninti's expertise.

Look, this room full of incomprehensible experimental equipment was all created by Ninti holding his hand and using the Herrscher Authority of Reason.

What defines a genius?

As expected, the only person capable of inheriting Joyce's power is Ninti!

Ninti covered her face with her hands, lowered her head shyly, and said in a soft, sweet voice:

"Sister Frederica and Doctor Iserin say the same thing, but Sister Liesel says we shouldn't be arrogant, but rather work even harder to live up to this talent. Ninti doesn't quite understand, but her heart always races when Sister Frederica and the others praise her. It's the same when Joachim praises her."

Ninti picked up her fingers, looked up, and stared straight at Welt with her big, innocent eyes, like a child looking at their most trusted elder:

"Joachim, do you know why?"

"This is what happiness feels like."

Welt explained with utmost gentleness, his heart almost melting at Ninti's shy yet bewildered gaze.

Which elderly person could resist the sight of their innocent and ignorant child growing up before their very eyes?

Moreover, Ninti is Joyce's bloodline and was born from the most endearing experimental subject, which makes her even more touching.

Ninti stared blankly for a moment, then asked softly:

"Is this what happiness is?"

"Yes. Isn't it intoxicating? I hope I can always feel it, right?"

"Yes, Ninti likes this feeling. She feels this way when she's with everyone, especially when she sees Joachim!"

"Ninti..."

Welt's eyes reddened, and he couldn't help but reach out and gently embrace the little girl. His careful gesture was as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.

--Little Ninti said seeing me makes her happy!

She likes me!

--My life has been worthwhile!

The above is the inner roar of the second-generation Welt, who died without regret.

After accumulating a high level of goodwill, Ninti calmly pushed Welt away.

"Joachim, lend me some more strength; Ninti needs more equipment."

"Hmm? What else do you want to do?"

"Ninti is going to try to synthesize the Honkai Sickness Serum. The serum technology obtained by Mother Cocolia is quite mature, and mass production is just a few steps away. Ninti remembers the entire synthesis circuit, and given enough time, she should be able to make it. Theoretically, since this serum can clear Honkai Energy from the human body, it can also clear the excess energy in Joachim's body, relieving your burden. However, considering that the Honkai Energy in Herrscher is inexhaustible, some enhancements may be necessary... In short, Ninti will do her best to help Joachim recover!"

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

Hearing Ninti's soft voice and looking into her innocent eyes filled with concern, Welt agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Ninti smiled sweetly.

'Perfect. If this works on Joachim, then it'll be very useful for Kiana and Mei if they run into trouble later.'

What? Consequences?

There are no serious consequences. At most, Welt might not be able to take it and his body might break down. It's not the first or second time this has happened, so what's there to worry about?

The thoughtful little girl, oblivious to the drafts, even installed her own internal air conditioning.

Welt remained deeply moved.

When the two came out of the laboratory, in the clean and warm living room, Seele had just finished checking the test paper full of answers and slowly placed it on the table, a hint of unease on her face.

Ninti walked over, made a few gestures of rolling up her sleeves, and then took out her pair of fair and delicate little hands from the large lab coat before picking up Seele's test paper.

"Wrong, wrong, right, wrong, right..."

Ninti verbally announced the accuracy of each question, and then mentally calculated the answer:

"59 points, not passing."

"Waaah!"

Seele covered her face and let out a soft, pitiful wail, like that of a young animal.

Ninti asked with a serious expression:

Did Sister Seele secretly look at the book next to her while answering the questions?

"No, no! How can you cheat by looking at the book during an exam!"

Seele covered her face and shook her head rapidly.

Ninti glanced at the textbook on the table next to her and nodded.

"Yes, I believe in Seele."

Rosaliya and Liliya would definitely cheat if they found an opportunity, but Seele wouldn't. She's the kind of person who would immediately blame herself for being a bad child if she had such a thought; she's a pure and innocent good girl.

So Ninti said with relief:

"In just a few days, she's already caught up with Rosaliya and Liliya's progress over six months! Seele is amazing!"

The heartfelt praise from her younger sister made Seele lower her hand, and a glimmer of hope appeared in her teary eyes.

"Really? Really?"

"Yes, really!"

Rosaliya and Liliya have been taking extra classes for over six months, but they still haven't passed.

Everyone failed, so the progress is the same, no problem!

Seele blushed and giggled shyly.

"But Seele needs to work harder and catch up on the lessons she missed. Mom always says we need to learn more so we can do what we want in the future. Seele certainly doesn't want to go back and take the same classes as Rosaliya and Liliya, does she?"

Seele paused for a moment, then shook her head violently.

Absolutely not!

It wasn't that she had any prejudice against Rosaliya and Liliya, but as a good child, she simply couldn't accept being on the same level as those two mischievous little idiots!

Suddenly, Seele's enthusiasm for learning soared.

[My other self, could you...]

[No, I didn't hear you, get out!]

Inner Seele responded with a high-quality three-part combo.

Deep down, she held the textbook that Seele had been studying these past few days and tried to look at it carefully.

"Laugh!"

Half a minute later, Inner Seele tore up the book with a dark expression, went to bed, pulled up the covers, hugged Seele life-sized body pillow, and fell fast asleep.

While Ninti was conducting experiments with Welt and tutoring Seele, many other people in the real world were also busy with their own things.

"Thump!"

A petite girl in a white lab coat collapsed in front of the computer.

Her disheveled green hair lay scattered on the table, and dark coffee dripped from the table onto the floor, its color mirroring the rich hue around her eyes.

"Oh no! Doctor. Iserin has fainted again!"

"Didn't we tell her to urge her to rest on time?!"

"Doctor, where is the doctor!?"

"Where are the glucose, vitamins, and emergency adrenaline? Bring them out now!"

After a flurry of activity in the lab, Iserin was carried away on a stretcher.

Tesla, who also had dark circles under his eyes, glanced at it but then lost interest and continued analyzing and calculating on his computer.

Einstein, who was standing nearby, reached out his hand.

"Let's go outside and get some fresh air. That's enough for today."

"No, you go first, Chicken Messy Hair, I still have a little bit left to do."

"Do you want Yang and Ninti to feel guilty when they come back? Yang is one thing, but Ninti will definitely cry if she finds out you're like this."

"I..."

Tesla's fingers trembled, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his pale face.

Einstein grabbed her wrist and forcibly pulled Tesla up.

"Health is your most valuable asset. We're not Iserin; we don't need to follow her pace. Maintaining your own health is the fastest way to save them. You should understand this, Dr. Tesla."

"... Um."

The fiery red-haired girl with pigtails, who was usually the least likely to be lectured, was as docile as a silent little quail at this moment.

"They must still be safe and sound, waiting for us to open the way home, right?"

"Of course. Dr. Tesla, you must understand, Yang is Herrscher of Reason, and Ninti is a Herrscher- level powerhouse who can share Yang's powers. The two of them together are far more than just one plus one; no one can threaten this combination. Therefore, they are definitely waiting for us!"

"Chicken-head, you're right. I need to have faith in them and not lose my composure; that would only harm them."

Tesla wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed his vulnerability.

It was just a sudden loss of contact, just some minor dangers. In more than half a century of effort, haven't there been countless such situations? Besides, they had Iserin, who was even more dedicated than the two of them, helping them, and Cocolia shielding them from the storms outside. This was far better than during the Second Great Honkai.

So, everything will definitely go smoothly!

Tesla convinced itself of this.

Leave slip

I was dragged to work overtime on a Sunday and didn't get home until after 8 PM for dinner. Then my parents video-called me and told me to go on a blind date. Good heavens! I wouldn't be this upset if it were any other time. I'm exhausted and can't write anymore. I'm going to rest for the night. Sorry, goodnight.
