Chapter 149

That MEI.

She was truly at her wit's end!

But.

"You want to laugh, don't you?" the Jackal said hatefully. "You must want to laugh at me, right? It's really hard for you to hold back."

"No, absolutely not." Raven immediately waved his hand and said, "I absolutely did not mean to laugh at you, Jackal."

"You should know that I have received professional training."

"I won't laugh no matter how funny something is."

"And what about your own affairs?"

'Unless I can't hold back any longer,' the Raven added to itself.

"You bastard!" The Jackal jumped up, ready to hit him.

"Wait!" Raven wasn't afraid of the Jackal at all. If the Jackal really made a move on her, Raven would be really happy and would want to teach the Jackal a lesson, to stop her from always having designs on the children of her orphanage.

But not now!

"I think you'd better think it over before you act," Raven said. "Can you win?"

"Moreover, we now have a new task."

"You're not planning to start some infighting right now, are you?"

Raven knew his limits; even if he disliked this guy, he wouldn't recklessly instigate internal strife. Basic team unity and knowing when to do what were fundamental principles.

The Raven still knew.

"Hmph." The Jackal decided to hold back.

We cannot help but feel sorry for them.

She can't afford to mess with Doctor Mei, and as for this Raven...

"Looks like you're planning to be Doctor Mei's dog," the Jackal said sarcastically. "You do whatever Doctor Mei tells you to do. What an obedient dog."

"What's wrong with being Doctor Mei's dog?" Raven said. "Some people don't even deserve to be dogs."

"Besides, this is Doctor Mei, what's wrong with that?"

"At least Doctor Mei won't tear down my doghouse."

"It's hard to say about the doghouses of some people."

The Jackal was speechless after being headbutted.

"Hmph." She could only snort coldly and say, "I'm not going to bother with a brat like you."

"We need to get on with the things Gray Serpent arranged as soon as possible."

What Gray Serpent arranged?

Gray Serpent planned to sow discord among Cocolia, for example, by having Raven and Jackal retrieve the Moon Throne that Cocolia had been holding captive.

Gray Serpent is a mercenary, not Cocolia's henchman.

Since Cocolia has already tried to provoke him, Gray Serpent will be happy to give Cocolia some trouble.

Since you had planned to target Doctor Mei before, and even took action,

Even if it doesn't succeed.

Cocolia also needs to know why the flowers are so red.

As for Schicksal...

"What did you say?" Otto exclaimed in surprise, "The laboratory is complete?"

"Didn't I say you were just slacking off? Did you find this construction team for me from back in China?"

"Yes." Rita said respectfully, looking on with great helplessness, "If we hire a work team in Africa, although they are also good at dawdling, they will be seen through immediately."

"I found a job in China, and I told them that I would be paid by the day."

"The more days you work, the more money you earn."

Rita is really helpless.

Want your workers and technicians to slack off? It's simple, just tell them you'll be paid by the day.

The method of calculating payment is very important; different methods of payment will affect the speed of the construction project. For example, payment can be made by the day.

Anyway, there's no mandatory amount of work to complete, so the price is the same whether you do a lot or a little.

The more days you work, the more money you earn.

People will naturally dawdle.

"How could it be fixed so quickly?" Otto said in shock. "Explain this to me! And didn't the doctor apply to stop construction? How could it be fixed so quickly?"

"To be precise, the construction workers left," Rita said. "The project has stopped."

"But didn't Kallen go to the World Serpent before?"

"And then?" Otto finally sensed something was wrong and said, "I remember you said she was going to bring two very promising children back to the Hyperion to be nurtured."

What does it matter?

"It looks like she dismantled someone's lab," Rita said, shrugging. "Bring the lab equipment back."

"I renovated the laboratory myself."

"Huh? Say it again so I can hear you?" Otto picked at his ear and said, "I didn't hear you clearly, say it again."

"This." Rita placed several photos on Otto's table.

"Lord Otto, please see for yourself."

"This is a laboratory that Kallen converted herself."

"Oh..." Otto picked up the photo, and the more he looked at it, the more something seemed off. The more he looked, the more he felt that a huge 'danger' must be floating above the Hyperion right now.

"This... it didn't explode?"

Otto, holding the photo, said in disbelief, "Something like this..."

"How was it made? Will it work?"

The once clean, simple, and technologically advanced laboratory, which looked like it was made up of various pieces of equipment that had been salvaged from who-knows-where, has been transformed.

It does have a high-tech feel, but there's a strange smell coming from somewhere, and the wiring is directly exposed.

If it weren't for knowing that Rita wouldn't lie to him.

Otto thought Rita didn't know she had filmed in a place full of wasteland and punk style.

"No." Rita also found it strange and said, "According to Kallen herself, she thought this thing would work and wouldn't explode."

"As long as it won't explode, it's usable."

"Can it work?" Otto asked incredulously.

"Well... I can't say for sure," Rita shook her head and said, "But at least it won't explode."

"Based on observation, although it always seems to be running on the dividing line between exploding and not exploding, this thing does seem like it really won't explode."

"It's just the appearance..."

That's a bit scary.

"What are you researching?" Otto asked.

"Honkai Energy," Rita said. "Kallen said she discovered a strange kind of Honkai Energy that might be useful. It could open up a completely new way to fight Honkai."

"Oh, right," Rita said, pulling out a bill. "You need to pay this bill."

"The construction team's money?" Otto said. "These guys..."

"No," Rita shook her head and said, "It wasn't the construction team's money."

"This is the repair cost for the Hyperion."

"To be precise, it's the dormitory maintenance, system maintenance, training room maintenance, and equipment procurement in the Goddess area."

"And the recent snack expenses."

"What?" Otto snatched the bill, staring at the long list of items. He was actually a little overwhelmed! He had been the Archbishop of Schicksal for so long.

He can still have such feelings.

"No," Otto said, holding the bill. "Are you sure this wasn't fabricated by Hyperion?"

"She did overstate a little bit," Rita said, gesturing. "I've already removed the overstated amount; this is the actual cost."

"So many?" Otto was even more panicked, feeling as if a turbulent time had arrived. The Anti-Entropy conservatives had just sent back news that they could immediately proceed with the Moon Throne as planned, so how did this happen now?

Otto said with a troubled expression, "Didn't the Hyperion just get maintenance?"

Even if the landlord's family has some surplus grain, they can't afford to squander it like this, can they?

"Yes," Rita said. "These two were caused by the Valkyrie Rosaliya and Liliya that Kallen brought up."

"They are indeed very promising Valkyrie."

From the perspective of demolishing houses, it certainly has great potential.

Since joining the Hyperion.

The Hyperion will need maintenance again.

This Honkai Energy.

Nature is the energy source of the system.

"It seems..." MEI pushed up her glasses, holding a file in her hand, and said, "The source of this power doesn't come from my own body."

MEI told Rita that he was ostensibly researching Honkai Energy, but in reality, he was researching the system.

Of course, it's not entirely wrong for MEI either.

Because a tiny bit of the system's energy was detected along with the Honkai Energy.

So why is MEI so concerned about the system? It's not just because the system is messing with her. It's simply because things happen to coincide: MEI is a PhD researcher of Honkai Energy.

The more similar it is to COSMEI, the more in-depth the research on Honkai should be, and the more we should fight against Honkai.

The system's energy seems to be somewhat related to the Honkai.

Therefore, the research system can also be considered a branch of Honkai research, and the research system can also be used to fight against Honkai.

In this way, we can both improve our understanding of MEI and gain a clearer understanding of the system.

System, you didn't expect that, did you!

Chapter 175 Dangerous Island

"This is a very interesting force."

MEI said while sipping her coffee, "What, aren't you interested in this?"

"Otto?"

Otto has come to the Hyperion.

Although Otto planned to come to the Hyperion, he didn't intend to arrive so soon. He still had matters to attend to. Right now, the most important thing was likely to add a new warship to Schicksal's fleet.

Moon Throne.

But...

Now Otto has no choice but to hurry up and check on the Hyperion.

Ever since MEI brought back two anti-ship Valkyrie from World Serpent.

Otto was initially unwilling to believe it; he had assumed it must be Ai- Hyperion, the Hyperion's AI that had falsely reported a large number of repair and maintenance projects.

After all, this guy does have a criminal record.

They also made false reports this time.
