Chapter 201

No wonder this feeling is so familiar!

It's her! The one from the last era.

It's impossible for anyone else but her to know her real name.

Hi-Fyūmaru began to tremble slightly. She felt both fear and hatred towards Doctor Mei. Doctor Mei's presence and her research had indeed served a protective function.

However, this protection did not last until the end, and she still died at the hands of those who feared her.

It was also Doctor Mei's doing that he was ultimately sealed inside the box.

"You bastard... you bastard..." Hi-Fyūmaru trembled all over, unable to tell if it was fear or anger, as he said, "You're not..."

What is it not?

Doctor Mei may indeed be frighteningly calm, but Li Pu is not merely the reincarnation of Doctor Mei.

She is the reincarnation of Kallen, the reincarnation of Doctor Mei, and she also carries the aura of another person.

And that person's aura is gradually taking over.

Hi-Fyūmaru didn't know this person, but she gave him a completely different feeling. She was so gentle, so kind.

She is a loving person, someone who truly cares for herself and helps her overcome her fears.

This isn't an act; this is just how I feel.

That feeling, like that of a mother!

Why... why! This feeling is happening to him!

Why? Shouldn't he hate himself at this moment? He's about to die, his own body has been pierced through. There's no way he can survive!

It's hatred! It's hatred!

Shouldn't they hate the me who killed them?

Why... why do you still love me like a mother?

Go and touch me!

Love like a mother, embrace like a mother, caress like a mother. Without a trace of hatred, without a trace of regret.

It's like a mother tolerating her naughty child who makes mistakes.

"I'm sorry... Ring..." She was so gentle, even so remorseful.

Like a mother who has failed in her responsibilities, she begs for her child's forgiveness.

"Child... I'm sorry, I could have done better back then but I didn't."

"Please allow me to spend the rest of my life saving you and protecting you."

"Please do not fall into the abyss in this world."

"I will always love you."

"Bell."

"My dear child."

Chapter 231 My Warship

"My head hurts, I want to drink some cola."

Dreams eventually end.

The first thing I do after waking up.

"What? The 'Motherly Love' quest is completed just like that?" Li Pu immediately checked his system. The quest about Cecilia, which had been stuck for a long time, was finally finished.

"Ah... this dream... can really be done like this."

Li Pu rubbed his temples.

How to put it in the end? This is what Cecilia and MEI finally accomplished. Part of MEI's knowledge concerns the Divine Key.

One of the most crucial pieces of information is the Twelfth Divine Key.

The Twelfth Divine Key was created based on the 'Rin'.

There isn't much information about the Herrscher 'Rin'.

However, there are some that are quite important.

For example, she was inherently good, and she disobeyed MEI's orders to kill 'Rin,' leading to her complete Herrscherization. Based on this limited information, Li Pu deduced that 'Rin' lacked love.

Since there's a lack of 'love', that makes things easier.

It was Cecilia's turn to play.

In the established lore, Cecilia once touched Sirin with love. If she could touch Sirin, then touching 'Rin' shouldn't be too difficult, right?

In any case, there is a special skill called "load save" for that situation.

Li Pu doesn't need to worry about dying.

If you fail to reform them, just reload the save file.

It seems simple enough, but completing it is not so simple. First, you have to eliminate the purpose, and eliminate things like 'completing the task' or 'escaping the dream'.

Let's look at this from a purely emotional perspective.

This emotion is maternal instinct.

This is also one of Cecilia's characteristics, and what Li Pu needs to do is to maximize this 'maternal' quality.

By combining some of MEI's knowledge with Cecilia's characteristics, this was the first time Li Pu had integrated elements of both characters into a single application. It was both a breakthrough and an experiment.

MEI is absolutely calm and analyzes everything with composure.

She has absolutely no love for 'Rin', who is also known as 'Hi-Fyūmaru'.

For MEI, 'Rin' was simply the most challenging topic she encountered in her research on Honkai. It was the first time she had gained nothing after in-depth research, making it her most disappointing and perplexing experience.

MEI's protection of 'Rin' is not for the sake of protecting 'Rin' as a person, but rather for protecting an 'experimental subject'.

From MEI's perspective, this is the truth, and this truth is a protective bell.

Therefore, from Rin's perspective, MEI was indeed protecting her.

Although she was ultimately saved.

But this is a breakthrough point! This is where Cecilia needs to step in; if she can influence Sirin, she can definitely influence Rin. But to truly influence Rin, she must understand Cecilia very well.

You don't necessarily have to know everything, but you should at least know how Cecilia influenced Sirin.

Was it for a specific purpose?

No, this maternal love is real, and only the most genuine love is the most infectious.

Therefore, even after laying down their weapons and defenses and enduring the attacks from Hi-Fyūmaru, they do not feel hatred or regret, only apology and love.

True maternal love.

This isn't just ordinary role-playing; it's about becoming the real Cecilia.

Go and warm the bell with the true love of a mother.

Go protect her, dispel the fear and hatred in her heart, and awaken the kindness within her.

It looks like it was a success.

Very successful.

Upon waking up and logging into the system, Cecilia found that the "Motherly Love" quest was complete. She also received a new lottery draw, and her knowledge points increased by 15%.

This value is now on par with MEI, which currently has the highest value.

It's worth noting that MEI's knowledge value was boosted by the system once.

Cecilia's IQ is now the same as MEI's IQ.

'Could this unlock something about Cecilia?' Li Pu wondered, stroking his chin.

'Kallen's understanding has also increased, but it's still not as much as Cecilia's.' Li Pu looked at Kallen's understanding. Kallen's understanding had only increased by 9%.

"Only a 9th grade increase?" Li Pu scratched his head and said, "I feel like this number is a bit malicious."

It's exactly 9, no more, no less. Even though the dream was centered around Kallen, it significantly boosted Cecilia's understanding.

On the contrary, Kallen's understanding value only increased by 9.

I don't understand this operation.

It's not bad, though.

Li Pu counted his characters on his fingers. The characters he had drawn so far were: Bed King, Cecilia, Kallen, MEI, and Soul of the Underworld.

Due to the system's assistance, MEI and Soul of the Underworld have very high stats.

MEI's knowledge value was the highest before Cecilia's knowledge value was increased.

Now, thanks to the dream, Cecilia's knowledge has caught up.

According to the ranking based on knowledge value, MEI and Cecilia are on par, followed by Soul of the Underworld, with Kallen close behind, and Bed King at the lowest.

'This Bed King's knowledge value...' Li Pu looked at the Bed King's knowledge value.

This value is really, really stable.

It has been very stable from the beginning until now.

Basically, nothing has changed.

"It seems," Li Pu muttered to himself, arms crossed, "That increasing the 'Bed King' knowledge value might require some rather complicated conditions."

The character "Bed King" was one that Li Pu himself would have forgotten existed if he hadn't checked the system.

Um...

Never mind that for now.

What should I smoke next?

Li Pu looked at the system interface again and tried to draw a prize. One chance to win—what should he choose? This equipment...this quest...this character...?

Let's draw a character!

After a second of thought, Li Pu made his decision.

Draw characters!

Let's draw the equipment later. Once we figure out the system thoroughly, won't we get the equipment every time we draw it?

Draw characters.

On the Hyperion at this time, the early-rising huskies had already begun foraging for food. Oh, no, the early-rising Rosaliya had already begun foraging for food.

She hadn't had a snack all night.

Rosaliya felt that coming to the Hyperion was one of the worst decisions she had ever made. Mei had said that there were plenty of snacks to eat here.

However, even though there were plenty of snacks, you couldn't just eat them as much as you wanted.

There are so many snacks available, we can't just eat them all.

This is just so frustrating!

Rosaliya hadn't had any snacks all night, and she was determined to have a delicious treat today.

Rosaliya headed toward the kitchen.

But after walking only halfway, they smelled a strange fragrance.

"Oh?! This!!!" Rosaliya's eyes lit up instantly. This taste! It tastes like dessert! And it tastes like top-quality dessert!

Rosaliya guarantees with her own reputation that this is absolutely top-notch dessert.

Wow! This is a top-quality dessert that you've never smelled on a ship before.

Could it be...

Could someone be stealing food?!
