Experiments attempting replication will encounter all sorts of problems.

Well, like equipment malfunctions, lost data, and all sorts of other messy things.

Not to mention Honkai itself; it seems like developing technology means Honkai evolves too.

So he'll probably have to stop it.

Never mind failing to achieve anything, even just upgrading technology and causing Honkai to level up during the process isn't a good thing.

Let's just hope he doesn't say something like: "The situation is critical, let's kill Dr. Lobster!"

"I know, I know, I was just asking..." Tesla said helplessly.

She was simply curious about when Lin Nai had awakened.

As for imitation...

That kind of power is something current technology can't replicate, right?

However, seeing him say that so seriously, she honestly wanted to mess up Lin Nai's face.

Chapter 24: Tesla Hiding in the Closet

Tesla suddenly stopped: "Speaking of which, you're not saying that because you forgot when you awakened, are you?"

Lin Nai fell silent. To be honest, he had indeed forgotten the exact time.

"Hahahahahahahaha!!" Tesla slapped the table and burst into laughter.

Lin Nai didn't hesitate to smack Tesla on the head.

"It's late at night, don't disturb my rest!"

"Ouch! Damn it! How can you be so disrespectful, you brat! Have no manners at all."

"I don't need to be polite to you at all."

How dare you, a telegraph machine, talk about him being impolite!!!

"Mmm... alright, next question."

"There's more?"

"Of course?" Tesla raised an eyebrow. This was an investigation, how could it end so simply?

Do you think it's like a game survey, where you just pick something and then fill out a form saying: "Not difficult enough"?

"Fine, what else do you want to ask?"

"Oh, I just wanted to ask, Lin Nai, are there any limitations when you use those moves?"

"No."

Lin Nai replied, "At the very least, I can use them consecutively, but I haven't tried to see how many times I can use them in a row."

"Is that so..."

Tesla looked at Lin Nai like he was a monster. This kid, so his ultimate moves could be used multiple times in a row?

Lin Nai: Heh, if only I had a Photon Destroyer, I could show you what a second charge looks like.

Hmm...

Tesla's mind raced.

If Lin Nai could unleash that kind of energy without limit, how terrifying would that power be?

And add a mobile item to that.

Where did this kid come from, a mobile artillery piece?

Knock knock knock.

"Lin Nai, are you in there?"

A knock sounded, and Einstein's voice came from outside the door.

Tesla and Lin Nai exchanged glances.

"Why is the spiky-haired girl here?"

"How should I know?"

"Then... then..."

Tesla turned and ducked into the closet, this bizarre behavior making Lin Nai's head fill with question marks.

No.

I mean.

There was nothing to begin with, let alone his age, which isn't that great, so there couldn't be anything.

You going in there like this is just weird...

But Lin Nai completely didn't understand the relationship between Tesla and Einstein.

After all...

It was late at night, and she had come to a boy's room. Even though they both knew nothing would happen.

Dr. Einstein would definitely find a way to tease her.

What would Tesla do then? There would be no way to explain it!

So, she could only hide first.

At the same time, Tesla also wanted to see what Einstein was up to, so she could find a way to tease her back.

Creak—

"Lin Nai? Am I disturbing you?"

"No, Dr. Einstein, what is it?" Lin Nai snapped back to attention and asked.

Einstein casually glanced at the wardrobe and took out a form.

Lin Nai: "..."

It felt familiar.

"I have a few questions for you, it's about the plan going forward."

Einstein sat down properly and placed the form on the desk.

Lin Nai blinked. "Okay... ask away..."

"What are the limits of Lin Nai's power?"

"None."

Einstein nodded, her expression unreadable, and wrote on the document with a pen.

"Can it be released continuously?"

"Uh... yes..."

"Understood."

Einstein scribbled and drew on the form, but Lin Nai felt like she wasn't writing at all.

Looking at her movements...

Lin Nai thought it was more like drawing.

"Lin Nai."

"Hm? What is it, Dr. Einstein?"

"No, I just feel like you're a bit distracted. Are you worried about going to Schicksal?"

Einstein asked, subtly glancing at the closet.

Her eyes held a playful glint.

Silly Dr. Tesla, she didn't even realize her skirt was caught, and she was still hiding there.

Didn't that woman know that hiding would only make her the target of teasing?

"A little..."

Lin Nai didn't know Einstein had discovered Tesla, she just nodded.

Einstein remained expressionless, but her tone softened slightly.

"It's alright, Schicksal is a good place, and no one will do anything bad there."

"Is that so..."

Lin Nai found that hard to believe. After all, in the future, not to mention Cocolia cloning the leader of Schicksal.

Just the radical faction led by Cocolia was definitely not good.

Speaking of which, Honkai's technology was truly outrageous.

"Yes, don't worry. If you don't get used to it at Schicksal, you can always come to me and Dr. Tesla. Dr. Tesla and I will help you."

Einstein said gently.

Not to mention that this child might become a main force against Honkai in the future.

Just the impression she gave was good, both the first impression and her willingness to save people.

Besides, it was their decision, hers and Tesla's, to bring them to Schicksal.

So naturally, they had to take responsibility.

"Alright, then I won't disturb you anymore. If you have any more questions, you can test them slowly after going to Schicksal."

Einstein put away the form and stood up. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a knock on the door again.

Then...

Einstein turned and walked towards the closet, leaving Lin Nai utterly bewildered.

Honestly.

Due to his fatigue, his mind was already starting to drift.

Most of the time, she couldn't react in time.

She just watched as Einstein opened the cabinet door.

"Dr. Tesla, move aside a bit. Einstein needs to hide too," Einstein said as she walked in and closed the cabinet door.

Inside the cabinet.

Tesla finally reacted, "You messy-haired woman! You knew I was in here all along, didn't you?!"

Einstein nodded. "Einstein saw Dr. Tesla enter Lin Nai, but the room was already occupied."

Tesla's expression froze.

Then what was she hiding from?

What was she hiding from?!

Tesla felt like she had suffered too many heavy blows throughout the day.

First, her mecha was scrapped, and then she was caught red-handed by Einstein late at night.

Sigh...

Chapter 25: The Person Outside and the Person Inside the Cabinet

Lin Nai ignored the two people communicating inside.

She opened the door.

Kiana was standing at the entrance, which surprised Lin Nai.
