Let her grow up like this.
After that, Lin Nai chatted and drank with Siegfried.
As the rising sun climbed into the sky, draping all things in brilliant rosy light.
Siegfried left Anti-Entropy.
Lin Nai, meanwhile, grabbed a lounge chair and simply slept on the rooftop.
Chapter 47: Tesla: Otto Must Have Done It!
Lin Nai sat in a chair, yawning.
Tesla had dragged him down from the rooftop early in the morning.
To make sure Lin Nai was not late for class, Tesla always tried every possible way to wake him up.
Tesla: She was absolutely not abusing her authority for personal revenge! She was absolutely not getting back at Lin Nai for always provoking her!
Lin Nai: Yeah, like I'd believe that!
Einstein had never made him get up early. Every time, she gently let him sleep a little longer.
Seriously, Einstein was such a good person, QAQ!!
"Alright, stop looking so miserable. I didn't call you over for class this time."
"If it's not class, why did you wake me up?"
Lin Nai's expression was complicated. He had only gone to sleep around six in the morning.
And now it was eight-thirty.
So the question was, how long had he even slept before Lobster Doctor yanked him awake?
"There's something urgent," Tesla said awkwardly.
She knew it was not good to disturb someone's sleep.
But this matter was rather important.
"What is it? Did you take apart Heavenly Fire Judgment?" Lin Nai patted his face and forced himself awake.
Tesla shook her head as Einstein walked over with a report in hand.
"This is?"
"Do you remember when we met a week ago? You brought a tube of purple liquid out of that base."
"Huh?" Lin Nai blinked. "You only finished testing it now?"
He had thought Anti-Entropy had finished examining it long ago.
It was just that he had been completely occupied by classes and homework lately.
So he had not bothered to ask.
But even so, he had never expected the results to come out only today.
"We couldn't help it. We didn't know what that thing was specifically for, so it wasn't easy to test," Tesla said helplessly. "So we could only find a way to recreate the reagent."
"And then?"
"We learned a little, but not much," Einstein took over.
She placed the report before Lin Nai.
The specialized terminology and chaotic piles of data on it made Lin Nai's head hurt just looking at them.
Still, he pretended to understand as he examined it from top to bottom.
Einstein chuckled and took the report from his hands. "Put it down if you can't understand it."
"You knew I couldn't understand it, and you still gave it to me?!"
"Ein forgot."
Einstein restrained her smile, stuck out her tongue with a blank expression, then casually set the report aside.
"So what exactly is that thing?" Lin Nai asked.
Tesla said, "Well... it's an activator that can significantly increase the human body's resistance to Honkai energy. It activates and reorganizes the Stigmata fragments hidden within human genes, allowing them to fully manifest."
"Mm... but why did that guy turn out like that? The power he had at first obviously meant the activation succeeded, right?"
According to Bronya's description, after the injection, that person had let out a terrible cry before erupting into fierce combat.
"That's because there's a problem with the reagent."
Tesla's tone turned serious. If her and Einstein's deduction was correct.
What the other party wanted to create was an activator capable of significantly increasing the human body's resistance to Honkai energy.
However.
The process was extraordinarily difficult. Those who could not endure it would die, or even become walking corpses.
But judging from the current situation, even those who endured it could only gain power for a few minutes.
"Even if this reagent succeeds, it only grants a fraction of the power before turning the subject into a zombie. You could say it has no benefits at all."
Tesla shook her head helplessly. This thing was simply harmful!
"Dr. Tesla, who do you think might have researched this?" Einstein asked.
"Otto! Otto must have done it, that old man!"
Tesla slammed both hands on the table and, without hesitation, dumped this massive blame onto a certain blond man currently playing games somewhere.
Otto: ???
But Otto had done plenty of bad things already, so one more accusation probably would not be a problem.
Lin Nai, on the other hand, remembered something.
Back in Sky City, had that person named Jackal not been researching this sort of thing?
Which meant.
That base had been World Serpent's doing as well?
The person Bronya had seen, the one called Doctor, was very likely Jackal?
Mm...
Although Lin Nai rarely watched the story when playing games, he had still heard about and remembered some things.
"If it really was Otto, then this matter is not simple..." Einstein said thoughtfully.
Lin Nai leaned over the table, recalling something.
Jackal had begun conducting large-scale experiments at Kamidian Pharmaceuticals during the Sky City period.
But Lin Nai felt that.
Before Sky City, that person had probably already been secretly up to something.
"Forget it, why think so much? Soldiers come, generals block; water comes, earth dams."
Seeing the two Doctors frowning, Lin Nai spoke unconcernedly.
After speaking, he yawned. "Also, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
After all, he had only rested for two hours before that red-haired gremlin dragged him down from the rooftop.
Einstein, who had been discussing matters with Tesla, stopped and turned toward Lin Nai.
"Lin Nai, are you interested in taking a trip to the Far East?"
"Huh? The Far East? What would we do there?"
Lin Nai, who had risen from his chair and was about to leave, stopped in his tracks with a puzzled expression.
"We're planning to take you guys there for a couple of days of fun," Tesla added.
Lin Nai gave Tesla a suspicious look. Could things really be that simple?
"Hey, Lin Nai, what kind of expression is that? Why don't you trust me so much?!"
The red-haired Dr. Tesla grumbled angrily.
Whenever she mentioned something good, this brat immediately thought she had ulterior motives!
Lin Nai: Didn't she?
Ever since Tesla had tried to lure children away with candy.
This Lobster Doctor had possessed a Schrodinger's level of trustworthiness in Lin Nai's eyes.
She could be trusted with major matters.
For minor matters, something was bound to be off.
Tesla: Couldn't you be a little more tactful? Don't you know that look hurts?!
Fortunately, Einstein stepped forward to explain on Lobster Doctor's behalf.
"We developed some new component models. ME Corp. is in Changkong City in the Far East, so we plan to take you there to have a look."
ME Corp. mainly mass-produced mechs.
Researchers like Tesla and Einstein, meanwhile, studied the mechs and figured out how to upgrade them.
Some components were nearly ready now, so it was time to go over and explain things.
After Lin Nai had constructed Heavenly Fire Judgment, Tesla and Einstein had already been discussing this.
At the same time, Tesla wanted to stop Lin Nai from constantly eyeing her personal mech for dismantling.
Originally, Raiden Ryoma was supposed to come over, or they would simply transmit the information remotely.
But because of Lin Nai.
Tesla decided to bring him to ME Corp. This should make Lin Nai give up on the idea of dismantling mechs, right?
Lin Nai: No, I just want to dismantle Lobster Doctor's mech.
Tesla: Fuck you!
Chapter 48: The Noisy Husky Kiana
In short.
That was the reason.
So Lin Nai, Kiana, and Bronya followed Tesla and Einstein to Changkong City in the Far East.
Kiana leaned against the window, looking outside.
After the Siegfried incident, the child seemed more cheerful than before.
Mm...
Sunny, happy Kiana?
But that made sense.
After all, Kiana now knew that Siegfried had not suddenly left and deliberately abandoned her.
There had been a reason for it. He had gone to carry out an Anti-Entropy mission, though that mission did not exist at all.
But that did not stop everyone in Anti-Entropy from saying so.
Einstein had even added a document called Top Secret Mission to Anti-Entropy's files.
It was completely sealed away.
Even if it was uncovered someday, nothing would happen.
Inside was a compilation of Classical Chinese provided by Lin Nai's system, Martian language, and a whole pile of bizarre non-mainstream writing.
Not a single person in all of Anti-Entropy could understand it!
