Someone in Honkai Picks Up a Kiana Chapter 48

Lin Nai sometimes suspected that the system had given them something that person had just casually written.

"Lin Nai, Lin Nai! Look!!"

Kiana excitedly pulled Lin Nai over, pointing at a street below… a street filled with anime aesthetics.

"That's a place we've never seen before! Oh! There are so many pretty characters!"

"Mhm, mhm."

Lin Nai humored Kiana, letting the other girl drag them around while quietly listening to Kiana's constant chatter.

During this, Lin Nai also gestured for Kiana to be a little quieter.

After all, Einstein and Tesla were sitting not far away, writing and drawing on a blueprint.

They were probably improving the mech design.

Meanwhile, Bronya was quietly searching for something on her phone.

Noticing this, Kiana grinned and went over.

"Shorty, what are you looking at?"

"Idiot Kiana, don't disturb Bronya."

Bronya unceremoniously pushed Kiana away with one hand, simultaneously turning off her phone screen.

In the moment the screen went dark, Lin Nai seemed to have caught a glimpse of Bronya's browser history.

Hmm…

What's the best way for two people to play games together?

Seriously.

There's no need to search for this, is there?

The first result was this.

The second result was how to grow taller.

It made sense. Bronya's emotions had already returned to a normal level.

Plus, Bronya's learning speed was anything but ordinary.

So now she understood many things.

And Kiana always liked to provoke Bronya, calling her shorty.

Sigh.

What could Bronya do now?

She was only 147 cm tall (which, rounding up, was close to Hare's height of 150 cm).

Lin Nai had seen Bronya's physical examination report last time.

She had originally estimated 150 cm, but it turned out to be 3 cm less.

As for other areas…

Lin Nai's assessment was that Kiana's current "scale" was quite large, and Bronya couldn't compare yet.

After all, the current Duck Duck was like that flat character from China who had lived for fifty thousand years without any change to her body.

If it were the post-Honkai era Duck Duck, maybe it would be different.

This scene, however, made Kiana full of curiosity: "Come on, tell me, what is it?"

"No."

Bronya flatly refused Kiana, got up from her seat, and ran to Lin Nai's side.

Kiana still crowded over, curiously asking Bronya.

Sitting to the side, Lin Nai felt like they were watching a husky.

Kiana was still as noisy as ever.

"Dr. Tesla, where are we staying tonight?"

Lin Nai, suddenly remembering, asked Tesla.

Tesla, who was biting on a pen, looked up. "Of course, we're staying at a hotel. Do you think I'd let you sleep under a bridge when we're out?"

"Don't worry, Lin Nai, I booked a deluxe suite, no need to worry," Einstein also looked up and said.

Lin Nai fell silent upon hearing this.

This included Kiana and Bronya, who were bickering over there.

How to put it.

Bronya was brought along by Lin Nai and Kiana that day.

And Lin Nai and Kiana had an unforgettable impression of the deluxe suite that day.

After all, while they were staying there, a large group of people suddenly burst in with guns pointed at them.

Hmm…

Tesla noticed the subtle expressions on the three people's faces and, with her hands on her hips, let out a triumphant "hmph" twice.

Instantly, she captured their attention.

"See, Bird's Nest Head! I told you renting a villa would be better than staying in some luxury suite. We can stay here for a few days!"

Tesla's true thoughts: Rent a secluded villa, then I'll have a place to do some research.

"…"

Einstein, of course, also noticed the slightly strange expressions on Lin Nai and the other two's faces.

"Um… is the luxury suite not good?"

"No, it doesn't matter where we stay, it's just that for the three of us… our impression of luxury suites is a little strange."

Kiana and Bronya nodded in agreement.

Even though they knew it was entirely an accident that time.

But honestly, Kiana's and Lin Nai's first reaction upon checking into a luxury suite should have been to check the situation on that entire floor.

There was no helping it.

If it had gone that way, they wouldn't have been able to stay in the so-called luxury suite.

At the time, Lin Nai hadn't hesitated at all, and had evacuated Kiana and Bronya.

They didn't forget to cover their tracks when they left.

Kiana had knocked out the security guard in the monitoring room again, and Lin Nai had given the front desk another dose of the physical memory erasure technique.

Then they started deleting the check-in information, and Kiana deleted the surveillance footage.

"Strange impression?"

Upon hearing this, Einstein tilted her head, her curiosity piqued at that moment.

Lin Nai didn't mind and told Einstein and Tesla about what had happened.

And so.

Einstein and Tesla fell silent.

It was fortunate that Lin Nai and the other two possessed formidable combat power.

If it had been ordinary people…

They might have already met a violent end.

The impression was indeed quite profound.

"Then let's listen to Dr. Tesla and rent a villa. We'll move in tonight."

Einstein picked up her water bottle, opened the cap, and took two gulps.

"That's more like it!" Tesla said with a smile, taking out her phone. Even though it was just for a few days, if she were in a luxury suite, she wouldn't have a place to do her research.

Moreover, she would definitely have to share a room with Bird's Nest Head, as Schicksal's funding was limited.

If she had to share a room with Bird's Nest Head, Tesla felt she would inevitably be nagged by that person for days.

This was because her own life skills were terrible, and her room was always a mess, making her look unkempt at home.

Yes.

She was often lectured by her mother hen, Einstein, because of this.

If it were a villa, Einstein wouldn't care what Tesla did in her room during that time.

Hmm…

Why not just buy a villa?

With that thought, Tesla quietly opened a property website, deciding to go all in and just buy one.

This way, she wouldn't have to rush to pack her things and leave.

She could just leave them there.

Tesla was too lazy to clean or organize her belongings, so she decided to solve the problem with money.

What did the shortage of research funds have to do with her personal savings?

Chapter 49: On the Matter of Tesla's Personal Savings

In the evening.

The group finally arrived in the Far East's Changkong City.

One could only say that Raiden Ryoma was quite wealthy.

He specifically found a venue for most of Schicksal's aircraft to land.

It was just unknown whether this land was rented or purchased by Raiden Ryoma, or perhaps it was just a random spot he found.

Lin Nai leaned more towards the first two ideas.

After all, Massive Electric Corp. was a world-renowned multinational electronics manufacturer.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to support Schicksal in the mass production of a large number of mechs.

Hmm...

Raiden Ryoma might have not only provided the venue and his life, but perhaps even the funding.

It seemed normal for ME Corp., with its substantial financial resources, to own a few plots of land.

It was just a shame.

ME Corp., with its substantial financial resources, later fell into Cocolia's hands.

Speaking of Cocolia.

Lin Nai felt it was necessary to visit Cocolia Orphanage in a while to check on the children.

As for Cocolia...

Lin Nai thought that if the other party hadn't become an Executor, it would have been fine.

After all, when Cocolia was still a soldier, she sent money back to the orphanage every month and felt guilty for aiming a gun at the innocent.

As expected.

Power changed many people.

Especially those with ambition.

"Long time no see, Dr. Tesla, Dr. Einstein."

Raiden Ryoma said respectfully.
