Honkai Simulator: Not for Kidnapping Herrschers!

A short while later, the girl finally woke up and instinctively stretched her waist.

Then, she realized the place was very quiet.

Kiana tilted her head subconsciously, looking around the classroom. She found that besides one other girl, everyone else was gone.

"Um..."

The girl said timidly, "Kiana, everyone went to P.E. class."

"P.E. class, ah, okay."

Kiana stood up instinctively, then looked at the girl. "Speaking of which, Yuno, why aren't you in class? Were you bullied again?"

Yuno shook her head, then said admiringly, "No, ever since Kiana-chan helped me that time, no one has bullied me anymore."

Little stars of adoration flickered in her eyes.

"That's good," Kiana said, relieved. "Then let's go too."

Chapter 49: Kiana, Do You Want to Save the World?

"Based on what I know so far, Anti-Entropy has effectively split. Cocolia, representing the radical faction, has actually taken control of ME Company, the conservative faction's money bag. The conservatives have been utterly defeated."

In the car, Chen Ran was explaining the current situation to Wendy and Raiden Mei.

"However, the conservative faction isn't completely sitting idly by. At least Raiden Ryoma's safety isn't a concern. The most important issue now is that Cocolia might trigger a large-scale Honkai event in Changkong City. I have no information on the location of the Honkai energy reactor buried beneath Changkong City."

He drove while recounting the situation from memory. "Speaking of which, Miss Wendy, how skilled are you at intelligence work, like with computers?"

"The Far East Branch doesn't provide much education in this area. I'm afraid I can only offer combat assistance."

Wendy said with a hint of apology.

A qualified Valkyrie should be able to pilot aircraft and tanks, tear apart Honkai Beasts and Titans, and recognize all sorts of weapons, network parameters, and code.

But it was clear that the Far East Branch didn't have such generous conditions.

From its establishment to the present, the Far East Branch had only been around for seven years, and they didn't even have enough teachers. It could be said that having a student like Wendy was an unexpected bonus for the Far East Branch.

Chen Ran sighed. "Alright."

His role was a Schicksal agent tasked with monitoring Kiana, so he did have some basic knowledge of intelligence work.

"Ms. Raiden Mei, let Wendy stay with you during this time. I'm worried someone might make a move against you next."

Raiden Mei remained silent.

She had already learned that the Conquest Gem had been injected into her body, and Cocolia's goal in triggering the large-scale Honkai event was for her.

Although she didn't know when the gem was injected into her body, her current situation was extremely dangerous.

Wendy asked Chen Ran, "What about you?"

"I'm going to pick up the last teammate."

At Chiyou Academy.

Kiana was in P.E. class.

Although she was a slacker who slept in cultural classes, Kiana was undoubtedly a genius among geniuses in P.E.

No matter the sport, Kiana excelled, even stealing the spotlight.

Students are generally very pure; if someone excels in a certain field, they will likely become an idol.

Kiana was just like that.

Even though she always slept in class, she was the center of attention for her classmates after class.

Satou Yuno, an outsider, watched Kiana with unconcealed envy.

She wished she could be by Kiana's side like the other students, but in the class's social hierarchy, the unremarkable Satou Yuno was at the very bottom.

Before Kiana transferred in, she was the one who was always bullied. Even after Kiana transferred, she was still bullied, though the situation had lessened somewhat.

However, Kiana couldn't always be with Satou Yuno.

Most of the time, the girl could only watch Kiana, who shone like the sun, like a speck of dust.

"Hey, Yuno, what are you doing?"

Kiana walked over casually. "It's not good to not exercise during P.E. class."

The girl timidly shook her head. "No, I prefer it to be quiet."

She was speaking against her will.

She envied Kiana's ability to be the center of attention, but she couldn't learn from Kiana. Years of being ignored and bullied had made her subconsciously avoid people's gazes.

The girl even took a special route home, walking through dark and secluded alleys.

Just as Satou Yuno was thinking about what to say to Kiana, someone suddenly walked over, causing her to change her words subconsciously.

"Teacher Chen."

Chen Ran, who had found Kiana, simply nodded at Sato Yunna. He looked at Kiana and said with a half-joke, "Kiana, there's a chance to save the world right now. Are you in?"

Kiana rolled her eyes. "Mr. Chen, I recall you're from Shenzhou. When did you start speaking so dramatically?"

"Saving the world, while I'm willing to, the world isn't in crisis right now."

Chen Ran calmly uttered two words: "Honkai."

Kiana's eyes immediately sharpened.

"Alright, now we have everyone."

In a residential house, Chen Ran looked at the three girls before him and said with a half-joke, "Three out of four are minors. If this world is to be saved by us, it's truly doomed."

Raiden Mei said, "So you're always this poor?"

Kiana said indignantly, "Don't look down on people."

Wendy said seriously, "If we encounter trouble we can't handle, I can call for backup anytime."

Chen Ran shrugged indifferently. "The situation isn't that bad. Now that everyone knows each other, how about we have some team-building? Like going to Hormone Amusement Park?"

Raiden Mei said coldly, "It's not playtime right now."

Kiana agreed, "I support it."

Wendy, on the side, mused, "Are you thinking that if Cocolia makes a move, she'd choose a crowded amusement park?"

Chen Ran quipped, "No, I just want to relax."

Wendy: "..."

"Alright, enough joking. We'll head out to investigate ME Company next," Chen Ran paused and said, "Miss Raiden Mei, the most crucial part will be entrusted to you."

World Serpent, Elysian Realm.

Wendy didn't rush into the trial of the imprints. Of course, the main reason was that Elysia, who called herself Pink Fairy Lady, knew a lot about Chen Ran.

"Oh my, so Chen Ran's girlfriend is from fifty thousand years later. No wonder he sounded so wistful when he showed that photo back then."

Wendy instinctively froze. "He showed it?"

"Uh-huh. Yes. It was during a Flame-Chaser team-building event, a game of truth or dare organized by Kevin. I was there too. Eden hadn't joined the Flame-Chasers yet, it was a very early period."

Elysia smiled charmingly. "The photo was brought out then. He's been carrying it with him all along."

Wendy fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a stream of information appeared abruptly in her mind.

Elysia tilted her head. "What's wrong? Are you touched?"

Wendy shook her head and asked with a somewhat troubled expression, "I have some extra memories in my brain, from a year ago. In your era, have you encountered such a situation?"

"I can believe that my first meeting with him was this year, but the extra memories in my consciousness tell me that I met him last year when I was on a mission in the Far East."

Elysia mused, "You mean, things that happened later, but their time was brought forward?"

Wendy nodded.

"I'm very sorry, but this is the first time I've heard of something like this," Elysia said regretfully. "The Elysian Realm doesn't have memory records related to Chen Ran. I mentioned it to him before, but he refused. I think I know why he refused now."

Chen Ran was adjusting time and fate.

Chapter 50: ME Company

If the people of Changkong City were to describe ME Company, they would most likely use two words: rich.

If they had to be more precise, they would say: extremely rich.

"Wow, so Mei is a young lady from a wealthy family."

As Kiana looked at ME Company from afar, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. "Such a tall building, how rich must Mei's father be?"

Raiden Mei, on the other hand, looked a bit strange. "You're a student at Chiyou Academy. You don't recognize me?"

Kiana blinked. "Is Mei famous?"

"Isn't the famous one at Chiyou Academy the 'Thunder Queen'?" the girl quipped. "But who would name themselves Queen..."

She belatedly realized something.

Raiden Mei said helplessly, "The 'Thunder Queen' you're talking about is me."

Kiana instinctively scratched her head. "So that's how it is. One person has two names..."

"Is there a possibility that it's a nickname others gave me?"

She was somewhat exasperated.

Wendy, on the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her eyes curving.

Chen Ran, driving, sighed and said, "Alright, Miss Raiden Mei, it's your time to shine now."

He said, "I've investigated. Although Raiden Ryoma was taken away, you still have the right to enter ME Company. Your father left you quite a few shares."

What Chen Ran said was indeed correct.

Besides finding him help from the Far East Branch, Rita also provided him with some useful information.

"I'm the teacher, Kiana is your junior, and Wendy... she's just a good classmate of yours," he said. "Only by going in ourselves will we know what's happening at ME Company."

Raiden Mei nodded. "Okay."

The four of them got out of the car and walked towards ME Company.

However, at the entrance, they were stopped.

"Hello, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter without permission."

Raiden Mei took a deep breath and said coldly, "Am I also unauthorized personnel?"

"Miss... Raiden."

The two security guards looked at each other.

Although Raiden Ryoma was out of power now, who knew if he would return? They didn't have the right to know about these power struggles at the top.

But...

One of them gritted his teeth and said, "Sorry, the new assistant gave instructions not to let anyone enter ME Company."

Raiden Mei said indignantly, "I already told you, recognize who I am!"

"I own shares in ME Company, I'm one of the owners, why can't I go in?"

The other one pleaded, "Miss, please, it's not easy for us working people."

"Forget it, let's not waste any more time," Chen Ran said. "Attack, and remember not to kill them."
