This is a workshop, with gears visible everywhere. It was immediately clear whose territory it was. This was the next stop Zhang Wei had carefully chosen. As for Mei and Kiana, they had returned to Hyperion long ago. One was preparing dinner, and the other was sneaking snacks on the side. It made perfect sense, didn't it?
"I really didn't expect you to choose Vill-V's place. I actually wanted to go with you to Griseo's. Both the little and big Griseo are so cute," Elysia couldn't help but shed tears of frustration.
"Griseo and the others are probably drawing over there. We'd just be disturbing them if we went!" Zhang Wei knew that ever since the elder Griseo came aboard, paint drips had often appeared in the corridors.
"That's true. But Cosmo is a bit sad now. As Griseo's guardian, now that the elder Griseo is back, he's become useless. Wuwuwu, how pitiful," Elysia's lips curled upwards.
Zhang Wei rolled his eyes. "How many kitsune have you eaten?!"
"But there are others! I only come to Vill-V when I need something interesting she's invented!"
"As for the other Flame-Chasers, there will be plenty of time later. And I know that getting along with them isn't something that can be achieved in a short time. The enthusiastic Master Hua will challenge you, the stubborn Snake Snake will have you lying on the operating table for 'discussions,' Aponia will most likely want you to listen to prayers, Su is a bit cryptic, and Sakura and Hua are both people of few words..." Zhang Wei briefly explained the reasons.
They all had quite distinct personalities, so he'd take his time getting to know them and become friends.
"Uh... alright!" Elysia was speechless. Thinking carefully, it was true that there wasn't much difference from what Zhang Wei had said. Why hadn't she noticed it before?
"And I heard Vill-V has several personalities. I want to meet them!"
Elysia wasn't a naive fool. She looked at Zhang Wei slyly and teased, "So this is your true intention, Captain."
Zhang Wei nodded frankly and said, "As a man, isn't that perfectly reasonable? Vill-V seems to have eight personalities, meaning eight Vill-Vs. If you had Vill-V as a girlfriend, it would be like having eight girlfriends at once."
Elysia's eyes widened. What outrageous words! But thinking about it carefully, it was indeed quite thrilling.
"Cough cough!"
The door to the Spiral Workshop opened, and an awkward cough came from within. Vill-V stepped out, her expression extremely peculiar.
She had discovered them the moment they arrived. The reason she hadn't appeared immediately was that she wanted to listen to their conversation. But she hadn't expected it to be so outrageous; even she couldn't help but blush.
Her attire was fully steampunk, adorned with many intricate gear decorations, clearly made by her. The personality that appeared now was the Great Magician. The other personalities were already exploding in her head, many of them plotting to make Zhang Wei suffer.
"Vill-V, did you miss me?" Elysia waved her hand, but Vill-V's indifferent response was, "No, we just met yesterday. What do you need?"
"I want to get to know you. I heard you have many personalities. Can I interact with them one by one?" Zhang Wei asked.
"It's a piece of cake. It's the first time a handsome audience member has made such a request. I am the Great Magician personality, and I'll fulfill your request!" Vill-V raised an eyebrow and performed an elegant gesture of courtesy. The personalities in her head were chattering so loudly they were about to make her explode and ascend. It was better to use Zhang Wei's request to relieve the pressure.
Elysia, however, had other thoughts. Was Zhang Wei making this request because he wanted to meet his eight wives in advance?
"Hello, I am Expert Vill-V. Those guys in my head are too noisy, but I'm very interested in your Hyperion. Can I research it?" Expert Vill-V appeared and got straight to the point. The Divine Keys were basically managed by this personality, so her research capabilities were formidable. Her speech was less lively than the Great Magician's, carrying a sense of rationality.
"We'll talk about it after you join the ship. Research is fine, but don't mess around!" Although Zhang Wei knew the Hyperion wouldn't be easily destroyed, Vill-V didn't seem like a reliable person at first glance.
"Deal. I'll make the Hyperion's firepower even stronger!" Expert Vill-V's eyes lit up. The Hyperion had so much technology she hadn't seen before, and her initial contact had already captivated her.
"It's my turn, it's my turn! Captain Zhang Wei, I am Conductor Vill-V. I have the authority to divide personalities and was responsible for managing the others before the Primal me awakened. But it's all your fault, those guys are about to explode!" Conductor Vill-V looked at Zhang Wei resentfully.
"It's not my fault. That's what everyone says online. How do personalities split?" Zhang Wei had a bold idea. It would be interesting to split off that so-called Ferryman personality.
"Captain Zhang Wei, do you also want to split off a personality? But I don't recommend it. It's not a fun thing. I only split off these various personalities for more reasonable planning," Conductor Vill-V shook her head.
"Yes, Conductor is right!" Elysia nodded.
Zhang Wei was just thinking about it and didn't have any plans for now. He would be jealous of himself.
"Miss Mei's pastries are delicious. You can try my cooking when you have the chance!" Vill-V Hundred Flavors appeared, directly challenging Mei through Zhang Wei.
"I'm looking forward to it!" Zhang Wei was very curious to see whose cooking would be superior, Vill-V Hundred Flavors' or the "cooking maid's."
The remaining Vill-V personalities appeared one by one and communicated with Zhang Wei. However, the Primal personality and the Extreme Evil personality did not appear in the end. Zhang Wei was not secretive about it.
"There are still two missing, right? The Primal personality and the Extreme Evil personality..."
"Extreme Evil? Hmph, Vill-V, how have I never heard of this personality? Was it split off in the Elysian Realm? It sounds a bit wicked!" Elysia snorted and circled around Vill-V.
Primal Vill-V, or rather, the Id Vill-V, although she appeared less often, Elysia had met her. Compared to the other personalities, she was more easily shy, but very cute. As for the unfamiliar Extreme Evil personality, Elysia had never met her, and Extreme Evil sounded a bit like a villain.
