Tesla the Tool Lobster's Training Plan

Additional information: Bronya's favorability:?? → 90

With money exchanged for goods, the transaction was successfully completed.

Tesla stared in disbelief as Raven tossed her aside without hesitation, then patted his behind and walked away.

So, in the grove, a dusty-looking Lobster Doctor and two little girls stared at each other, creating a slightly awkward scene.

Fortunately, he was a little sad. In order to redeem the lobster, he had used up his allowance for the month. The things he had promised to give to Cang Xuan Dan Zhu would probably have to wait until next month, and he had also lost the gems that Pardo was supposed to receive this month.

Tesla was a little dazed after being successfully rescued. She was still dazed even when Sachi summoned Yae Sakura to carry her back to the Fire Moth Base One.

Oh, of course, the Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross added a layer of cognitive filter to Tesla, otherwise things would have gone wrong.

Wait, Fu Hua isn't here, Rita has become a traitor, and the headmaster listens to her now. Fortunately, St. Freya Academy is safe, so why worry?

It's always best to be cautious; who knows if Otto has planted other spies in St. Freya.

After a while--

The tormented Dr. Tesla took a relaxing hot bath, took off his tattered clothes, and put on a makeshift bathrobe. His long red hair draped over his shoulders, and his handsome face revealed exhaustion. Tesla's eyes were unfocused, as if he had not yet recovered from the effects of the Kidnapping.

Fortunately, he was sitting in a wheelchair, so tired he almost fell asleep. He had just used the power of the Gem of Stillness to heal Tesla's injuries, and he was already weak; now he was even weaker. However, this Lobster Doctor was quite pleasing to the eye; no wonder Old Yang liked her. It was a pity she was old enough to be his grandmother.

P. S.: Fortunately, I won't do anything to break up the original couple.

Mei helped her sit down on a chair in the living room and handed her a cup of hot tea, which Tesla took and drank in one gulp.

"Thank you." Feeling the warmth in his belly, Tesla thanked her gratefully.

Bronya, standing nearby, said unhappily, "You should thank Xing. If he hadn't paid to ransom you, you would probably have spent the rest of your life in the dungeon."

"..." Tesla looked at the boy in the wheelchair with a complicated expression, seemingly lost in thought.

Wendy had gone out to make a phone call, came back in. "Um, I've already informed Professor Welt, and he said he'll be back soon. Um, so we still have a cooperative relationship with Anti-Entropy? Brother Xing, why didn't I know that before?"

Xing explained, "Didn't I tell you that we reached a temporary cooperative relationship with Anti-Entropy in Changkong City?"

Kiana, who was eating rice nearby, looked up and asked, "Eh, is it still not over?"

Xing picked up a chicken leg from her own bowl and tossed it over. "Just eat your food!"

Kiana caught the chicken leg steadily with her chopsticks and was about to put it in her mouth when she changed her mind and shared some of her meat with Sachi: "You're not feeling well right now, so eat more to nourish yourself. Don't leave any left over, okay? Mei made all of this."

"It's unbelievable that someone as greedy as you would actually share food. Thanks, sis... cough cough, you didn't hear anything just now."

A warm feeling flowed through Xing's heart, and she couldn't help but tease the adorable white fluffy ball.

Kiana was in a great mood and quickly finished her food. A smooth, empty bowl was placed in Mei's hands. "Mei, another bowl!"

Tesla watched the heartwarming interactions of the Fire Moth Squad and a smile crept onto his lips. These kids are actually quite good.

Wow, this food is pretty good! Much better than the instant noodles she makes in the lab. By the way, what was I originally planning to do?

Where's my invention?!

Tesla, remembering his business, took a bite of rice, put down his bowl, and excitedly said to Sachi, "Bear, cough, Sachi, where's my invention? Hurry up and show it to me."

Fortunately, upon hearing this, she waved her hand and pulled out six Fullbottles of different colors from her bosom.

"Are you hiding a Doraemon on you? There wasn't a single bulge in your clothes! But thankfully, they're fine. Wait, where's the driver?"

Xing said calmly, "It exploded."

"Oh, it's blown up." Tesla said calmly. "Blown up?!" The next second, Lobster Doctor was furious.

"You brat, do you know how great that invention was?! You actually blew it up?!" Tesla, in a fit of rage, disregarded his savior and, with a burst of strength, lunged at Sachi, grabbing his collar and roaring.

Kiana gave her a sharp rap on the head. "So you invented that belt? It's all your fault. If it weren't for the poor quality, Yuki wouldn't have been forced to cancel his transformation due to the belt's damage. If that suit of armor could have been used, he wouldn't have..." Thinking of this, Kiana wished she could knock a few more bumps on Tesla's head.

Tesla, still dazed from Kiana's angry blow, grasped the key point in his confusion. "What did you say, transformation?! So, he successfully transformed using the driver I made? Oh ho ho, this genius knew it would work! How about it, kid? Pretty strong, huh?"

"The power is indeed impressive, I really like the Build Driver."

"Hmph, an answer I expected. Wait, Build Driver? What's that? I haven't officially named it yet. Is this the name you came up with?"

Now it was Xing's turn to be stunned. "Doesn't it have a 'Build Driver' sound effect when it starts up? Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Impossible, I made it. I know what functions it has. You must have misheard me."

That's impossible. Kiana and the others also heard that sound effect. It's impossible that they all misheard it, right?

An excited Tesla didn't dwell on it much. "In that case, I'll officially name it now. It'll be called the first creation of the [Scientific Forbidden Arts Catalog]: Honkai Conversion Drive Armor..."

Before Tesla could finish speaking, the phone in the lobby rang. Mei answered it, asked a question, and then handed it to Tesla, saying, "Doctor, it's for you."

"Hey, Dr. Tesla, how are you doing?" Einstein's languid voice rang out as usual, but with a hint of worry.

"Hmph, he's not dead yet, no need for you to worry about him." Tesla was full of resentment towards his girlfriend.

"That's great! I'm relieved to hear you're still so energetic. See you in ten seconds."

Tesla was taken aback. Before he could react, the other party hung up the phone. Then, a woman with messy blue hair and a young man in a coat pushed open the door and walked in.

PS: At this time, the base only has the starter Pokémon, Wendy, Wendy who is recovering from an injury, and Tesla who is freeloading.

"Gentlemen, thank you very much for saving Dr. Tesla from the World Serpent. On behalf of Anti-Entropy -Dr. Tesla, I, Welt Yang, thank the Fire Moth Squad." Welt bowed to everyone.

"I can't accept this, Professor Welt!" He almost jumped up. He felt he hadn't done anything wrong, so why was Walter making such a fuss?

(Old Yang: "That's my future wife, what do you think?")

Kiana quickly helped Welt up. "It's all thanks to Sachi. We should thank him. It would be best to give each of us a Build Driver. I really like it."

"Build Driver? You must be referring to Tesla's new invention. Once she has perfected this device, I will invite you to be among the first users."

Old Yang is concerned about his future wife.

Einstein took a sip of coffee, then curiously fiddled with the red and blue bottles in his hand. "So, you mean, you easily defeated the simulated Emperor Class Honkai Beast Ashvatta using this power?"

Wendy proudly raised her head. "That's right! Brother Xing was on the defensive the whole time, he was amazing!"

Tesla was also very proud. "How about this Bird's Nest Head? How about my invention? Now you can approve the funding, right?"

Einstein nodded, acknowledging the power of the Build Driver, then shook his head. "I admit you have indeed made some good progress, but unfortunately, I still cannot support your invention."

"Why?!" Tesla exclaimed, puzzled. "Isn't it powerful? And it's only in its early stages. Once I delve deeper into its development, its power will be unimaginable! Can't you see something this simple?"

Einstein said nothing, but simply pushed the six Fullbottles in front of Tesla: "Tell me, Dr. Tesla, how many resources did you expend just to manufacture these?"

Tesla, which had been so aggressive, fell silent.

Seeing that she had quieted down, Einstein continued, "It certainly has a promising future, but Anti-Entropy is facing a severe funding shortage. The capabilities and development direction that Build has demonstrated coincide with Schicksal's Valkyrie Armor, which is inconsistent with our direction. Moreover, we do not have the capacity to provide sufficient resources to develop the Build System. Please understand, Dr. Tesla."

Tesla hesitated, his fists clenched so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

"I, with great difficulty, finally..." Tesla's eyes were brimming with tears, as if he was about to burst into sobs.

Welt wanted to comfort her, but felt powerless to do so. Just then, Xing pulled four Fullbottles from her pocket and handed them to Tesla: "Was it difficult to make these?"

"Of course! You know how many times I tried... Damn it!" Tesla forced back his tears, snatched the four Fullbottles, and examined them in disbelief.

"It's very simple."

Fortunately, he took out the Blank Bottle, summoned the Crimson Kite's Wings, and then summoned Feather Crossing Dust. The red Honkai Energy entered its body and then flowed out, where it was absorbed by the Blank Bottle.

"Phoenix!"

Great, just as he thought. Wait a minute, how come its Honkai Energy concentration is still inferior to what Tesla made?

Tesla stared in astonishment as Xing instantly crafted a new Fullbottles. After a few seconds of silence, he threw himself into Welt's arms and burst into tears, crying, "Yang, this isn't fair! Why is this brat not only rich but also so lucky? I worked so hard and used up so many resources to make a Fullbottles, and he got one so easily?!"

Einstein picked up the Fullbottles, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. "Dr. Tesla, didn't you notice that the person who can sponsor your research is right here?"

"Huh?" Tesla looked up, a little confused.

Einstein patted Sachi's head. "According to what you said before, being able to use the Build Driver requires meeting very strict conditions, and Sachi happens to be able to use it. He seems to have quite a bit of wealth, and according to recent news, he has been adopted by Ms. Theresa, which means—"

Tesla looked at the boy with burning eyes. The already adorable boy now seemed so holy and great in her eyes.

Einstein added insult to injury, "Also, I won't reimburse you for the money you paid to redeem you from the World Serpent mercenaries, which means you're now heavily in debt."

Lobster Doctor had just become happy, wilted again.

The five members of the Fire Moth took Welt aside for a while to discuss the matter and finally reached an agreement.

"... That's it. After discussion, starting today, you and Yang will be working together in St. Freya to gather intelligence. Congratulations on becoming the new physics teacher here. Don't worry, your benefactor should allocate funds to build you a secret laboratory." Einstein clapped a few times, sounding rather fake.

Great, we've finally gotten rid of this spendthrift!

Unfortunately, I'm in a terrible situation; I've lost all my allowance for this year.

Kiana hugged his neck from behind, and the two leaned against each other like an intimate brother and sister.

"Tell me honestly, how much pocket money did your period give you?!"

"This is my own money. I secretly gave you all the pocket money she gave me, okay?"

"What? No wonder there are always extra bills in my wallet... Wait a minute, where does your own money come from?!"

"Keep it a secret!"

Mei, Wendy, and Bronya watched the two white furballs playing around with embarrassment. They didn't care much about the source of Sachi's funds. Everyone has their own secrets, right? Besides, Sachi had said that he didn't steal these from innocent people. He would also regularly donate to charity. What was there to care about?

Tesla protested vehemently. "Hey, aren't you going to ask me if I agree or not?"

Fortunately, upon hearing this, he snapped his fingers, and a considerable sum of money appeared in Tesla's account.

"This genius cannot be corrupted by wealth or subdued by power..."

Fortunately, Tesla snapped her fingers again. Staring at her phone screen, she swallowed hard and said, trembling, "This genius isn't a woman who can be bought with money..."

Fortunately, Tesla snapped his fingers again, put down his phone, straightened his hair, and gave an incredibly gentle smile, "Ahem, since you've been so nice, I'll reluctantly help you out. From now on, you're the number one creation in the [Scientific Forbidden Arts Catalog], the Honkai Conversion Drive Armor..."

Fortunately, he interrupted her and said seriously, "Build means creation or formation, that's its name."

"I am its inventor, and I have the right to name it!"

Fortunately, he snapped his fingers again.

"Please feel free to do as you please."

"From now on, I will be Kamen Rider Build."

Looking at the Tesla that he had bought with money, Xing felt a pang of regret for her wallet but was also secretly pleased, knowing that how many new toys he would have in the future depended on her.

In addition, the Fire Moth's R&D department is finally not just Bronya alone anymore, so we'll have new things to play with from now on!

Dawn Assault, Comet Drive Pre-order!

You're asking about the Sky Ranger? Wait a minute.

Now that he's recovered from his injuries, can he accompany Bronya to find Seele?

——Divider——

In the pitch-black sea, in a room decorated in black and white, a girl, like a phantom butterfly, sleeps quietly.

A blurry figure appeared and placed a crystal pendant on her.

She, in black, immediately sprang into action, her enormous claws nearly tearing the figure apart.

"I activate Quick-Play Spell Card from my hand, Attack Silencer, to forcibly stop the attack of one monster."

Black Seele's attack was forced to stop, and at the same time, the crystal-clear blue pendant was placed around Seele's neck and began to swing on its own.

"Swing, pendulum of the soul..."

Author's Note—

This might sound ironic, but money is supposed to be everything. If it doesn't work, it just means you haven't given enough.
