Your head is pointy?

The real world.

The second episode of the [Honkai Impact 3rd] story sparked widespread discussion online, bringing with it astonishing popularity.

This immense popularity naturally drew the attention of some relevant authorities.

Coupled with the unique nature of the Honkai Impact 3rd video content, these authorities had no choice but to take it seriously.

After all, if this video was just the creator trying to grab attention for traffic, it would be one thing. But what if it was real...

To verify this speculation, the relevant authorities even invited several renowned scientists and researchers from around the world to authenticate the video's content.

Among them were famous biologist Mobius, Genius Club Member #83 'Herta', and many others...

However, despite the significant effort put into debating the video's content, the results were disappointing.

Aside from the fact that the locations and people mentioned in the video were real and existed in the real world, there was not a single clue about anything else.

As for 'Honkai' and such, there was even less to go on.

Just as the relevant authorities were preparing to order the abandonment of this research proposal, Genius Club Member #83 'Herta' proposed a different perspective.

"For most ordinary people, no problems is a good thing. But for geniuses like us, no problems is the biggest problem."

"A video that suddenly goes viral online shouldn't be able to gather us all together, yet it did."

"And what concerns me the most is the company behind this video's creator — MiHoYo."

"Originally, I thought it was just a very ordinary company, but as I delved deeper, I was astonished to discover that this company, miHoYo, has invested in almost all major and minor tech companies globally over the years, including my 'Herta Space Station'..."

Hearing this, an unnamed male researcher raised a question: "Ms. Herta, what you've said so far can only prove that this company has a significant background, but it cannot prove the authenticity of the video's content."

Logically, if one's words were interrupted and their views questioned, a normal person would likely be furious. But Herta showed no signs of anger at all.

This might be due to Herta's personality or perhaps related to her field.

After all, to achieve something in the field of science, the most important quality is 'the courage to question authority.'

To this, Herta smiled slightly: "Indeed, as this gentleman said, what I just said cannot prove the authenticity of the video..."

Hearing Herta agree with his point, the male researcher's face lit up with ecstatic joy.

Because, just now, he had successfully challenged Genius Club Member #83 'Herta'!

As long as Herta couldn't answer his question, he would most likely be featured in the next issue of a scientific journal.

If nothing unexpected happened, he was about to become famous!

However, when things are going too smoothly, that's usually when something unexpected happens.

Herta then changed her tone and continued, "But my previous statement wasn't meant to prove anything. I was merely offering a 'problem-solving' approach. For excellent students, it's better to teach them how to fish than to give them a fish. But for struggling students, you have to guide them step-by-step to the answer for them to understand."

At this point, Herta paused for a moment, her gaze drifting to the side, her meaning clear.

The male researcher, labeled as a struggling student, was about to retort, but this time, Herta didn't give him a chance to speak.

"I want to ask all the geniuses and leaders in their respective fields present here: honestly, how many of you can make such precise and accurate investments as this miHoYo?"

Herta's words struck everyone present like a heavy hammer, waking them up.

Right!

Logically, even the world's most renowned investment masters couldn't ensure every investment yielded returns, yet this miHoYo could.

This proved that the company was no ordinary entity!

And would such an extraordinary company go to such lengths to release a video just for traffic?

Seeing the dawning realization on everyone's faces, Herta smiled broadly and concluded, "Although, at this moment, we cannot find any trace of this company with our own abilities, I believe that as time goes by, and with the updates to this video called [Honkai Impact 3rd], more and more clues will be exposed before our eyes."

Upon hearing this, some individuals with sensitive minds had already left, and Mobius was among them.

This didn't escape the teasing of an acquaintance: "Mobius, aren't you solely focused on biological evolution research? What, are you changing your research direction?"

"Boring."

Mobius scoffed, ignoring the teasing from her acquaintance, and strode out of the conference room.

However, after leaving the conference room, Mobius's expression turned grave as she took out her phone and made a call.

The call was answered quickly.

Mobius got straight to the point: "Blanca, notify everyone in the lab that we can begin the research I proposed earlier... Oh, and remember to bring along that new young lady who just joined the lab..."

After giving her instructions, Mobius entered the elevator.

Looking at the bright lights in the elevator, Mobius's face grew increasingly somber.

"As I suspected, those fragments I dreamed of... were real."

Meanwhile, in the conference room.

Inspired by Herta, most people had already left the conference room, but some still chose to stay.

For them, rather than pursuing a research proposal that seemed vague and uncertain, it was better to exchange insights with renowned peers.

After all, scientific research wasn't just about fighting and killing; it also involved human relationships and social skills.

After politely declining the 13th person who wanted to collaborate on a research project, Herta elegantly walked towards a corner of the conference room.

Standing there was a male researcher radiating an aura of "despair."

To be precise, he was the researcher who had just spoken out to question Herta.

Seeing Herta's movement, everyone present watched with anticipation, eager to see what would happen.

As Herta approached, the male researcher grew increasingly nervous.

At this moment, his heart was filled with nothing but regret, and immense regret at that.

But as the saying goes, high rewards often come with high risks.

Since he had chosen this path, he naturally had to bear the consequences himself.

With that thought, the researcher had already decided to change careers.

However, things did not develop as he had expected.

She neither humiliated him nor used her seniority to suppress him.

Herta simply said with a smile, "Regardless of your intentions, I admire your courage to question authority, but do you know what your only mistake was?"

The male researcher shook his head, unsure of what to do.

Looking at the profusely sweating male researcher, Herta smiled radiantly, "You shouldn't call me Ms. Herta, but rather Ms. Herta, the Unrivaled, Brilliant, Stunningly Beautiful..."

P.S.: Speaking of which, even my F2P 0+0 Herta could carry me through the Abyss alone. Ms. Herta is truly peerless!
