Raising Flag After Flag-It's Frightening / "'Otto' Appears, Setting Off a Heated Debate"
There is only one possibility.
Adding to Xiao Qiao's description, they didn't think of Dr. Lobster Head from the main storyline, but instantly thought of Tesla from the web series "Anti-Entropy: Origin".
"Is the mom you're talking about the red-haired, lobster-headed Telegraph Doctor?"
"I remember Dr. Tesla was based on a real person, right? What would she have felt if she had seen this?"
Some people are curious.
Tesla feels ashamed.
It was entirely because of Einstein's meaningful expression.
"Hey, you messy hair, can you please stop looking at me?!"
Tesla, nearly exploding with rage at Einstein's expression, roared.
"Someone is really careless; he didn't even know his own child wasn't at school," Einstein chuckled.
"What does that script written by that junior director have to do with me?" Tesla vehemently denied it, refusing to admit that her performance in the web series was something she could have done.
"Oh~, so you really want to have a child with Joachim?" Einstein laughed even more heartily. Tesla was so easy to fool; she had just used a basic attack and already used her ultimate move.
"No way!"
Tesla blushed like a boiled lobster.
"Hehe." Einstein took a sip of coffee.
After calming down, Tesla countered, "And what about you? You and Joyce?"
"Me? I'm not in a hurry."
Welt Young took Xiao Qiao back to their room to rest, while Carol, unable to contain her gossip, wondered why Adam was actually the first male student in the history of the St. Freya Academy.
This caused a huge sensation.
Although it's just a web series, St. Freya Academy, as the highest-ranking educational resource in the Far East, still represents the highest status of the academy and has always adhered to the principle of only talking about female students and existing as an all-girls school.
Unexpectedly, she ended up taking on her first male student in the web series.
This has given many parents who wanted to send their children to the St. Freya Academy a second thought.
Ke Yaqing had already communicated with Theresa, and St. Freya Academy had already clarified on its official account that the recruitment of male students in the web series was due to the needs of the plot, and that it remained an all-girls school in reality.
Adam was just joking because he didn't understand it himself. Carol decided to go to her friends to hear the gossip, while Mei stayed behind with Adam.
"Speaking of which, are you finding your weapon easy to use?"
When Mei specifically mentioned Adam's weapon, many viewers immediately became interested, knowing that Honkai would never overlook any foreshadowing.
"Could it be that Adam's Fiery Greatsword was modeled after the Judgement of Shamash?"
A single comment was enough to silence everyone.
Adam found it quite easy to answer Mei's question.
Mei explained that the greatsword was specially commissioned by the Schicksal Research Department based on Adam's physique. In order to enable male wielders to exert strength no less than that of women, a special feature was inlaid on the blade.
It can absorb, store, and release Honkai energy from its surroundings. This is the first attempt by the research department. Whether this prototype has any potential dangers remains unknown.
"I objected. I believed that since this weapon posed a risk, it shouldn't be used rashly."
"Oh no, this sounds more and more like a celestial fire."
"Prototype: Heavenly Fire Suicide?"
The audience's discussion became increasingly heated.
When discussing fire-type greatswords in Honkai, one cannot ignore the existence of the Judgement of Shamash.
Chapter 288 Setting Too Many Flags, It's Frightening
"But they said they consulted you."
Adam didn't care about this, believing that risk and reward were proportional.
Mei didn't say anything more, but reminded Adam that while his physique made him more susceptible to Honkai energy, it also made him more vulnerable to the danger of Honkai energy.
Even with anti- Honkai energy potions developed by Schicksal, once completely corrupted by Honkai, one can no longer return to being an ordinary person.
"Adam, I greatly admire you. Your ability to fight alongside us is both proof of your hard work and an honor for us."
"Promise me you won't overexert yourself."
"I know you have a strong sense of responsibility, but please don't do anything that exceeds your limits."
"Okay?... That's all I wanted to say."
This segment gave the audience an ominous feeling. Given the numerous foreshadowing events, either Mei Adam would get hurt, and the content of the promotional video kept echoing in their minds.
The promotional video begins with Carol shouting, "Please, please don't die!" Then Mei is stabbed, and the flashback scene is this part.
"Mei, stop setting so many goals, you've already set them all!"
"With so many flags being set, wouldn't it be impolite for Adam not to die?"
"You're underestimating the situation. One death isn't enough; Mei should go too."
"No way, Mei survived the Great Honkai, and now she's going to die here? What kind of lousy plot is this?" Little Knowledge immediately complained.
"There is absolutely no such possibility."
Fu Hua was still relatively rational.
"If Mei dies, then the main storyline will lose its appeal. Similarly, the same applies to Kiana. The audience's anticipation for a character who is destined to die will be greatly reduced."
"But Fu Hua, this is the Honkai. Anyone could die. Think of Himeko."
Fu Hua was speechless, overwhelmed by the barrage of comments.
After all, even she hadn't expected that Himeko, the protagonist's teacher, would leave the stage so early.
"Bullshit! Himeko isn't dead! The Seventh Herrscher, Herrscher of Flamescion, hasn't appeared yet!"
Another debate erupted in the chat of Little Knowledge's live stream, this time about whether Himeko was dead or not. Little Knowledge was still laughing to herself, thinking it brought her more viewership.
The situation was quite the opposite in Sirin's live stream.
They kept talking about Adam.
"Wow, Adam's physique is truly befitting of a protagonist."
"As the protagonist and only male lead of the Post-Honkai Odyssey web series, he definitely needs to possess a physique or strength that surpasses that of ordinary people."
"But to be fair, there are definitely more women than men in Honkai." Sirin propped her head up with her hand. "Did Uncle find so many girls just so that male viewers would watch?"
"Your Queen, please don't say that. A friend of mine said something that really upset me."
"Created out of nothing!"
"Your Majesty, the fruit has arrived."
Bella, wearing a clean apron, placed the cut fruit on the table in front of Sirin.
"Sister Bella ~~~"
The screen was once again flooded with the words "Sister Bella".
Sirin was at her wit's end.
Bella's popularity in Sirin's live stream room is higher than Sirin's. She used to care about this, but now she can't do anything about it.
After setting the flag, Mei gave Carol and Adam a task: due to excessive Honkai energy consumption, she decided to use red crystals to restore Honkai energy.
After a hard day of mining, Carol complained that it would be great if there was a one-click mining feature. Back at the base, Carol, no longer exhausted, curiously asked Mei why she had become the leader of the third squad. Mei had previously been in the first squad.
Carol had already come up with countless possibilities in her mind, while Mei simply said that Schicksal originally only had two teams, but was later split into multiple teams to lead new recruits.
Adam became curious about the other squad leaders.
Not only Adam was curious, but the audience was also wondering if the other squad leaders were also acquaintances, such as Bronya.
"I don't know Mei, but we fought side by side, though not for very long. Who will be the captain of the first squad?"
"Hiss, I have a guess. The fourth squad leader is Mei can sense is incredibly strong. Could it be Slowpoke?"
"It's not impossible. Although the bishop has changed, there's no reason for the idiot to leave Schicksal."
"I want to mine cryptocurrency with just one click!!!"
Kiana was watching the TV screen when an idea suddenly popped into her head.
"Mei, now that the storyline has moved eight years into the future, do you think Bronya's size will increase a bit?"
Mei ruffled Kiana's hair.
Bronya, nestled in Seele's arms, said, "Of course, I never looked like that. It's been eight years, how could I not look like this now?"
"Sister Bronya, you definitely will."
Seele remembered a collection of original artwork that Yaqing had given her, which included the original artwork of the giant Bronya from "Post-Honkai Odyssey". She immediately realized that she had to go back to her room and hide it in the closet.
"I have a feeling."
Kiana made a firm promise.
"I bet the first squad is Rita, the second squad is Bronya, and the fourth squad is Big Sister!"
"I'd be a fool to believe you." Bronya pouted, her expression clearly showing that she didn't believe a single word she said.
Welt Yang, Adam, and Carol talked about Xiao Qiao again. Carol admired the domineering power displayed by the Herrscher, and said that the shout of Star of Eden was so cool.
Why are you telling me this?
"Oh, it's okay, senior. You're very charming too."
"What?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, I thought you were jealous."
Adam and Carol's conversation brought a sweet feeling to the audience.
But it's precisely this sweet feeling that makes people even more uneasy.
There's a famous quote from the Honkai series.
The sweeter it is in the beginning, the more painful it becomes later.
"I have a feeling Carol is interested in Adam!"
"Especially when the plot first took a dramatic turn, the dialogue between those two was so sweet it made me swoon."
"Well, Adam, you're considered a child of the higher echelons of Schicksal." Lyle nudged Adam with his shoulder.
Adam's expression remained unchanged. "That's just a fictional story. Besides, I'm not the only male student at St. Freya."
"Tch, boring."
Aponia stroked Adam's short hair and said gently, "Child, after you finish your exams next year, which college do you plan to apply to?"
"Mom, I want to be like my brother Kosma."
Aponia nodded.
"You want to go to the Chiyu Academy?"
Lyle felt abandoned.
We're not even buddies, we're all just lazing around together, so why are you thinking of going to such a good college?
"Mom, is it okay?"
"Of course, my child."
Although Aponia is only the director of the sanatorium, she is also a psychiatrist with unparalleled connections.
Chapter 289: Otto's Appearance Ignites a Debate
While Carol and Adam were chatting with Xiao Qiao, Mei came up with a plan to send Welt Yang and Xiao Qiao out of Saint Fontaine. She had Carol scout ahead of time.
After Carol returned, the three of them set off for the train station together. After eliminating the monsters guarding the station, they spent some time clearing the obstacles on the tracks.
