Otto's Birthday Present

If Ai Yi could provide some help to Izanami as a result, that would be ideal for Gwen.

"If it's convenient..."

Looking at Gwyn's distinct smile amidst the black and white world, Gwen Izanami slightly and said.

"Of course, but I might need to look for her—"

Gwen nodded, gesturing for Izanami to enter the house—

You'll need to wait a moment.

"Um?

Should I have the other person come to me?

Izanami was a little confused, but he still made way for Gwen to come in. After thinking for a moment, he took out a few peaches from the refrigerator.

Although her Remembrance are gradually fading, she still remembers the proper way to treat guests.

"Well, her way of being is rather unique, so it's more convenient for you to talk to her directly at home."

Gwen took out a spare terminal, logged into his account, and began searching for Ai Yi- i—

Mei dismantled his previous terminal, phone, and clothes, but fortunately he was prepared.

"Give--"

Izanami watched Gwen busy himself quietly. Seeing that he seemed to have finished, he handed him a peach that had just been washed again.

"Thanks..."

Gwen thanked him, but did not start eating immediately; instead, he continued working.

Soon, the projector turned on, and Ai Yi's figure appeared on the screen, waving to Izanami—

"Hello, Mei."

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ai Yi Hyperion, you can just call me Ai Yi."

"She doesn't have a physical form yet, and your equipment is limited, so this is the best we can do for now. I'll bring a 3D projection device over tonight, and you should be able to communicate more smoothly."

"Now, it's going to be a bit more complicated."

"Gwen said."

"Thanks."

Izanami nodded, but his gaze fell on the peach in Gwen's hand.

The peaches Izanami chose weren't the reddest, but rather pink and white— Gwen remembered Rita saying that these were almost the sweetest kind supplied by headquarters.

Seeing Izanami's reaction, Gwen understood and broke the peach in half.

"Let's eat together."

"Good..."

Dissatisfied yet unexpectedly pleased, Izanami took the half peach and ate it in small bites...

Chapter 778 Otto's Birthday Gift

"Is it time to conduct the experiment of connecting the World Bubble back to the Imaginary Tree?"

Upon hearing the message Otto sent via the terminal, You Lan Dai Er's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

Just as her training for the day came to an end, Otto suddenly called to say that the necessary preparations had been completed, and that she should rest well today and assist with the experiment tomorrow.

Although You Lan Dai Er was constantly thinking about reconnecting the World Bubble in her body back to the Imaginary Tree, she was also well aware that it was not as simple as transporting fruit from the ground to the floating island.

At the same time, You Lan Dai Er was also prepared—

He carried this responsibility, which he had borne since he was twelve, until the end of his life.

Now, suddenly hearing that this responsibility might be coming to an end, You Lan Dai Er couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

"Um.

Because the description of the Imaginary Tree in some of the knowledge brought by Mr. Tirnan differs greatly from our observations.

Elizabeth and Miss Vita conducted targeted research and observations together, which just happened to meet the conditions you needed.

Since you have this need, it would be a win-win situation for you to carry out the following experiment.

"Originally, you shouldn't be carrying out such a dangerous experiment, but with Gwen's abilities, we can ensure your safety."

Otto explained the reason in a gentle voice, and then another breathing sound was heard on the other end of the communication—

"Um?

Is Gwen with you too?

"Shouldn't we stop pretending to know the answer to that question?"

Hearing Otto's feigned surprise, Gwen said helplessly.

"Heh, life always needs a little ritual..."

Otto smiled and continued to ask—

"So, are you interested in going on a trip with You Lan Dai Er?"

Comparing the data provided by Mr. Tirnan with our observations over this period, our world...

To borrow Miss Vita's words... our galaxy, enveloped by the imaginary tidal zone of the Cocoon of the End, seems to be in a rather special state relative to the known universe outside.

Therefore, we are able to do some things that are difficult to do outside.

Given that this situation may be caused by the Cocoon of the End, and that this particular trait may disappear after the Honkai is resolved.

Therefore, we have decided to prepare to start the experiment now.

Otherwise, it would be safer to wait until after defeating the Honkai.

In the midst of their banter, Otto also explained to Gwen why they needed to rush into conducting the experiment.

"Perhaps..."

Gwen thought for a moment, but still didn't say anything more.

The Star Rail storyline also mentions the Imaginary Tree, but in terms of frequency and content, it seems less distant from the Honkai world.

After all, the Star Rail Universe doesn't seem to have any cases of directly contacting the Imaginary Tree by creating a non-existent world line through it.

"As for the experiment..."

Count me in!

I am now stronger and have more security.

"Also, as long as Rita and the others are still on Earth, I can guarantee my return."

"Gwen said."

"No problem--"

The sound of keyboard typing came from the other end of the communication, and soon Otto's voice rang out again—

"Speaking of which, Bianca, your birthday is coming up soon. How about we consider this news as a birthday present?"

"You won't mind if I use your flowers to offer to Buddha, will you?"

"Of course not."

You Lan Dai Er shook her head vigorously, her flowing golden hair landing on Gwen's shoulder, her face full of seriousness—

"This means that everyone in that world is safe, and for me, there is perhaps no better gift than this..."

"I'm happy as long as you like it."

However, you'll need to work extra hard to receive this gift.

So, let's prepare well today!

Of course, the experiment will only begin once you're in peak condition.

Otto laughed.

"Please rest assured, I am always in peak condition and ready to strike at any time."

You Lan Dai Er assured him.

"As expected of you, Bianca."

Otto smiled and called out You Lan Dai Er's real name again—

Ever since You Lan Dai Er chose to include You Lan Dai Er in her name, Otto has mostly called her You Lan Dai Er and rarely uses her real name anymore.

However, since Gwen always addressed her by her real name, You Lan Dai Er didn't find anything unusual.

Otto, seemingly having lost interest in You Lan Dai Er, chuckled—

"By the way, Gwen, after your training today, remember to go see Dr. Mobius. She seems to have something to discuss with you."

After receiving Gwen's reply, Otto quickly hung up the communication.

"This might be a birthday gift I'll never forget..."

You Lan Dai Er put down the terminal, looked at the cloudless sky, and sighed leisurely.

"Unhappy?"

"Can't bear to part with it?"

Seeing Gwen didn't rush to leave, but sat down next to her.

"Of course not."

You Lan Dai Er shook his head repeatedly—

"If it were possible, I would certainly hope that the world could return to the Imaginary Tree and truly have hope, instead of being as precarious as it is now."

As she spoke, You Lan Dai Er gave a relaxed smile—

"However, I thought this mission would accompany me throughout my life, and that world would perish with my death."

Now, everything can have a good ending...

"Well, then you'll be able to make things a little easier for yourself..."

Gwen laughed.

"Yes, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief..."

You Lan Dai Er nodded, frankly admitting that this matter did indeed put a lot of pressure on him.

However, You Lan Dai Er quickly looked at Gwen again—

"Oh...

Don't even mention me, aren't you under even more pressure?

After all, that was the Finality...

Fifty thousand years ago, Kevin and his companions tried everything but couldn't defeat this being...

"Oh...

It would be a lie to say there's no pressure—"

When facing You Lan Dai Er, Gwen also spoke candidly about his own condition—

Even though I already know from Ai Yi that we will win in the future, I still can't help but want to take extra precautions—

I've prepared at least three plans that could potentially upend this tiny Solar System.

Those of slightly lower quality are countless.

"Um..."

You Lan Dai Er was not surprised to hear of Gwen's preparations—

In her view, this was indeed something Gwen would do.

However, while not surprised, You Lan Dai Er still moved a little closer, letting Gwen rest his head on her shoulder—

"Although saying these things may not be very helpful, I still want to say that you shouldn't put too much pressure on yourself."

We have gathered power far Previous Civilization, achieving feats that neither they nor the Venusian civilization could accomplish...
