Herta: Be Good, Let Me Take a Look!

Surrounded by righteous and mature good people, and with the Trailblaze spirit of the Train, it's perfect for March 7th to pursue his own life.

People are just afraid of comparisons.

In the past, March 7th always felt uneasy because she felt she hadn't passed through her past, but after she learned about Lin Shuang's situation...

Suddenly, I felt incredibly lucky compared to others.

So much so that after March 7th figured all this out, his Affection for Lin Shuang skyrocketed.

Even his initiative to take Photos of Lin Shuang was actually implying something more.

But even on a cheerful March 7th.

They're not so generous as to simply say what they're thinking.

So it was just a simple matter of wanting to take some Photos of Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang, of course, had no idea what thoughts were swirling in March 7th's little mind.

But whatever she was thinking, the data and evaluation given by the system really made Lin Shuang feel embarrassed.

There's a sense of guilt, like that of a wicked woman deceiving an innocent young girl...

But before Lin Shuang could speak, March 7th, seemingly unaffected, hummed a few more times on the camera and happily said:

"Oh, by the way, I secretly took a few Photos of you before, do you want to see them?"

While claiming to be asking questions, he had already shown her the Photos he had previously 'secretly taken'.

In the scene, I felt like the real 'Herrscher of Flames of Corruption'.

Even Old Yang would probably be impressed if he saw this.

The first photo in the album is a close-up of Lin Shuang.

In the scene, Lin Shuang, wearing armor, has just landed on the Platform. The flames on her body have not yet been extinguished. She is holding a sword and smiling as she looks to the side.

Behind them, the Doomsday Beast lay obediently on the floor.

This photo was taken secretly on March 7th after Lin Shuang tamed the Doomsday Beast.

There are a few more Photos, including one of Lin Shuang battling the Doomsday Beast in the sky. I wonder what she was thinking on March 7th.

Even in that tense moment, I still managed to snap a picture while holding up the camera.

There are also some Photos of Lin Shuang standing at the Master Control System with her Mount No. 1.

It was obviously taken secretly sometime earlier.

"..."

Lin Shuang looked at the unfamiliar yet familiar faces in the picture and felt a strange sensation.

It's actually quite strange to suddenly have someone capture your fighting stance like this and then show it to you.

It felt like I was watching a weird movie called "Kiana on the Star Railroad".

After all, the armor and weapons do look exactly the same.

Although I've gotten used to this face, my daily clothes and appearance are different from the real Kiana.

But how could one possibly forget their past self so quickly?

This sense of disorientation would occasionally surface when Lin Shuang looked in the mirror.

But these two Photos gave Lin Shuang the strongest sense of disorientation she had experienced in recent days.

"The photos are great, send me a copy later."

As she spoke, Lin Shuang took out her phone and exchanged contact information with March 7th.

"Hehe~ I'll get back to you later."

March 7th held his phone and chuckled.

Silly, but cute.

Just then--

A beautifully made-up and luxuriously dressed doll walked straight towards them alone.

"I've only been away from the station for a few days? Huh? The Space Station has become such a mess?"

Herta muttered to itself as it stopped in front of Lin Shuang, looking down at her and scrutinizing her.

The adorable doll, with its mature eyes, created a subtle chemical reaction.

The puppets in the Herta were even more lifelike than Lin Shuang had imagined.

Especially this face, it's so lifelike it's hard to believe it's not a real person.

Lin Shuang even felt that the reason she added very obvious ball joints to the joints was not due to technical limitations.

Rather, it was simply that they didn't want to make the dolls too realistic.

P. S.: I spent money to pull for Firefly's first life, and she's incredibly strong. Even with her broken equipment, she could take me to the lower half of level 12 and finish the team with her super-damage combo in one turn. She's really powerful.

Volume 1: Chapter 171 Herta: Be good, let me see!

After carefully examining the Herta dolls, Lin Shuang couldn't help but marvel at their exquisite craftsmanship.

I was even a little tempted.

When Lin Shuang first thought about the Herta Puppet, she simply wanted to put on a show with Ritual.

But the level of detail was even more exaggerated than Lin Shuang had imagined, making Lin Shuang start fantasizing about sleeping while cuddling the Herta Puppet.

I just don't know if the doll's body is soft.

"Hey-- Ms. Herta? You've finally arrived?"

Just as Lin Shuang and Herta were sizing each other up, March 7th broke the silence by raising his camera.

March 7th hadn't even realized what was happening yet, and only now did she realize that Herta had finally logged into her loyal Space Station.

But I don't know why he's here all alone now. Is he looking for Lin Shuang? Or is he looking for Xing?

Thinking back to the time I first met Ms. Herta on March 7th.

She wanted to study herself because of her unusual origins.

Now that you've come here, are you perhaps planning to study stars?

After all, the Stellaron of the Space Station is inside the body of the star, and the feat of humans containing the Stellaron is indeed quite outrageous.

Herta glanced at March 7th, which was enough to acknowledge him.

March 7th knew that Herta was like that, and she even hoped that Herta wasn't interested in her; she didn't like being studied by others.

However, the introduction still needs to be given. March 7th turned to Lin Shuang and said:

"Let me tell you, she's the true owner of this Space Station, [Genius Society] #83, Herta. Of course, what you're facing is a remotely controlled puppet; nobody knows where she really is."

The Herta, upon being introduced, immediately turned and glared at him:

"Just introduce me properly, why mention the club? I have so many extraordinary achievements, which one doesn't sound better than #83? You can't possibly only remember this one, can you?"

"... Hehe, well, for outsiders, this title is the most straightforward."

March 7th chuckled and scratched his head sheepishly.

While she genuinely didn't remember Ms. Herta or any other achievements, most ordinary people would probably be just like her.

Lin Shuang was clearly not an expert in this area; she was doing this so that Lin Shuang could understand more directly who Herta was.

How can you blame her?

Besides.

Those technical terms and academic papers were enough to give me a headache just looking at them; I March 7th no way of remembering them.

It's highly unlikely that Lin Shuang, who has only recently entered the Galaxy, could possibly know so much.

It will take a very, very long time just to give her a general understanding of this Galaxy.

He's definitely still a member of the "Genius Society"—that title is more direct and impressive.

"Forget it, I didn't expect you to be an expert in this area anyway."

It's clear that Herta knows something about March 7th; perhaps it knew a little about her when it tried to study her before.

The person on March 7th clearly has nothing to do with doing research.

Indeed, one cannot expect her to remember her extraordinary achievements.

So after Herta finished speaking, he set his sights on Lin Shuang and Xing, who was lying behind them.

"I just glanced at the Space Station's logs. Your abilities are quite interesting. Perhaps you're hiding some tricks from me? It wasn't a wasted trip back here."

Lin Shuang's demonstrated control over the power of Heliobus exceeded Herta's expectations.

Moreover, this ability to assimilate and tame is quite interesting.

Add to that the little Stellaron imp who managed to stow away his Stellaron inside his body and still exist peacefully.

Herta nodded in satisfaction.

The Herta's original plan to have Lin Shuang test her ability on Stellaron was ruined.

But it's not a big problem.

The Herta's previous idea was to study Lin Shuang's body to see if it could facilitate the containment of the Stellaron.

Now, the answer to this question is right in front of her, so there's no need to continue.

Let's just study this Stellaron brat directly.

"So, now the Stellaron has become this little brat lying down?"

Himeko wasn't there, so Herta looked directly at Lin Shuang and March 7th.

But March 7th didn't answer; instead, Lin Shuang smiled and nodded.

"Yes, and it's very stable."

"Interesting. When this brat wakes up, you and she should come find me together. I need to take a good look at her."

After speaking, Herta did not look at Xing, but instead carefully examined Lin Shuang's body.

After staring at it for a while, Herta suddenly said:

"Your physique is quite interesting. I even suspect that with your body, you could fit a Stellaron inside. But unfortunately, I don't have a second Stellaron for you to use."

Lin Shuang's body showed no signs of being eroded by the scorching Heliobus.

In other words, even though Lin Shuang was very blatantly using her own body as a medium to use the power of Heliobus, there was no sign of her being affected in the slightest.

Herta even suspected that if Heliobus were replaced with Stellaron, Lin Shuang might also be able to use the Stellaron's power as freely as she does now.

Instead of going berserk and fainting like that kid lying next to me.

However, it's not a big problem. Even without a second Stellaron, the Herta can conduct other experiments to indirectly verify this result.

And...

This brat stole most of the power from a Destruction's Emanator some time ago; that thing's true form was also Heliobus.

So, is Lin Shuang now able to use the power of that Destruction Emanator?

Otherwise, why would she go through all that trouble to gather that power?

Herta's interest in Lin Shuang was no less than Xing's.

"Lin Shuang, would you mind if I took a look at it?"

March 7th, standing to the side, curled her lip; she knew it.

Ms. Herta must have her eye on Lin Shuang and Xing, otherwise why would she have taken the initiative to come here and chat with them?

Lin Shuang simply smiled, after all, what she heard was an expected statement.

"Is Ms. Herta always this direct when inviting people to conduct research?"

"I'm just that direct when it comes to things I'm interested in. I'm too lazy to go through all those roundabout ways at the company; it's pointless. You should be glad you're interested now. I'm willing to compromise on anything. So, tell me, what are your requirements?"
