See? As expected, I understood you better, partner.
"Uh... well... but weren't we discussing the World Bubbles? Partner probably wouldn't..." First Ripple was still trying to convince herself.
"It's just something I can do while I'm at it. Let me think... what kind of Artifact should I forge?" Chen Li waved a hand, his tone utterly casual.
Honestly, this could have been resolved entirely with [The Story of Being Because of You].
But Great Herta was right. If they really fished every World Bubble out of the Sea of Quantum, it would be tantamount to directly negating one of the Sea of Quantum's most fundamental concepts. It might have a huge impact on the Sea of Quantum.
