Chapter 242
Considering the principle that the higher Chen Li's motivation value, the more data he obtains, the other two geniuses were obviously eliminated.
Vill-V and Mobius were both outstanding researchers.
The Great Herta and Ruan Mei didn't invite the two of them this time was purely out of scientific research spirit, without any personal reasons. Their abilities were simply too weak, and their capacity to handle such situations was too low.
While it's acceptable for Vill-V to use Persona Mask to help shoulder stress, it will "contaminate" all existing personalities within the Persona Mask.
Dr. Mei from the Previous Civilization was also an excellent candidate.
But... Ruan Mei doesn't care about incest, but she thinks Chen Li will. Based on the principle of "one should not covet a friend's wife," Chen Li would likely be very resistant, so that's another pass.
Nguyen May believed that Vill-V and Mobius would voluntarily participate in the research project on Chen Li.
Regardless of whether the two people's purpose is "scientific research" or "Chen Li".
"Don't worry, Mobius has already begun researching how to fuse the Gluttonous Snake with himself through the Metamorphosis Surgery, so the problem is with Vill-V... Hopefully, Chen Li can obtain enough precious materials that are compatible with Vill-V during this period of time," the Great Herta said.
"The game's closed beta test will naturally take some time, so the time... should be enough. I will also collect relevant biological samples in the galaxy." Nguyen Mai nodded.
"Speaking of which... wouldn't it be possible for Mobius to create a world-destroying monster with a scalpel, and then use it as a sample to fuse with other Flame-Chasers?" The Great Herta proposed an idea.
Since there aren't enough world-destroying monsters to fuse with, let's create some world-destroying monsters and then fuse them together.
"We can consider it." Nguyen Mai nodded again.
"... You're an expert in this area, and I need to find other experts. I'll be going now."
What are you going to do?
"Since the amount of data obtained after connecting with Chen Li is related to Chen Li's 'heartbeat value,' let's find a way to make Chen Li fall in love. And coincidentally, there's someone who should be an expert in this area. Making Chen Li in love enough would be a great experience for both him and us." The Great Herta smiled slyly.
The combined pleasure of connecting to the world and entering Hyperdimension perspective with the enjoyment of tasting Chen Li is unmatched by using similar Miraculous Item.
Great Herta felt he was getting a little addicted.
Oh, I shouldn't say that.
—The Great Herta did this because it couldn't bear to let Chen Li waste Crystals to create such Miraculous Item.
"Who?"
"Sirin".
"..." by Ruan Mei.
Great Herta, having you as a teacher is a blessing that Sirin has earned in three lifetimes!
The cocoon of the Cocoon of Eternity finally transformed into Chen Li's appearance.
Chen Li appeared at... the Destiny Headquarters by locating Kevin's Friends Circle Terminal?
"The Destiny Headquarters was originally Sirin's spoils of war, which Sirin took into the World Bubble. Later, it was temporarily lent to Schicksal to host the current Archbishop's coronation ceremony. However, since Sirin went home to kidnap Cecilia, she hasn't come to claim the Destiny Headquarters yet. Therefore, the Destiny Headquarters is now the headquarters of Honkai-Moe Paradise," Gray Serpent explained.
Upon hearing Sirin's words about trying to steal Cecilia away, Z Siegfried gritted his teeth.
His wife was taken away, and he was powerless to do anything about it.
But the other person is a child who lacks maternal love, and you can't swear.
If a man had done that, Z Siegfried would have thrown his glove at the man's face and demanded a duel!
But it was Sirin, of all people.
Legally speaking, Sirin owes the whole world, but Schicksal has also wronged her life.
Chen Li repaid half of what Sirin owed the world, and Sirin quelled the third Honkai, thus making up the other half.
Now it is up to Schicksal to repay the debt.
Z Siegfried could understand this, but why was it his own wife who was being paid off as a debt?
"Alright, that's not the point. Let's talk about the Honkai Impact 3rd game instead." Z Siegfried didn't want to discuss this topic anymore.
"I have fulfilled my mission. I have edited the game rules within 24 hours and made them cover the entire Solar System." Chen Li nodded. Editing the game rules required the use of the Source Text.
As for the Source Text, Chen Li had the help of the Pixie, so even though a considerable amount of time was forcibly spent with the Great Herta and Ruan Mei, Chen Li managed to complete the work within 24 hours.
All Chen Li had to do was copy the Source Text written by the Pixie to the game rules panel word for word.
And that's the real job of a programmer.
Chen Li not know how to program, but surely he knows how to copy and paste?
"Then let's talk about the rules of the game," Kevin said.
Meanwhile, after learning that Chen Li had returned, more and more people gathered at the Destiny Headquarters through WeChat Friends Circle Terminal.
"Once the Miraculous Item, the Poké Ball, is attached, the game rules can be easily modified."
"Rule number one: The Cocoon of Eternity, which controls the laws of the Honkai of the entire Solar System, is responsible for distributing the Stigmata that serve as qualifications for the game. These Stigmata will be gradually distributed to all of humanity over the next two days."
"All humans can obtain a basic random Stigmata, including newborn babies, as basic equipment to adapt to the Honkai. Having one Stigmata is enough to prevent them from being corrupted and turned into Honkai zombie during the Great Honkai. They can protect themselves without worry."
"Once you turn 10, you will receive your second Stigmata. With two Stigmata, you can have close and prolonged contact with Honkai beasts without being affected by any corruption. You will also gain the right to use Poké Balls."
"After passing the tests of the three branches of Honkai-Moe Paradise — Schicksal, Anti-Entropy, and World Serpent— you can obtain the third Stigmata, proving that you are qualified to leave the cradle of humanity and go to the stars."
Simply put, Chen Li split the innate Stigmata level Stigmata into three parts: upper, middle, and lower.
It's not that one cannot directly generate innate Stigmata, but Chen Li knows that ignorant children possessing great power are more likely to cause great turmoil.
There is no difference between a gun in the hands of a child and a gun in the hands of an adult.
The number of Stigmata each person will possess will be different, but what they all have in common is that the difference between having one Stigmata, two Stigmata, and three Stigmata is obvious.
Only when all three Stigmata are present can the full set effect be achieved.
"Wait, we can leave Earth and travel to interstellar space? How do we get there?"
"The channel is not yet open."
"..."
"The interstellar space I'm referring to is naturally the world where the Great Herta and the others live. Although we haven't decided on a base location yet, there's no need to worry about that," Chen Li said.
Whether it's the influence of the Great Herta, Ruan Mei, Screwllum, or Chen Li's own influence, it's enough to find a large enough base of operations.
Given Chen Li's achievement in creating the Xianzhou to suppress Mara-Struck Miraculous Item, it might not be a problem for a Xianzhou to be autonomous.
If every human possessed a natural Stigmata and the right to use Poké Ball, that would already be a very large force.
What? Humans are short-lived species? Joining the Xianzhou Alliance, an alliance of Long-Life Species, seems out of place?
Sorry, but for Chen Li, the Gift of Abundance is truly a wholesale commodity.
It was just something I mentioned casually when I went to the Aeon of Abundance for a buffet.
The Aeon of Abundance will not refuse anyone's request for a blessing; this setting is truly convenient.
"Alright, let's consider the idea of going to interstellar space as just Drawing a Pie in the sky for now, and see what other rules we have."
"Rule Two: Obtain three Stigmata to qualify for the Honkai Impact 3rd Global League. After becoming the global champion, you will receive one limited wish. The prize will be provided by the Cocoon of Eternity."
"The Cocoon of Eternity? Is that reliable?" some people questioned.
"Don't worry, Honkai is omnipotent. And even if someone isn't interested in the Finality, they'll still be interested in the Resurrection Card, right? The champion can choose between making a wish to the Cocoon of Eternity and obtaining Resurrection Card link as a reward. And if the situation is special, the other party can choose to have both," Chen Li said.
Of course, it is up to Chen Li to determine whether the situation is special.
"Alright, now no one can refuse." Everyone couldn't help but nod.
Obtaining a Resurrection Card link means you can produce countless Resurrection Cards.
Which cadre could resist such temptation?
"Wait, What If someone made a wish to the Cocoon of Eternity to become Herrscher?" someone asked.
"It's impossible. Because all the Herrscher slots have already been filled."
"What's the meaning?"
"Uh... I used the Miraculous Item Thorn in the Eye the Thorn to fix the order of Herrscher appearances in the Previous Civilization. And when I was integrating the game rules in the Cocoon of Eternity, I also moved the scope of this Miraculous Item to the back... which means that the Herrscher appearances and even the candidates in the Current Civilization are already fixed."
Chen Li only discovered that he could move the nail Cocoon of Eternity.
"However, you can't become other Herrschers, but you can wish to become one of the thousand Herrschers. Each of the thousand Herrschers in the Previous Civilization possessed a weakened version of the abilities of other Herrschers. It would be a bit difficult to ask the Cocoon of Eternity to replicate the Herrscher Core as a reward, but replicating the Herrscher Core in the Previous Civilization is no problem at all."
"Sounds... not bad."
"Rule 3: Starting from the end of the game update, all Honkai beasts will become neutral creatures. Once captured, they will develop initial intelligence, which will gradually increase with their interaction with their Trainers. Wild Honkai beasts also have a very low probability of gaining intelligence. Trainer capture Honkai beasts will own them, but cruelty and mistreatment of Honkai beasts is prohibited."
"Oh no, now Honkai beasts really are protected animals."
"This is also to prevent a tragedy. Unhappy Honkai beasts can kill those wild Honkai beasts that lack intelligence," Chen Li said, shrugging.
Are there any other rules?
"That's all for now. However, it's currently in beta testing, so the rules may be changed or added later. Once the basic game rule framework is complete, adding new rules won't be as troublesome as it is now," Chen Li said.
"If that's the case... then I suggest we wait until the Current Civilization test is over before deciding on the rules for the Previous Civilization. At least wait a few days to observe the situation and summarize our experience," Ruan Mei suddenly said, appearing out of nowhere.
"That works. But if that's the case, I'll have to borrow Durandal." Chen Li looked at Durandal.
Although Chen Li was startled when he saw Ruan Mei due to psychological factors, Ruan Mei's advice was still quite reasonable.
"Um?"
"I'd like to forge a Miraculous Item for you, or temporarily allocate Miraculous Item to you, and then, when you summon it as a friend, help clean up the Honkai beasts of the Previous Civilization. You can name your reward," Chen Li said.
The advantage of projection is that it can work together with the main body.
Durandal's projection is responsible for dealing with the Honkai beasts of the Previous Civilization, Durandal's original body remains in the Current Civilization to maintain Order.
"No problem. Let's settle the payment with Starstones." Durandal nodded.
"Kevin, you're not getting away either. I need to use your projector too."
"Understood." Kevin nodded coldly.
"I can help too," Sue said.
"Me too..." Fu Hua raised her hand.
"Then I'll just throw another 10 Crystals into the recycling bin and see what kind of Miraculous Items I can randomly produce," Chen Li nodded.
With Durandal and these old fogies from the Previous Civilization as helpers, why worry about the Honkai and chaos caused by the Previous Civilization?
"By the way, besides the rules of the Stigmata War game, I've adjusted the Poké Ball crafting template. For example, it can't capture highly intelligent creatures like humans. Also, Trainers can't participate in the Pokémon Global League," Chen Li said.
"Can't the Trainers participate?" Kiana, somewhat disappointed.
"Wake up, I'm doing this for your own good. Otherwise, how could you beat Kevin?" Chen Li smiled and patted Kiana's head.
Besides, if Trainers can participate, what kind of Pokémon League would it be?
Let's call it Honkai.
"I feel like I'm pretty good at fighting too..."
"What's the point of having a trainer who can fight if you're participating in the Honkai Impact 3rd League? Besides, have you forgotten that the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void's Companion Honkai Beast Benares, is still frozen in Siberia?" Chen Li reminded him.
"Bella? Isn't she with Sirin?"
"That's Bella's soul and wisdom. Her true form is still in Siberia. If you believe in your luck, hurry up and fly to Siberia, take Poké Ball and try to catch it. Be careful someone doesn't steal your things."
"No one can take what's mine!" Kiana's eyes instantly gleamed with golden light.
"Calm down. I'm repairing your Herrscher Core. Once it's finished, Benares should come to you on his own," Ruan Mei said as she walked to Kiana's side.
"Oh, you're right."
"The Herrscher of the Void awakens... Gray Serpent, World Serpent has a cadre named Raven, right?" Chen Li suddenly looked to the side.
"That's right."
"She probably hasn't bought a villa on the island... Never mind, she probably hasn't saved enough money yet." Chen Li realized he had asked too soon.
In the original storyline, Raven's villa island, which she had saved up for many years to buy, was flooded by the tide caused by Kiana's reawakening as the Herrscher of the Void. It is said that Raven cried and made a scene when she heard the news.
But if we repair the Herrscher of the Void Core sooner, the islands they buy in the future won't be flooded, right?
At least the Raven wouldn't be foolish enough to buy a small island that's already been submerged.
We averted another tragedy today.
That's so true to me!
