Chapter 114

Those officials will also work hard.

After all, they are the ones who should be most nervous!

"Yes, the future is bright!"

"..."

"With increased lifespan and so many star gods backing us, I look at the universe, who dares to bully us?"

"Let alone the vast universe, the Imaginary Tree and the Sea of Quantum are all our home. The outside world is probably the same!"

"..."

Although, in essence, this still has little to do with us ordinary folks.

But just as a country becomes powerful, one will feel a sense of pride.

I'm quite happy.

Similarly, some people genuinely want to find a way to travel to the future and witness its grandeur.

Thus, the pursuit of immortality and longevity, or even freezing one up and finding a way to unfreeze one in the future, became a popular argument.

Most of them are scams.

But before that, it was only vaguely known.

Now!

But they became somewhat blatant.

Don't assume that intellectuals are immune to being deceived.

If you get scammed, it doesn't matter who you are.

As Kiana idly scrolled through her phone, she could see that the number of people who had been scammed as a result had increased dramatically over the past two weeks.

Every week, in every country and every place, thousands of fraud cases are solved. Sometimes it's really laughable, but it's also very real.

Even Hen asked cryptically if there was any way to hold on and catch a glimpse of the future.

Mobius did say that whether the awakened Stigmata can grant immortality is unknown, but lifespan extension is possible. But don't look over there, look at me, look at me! I'm here as Shiro —no, a volunteer.

Once I complete the Fusion Warrior technology and Honkai Energy, you can live as long as you want. Doesn't that sound tempting?

Well, how should I put it?

She's figured out the secret to wealth.

After all.

Because of what she said, even though they knew that the Fusion Warrior surgery was not something anyone could do, the high-ranking officials, executives, and even the wealthy from various countries and organizations all wanted to kneel down beside Mobius, cling to her leg, and fawn over her.

What if?

What if I could also become a Fusion Warrior?

Even if you're not strong enough, just being alive is enough!

Kiana was somewhat hesitant to comment on this.

But Dr. Mei seemed quite open-minded about it; she even told Kevin.

"That's just how humans are."

"..."

She was wearing a white lab coat and gently rested her hand on the table.

"Some people complain about their fate, and some people hate the nobility. But in reality, they just hate that they are not nobles, and they hate that those who have privileges are not themselves."

"Although everyone has a pillar of support because of Young Lady Kiana, no one knows how long that pillar of support can last. Even if they believe in her, they don't believe they can survive as the Honkai becomes more and more intense."

"After all, even if they are unwilling to admit it, they know very well that they are just an insignificant pawn, insignificant."

"..."

"One is a bright future, the other is a brief period of darkness."

"Life is short, only a hundred years. How many people would be willing to not experience the future when they know it will be bright?"

She paused slightly.

"So those who were deceived were not unaware that they had been deceived, but they still clung to a glimmer of hope."

"Like I said... what if?"

PS1: First update delivered, three more to come, keep it up!

115. Pardo the cat was scared half to death. Meow—

However, I must say!

The extra episode is about the members of Young Lady Kiana's harem.

This resulted in it generating a huge amount of buzz.

Even the various pieces of information and bombshells hidden within are so numerous that they are almost overwhelming.

This leads to...

Online, offline, during casual conversations, in meetings and discussions, and so on.

Everyone's attention seemed to be focused more on the content of the side story.

I didn't seem to have much interest in the review video of Aponia that was played earlier.

That's not actually the case.

My interest remains.

However, the timing of her review video was indeed somewhat awkward, causing what should have been a huge stir to be completely overshadowed by the harem review content in the extra episode, making it seem rather bland.

The attention it should have received was overshadowed.

If you look closely, you'll also find it.

There was still discussion.

There are still related topics.

However, it is mostly mentioned along with the side stories.

The previous review videos also saw a significant recovery as a result.

Perhaps... this isn't all a bad thing.

You need to know.

All videos were carefully produced by Kiana before being played.

Whether the information contained herein is true or not is another matter, but regardless of whether it's intended to mislead or to genuinely tell you something, this is what the Young Lady wants you to know, which is why she's letting you know it.

She'll get upset if you don't analyze it.

The fact that you are so self-aware now, going to supplement, speculate, and improve...

She was even happier.

Whether to say it or not!

Sometimes, Kiana doesn't just work in isolation.

She would also listen to Elysia and the others' opinions, as well as the opinions of those around her regarding the content of the Sky Screen video.

She would even go online every time to read what others were saying.

It wasn't just a choice made by a creator who wanted to see everyone's opinions and share their joy. It was also because there were always some people who could inspire her and, intentionally or unintentionally, help her refine her virtual future timeline.

Indeed.

She will continue to observe the future, and adjust and correct accordingly.

But often, it is precisely through subjective opinions that we can drive the future forward in a better direction.

That was one of her goals!

How can we define something as more subjective?

Of course, that's my opinion.

I think you're right, so next up is mine.

Perhaps the people who put forward these ideas, speculated, sorted them out, and then had them confirmed by the heavens, thinking they had guessed the truth, would be very happy.

But isn't this also a small, virtuous cycle?

After all, people are more motivated to discuss and analyze when they are happy.

It's like a work of art.

Whether it's anime, comics, or novels, the comment section is sometimes even more interesting.

These days, Kiana is either being held in Aponia's arms while playing on her phone, or going to the bar that Eden opened inside the Flame-Chasing Moth, where she plays and chats, sometimes sitting there all day long.

Yes.

Eden has now joined the Flame-Chasing Moth.

But nothing really happened.

She simply opened a bar so that people could sit down, have some fun, relax, and chat whenever they had time.

However, although the Flame-Chasing Moth is not prohibited from drinking alcohol.

However, drinking alcohol is generally not allowed during working hours.

As a result, the soldiers, staff, and even Elysia and Kiana, among others, didn't really drink much.

Moreover, because of Eden's preferences, the entire bar is more like a quiet bar, with an elegant environment and classical background music. It has a great atmosphere, but you can't expect it to be lively or a place for clubbing.

She doesn't dislike him.

However, the noise can also be a bit of a headache.

And by the way!

Previously, everyone thought that Pardo was just called Pardo.

I didn't even know what they looked like, but I still went to find them.

I found out later.

So, Pardo's real name is Pardo Felis.

There are even character illustrations that you can refer to directly.

So it didn't take long at all.

Miss Pardo was taken back to the Flame-Chasing Moth.

Her family members were also with her.

Ask her name, and all the cats are Canned Food. She's not stupid, nor can she not tell them apart. It's just that when she calls for Canned Food, the cats all respond. Over time, she's gotten used to it.

Kiana had finally met a cat without a tail or ears.

She seemed less lively than I remembered, and more quiet when she didn't speak.

After all, her hairstyle is an adorable bob.

Everyone knows that a girl with a bob haircut looks like a well-behaved girl.

That's how Seele is.

Unfortunately... Pardo is not.

"Pardo!"

"Young Lady?!"

Why are you so afraid of me?

Where, where is it?

Kiana found Pardo, Pardo's expression became somewhat stiff.
