We Need More Herta!

We Need More Herta!

After obtaining three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, Herta's strength underwent a tremendous leap, making her even more powerful than before.

The level twenty-nine Herta had already been able to suppress the level fifty Wu Zhangkong head-on. Now, against the level thirty-one Herta, Wu Zhangkong had no choice but to use level sixty Soul Power.

It had only been a little over a month since school began, yet Herta's growth had already reached such a terrifying level. Wu Zhangkong even wondered whether he would have to use Battle Armor when sparring with Herta next month.

Wu Zhangkong was only level sixty himself, and his Battle Armor was merely a two-word set. But once he put it on, he could rival a Titled Douluo! Herta was only a nine-year-old child who had just broken through level thirty. Did she really have that much potential?

Though it was unbelievable, Wu Zhangkong somehow felt that Herta could do it. What the hell was wrong with him?

Combined with Herta's ability to learn anything after seeing it once, Wu Zhangkong's teaching progress sped up dramatically. Fortunately, he only taught once a week. Otherwise, after the first lesson, he would have had nothing left to teach her.

But even so, Wu Zhangkong's teaching methods had been reduced to just one thing...

Actual combat! Actual combat! More actual combat!

Other than actual combat, Wu Zhangkong had nothing left to guide Herta in!

This also allowed Herta to devote more time to forging...

Though calling it forging was no longer quite appropriate, because during this period of study, Herta had long ceased to be merely a Forging Master.

Throughout the era of The Legend of the Dragon King, there were only four such secondary professions: Mecha Forger, designer, manufacturer, and repairer. Herta had already mastered them all.

The current Herta could truly be called a scientist.

Thus, she no longer needed to spend so much time studying at Eastsea Academy and had more time to do her own things.

For example, right now, she was at the Forging Association in Eastsea City.

"Uncle, get me some of these metals!"

Herta handed Mu Chen a sheet covered in metal names, making the corner of the Eight-Star Saint Craftsman's mouth twitch.

"My little ancestor, I believe in your skills, but what do you need so many precious metals for? Even if you're practicing Spirit Refinement, you don't need this much, do you?"

"I just broke through."

Yet in response to Mu Chen's question, Herta merely replied, then silently released her Soul Rings, flashing them before his eyes for an instant. With Mu Chen's strength as a Titled Douluo, he naturally saw Herta's current Soul Power and Soul Rings clearly.

A Soul Elder? And three Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings? How had she done that?

The sight before him completely overturned Mu Chen's common sense. Yet he also understood what Herta meant by showing him this, so he immediately arranged for someone to fetch the rare metals.

The Forging Association did not directly sell rare metals, but it did provide metals for members to forge. However, each member was limited to ten pieces per month.

The sheet Herta had given him was filled with metal names. Looking closely, there were already more than thirty kinds. She was clearly preparing for something big.

After all the metals had been delivered to Herta's forging room, Mu Chen had originally intended to see what she was making. But who would have thought...

"I plan to make some close-fitting things. Are you interested in my body? Then afterward, I'll have a nice talk with Mama Bao Er..."

What a joke! Given Mu Chen's position at the bottom of the family hierarchy, how could he dare do such a thing?

So before Herta could finish speaking, Mu Chen ran off immediately. On his way out, he warned everyone not to approach this forging room, or they would bear the consequences themselves.

"Finally, I can try this idea!"

After all the irrelevant people had left, Herta finally let out a sigh of relief and walked up to the forging table.

After obtaining Herta's clone, Yao Lan discovered that the Herta Clone he possessed was not a puppet at all, but a genuine young Herta!

He had formed an idea back then. Since his clone was "Herta's Original Body," could he continue making Herta Puppets after she grew up in the future?

Or perhaps he could start making them now?

To be honest, Yao Lan was also curious. Herta was originally his clone, so if that clone created more clones, what would that feel like?

He was curious, so he wanted to try it!

In other words, they needed more Herta!

One body was no longer enough to satisfy Herta's desire for exploration. She wanted to do more things at the same time!

The reason she had asked Mu Chen for so many metals was to make Herta Puppets. Although Yao Lan did not know what materials the Herta Puppets in Honkai: Star Rail were made from, in Douluo Continent, he planned to use metal.

The profession of Forging Master also fulfilled the requirements for Herta Puppets at the anchor point. This was why Yao Lan had chosen to become a Forging Master first.

Reaching the Spirit Refinement level granted metal vitality.

Reaching Soul Refinement granted metal vitality, attributes, and self-awareness.

Reaching Heaven Refinement meant creating living beings from metal. That was clearly no longer a domain humans should possess!

Looking at it that way, wouldn't forging Herta Puppets become much simpler?

However, before truly starting to make the puppets, there was one extremely important thing to do: gather the body's measurements!

The current Herta Clone possessed a real flesh-and-blood body. In terms of appearance, the only difference between her and the Herta Puppet from the game was the lack of joints. Therefore, Herta needed to record her current measurements for future puppet production.

Since it was the forging room Mu Chen had provided, Herta easily found measuring tools. Compared with using advanced instruments to measure body data, Yao Lan felt that a more primitive method should be used... and Herta had no objections.

Removing her purple dress, Herta walked before the mirror and carefully examined her current body.

"Having her own airfield at such a young age, yet somehow having so much room for future development... I really wonder how she grew that big in the first place. But for a genius, adjusting her own body data should be as easy as lifting a hand, right?"

So after Herta grew up, would she be a Chinese washboard or a Russian executive?

That question was no longer so important. After all, Herta was a genius in multiple fields. Even if she truly did not develop properly in the future, making them bigger would be effortless, right?

No wonder she called March 7th a little runt!

"But being small is kind of cute too!"

As line after line of data was written onto the white paper, Herta completed her survey of the puppet measurements. Whether it was height or weight, bust or waist, softness or firmness, Herta considered everything.

"With this, I can make the most lifelike Herta Puppet!"
