Elysia Wants to Get Stronger!

She quietly slipped into Sakura's room through the window, because it would be easier to be seen if she went through the front door. Although Mobius and Elysia already knew about this, wouldn't it be very embarrassing if she bumped into Rin?

Therefore, Ling Xi made full use of the power of the Space Core and made the best use of it!

"Eh... Ling Xi?"

When Ling Xi slipped into Sakura's room through the window, Sakura, who was combing her hair, was startled and almost used her "Sword Draw Slash".

"Eh... cough cough, good evening, Sakura."

Although he did come to see Sakura, being discovered as soon as he entered was somewhat... awkward.

"Actually, you could have just left through the door; I didn't lock it..."

Sakura simply smiled at Ling Xi, then put down her grooming tools, led Ling Xi into the room, and asked, "Why did you come to see me so late? Is there something you need?"

"Well..."

Ling Xi scratched his head and chuckled, "Well, about last night, actually..."

Although Sakura didn't resist being with him, nor did she express any dissatisfaction with what happened last night, Ling Xi still felt he should tell Sakura the truth, otherwise he would always feel like there was a thorn in his heart.

What happened last night?

Sakura paused for a moment, but then immediately smiled and said, "If that's what you wanted to say, then there's no need, because I already know that."

"Huh? You knew?"

Ling Xi was immediately dumbfounded. How did this girl know?

"Dr. Mobius ...she already told me about this before."

Sakura touched her cheek, looking a little embarrassed, but still said firmly, "However, I don't have any thoughts about this matter. On the contrary... I really want to Dr. Mobius."

Ling Xi "..."

So, in the real world, there really are people who get completely fooled and still thank the person they were fooled with. Sakura... well, you can't say she's stupid, but how should I put it? She's a bit too naive.

Fortunately, at least I'm not the kind of fool who gets scammed and then thanks the person. And Sakura is my wife now, so... I'll keep an eye on her a bit in the future to prevent her from being scammed again, especially...

That incident with the Corrosion Herrscher!

Before, his desire to save Sakura and Rin was largely driven by personal considerations; he wanted to utilize their power. But now...

This has become part of my responsibility!

In the future, regardless of whether Rin can be saved, Sakura... this time, I will definitely not let you be left with only memories!

"Alright, Sakura, since you already know, then..."

Ling Xi smiled and extended her hand to Ying, saying, "From now on, no matter what happens to you or what trouble you encounter, please tell me immediately. I will always stand behind you."

"Yes, I believe you."

Sakura also reached out her hand to Ling Xi, and it was gently grasped. In that instant, she felt true warmth!

"Well then, Sakura, you should get some rest. I'll head back now."

Since Mobius had already said what needed to be said, Ling Xi decided to leave, since she had come to find Ying to make things clear.

Are we going back?

Sakura smiled slightly and asked, "Um, you... are you really planning to leave like this?"

"Um?"

Hearing Sakura's words, Ling Xi was a little confused.

"You..."

Sakura gently hugged Ling Xi from behind and said tenderly, "You don't want to leave like this, do you? The Doctor also told me about your situation."

Ling Xi thought, "..." Could my Doctor please stop spreading rumors? Although... this isn't a rumor.

Of course, Ling Xi wouldn't refuse Sakura's invitation, and immediately turned around and kissed her...

This kiss should be considered their first truly heartfelt kiss ever, since last night's was more instinctive, while this one was more emotional, although the two are still intertwined.

"Ling Xi, wait for me a moment, I want to take a shower first."

Although Sakura was prepared, she hadn't taken a shower yet, and she had already experienced Ling Xi's fighting power last night, so... she could only take a shower now, and the next time would have to be tomorrow morning.

"Cough cough."

In response, Ling Xi simply coughed lightly and calmly said, "Actually... I didn't wash either."

"Huh?"

Sakura didn't seem to understand Ling Xi's meaning for a moment. "If you haven't taken a shower, then go take one."

"Huh?"

Then, Sakura found herself being picked up by Ling Xi and rushed straight into the bathroom...

Afterwards, Sakura also experienced being thoroughly cleaned by Ling Xi Xili...

"Haaaaaah..."

The next day, in the Mobius Laboratory, Sakura let out a slight yawn...

"Wow, looks like that guy didn't let you get a good night's rest last night."

Elysia burst out laughing, after all, that's exactly what she had done for the past week.

"Um... no, it's just that I got up earlier this morning."

Sakura shook her head slightly, not expressing any dissatisfaction with Ling Xi. Instead, she smiled at Elysia and said, "However, Ling Xi is quite gentle. At least in my opinion, the situation that the Doctor mentioned has not occurred."

Elysia: "..." That's because this guy has already realized the problem, so he's deliberately controlling himself.

"Elysia".

At that moment, Mobius also came out of the laboratory and asked, "Have you finished what I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, we've already filled the quota of one hundred people. In fact, it's more like..."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "These spots are simply not enough. Many people want to join but can't."

"Yeah?"

Mobius frowned slightly and asked, "Have you explained the requirements and risks clearly? Although I need test subjects, I don't want to lie to them."

"Don't worry, I've made myself very clear."

Elysia nodded again, "But even so, they are still very enthusiastic, perhaps... it has something to do with Ling Xi."

"Hmm... Hehe, it seems I underestimated them."

Mobius also smiled.

What she was referring to was having Elysia arrange volunteers for the Hypervariable Surgery. After all, the technology was nearing maturity in Mobius's hands, so the next stage would be human trials.

However, Mobius considered that his reputation made it difficult to find people to help with his experiments, so he asked Elysia to help recruit from his own troops, and he clearly explained the requirements and risks.

I thought that recruiting half of them would be a victory, but to my surprise, we're already full, and it's still not enough!

After thinking it over, I realized it was probably because of Ling Xi!

After all, Ling Xi had saved the world twice, and her popularity and fame far surpassed his own. His Hypervariable Surgery project was precisely the way to turn ordinary humans into superhumans, so...

Even though I have made it clear that this project is extremely risky, many people are still willing to join!

Perhaps the pursuit of power is always a male instinct.

Chapter 277: Elysia Wants to Become Stronger!

"By the way, Mobius, now that we have all the necessary personnel, when will we begin the formal experiment?"

Elysia has always wanted to undergo the Hypervariable Surgery, but because the technology is not yet mature, it is still in the exploratory stage.

"It will be soon."

Mobius also said, "After all, according to the results of Ling... Ling Xi and I's discussion, the Fifth Herrscher should appear within three months. So we don't have much time to conduct experiments slowly. We must quickly obtain the results we need from a large amount of data, otherwise..."

"The arrival of the Fifth Herrscher will only result in the sacrifice of more people."

"The Herrscher..."

Sakura silently repeated the word several times: Herrscher... Only those who have experienced it firsthand can understand how terrifying it is.

"Mobius, why don't you get tested for me too?"

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "After all, I have the strength of an S-rank member of the Poisoned Pupae, so my Honkai Energy Adaptability shouldn't be low either."

"Didn't you just have a test done two months ago? It was only 80HW. Why do you want to get tested again now?"

Mobius didn't refuse; he was just a little curious.

"Hmph, people always grow stronger, what if I become even stronger?"

Elysia pouted, looking unconvinced. After all... Ling Xi had already broken two thousand, while she hadn't even reached three digits yet. The difference was just too big!

In this situation, let alone fighting alongside Ling Xi, he didn't even have the right to hold her back, because his skill level was so low that he could practically pull Ling Xi's pants down.

Therefore, becoming stronger, and continuing to become stronger, is what Elysia wants to do most right now!

"Alright, it's not a big deal anyway."

Mobius nodded, then smiled at Sakura and said, "Sakura, would you like to get tested too?"

"Can."

Sakura didn't refuse, after all... she also wanted to become stronger, at least... to keep up with Ling Xi's pace.

Subsequently, Mobius conducted a Honkai Energy Adaptability test on the two, and the results did indeed surprise Mobius somewhat...

"Elysia, 170 HW, Sakura, 90 HW. Compared to a month ago, Elysia has actually increased by 90 HW?"

Looking at the data, Mobius was very surprised, because Honkai Energy Adaptability is basically determined by human genes. Even if it can be improved to a certain extent in the long term in the Honkai environment, it is ultimately the upper limit determined by genes!

To break through this limit, generally speaking, apart from being eroded by Honkai Energy and undergoing mutation, the only other way is to modify one's own genes. Whether it's Stigmata technology or Hypervariable Surgery, the essence is to modify genes!

However, Elysia's Honkai Energy Adaptability suddenly increased by more than double without any genetic modification, which could not help but surprise Mobius!

As for Sakura, her Honkai Energy Adaptability has increased from 70HW to 90HW. The 70HW figure is from more than five months ago in Changkong City, which is still considered normal.

"Hmph, I knew it."

Seeing that she had actually reached 170HW, Elysia was somewhat surprised, but more excited. At the same time, she was also very curious about how she had done it.

"It was about a month ago, when you gave Ling Xi the Space Gem, right?"

Mobius quickly realized something and said, "The situation was urgent at the time, and you held the Space Core in your arms, so your body was also eroded to some extent. But now it seems... that it has made you stronger."

"Yeah?"

Elysia recalled that, indeed, the situation was urgent at the time, and she had no other choice but to grab the Space Gem and run away. After the battle, she realized that her body had also been severely corroded, but fortunately the degree of corrosion was not serious. With the help of Mobius's auxiliary treatment, it did not cause any consequences!

But now it seems that my unintentional act back then actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

"It's just a guess, not an absolute conclusion."

Mobius also laughed and said, "The specific reason still needs us to conduct more experiments and verifications. Perhaps... it was just a coincidence. Anyway, Elysia, don't suddenly think of embracing the Herrscher Core."

"Hmm... you're right, I understand."

Elysia nodded silently. Although she wanted to become stronger, she also valued her life. If she lost her life, how could she be with Ling Xi?

Over the next two weeks, Mobius conducted numerous experiments.

The results of numerous experiments proved that the reason for Elysia's enhanced Honkai Energy Adaptability seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the Herrscher Core. Fortunately, Mobius specifically instructed that the Herrscher Core should not be touched carelessly, otherwise...

The consequences could be quite serious.

In the past two weeks, Elysia's Honkai Energy Adaptability has continued to increase. Although it's only 30 HW, that's still an astonishing number, isn't it? At least among all humans in the world right now, there are probably fewer than 100,000 people whose Honkai Energy Adaptability can reach 10 HW!

However, Mobius still couldn't find the reason for Elysia's increased Honkai Energy...

"Mmm... Ling Xi!"

In the evening, Elysia returned home and then, somewhat dejected, threw herself into Ling Xi's arms...

"What's wrong, Elysia?"
