Sakura and the Elf's Daily Life! / Has Sakura Gotten Stronger Again?

These two also have quite a few things in common. For example, they both go home every day, both possess the strength of an S-rank member of the Poisoned Pupae, Sakura comes to the research institute every day, Elysia comes every two days. In short...

The two people have very similar living environments and habits, and both have shown increased Honkai Energy Adaptability, so... the secret must lie with these two.

"Yes, I understand."

Although she didn't know what Mobius was coming for, Sakura still nodded in agreement. But then again, her current Honkai Energy Adaptability was probably the strongest besides Ling Xi and that Fused Warrior from before.

Even Elysia is not as good as me.

"Mobius, now that we have such strong Honkai Energy Adaptability, shouldn't we be able to perform the Hypervariable Surgery?"

After realizing how strong she was, Elysia became somewhat eager to try. After all, the temptation to become stronger was quite effective for her. Of course, the main reason was that Ling Xi was just too strong.

"Sure, if you want it, I can inject you with the Hypervariable Factor right now."

Mobius simply smiled at Elysia and said, "After all, you currently have Honkai Energy Adaptability of 400HW, so as long as you inject a 100HW level Hypervariable Factor, I can completely guarantee your safety and a high probability that you will gain super-mutant abilities, but..."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "Are you really willing to accept this? 100HW of Hypervariable Factor is just the gene of an ordinary Honkai Beast. And genes of this level are destined to have a limited upper limit. Are you... sure you want to have the Hypervariable Surgery now?"

"Well... let's forget about it then."

After a moment's thought, Elysia resolutely refused. She was, after all, the protagonist... or at the very least, the female lead. How could she inject the Hypervariable Factor of an ordinary Honkai Beast?

Even if I were to undergo the Hypervariable Surgery, the Hypervariable Factor gene would have to be at least Emperor-class- level, if not Judgment-class, so that Ling Xi could experience what it meant to be hit by Emperor-class Honkai Beast!

Chapter 280: Sakura and the Fairy's Daily Life!

"Sakura, are you there?"

That evening, Ling Xi quietly slipped into Ying's room, following the same order as the night before.

"Ling Xi?"

Seeing Ling Xi appear was nothing new to Ying; normally, she might have approached him directly, but today...

"I'm sorry, Ling Xi, I..."

Sakura rubbed her temples slightly and smiled, "I might not have time today, I have to write a life report."

"Write a life report?"

Hearing Sakura's answer, Ling Xi was a little confused and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of writing a life report? Speaking of which... what is there to write about?"

"As requested by Dr. Mobius."

Sakura sighed helplessly and smiled, "Because when Mobius conducted Honkai Energy Adaptability tests on me and Elysia today, he found that our Honkai Energy Adaptability both exceeded 400HW. Compared to a month and a half ago, Elysia's increased by 200HW, and mine increased by a full 330HW."

"Pfft... how much?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi was a little dumbfounded. These two's Honkai Energy Adaptability... exceeded 400HW?

Holy crap!

It's important to understand that the standard for Simulated Herrscher is 1000 HW, while 600 HW is the minimum standard for A-rank Valkyrie in the post-civilization era. In other words...

These two haven't even undergone genetic modification, yet they're already approaching the level of a post-civilization A-rank Valkyrie.

Well... all I can say is, they truly deserve to be called the future Thirteen Flame-Chasers. Although they may not be the strongest among all the Fused Warrior, these two... have already proven their talent!

"400 HW, but Dr. Mobius still can't find the reason why we've become stronger, so he asked me and Elysia to write a life report, detailing what's happened to us recently, and then..."

Sakura shrugged and smiled, "If we find some similarities, we might be able to find some clues."

Ling Xi "..." Similarities...

That's probably a bit too much.

After all, although the two girls have some differences in their lifestyles, their schedules are basically the same. The only difference is that Sakura exercises often, while Elysia always slacks off. Also, Sakura goes to the research institute almost every day except weekends, while Elysia works one day and plays three days, taking slacking off to the extreme!

However, these differences should be unrelated to the increase in Honkai Energy Adaptability.

"Ling Xi, you should go back and rest first. I might have to write until quite late."

At this moment, Ying also told Ling Xi to go back and rest, since she really didn't have time tonight. Of course, if Ling Xi insisted, she wouldn't refuse.

"It's okay, I'll help you."

Ling Xi smiled helplessly, then sat down next to Ying, looked at the keyboard in front of her, and said, "Making spreadsheets and writing reports is my forte. After all, I've been learning from Senior Sister Klein for more than half a year."

"Uh... okay, thank you."

Seeing that Ling Xi was willing to help, Ying naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, this was Ling Xi's strength. Letting Ling Xi use her strengths to make up for her weaknesses would achieve twice the result with half the effort. Hmm... that's right!

"Why are you thanking me?"

Ling Xi smiled and then started helping Ying with the spreadsheet. Although writing a report was simple, she had worked with Klein for a long time, so she knew exactly how to make all the data easy to understand and reduce the workload for Mobius to read!

And in this respect, Klein did it best. To be honest, if I were Mobius, I wouldn't be able to do without Klein either. This tool... cough cough, assistant, is too perfect.

After that, Ling Xi helped Ying edit her life report. Ying was mainly responsible for speaking and explaining, while Ling Xi was responsible for writing. In fact, they were mostly the same: going to the research institute every day, occasionally going out to play, tutoring Ling's homework, and playing games with herself in the evening...

Of course, Ling Xi felt that the last point didn't really need to be written in, but in the spirit of scientific rigor, Ling Xi added it anyway, and... it's quite regular.

Sakura on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays Elysia on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. If the Doctor returns, then the Doctor takes priority. Hmm... very regular!

In short, with Ling Xi's help, Ying quickly finished her life report, since there really wasn't much to write. As for what happened next...

Since we're already here, we can't just leave empty-handed, can we?

So, the two of them added another entry to their evening report...

The next day, Mobius reviewed the life reports sent by Elysia and Sakura, and well... it felt very uneventful.

My daily life consisted almost entirely of going between the research institute and home. During holidays, I'd occasionally go out for a stroll, and...

Sakura's report...

[Monday, went to the research institute, had lunch, went home after work, and spent the evening with Ling Xi...]

[On Tuesday, I went to the research institute, had lunch, went home after get off work, and spent the evening with Ling...]

[Monday, went to the research institute, had lunch, went home after work, and spent the evening with Ling Xi...]

[Thursday evening, I'll go keep Ling company...]

[Friday evening, spending time with Ling Xi...]

[Saturday evening, I'll go keep Ling company...]

[On the weekend, I went shopping in the morning, then watched a movie, went to a restaurant in the evening, and finally spent time with Ling Xi...]

Mobius: "..." What the hell... are you copying and pasting from here?

Looking at Elysia's report again, it was almost identical to Sakura's, the only difference being... that she and Sakura missed each other that evening.

However, Mobius felt that the two reports were not very useful, since they were just diaries.

"So, Mobius, have you made any discoveries?"

Elysia looked at Mobius with curiosity. Although she knew that her report was like fluff, it was the truth.

"Whoosh..."

Mobius simply sighed helplessly and laughed, "Forget it, let's investigate slowly. After all, there aren't any clues worth paying attention to right now."

"That's true..."

Elysia nodded silently, then smiled and said, "Mobius, could you check my Honkai Energy Adaptability again? Maybe it's gotten even stronger?"

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Mobius, of course, would not refuse, since the current instruments are very convenient, taking less than half a minute from detection to data generation.

So, Mobius tested Elysia's Honkai Energy Adaptability again and laughed, "Unfortunately, Elysia, your data is exactly the same as yesterday. If we exclude errors, there is almost no change."

"Hmm... Ah, as expected."

Elysia simply shrugged, not showing any surprise, then suddenly grabbed Sakura's arm and said with a smile, "Sakura, why don't you get tested too?"

"Huh? I think I'll pass. Anyway, it'll probably be the same as you, with no changes at all."

Sakura smiled and shook her head, feeling it was unnecessary. After all, she and Elysia were almost exactly the same in their daily lives. Elysia hadn't changed, so what changes could she possibly have?

"Hey, come on, come on, it's not a big deal anyway, give it a try..."

As she spoke, Elysia pushed Sakura into the testing chamber, while Mobius immediately activated the equipment for testing. Although she also thought the data wouldn't differ from yesterday's, the actual situation was...

On the instrument's display screen, a very prominent data point appeared: [Target adaptability test result: 430±10HW!]

Chapter 281: Sakura Has Become Stronger Again?

Upon seeing the data displayed on the instrument, Mobius immediately opted to retest and refresh the data, however...

The result was exactly the same!

Sakura's Honkai Energy Adaptability is as high as 430HW, which is 10HW higher than yesterday's test!

"Elysia, what do you think?"

At this point, Mobius could no longer use the excuse that the instrument was broken, because it was obvious to everyone that this was not a problem with the instrument.

"I'll just stand here and watch..."

Elysia was also somewhat puzzled. At this point, she was no longer surprised, because she had seen this many times before.

"Cherry."

Mobius swiped open a virtual screen, showed the data to Sakura, and said with a smile, "Yesterday... was there anything else you didn't write down? If so, you must tell me, it's... very important."

"Huh? But..."

Sakura rubbed her forehead, pondered for a long time, and finally shook her head, smiling wryly, "Doctor, I really don't know. Yesterday, my daily routine was almost exactly the same as before. I came to the research institute with Elysia in the morning, had lunch here, went back with Elysia in the evening, then prepared dinner, and in the evening... um, cough cough!"

Sakura coughed lightly and said, "I started writing my life report tonight, and then Ling Xi came to find me and helped me make a form. Of course... well, it's my duty to help Ling Xi suppress the desire of the Honkai Beast genes."

"Damn it, Ling Xi is helping you but not me, I'm jealous."

As soon as Sakura finished speaking, Elysia seemed a little unhappy. This guy, who should have been closer to the class, actually went to help Sakura write the report instead of helping her. He's fickle and doesn't care about the old and the new. What a jerk!

"Elysia, don't speak yet."

Mobius immediately quieted Elysia down and began to think. From yesterday to today, Sakura's Honkai Energy Adaptability, but Elysia's had not. Therefore, the dozen or so hours from when Sakura went back yesterday to when she came to the research institute today were the key clues to solving this mystery.

If we can find the differences between Sakura's and Elysia's actions during this period, then the truth should be very close, and the difference between these two...

Mobius: "..." Holy crap, wait, why am I suddenly having such an outrageous deduction... Ling Xi!

"Elysia ..."

Mobius looked directly at Elysia, though she also felt her deduction was absurd, but...

When you eliminate all the impossibilities of a matter, the remaining result, no matter how outrageous, is the truth!

"What's wrong?"

Elysia looked at Mobius with curiosity.

"Tonight... it's Ling Xi's turn to come see you, isn't it?"

By this time, the three of them already knew about each other's relationship, so there was no need to hide anything from each other.

"Um... well."

After a moment's thought, Elysia smiled and said, "Of course, it depends on Ling Xi. If Ling Xi comes, then she'll naturally come to see me. If she doesn't come... then I guess I'll just have to get some rest soon."

"Um..."

Mobius nodded thoughtfully and smiled, "Elysia, I also plan to go home tonight. When I do, I'd like you to help me verify something."

"Um?"

Elysia seemed somewhat puzzled, but recalling the test results and Mobius's sudden question, Elysia quickly considered a possibility, only...

"Mobius, what do you mean?"

Elysia looked at Mobius with some surprise. To be honest, this kind of setting... seems like something that only appears in doujinshi, right?

"Well, it can't be ruled out, and... the possibility is very high."

Mobius nodded silently, saying, "Because this isn't entirely without scientific basis. Ling Xi still possesses several Herrscher Core, and her Honkai Energy Adaptability surpasses that of ordinary Herrscher. Therefore... some substances on Ling Xi's body might have the potential to enhance Honkai Energy Adaptability, after all..."

Mobius smiled slightly and said, "Before the Stigmata and the Hypervariable Surgery, weren't humans' Honkai Energy Adaptability improved through contact with Honkai Energy? And Ling Xi..."

"He himself is a powerful aggregate of Honkai Energy. If his body can convert Honkai Energy into a form that is harmless to humans, then... this makes sense."

Elysia: "..." Although... but still I think this is outrageous?
