Upon hearing this, Ling Xi fell silent for a moment, but...

More than anything, it's a sense of relaxation. After all... even though he doesn't yet know if Seele will truly become the Sixth Herrscher in the future, at least...

The last resort has been found.

Then, Ling Xi took another look at the effects of the Time-Space Authority!

[Space-Time: The power to control Time-Space Authority, specific effects unknown!]

"Choose Soul Fragment!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Xi decisively chose the Soul Fragment. Although the Time-Space Authority and Iron Cavalry effects were also quite good, but...

I don't need more power right now; all I need is the power to protect Seele!

As for Cecilia Stigmata...

Let's talk about it later. If Seele survives the future crisis safely, or if she is not the so-called Sixth Herrscher at all, then we can consider materializing Cecilia. After all, she was the strongest S-rank Valkyrie in the previous Schicksal, and her Holy Blood is very effective against Herrscher. If she can be materialized, she will definitely be a very powerful ally!

Of course, all of this is on the premise that Seele's safety is guaranteed!

After all, the effect of the Gemini Stigmata is only to preserve Seele's soul, but to see Seele again, you need Soul Fragment!

And since there's no guarantee that you'll get this item even after a hundred pulls, Ling Xi doesn't know if she'll ever get it again, so it's always better to grab it now!

After putting away the Soul Fragment, Ling Xi took another look at what she had just drawn. Ling Xi ignored the three-star and four-star items and focused mainly on the Stigmata!

Among them, the Sakura Stigmata has been automatically converted into gold-quality Stigmata Gene, while the remaining three Stigmata still exist in the form of cards, and...

Currently, only I can use it!

However, the Sakura Stigmata seems to be different!

[Cherry Blossom: Ling Xi, Yingke, disposable product. After injection, it forms a natural cherry blossom-colored Stigmata, covering any previously or future Stigmata implanted. It possesses the basic ability of Stigmata Space and storage consciousness; more specific abilities depend on the user!]

"Heh... Apart from Seele turning into Sakura, the introduction is almost exactly the same as that of the twins."

Ling Xi couldn't help but complain, "This copywriting is too perfunctory. By the way, why isn't the Sakura Stigmata a Hero Stigmata? Cecilia, which is also a three-in-one, is the Hero Stigmata."

"This is because the same identical entity cannot exist simultaneously in the same world!"

Sirin calmly explained, "The essence of the Sakura Stigmata is a cherry blossom, and since cherry blossoms already exist in this world, they cannot be materialized. Cecilia, on the other hand, will appear in the future, but she has not yet appeared, so she can be materialized!"

"I see..."

Ling Xi understood and nodded silently. Then she drew the remaining thirty supply cards. After all, keeping them wouldn't produce any eggs, so it was better to draw them directly. Maybe she could collect all of Elysia's Stigmata and inject the Stigmata Gene into their bodies at the same time.

Three 10-pulls and Ling Xi's luck remains as good as ever... Really!

[Elysia (Part 2) *1]

[Kaslana Stigmata (Middle) *1]

[Kaslana Stigmata (Bottom) *1]

Ling Xi "..."

If I say I'm lucky, I almost always manage to barely make the minimum score; but if I say I'm unlucky...

I've collected all four of the Stigmata I drew today, except for Allen Poe. Is this what they mean by luck always finding strange places to be used for?

As two beams of light flashed, Elysia and Kaslana Stigmata automatically synthesized Stigmata Gene, but unfortunately, neither of them were hero Stigmata!

That afternoon, Ling Xi took Ling and Seele out for a walk. On their way back, Ling Xi went to the research institute to ask the Doctor if they wanted to go home that night, and also to test Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability, and...

"This is?"

Looking at the three metal syringes in front of him, Mobius was also somewhat surprised, because... these three metal syringes were almost identical except for the color inside, which was slightly different from the previous Gemini Stigmata.

"This is Sakura's exclusive Stigmata, only Sakura can use it. This is Elysia's exclusive Stigmata, similarly, only Elysia can use it, however..."

Ling Xi finally pointed to the Kaslana Stigmata and said, "This is the Kaslana Family's Stigmata. Anyone with the Kaslana Family bloodline can use it, but the success rate depends on the strength of the bloodline and one's own Honkai Energy Adaptability."

As for Cecilia Stigmata, Ling Xi did not take it out. After all, it was a Hero's Stigmata containing Cecilia's consciousness. If she rashly lent it to Mobius, it could easily cause some inexplicable trouble.

"Phew... Okay, I get it."

Looking at the supplies Ling Xi sent, Mobius expressed his understanding and said, "I will study these three sets of Stigmata Gene as soon as possible. As for Elysia and Sakura's Stigmata Gene, I will return them to you as soon as possible, after all, you prepared them for them."

In the end, a faint hint of displeasure appeared on Mobius's face...

Ling Xi "..."

Um, speaking of which, Doctor...

Is he jealous? Because he didn't prepare a special Stigmata for her?

But you can't blame me for this. After all, what kind of Stigmata I get depends entirely on luck. Besides...

Even if the items you get from gacha pulls are related to the people around you, you've been spending most of your time with Elysia and Sakura Doctor, and you rarely come home, so you can't really blame yourself for not being able to pull the Doctor's Stigmata.

"Doctor, the Stigmata of Elysia and Sakura..."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "After you finish your research, just give it to them directly, or you can return it to me and I'll give it to them then."

"Then you should give it to them yourself. After all, it's such an important thing. It's two different things if I give it to them and you give it to them."

Mobius smiled slightly, still thinking it would be better for Ling Xi to give them the gifts.

"What should we do with the Kaslana Stigmata? I remember..."

After a moment's thought, Mobius chuckled and said, "That white-haired boy next to Mebius, doesn't he share the same surname as Kaslana?"

"Doctor, you can handle it as you see fit."

Ling Xi wasn't interested in the Kaslana Stigmata and left the decision to Mobius. She smiled and said, "By the way, Doctor, there's something else. I brought Seele with me to test her Honkai Energy Adaptability. Is that alright?"

"Okay, no problem. Let her in, and give her a medical check-up while you're at it!"

Mebius readily agreed and gestured for Ling Xi to bring Seele in.

OK!

Ling Xi immediately turned around and went out to call Seele.

Chapter 291: Just another week's routine!

A moment later, Mobius also obtained data on Seele Honkai Energy Adaptability. Well, to put it simply...

"She actually has 30 HW, this girl..."

Seeing this, Mobius was also somewhat puzzled. After all, Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability was less than 5 HW when it was tested a few months ago—she was a standard ordinary person. And now...

In just a few short months, how did Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability increase so much?

And considering Ling Xi's abilities...

Mobius "..."

Could it be that this guy has already eaten Seele? No, that's not right. After all, when I just examined Seele, I knew very well that Seele was still a fledgling. So the question is, how did Seele's Honkai Energy Adaptability increase?

After much thought, Mobius could only come up with one possibility: drinking milk tea...

Unexpectedly, this guy said he would never bully Seele, but he's been finding all sorts of ways to torment Seele. And based on my experience, each instance increases her Honkai Energy Adaptability by about 3 HW, so Seele is now...

At least ten times.

So, Mobius gave Ling Xi a disdainful look, finally understanding what it meant to say one thing but mean another.

"Um?"

Looking at Mobius's eyes, Ling Xi had a question mark pop into her head. Had she... offended the Doctor in some way?

"It's nothing, Seele has good talent..."

Mobius just smiled, but he didn't intend to tell Ling Xi the truth yet. After all... if this guy found out, he might use this excuse to find sisters for himself everywhere, and he might even swear that it was for the sake of humanity.

Therefore, Mobius didn't want this to happen, even if it meant increasing human combat power...

But we should prioritize our own people, like Klein in the lab, or we can also develop relationships with Danzhu Cangxuan, since these people have a pretty good relationship, right?

Of course, there's also the most crucial issue: this matter... absolutely cannot be exposed!

Otherwise, Mobius felt that those idiotic higher-ups would do something even more idiotic, so for now, it was enough for just the three of them to know. Besides...

With Elysia and Sakura around, plus Seele, this guy is unlikely to have the energy to look for anyone else in the short term!

Besides, after I finish up my work at the research institute in a few days, I'll start going home every day, after all...

Becoming stronger—that's something I've always wanted to do.

"Welcome back, Ling Xi!"

In the evening, Ling Xi returned home with the two little girls, and was first greeted by a hug from Elysia.

"Elysia is still so soft..."

Ling Xi wasn't surprised at all by Elysia's sudden hug, but she still smiled and said, "Alright, Elysia... I still need to put my things away."

"Okay, I'll help you."

Elysia very sensibly took the things from Ling Xi's hands, and said with a smile, "Ling Xi, dinner is almost ready. Sakura and I prepared it together."

"Oh, really? We'll get to eat Elysia's cooking again tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi immediately perked up. Although Sakura's cooking was quite good, eating too much of Sakura's food could easily get boring, so she needed to change things up occasionally and try Elysia's miniature sculptures.

"Well... I tried my hand at cooking and made two dishes."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "How about... you guess later? If you guess right... there'll be a reward."

"No need to guess..."

Ling Xi put her arm around Elysia's waist, then leaned close to her body and whispered with a smile, "After all, the two best dishes are definitely made by Elysia."

"Hmph... you're such a smooth talker!"

Elysia gave a soft hum, but seemed quite satisfied with the answer, so she chuckled softly, "You pass. Just wait and see tonight..."

Ling Xi: "..." Um... is this reward you're talking about legitimate?

Ling Xi didn't understand the question of whether it was proper or not, but when Elysia came to the room that evening dressed as a maid, Ling Xi immediately understood.

As for Sakura... she was also dragged along by Elysia, and she was even wearing the same maid outfit as Elysia...

Ling Xi "..."

"Cough cough."

Elysia coughed softly, then smiled sweetly and said gently, "Master, it's getting late. Would you like me to help you take a bath?"

"Eh... Master... Master..."

Sakura really wanted to find a place to commit suicide, after all, she had been forcibly dragged here by Elysia, and even put in this outfit...

However, I can't not come. After all, Elysia is the queen of competition, and if I don't come for even a day, Elysia might fall behind in our progress. So...

In the end, she still went despite her reluctance.

Ling Xi "..."

Actually, Ling Xi wanted to get a good rest tonight. After all, following yesterday's intense battle, even if she could handle it herself, she should let Elysia and Sakura rest. But...

The enemy has already mocked us to our faces; how can we remain indifferent?

That very night, Ling Xi played the landlord again, fighting two peasants. Of course, he easily defeated the peasants, after all...

The gap in physical fitness cannot be bridged by willpower alone!

In the following days, Sakura took a rare day off and spent almost all her time at home with Elysia, keeping Ling Xi. Normally, weekends were fine, with Seele and Ling at home, and the three of them could only do things in the evenings. But now...

After those two started school, the entire villa practically became a battlefield. Ling Xi, Elysia, and Sakura tried it out in the living room, on the sofa, in the kitchen, in the hallway, in the swimming pool, and even in Mobius's room...

Well, no matter how the three of them tried, they still couldn't connect to the WiFi next door. The network was really bad!

In the end, the three of them could only connect directly to their home network. With their phones and the network tightly connected, they were able to surf the internet for tens of thousands of seconds!

Yes, I'm sure it was just connecting to WiFi, nothing else.

Ling Xi was also quite helpless about this. Lately, for some reason, these two always seemed to be causing trouble. If it were just Elysia, it wouldn't be so bad, after all, she had a criminal record, and her personality fit that description, but...
