The Fusion of Two Snakes! / Sakura Has Been Successfully Tamed...

"Even though our Stigmata have a very high ceiling, they insist on making us continue researching stability."

"Mobius's path is wrong. If it is not changed now, the future of humanity... no, then humanity has no future at all!"

Mei's research institute is home to a large number of elite scholars from around the world, and they naturally participate in Mei's Stigmata Project, but...

The message from headquarters was truly unacceptable to them. They came here with the dream of saving the world, but in the end, they became tools for some people to make money.

After seeing the sample of the perfect Stigmata Gene, they, like Mei, insisted that Stigmata was the right path!

But now...

The headquarters clearly seems to be more supportive of Mobius...

"Unfortunately, more than half of the people support Mobius, and they generally believe that the Hypervariable Surgery is more worthwhile to invest in!"

Here, there are also a few members of the Flame-Chasing Moths. They are naturally more conservative and support the Stigmata Gene. However, there is nothing they can do because of the Third and Fourth Herrscher. Currently, there are obviously more people in the Flame-Chasing Moths who support Mobius!

"Perhaps we can take some steps to let headquarters know... don't put all your eggs in one basket."

"Then what should we do?"

"Couldn't we just create a little accident? We failed back then because Ling Xi was there, but now..."

"Mobius's greatest asset, Ling Xi, has lost his ability to fight, so... we can start that plan anew!"

Chapter 305: The Fusion of Snakes!

"Shesha's genes..."

In the research institute, Mobius had completed the factorization of the Sasha Gene, and the activation condition was set at around 800 HW, but...

The research institute doesn't have any suitable test subjects right now. Elysia is definitely not an option. That girl's Honkai Energy Adaptability has already exceeded 1500HW. Currently, she needs to charge up with Ling Xi almost ten times to increase her strength even a little bit!

Of course, the most crucial point is that I don't know if there will be any conflict between the Hypervariable Factor and the Stigmata, and I absolutely cannot perform the Hypervariable Surgery on Elysia until I figure this out.

As for Sakura, her Honkai Energy Adaptability stagnated after Ling Xi boosted it to around 1200 HW, similar to Elysia's situation. On average, it took ten enhancements to increase the value by just one point. So...

Sakura also received the Stigmata Gene implantation, which directly boosted her Honkai Energy Adaptability to 1480HW, almost matching Elysia's maximum. Therefore...

This indirectly proves that the Stigmata Gene and Ling Xi's enhancement seem to occur in equal order, anyway...

The upper limit is around 1500HW. Beyond this value, the effects of either the Stigmata Gene or Ling Xi's help become very weak.

Therefore, neither Elysia nor Sakura are suitable to undergo the Hypervariable Surgery at this time, as they are both Stigmata Warrior have fused with the perfect Stigmata!

And in the entire research institute... no, it should be said that in the whole world, there seems to be only one person who has neither undergone Hypervariable Surgery nor been implanted with the Stigmata Gene, and whose Honkai Energy Adaptability exceeds 800HW!

"Whoosh..."

Mobius glanced at the Hypervariable Factor in her hand, pondering whether she should give it a try. Of course, she was very confident in her results, and besides, her current 800HW Honkai Energy Adaptability wasn't something to be taken lightly. Finally...

If any anomalies do occur, I can extract a portion of Sasha Gene with Klein's help. The only consequences will be some long-term effects. So...

"Doctor, isn't this... a bit too risky?"

Klein was also there at this time. After all, as Mobius's most important assistant, Mobius naturally had to bring her along when conducting experiments of this level.

"Hehe, what experiment doesn't involve risks?"

Mobius simply smiled and said, "Besides, I have a lot of confidence in this Hypervariable Factor. Even if the fusion fails in the end, my life will not be in danger."

"Doctor, actually... I can take your place in the experiments."

After hesitating for a moment, Klein said seriously, "Doctor, you are more important. You shouldn't joke with your life."

"Ah, Klein, if..."

Mobius smiled slightly and asked, "How can a scientist who doesn't even have confidence in herself gain the trust of others? Besides... Klein, your Honkai Energy is based on Shesha's genes of the gender adaptation theory, which can't even withstand a 100HW level of Hypervariable Factor, right?"

"This..."

Well, Klein somewhat speechless, because...

Mobius's words were true. Shesha's Hypervariable Factor wasn't something that could be withstood with mere courage; it required a sufficiently high level of Honkai Energy Adaptability, and he himself...

Clearly, this is far from enough.

"Alright, Klein, let's begin the experiment."

After making up his mind, Mobius urged Klein on, saying with a smile, "You already know the steps very well. If anything unexpected happens, just follow the plan and call Ling Xi over immediately."

"Doctor, shouldn't you call Ling Xi over first before conducting the experiment?"

Klein complain, "We knew there was danger, and we knew we should call Ling Xi if something went wrong, but why didn't we call Ling Xi first?"

"Heh, because that guy definitely won't let me do this experiment."

Mobius didn't hide anything from Klein, laughing, "So, I can only do it when he's not around. Besides... this mere ten kilometers is nothing to that guy, just a matter of minutes!"

Mobius was well aware of Ling Xi's spatial abilities, often sneaking out for shopping with Elysia and Seele, and even releasing them continuously, so...

If Ling Xi really needed to, he could get to the research institute in almost ten seconds, although... it would consume a lot of energy.

"Okay, Doctor..."

In the end, Klein had no choice but to compromise. After all, as an assistant, trusting his Doctor was a basic principle!

So, Klein silently injected Shesha's Hypervariable Factor into Mobius's body, but...

Nothing happened, because the Hypervariable Factor is a dormant gene. Before it is activated, apart from the possibility of an allergic reaction, almost nothing will happen!

Of course, this applies to genes of ordinary Honkai Energy. But what if something else happens with Shesha's genes?

"Looks like it hasn't been activated yet..."

Half a minute later, Mobius smiled and said, "Klein, you can go out now. Remember to check on my condition."

"Yes, please be careful, Doctor."

Klein knew what Mobius wanted to do, and without lingering, he silently left the isolation room.

"Call..."

After taking a deep breath, Mobius directly activated his own Honkai Energy, intending to forcibly activate the Hypervariable Factor in order to complete the evolution of the Fused Warrior!

However, no matter how hard Mobius tried, the Hypervariable Factor remained unmoved. Even when she fully activated the Honkai Energy, releasing 800 HW of Honkai Energy, she still couldn't activate the Hypervariable Factor...

Mobius: "..." It seems... the plan has encountered a slight problem...

Mobius's original plan was to inject the Hypervariable Factor and then forcibly activate it himself, but...

This Hypervariable Factor seems to be acting uncooperatively. I clearly set the threshold to 800HW, but even after using 800HW of Honkai Energy, it still can't be activated. Anyway...

"Klein, let's go to the training grounds..."

After hesitating for a moment, Mobius decided to find another way. Since he couldn't activate it directly, he could activate it through combat, right?

After all, more than half of the Fused Warrior he created were activated during training!

So, in the following period, Mobius led Klein in various experiments to try to activate the Hypervariable Factor, but no matter how hard he tried, Shesha's Hypervariable Factor remained as still as a mountain, extremely stable!

In the end, Mobius had no choice but to give up for the time being; at worst...

If I work a little harder recently, I can help Ling Xi increase her Honkai Energy Adaptability to 1000HW as soon as possible. At that time, she should be able to activate the Hypervariable Factor very stably, right?

Of course, there is another way, which is...

If Ling Xi were to unleash an attack on me with more than 1000 HW of energy, it might be possible to forcibly activate the Hypervariable Factor. However... doing so would be quite risky!

Through the experiments with those Fused Warriors, Mobius realized that self-activation had a much higher success rate than forced activation; in short...

Honkai Energy Adaptability enough!

Therefore, even though Mobius was very confident in his results, he still had to play it safe when necessary!

Chapter 306: The Successfully Tamed Cherry Blossom...

"Doctor, you're back so early today?"

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Xi was taking a walk with Elysia in the yard when she saw Mobius drive back with Sakura.

"Well, there aren't many experiments today, so I'll leave them to Klein and the others."

Mobius chuckled casually and then said, "I'm going back to my room to rest for a while. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Yes, Doctor."

Ling Xi nodded slightly to indicate that she understood.

Afterwards, Mobius went straight back to her room to rest. For some reason, after injecting the Hypervariable Factor, she felt sleepy and had no energy to do any other experiments, which is why Mobius came back so early.

"Ling Xi, I'm a little tired today, so I'm going to rest first..."

Shortly after dinner, Mobius yawned and said she was going back to her room to rest. To avoid Ling Xi misunderstanding, she added with a smile, "I really am resting, so please don't bother me."

"Uh... I understand, Doctor!"

Seeing that Mobius seemed genuinely tired, how could Ling Xi possibly disturb her? However, she also harbored some curiosity, after all...

The Doctor is usually so energetic, and he'll complete his daily tasks even when he's exhausted, all in his pursuit of becoming stronger. But today...

I don't know how to describe it, but I just feel that the Doctor is a bit strange.

"Ugh, it's so hot..."

On the other side of her outfit, Elysia wore a loose short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt, with no socks or anything else on her body, giving her a very cool and casual look. Even so, she still had some beads of sweat on her body.

"Turn on the air conditioner."

Ling Xi made a simple swipe in the air to bring up the control interface, preparing to turn on the air conditioner.

"No need, the air conditioner smells bad."

Elysia stretched and hugged Ling Xi, chuckling, "It's more comfortable hugging you, Bing Bing and refreshing... Hmm, is this also the effect of Shesha?"

"I think so..."

On the other side, Sakura also silently hugged Ling Xi. There was no other reason than that hugging Ling Xi was just too comfortable. At this time, it was March, which was about one of the two hottest seasons of the year for the capital of the Mu Continent!

Thanks to the high altitude of the capital of the Mu Continent, the climate is not too hot.

Normally, I would definitely turn on the air conditioner, but...

Elysia and Sakura discovered a new way to use Ling Xi: as a body pillow!

For some reason, Ling Xi's body temperature was normal when checked, but when I held her, the temperature always remained at the most comfortable temperature for the human body. In other words, it was warm in winter and cool in summer!

Ling Xi "..."

What could Ling Xi say about this? After all, she's his wife; if he likes to hug her, so be it.

However, this should indeed be the effect of the Sasha Gene. In any case, it seems that only a tiny fraction of the secrets in this gene have been revealed so far.

"Ling Xi ..."

Suddenly, Elysia called out to Ling Xi in a slightly coquettish voice, while smiling, "Hehe, should we rest early today? Or should we rest early? Or... should we rest early?"

"If you want to rest, you can do it now."

Ling Xi also smiled and looked at Elysia.

Since these two have almost reached their limit in Honkai Energy Adaptability, some things aren't as crazy as before, but they still prefer to be alone, whether it's asking someone for help or resting at night, it seems...

It's become a habit.

"That's so boring, at least..."

Elysia smiled and took out her phone. "Want to play a couple of Battle Royale before you rest?"

"Want to Battle Royale? Count me in!"

Sakura immediately sat up with her phone in hand. "Battle Royale? If you're talking about that, I'm not sleepy anymore."

Ling Xi "..."

Ling Xi flipped over and kissed Ying. As for why it was Ying, don't ask. It was just a matter of whim!

Cherry"???"

It seems I misunderstood...

Oh well, let's just go with the flow. I like it anyway.

Although he didn't actually need to come see Ling Xi every day anymore now that his Honkai Energy Adaptability had almost stopped increasing, the three months of spending every day together had already formed a habit, and...

She found that even if it didn't increase her Honkai Energy Adaptability, she felt like she couldn't live without Ling Xi anymore. Anyway... if it was just a day or two, she could just bear it, but if it was more than a few days, she would feel very uncomfortable and have a lot of mixed feelings. She felt like a million ants were crawling all over her body!
