The First Snow on the Mu Continent... / This Time, the Advantage Is Truly Mine!

Mobius yawned and laughed, "Didn't you complain about the heat a few days ago? It seems the heavens heard your complaints."

"Hmm, a drop in temperature is a good thing, but it feels like the drop is a bit too big..."

Elysia pursed her lips, then took out her phone to check it, and snorted, "Last night's weather forecast said it would be at least another two weeks before it got cold, but I didn't expect it to suddenly cool down today. The temperature is only ten degrees now."

"That's normal, after all, that's how the climate is in the capital of the Mu Continent."

As Mobius spoke, he began to put on his own clothes. Luckily, Ling Xi had mentioned yesterday that she would buy several sets of clothes for different age groups, otherwise he would probably have to wear Seele's clothes again.

"Oh well, it's not a bad thing to be a little cooler..."

Elysia just smiled, then got out of bed and dressed with Mobius.

"I said, can you all please be quiet..."

At this moment, Ling Xi also woke up and was speechless when she saw the two of them getting up so early in the morning, especially... Dr. Mobius, who went to bed so late last night, why is he getting up so early?

Hmm... Don't ask, it's just Shesha's genes.

"You should get up too, you lazybones."

Elysia smiled and looked at Ling Xi, saying happily, "Today is such a nice day, it's quite cool. Let's go to the research institute first, and then go out and play until... 5 pm, and then pick up Seele."

"Haaaaaah..."

Ling Xi sat up while yawning, and then felt a chill. However... in summer, such weather is definitely a rare and precious thing.

After breakfast, the four of them went to the research institute again and carried out the routine Honkai Energy Adaptability test. As expected, Elysia and Sakura each increased by a little, while Mobius remained exactly the same as yesterday, with the data remaining unchanged at 1800HW!

Last night, the two exchanged over fifteen rounds, therefore...

Mobius also roughly concluded that, at least for now, 1800HW is the upper limit that Ling Xi can help increase!

As for whether the limit can be made up for in the future, we'll have to wait and see. Maybe... a dozen or a hundred more times can increase it a little.

After the Honkai Energy Adaptability test ended, Elysia immediately dragged Ling Xi out, saying they were going shopping. Sakura wanted to go too, but considering recent events, she stayed behind. Although Mobius's absolute strength was probably greater than hers now, but...

In actual combat, I am certain that I can defeat Mobius. After all, Mobius is all show and no substance, but he doesn't know how to use it. His main profession is as a scientist, so he has virtually no training or combat experience.

So, starting today, Sakura won't be as negligent as before, after all...

The enemy still exists.

"Elysia, where do you want to go?"

After following Elysia out, Ling Xi glanced at her curiously. Although Ling Xi felt that now was not the time to play, it was Elysia's idea after all, so Ling Xi decided to satisfy her first.

"Idiot, you really think I'm planning to take you out for fun?"

Mobius gave Ling Xi a disapproving look and laughed, "Have you forgotten what your Doctor told you about the research institute yesterday?"

"You mean this? Of course I haven't forgotten, but..."

Ling Xi looked at Elysia with some curiosity and smiled, "But didn't the Doctor ask you and Sakura to investigate? After all, I'm not good at this kind of thing. What if I alert them and end up making things worse?"

Clearly, Ling Xi was quite aware of her own abilities.

"Idiot, don't you have Space Core?"

Elysia said irritably, "Why don't we just use the power of the Space Core to infiltrate the research institute and look for clues?"

"I don't think that will work..."

Ling Xi shook his head and said, "First, using the Space Core to open a spatial wormhole consumes a lot of energy. Second, when using a spatial wormhole, whether at the starting point or the destination, a large amount of Honkai Energy is released. And nowadays, most research institutes have Honkai Energy monitoring devices, so..."

"If we use a space wormhole to infiltrate and investigate, it will most likely trigger the Honkai Energy alarm."

"Hmm... I see."

Elysia nodded thoughtfully. If that was the case, it was indeed a bit difficult to handle. Finally, Elysia pouted and looked at Ling Xi with disdain, "Fine, then you can play by yourself. I have to go take care of some important things. Bye..."

With that, Elysia vanished, leaving Ling Xi standing there speechless.

Ling Xi: "..." Does it have to be this real?

However, Ling Xi understood what Elysia had gone to do. It was just a pity that such good weather, which was perfect for a date, was wasted. So, she would spend more time with that girl later.

"Thank you for your hard work, Elysia. I'll definitely make it up to you in the future!"

"Ling Xi, I miss you so much!"

In the evening, at the school gate, Seele happily hugged Ling Xi. It was finally Friday again, and she could go home for two more days!

"Yes, I miss you too."

Ling Xi ruffled Seele's hair and smiled, "Let's go home first. By the way, Seele, are you hungry? Do you want to buy something to eat?"

"Okay!"

Seele wasn't going to stand on ceremony with Ling Xi. Besides, she'd been cooped up at school for a week, and now that she was finally free, she had to go out and explore.

So, Ling Xi took Seele for a short stroll around the city, bought some things Seele liked, and finally took Seele home.

As for the night... it'll still be the Three Heroes battling Lü Bu, right? For the sake of the Doctor's experiment, I... will do my duty without hesitation!

However, Ling Xi somewhat regretted what she had promised Elysia yesterday, namely... whether or not to support her becoming Fused Warrior, after all...

The Doctor is already a bit difficult to deal with, let alone Elysia and Sakura...

Well, for Elysia's safety, I'll let Elysia undergo the Hypervariable Surgery later!

Chapter 317: The First Snowfall on the Continent of Mu...

Wow, snow! It's snowing!

The next day, seeing everything outside the window in white, Elysia was clearly very surprised.

"It's snowing on the Mu Continent..."

Mobius, standing to the side, also looked quite surprised, because...

Almost 90% of the Mu Continent is located in the tropics, while the capital city is situated at the boundary between the tropics and temperate zones. The lowest temperature throughout the year is rarely below ten degrees Celsius, and it is often accompanied by typhoons.

As for snowfall, it has indeed occurred once in the recorded history of the capital of the Mu Continent, but that was during a cold wave more than two hundred years ago, and at that time it only snowed lightly. But now...

There's already at least five centimeters of snow outside; enough to build a snowman.

"I never expected to see snow on the Mu Continent..."

Seele was quite excited to see the snow. Although it snows almost every year in her hometown of Estonia, seeing snow in a tropical region is indeed a rare thing. After all, generally speaking, if you want to see snow in a tropical region, you can only do so on snow-capped mountains.

"Doctor ..."

At this moment, Klein also walked over and said, "According to intelligence, it has snowed within a radius of about 2,500 kilometers, centered on Sim City, a city 1,500 kilometers down from our capital, and..."

"The average snow depth in Sim City has reached 50 centimeters, and in some areas it has even exceeded one meter."

"Sim City?"

Mobius paused for a moment, then asked, "Isn't that a true tropical city where the temperature is always above 25 degrees Celsius? How come it's snowing?"

"The cause is currently under investigation."

Klein, while looking at the information on his phone, said, "However, we can rule out the influence of typhoons and cold waves. There's no sign of either yet, and... according to the weather forecast from two days ago, these days should be the hot, dry season on the Mu Continent, but..."

"Starting from the night before last, which was early yesterday morning, the entire Mu Continent was affected by an unknown reason, causing the temperature to drop sharply. The reason why it suddenly became cool yesterday is also due to this reason."

"This..."

After listening to Klein's report, Mobius frowned again, because... this was clearly not normal weather.

"Could it be..."

Elysia said in an exaggerated tone, "Is this the legendary snow in June?"

Ling Xi "..."

"Ahem, it's only March!"

Ling Xi looked at Elysia speechlessly. "Snow has fallen in June!"

However, March, if you count it this way, it's been a whole year since I came into this world, and so much has happened in this year!

First of all, he now has three... if we include Hua, there are four Flame-Chasing Moths around him. As for Kevin, he is still staying by Mei's side as always!

Secondly, he has gone from having to hide to becoming the strongest fighting force in all of humanity. Although he still wants to hide, no matter how strong he becomes, he will never be a match for the Herrscher of Finality!

You know, whether it was the Herrscher of Wind last time or the Herrscher of Thunder the time before that, I almost messed up.

Something's not right...

At this moment, Mobius also realized something and looked directly at Ling Xi, asking, "Ling Xi, do you still remember the hurricane in Oceania before the Herrscher of Wind appeared?"

"I remember, I said back then that it couldn't possibly be before the Herrscher of Wind appeared... um?"

Ling Xi immediately realized something, because... the Fifth Herrscher was the Herrscher of Ice!

Meanwhile, snow fell on the Mu Continent.

"Doctor, you mean... the Herrscher of Ice?"

Ling Xi hadn't realized it yet, but after Mobius's reminder, he instantly became aware of the problem.

"Hmm... It seems that the Fifth Herrscher has already appeared or... is about to appear."

Mobius nodded slightly. At this point, she was basically certain of her guess. After all, the entire continent of the Mu Continent was experiencing a drop in temperature and snowfall. Apart from the power of the Herrscher, Mobius couldn't think of any other possibility.

"The Herrscher of Ice?"

Upon hearing Mobius and Ling Xi's conversation, Elysia instantly realized the problem. After all, before the Herrscher of Wind appeared, Oceania had always been plagued by hurricanes, which was quite similar to the current situation!

"I can't be completely sure, but it's pretty much a done deal."

Mobius immediately said, "Klein, convene an emergency meeting in my name immediately, in five minutes!"

Without any hesitation, after realizing the seriousness of the problem, Mobius decisively decided to hold an emergency meeting. Since there was a holographic imaging system in the underground laboratory, there was no need to go to the research institute; the meeting could be conducted at home.

"Yes, Doctor!"

Klein nodded and immediately went to make preparations.

"Doctor, is another emergency meeting being held?"

Ling Xi looked at Mobius with some worry. Ling Xi some unpleasant memories of such emergency meetings; after all, the emergency meeting before the Herrscher of Wind appeared had almost given Ling Xi high blood pressure. So...

Who knows if this will happen again this time?

"Don't worry, the situation like last time shouldn't happen again."

Mobius smiled and said, "Last time, it happened because they knew you were their last stronghold, and my authority wasn't strong enough. But this time..."

Mobius shrugged and laughed, "This time you've 'lost' all your power, and having learned your lesson last time, they should take this more seriously."

"Um... okay."

Ling Xi couldn't refute this, so she silently nodded.

"What if it's the same as last time?"

Elysia, however, asked another question out of curiosity.

"Then I'll resign."

Mobius shrugged and said irritably, "If this meeting goes like the last one, I'll just quit and lie down."

Ling Xi was speechless. She didn't know anything else, but she knew that if Mobius was incapacitated, then humanity would basically be incapacitated as well.

Afterwards, Mobius went to hold an emergency meeting. Fortunately, although most of the higher-ups of the Flame-Chasing Moths were rather foolish, they learned from the previous lesson and decided to take some measures this time to deal with the possible emergence of the Fifth Herrscher!

After all, Mobius had already stated that the Fifth Herrscher was the Herrscher of Ice, and this heavy snowfall undoubtedly further confirmed Mobius's statement!

However, they started arguing again about whether to carry out a large-scale evacuation of the people, after all...

The Mu Continent has nearly 1.7 billion people, roughly one-sixth of the global population. This recent heavy snowfall has blanketed 30% of the Mu Continent's territory, and this 30% includes half of the Mu Continent's major cities and economic centers. Therefore...

A large-scale evacuation would have a very significant impact!

Chapter 318: This time, the advantage is truly in my hands!

"Doctor, the Herrscher of Ice should be very difficult to deal with."

Inside the research institute, Ling Xi was still chatting with Mobius about the Herrscher. Having learned from the experience of the first Herrscher of Ice, Ling Xi would never underestimate any Herrscher again!
