The Rich Lady's Final Concert! / Even Rich Ladies Need a Helping Hand!

Looking at the defeated Seele, Ling Xi revealed a smug smile on her face!

Seele: "..." Why do I have such a bad feeling...?

"Hmph, I know..."

However, Seele wouldn't cheat in a small game.

"Whoosh..."

So, Seele took a deep breath, then sat on the edge of the bed, silently watching Ling Xi, and at the same time, the one-minute countdown began...

"Seele, if you move, then we'll have to add more time."

Seeing that Seele was already in the mood, Ling Xi naturally followed suit, gently kissing Seele...

Seele: "???" You motherfucker...

Seele suddenly wanted to curse. This guy could kiss her anytime he wanted, why did he have to...?

However, Seele had clearly guessed Ling Xi's scheme. This guy was definitely trying to trick her, making her move around, so she would have more time, and then he could act even more recklessly. So...

I'll endure it...

"Oh?"

Seeing that Seele was indeed as firm as a rock and didn't budge at all, Ling Xi was also a little surprised. This girl... has some backbone!

However, what I like is a girl with backbone.

"Oh..."

Seeing this, Ling Xi decisively intensified his efforts to cause trouble. After all, before Seele's transformation into a herald, he had spent nearly two months in Wang Yuan, so Ling Xi naturally knew exactly where Seele's weaknesses lay. Thus...

Ling Xi pointed to the moon with her left hand, took the red thread with her right, climbed Mount Everest (8,000 meters high), explored the Mariana Trench (10,000 meters deep), and finally...

"Mmm..."

At that moment, Seele finally couldn't help but let out a soft hum...

"You..."

After her composure was broken, Seele felt extremely frustrated. This guy, is he even playing like this? It's simply too much.

"Seele ..."

However, Ling Xi didn't explain, and continued kissing Seele, then whispered with a smile, "Seele, we're adding another minute to your punishment time. If you keep moving around, we'll add more..."

Seele "..."

At this moment, Seele didn't want to talk anymore, because she seemed to have understood something. This guy... has he finally decided to start eating?

So, Seele cooperated very well, and even... her body seemed to have an instinct? For example, when Ling Xi asked her to pose, she actually knew how without being taught?

Wait a minute, something's not right. This is clearly my first time, so why am I having this kind of conditioned reflex?

In the end, while Seele was still a little confused, Ling Xi speed-completed the second playthrough for her!

In Ling Xi's view, the only regret was that when Seele's time was reset, it seemed that everything was reset as well, resulting in Seele's combat power being relatively weak tonight and unable to withstand all the side effects.

It seems we need to arrange the joint operation tomorrow. As usual, I'll go find Elysia; it's not the first time that girl has done this.

Achoo...

At the same time, Elysia next door sneezed...

The next day, Ling Xi brought Seele to the research institute, and then Mobius also asked Klein to conduct a comprehensive physical examination on Seele, especially... that kind of physical examination!

However, nothing seemed to be found, but this was not surprising. After all, it takes at least two days from infection to detection, even with scientific instruments, and even longer to be completely certain!

Mobius's purpose in testing Seele at this time was merely to see if there would be any changes in Seele, but clearly, there were no changes...

After a week of hard work by Ling Xi, on the eighth day, Mobius finally... still found nothing, and Seele showed absolutely no reaction.

Well, that's normal. After all, for someone to fall for the trap, besides certain coincidences, there's another essential condition: Seele's body must be in a state where she can be affected. Otherwise, even if Ling Xi is completely drained, Seele won't react at all. So...

We can wait a little longer...

One month later...

Seeing Seele still unresponsive, Mobius was also somewhat bewildered. What... what's going on? Why isn't this what we agreed on? It's been a month! With Seele being... cough coughed every day, shouldn't she have some reaction by now?

But that's the reality; no matter how hard Ling Xi tried, Seele still didn't react at all...

Mobius began to suspect that something had changed about Seele, or perhaps... the last time really was just a coincidence. After all, Ling Xi was a transmigrator from another world, so it was normal for her to be somewhat different from the people of her native world. Therefore...

Maybe it was just a coincidence that Seele was able to get infected last time?

Two months later, after discovering that Seele hadn't undergone any Herrscher transformation, Ling Xi and Mobius were completely relieved. It seemed that while He reset Seele's time, He hadn't reset the Sixth Herrscher's time, so...

At this point, Seele was completely a normal human being!

Of course, that's not entirely accurate, because when Mobius tested Seele on the Death Herrscher Core, he discovered that Seele had an almost perfect adaptability to the Death Herrscher Core. It was almost as if if Seele were given the Death Herrscher Core, Seele could immediately use it at will!

Most importantly, Seele will not be controlled by the Death Herrscher Core, which means that Seele can perfectly exert the power of the Death Herrscher Core while maintaining her original consciousness!

Therefore, although Seele is human, she is also the prototype of the Sixth Herrscher. Whenever needed, Seele can participate in the battle as a Herrscher on the human side!

Of course, Ling Xi would never agree to let Seele take the Death Herrscher Core to the battlefield, not only for Seele's safety, but also because...

Ling Xi didn't want Seele to fight for so-called humans, after all... wasn't that just being a masochist?

As for the issue of Seele getting infected, after studying it for two months, Mobius basically gave up, because Seele didn't get infected even though Seele didn't change at all, which almost proves that Seele's last time was just a coincidence, not inevitable!

Of course, there's another possibility: that Seele isn't Herrscher anymore, which is why...

However, this speculation has no basis, since the Herrscher mainly changes consciousness, while the body remains completely unchanged.

To verify this hypothesis, we'd probably have to find the next Herrscher to test it. And the only Herrscher we can be sure of right now is Rin, so...

Bang! The door opens, Flame-Chasing Moths!

Chapter 369: The Rich Woman's Last Concert!

Time passed day by day, and during these two months, Mobius and May resumed their joint research on the Stigmata Gene, but...

When the Stigmata Gene reaches 200HW, the genes in the Stigmata Gene will begin to mutate. As a result, the success rate of Stigmata Gene below 200HW is very high, but for those above 200HW, none of the volunteers who participated in the experiment survived!

Either they cannot withstand such powerful forces and their bodies collapse, or Honkai Energy in the Stigmata Gene and become Dishi. In short, the index of 200HW is like a hurdle in the Stigmata Gene. If you are below this point, you will be safe. If you try to surpass it, the ending will be destined to fail.

After numerous studies and discussions between Mobius and Mei, coupled with the immense pressure brought by the Honkai, Mei finally decided to temporarily set aside the Stigmata Gene and turn her attention to researching the Hypervariable Factor. After all, Mobius had successfully created more than one hundred Fused Warrior with adaptability exceeding 500HW by continuously improving the Hypervariable Factor.

So...

The plum actually smelled really good in the end...

During this period, many new people also came to the research institute. Kevin's close friend Su, Himiko and Hua from the original fifth squad of the headquarters, and Einstein, who had talked to Ling Xi about combat robots, all joined Mobius's laboratory.

"Eden's concert?"

At home, Ling Xi looked somewhat bewildered as she saw the concert tickets handed to her by Seele.

"Yeah, Klein gave it to me. How about we go see it together sometime?"

Seele looked at Ling Xi with anticipation, seemingly very eager to go to Eden's concert with Ling Xi.

"Um... I have no problem with going with Seele, but..."

Ling Xi asked with some confusion, "I remember the Doctor said that all offline cultural and entertainment activities were to be suspended, so why is Eden still able to hold a concert?"

Since Mobius's new policy was issued, all offline cultural and entertainment activities have been ordered to stop. The only entertainment options now available are the TV movies that were previously filmed, as well as online games, and even those are being reduced!

So, it was quite unexpected for Ling Xi that Eden was able to hold a concert at this time!

"Because this is a benefit performance."

At this moment, Elysia spoke up, smiling slightly, "Just a few days ago, Eden came to our research institute, seemingly to see Mobius about something. I happened to be there at the time, so I know some of the details."

"Really? Then Elysia, you tell me."

Hearing Elysia say that she knew, Ling Xi looked over curiously, intending to listen carefully to what Eden was really up to.

"Actually, there's not much to say. After all, human society has entered a critical period, so stopping all unnecessary projects is a decision that aligns with the interests of all humanity. As for Eden..."

Elysia shrugged and smiled, "This time, she plans to self-fund a five-show global tour, which will also be her last performance as a farewell to humanity and the last time she will use music to cleanse the soul."

"Because Eden planned to hold a benefit performance entirely at her own expense, and..."

Elysia couldn't help but laugh. "She also said she would donate half of her personal assets to the Flame-Chasing Moths free of charge, so Mobius agreed. After all, no matter what, if the situation continues to deteriorate, then... this may really be the last performance in human history."

"Is that so..."

After listening to Elysia's explanation, Ling Xi nodded thoughtfully. It was a performance that was entirely self-funded, and... given Eden's reputation and the current era, it wasn't surprising that Mobius would agree.

"And what about this ticket?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ling Xi looked at the ticket that Seele handed her.

"Of course it was sent by Eden."

Elysia continued with a smile, "Eden's performance on the Mu Continent is being held in the capital's largest stadium, which can hold 180,000 spectators, so there are about 180,000 tickets. Eden sent about 3,000 tickets to our lab, and as for the rest..."

"They are all sold locally in the Mu Continent, and the price is only a symbolic one yuan!"

"One dollar..."

Upon hearing this answer, Ling Xi fully understood Eden's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh, then smiled and said, "It can only be said that she truly loves music, so she intends to say goodbye to people in this way!"

"Yes!"

Sakura couldn't help but nod and said, "Even if all the tickets are sold out at one yuan, it probably wouldn't even cover the cost of a single speaker. She really loves music."

At this point, no one doubted Eden's motives, nor did anyone think that Eden was after money, because...

This round of global concerts was entirely funded by Eden. The cost of just one concert, including the venue, and given the extremely unusual circumstances, therefore...

A concert costs at least ten small goals, and the money earned...

Just as Sakura said, it's really not even enough to buy a sound system!

Eden plans to hold five concerts of this scale worldwide, which is... well...

Rich woman, I'm starving, time for food!

"Shall we go to the concert?"

Elysia also took the opportunity to ask Ling Xi with a smile.

"Of course I'm going, no doubt about it."

Ling Xi laughed without hesitation, "The last time I was in person at Eden's concert was when I was in Changkong City. Seele and the Doctor accompanied me then, so... no matter what kind of concert Eden is having this time, I, Ling Xi, will definitely show my support!"

Thinking of this, Ling Xi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. From the near-outbreak of bloody battles to the current ability to fight together, so much has happened in the past year!

"A concert in Changkong City...?"

Speaking of this, Sakura seemed to be lost in memories as well, and smiled and said, "Ling Xi, do you remember that we met after that concert in Changkong City? You saved Ling back then, and that's where we officially met."

"That's true, but..."

Ling Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "We really got to know each other a little over a month later. It seems you sneaked into my room back then."

"Eek... Hehe, it's all in the past now."

Speaking of this, Sakura was a little embarrassed. After all, she had originally gone to kill Ling Xi, but after seeing Ling Xi, she immediately switched sides and is now even Ling Xi's wife...

All I can say is that fate is truly wondrous!

If Ling Xi hadn't saved Ling back then, I might have killed Ling Xi on that occasion... although judging from what happened afterward, I would most likely have been the one to be killed instead...

In short, life is pretty good now, and it would be fine if it continued like this forever. Hmm... perhaps I should really hope it continues like this forever!

Chapter 370: Even rich women need financial assistance!

Two days later, Ling Xi led everyone to the stadium in the capital to support Eden's concert!

This time, nearly half of the institute's staff came. Although Mobius was quite busy, he still managed to take a few hours after dinner to accompany Ling Xi to the concert. As for their seats...
