A Genius Girl with D-Rank Talent! / Seel Is Not Amused!

"Don't worry, that was in the past!"

Ling Xi shook his head slightly and smiled, "The mortality rate of the Hypervariable Surgery was indeed not low back then, but that was mainly because the technology was not mature enough. Now, the lowest level of super -Hypervariable Surgery almost never results in deaths!"

"Is that so..."

Felis started thinking again and asked, "Then... after joining the Flame-Chasing Moths, can I keep cats?"

"Cat?"

Ling Xi seemed somewhat puzzled.

"Eh... yes, I have a cat named Canned Food, she's always been with me, so..."

Felis stopped there, knowing that Ling Xi understood what she meant.

"In principle, there are no restrictions, but you can only keep it in your room."

Ling Xi had no objection to keeping a cat. Besides, even if there was such a rule, Ling Xi wouldn't mind making it an exception for Phyllis's sake. In short...

The most important thing right now is to get this girl to my side first. As for what happens next... we can deal with it slowly.

Chapter 409: A Genius Girl with a D-Rank Talent!

"Doctor!"

Before long, Ling Xi brought Felis to Mobius's laboratory. She had easily persuaded the girl to join the Flame-Chasing Moths, but as soon as she mentioned that she was being brought to see Mobius, she wanted to run away. After all, the rumors about Mobius... well, never mind!

However, in the end, Ling Xi still managed to drag her along, although... she didn't seem very willing.

"What's wrong?"

Mobius was conducting his own experimental tests, but when he heard Ling Xi calling him, he put down his work to keep her Ling Xi.

"Doctor, I hope you can lead a Hypervariable Surgery."

Ling Xi led Felis in, not because Ling Xi wanted to take advantage of her, but mainly because Ling Xi was afraid she would run away, since the girl seemed to have a big misunderstanding about Mobius!

"Hypervariable Surgery?"

Mobius paused for a moment, then noticed the blonde girl behind Ling Xi and asked, "Is it her?"

"Um..."

Ling Xi nodded and said, "Doctor, this is what happened, Felis yesterday..."

Ling Xi briefly explained Felis's situation, and then smiled and said, "So, I hope the Doctor can do me a favor and perform the Hypervariable Surgery on her."

"Why don't you take her to a regular operating room for the Hypervariable Surgery? After all, it's not that difficult."

After hearing Ling Xi's words, Mobius was speechless. Was it really worth coming to him for such a trivial matter? Moreover... according to Ling Xi, this girl and Ling Xi had only known each other for less than half an hour.

"Doctor, that's different."

Ling Xi said seriously, "I think Felis is Fused Warrior with relatively specific talents, which is why I brought her to find you!"

For routine Hypervariable Surgery, other researchers usually take the lead, but for top-tier Fused Warrior, it is usually performed by Mobius and Mebius themselves, since it is very important.

"Roar?"

Upon hearing Ling Xi's words, Mobius immediately became wide awake and laughed, "Alright, let's have a physical examination first. I want to see Ling Xi what you said about this Felis having top-tier talent is true."

If anyone else had said these words to Mobius, he would naturally have dismissed Mobius with disdain, but...

The one who said those words to himself was Ling Xi, and Ling Xi was a transmigrator, so... naturally, Mobius had to test him. After all, if humanity could really add another top-tier Fused Warrior, that would certainly be a good thing!

So, Mobius personally conducted a talent test on Felis, and the result...

Mobius "..."

Ling Xi "..."

Felis: "???"

"This is top-tier talent?"

Looking at the test results on the holographic image, especially the "D-level" in the fusion suggestion section, Mobius felt that Mobius Ling Xi was deliberately teasing her. Even someone as ordinary as Hua had a B-level, while a D-level...

They are the kind of Fused Warrior who are just there to make up the numbers, that is, the lowest level of Fused Warrior!

"Um... could there be a mistake in the test?"

Seeing this, Ling Xi was also a little confused. This didn't make sense. Was this girl not one of the main characters, but really just a random NPC? But...

Who could be so beautiful? With that kind of looks, she's at least a supporting actress, if not the lead actress.

Do you think it's possible?

Mobius looked at Ling Xi speechlessly. Was the machine broken?

Are you kidding me? This is the average of multiple test results, and... this machine has never made a mistake before!

"Alright, this girl's talent is only at level D, so she can only be injected with the lowest level of Hypervariable Factor. If it were a higher level, it would be harming her."

Mobius turned around and said, "Here's what we'll do. You take her to Klein and have Klein help with the Hypervariable Surgery. I'm busy right now."

Although Mobius was willing to listen to Ling Xi, Felis's talent was simply too poor, and it wasn't worth Mobius wasting several hours of his time performing the Hypervariable Surgery on her, after all...

The current procedures for Hypervariable Surgery are absolutely professional and absolutely safe, so it's already a favor that Mobius allowed Felis to go to Klein; otherwise...

Generally, people with D-level talent are all uniformly arranged to undergo Hypervariable Surgery by artificial intelligence!

"Knew..."

Ling Xi didn't say anything about it, after all... Felis's situation was really a bit awkward.

"Uh... I'm sorry, did I disappoint you?"

After leaving the lab, Felis was a little depressed. She was told she was a one-in-a-million genius, so why was her talent only D-level?

"Ha, no, talent only represents the starting point, not the achievement!"

Ling Xi smiled at Felis and said, "Besides, even D-level talents can undergo Hypervariable Surgery. At worst, they can just inject new Hypervariable Factor when they become stronger in the future."

Although Ling Xi was somewhat surprised by Felis's talent, she didn't say much. After all, she was the one who invited her, and Phyllis had given her face by agreeing. If she were to complain now, wouldn't that be going too far?

But why is this girl only ranked D? Could it be... that she's a loser in a bad story?

"Is that so... hehe."

Hearing Ling Xi's words of comfort, Felis was also slightly happy. After all... this was Ling Xi. How many people in the world could be praised by Ling Xi?

"Felis, are you still planning to undergo the Hypervariable Surgery?"

At this moment, Ling Xi asked Felis what she thought, since the girl's talent was only at the D level, Ling Xi was worried that she might refuse because of this.

"Of course I want it!"

Felis nodded without hesitation and smiled, "Since you think so highly of me, how could I refuse? Besides..."

Felis chuckled and said, "Didn't you just say that the most basic Hypervariable Surgery is not dangerous at all? On the contrary, it can enhance Honkai Energy Adaptability. So, I won't be so afraid of Honkai in the future. Only a fool would refuse such a good thing."

"You're quite clever."

Hearing Felis's answer, Ling Xi couldn't help but smile. Indeed, even if it's just a D-rank talent, it's still a talent, and...

The Flame-Chasing Moths is currently the strongest human organization, bar none, and with so many benefits to becoming Fused Warrior, therefore...

Only a fool would refuse such a good deal!

As for whether there will be any side effects later on... please, even if there are side effects later on, the premise is that you can survive to the end. And given the current world situation, how can an ordinary person survive to the end without protection?

Therefore, joining the Flame-Chasing Moths now is definitely a wise choice!

Felis, being a seasoned survivor, naturally understood this principle as well!

Chapter 410: Seele is unhappy!

Under Klein's arrangement, Felis quickly completed the Hypervariable Surgery, and the result...

Of course, it was exactly as expected. This girl's talent was D-rank, and after the combat power test, it was found that her combat power was basically at the cannon fodder level. Even among D-rank Fused Warrior, she was at the bottom.

At this point, Ling Xi realized that he must have guessed wrong. This girl wasn't some character from later in the game; she was just a random NPC!

However, the only thing that brought Ling Xi some comfort was that Felis had become a catgirl—yes, a real catgirl, with ears and a tail, and incredibly agile, although her combat power was still very weak, extremely weak...

"Sorry, it seems I've disappointed you again..."

In the afternoon, Felis looked at Ling Xi with some dejection. She already had a pretty good idea of her own situation. Although she wasn't surprised by the result, but...

The thought that Ling Xi had such high hopes for her, only to find out she was so weak, made Phyllis feel a little... In short, Felis seemed somewhat disappointed.

"Hehe, what am I disappointed about?"

Ling Xi smiled at Felis and said, "Although you're not very strong in combat, I quite like how you are now. You're so cute."

"Huh?"

Felis was momentarily stunned. Dude, aren't you taking this topic a bit too far off track?

"Alright, alright, don't be discouraged."

Ling Xi patted Felis on the shoulder and said earnestly, "After all, most people in this world are just ordinary people, like me, living a simple and uneventful life!"

Felis: "..." Do you have some misunderstanding about what "ordinary" means?

"Ling Xi?"

Just then, Seele's voice suddenly appeared, and as soon as Ling Xi turned around, a blue figure pounced into her arms. Who else could it be but Seele?

"Hey, Ling Xi, you're still waiting for us to go home together?"

Then, Elysia appeared, walking with Sakura, and said with a smile, "Today's mission is complete. If there's nothing else, we can go home now."

"You are... Elysia and Sakura, two of the three strongest humans?"

Felis recognized the two immediately.

"Um?"

Elysia noticed the cat-eared girl next to Ling Xi at this moment, silently looking at Ling Xi, and asked, "Who is this...?"

"Introduction: Pardofelis, I just became Fused Warrior this afternoon!"

Ling Xi gave a brief introduction and smiled, "However... I can only say that my talent is average."

"Oh..."

Elysia smiled and extended her hand to Felis. "Hello, Felis, it's nice to meet you."

"Yes, me too!"

Felis also seemed a little excited, "I never expected that Boss Elysia would be just as rumored, both beautiful and friendly. Am I really dreaming to meet you in person?"

"Hehe, of course."

Elysia laughed and said, "I'm the prettiest girl around Ling Xi, without a doubt."

"Yes, I agree!"

Felis readily agreed.

Ling Xi: "..." Elysia, that's enough...

"Alright, Felis, you should go report for duty first."

Ling Xi smiled directly at Felis and said, "Given your abilities, I've arranged for you to work in the logistics department. It's the kind of job where you'll be safe as long as headquarters is still around, so your safety is guaranteed!"

Finally, to prevent Felis from being sent directly to the battlefield as cannon fodder, Ling Xi used some of her authority to assign Felis to the logistics department. She wouldn't need to fight, and even if she went out occasionally, it would be to carry out delivery missions, so she would basically not encounter any danger!

After all... although there were some coincidences in the process, this girl became Fused Warrior because of her own reasons, so Ling Xi didn't want her to be sent to be cannon fodder for no reason. After all, it was he who made her Fused Warrior, so he should protect this girl a little.

"Uh... okay, got it, thanks!"

Felis instantly understood Ling Xi's meaning, gave Ling Xi a gentle hug, and smiled, "Then, I won't disturb you any longer. See you another day, Boss!"

"Um!"

Ling Xi didn't try to stop him, and said with a smile, "A lot happens at headquarters every day. If you have any questions, you can come to me anytime."
