Ling Xi laughed arrogantly, "Do you think I would need to lie like this if I wanted to bully you?"

"Eh..."

Upon hearing this, Danzhu seemed unsure how to refute it, and could only scoff, "That only proves that you haven't gotten my body enough, you also want my heart."

"I see... Hmph..."

Ling Xi crossed her arms and said with a wicked smile, "Then I'm sorry, because what I want is you as a person, not your heart."

Danzhu "..."

"Alright, little sister, stop arguing with Ling Xi. It's true."

Cangxuan looked at his hand and said, "Otherwise, do you think Elysia, Sakura, and even our Doctor improved their Honkai Energy Adaptability back then? It was thanks to this guy's power."

"Eh..."

Actually, Danzhu hadn't really doubted Ling Xi's words, but now that her sister had said so, it meant...

This is definitely true.

Although Danzhu was happy to be able to enhance Honkai Energy Adaptability, something still felt off, especially Ling Xi's mana replenishment setting, which seemed familiar to her in a doujinshi just a few days ago...

"Little sister, you still don't believe me."

At this point, Cangxuan chuckled and said, "Do you remember when we were at the Mu Continent Research Institute, I treated you to a cup of milk tea one day, and your Honkai Energy Adaptability increased by five points?"

"Puff..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xi immediately spat out, "Holy crap, five o'clock?"

Didn't you say last time it was just a drop or two? This is five o'clock, are you sure there's nothing wrong with the milk tea you served Danzhu?

"You remember?"

Danzhu's eyes lit up immediately, and she laughed, "Back then, my sister said it was a special energy liquid developed by the Doctor. Could it be related to Ling Xi...?"

At this point, Danzhu seemed to realize something and stared at Cangxuan in disbelief.

"Sister, you wouldn't be..."

Immediately, Danzhu's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Cangxuan.

Although this kind of thing is nothing compared to my current relationship with Ling Xi, it turns out that I was already outmaneuvered by my older sister.

"Hey... hehe, don't be like that, little sister, I drank some too."

Seeing that Danzhu seemed a little angry, Cangxuan quickly explained, "After all, when conducting an experiment, if it's just one person, there might be a survivor bias effect, so I asked you to come along. Besides..."

Cangxuan smiled slightly and said, "Didn't you drink a lot of milk tea half a month ago? I only added a drop or two to it for you back then."

"Elder sister!"

Danzhu pounced directly on Cangxuan, as if to say, "I'm going to take you down with me."

"Stop it, you idiot, Ling Xi, stop watching!"

Cangxuan clearly didn't want to play around with Danzhu. After all, he had been subjected to all sorts of training by a certain bastard this afternoon, and his body was still a little sore. He didn't have the time to play around with Danzhu.

"Alright, alright, Danzhu, don't be angry."

Ling Xi quickly picked up Danzhu and said with a smile, "After all, your sister did it to enhance your Honkai Energy Adaptability, right? Her intentions were good."

"Get out of here! You're no better than me!"

Danzhu glared at Ling Xi again and snorted, "You all knew about this a long time ago, so why did you only tell me now? Why did you... sigh..."

At this point, Danzhu seemed a little aggrieved. "Why didn't you tell me back then? If you had told me earlier, I... you bastard, you bastard, you bastard!"

Danzhu gently patted Ling Xi's chest with her little fists, looking as if she had suffered a great injustice...

"Feel sorry..."

Faced with Danzhu at this moment, all Ling Xi could say was an apology, perhaps...

I should have dealt with them a long time ago. That way, they wouldn't have been worried about Project Fireseed, and...

If it weren't for such a huge error when I returned, I might never have seen them again!

Chapter 504: Let's continue to enhance Honkai Energy tonight.

Fortunately, Danzhu's temper flared up and subsided quickly. After being comforted by Ling Xi for a few words, she stopped being angry. Although she was still somewhat resentful about what Cangxuan had done back then, she thought to herself, "I knew it! How could my troublesome older sister suddenly be so kind as to invite me for milk tea..."

"Ling Xi, when can we inject the Hypervariable Factor?"

Although Danzhu still wanted to complain about this setting, she was very concerned about the fact that it could enhance Honkai Energy, because... it meant that she and her sister could live on like Ling Xi and Hua, and the future...

Thinking of this, Danzhu instantly became happy. After all, how could she not be happy when she encountered such a good thing!

So now there's only one question: when will my sister and I be able to use the Hypervariable Factor?

"It depends on the situation."

Ling Xi calmly said, "Back then, when I still had the side effects of Shesha, I did manage to increase Elysia and Sakura's stats by more than 400 points within a month. But now that the Doctor has suppressed the side effects of Shesha in my body, I probably won't be able to replicate that situation again."

"Four hundred points..."

Danzhu stroked his chin, pondering for a moment, and said, "I remember that to inject elite-level Hypervariable Factor with absolute safety, you need at least 800 points of Honkai Energy Adaptability."

"Um... more or less."

Ling Xi also agreed with Danzhu's data, because this was the safety data that Mobius had calculated!

Of course, if you're going to be a bit more aggressive, 500 points would be enough, but...

Ling Xi clearly couldn't let Cangxuan and Danzhu take risks, since if problems arose in this era, Mobius wouldn't be able to help, so...

Ling Xi still prefers to let the two of them reach 800HW Honkai Energy Adaptability before injecting the Hypervariable Factor. Anyway, they are still young, so it wouldn't be a problem to delay it for another year or two.

Moreover, during this period, their Honkai Energy Adaptability will gradually increase, and as a result, the beasts and humans of this era will no longer pose a threat to them.

"So... when will it take to reach 800?"

Danzhu asked the question again.

"This..."

Ling Xi hesitated for a moment before finally smiling and saying, "Back when I still had the side effects of Shesha, it would probably increase my score by 10 points every four times."

"Puff..."

Danzhu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. Four attempts for only 10 points? To achieve 800HW of Honkai Energy Adaptability, wouldn't that be...

Even if it's only once a day, it would still take almost a year, and... if you include herself and her sister, Ling Xi would have to multiply that by two!

"Oh right, Cangxuan!"

At this moment, Ling Xi seemed to have thought of a question as well, and looked directly at Cangxuan to ask, "Do you have Honkai Energy detection device?"

When I left the Previous Era, I didn't bring Honkai Energy detection device with me. Although there was a Honkai Energy detector, that thing mainly detects the approximate Honkai Energy reaction in the air and when energy is released. It's a completely different concept from an instrument that detects the human body's Honkai Energy Adaptability.

"Yes, but it's in a hidden base."

Cangxuan nodded slightly and smiled, "Before the operation, headquarters transferred most of the equipment that might be used in the future to hidden bases in various places. Moreover, most of the equipment is well preserved. Even if there are some minor problems, there are spare materials in the base. If all else fails, we can go to the next hidden base."

"Okay, that's good."

Upon hearing that Cangxuan had a device to test Honkai Energy Adaptability, Ling Xi nodded. Although it wouldn't be a big problem even without this device, she could simply use her own Honkai Energy to saturate the two of them.

However, if there were a detection device, the increase in Honkai Energy could be observed more directly, and thus...

That way, I can better motivate myself to work harder and strive to make them become Fused Warrior as soon as possible.

"However..."

At this point, Cangxuan seemed to be thinking and added, "I said this afternoon that the hidden base is more than 100 kilometers away from here, and we probably can't get there now."

It's winter now, and it's snowing outside. Ling Xi and Hua might be able to handle going out now, but I and my sister probably wouldn't.

If Ling Xi goes alone, he might not be able to find the location, but...

It's the dead of winter, and I can't very well let Hua go alone.

As for the two of them going together... what if their house gets robbed? After all, there are wild beasts like wolves and tigers roaming around here, and they might even be Honkai beasts!

"Doesn't Ling Xi have a spaceship?"

Danzhu suddenly remembered that Ling Xi had come to her side in a spaceship, although Ling Xi had put it away and never used it again.

"The spaceship probably won't work."

Ling Xi shook her head slightly and said, "First of all, the wind and snow outside are too strong, and the temperature is quite low. My spaceship is only a small one, and forcing it to take off would be quite affected. Secondly..."

"Although I brought the spaceship, I didn't bring its fuel. So now our spaceship's fuel is running out. Therefore, unless it's an emergency, I don't really recommend using the spaceship, unless there is spaceship fuel in the hidden base."

"Spaceship fuel..."

Cangxuan pondered for a moment and said, "There are indeed fuel reserves in the base, but we didn't pay much attention to them at the time because the spaceships, cars, and other equipment in the base were no longer usable, but..."

Cangxuan glanced at Ling Xi and analyzed seriously, "Since there are spaceships in the hidden base, then logically there should also be corresponding fuel. After all, the Doctor wouldn't be so careless."

"I see. Then we really should go..."

Ling Xi's eyes lit up immediately, after all, the fuel used by the spaceship was obviously not gasoline or diesel, but a very special aviation fuel!

If it were just gasoline and diesel, it would be relatively easy to handle. As long as oil is found, gasoline can be refined using rudimentary methods. However, aviation fuel... requires a complex industrial chain and many steps to produce, which is why Ling Xi is having a headache.

Now, the fact that there might be aviation fuel in the hidden base is very interesting to me.

While there might not be many, don't forget there are over twenty hidden bases around the world. Even if you only open half of them, the fuel inside should be enough to last you a long time, after all...

You can't use a spaceship every day.

Thinking of this, Ling Xi's mood improved considerably, and she immediately hugged Cangxuan and kissed him...

"Um... what?"

Cangxuan was clearly also somewhat bewildered.

"Hey-hey!"

Ling Xi simply smiled at this, then hugged Cangxuan with her left arm and Danzhu with her right, and whispered with a smile, "How about I continue to enhance your Honkai Energy Adaptability tonight?"

Cangxuan "..."

Danzhu "..."

Hmm,. jpg

Chapter 505: A typical day spent at home during a snowy day!

After that final confession, the relationship between the three of them improved once again.

Especially for Danzhu, after learning about the enhancement of Honkai Energy, all her previous worries vanished, as for being tricked by her own sister...

Generally speaking, the two will make up within half an hour, after all, this has become their daily routine.

On snowy days like this, in addition to Hua's daily routine of going out to patrol, Ling Xi would occasionally go out to patrol in Hua's place, since staying at home all the time made her feel like she was going to rust.

As for the other two, although their Honkai Energy may be steadily increasing, they are still just ordinary people before the injection of the Hypervariable Factor. Coupled with this terrible weather, they should stay home as much as possible.

In addition, Ling Xi also discovered that in this era without human technology, winters seem to be even colder. After all, there is no carbon dioxide and heat emitted by humans, and the snow reflects sunlight, resulting in particularly cold winters during this period.

Fortunately, with Ling Xi around, they don't get bored even if they stay home every day. After all, there are so many games, novels, and movies to keep them entertained.

Even if you get tired of all of these, you can still ask Ling Xi for help to improve your Honkai Energy.

The first day was a very peaceful routine. In the evening, Ling Xi helped the two of them enhance their Honkai Energy...

The next day was another peaceful routine. In the evening, Ling Xi continued to help the two of them enhance their Honkai Energy...

On the third day, Ling Xi went out on patrol for Hua and increased Honkai Energy at night... Ling Xi felt that if she continued like this, she would become decadent and she couldn't take it anymore, so she decided to rest for the next day.

On the fourth day, under the twins' influence, Ling Xi decided that it wouldn't matter if she rested the next day, and continued to increase her Honkai Energy...

On the fifth day, the twins changed into maid outfits, and Ling Xi continued to increase her Honkai Energy, assuring them that this was the last day...

On the sixth day, Cangxuan's Honkai Energy was increased. Danzhu felt it was unfair, but in the end, the Honkai Energy was increased anyway...

On the seventh day, increase Honkai Energy...
