Why Isn't My Honkai Energy Increasing? / No Herrscher Core? Then Let's Use a Divine Key!
Danzhu brought up the issue again.
Ling Xi "..."
"Hey, I already told you, the spaceship is too small."
Helpless, Ling Xi could only explain again.
"So, why did you bring my sister but not me?"
Danzhu continued to ask probing questions...
Ling Xi "..."
"You little rascal..."
Ling Xi decisively shut Danzhu's little mouth, stopping her from continuing her incessant chatter...
Of course, Danzhu didn't refuse Ling Xi either, and happily played games with Ling Xi. Hmm... tonight, her name is Game.
Huh? You're asking if I'm good at playing cards?
Chapter 513: Why isn't the Honkai Energy increasing?
Two days later, thanks to the efforts of Cangxuan and Danzhu, the Honkai Energy detection device was finally repaired. After some simple adjustments, the Honkai Energy detector was ready to be used at any time.
"Whoosh..."
Inside the room, under the watchful eyes of Ling Xi, Cangxuan, and Hua, Danzhu took a deep breath and then reached out to perform Honkai Energy detection!
The process was the same familiar one: a small sample of Danzhu's blood was gently drawn, analyzed by the analyzer, and finally...
[Honkai Energy Adaptability: 25HW!]
"What?"
Upon seeing this result, Danzhu seemed somewhat bewildered. 25 HW, wasn't this the data she had collected in the research institute?
To be precise, my initial wattage was only around 5 HW, but then inexplicably it jumped to 15 HW. Yes, that was the time my sister treated me to milk tea, and then...
When the technology of the Hypervariable Factor was nearing maturity, I injected myself with a general-purpose Hypervariable Factor, which barely managed to increase my Honkai Energy Adaptability to 25HW. So...
Based on my interactions with Ling Xi over the past two months, which have amounted to at least a hundred times, my Honkai Energy Adaptability should be at least 300 HW, right? But it's still only 25 HW.
"Ling Xi, sister, what's going on?"
Immediately, Cangxuan felt uneasy, because if the data was correct, wouldn't that mean Ling Xi couldn't enhance his Honkai Energy Adaptability? And if that were the case, then the plan to inject the Hypervariable Factor would naturally be impossible to realize.
"Don't panic. This is a precision instrument. Do you think it's possible that it won't malfunction at all?"
Cangxuan rolled his eyes at Danzhu and calmly said, "Perhaps it's just that the instrument hasn't been properly calibrated and there are some errors."
"Yes, that's right, that should be it."
Ling Xi nodded as well. Although his intuition told him that this wasn't an error, but...
Even if there's only a sliver of hope, we have to give it a try.
"Let me try."
So, Ling Xi stepped forward, ready to test her own Honkai Energy Adaptability as well.
Under normal circumstances, without activating the Herrscher Core, his Honkai Energy Adaptability should have reached 3000 HW. He wondered what the current situation was; if possible, Ling Xi hoped the result would be only a few tens of HW, because that would indicate a malfunction in the equipment. However...
[Honkai Energy Adaptability: 3260HW±20!]
The display showed a Honkai Energy Adaptability of 3200HW, almost exactly the same as the result when I tested it in the Previous Era. In other words...
"Hua, what is your Honkai Energy Adaptability?"
Ling Xi decisively asked Hua behind her.
"After awakening the power of Garuda, my adaptability is 2200HW. If I enter a state of Artificial Honkai Eruption, my Honkai Energy can briefly reach over 3000!"
Hua didn't hide anything and directly told Ling Xi his data. This data was obtained before he went into hibernation. In the past few years, his body had basically not changed, so his Honkai Energy Adaptability should not have changed much either.
"Hua, why don't you give it a try?"
Ling Xi directly asked Hua Ye to give it a try, since it was just a coincidence that she was alone...
"Good."
Hua had no objection to this and cooperated fully with the Honkai Energy Adaptability test.
[Honkai Energy Adaptability: 2275HW±20!]
And the final result was pretty much as Hua had predicted, which means...
The testing instrument is fine; the problem lies with Danzhu.
"I'll give it a try too."
Finally, Cangxuan also chose to test himself, and the final result was as expected...
[Honkai Energy Adaptability: 120HW!]
"Puff..."
Upon seeing this result, Danzhu burst out laughing and asked, "Why is my sister so much taller than me?"
"Cough cough."
Cangxuan coughed lightly and said very calmly, "That's because I have extraordinary talent."
"Yeah?"
Danzhu looked at her older sister with suspicion, feeling that something was amiss...
Ling Xi, however, seemed to realize something, because...
Previous Era, besides Klein frequently coming to him for samples, Cangxuan would occasionally come to him for samples under the guise of Klein or the Doctor, so...
Ling Xi "..."
In the past, Ling Xi might have complained, "This girl is really dishonest," but now...
Ling Xi only regretted that Cangxuan hadn't taken more back then. If Cangxuan had taken more, then perhaps she could have met the requirements for the elite-level Hypervariable Factor.
"It seems that our Honkai Energy Adaptability has not improved in the past few months."
In the end, Cangxuan, though somewhat helpless, could only accept the fact that Ling Xi... or rather, the current Ling Xi, was simply unable to enhance their Honkai Energy Adaptability. In other words...
All the efforts my sister and I have made over the past few months, as well as the impacts we've endured from the Emperor-class Honkai Beast, have been for nothing.
"Could it be a problem on our end?"
Upon learning this fact, Danzhu was clearly somewhat disappointed, but she still couldn't help but analyze, "After all, our talents are inherently poor, so... could it be that it's not because Ling Xi is incompetent, but because we are incompetent?"
"That's unlikely."
Cangxuan shook his head slightly and said, "Previous Era, Ling Xi enhanced our Honkai Energy Adaptability, but we haven't changed much Previous Era then, so... this must be Ling Xi's problem."
"I think so too."
Ling Xi nodded silently, saying with a hint of helplessness, "After all, Doctor, Senior Sister, Sakura, Elysia, Seele, and Eden and Aponia, their Honkai Energy Adaptability can be enhanced, so there's no reason why you can't be enhanced as well."
"Aponia?"
Cangxuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "You even took care of Aponia? You... well, never mind."
Cangxuan rubbed his forehead, stopping himself from thinking about the problem. After all, compared to his current issues with Danzhu, what did Aponia even matter?
"How about we let Ling Xi try dating someone else?"
Danzhu asked tentatively.
"But in this era, we have no way to find people, can we? We can't exactly go to human tribes to look for them, can we?"
Cangxuan shrugged and laughed, "Leaving aside the fact that Ling Xi's actions would interfere with human civilization, the key point is... I don't think Ling Xi would be able to do it. Of course, given this guy's SP personality, he could do anything, not just humans, but maybe even lizards."
"Roll!"
Ling Xi promptly told Cangxuan to get lost. This was slander! He wasn't Third Brother; how could he possibly be interested in animals?
Well, although I can now be considered Xu Xian, the Doctor's true form is still human.
"Actually, isn't there someone already in mind?"
Danzhu looked thoughtfully at the person beside him.
"Oh? You mean..."
Cangxuan immediately understood...
"Um?"
Looking into their eyes, Hua suddenly had a bad feeling.
Chapter 514: If we don't have Herrscher Core, then we'll use Divine Key!
"Huh? Why are you all looking at me?"
Seeing the gazes of Danzhu and Cangxuan, Hua suddenly felt a little flustered, because... she also knew Ling Xi's abilities, and the way these two were looking at her was clearly...
At this moment, Hua felt extremely flustered because she realized that... she didn't actually want to refuse, um...
Of course, this wasn't because of Ling Xi, but because I wanted to cooperate with their experiment. Only in this way could they find a way to survive, so...
Hua silently looked at Ling Xi and said, "Ling Xi, if it's for the experiment, then I..."
"Stop fooling around, you two!"
Ling Xi gave each of the twins a sharp rap on the head and said irritably, "What kind of time is this to be making jokes like this?"
As she spoke, Ling Xi looked at Hua and said, "Sorry, Hua, you know these two girls always like to stir things up. I was just joking. By the way, Hua, what were you trying to say just now?"
Magnificent"..."
"Hehe, it's nothing."
Hua simply smiled slightly, but in his mind, a million South American animals were galloping through his mind.
"Little Xuan, Danzhu, I think it's my fault."
Ling Xi looked at the two little darlings in front of her again and said, "I acquired this ability after the fierce battle with the Fourth Herrscher. In other words, it was after I underwent the Doctor's Hypervariable Surgery. First it was Elysia, then Sakura, and finally the Doctor. The three of them successively enhanced their Honkai Energy Adaptability by a large amount."
"But you're Fused Warrior now, so why can't you?"
Cangxuan seemed somewhat puzzled. Since Ling Xi demonstrated this ability after becoming Fused Warrior, and Ling Xi is still Fused Warrior now, why can't the two of them enhance Honkai Energy?
"Well, I think..."
Ling Xi hesitated for a moment, then finally said directly, "It's probably because I'm no longer Herrscher."
"The Herrscher?"
Cangxuan suddenly realized something and asked directly, "So you became Herrscher after Seele's incident, during the time of the Sixth Herrscher and Seventh Herrscher, but you acquired this ability after the Fourth Herrscher. Isn't that a contradiction?"
"No!"
Ling Xi stroked his chin slightly and said, "The Herrscher I'm talking about here isn't a true Herrscher, but rather the kind of Herrscher who possesses Herrscher Core."
Ling Xi looked directly at Cangxuan and said seriously, "Little Xuan, you should know that after I became the Third Herrscher, I possessed the power of two Herrscher Core, namely the Herrscher of Thunder and the Flame Herrscher Core from the future. Before the Fourth Herrscher appeared, I was already with Elysia, but at that time Elysia did not show any signs of enhancing her Honkai Energy Adaptability."
"Until after becoming the Fourth Herrscher, I not only became Fused Warrior, but also possessed the power of three cores. It was at this time that my ability to enhance Honkai Energy Adaptability appeared, so..."
Finally, Ling Xi said with utmost seriousness, "I think that Fused Warrior only qualified me to enhance your Honkai Energy Adaptability, but the Honkai Energy I enhance for you may not come from me, but rather... from the Herrscher Core, therefore..."
"I think that only when one is simultaneously in the state of Herrscher and Fused Warrior can one have the effect of enhancing the Honkai Energy of others."
At this point, Ling Xi had also learned to think. After all, she had spent so much time with the Doctor and Elysia, and Aponia and Eden had also taught her how to think, so...
At this point, Ling Xi would no longer be indecisive and say, "Why can't I do it?", because...
I can no longer rely on the Doctor and Elysia!
"So that's how it is..."
After Ling Xi's analysis, Cangxuan basically understood the setting of Ling Xi's ability: the Herrscher Core and the Hypervariable Factor are both indispensable.
But now...
The Hypervariable Factor are easy to deal with, since Ling Xi is Fused Warrior, and he still has a lot of unused Hypervariable Factor. But the Herrscher Core...
