Bug and Duck, Welcome Home! / Elysia and Mei's First Meeting!

"Seele, Seele, do you need any baby supplies?"

Taking advantage of the situation, Pardo started soliciting customers, laughing and saying, "Our purchasing power is evident to all. As long as you have a need, we guarantee we can get it for you!"

"Stop fooling around, Pardo!"

Vill-V went straight to Pardo's side and said, "You get your stuff through too many channels, who knows what kind of weird viruses you might have. If you manage to screw over Seele, hehe..."

"You know, our Dr. Mobius is really short of live test subjects lately," Vill-V said ominously.

"Hey... haha, just kidding, just kidding!"

Pardo promptly slipped away. It seems she should stop trying to make money Seele in the future; this was clearly courting death.

"Wow, it's so lively here."

Suddenly, Cecilia walked in with Kiana and Mother Duck, laughing, "How could you keep such important news from me?"

"Captain? When did you find out?"

Shigure Kira couldn't help but ask, after all, she and the others had only just learned about this from Ling Xi.

"Just now."

Cecilia nodded slightly, then glared at Ling Xi and snorted, "Little guy, you didn't tell me this news because you think I'm not as professional as you guys?"

"Huh... how could that be?"

Ling Xi quickly smiled and said, "I just finished telling everyone that I was preparing to use the space wormhole to bring you over, but you came by yourself."

"Alright, alright."

Cecilia waved her hand and smiled, "I just came to take a look, and I can offer you some advice, after all..."

Cecilia glanced at Alexandra and smiled, "We've all been through this before, so we can still offer some guidance on what to do and what not to do."

"Okay, then I'll trouble you..."

Ling Xi did not refuse, after all, her mother-in-law had experienced something similar, and she had received the highest level of care from Schicksal, so her opinion was still very valuable.

As for the other mother-in-law...

Well, Ling Xi can say is that probably only Bronya, who has Russian blood, could survive in such a difficult environment. So, we appreciate the good intentions, but as for suggestions... let's just forget about it.

Afterwards, everyone engaged in a lively discussion, except that today's focus had shifted to Black Seele. After all, while everyone was envious, they were also eagerly anticipating the arrival of this little life. By the end of the conversation, everyone had even started suggesting names...

Ling Xi "..."

Chapter 707 Kiana Duckling, Welcome Home!

"Oh, such a thing actually happened?"

Meanwhile, in Otto's private villa, the semi-retired Otto also received a message from Amber.

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Amber nodded slightly. "This news was released by Dr. Mobius, so its authenticity can be guaranteed."

"Heh, that's interesting."

Otto glanced at the information briefly, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.

It seems that... Ling Xi's impending childbirth is of great interest to him.

"Your Excellency, are you... trying to cause trouble?"

Seeing her bishop reveal that signature villainous smile, Amber couldn't help but remind him, "Your Excellency, please reconsider..."

Otto: "..." With Ling Xi's current power, would I dare to cause trouble?

Besides, even if someone wanted to cause trouble, it had to be based on mutual benefit, but now...

Otto saw nothing of value in it; after all, he didn't need Seele to revive Kallen, and as for researching Seele...

Mobius can do the research; the research report is open to me anyway, so why should I risk my life?

"Amber, we don't need to worry about what's going on over there. They'll handle it themselves."

Otto stretched, then shifted into a more comfortable position and lay back down, chuckling, "I'll send him a gift when that guy actually becomes a father."

"Understood, Your Excellency..."

Amber smiled and didn't say anything more, but then suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Excellency, a new round of S-rank Valkyrie assessments will begin in about two weeks, and two members of the Far East Branch have signed up this time."

"The two of you? Bianca and Bronya, right?"

Otto didn't even need to guess, since currently, among the St. Freya Academy, only Bianca and Bronya had the potential to advance to S-rank Valkyrie.

"Yes."

Amber opened the data and said, "According to relevant intelligence, the strength of these two people has reached the S-rank level. As for the Third Herrscher Raiden Mei, she is currently unable to fully control her Herrscher power. Therefore, although her strength has also reached the S-rank, she is very prone to losing control."

"This is Ling Xi's matter..."

Otto simply ignored it and laughed, "Don't forget, the fight against the Honkai is now being handled by the Flame-Chasing Moths. As for Raiden Mei... Ling Xi said two years ago that she's his wife, so let Ling Xi handle it himself."

"Yes, Your Excellency..."

Amber, unfazed by this, continued, "Your Excellency, next is about the new game project..."

Since Crimson Seele became pregnant, her status at home has risen dramatically. However, Crimson Seele also has some worries, because now she can no longer drink iced cola, she can't eat cold drinks, and she can't set the air conditioner too low. In short...

Although she knew everyone was doing it for her own good, she still felt constrained at every turn.

Moreover, he couldn't go to Ling Xi for milk tea anytime soon. The key point was that if it was only temporary, it would be fine, but...

Mobius once said that his physique might truly be the kind that grants instant kills, so...

I guess I won't be able to be like everyone else in the future, completely carefree. After all, if Mobius's guess is correct, then...

If you don't take proper precautions, you'll definitely be killed instantly.

Hmm... I suddenly feel like this is so inconvenient...

Forget it, I'll think about these issues later. Right now, my most important task is to get through these ten months safely.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Crimson Seele is gradually getting used to this life, and at the same time...

Mobius also managed to take a picture of the little guy, although... only a tiny bit.

Crimson Seele's daily routine consists of resting at home, or taking Ling Xi and others shopping or walking. If she doesn't want to go out, she stays at home watching anime or playing games.

However, Ling Xi didn't come to accompany Crimson Seele today, because it was the day that Kiana and Duckling came to headquarters. After all, the official assessment was tomorrow, and it was very necessary for them to come to headquarters a day early to rest and recuperate.

"Captain, it's been a long time."

At the third airport, Kiana practically sprinted off the spaceship and pounced on Ling Xi, looking incredibly happy. (From now on Kiana, I'll use Kiana to describe her.)

"What do you mean 'long time no see'? We just met yesterday."

Ling Xi also ruffled Kiana's hair.

"That's different..."

Kiana pursed her lips and snorted, "Even if a hologram is realistic, it's still virtual. How can it compare to meeting someone in person?"

"Yes, yes, you're right."

Ling Xi simply shrugged, then looked at the other two people behind Kiana. One of them was Duckling, and the other was...

Herrscher of Thunder Mei!

Of the three, Duckling is probably the Ling Xi is most familiar with. After all, Kiana was only brought back by Lingxi in 2009, and although Mei had met Mei in 2000, they were not very familiar with each other and had little contact.

As for Duckling... I can say that I've watched her grow up. Not only was I there when she was born, but I also knew her a few months earlier, when her mother was still in refuge.

However, this Duckling didn't lose its emotions, nor did its legs become paralyzed, but...

This girl still prefers a blank expression, only smiling occasionally; it seems to be just her personality.

"Bronya, Mei, welcome to Schicksal Headquarters."

Ling Xi glanced at the two of them and smiled back.

"Idiot captain, you'd better shut up..."

Bronya retorted, "Don't forget, Bronya's home is right here at Schicksal Headquarters, so the captain should be saying 'Welcome home' to Bronya..."

"Don't worry about the details."

Ling Xi smiled and said, "Besides, I was just welcoming Mei. Although you two grew up in Schicksal, this is Mei's first time Schicksal. Mei, don't be shy. After all, you are Schicksal's Valkyrie, so... coming to headquarters is like coming home. There's no need to be polite."

"Uh... I understand, thank you, Captain."

Mei also smiled at Ling Xi. Although she hadn't had much contact with Ling Xi, but...

Back in Changkong City, Ling Xi saved her twice. Later, at the St. Freya Academy, Ling Xi would occasionally come to teach her how to control the Herrscher power. Although Ling Xi always said it was mainly to see the Kiana and Duckling, Mei knew very well how much Ling Xi had helped her.

Although her strength has now reached the level of an S-class Valkyrie, she would never have this level of strength without Ling Xi.

Chapter 708 Elysia and Mei's First Encounter!

Soon, Ling Xi drove the two of them home. Kiana and Duckling then went back to their respective homes to find their mothers, while Mei...

Ling Xi took her home, though Mei mainly wanted to go herself. After all, Kiana and Bronya had been away from home for so long, they must have some things they wanted to say to their families, and as for her own words...

It was really inconvenient for Mei went back to the villa with Ling Xi.

"Wow, what a cute girl!"

After Mei brought Ling Xi home, the fairy-like girl immediately came over, smiling happily, and said, "Hello, my name is Elysia. I think... you must be the Mei that Ling Xi mentioned, right?"

"Eh... um, hello, Elysia."

Seeing Elysia's enthusiasm, Mei was a little flattered. It seemed that the girls around Ling Xi were all quite easy to get along with.

"Hey, Mei, Mei, is this your first time at headquarters? Would you like me to show you around?"

Elysia, very familiar with Mei, took her wrist and said with a smile, "By the way, would you like to take a tour of our house first? After all, you'll be... cough cough, Mei, you'll be staying here tonight, right? Come on, there are still quite a few rooms available, let's choose one together."

"Um... thank you."

Seeing Elysia's enthusiasm, Mei couldn't refuse for a moment. As for accommodation...

Well, it's not bad to stay here for a few days. After all, I'll definitely have to stay at Schicksal Headquarters until Kiana and Bronya finish their assessments.

So, Mei was dragged away by Elysia...

Ling Xi: "..." Hmm, a fateful encounter, but...

This time, both of them were real, and the Aimee party won a great victory!

"By the way, Mei, I heard you're the Third Herrscher of this civilization. Are your horns real?"

"Yes, it's true, although I don't know what it does."

"Wow, that's great! Can I touch it?"

"..."

"Is it okay? Is it really okay?"

"..."

"Thank you, Mei, you're so kind."

"Wow, I touched Mei's corner! I'm so happy!"

Hearing the sounds coming from upstairs, Ling Xi was speechless. Goodness, even after coming to the real world, Mei's horns couldn't escape being touched after all?

Furthermore, in the game's storyline, Elysia touched Mei's horn, it was after at least some time spent together and having developed an emotional connection. But this time...

They've only known each other for less than five minutes, and all I can say is... As expected of you, Elysia!

With Elysia taking care of Mei, Ling Xi didn't need to worry about Mei. Besides, this assessment was only for Kiana and Duckling. Mei's strength had already reached S-rank, but she hadn't fully mastered this power yet, which caused her to easily go berserk when using Herrscher power.

Of course, this is only temporary. After all Mei, there are so many top players at home, whether it's Elysia or Sakura, or perhaps Mobius and Vill-V. With just a little guidance and care, Mei can easily improve.

After all, don't underestimate second-playthrough players!

In the Previous Era, only he and Elysia were true second-playthrough players, and Elysia was always slacking off, while he always wanted to slack off.

In this era, there were more than a dozen players who completed the game twice.
