Chapter 130

At her age, she squinted.

Siegfried stared at his phone screen, a thought suddenly occurring to him: Could Bianca be retaliating against him for not agreeing to An Yu's advances?

Although this idea is very unreasonable

Kiana, who was licking her ice cream cone, glanced at the photo and blinked. "I know him! His name is Kevin. I met him when we were in a band."

"Is this really not photoshopped?"

Siegfried felt a little sweat on his forehead, but he could swear to God that he had absolutely not committed any adultery after marriage.

Kiana, standing to the side, shook her head. "No, he just looks a lot like someone from the Kaslana Family, in every way."

"I heard he's an orphan and doesn't have a surname."

This world allows people to be without surnames, but of course, having a surname is not a problem either. Just like An Yu is not named An Yu but simply called An Yu, many orphans do not have surnames.

Scar [⊥●LU3≤∪ship≮] : "Have you talked to him?"

Cecilia spoke in a gentle tone.

"Hmm, Kevin is pretty impressive. It seemed like he was planning to collaborate with Reson Studio when we met last time."

Kiana praised him instinctively.

Siegfried felt a chill run down his spine. Damn it, it's coming for me!

"Reson Studio?"

Oh, Cecilia remembered now, her silly daughter Durandal did indeed go to Schicksal's Divine Land branch today, ending her vacation.

Durandal has good business capabilities. She may seem a bit old-fashioned and serious, but her approach of not being radical or cowardly is a very suitable strategy for a large company like Schicksal.

"Mom, I'll go over there and sound out what they're saying for you!"

Kiana quickly came over; she really didn't want to be at home, it wasn't fun at all here.

Rita is a bad woman who has always coveted her second sister, Theresa is even more evil. Kiana will never forget that she called the police, only to find out that the housekeeper was the one who abused Theresa, and that Theresa casually told the story as a joke.

Himeko... Hmm! Himeko is no longer pure. Speaking of which, is that kind of thing really that pleasurable? Himeko seems radiant today.

Cecilia glanced at Kiana gently. "Kiana, go to Rita Rita's flower shop first. Your blind date for today is there."

"The other party is an outstanding young man from the Apocalypse Family; I believe the two of you will definitely have a lot in common."

Kiana's expression hardened; this day had finally come.

She sniffed and looked at her father, who had previously Anti-Entropy to her not getting married during this period of time, but avoided her gaze.

Wow! Dad, get your act together!

"I have someone I like, Mom."

Kiana made a final attempt.

"I know, Raiden Mei, but didn't you two break up recently?"

"Not Mei! I'm talking about An Yu." Kiana quickly adopted a lovestruck, girlish demeanor. "He's super handsome! And his physical abilities are amazing! He's also incredibly considerate and gentle..."

Cecilia paused for a moment. Who is An Yu? Oh, the young man who almost sent Siegfried to the hospital with a single punch, right?

"You think... I'm as easy to fool as your dad, right?"

Her tone was languid, carrying an air of detached understanding.

Do you really think she can't see through An Yu's role as a shield?

She wanted to do the same thing back then, but later she thought it was too much trouble, so she canceled her arranged meeting with the Kaslana Family and ran away from home. Who knew that Siegfried would also cancel...

"Go try it out first, and come back if it doesn't work out."

Oh, Kiana looked worried and reluctantly dressed up. Once she was out of her parents' sight and sure they couldn't see her, she quickened her pace and ran towards the airport.

Kiana: "Poke it! Poke it!"

She sent messages quickly.

Rita: "Screenshot of successful flight booking. jpg"

Rita: "The plane ticket has been sent to your phone, using Durandal's identity. Please, Miss Kiana, be sure to persuade Durandal!"

Kiana: "Leave it to me!"

Now she ran even faster.

Volume 1: Chapter 195 (193) Pleasant Cooperation

"Cheer up!"

The supervisor patted Kevin on the shoulder, his tone concerned. He wondered what the young man had been through these past few days, as he looked so down that even work hadn't helped him get back on his feet.

Kevin raised his arm, his lips moved, but he ultimately swallowed his words.

There's no need to complain to your supervisor about this. They seem like a decent person. You should just go back and resign.

"Sigh, never mind." The supervisor sighed, seeing his expression. "I'll handle this communication. I'll give you a few days off to deal with your personal matters."

Kevin:...

It's beyond repair.

He wanted to quit his job and switch to the night shift.

But Mobius's words are not without merit. What if there's just a minute or two of overlap, allowing them to reconnect?

In various science fiction works, consciousness is depicted as being infinitely close to the speed of light, and even the different flow of time is reflected in dreams. This seems quite reasonable to me.

Seeing that Kevin was silent, the supervisor could only guess that it was probably a relationship problem, since Kevin's initial reason for switching jobs was that he wanted to work in the same city as his girlfriend.

"Probably," the manager thought to himself, puffing out his beer belly. "If the next collaboration involves a banquet, that's the future!"

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Half an hour later, An Yu warmly grasped Kevin's hand, her smile sincere and radiant.

In An Yu's mind, Kevin was definitely a crucial figure.

Since the story has only progressed to the Herrscher of Sentience, Kalpas can be considered an NPC who doesn't need to be paid much attention to by Kevin.

He's practically a superman!

Kevin hesitated for two seconds, somewhat taken aback by this overly enthusiastic attitude, which was completely different from what he had expected.

The supervisor next to him narrowed his eyes and patted Kevin on the shoulder approvingly. "You rascal..."

It turns out they had already secretly made connections; they were very discreet.

"I..." Kevin hesitated, but An Yu's overwhelming enthusiasm completely disrupted his rhythm, leaving him momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

"I've long heard of your company's exceptional skills in scene creation. It's just a pity that our collaboration was delayed by several days due to your parent company's anniversary celebration a few days ago. I'm truly sorry."

An Yu explained with a smile, her tone sincere.

"You can't hit someone who's all smiles," Kevin thought to himself, and knowing he probably couldn't win, he forced a smile.

To be honest An Yu probably doesn't have any memories of the dream, otherwise he wouldn't understand why the other party is being so enthusiastic now... But maybe not, after all, he had a good time in the dream.

"When will we sign the contract?"

Kevin composed himself. No matter what, at least there was one good thing.

An Yu hesitated for a moment. She originally wanted to delay for another day, but seeing Kevin's mental state, delaying for another day... this key man was likely to explode.

"Let's do it today."

We were supposed to get together, but Reson Studio just couldn't find the time, plus there's the outsourcing team from Anti-Entropy coming up next.

Fortunately, An Yu didn't need to say it herself. Kevin instantly relaxed after learning that he could leave after signing the contract, and his eagerness to go home was completely undisguised.

No matter how much his supervisor tried to signal him with his eyes or even tug at his sleeve, Kevin remained unmoved.

An Yu smiled as she saw the two off.

An Yu: "Professor, your protagonist Kevin seems to be a bit off lately."

There was no response; Mobius probably had work during the day.

On her way back An Yu 'conveniently' passed by Bronya's office, and sure enough, Mei- senpai had been dragged over to do free labor. The reason why Black Seele was so well-behaved today was because she was also helping out.

I'll be busy for the next few days, coordinating with Anti-Entropy and other partner companies.

He returned to his workstation, his older sister's head nodding slightly, but she still forced herself to stay awake.

"Take a nap," An Yu said softly, taking a soft pillow from the drawer beside her. "Staring at these densely packed square characters all day can really put you to sleep."

Elysia mumbled a few words, uttering a long string of unintelligible babbling in An Yu, before her head slumped down and she collapsed onto the table, falling into a deep sleep.

An Yu took out a thin blanket from the same drawer and carefully covered her sister with it.

If you ask him why he has so many of these things, he said he bought them when he was trying to improve his performance score, and having these two items at work is very convenient.

An Yu sat back in her seat and refocused her attention on the screen. A few lines had already been written at the beginning of the document:

"Honkai is an unusual disaster, a rhythmic adjustment of the universe's periodic cycles."

"Honkai is born with the birth of civilization, with the ultimate goal of destroying civilization, and is forever an enemy of human civilization."

An Yu typed on the keyboard. Although there was some conflict with the way her boss presented his IP, without conflict, how could anyone care about her worldview?

"When a non-isolated system transitions from chaos to order, it briefly exhibits a decrease in entropy, and this decrease in entropy triggers a significant increase in the entropy of surrounding systems."

"These nine processes of change will result in alterations to the four imaginary energies, which manifest in various forms, but in our era, this manifests as Honkai."

An Yu continuously fills in the Honkai settings, temporarily defining the cyclical adjustment rhythm of the universe as a change in entropy.

Of course, other arguments can be used, but using entropy increase is a default, unspoken rule of Anti-Entropy.

During the process of evolution, a civilization may briefly exhibit a form of entropy reduction, which contradicts the laws of the universe's development. Therefore, when a civilization reaches a certain stage, it will inevitably be accompanied by tests.

However, the danger of such a test increases continuously within a local system, because the more isolated the system, the more obvious the entropy increase becomes.

There are two possible outcomes: either the civilization adapts to this development, its entropy stabilizes and no longer increases rapidly, maintaining an entropy balance, which is a result of the civilization's own control; or it adapts to this development, its entropy value stabilizes and no longer increases rapidly, maintaining an entropy balance.

The second is the destruction of civilization; in the initial chaotic equilibrium, entropy was also in equilibrium.

But how can civilization control itself to achieve entropy balance? Opinions vary, but An Yu, being the planner, simply tapped a few keys on the keyboard and determined that it was for the unity of human civilization, or rather, for evolution.

Anyway, this is an idealistic worldview.

"If it's set up like this, then a space civilization could be established outside the Solar System."

An Yu muttered to herself, "This isn't just random talk."

"I feel like I have ideas for the third and fourth parts now."

This makes the underlying theme of the Honkai of the Songs of the Past much clearer: within this extremely isolated system, the catastrophe of civilization manifests itself in the natural world, which is Honkai.

The Previous Era civilization, destined to fail in all four trials, fixed the content of the nine-stage assessment, planted the seeds for success, and incidentally altered the assessment's internal parameters...

Anyway, that's how the game works, the assessment content is fixed, and the older sister even gradually influenced the Herrscher through love, so let's just set it up like that.

Once the most basic worldview was filled in, the rest became much simpler. A few days ago, An Yu had completely replicated the game's world at a 1:1 scale.

He'll still plagiarize.

Volume 1: Chapter 196-194 Liliya ~ Attack

"An Yu, help me move something."

Bronya lowered her voice so as not to wake Elysia, who was sleeping.

An Yu nodded, and when she got up, she avoided her older sister as well. However, it seemed that there was a notebook under her sister's body, with something written on it.

It seems to be a worldview she knows, such as how to reasonably bring out Kalpas, how to reasonably seize power from the wealthy, and how to reasonably take control of the administrative, legislative, and military systems...

Thankfully, this is reality, and her older sister lacks the power to help her, An Yu thought with relief.

What do you need to move?

He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't Mei already here? It would be so kind of you to trouble Mei."

Bronya hesitated slightly. "Come to my house... to move some instruments."

An Yu:...

?

"Mei is very efficient, and we don't need to worry about coordinating with the Anti-Entropy team at all."
