Chapter 114

Resisting overtime starts with me. You know, when she and Danzhu came to work in Dr. Mobius's lab, they were always late, never early.

When it was time to leave work, only Klein remained in the lab.

Who in their right mind works overtime?

Seeing this, Danzhu became even more certain of her inner suspicion. "Could it be that the professor has caught her doing something wrong, like her cringeworthy remarks in school or embarrassing photos from Team Building activities?"

That's you, isn't it?

"It seems we'll need to observe this carefully from now on."

Danzhu glanced in Mobius's direction, then stealthily slipped in. [The scene ends here.]

Danzhu: "Hmm, decent people don't work overtime. Is there anyone here who's willing to work overtime?"

Kiana: "I definitely won't add it."

What a joke! Kiana is the kind of person who even sleeps during class and secretly sneaks out by climbing over the wall; working overtime is simply out of the question for her.

Pardofelis: "I think, well... well, if Sister Eden is willing to give us a raise, working overtime occasionally might be good for our physical and mental health."

Things are different now. Pardo has to support a large group of cats. The cost of dormitory repairs and renovations, as well as cat food, all have to be deducted from Pardo's savings.

In the Death Space, her business wasn't doing very well either, and it was rare to encounter a customer who spent a fortune.

Running a business is tough, the cat sighs.

If you want to support yourself by adopting stray cats, you'll have to work overtime to earn money.

Vill-V: "Overtime? It's just a regular occurrence now. Those guys dump all the trouble on me; this old body can't take any more of this."

Elysia: "Vill-V really worked hard; the experts practically handled the entire engineering design."

Kiana: "All... all of the engineering design."

The engineering design of the Fire Moth so complex that even the blueprints alone could make Kiana tremble, let alone the creation of the Divine Key.

It's estimated that the only one who could surpass the experts in terms of workload is the one in Mobius Laboratory.

Vill-V: "Sigh... I still have over a dozen large-scale engineering design plans waiting for me to finalize in the workshop. I'm destined to be a workaholic. I don't have the energy of you young people. I think I'll log off now."

Bronya: "No matter when, the experts are always at work, giving off a gloomy vibe."

Chapter 189 Which Fusion Warrior is Unarmed?

Elysia: "After all, Vill-V has the ability to split things up. Once she splits off a certain area, that personality will master the knowledge of that area."

Bronya: "So, the other Vill-V will lose their abilities in that area? Like how the Chef was separated to prevent Pardo from stealing alchemical potions."

After thinking for a while, Bronya quickly understood the key point.

So it turns out that the other Vill-V dumped all the work on the experts. No wonder she only chatted for a very short time in the group each time, and had to log off after saying just a few words.

Fu Hua: "Phew... Little Senti, your clothes are finished."

Theresa: "Hmm? Fu Hua, you have this skill too?"

Wow, I was shocked. I thought Raiden Mei was the one with maxed-out housekeeping skills, Fu Hua was completely clueless.

I never expected that she would have such potential after being slightly pressured by the Herrscher of Reason.

However, when they saw Fu Hua patch up the hole and then embroider a chubby chick named Chi Yuan on the patch, they could hardly contain their smiles.

Kiana: "Pfft~ Hahaha, class monitor, what are you embroidering? Why did you embroider Chi Yuan on it? And it's so fat."

Himeko Murata: "Fu Hua, we understand you're not good at this. Don't be discouraged; everyone has areas where they're not good."

Fu Hua: "I think the embroidery is quite good."

The Immortal Crimson Bird didn't believe in superstitions. She picked up the clothes and examined the Chi Yuan embroidered on them carefully, but felt there was nothing wrong with it.

Chubby, with a tuft of red hair on its head, it looks about 80% like the puppets from Mount Tai Xu in the Puppet Academy. So cute!

The Herrscher of Reason, "Oh dear, it's Old Timer craftsmanship. Of course, it's still a bit inferior to mine, but I'll accept it!"

After putting on the clothes, the Herrscher of Reason looked at the Chi Yuan embroidered on her chest in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

Although the scar repair technique was not very good, it was completely haphazardly stitched on, and could even be described as ugly.

But since it's Old Timer item, she, being understanding, wouldn't find it offensive.

The Herrscher of Reason: "Wait, Old Timer, since you sewed it for me, I'll embroider a Black Kite on it for you too."

Little Senti was pleasantly surprised to find that the Old Timer was wearing the same clothes as her today.

If we were to embroider a Black Kite onto this Old Timer, it would truly be the best of both worlds.

Fu Hua: "But my clothes don't have any holes..."

The Herrscher of Reason: "The Herrscher of Reason has altered your consciousness; now you believe your clothes have a hole and need her to mend them."

Fu Hua: "... Alright then."

Seeing that the Herrscher of Reason was acting as if she would take it if not given to her, Fu Hua had no choice but to hand over her clothes.

Hopefully, Little Senti's cooking skills aren't that far inferior to hers.

[Q&A begins.]

[In the Previous Era Elysian Realm, who claims to be an ordinary person who doesn't even have weapons and has never been to a battlefield?]

[A: Mobius.]

[B: Elysia.]

[C: Pardofelis.]

[D: Vill-V.]

Theresa: "Ordinary personnel without combat capabilities? Are there such people in the Fire Moth?"

Isn't the place where the Fire Moth Fusion Warrior? And all four options are Flame-Chasers.

Elysia: "Hey, don't always treat the Fire Moth like a den of demons. Although the mortality rate is a bit higher and there are more human experiments in the Fire Moth, we are still a loving family."

Kiana: "Not just loving each other, but also being loyal to each other, right?"

This is a god-like, loving family that conducts human experiments.

You people who Fire Moth, how obsessed have you become? Don't you have any self-awareness?

Elysia: "Such situations must be quite common, after all, our companions are very understanding, so I'm at ease."

Raiden Mei: "For example?"

Elysia: "For example, my Original, 'One Hundred Questions About Chakravartin's Mask,' still has zero negative reviews. Don't you think that's due to trust and tacit understanding?"

Cherry. "..."

Sakura knew about this. Someone had even come to her with the book "One Hundred Questions About Chakravartin's Mask," apparently tasked with communicating with Chakravartin.

However, after that incident, Sakura never saw that staff member again.

Perhaps it was because he completed the task so well that he was promoted.

Kiana: "Putting aside teamwork, are there really any ordinary people among you Flame-Chasers who aren't good at fighting?"

Pardofelis: "It's me, Sister Mei! With my small and thin frame, I don't look like the kind of person who can go to the battlefield, do I?"

Raiden Mei: "Pardo, I remember you did logistics work before? Transporting supplies and stuff like that, you could say you've been on the battlefield."

Pardofelis: "Huh? That counts too?"

Oh! That's right. Although transporting supplies sounds like a safe logistical job, in reality, given the global Honkai, the wages for transporting supplies are far from safe.

It's just that they're relatively safer compared to the frontline Fusion Warrior.

Pardofelis: "But if we reason in this direction, then let alone the four options, there's no such person in our Fire Moth at all."

Elysia: "You forgot about Vill-V?"

Raiden Mei: "Yes, Vill-V is an engineer, the creator of the Divine Key, and she's incredibly important to the Fire Moth. She's the true logistics master."

Sue: "But Vill-V... once fought Kevin."

Kiana: "?!!"

Sue: "It's just a test, her Anti-Kevin Armament."

Kevin was her test subject for the Anti-Kevin Armament 5, although the results were not very satisfactory.

Theresa: "But if that's the case, then we're back to the original contradiction: there's no one in Flame-Chasers who's completely defenseless, is there?"

Su: "Actually, I think we can try a different approach."

Elysia: "For example, I often say that I'm a beautiful girl who's not good at fighting, so how could I possibly go into such a dangerous place as a battlefield?"

Raiden Mei: "..."

Okay, one more suspect.

The question does mention that it refers to herself, so either Pardofelis or Elysia are both possibilities.

Elysia: "Oh? Let me guess, it must be Elysia, right? Choose B!"

[Incorrect answer.]

The correct answer is Mobius.

Raiden Mei: "Mobius!!!"

Pardofelis: "Snake, Sister Snake?!"

So it was you all along, Mobius? Who could have predicted that?

The person Artificial Honkai Eruption upon meeting Mei and forced the Mei Mobius to go all out actually claimed to be an unarmed, unarmed non-combatant.

You're kidding me!

Chapter 190 Kevin, Online, Sacrificing Family Members for the greater good

Elysia: "Oh my, it's Mobius! This is really..."

If it were a question of lacking combat ability, no one would suspect Mobius; and if they were wrong, there's nothing they could do.

[Elysia receives a punishment: the Fairy Amusement Park's budget is reduced by half.]

Elysia: "?!!"

I feel sorry for her, just a tiny bit.

Although it was just an amusement Elysian Realm she opened on a whim, you know, she had to pester Eden for quite a while before she finally convinced her to raise funds in order to increase unnecessary expenses.

In any case, the idea of opening an amusement Elysian Realm on the Fire Moth base is truly unprecedented.

Recently, Vill-V has been planning the Fire Moth base project, which will definitely increase the base area.

Elysia had finally managed to convince Eden to continue raising funds to expand her amusement Elysian Realm!

Now that the funds she had worked so hard to secure had been cut in half, it was impossible for Elysia not to feel heartbroken.

Sakura: "Fairy Amusement Park? It's a disguise above the Fire Moth base."

Sakura still remembered the strange building that had stunned her for quite a while back then.

The Fire Moth was topped by a huge amusement Elysian Realm, and the stark contrast left a deep impression on her.

Sakura's younger sister, Rin, especially loves that place and often brings her classmates there, which makes Sakura both worried and helpless.

Pardofelis: "If the funds are reduced by half, then Sister Elysia's plan is doomed?"

Elysia: "Eden, my good Eden..."

Eden: "... I'll consider the investment."

Elysia: "I knew it, Eden wouldn't want to make me sad."

The plan succeeded, which means that the previous failed financing resulted in Eden investing again.

Investing inevitably involves risks.

In the scene, Raiden Mei is looking down, organizing the information she has been collecting.

"It now appears that among the thirteen Flame-Chasers, there are no non-combatants in the strict sense. They may indeed be more accomplished in other fields, but in combat, even in their least favorite area, they still demonstrate strength far exceeding that of ordinary people."
