Chapter 154

I have shed blood for the World Serpent, and I have risked my life for Flame-Chasers!

Apponia: "Thank you for your kindness, but I think those children no longer need restraints; they can live well under the sun."

Elysia: "Has Apponia already seen the children?"

Apponia: "Yes, they're doing well. Thank you for your hard work."

Elysia: "Hehe, no need to thank me. Su is the one who contributed the most to the production of Honkai Energy Serum."

It's worth noting that after Su was given an important mission by Elysia, he significantly reduced even his time spent chatting online, spending all his time perfecting the serum.

Among Flame-Chasers, only Vill-V had a heavier workload than him.

Sue: "No need to be modest. The serum formula was already there; I just did some trivial things."

Su: "To my shame, although the perfect formula is right in front of us, some of the materials are simply too expensive, or they are things I've never even heard of before. What we're producing now are just the first series of experimental products."

Kiana: "Really, an experiment?"

Hearing this word and associating it with the Fire Moth always evokes a sense of inexplicable fear.

Could it be some kind of experiment involving Jackal?

Gray Serpent: "On the road to progress, someone always has to make sacrifices. The most expensive trade in the World Serpent is that everything you gain comes at a price."

Su: "I'm sorry, there's nothing we can do about it."

Honkai Disease, drugs, human experiments.

Even with the serum formula in hand, adjusting it to the optimal solution and then mass-producing it is a lengthy process.

In this process, someone is bound to make sacrifices.

Su: "Fortunately, we skipped the initial stage of formula research, which already minimizes the cost of experimentation."

Elysia: "Yes, Sue, you've done a great job. At least, the children in the nursing home have hope for recovery."

I wonder if Chakravartin's resentment towards Apponia will lessen a bit.

Elysia stole a Chakravartin, who had found a spot as far away from Apponia as possible, his [kind] smile still visible beneath his mask.

[Q&A begins.]

[What did Chakravartin do at the Dusk Street Sanatorium to anger Apponia?]

[A: The cabbage crate was knocked over.]

[B: Made the children in the nursing home cry.]

[C: The sanatorium's dormitories were demolished.]

[D: In front of the children, Apponia launched into a tirade of abuse.]

Pardofelis: "What! Sister Nia is angry? Really?"

Chapter 253 Infinity Cabbage Basket

Apponia was a devout nun, kind and compassionate; anger should not have been an expression on her face.

She is like loving water, embracing all rivers and possessing great tolerance.

Thanks to her tolerant nature, no one believed that Apponia would show an angry expression, let alone anyone else.

Theresa: "Pardo tore down the door of the sanatorium, Apponia could just pretend it didn't happen, giving her a verbal reprimand and that was it. Chakravartin, what did you do that went too far?"

Himeko Murata: "If my students dare to demolish the school gate... hmph."

Teacher Himeko glared at Kiana.

Her class is full of well-behaved students. The only one who is suspected and capable of doing something like this is probably this Kaslana descendant who can use an iron gate as a tennis racket.

Kiana: "Auntie Himeko, I would never do such a thing! Only Pardo would do that!"

Pardofelis: "Me? I'm a chivalrous thief! The matter with the door is a misunderstanding."

Apponia: "Pardo may be a bit mischievous, but she won't cause us any trouble. Even in such difficult times, the sanatorium still receives supplies from a kind person from time to time."

Pardofelis: "Haha... Well, who could have done this?"

Everyone on Dusk Street has their own hardships, and even with her incredible luck, Pardofelis only manages to get enough to eat.

The supplies she sent to the nursing home were money she had painstakingly saved up.

Elysia: "Oh? Is that so? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Pardo did a great job, Dusk Street Thief."

Pardofelis: "Ahem... Sister Elysia, I'm getting embarrassed by what you said. Let's talk about how Brother Jie angered Sister Nia first."

Pardofelis: "Let me think... Let's rule out the first answer first, a cabbage box, what's that weird?"

Apponia got angry because she knocked over a box of cabbages.

It sounds like utter nonsense.

This is not as serious as Pardofelis tearing down the iron gate of the sanatorium.

Theresa: "I think so too. Who would get angry over spilling a box of cabbages, especially a compassionate nun?"

Raiden Mei: "Chakravartin... you... you wouldn't be bullying children, would you?"

Immediately, a wave of disdainful glances fell upon Chakravartin in the Chat Group.

Raven's, Teacher Himeko's, Theresa's, Cosmo's... and Sakura's.

Elysia: "Chakravartin, it's not right to bully the children at the sanatorium."

Apponia won't be angry.

Even if Chakravartin cursed her and then tore down the iron gate, she wouldn't get angry, unless it involved the children.

Chakravartin: "I wouldn't do something so pointless."

Pardofelis: "Then why is Sister Nia angry?"

Chakravartin: "Apponia? Ha~, hasn't she always been like this? Has that hypocritical face finally been unable to suppress its anger and ugliness?!"

Apponia: "Chakravartin."

Chakravartin: "..."

It felt like these two were at risk of exploding at any moment, so everyone else quickly shut up and didn't get involved in their conflict.

Elysia: "Apponia, Chakravartin, since this has happened, you should know the answer, right?"

Chakravartin: "I don't remember!"

Apponia: "Let me think, there haven't been many times that have angered me... It must have been the time when Chakravartin knocked over the cabbage."

[Correct answer.]

Theresa: "..."

Hey! Just how stingy is this person?!

To others, Apponia has always been seen as a kind and generous person, so it's unexpected that she's so strict with Chakravartin.

It's just a basket of cabbages spilled; there's no need for you to get so angry.

[Congratulations to Apponia for winning the reward: Infinity Cabbage Basket!]

[Description: A tool capable of continuously producing cabbage, ensuring it is all-natural and pollution-free; it produces truly natural cabbage.]

[How to use: Tap the cabbage basket once, and an extra cabbage will appear.]

Pardofelis: "Why cabbage?"

The cat looked puzzled, with a big question mark above its head.

More weird and wonderful props have been added?

Theresa: "Yeah, why cabbage? Wouldn't Infinity supply of bitter melon be better?"

Elysia: "..."

Pardofelis: "Uh, if it's bitter melon, I still prefer cabbage. At least it's not bitter."

Bronya: "Taking a cabbage, what's the principle behind that? Is it converting kinetic energy into organic energy?"

Welt: "From a regrettable point of view..."

Okay, from a scientific point of view, this is not scientific at all.

However, from the perspective of energy conservation, it seems to make a tiny bit of a fuss about it.

Kiana: "It feels like that Bitter Melon Juice Converter from Auntie's period—it looks powerful, but it's not very useful."

If you want to eat cabbage, just go to the market to buy it. Why bother using a vegetable basket?

What did the cabbage basket do wrong?

Apponia: "No, cabbage is an important food. People on Dusk Street have all experienced going hungry. When disaster strikes, food is a very important thing."

Himeko Murata: "Yes, back on the battlefield, a box of luncheon meat was a rare treat."

Kiana: "I understand what you're saying, but Auntie Himeko, even if there's Infinity Cabbage Basket, you can't keep filming forever, can you?"

Most people in the Chat Group have some less-than-pleasant memories.

It's not that we can't understand the experience of not having enough to eat.

But it's unrealistic to expect to feed a lot of people with a single cabbage basket.

Raiden Mei: "You'll break the cabbage basket."

Apponia: "..."

Pardofelis: "Or should I do it? I'm not strong enough."

After saying that, Pardofelis ran to the cabbage basket, gently patted it, and a cabbage the size of a fist jumped out and landed steadily in the basket.

Pardo, not giving up, stared at the cabbage in front of her that she could easily bite off, and with a thud, gave it a hard slap.

Then the whole basket of large cabbages jumped out.

In the scene, at the sanatorium, Chakravartin, for some unknown reason, started kicking the cabbage basket blocking his way.

"Get out of my way."

The cabbage basket was very sturdy; Chakravartin while without any reaction.

"Chakravartin, these boxes don't have legs. No matter how much you beg, they won't leave on their own."

Apponia came over to persuade him to end his life, but Chakravartin became even more unhappy.

"Which ear of yours heard me pleading? You inexplicable woman."

Chakravartin turned around and stared at Apponia.

"Or do you want to get punched by me like these boxes?"

After saying that, Chakravartin kicked the cabbage basket twice, and then, still unhappy, punched it twice more.

Chapter 254 Please Don't Waste Food

"The human body is not a cardboard box; it can feel pain."

Apponia shook her head and explained carefully.

It was as if the raging Chakravartin before her were her students who needed understanding and care.

"So, don't throw a punch at someone lightly. That's basic common sense, remember that, Chakravartin?"

"Don't act like you're coaxing a child; it's really annoying."

Chakravartin stomped on the ground twice more.

"I'm sorry, I saw that you got along well with the children at the nursing home, and I thought you would like to hear that."

"They get along well? Apponia, are you seeing things? How could you come to that conclusion?"

"The children love you. They stop crying as soon as they hear your name. Isn't that proof of a good relationship?"

Apponia countered.

Elysia: "Pfft~"
