Chapter 214
The video ends here.
Theresa: "Pardo, this is a bit..."
Su's coconut tree was fine before; at most, she just lost a place to enjoy the shade. But Pardofelis, your actions are truly a case of betraying your own family for the greater good.
Using Canned Food as fish bait? How could you even think of that?
If that "Doomclaw Overlord" is some enormous creature, or if the fishing line breaks, the Canned Food will be completely ruined.
Even if they couldn't understand cat language, everyone knew at that moment that the Canned Food was absolutely furious.
Canned Food: "Meow!!!"
Pardofelis: "I was wrong, Canned Food, I really know I was wrong. We caught it, didn't we? I knew you'd be safe."
Canned Food: "Meow!!!"
Pardofelis: "Ahhh! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, please don't bite my ear... please don't bite my butt!"
In the Death Space, Pardofelis fled, while the Canned Food relentlessly pursued her, leaping up and biting Pardofelis rear whenever it had the chance.
The scene was quite lively.
Elysia: "Pardofelis and Canned Food's relationship is still as good as ever, I'm even a little envious."
Kiana: "No, no, no, where did you get the idea that they have a good relationship?"
The two of them, a person and a cat, were like a pair of clowns; they were the most mischievous creatures in the Death Space.
Pardofelis: "Canned Food, please stop biting me! I really know I was wrong! How about this, I'll give you one-third of the goods I got this week, and we'll be even, okay?"
Canned Food: "Meow!"
Pardofelis: "No, split it evenly, at most split it evenly."
Canned Food: "Meow."
Fat Canned Food's tone softened, it seemed the two of them had made peace.
Pardofelis: "Damn it, this is just too unlucky! How could this happen? I've lost a lot of money this time."
If she really threw the Canned Food into the sea to fish, that would be fine. The problem is that she hasn't even had a chance to do anything yet, and she's already carrying such a huge burden.
Most importantly, we lost a week's worth of goods.
Pardofelis could even see the Abyss Flower silver coins drifting away from him.
Pardofelis: "Ah, if only I could get a big job right now, so I could make back all the losses!"
[Q&A begins.]
[Who saved Mei from the clutches of the Vill-V?]
[Quick quiz. A wrong answer will trigger a lucky audience selection process.]
Vill-V: "Oh, isn't this your chance? Little Pardo, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It would be a shame if someone else snatched it away."
Pardofelis: "Uh... who rescued Sister Mei from the clutches of the Vill-V?"
Now that Elysia Kevin have finished filming, with the loss of their two most trusted leaders and most reliable companions, Pardofelis is truly unsure who to choose.
Moreover, the Vill-V is not a minor character who can be easily dealt with.
Pardofelis: "Let me think... This requires the strength to save people from the clutches of the Vill-V, the courage to step forward in such a perilous situation, and the wisdom to restrain the Vill-V."
Pardofelis: "It would be best if he also had experience saving Sister Mei."
Su: "..."
Fu Hua: "..."
Pardo's gaze swept around, and in doing so, the person became quite obvious.
Among the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, each was a talented individual, but not everyone possessed such virtues, especially now that Elysia and Kevin had disappeared.
Pardofelis: "I know! It's Sister Nia!"
Apponia, who once saved Raiden Mei from Chakravartin's clutches, possesses a compassionate and loving heart and great strength.
[Incorrect answer.]
Pardofelis: "Cough cough cough, how could it be, how could it not be Sister Nia?"
Apponia: "I'm sorry, Pardo, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Although I had the intention to save Mei, unfortunately, because of Chakravartin's matter, I don't think I'll have the time to spare."
Previously, it was because Chakravartin was killed that the Herrscher of Corruption was able to spare the time to aid the Vill-V. Presumably, Apponia has already been corrupted and is in dire need of protection by now.
[Pardofelis is penalized: Last month's store profits are wiped out.]
Pardofelis: "Ah! My silver coins!"
We've suffered a huge loss; this time we've truly lost everything!
Chapter 346 The Original Vill-V
The silver coin disappeared silently, but Pardofelis could hear the sound of her heart breaking—the sound of the coin shattering and the little money drifting away.
Pardofelis: "Waaaaah... Sister Elysia, I'm so miserable!"
Heartbroken, Pardofelis threw herself into Elysia's arms for comfort. This was the saddest day she had experienced in recent days, aside from witnessing her own death.
My silver coins, my little money, how could you just leave like that!
Waaaaah, you might as well take me with you!
Elysia: "Pardofelis, don't cry, it's okay, you can earn the money you lost next time."
Pardofelis: "But I lost so much! I earned so many silver coins last month, so many... crying"
The thought that all her hard work over the past two weeks had gone down the drain, and that half of her week's goods would have to be delivered as Canned Food, filled Pardofelis with utter despair.
[Lucky audience selection begins: Congratulations to Su for being a lucky audience member.]
Sue: "Let me think about it for a moment."
To be honest, Su felt that he might also be the one to make the move, since Apponia was preoccupied with the Chakravartin Calamities, which freed him and Fu Hua up.
Although the battle with Chakravartin had exhausted him and Hua, Su believed that rescuing Raiden Mei was not impossible given his unique circumstances in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.
Vill-V: "Su, are you really sure? If you make a mistake, you might end up falling for the Whopperflower again."
Sue: "Choose Original Vill-V."
[Correct answer.]
Pardofelis: "Sister Vill-V? But didn't the Vill-V say she would kill all the Vill-V?"
Vill-V: "Hahaha, Original, you're something else! This is indeed the truth, yet not entirely the truth. You manage to deceive people with every word of the truth. You're truly something else!"
This time, they even fooled the Vill-V.
Pardofelis: "Sister Vill-V, you're happy now, but you've really screwed me over this time. Why didn't you warn me earlier?"
Vill-V: "Do you think you can guess this just because I've reminded you? In everyone's mind, except for the Extreme Evil, all other Vill-V's are dead."
Vill-V: "The wisdom of the Enlightened One is incisive; I only said one sentence and they could guess the truth."
Sue: "They're just some guesses."
If it weren't for Vill-V's reminder, he might have really crashed and burned.
After all, the Herrscher of Corruption can render all Flame-Chasers Memory Body vulnerable, so the fact that the Original Vill-V is still alive is indeed surprising.
[Congratulations Su for winning the reward: Life Coin.]
[Su uses the Life Coin.]
Pardofelis: "So decisive?"
Su: "After all, the research on the Honkai Energy Serum has reached a certain stage. We should go back and reorganize the data, and the experimental samples also need to be adjusted."
Upon returning to the Fire Moth's base, Su immediately headed towards the medical department.
The experimental results of the Honkai Energy Serum, as well as the second-stage growth samples, were stored there, and the data reports on the immune rejection response were also kept in his office.
Mobius: "The development of the Honkai Energy Serum, that's the project Su invited me to work on last time, right?"
Sue: "Yes, you must have agreed back then."
Sue considered himself to have decent medical skills, but compared to Mobius, he seemed rather clueless.
Biology, human experimentation, gene sequencing—these are Mobius's specialties.
Pardofelis: "Great! With this powerful alliance, the Honkai Energy Serum will be developed sooner or later."
Elysia: "Mobius's words are indeed reassuring."
Mobius: "If you're counting on it, you'll be disappointed."
Elysia: "What do you mean?"
She got a little serious; the Honkai Energy Serum was a project that Elysia had always been optimistic about, and she had even invested a lot of effort in it.
In terms of funding, the development of the Honkai Energy Serum even surpassed some of Vill-V's projects at one point.
The Honkai caused irreversible damage to the Previous Era, one of the consequences being the torment inflicted on the human body by the Honkai. Those infected with the Honkai Disease could only wait for death in agony amidst the disaster and ruins.
The Previous Era was not without treatment methods; it's just that with such a large population, the cost of treating Honkai Disease was Infinity increased.
Panic can spread.
Despair, pain, and malice are born in people's hearts, take root, and grow in civilization.
If the plan to mass-produce Honkai Energy Serum succeeds, it will be a major asset in the fight against Honkai.
At the very least, it can give hope back to countless people afflicted with Honkai Disease.
Mobius: "As you Honkai Energy Serum think, I can indeed Infinity reduce the cost of the Honkai Energy Serum and develop new formula ingredients."
Elysia: "So what's the problem?"
Mobius: "The problem is that it's just a serum; it can treat Honkai Disease, but it can't clear Honkai Energy. And as long as Honkai Energy exists, Honkai Disease is just a byproduct, constantly arising and impossible to cure."
The problem is to solve the Honkai, not the people who have been corrupted by Honkai.
On this point, even Mobius understood it better than the higher-ups at Fire Moth.
Su: "We considered this issue from the beginning, but it's alright. Our main objective right now is to reduce the cost of the serum."
As long as the cost can be kept down to the price of cold medicine, it doesn't matter whether the formula is in our hands or not.
The Flame-Chasers didn't want to hide the formula for the Honkai Energy Serum; they just didn't want unscrupulous people to drive up the price to exorbitant levels.
Elysia: "Is that so, Mobius? Haste makes waste. We have to take it one step at a time."
Mobius: "Ha, it seems I was too talkative."
Shaking her head, Mobius was too lazy to waste her breath. After all, she had a lot to take care of once the laboratory was built, not to mention Cang Xuan and Danzhu, those two troublemakers.
[In the scene, Raiden Mei cornered by the Vill-V. At the last moment, a door suddenly appears in front of her and pulls her into a room.]
Raiden Mei raised her guard to the highest level, scanning the area before feeling relieved to find no sign of malice.
But the person who appeared before her was still Vill-V.
However, this time, Vill-V sat on the sofa with a calm expression, unlike the Vill-V she had seen before.
How should I introduce myself? Long time no see, or... nice to meet you?
"It is indeed you, the original Vill-V, the Original."
Raiden Mei affirmed.
Even if they look alike and Vill-V's personality can mimic and perform, the one who saved her from the clutches of Extreme Evil at this critical moment doesn't seem to be a branch of Vill-V at all.
Chapter 347 Is this some kind of nesting doll?
"Isn't it a bit too ordinary, disappointing you? You don't seem surprised at all."
Vill-V closed the book in her hand, placed it on her lap, and looked up at Raiden Mei's face.
"So, the so-called Mental Partition..."
Raiden Mei was interrupted by Vill-V before she could finish her question.
