Chapter 232

"Oh no, oh no! Yesterday's report, tomorrow's design experiment, and today's data processing... I'm going to miss the entire quarter's tasks again!"

The phrase "startled awake from his deathbed" perfectly describes Klein's current state.

If she doesn't complete her task, the professor will get scolded, and there will be issues with the budget for the next quarter.

Klein glanced at the data report that was still a third full on the table, and immediately got into work mode.

We absolutely cannot allow the lab's funding to be reduced.

Klein.

"Ah, Doctor? What are you doing here?"

Klein turned around and realized that Mobius had somehow gotten behind her.

Is it strange that I'm here?

Mobius asked with a smile, pinching Klein's cheek with his hand.

It's Klein! The real, living Klein works overtime!

"No."

Klein shook his head, then looked at the pendulum clock on the wall.

"Doctor, you should still be sleeping. Working overtime and staying up late will give you dark circles under your eyes. You only ordered a cup of instant noodles for your midnight snack yesterday."

"Klein, don't worry about those trivial things."

"Doctor, this is no small matter."

Klein sighed and continued to shake his head.

"The third phase of the Honkai Energy Serum requires a large amount of experimental data, and we don't have much time left. If we don't complete it, our budget will be cut."

The medical staff have been taking action for a while now, constantly clamoring for samples for the third phase of the experiment, but they haven't even finished the initial template.

In short, it's a major issue involving next quarter's funding.

"Anything is fine with me, Klein. This time I've brought a brilliant plan that can get funding."

"Doctor, are you going to try and scam funding from headquarters again with another useless proposal?"

Klein looked up and asked, his eyes full of distrust.

"What do you mean by a useless solution!"

Mobius gets angry whenever this is mentioned.

"Those idiots are clearly incapable of understanding our ideas, so why do they say my plan is invalid? What right do they have to deny groundbreaking innovations?!"

Not every research project in the Mobius Laboratory yielded positive results.

Some failed, some had to be abandoned because funding was not approved, and some were rejected as soon as they were submitted to the meeting.

"But Doctor, your proposals are rejected eight out of ten times."

"I've already said it, it's because they can't understand the thinking of geniuses."

"Doctor, if you continue like this, our funding will be slashed to rock bottom sooner or later."

Klein lowered his head, seemingly already anticipating the lab's financial deficit for the next quarter.

"I told you, Klein, I brought you a surprise this time."

Mobius reached into his pocket and took out the Panacea, presenting it to Klein.

"Doctor, what is this thing?"

"Panacea."

Three words, but they made Klein's eyes widen.

She stared at Mobius's face for a while, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he wasn't joking.

"Doctor, you've really given me a wonderful surprise, but where did you get this medicine?"

"Of course we apply to headquarters."

"Then why are there only nine?"

"Because she only had nine pills to begin with."

Mobius rolled his eyes at Klein, then calmly slipped a form into his pocket.

If Klein looked closely, she would have noticed it was an application form with her name signed on it.

--Regarding the laboratory, the key researchers of Honkai Energy Serum, the key developers of the Panacea, and the special application for the Panacea.

"Oh, so we're going to analyze the ingredients of the Panacea?" Klein asked, puzzled.

"No, the ingredients of the Panacea cannot be analyzed; what we need to do is cloning experiments."

Mobius patted Klein on the shoulder.

"Anyway, this great task is now entrusted to you."

"But I still have Honkai Energy Serum..."

Klein could finish speaking, he saw Mobius reach the laboratory door and close it tightly.

Before leaving, Mobius glanced at Klein from behind the door before departing.

She still needs to submit an application form to the meeting, and having a backup of a Panacea for Klein at all times is like having an extra life for an ordinary person.

Mobius wasn't afraid of others disagreeing.

Klein gone. If you're so capable, then you can be her assistants. You can take charge of the third phase of Honkai Energy Serum experiments and the Panacea development project!

Thinking about this made Mobius feel extremely happy.

Mobius: "As expected, Klein is still the most reliable. Cloning Panacea is just a matter of time and cost."

Kiana: "So, Mobius, you went back just to dump all the work on Klein?"

Even worse off Klein probably the Klein doll who spent Fifty Thousand Years working overtime in the Previous Era Elysian Realm.

[Q&A begins.]

[Sakura and Raiden Mei launched a powerful attack against the Herrscher of Corruption. What did Sakura name her attack?]

[A: Musou no Hitotachi.]

[B: Myriad Forms of Ignorance.]

[C: The Seeing Through Illusions.]

[D: Starburst Stream.]

Sakura: "Uh..."

Pardofelis: "Are you sure this name was chosen by Sister Sakura and not Sister Mei?"

No matter how you look at it, the names of these moves always give them a strong sense of adolescent angst.

They wouldn't believe it if you said it had nothing to do with Raiden Mei.

Could it be that Sakura caught it from Raiden Mei?

Raiden Mei: "I also think it's pretty chuunibyou, especially that Star... Burst Stream Slash."

No, no, it won't work.

At this point, the cook Mei hadn't yet reached the level of a Mei (Mei, or rather, even if she had, she probably wouldn't have come up with such a name.

Mei's face turned bright red just from saying the words "Starburst Stream".

Sakura: "Let's rule out this answer for now."

Pardofelis: "Sister Sakura, which name do you think sounds better?"

Sakura: "Well... how about 'Myriad Forms of Ignorance'?"

The other answers, no matter how you look at them, all have a chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) vibe, which is more in line with what a Mei would say.

[Correct answer.]

Chapter 377 Sakura Has Gone Bad Too

Raiden Mei: "Myriad Forms of Ignorance... at least it's better than Starburst Stream."

Kiana: "Why do I feel like Sakura's pretty chuunibyou (delusional) too?"

Sakura: "Really?"

She felt she was quite normal; at least she wouldn't say things like, "I can't do anything," or "The wind, submit to me."

Kiana: "Frozen Naraka, isn't that a cringeworthy name?"

Cherry. "..."

Thinking about it that way, it seems there's some truth to that.

[Congratulations Sakura for winning the reward: Life Coin.]

Sakura put the Life Coin in her pocket, not in a hurry to use it.

She probably received a lot of Life Coin, but unfortunately, Sakura always used them up, so she never had any left.

This time, Sakura thought about what gift to prepare before going back to visit her younger sister.

In the scene, Sakura holds the Seven Thunders of Retribution in one hand and places the other hand on the Frozen Naraka. The battle with the Herrscher of Corruption has taken a toll far beyond her expectations.

"Sakura, how are you?"

Raiden Mei's voice came from the other end. Judging from the frequency of her breathing, Mei's condition was not good either.

"Even if I say the situation is not optimistic, it probably includes an element of self-consolation."

Sakura Seven Thunders of Retribution in front of her, panting as she spoke.

At this moment, she didn't forget to glance at the Herrscher of Corruption in the distance. The Herrscher was acting nonchalantly, seemingly not worried at all about the two of them escaping.

They didn't stop them from discussing countermeasures.

"Miss Mei, what she said earlier was not an exaggeration. Judging from strength alone, even if all the other Flame-Chasers were present, she would still have the ability to defeat us all."

You must not touch the Herrscher of Corruption, or your data will be corrupted.

Data cannot be corrupted, because once corrupted, it becomes her power.

Sakura was fast enough that after countless attacks, the Herrscher of Corruption hadn't even touched her once, but even so, she was still not fast enough.

There wasn't even time to prepare a charged attack, otherwise the Herrscher of Corruption would have caught him instantly.

This situation cannot be simply described as bad.

"Then let's take a step back and agree to a compromise."

Raiden Mei stood in front of Sakura and said.

"Sakura, go find Apponia. At least I have the power to resist erosion, so it's better for me to buy time here."

Mei's suggestion is the most correct judgment that can be made at this time.

Unfortunately, this does not align with Sakura's purpose in coming here.

"If the gap in strength weren't so large, it might indeed be feasible."

Sakura kept a close eye on the Herrscher of Corruption's every move.

However, judging from the current situation, the Herrscher of Corruption definitely has the ability to deal with both Raiden Mei and Sakura at the same time.

"Miss Mei, I originally wanted to take them by surprise, but it seems I have no choice but to attack head-on now."

Sakura placed her hand on the hilt of the sword.

She possesses a sword technique that can freeze space; although it is not inherently destructive, it can still create an opportunity.

An opportunity to ensure that no attack Mei launches misses.

"But Sakura, if it's just one strike..."

Mei didn't want to say anything discouraging, but that was the truth.
