Chapter 97

Elysia: "I don't know, but the Q&A mentioned the Enlightened One, Su, do you know about it?"

Su: "... That's a bit of an unreasonable request."

He had absolutely no recollection of it. It wasn't that Su was confident; after all, he was Enlightened One, and he knew that the Fire Moth had danger levels. How could he not know that?

Theresa: "Seriously? Aren't you the Thirteen Flame-Chasers of the Fire Moth? You don't even know about this kind of internal matter?"

Sakura: "... Never heard of such a thing."

[Answering first is considered a forfeit; lucky viewers will now be drawn.]

[Congratulations to Pardofelis for being a lucky viewer.]

Pardofelis: "No, why do I always get picked?"

Elysia: "Perhaps, Pardo, you're just too lucky. After all, the system drew a lucky audience member."

Pardofelis: "At times like these, I wish I weren't so lucky."

[10 seconds left countdown.]

Pardofelis: "Ah!!! I really don't know, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4!"

[Incorrect answer.]

[Pardofelis receives a penalty: Negative buff - Always slips when walking.]

[Description: Specially designed for adorable kittens, three steps and one swipe, lasting a whole day.]

Pardofelis: "Eh?... Ah!!"

Before she could even read the details of the system's punishment, Pardofelis, who was walking along the supply route, suddenly slipped and, relying on her cat-like sense of balance, did a backflip.

Pardofelis: "Phew~, that was close. Luckily, I have a special skill I use when I'm out and about, otherwise I would have been in big trouble."

Sakura: "Your signature move, is it a 180-degree backflip in mid-air?"

Pardofelis: "I didn't expect to be discovered by Sister Sakura, hehe. How can people like us who are used to taking shortcuts get supplies without some connections?"

Sakura: "You mean buying goods?"

If I remember correctly, this should be my residential area. Is Pardo here to buy more goods again?

Sakura looked around, then stared at Pardo, who was struggling to lift her leg from the wall, afraid of rolling off if she put it down. She shook her head and silently placed her hand on the katana at her waist.

Pardofelis: "Wow! Sister Sakura, don't draw your sword! I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong! Please, have mercy on me!"

Chapter 160 Honkai Energy Serum Formula

Pardofelis let out a desperate scream, only to see Sakura draw her long sword instantly, giving her no time to even protect her head.

A flash of light, Pardo fell off the wall. In her daze, she even forgot to maintain her balance and landed on her bottom.

After standing up, Pardofelis touched her body and found that only a few hairs were missing from her tail.

Pardofelis: "Okay, that was close! I almost thought you were going to kill me, Sister Sakura."

Sakura: "I was just worried you wouldn't be able to walk. The punishment of falling every three steps will be in effect for one day."

Pardofelis: "It's okay, Sister Sakura, you have to trust a cat's sense of balance. As long as I stay still, it won't fall on me!"

Sakura: "But how will you get back?"

Pardofelis: "Uh... at worst, I'll just ride the Canned Food back!"

Canned Food: "Meow!!!"

You shameless scoundrel, getting caught red-handed running out to buy goods, and you actually expect to ride on its head?

Pardofelis: "Wow! Canned Food, I'm sorry, don't bite my tail!"

[Congratulations to Durandal for being a lucky viewer.]

Durandal: "It's me?"

Kiana: "Phew, thank goodness it wasn't me, thank goodness it wasn't me."

That was close, that was close.

Kiana knew she probably couldn't escape, but luckily she had a sudden inspiration and opened the game to draw dozens of gold coins, which nearly used up her luck.

Otherwise, she would have been the one who got hit just now!

[Please Durandal.]

Ten seconds? How could she possibly have guessed that? Even the Flame-Chasers themselves didn't know.

Durandal: "S-Rank, A-Rank, B-grade, C-grade!"

After hesitating for a while, Durandal had no choice but to reveal the Valkyrie's level to see if he could get away with it.

[Incorrect answer.]

[Durandal receives a penalty: One day of vacation time is forfeited.]

Durandal: "Huh?"

Is there really such a punishment for forfeiting vacation time?

Besides, I'm on vacation right now. How do you expect me to waste her vacation time? Do you expect me to force myself to exercise?

"Beep beep~"

The sudden communication caused Durandal to frown.

"Lady Durandal, a small-scale Honkai has occurred near your vacation spot. We've also discovered traces of the World Serpent there, and we need you to complete the investigation within a day. I'm sorry, but you're the only Valkyrie we can deploy quickly right now."

"... I see."

Durandal sighed, then looked toward the place where the explosion had occurred in the distance.

She really did just that, completely wasting her vacation time, and even went so far as to trigger a Honkai, worried that she would finish too quickly, and even sent me to investigate the World Serpent.

You're really something.

[Congratulations to Elysia for being a lucky viewer!]

Elysia: "Sigh, is it true that beautiful girls can't escape their fate?"

Pardofelis: "Go Sister Elysia!"

Kiana: "Elysia, I support you! Quickly put your Flame-Chasers wisdom to use!"

In order to avoid being the next lucky audience member to be chosen, Kiana even cheered on Elysia, the wicked woman who had seduced Mei.

She doesn't have Pardo's ability to do a 180-degree somersault in mid-air.

Elysia: "Even if you say that, I really didn't know that the Fire Moth had a four-level danger rating system."

Eden: "Perhaps the key message lies in the wisdom of the Enlightened One mentioned at the beginning of the Q&A."

Elysia: "?! Oh, I see!"

Su: "Huh?!!"

What do you know? Enlightened One 're talking about him, aren't you?

Why do you know when I don't even know myself?

Elysia: "The four levels are: Sue doesn't react, Sue reacts but doesn't open her eyes, Sue reacts but her eyelids tremble, and Sue's eyes widen."

[Correct answer.]

Su: "..."

Durandal: "Uh..."

Goodness, who could have guessed that!

And why use Su's eyes as a predictor of danger level? Is it really that accurate?

[Congratulations to Elysia for receiving the reward: Honkai Energy Serum Formula.]

[Description: A serum formula that can treat patients Honkai Disease and heal the Honkai erosion within the body, with no side effects.]

Elysia: "This is good stuff!"

With this, there is hope for the Honkai Disease children that Apponia has adopted.

Moreover, the Honkai and erosion of the Previous Era caused most ordinary people to die from illness, and even those who survived the disaster could only watch helplessly as they waited to die.

This serum has been a huge help.

Elysia: "Eden, I strongly suggest increasing the funding for the Fire Moth significantly to produce this serum!"

Eden: "Okay, I'll allocate the funds. But Elysia, who are you planning to have work on this project?"

Without a doubt, the person in charge of this project must be one of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers.

The formula for the Honkai Energy Serum must be kept in our own hands. Otherwise, if it becomes commercially available, the enormous profits from this life-saving drug during Honkai outbreak would be enough to tempt those with ill intentions to risk their lives.

Elysia: "Hmm... Mobius, how about it?"

Danzhu: "Ah? Dr. Mobius?"

Raiden Mei: "Aren't you really going to consider finding someone else?"

Upon hearing the name Mobius, everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Of course, it wasn't that they distrusted Mobius's abilities or doubted his capacity to handle such an important task.

On the contrary, given Mobius's abilities, if she were to be in charge of analyzing the Honkai Energy Serum, it would probably take her days to complete.

But entrusting something so important to Mobius makes it hard to guarantee that he won't suddenly come up with a bold idea or something similar.

Elysia: "Oh dear, can you all think so badly of Mobius? Her reputation has been dragged down in this subtle and gradual way."

Theresa: "No, no, no, you can say that about the other Flame-Chasers without any problem. But Mobius, he doesn't seem like someone you can trust at all!"

Kiana: "Exactly, can't something this important be entrusted to someone capable and reliable?"

Elysia: "Do you mean Kevin or Chakravartin?"

Powerful capabilities, safe and reliable.

These two adjectives, if applied to Chakravartin, would seem strangely fitting.

Sakura: "Chakravartin... I don't deny that he's powerful."

As for whether it's reliable or not, that depends on Chakravartin's mood.

Chakravartin: "Heh~, don't bring up boring topics with me, don't try to provoke me. Besides Mobius, isn't there another blind man?"

Su: "Although it wasn't unexpected, Chakravartin... I'm glad, at least you weren't blind."

Chapter 161 Who Lied About Claiming to be Fu Hua's Sister?

Durandal: "Senior, aren't you the executor of Hengsha Project? And you can also create Honkai Energy Serum?"

Back in the Sumeru World-Bubble, Durandal witnessed Su's ability to manipulate illusions. She never imagined that the identity of Enlightened One was merely a side job?

Sue: "Theoretically, being a doctor is my primary identity."

Before joining the Fire Moth, Su Ke was a doctor who healed the sick and saved lives. Even after joining the Fire Moth, he remained the director of a research lab.

He was just an ordinary doctor, unlike Chakravartin and the others who possessed great power.

If you're really worried about Mobius, Su is indeed the best choice.

Elysia: "Then this serum formula, which is enough to save countless lives, is yours, Su!"

Su: "Sigh, so in the end I'm the one with the most work?"

Despite saying that, Su still decisively accepted the serum formula that Elysia sent.

Even if it's just for its value in saving countless lives, Su will definitely complete it and deduce the optimal ratio of the serum's effects.

Of course, it would be even better if the other freeloaders could lend a hand.

[In the scene, Raiden Mei is strolling Previous Era Elysian Realm, and this time it is Elysia who approaches her.]

"Did Su always keep her eyes closed when she was with you?"

Elysia asked seriously, "This is a very important matter."
