A Person in Honkai Impact 3rd, My Cheat is Bouncing

If he were to go rescue Sie, Kevin would definitely show up and cause trouble.

This old geezer is as annoying as Otto, that shit-stirrer. He won't stop being a pain unless he gets a good beating.

"Oh, right."

Wadeline seemed to remember something before leaving, saying with a smile:

"Are you free in a week? Can you do me a favor?"

"What favor? If it's too much trouble, then no."

"It's nothing major, just keep an eye on things downstairs for me."

As Wadeline spoke, she tapped the ground with her toe.

"Things?"

Ren Yu blinked, and immediately thought of Wadeline's purpose for being here: "The Moonlight Throne?"

"Yes!"

Wadeline nodded with a smile.

So smart!

Just as I expected from the person I've taken a liking to.

He guessed it right away.

Chapter 16: Fishing

"I have to go out next week, so I'll be leaving the manufacturing plant below to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ren Yu's chin-stroking motion stopped, and he said in surprise, "The plant?!"

Wadeline nodded and held up a finger, slender as an onion, to her lips in a shushing gesture.

"Don't shout so loudly, I can't block out sounds that loud."

Ren Yu grinned and glanced around.

Alright, Ms. Yang, you're really something!

You said you were here to infiltrate, but you've set up a production line right in their lair?

"How long has this been here? Has no one discovered your little scheme?"

"Not long."

Wadeline explained, "Thanks to the director of this academy, I was able to build an underground laboratory of this scale."

"Theresa?"

Ren Yu also recalled.

It seemed Anti-Entropy had indeed been infiltrating St. Freya Academy during this time.

And they had some unspeakable backroom dealings with Theresa, so this must be it.

"Yes, and I've already told her about you."

"..."

Ren Yu found it strange that Theresa had been so calm when he was causing destruction.

So they had been communicating.

After a moment of thought, he slowly said, "Fine, I'll watch it for you. But where are you going? Without you, can the construction of the Moonlight Throne continue?"

Welt must have considered this too, he thought. Welt replied concisely, "It's fine, I'll be back in a few days."

"Where are you going?"

"To participate in the King of Gamblers Competition."

"The King of Gamblers Competition?"

Ren Yu immediately thought of the news he saw this morning and blurted out, "The one in Donghai?"

"Why are you going there? Has Anti-Entropy fallen so low that they need to scam ordinary people for money?"

"..."

Wadeline glared at him, indignant.

"I have important business to attend to there."

"Schicksal is using a shattered Herrscher Core as bait, hoping to lure out a big fish like me who's been lurking for a long time and see what I've been up to recently."

"And according to the information we've obtained, it's highly likely to be the Tranquility Gem."

Ren Yu's mind also conjured up information about Herrscher Cores.

Ever since the Second Honkai Outbreak in 2000, the overinflated pufferfish Herrscher—Sirin—was defeated, and her core shattered into four pieces.

They were:

—Conquering Lightning, Conquering Gem

——Yearning Storm, Yearning Gem

——Tranquility Gem, Tranquility Gem

——Plague Flame, Plague Gem

Except for the Conquering Gem, which is with Anti-Entropy, the other three have fallen into Schicksal's hands.

These things are not simple; they are all related to that elusive Honkai God, which is why Ren Yu said Schicksal went to great lengths.

Besides Schicksal, Anti-Entropy is also vying for these gems.

This is precisely why Otto calculated that Wadeline would definitely appear, thus initiating the so-called "King of Gamblers Competition."

In secret, they had likely dug a trap, just waiting for Wadeline to fall into it.
