The members naturally referred to Dr. Mei and Mebius. While their all-around capabilities might not surpass Velvie's, in specific aspects, they were absolutely on par with her.
Upon hearing this, Velvie felt no fear, only a desire to meet these geniuses who were her equals as soon as possible.
"I'm actually quite curious how genius these geniuses you speak of are. I hope they don't end up being defeated by me in their strongest fields."
Because she was Velvie, she had the confidence to say this. Because she was Velvie, she believed she could achieve it.
"Then we shall see. I look forward to your performance, Big V Teacher."
"Seriously, what kind of nickname is 'Big V Teacher'? I could understand 'V Teacher,' but why add 'Big'?"
Velvie could never understand this.
Chang Yuan couldn't possibly explain it and could only sigh inwardly, realizing Velvie wasn't fully aware of her own strength.
"It's an intimate nickname between friends, don't worry about the details."
Chang Yuan waved his hand, not daring to explain further, fearing he'd be beaten by Big V Teacher the next second.
Even though he wasn't afraid of most modern weaponry now, who knew what strange and unusual things Big V Teacher might pull out? What if something could counter him?
After all, Big V Teacher always kept a backup plan. For example, she had developed a weapon specifically for Kevin, in case he lost control and needed to be disciplined.
He had reason to suspect that Velvie was already secretly researching a weapon against Chang Yuan.
"Alright, I'll grudgingly accept that explanation. Now, you should leave quickly. I need to return to Twilight Street, and I'll come find you again when I'm 90% confident."
With that, Velvie began to usher him out.
Seeing that his objective had been achieved, Chang Yuan didn't linger any longer.
He waved goodbye to Velvie.
Upon returning to Flame-Chasing Moth, Chang Yuan was already considering how to gather all the council members.
His position as vice-captain wasn't enough, nor was even Airi's captain position.
Although Flame-Chasing Moth was established through the cooperation of various continental high-level officials, making captain positions hold considerable status on each continent, in reality, they were merely positions that those high-level officials could easily bestow.
Therefore, they held no real power, making it even more impossible to convene the council members unless he had a more significant matter.
Chang Yuan didn't ponder this issue further and instead chose to build a good relationship with Mebius first.
Of course, all of this was done after Chang Yuan gave the second Divine Key to Airi.
"Hmm, this bow isn't cute at all. It does fit your handsomeness, Chang Yuan."
Upon receiving the second Divine Key, Airi's first action was to complain that the bow and arrow didn't match her as a beautiful maiden.
Instead, she felt that Chang Yuan, as a boy, was more suited for this bow.
"But my archery skills aren't good, so you're the most suitable for this bow right now."
"Fine, I'll make do with it for now. Does this bow and arrow have a name?"
"Erm, it's called Bow That Tilts the Heavens?"
"Mhm, I didn't expect your talent for naming things to be quite good, Chang Yuan. I'll call it Bow That Tilts the Heavens."
Airi was also very satisfied with this name.
Drawing the bow and tilting the heavens with an arrow truly fit the current mission of saving the world.
After a brief conversation with Airi, Chang Yuan then left to find Mebius.
"Hmm? Oh, it's Vice-Captain Chang Yuan. Is there something you need at Dr. Mebius's laboratory?"
Seeing Chang Yuan arrive at the laboratory, Blanca inquired.
"I'd like to see Dr. Mebius. Do you know where she is right now?"
Seeing a familiar stranger, Chang Yuan asked with a faint smile.
"You've come at just the right time. The Doctor has been conducting experiments for several days straight, and she's currently eating and resting in her office. The Doctor's private office is at the end of this corridor."
Hearing that Chang Yuan was looking for Mebius, Blanca was a little surprised at first, but she didn't ask for specifics.
She then pointed Chang Yuan in the right direction.
After getting the specific location, Chang Yuan nodded slightly to Blanca to express his gratitude.
He then headed straight for Mebius's office.
Knock, knock, knock!
"Who is it! Didn't I say not to bother me during my rest period?"
Before Chang Yuan could even open the door, he was immediately met with a reprimand from Mebius.
This made Chang Yuan's mouth twitch.
However, Mebius inside then said, "The door isn't locked, come in yourself. State your business and leave immediately."
Seeing this, Chang Yuan then opened the door and walked in.
"Hello, Dr. Mebius. I am Chang Yuan, the vice-captain of the first squad."
"Tsk, didn't you understand what I said? If you have something to say, say it. If not, don't disturb my rest."
Upon hearing this self-introduction, Mebius waved her hand impatiently and said.
Seeing this, Chang Yuan was helpless. This was nothing like what Blanca had said. He had completely walked into a trap.
"Dr. Mobius, if I say I understand 90% of the Honkai's essence, then... will you still be in such a hurry to kick me out?"
After saying this, Chang Yuan's eyes met Mebius'.
Hearing Chang Yuan's words, Mebius, as a researcher, didn't immediately believe him. Instead, she frowned and looked at him.
"Are you willing to guarantee what you just said?"
"I'll stake my life on it. I can guarantee that at least 90% of what I said is true."
"...Tell me, what do you need me for?"
Only then did Mebius stop her initial impatience and treat Chang Yuan seriously.
"I want to invite you to save humanity with me. But before that, we must remove the tumor from Flame-Chasing Moth."
"...You should be glad this office doesn't have listening devices. Otherwise, with just that sentence, you might be dead by tomorrow."
Hearing Chang Yuan speak so carelessly, Mebius' tone became unusually serious.
She naturally knew who or what Chang Yuan was referring to as the tumor.
But precisely because she knew, she dared to call Chang Yuan bold.
To say something like that was practically throwing his life away.
"In the future I saw, humanity was utterly defeated. Although that group of tumors wasn't primarily responsible, they bore the vast majority of the secondary responsibility.
To prevent such an apocalyptic future from coming to pass, I must eradicate those tumors before they can harm all of humanity.
That's why I came to Dr. Mobius. You are a great help to me."
