Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

Spatial abilities are indeed very convenient; even the Honkai Will would never have imagined that Herrscher powers would be used for travel and shopping.

Time flew by and it was evening.

Ziyao strolled along the log path in the manor, a crescent moon hanging high in the sky, casting a cool and enchanting light.

I had a good night's rest last night, and my mental energy has recovered to 90%.

After taking a shower in the bathroom, Ziyao didn't take any change of clothes. Instead, she dried herself off and changed into her shrine maiden outfit.

Similarly, she also brought the amulet she had drawn yesterday.

The shrine maiden outfit adds 2 points to spirit power, and the amulet also adds 2 points. She is very concerned about what the effect will be.

"jingle---"

A breeze blew by, and the bells jingled as they swayed.

I could hear it very clearly, even though there were two walls between us.

When you concentrate, everything in front of you seems to be in slow motion, allowing you to clearly capture all the information.

"The increase is close to 40%."

Ziyao secretly pondered that perhaps if she went a little further ahead, she would be able to create the Xilin doll.

Looking in the mirror, the girl in the mirror was beautiful, and under the moonlight, she had a kind of sacred feeling that could be admired from afar but not touched.

The 2 points of abstinence provided by the amulet perfectly offset the charm effect provided by the shrine maiden's outfit.

I had just taken a shower and was feeling very hot, but after putting on the amulet, I calmed down.

Experiencing a similar state of enlightenment again, Ziyao recalled the regrettable events.

If she weren't a girl and didn't have this frail body, she could definitely have done even better, right?

He can't even hold a gun properly and ended up getting injured. If word gets out, he'll probably be laughed at.

"Sister Ziyao?"

A questioning voice came from behind.

After turning around, Bronya confirmed that the 'witch' was Ziyao.

She had just heard a strange noise and then saw the witch's figure. She thought it was the mysterious person that Seele had mentioned, but she didn't expect it to be Ziyao.

You look beautiful tonight.

Bronya said honestly, unable to resist saying it out loud.

Volume 1: Chapter 218 Mei is a Rich Woman

Five days later, the new base was completely transformed.

Tesla, driving an excavator, sealed the final shovelful of soil, and everything was done.

To celebrate the successful completion of the project and to thank everyone for their hard work, we have decided to hold a small banquet the day after tomorrow.

There was a round table in the small pavilion by the mountains and water, where everyone gathered, chatting and thinking about how to organize tomorrow's banquet.

"So hot."

Tesla has made this complaint many times.

After all, just a few days ago they were in a place with the opposite season, a frigid ice field.

Suddenly, the weather changed from overcast to sunny, and the specially made cold-resistant clothing became the culprit for accumulating heat.

"Why don't you take it off, Dr. Tesla?"

"Don't worry about what others think, just be yourself."

"Never."

And why does taking off a coat make it seem like you're going to be completely naked?

"I've included air conditioning in my budget. It's February now, and although it's not hot, the stuffiness is affecting my mood."

Theresa pondered, thinking about the schedule.

Today is the 12th, and she has to go back to St. Freya to hand over her work in a couple of days.

"Don't the two PhDs need to go back to work at Anti-Entropy?"

Even they have done basic research.

Einstein closed his eyes and said softly, "Yang gave us a holiday under some random excuse until the 16th."

"Huh? Why did it have to be right after Valentine's Day?"

Tesla realized what was happening and his lips twitched.

If my colleagues at Anti-Entropy knew about this perfectly timed return to work, they would definitely misunderstand, right?

"Yes, these kinds of holidays are indeed irrelevant to us."

When Ai opened her eyes, she found that Mei and the others had perked up.

"Doctors, what do you think of this date?"

Mei covered her chest, her voice low.

Kiana straightened her back, listened intently, and secretly kept an eye on Mei's movements.

"I rarely delve into the humanities and social sciences, well, if I had to say something..."

With a pen in hand, Einstein used words to sketch out his imagination and views.

"Isn't Valentine's Day all about giving gifts, going on dates, having fun, then having dinner at a restaurant, and finally checking into a hotel?"

"puff---!"

Tesla nearly choked on his soda because Einstein even demonstrated the stirring motion with a pen.

"It's a date! A date!"

She slammed her hand on the table and said that Theresa and the others, who had little experience, could only listen to what they had to say.

"Tesla is so innocent... It seems that I am the one who is overly mature."

Einstein sighed, subtly taking another jab at the other party under the guise of the situation.

"It's clearly your thinking that's too 'that'."

Tesla turned his head away, took a big gulp of his iced drink, and then complained.

Like Xier and the others, she still had a vague idea about this topic.

Like a beautiful and enchanting poem, the emotions that are praised are too superficial to be simply summarized as desire, which she cannot accept.

“Survival and continuation are instincts etched into our genes. I believe the final step is the perfect combination of memes and genes, which is not only not filthy, but pure and beautiful.”

Einstein interpreted it as self-evident and not something to be overly concerned about.

For example, people wouldn't eat at home with the curtains drawn, and they would blush and feel ashamed talking about it in public...

People must face their desires and needs squarely; suppressing them often backfires.

In layman's terms, it's a bit awkward but actually quite reasonable.

"It feels like I'm in a physiology and health class."

Kiana complained that although she liked the final part, the important thing was how to deepen their relationship.

For example, we've never gone on a date.

The later you confess your feelings, the more likely Mei will overtake you.

"Does Sister Ziyao usually celebrate these kinds of holidays?"

To end the mysterious atmosphere and to comfort the blushing Seele, Bronya changed the subject.

"To celebrate these kinds of holidays, you need to have a partner first..."

Before this, she had always been single.

"Similar holidays exist all over the world, with different customs and traditions, but the one thing they have in common is gift-giving."

"For example, girls in the Far East would give chocolates, while girls in Europe would give flowers or jewelry."

"Has your sister ever given chocolates to anyone?"

Bronya sensed a sense of crisis.

“My ancestral home is in China. In that country, it’s always the men who give gifts, and we don’t need to give them back.”

Ziyao prefers a two-way relationship rather than one-sided giving from either side, so she doesn't really like this aspect.

The girls were more concerned about Ziyao than the two PhDs bickering.

When asked about the marriage and dating situation in her hometown, Ziyao said that it's pretty much the same all over the world.

The only slight difference is that in some places, a bride price must be paid to marry a girl.

"Huh? You have to pay money to get married?"

Upon hearing this, Kiana immediately thought of her own impoverished reality, where she could barely afford even snacks.

"Ziyao, do you need some too?" Theresa nodded, indicating that she had heard Fu Hua mention something similar.

"Well, if you want to marry me, you'll have to pay at least this much."

Ziyao joked, with a hint of teasing, and held up four fingers.

"I give."

Unexpectedly, Mei grabbed Ziyao's hand and asked directly whether she wanted cash or a bank transfer.

For a small amount of money, you can bring home such a lovely and beautiful wife. There's no better deal in the world.

It was only then that everyone remembered that Mei was a rich young lady.

Volume 1: Chapter 219 Their Own Plans

"Idiot, it's not like we're trafficking people."

Ziyao tapped Mei's head and said helplessly.

The money was tempting, but she was by no means a woman who was obsessed with money.
