My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

"Good guy!"

Luo Meng completed the discharge procedures for Luo Chen and took him to Changguang's research institute.

"You're quite a strange little guy."

In the laboratory, Changguang and Qingye Chuxue were looking at Luo Chen's physical report, their expressions becoming quite interesting.

"You can actually absorb the energy of the Tranquil Gem."

Chang Guang scrutinized Luo Chen, his eyes revealing the fervor unique to researchers, as if he wanted to dissect Luo Chen for study.

Luo Chen felt a sudden chill and hid behind Luo Meng, trembling, which made everyone in the laboratory laugh.

"Just kidding."

Changguang chuckled and pressed a button beside him. The table in the center of the laboratory lowered, revealing a strangely shaped device.

"This device was manufactured by my technical department to detect the Honkai energy in your body."

Following Chang Guang's instructions, Luo Chen placed his hand into the groove of the machine, while Chang Guang adjusted the machine beside him.

"Introduce your Honkai energy into the machine."

Upon receiving Luo Chen's Honkai energy, the machine roared and the indicator light on top flashed.

"Interesting. It actually matches the energy of so many Herrschers. Herrscher of Thunder, Herrscher of Erosion, and the energy in the Tranquility Gem. You could say it's a perfect Honkai energy container."

Upon hearing Changguang's words, Luo Chen shuddered, seemingly guessing the reason why Otto indulged him so much.

'What exactly is he trying to do? Isn't Otto's ultimate goal to become a false god and then ascend to heaven?'

Luo Chen bid farewell to Chang Guang and left the research institute with Luo Meng, leaving Chang Guang and Qingye Chuxue to continue their research. As soon as he stepped out of the institute's gate, he saw Amber standing in front of it.

"Mr. Luo Chen, His Holiness the Bishop requests your presence."

Amber cut to the chase. Luo Chen's heart sank; he had no choice but to follow Amber to Otto's office.

"Your Majesty Bishop."

"How was your rest?"

"Thanks to you, I have recovered."

"That's good."

Otto pointed to the chair in front of his desk, gesturing for Luo Chen to sit down. Once Luo Chen was seated, Otto took out a test tube and placed it on the table.

Luo Chen became nervous when he saw the test tube that was originally in his pocket, and inadvertently revealed a flustered expression.

"Don't panic."

Otto leaned back in his chair, squinted, and said, "I won't ask you where this test tube came from; I just want to make a deal with you."

Chapter 71 Entering the game

Silence fell in the office as Luo Chen pondered the meaning of Otto's words, but ultimately came up empty-handed.

"Do I have a choice?"

Otto smiled without saying a word, pushed the test tube in front of Luo Chen, and picked up the metal box that was placed to the side, opening it in front of Luo Chen. Inside was a syringe and a small test tube containing a red liquid. There was also a groove that matched the size of the test tube on the table.

"I had someone analyze the contents of the test tube. It can stimulate the body's potential for a short time, but the side effect is that the user will be unable to use Honkai energy for a period of time, and the body's functions will be damaged to some extent."

Otto took out a small test tube from the box and played with it in his hand: "I suggest you inject the contents of this test tube; it will have an immediate effect. And when used with this, it will work perfectly. This is one of the rewards for the trade."

Two items were placed in front of Luo Chen, but he didn't reach for them. Luo Chen understood that while he might have the life to take what Otto gave him, he might not live to use it.

"Don't worry, I'm doing this as a friend."

Otto saw through Luo Chen's thoughts and tried to comfort him. But Luo Chen interpreted this as an attempt to force him.

"What does Your Excellency need me to do?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Luo Chen simply went along with Otto to complete the deal. He figured that as long as it didn't harm himself or those around him, running errands was no big deal.

"It's not a big problem."

Otto shrugged and said in a light tone, "I just need you to help me gather some intelligence."

"What information?"

"The intelligence department recently reported that an organization called [Snake] is operating in the shadows, and I need your help to investigate them."

“I don’t think I have the ability to help the bishop gather information.”

"This is only a small part of the deal. The rest is not the time yet."

Luo Chen couldn't figure out what Otto was thinking, but for his own safety, he had no choice but to agree to his request.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you. Amber, please take Luo Chen back for me."

Luo Chen took the box from the table, said goodbye to Otto, and quickly left the office, not wanting to stay for even a moment longer.

"Brother, you're back."

Luo Meng turned to look at Luo Chen, then turned back to scroll through her phone with complete concentration, occasionally letting out a laugh.

"What are you looking at?"

Luo Chen leaned closer to take a look, but Luo Meng slapped him away.

"It's nothing. And don't you know you shouldn't look at other people's phones?"

"Oh."

Just then, Luo Chen's phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Mei calling. He hurriedly ran to his room before answering.

"Mei, why are you calling me?"

"Are you injured?"

Luo Meng could hear the worry in Mei Yi's tone and could already imagine what her expression would be at this moment.

"No, it's just a minor injury."

"The class monitor has already told me."

"Fuck!"

Luo Chen cursed under his breath, thinking about how to lie, when Mei's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "She said you were unconscious and that you had some health problems. I'm worried..."

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back in half a month."

Luo Chen had no other choice but to whisper words of comfort to her, and his longing for Mei reached its peak.

"What is your relationship with that Durandal?"

Mei changed the subject, and Luo Chen was initially relieved, but after hearing what she said, he felt guilty.

“I saw a photo of you and her standing very close together on the Destiny Headquarters forum.”

Seeing that Luo Chen remained silent for a long time, Mei spoke with a hint of jealousy, wanting Luo Chen to explain clearly.

Knowing he couldn't escape it, Luo Chen took a deep breath and then exhaled, explaining the whole story to Mei, hoping she could give him some advice.

After hearing this outrageous story, Mei fell silent. On one hand, she was amazed that Bianca's aggressive style was so similar to her own; on the other hand, she was relieved that Bianca hadn't reached base completely, meaning Luo Chen's first blood would still be hers!

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"I do not know."

Mei knew Luo Chen would say that. Knowing Luo Chen as she did, all she had to do at this time was to be even more of a slacker than him.

"You have to figure it out yourself."

Mei hung up the phone and sat on the edge of the bed, puffing out her cheeks and sulking. Even though she had prepared herself mentally, Mei still couldn't help but feel unhappy when she heard about it.

"If you don't keep a closer eye on him, Luo Chen might run off with someone else."

The Herrscher of Thunder gloated in Mei's mind. Instead of trying to persuade Mei to accept her power, she kept talking about the fantasy of Luo Chen being with other girls.

"Noisy!"

Mei scoffed lightly, then said with great authority, "My affairs with him are none of your business."

"Really? Then don't regret it later."

The Herrscher of Thunder's voice disappeared from Mei's mind. Its mocking tone made Mei very uncomfortable, and she desperately wanted Luo Chen to come back right now.

"Mei, I'm going to see Kiana. Want to come along?"

There was a knock on the door, and Fu Hua's voice came from outside. Mei responded, put on her coat, and went out of the room to go to the hospital with Fu Hua.

In the hospital room, Kiana suddenly screamed and sat up in bed, startling everyone around her.

"Kiana, you're finally awake."

Everyone gathered around the bed, their faces showing relief.

"What happened? Wasn't I on a mission? How did I get here?"

"You lost consciousness during the mission due to a powerful Honkai energy shock. Fortunately, Fu Hua brought you back; you should thank her properly."

Fu Hua leaned silently against the wall, and seeing that Kiana had regained consciousness, she quietly left the ward.

In the corridor, Otto stood by the window, admiring the scenery outside. Hearing Fu Hua's footsteps, he turned and smiled, "Congratulations on completing the mission. Although her power is far inferior to the Second Herrscher, she is now able to use the abilities of the gems."

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Hua's fist appeared in front of Otto. She looked at him coldly and said, "Luo Chen was someone you specifically sent. What exactly do you intend to do with him to absorb the energy from the gem?"
