After I V-brother Zheng 50

Originally, he had prepared himself for the possibility of directly confronting the local North American government, or for the possibility that the 'psychotropic crystal' itself was shady and he would have to suppress it by force.

As for the result...

"The fact that this trip went so smoothly has saved me a lot of trouble."

In the past dozen or so hours, Qin Yu, who had already successfully obtained the 'psychotropic crystal', not only learned about its general usage through the 'absolute dominance' of the Twelve Golden Men, but also plundered a large amount of common resources within the world of Chronicle.

For example: seawater, sunlight, air... and so on.

"Thank goodness it wasn't flowers, trees, or the sky..."

Well, I've gone off on a tangent.

In short, for the past two months, Qin Yu has been constantly mindful of various 'perspectives' in the Honkai world, and since a suitable new world coordinate has not yet been found, he has essentially no 'way out' while trying his best to avoid bringing any potential 'source of disaster' to his home planet Earth...

Therefore, he has never been able to summon the Twelve Golden Men in their entirety so easily.

In this way, the efficiency of secretly absorbing these natural entities using only the 'partial summoning' mode cannot be significantly improved.

But now it's different.

Although he has already obtained the greatest 'treasure' inside the Chronicle world, this world... its spatial coordinates are, for Qin Yu at this stage, an excellent cross-dimensional refuge where he can 'successfully escape' in most predicaments, even desperate situations.

With it, Qin Yu can be much bolder in doing many things in the future.

"It's a pity that my self-controlled time travel ability can't be stored up for more uses."

"otherwise……"

indeed.

If Qin Yu had a constant opportunity to travel between worlds, instead of waiting for the long 24-hour cooldown period, he would probably go from 'bold' to 'unscrupulous'.

However, one should know how to be content.

Before, I was just an ordinary citizen.

Now, thanks to the extraordinary powers bestowed by the 'Tiger Tally,' he has made his life experience exceptionally wonderful.

There's really nothing to complain about.

"Anyway, as long as my overall strength is improved, I won't be afraid of the consequences of 'causing trouble'."

That's what he thought.

And they have high expectations for their future.

******

It was more than an hour later when Qin Yu and Alicia drove back to the First Research Institute.

The institute is very quiet nowadays.

After all, it was late at night.

Most people are already asleep... Oh, no, wait.

Mebius and her liver-dead assistant Klein are still staying up all night.

Therefore, when a car headlight flashed by, they immediately noticed Qin Yu and Alicia's return.

at the moment……

"These two guys are making progress really fast."

Mebius stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, his eyes slightly narrowed, and muttered this to himself.

They went out together, and then didn't return for a day and a night.

What exactly happened during that time... is undoubtedly easy for people to unconsciously start to fill in all sorts of imaginary scenarios.

"But I always feel like it's impossible for Alicia to just get together with a man she's only known for a short time so easily... wait?"

At this moment, she had just advanced the production process for the 'Eighth Divine Key' to the next stage, while Dr. Mei, who had worked with her, had already gone to rest.

The latter are, after all, ordinary people, and do not have the resilient bodies of Heroic-level Fusion Warriors.

Uh, you're saying Klein is just an ordinary person?

This conversation just won't go on (annoying).

In short, this is a rare moment of leisure for Mebius.

She had just ordered a can of hot coffee from a vending machine, but before she could even drink it, her attention was drawn to the scene outside.

She vaguely heard...

"Huh? Is it really such a fun ability?"

"Yeah, if we're sure it won't conflict with your current constitution, should we get you a copy too?"

"Thank you so much!"

"After all, I really want to try the feeling of flying freely!"

……

Downstairs, along with the sound of the car door closing, came the sound of Qin Yu and Alicia talking.

For a time...

"?"

Mebius looked completely bewildered.

These two guys...

What are they talking about?

Ability? Physical constitution? Are there any conflicts?

Free flight?

This……

Mebius had to admit that she had been completely intrigued by the brief conversation they had just had.

Snake's intuition told her that what Qin Yu and Alicia were talking about... that seemingly random topic definitely involved something she had always cared about.

So, she, who had originally only planned to finish the can of hot coffee in the corridor to refresh herself before returning to the lab to "squeeze" Klein, suddenly stopped herself in her tracks.

Before long, the sound of laughter and conversation grew closer...

"Speaking of telekinesis, I used to have a good friend who's an expert in this field?"

"Is the friend you're talking about named Desdovia?"

"Huh? You know her?"

"Of course, I'm quite familiar with her... um, by the way, not in the past tense, but in the present continuous tense!"

"Hey! You mean..."

The silhouettes of Qin Yu and Alicia had already appeared in Mebius's field of vision.

At that moment, as the two of them stepped out of the shadows and faced the moonlight streaming in through the side window, Mebius could clearly see that Alicia had a look of surprise on her face.

Qin Yu, on the other hand, looked at the latter with feigned mystery, a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, as if his words were implying something.

Just then...

"Oh, Dr. Möbius."

Alicia was so shocked by some news... or rather, speculation, that she only belatedly realized the presence of another familiar face in the corridor.

She immediately interrupted her conversation with Qin Yu, turned to Möbius, and asked with a playful smile, "You stayed up late again tonight..."

"Scientists really have a tough job."

"It's so late, you must be very tired."

Remember to get some rest early!

She spoke rapidly, as if firing off a machine gun, seemingly not intending to give Mebius a chance to reply.

At the same time, she took Qin Yu's arm and, with this very intimate gesture, pulled him to quicken his pace.

"We won't bother you anymore?"

She said that.

however……

"and many more!"

At that moment, Mebius, with her arms crossed, took a step to the side, and with a thud of her heels hitting the floor, she blocked their path.

What were you talking about just now?

What...did she just hear?

Telekinesis? Desdobia? Are you familiar with her?

Is it in the present continuous tense?

At that moment, although Mebius was asking Alicia a question, her gaze was fixed intently on Qin Yu.

Regarding this...

"You want to know?"

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Seeing a slight change in Möbius's expression...

But I don't want to tell you.

"..."

Chapter Eighteen: The Difference Between 'Friends' and 'Allies'

Without a doubt, Mebius was a man who cared a lot about his image.

But at the same time, she is also a person with a high IQ.

Therefore, when she heard Qin Yu deliberately say those words that conveyed a sense of distance, she simply sneered and then turned and left.

She didn't want to have pointless arguments with anyone else in front of Alicia (emphasis added).
