Honkai Impact 3: Saving the former civilization by rubbing the black technology

Ai Yue showed an unfathomable expression, "At least he should be better than you."

"Then I would like to ask you something,"

Kosmo's expression suddenly became a little reserved, and he began to choose his words carefully. "If I were to give a gift to a woman... um, around my age, what would be a good choice?"

Chapter 57: Are people with Chuunibyou also qualified to fall in love?

You're confessing yourself, right?

Ai Yue looked at Kosmo, who had a serious expression in front of him, with a subtle look in his eyes.

He was just thinking about how to start the conversation so that Kosmo could confirm his thoughts without being noticed, but he didn't expect that the boy would say it directly.

Who else could be the girl of his age except Desdobia?

Of course, just in case, Ai Yue still wanted to confirm: "The woman you are talking about who is about your age should be Desdobia, right?"

"Is it really too obvious?"

Kosmo scratched his head, a hint of embarrassment on his face, "Why is everyone's first reaction Daisy?"

"Are there any other women of your age besides Desdobia who are close enough to exchange gifts with you?"

Ai Yue couldn't help but roll his eyes. "So you asked other people? What did they say?"

"Well, I asked Boss Kevin, Captain Hen, Doctor Su, and Alicia."

Kosmo recalled carefully, "Boss Kevin said we could give a large stuffed animal, Captain Hen said we could treat him to dinner at a high-end restaurant, and Doctor Su said the most important thing about a gift is the thought behind it, so we could give him a handmade item. Alicia..."

Kosmo scratched his head, a look of confusion on his face. "Alisa said I can give her anything I want. Isn't that strange?"

No, it’s not surprising at all—in fact, this is the most reliable answer.

Of course, we cannot say that other people’s suggestions are wrong. It’s just that everyone provides advice to Kosmo from his own perspective, but these specific suggestions may not be suitable for Kosmo and Desdobia’s situation.

Kevin and Hen's suggestions were obviously based on how they treated their lovers. Su's answer was so standard that it looked like it was copied from a textbook. Although Alicia's answer was almost the same as not saying anything, considering Desdobia's situation, maybe anything can be given.

However, judging by these answers, it seems everyone knows that Destobia's feelings aren't real...

Ai Yue shook his head slightly, silently mourning for the girl's modesty for three seconds, but he didn't say what was in his heart: "By the way, I haven't asked you the purpose of the gift yet?"

"Purpose... oh yes, purpose."

Kosmo was stunned for a moment, then nodded with an expression of agreement. "It seems that you, Dr. Ai Yue, are the first person to ask me the purpose of my gift. You are indeed very experienced."

Is that because others have already seen through you?

Ai Yue suppressed the urge to complain and stared at him silently.

"In short, as for the purpose..."

Under Ai Yue's gaze, Kosmo also became serious, with a thoughtful expression, "Maybe it's to express gratitude?"

Ai Yue's expression didn't change much, he just raised his chin and said, "Tell me in detail."

"That's right. Daisy has been helping me for a long time, whether it was before or now. Including these two teams, she is actually in charge of management most of the time. I'm really not good at this kind of thing."

Kosmo stumbled as he spoke, "So I thought I'd give something back."

"That's it?"

Ai Yue finally couldn't help but frown, "To be honest, don't you have any other ideas?"

Ai Yue certainly wouldn't think that this was what Kosmo was really thinking, because he clearly remembered what happened in the original plot.

Desdobia is a person who likes to leave a deep impression on others by giving them birthday gifts. In this way, even if someone dies in the war, Desdobia can rely on these heavy memories to delay the time of forgetting the other person as much as possible.

But in the original plot, she was the first fusion warrior to sacrifice.

After that, Kosmo continued Desdobia's habit and began to give gifts to other people on her behalf, but this time his purpose was to make others remember Desdobia longer.

Anyone who could make Kosmo do such a thing naturally held a very heavy weight in the other person's heart. Considering the other person's slow character, Ai Yue could only think that Kosmo had not yet discovered his true thoughts.

"What should I say?"

Kosmo pondered, seemingly struggling to describe his thoughts. "Of course it's not just that, but..."

"but?"

"……nothing."

Kosmo held it in for a long time, and finally just shook his head.

"You'll piss me off to death."

Ai Yue rolled his eyes and ultimately decided not to argue with the chuunibyou kid. "You want to give me a gift, right? It's simple. Just combine the suggestions given to you by those people before, and you'll be fine."

"To sum it up?"

Kosmo blinked. "You mean, adopt all of them?"

"Yes, after all, there is no conflict between them."

Ai Yue shrugged. "Look, why don't you make a stuffed bear by hand, then invite Desdobia to a fancy restaurant for dinner, and give her the bear as a gift afterward? Wouldn't that perfectly meet all the suggestions?"

"Dr. Ai Yue, you are truly a genius."

Kosmo thought about it, then sighed sincerely, "It seems to be true."

"Finally, a personal piece of advice,"

Ai Yue continued, "Su is actually right about one thing. The most important thing about a gift is the thought behind it. I don't mind if you don't tell me some things, but if you still can't say them to Desdobia, then it's the same as if they didn't exist. Do you understand?"

"not understand well."

Kosmo responded honestly, and seeing Ai Yue about to glare at him again, he quickly added, "But I will consider your words carefully!"

"That's pretty much it."

Ai Yue sighed, worried about Desdobia's future. "Also, hand over the driver."

"what?"

Kosmo subconsciously covered his lower back and said, "Dr. Ai Yue, I was really wrong. There's no need to confiscate my driver, right?"

Confiscating his driver is no different from taking his life!

"Do I look like a petty person?"

Ai Yue rolled his eyes. "It's a system upgrade. If you don't need it, forget it."

Due to the characteristics of "Vishnu" fused with Kosmo, he has the possibility of unlimited growth. In this case, Ai Yue cannot temporarily limit the evolution of the Honkai Beast gene in his body through super-mutation weapons. Therefore, as compensation, he can only give him an additional system upgrade to prevent Kosmo from being left too far behind by others.

"Yes, yes, yes, of course!"

Kosmo quickly stuffed the armor driver into Ai Yue's hand and came over. "Well, Dr. Ai Yue, I have a few ideas about armor upgrades..."

Chapter 58 You have also evolved into your brother.

Although he was unable to help Desdobia confirm Kosmo's intentions in the end, Ai Yue still found out the other party's plan.

"You mean, Amo plans to give me a gift on his day off next week?"

After Desdobia finished her physical examination, Ai Yue found an excuse to get Kosmo away and told Desdobia the news.

"That's what he planned."

Ai Yue shrugged. "So remember to make time for it. I think he plans to tell you last minute."

"I didn't have any plans anyway, and we basically stayed together even during our breaks."

Desdobia played with the hair that fell by her ears, her cheeks slightly red. "Thank you, Dr. Ai Yue."

"You're welcome. After all, I also hope that guy can come to his senses sooner."

Ai Yue shrugged. "Although I gave him some advice, it's hard to say whether this guy can wake up. If not, I can only use this last resort."

"The last resort?"

Desdobia looked at him curiously, "Do you have any other ideas?"

"You should know that some people only learn to cherish things after they lose them."

Ai Yue said in a very sinister tone, "So I will use my power to separate you two for ten days or half a month. Then he will know how important you are."

As a result, Desdobia subconsciously shook her head: "How can that be possible!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

After a moment, Ai Yue looked at the blushing Desdobia and couldn't help but reveal a strange expression: "So, it's you who can't leave him, right?"

Daisy Dobia covered her face in a cowardly manner and nodded.

No, sister, why are you still a love-brained person?

"It's my fault. I haven't considered things comprehensively enough."

Ai Yue sighed. For the first time, he felt that it was so difficult to match young couples. "But it doesn't matter. What if he finally gets it this time?"

"I'm back, Dr. Ai Yue!"

As Ai Yue finished speaking, Kosmo came back excitedly: "The armor's paint job can really be changed at will, that's awesome! Can I come back and change it later?"

Daisy Dobia looked at Ai Yue silently, and Ai Yue sighed: "Okay, I take back what I said just now."

After bidding farewell to this young couple who didn't know when they would finally get married, Prometheus also produced the results of the blood sample analysis.

What’s interesting is that the situations of Kosmo and Desdobia are different from the previous cases. Although the stigmata factor was detected from the expressions of both of them, the content was very low.

However, the reasons for the two people are different.

Ai Yue has read Desdobia's combat record. She was basically responsible for clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers in the Scar Team. In addition, she had the protection of Kosmo, so the number of dangers she experienced was relatively limited. If we follow the previous inference, then it is more reasonable that the content of the Stigma Factor is low.

Kosmo's situation is rather strange, because not only is the content of his stigma factor low, but it cannot be extracted from blood samples.

Ai Yue tried various methods, and finally found that the holy mark factor in Kosmo's blood was "entangled" with the Honkai beast gene in his body in a very strange form, which could be described as "indistinguishable from each other".

It's like spilling water on the beach. You can clearly observe the traces of water, but there is no way to separate it from the sand.

It can be said that this is a situation that has never happened before, so when Ai Yue first discovered this, he thought that there was something wrong with his previous inference.

Since there is no suitable way to preserve the stigma factor so far, the stigma factor completely dissipated during Ai Yue's repeated attempts. Therefore, Ai Yue finally called Kosmo back and drew a tube of blood, and finally figured out what was going on.

The root of the matter lies in the ability of "Vishnu" to devour the genes of other Honkai beasts and thus evolve a second time. This ability enables it to grow from the initial "Emperor-level" Honkai beast all the way to a level beyond the "Judgment-level". Naturally, it is an extremely powerful and strange ability.

It was at this time that Ai Yue discovered that this characteristic of "Vishnu" could even be effective against the stigma factor.

In other words, the Honkai Beast gene in Kosmo's body is devouring his Stigma Factor, which is why the number of Stigma Factors in Kosmo's body is so abnormally small.

But this is not the whole secret of Kosmo's body, because if that were the case, then with the strength of the "Vishnu" gene, the stigmata factor in his body should not be distributed like this.

In fact, the reason why Ai Yue used the word "entanglement" to describe the current state of the two is because this word is extremely appropriate. What entanglement describes is certainly not a unilateral phenomenon of swallowing up, but rather a state of "you in me, me in you" that arises between the two sides in the constant confrontation and tug-of-war.

In other words, it is not Vishnu's genes that are unilaterally devouring the stigmata factors, but the stigmata factors are also trying to assimilate Vishnu's genes.

Ai Yue had to work until the next day to figure out the complete information of the Honkai Beast gene in Kosmo's body.

According to the analysis results, the Honkai Beast gene in Kosmo's body showed a new evolutionary trend, which was completely different from all the evolutionary trends he had previously shown due to swallowing the Honkai Beast gene.

If this is the new trend caused by the entanglement with the stigma factor, then if this evolutionary trend can be guided, Kosmo may have a chance to completely get rid of the negative effects caused by the superposition of excessive super-mutation and Vishnu genes.

You know, among all the people who have undergone super-change, Kosmo is the second most unstable. The uncontrollable consequences that may occur to him are second only to Alicia, who has the identity of "Herrscher".

If he really succumbs to the influence of Vishnu's genes and evolves infinitely by devouring Honkai beasts, then the worst result is that the human part of Kosmo will gradually disappear in the process until it disappears completely, and finally he will become a brand new "Vishnu".

It's like adding honey to water. If you only add a few spoonfuls of honey to a glass of water, it is a glass of honey water. But if you add more than ten or twenty cups of honey to a glass of water, it is just honey mixed with a little water. If you double the amount of honey until the proportion of water is negligible, then it is pure honey.

It was precisely to avoid this situation that Ai Yue had never mentioned the matter of super-mutated weapons to Kosmo, but the new discovery now could completely reverse this situation.

If the stigma factor can completely devour the Vishnu gene in Kosmo's body and replace it as Kosmo's source of power, then even if this stigma factor also has the ability to "devour and evolve", can it prevent Kosmo from becoming an uncontrollable monster one day?

Chapter 59 This is the attack effect with red BUFF.

Stigmata are a very wonderful thing.

Not only does it have the ability to help humans resist the erosion of Honkai, but it can also serve as a medium to allow humans to master the dangerous power of Honkai. What's even more amazing is that even if the basic components are similar, the stigmata will exhibit different abilities in different people.
