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

"The monitoring circuits in Training Area C malfunctioned due to the Herrscher of Knowledge's intrusion. We've been on holiday these past few days, so they haven't been repaired." Prometheus sighed. "You told me before that Padophilis had great luck. I've always had a hard time understanding the concept of luck, but now I finally have a vague idea."

Ai Yue was not surprised by this - Padfils's good luck could even work on the Cocoon of the End, let alone an artificial intelligence?

As he spoke, he had already pushed open the training room that Padofelice was using. In the empty space, a girl with short flaxen hair was lying on the ground. She was sweating all over and gasping for breath. It was obvious that she had gone through a series of fierce battles.

Not far from her, a scarred training robot also fell to the ground, obviously it had also experienced some torture.

Seeing someone coming in, Padufils took a subconscious look at first. After finding out that the person was Ai Yue, she immediately turned around and faced Ai Yue with her back, as if she still had some resentment about what happened before.

"Are you still angry?" Ai Yue picked up a towel from the shelf nearby, walked over, sat down, and helped the girl wipe the sweat off her face and neck. "I was wrong about this. I apologize to you. Will you forgive me?"

"I'm not angry," Padufils said angrily, trying to get away from Ai Yue. However, she was exhausted and was held down by Ai Yue, so she could only wriggle around on the ground like a caterpillar. "Brother Yue, you idiot!"

How could she bear to be angry with Ai Yue? From beginning to end, Padufilis was only angry with herself.

I was angry that I was too weak and had no way to help Ai Yue, and I had to ask Ai Yue to consider a way out for me in advance. In this way, not only could I not help at all, but I became a burden.

Padufilis, who once struggled to survive alone on Dusk Street, knew very well that living with a burden was a terrible thing.

She was not worried that Ai Yue would abandon her, but precisely because of this, she could not enjoy his protection with peace of mind.

If only I could be a little more useful, even if it was just to stop people from worrying...

"Okay, stop being so stubborn and let's go back." Ai Yue forcibly held down the struggling Padufils and picked her up. "Some things can't be forced, Padu."

"Brother Yue, what do you mean?" Padofelice raised her head and glared at Ai Yue, her face flushed with anger. "I won't stay this weak forever! I don't want to be a burden to you!"

"Pado." Hearing this, Ai Yue suddenly became serious. He put Pado down, looked into her eyes, and said seriously, "You have never been a burden. You are my anchor. Do you understand?"

Perhaps because the system was too powerful, Ai Yue often had a sense of illusion that he was living in a game. When that feeling appeared, he would easily ignore the feelings of others and forget that everyone in this world had his own unique life and was not just some data used to decorate the world.

Every time this happened, Ai Yue's memory of when he first came to this world and was rescued by Padfils reminded him not to get lost in that powerful force.

At that time, Ai Yue had not yet been able to use the system's capabilities to live a good life, so the two of them often shared cans of food, fought for the only quilt that could keep them warm, and took shelter from the rain together under a bridge. Although these were all very difficult memories, thinking about them now makes people happy.

However, Padofelice obviously could not understand Ai Yue's complicated psychological activities. She just nodded half-heartedly, while thinking in her mind what "cat dots" were.

"No more talking, go back and take a shower." Ai Yue took this opportunity to disrupt Padufilis's thoughts and pushed her out. "I'll take you to eat something delicious later."

But then again, at this point, we should really plan how to improve the overall strength of the Fire Moth.

While Ai Yue was helping Padufils, whose legs were weak, out of the training area, he was outlining a new plan in his mind.

Chapter 3 They All Care

Although the Fire Moth is an organization that fights against Honkai, the atmosphere at its headquarters does not always maintain a tense state of war. In order to relieve everyone's stress on weekdays, the Fire Moth has also built many facilities for relaxation and entertainment.

For example, the banquet hall used for holding dances is a large building. In addition to the largest main hall, there are many sub-halls. If someone wants to use this place to hold an event, they just need to submit an application and they can use it after it is approved.

The dinner party that Alicia held exclusively for the fusion warriors was held in one of the secondary halls. It was far away from the dance party in the main hall, so there was no need to worry about it being affected.

By the time Ai Yue brought Padufils to the dinner, almost everyone was there.

"Hey, isn't this our protagonist today? He's finally here?"

Alicia, who was standing by the door to greet the guests, was wearing a maid outfit and winked at Padufils playfully. "Isn't this little Padu? It's been a long time since we last met."

"Sister Ellie!" As soon as Padofelice saw Alicia, she immediately ran over and ignored Ai Yue, "I missed you so much!"

Not only do fusion fighters and ordinary soldiers live in different areas, but they also perform very different tasks. In addition, their daily routines are also different, so even if they are in the same base on weekdays, they rarely have the opportunity to meet each other.

After all, not everyone can be like Ai Yue, who has nothing better to do than go to the ordinary soldiers' canteen to eat.

While the two were still chatting, Ai Yue walked straight in. The scale of the dinner was not large, and there were no more than twenty people inside, but the decoration was very warm. It was obvious that Alicia had put a lot of effort into it in the past two days.

"Dr. Ai Yue, this way!"

Ai Yue was still looking around at the door when his attention was drawn to a voice. Hen was standing in the dessert area on the left, waving at him with a smile.

Beside him stood a woman with shoulder-length silver hair, and in Hen's arms was a little girl who was trying hard to grab the donut but was always just a little short of it because of her father's restraint.

The girl looks to be about five or six years old, but the father is still reluctant to let go. It is obvious that he loves his daughter very much.

"This is my wife, Blanca." When Ai Yue approached, Hen happily introduced the people around him. "Although she has a sinecure now, she was once a senior researcher at the First Research Institute and an assistant to Dr. Mobius!"

"Hello, Dr. Ai Yue." Blanca was beautiful and had a gentle smile. She was clearly a devoted wife and mother. She bowed slightly towards Ai Yue as a greeting. "Thank you for your contribution to this war and for ensuring that our son Hen returned safely from the battlefield."

"Hello." Ai Yue also nodded in greeting. "I can't end the war alone. Hen's role is also crucial."

"Oh, why are you talking about that?" Hen was a little embarrassed. It seemed that for him, not playing much of a role on the battlefield was a very embarrassing thing. "Well, and this is our precious daughter, Grace. Come, Grace, say hello to Dr. Ai Yue~"

Hen reached out and grabbed one of Grace's arms and waved it, probably to greet her on behalf of his daughter, while Blanca considerately picked up the donut that she had been craving for and put it into the girl's hand.

Only after she grabbed the donut did the girl finally regain her focus. She raised her head, looked at the young man in front of her, and waved the donut in her hand: "Dr. Ai Yue...Brother."

"Just call me Brother Ai Yue." Ai Yue smiled and waved to Gresh, while pulling out a beautiful crystal pendant from his pocket. "It's our first meeting, so I don't have anything to prepare. This little gift is for you."

"How can this be done..."

Blanca subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, it was not nice to accept a gift from someone on the first meeting. But Hen quickly took it and then happily put it around Gresh's neck: "Thanks, Dr. Ai Yue. Come on, Gresh, put it on and let Dad see if it looks good!"

Ai Yue did not disturb the happy life of this family anymore. He just glanced at the three people again and turned away.

You can still vaguely hear the conversation between the couple.

"What's wrong with you? How can you be so rude?"

"Oh, what do you know? Dr. Ai Yue is not a stingy person, and he is super powerful. Anything he can give away must be good!"

As someone who had personally experienced the weapons produced by Ai Yue, Hen naturally understood Ai Yue's level. Moreover, this crystal pendant looked extraordinary and was a perfect match for his daughter!

Grace didn't comment, but seeing how she held the crystal pendant with both hands and didn't even care if the donut fell to the ground, she probably liked it very much.

Of course, no food was wasted tonight, and the food that his daughter didn't want would naturally be taken care of by her father.

Listening to the conversation behind him, Ai Yue finally couldn't help but smile.

In the original plot, Blanca would fall into a dream created by the Eighth Herrscher and eventually die of organ failure. Although Gresh survived until the dream was broken, she was still on the verge of death, forcing Mebius to perform the Fusion Warrior surgery on her despite everyone's dissuasion to save her life.

However, even though Grace was lucky enough to survive thanks to the fusion warrior surgery, the top leaders of the Fire Moth were afraid of the strange abilities she displayed and eventually exiled her to the deepest depths.

If she hadn't received Aponia's care there, it would have been difficult for Grace, a little girl less than ten years old, to survive in such a place.

And there is Desdobia. As a psychic-perception fusion warrior, she must have played a crucial role in the original battle, and that is why she sacrificed herself.

But none of this happened. The family of three still lived together warmly, and Kosmo did not lose the person who was very important to him - because Ai Yue changed everything that would have happened.

It is indeed a wonderful experience to see people who should have died still alive. Even if no one knows what happened, even if no one can tell the credit for this achievement, Ai Yue is still happy for his efforts.

Children can still grow up happily with the company of their parents, and ignorant boys and girls will have the opportunity to build deeper relationships in the future. What a wonderful thing.

This is probably the meaning of his traveling to this world.

Chapter 4: Treasures from the Ancient Times, Now Free

After saying goodbye to the Grexiu family, Ai Yue soon met the second beneficiary.

"Hello, Dr. Ai Yue!"

The energetic girl Desdobia dragged Kosmo over and greeted him while handing him an exquisitely wrapped box: "This is a gift for you!"

"For me?" Ai Yue raised his eyebrows and took it. "Thank you. I haven't received a gift in a long time."

"Actually, it should be considered a meeting gift, but everyone was busy preparing Captain Kevin's birthday party, so I didn't have time to prepare it." Desdobia nudged Kosmo with her elbow. "Hurry up and open it. I wonder if you'll like it."

"I chose the gift, Dr. Aiyue," Kosmo finally said. "Daisy said that as a man, I might be more understanding of your preferences. But I'm not good at giving gifts. If you don't like it, I can change it..."

He couldn't finish the rest of the sentence because he was interrupted by Desdobia's elbow.

The girl couldn't help but roll her eyes at him - Stupid Kosmo, you don't say such things when giving a gift!

After opening the package, Ai Yue took out a box of...assembly models.

"This is a mecha-themed model that's very popular recently, and it's a limited edition with a different color. It's very handsome, but also hard to get..." Kosmo introduced it while observing Ai Yue's expression, "Uh, don't you like it?"

"It's just a little unexpected." Ai Yue stroked the pattern on the box with a subtle expression, "I didn't expect that I still couldn't escape after getting here."

As expected, there are always some dog companies that use toys to cheat people out of money in every world... Don’t you agree, Generation X?

"Anyway, I like it very much." Ai Yue put it aside for the time being and reached into his pocket again. "Also, since I'm taking this opportunity, I'll just give you these two things."

As he spoke, he took out two things that looked like forehead protectors from his pocket.

"Isn't this... the 'Soul Guardian' from before?" Kosmo quickly recognized what Ai Yue was holding. "Don't we already have one?"

"It's different. This is a special prop made just for you." Ai Yue explained, "I remember you two were working together, right?"

"Yes, usually Daisy is in charge of the main attack, and I'm responsible for protection and attacking." Kosmo nodded. "Daisy's ability, clearing the mess... I mean, it's very effective against the Honkai Beast Sea."

Perhaps because he vaguely felt that Ai Yue was of the same kind, Kosmo couldn't help but get excited and almost blurted out the gaming terms.

In the current tactical arrangement, Kevin's team is mainly responsible for the decapitation operations against powerful individual Honkai beasts, but every Honkai beast of the emperor level or even above the emperor level is bound to appear together with the huge sea of Honkai beasts. How to quickly fight a bloody way out of the sea of Honkai beasts while trying to avoid consuming too much energy is what Desdobia is responsible for.

"These two items are prototypes inspired by the power of the Eighth Herrscher." Ai Yue handed them to two people. "Once activated, they can resonate the mental powers of the two wearers, thus exerting special effects."

"Resonance?" Desdobia and Kosmo exchanged glances, each revealing a deep curiosity in the other's eyes. "What do you mean by special effects?"

"The results of the experiment show that it's possible to share the mental burden between two people," Ai Yue thought for a moment and explained, "For example, Desdobia, you can let Kosmo share your mental burden, and Kosmo will resonate with your mental power and gain corresponding benefits."

"So powerful?" Kosmo's eyes widened. "I thought equipment with this effect could only be seen in games."

The two people's mental powers resonate, and thus both can benefit from it. It sounds like some kind of magic.

"It's only in the testing phase right now, so I need to find someone to help collect experimental data." Ai Yue smiled, "Why don't you try it now?"

The two looked at each other, and then tried to put the equipment on their heads.

As the equipment was activated, both of them felt dizzy at the same time. Fortunately, the feeling only lasted for a moment and did not cause any lasting impact.

"It seems like it's really different?" Desdobia looked around. She raised her hand slightly, and all the tableware on the table began to float and fly in the air. "I can control more things! Kosmo, how are you? Are you dizzy?"

When Desdobia tried to use telekinesis beyond her limit, she would experience symptoms such as dizziness and nosebleeds, but none of these symptoms appeared at this moment, making her worry that Kosmo was asking her to bear the consequences.

"No, I feel fine now." Kosmo frowned. "Although I don't feel the presence of telekinesis, it seems that something is different."

He closed his eyes, and a special feeling came to his heart - under the powerful mental blessing of Desdobia, Kosmo vaguely felt the position and individual energy intensity of everyone in the banquet hall.

The strongest person at the moment was Alicia. Kevin, who was theoretically stronger than him, was somehow weaker, his energy response slightly lower than Alicia's. Then came Hen, and then...

Kosmo quickly opened his eyes, and the look he gave Ai Yue suddenly became strange.

He could sense everyone in the room, including Dr. Mei, whose energy response was slightly lower than that of an ordinary person, but he could not sense Ai Yue who was so close to him.

If he closed his eyes, he would not realize that there was someone standing in front of him.

If the principle of telepathy is similar to that of radar, and both detect by receiving emitted mental waves, doesn't it mean that Ai Yue can "absorb" the mental power he emits?

"What's wrong?" Ai Yue was unaware of Kosmo's thoughts. "Remember to tell me if you feel uncomfortable."

"No, everything is fine." Kosmo didn't say what he was thinking, but just nodded. "This equipment is really amazing. Does it have a name?"

"I originally wanted to call it 'Knight's Oath', but after actually making it, I realized the effect wasn't quite right, so it doesn't have a name yet." Ai Yue said with a smile, "As the first group of people to use this pair of equipment, the right to name it is now up to you. Please think carefully."

Kosmo lowered his head and thought seriously, then looked at the girl beside him: "How about calling it 'Soul Contract'?"

"That's quite your style." Desdobia gave me an expression that said, "I can't stand you," but she didn't object. "But I can't think of any other name right now, so I'll use this one for now."

Ai Yue smiled without saying anything, just looking at the system interface in front of him.

"Psychic Power Sample: Destobia (Rare): Usable Value 100%."

"Psychic Power Sample·Kosmo (Rare): Usable Value 100%."

"Daisy, what are you doing?" Kevin and Dr. Mei came over at this moment. "Why are the dishes suddenly floating?"

"Ah, sorry, I'll recover right away!" Daisy Dobia blushed suddenly, and quickly controlled the tableware to return to its original place, and then she and Kosmo ran away.

Although it was at a banquet, it was definitely stressful to get along with a boss like Dr. Mei.

Ai Yue simply explained the situation to the two people.

"I see. As expected of you, isn't it?" Dr. Mei exclaimed, looking at the equipment on the two men's heads. "It's only been a few days, and your research into the power of the Eighth Herrscher has yielded results."

"It's just a simple application, not really an achievement." Ai Yue shook his head and didn't say much. Instead, he looked behind the two people and asked, "Who is this?"

Behind Kevin and Dr. Mei, there was a gray-haired man standing quietly. He had a handsome face and could even be mistaken for a woman. Because he was silent, he did not attract the attention of Kosmo and the others.

"Oh, yes. Let me introduce you." Kevin smiled, a rare moment, and reached out to pull the man over. "This is Su, a former classmate of Mei and me. He joined the Fire Moth a while ago and is currently a doctor in the Fifth Science Department, researching a cure for Honkai Disease."

Kevin did not hide anything because he had already learned about Ai Yue's authority from Dr. Mei, and Su's affairs were obviously not above his authority.

"Hello, Dr. Ai Yue, I've heard a lot about you." Su extended his hand and said in a tone of admiration, "When my teacher and I first received the formula, we thought it was a prank. I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
