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

Su's words "I've long heard of your great name" were indeed sincere.

He first heard of Ai Yue's name from his mentor, the director of the Fifth Science Department, who said that there was a new scholar who was very close to Mobius and was definitely not a good person.

The main project of the Fifth Science Department is medicine. The vast majority of its members are doctors, and Minister Spasi is no exception. Each of them adheres to the beliefs of a doctor, so they are very dissatisfied with Mebius who repeatedly breaks the moral bottom line of mankind.

Although Su did not have too much prejudice against Mebius and Ai Yue because he was new to the place, he did not pay much attention to Ai Yue's affairs because of Spasi, until a few days ago, when the mysterious formula suddenly appeared on all the computers in the Fifth Science Department.

At first, Spacey thought that some daring guy had come to provoke the Fire Moth, but soon Dr. Mei came to the Fifth Science Department to explain the whole story. Only then did Spacey realize the crux of the matter. However, as the Minister of the Fifth Science Department, he naturally could not accept that someone had easily developed a drug that could resist mental pollution.

However, the Fifth Science Department could not disobey Dr. Mei's order and could only skip all the test processes and go directly into mass production under the other party's coordination. It was not until this time that Su became curious because Dr. Mei trusted Ai Yue so much.

What kind of outrageous achievements did a young scholar who had just joined the Fire Moth for a few months have to make in order for Dr. Mei to bear all possible consequences for him without hesitation?

The results proved that Dr. Mei and Ai Yue were right. The effect of the formula was even beyond expectations. None of the soldiers who took the medicine and participated in the war to eliminate the Honkai Beast Sea showed any abnormalities. However, as for the local army serving as the control group, two-thirds of the soldiers fell into a coma the moment they entered the battlefield.

So when Kevin asked him if he would like to come to the party, Su agreed almost without hesitation.

After coming here, he found out that Ai Yue had even developed a drug that could temporarily control Kevin's body temperature, allowing the lovers who should have been unable to touch each other to hug each other.

The other party's invention proved that Ai Yue's research on the fusion warrior program had even surpassed its original creator.

A young scholar who has surpassed Dr. May and Dr. Mebius only a few months into his time at the Fire Moth.

This is no longer something that can be described as genius, it's even a little scary.

Such a person, if he has even the slightest malice towards humanity, may cause huge consequences.

Therefore, Su wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of person Dr. Ai Yue was.

Compared with Su's complicated psychological activities, Ai Yue's thoughts were much simpler. When he saw Su, his first reaction was - finally, we have established a relationship. I won't have to worry about having no excuse to go to the Fifth Science Department in the future.

He hasn't forgotten that he still has a side quest to complete, which is to "reduce the cost of the Honkai disease vaccine."

"It's just my job." Ai Yue and Su shook hands briefly, then said, "I've also heard about the achievements of the Fifth Science Department. I heard that you've completed research on a cure for Honkai Disease?"

"We can't say it's complete yet." Su's eyes dimmed a little when he mentioned this matter. "As for Honkai Disease, we still have a long way to go."

To sacrifice a thousand lives to save one life—can such a result really be considered a cure?

At least Su couldn't accept it.

"I'm also a little curious about this project," Ai Yue continued, "If Dr. Spasi doesn't mind, could you allow me to arrange a time to visit you?"

"Of course, the teacher will definitely be very happy!" Su was stunned for a moment, then decisively agreed, "I believe Dr. Ai Yue also has impressive research in medical fields. We can..."

"Alright, alright, can we talk about work some other time?" Kevin interrupted the conversation, looking at them with a puzzled expression. "Even Mei wouldn't think about work at this moment. You should just enjoy this rare moment of relaxation and leave the work for tomorrow."

Ai Yue and Su looked at each other, and then exchanged contact information.

Dr. Mei was about to say something else, but suddenly his eyes passed Ai Yue and looked behind him. Then he smiled and said, "Then we won't bother you anymore. See you later, Dr. Ai Yue."

Ai Yue turned around and found that Aponiya, Hua and Qianjie were walking towards this side.

Chapter 5: Say no to tablets, starting with me

"You're quite late."

Seeing three people walking towards them, Ai Yue waved his hand, nodded to Dr. Mei, and then took the initiative to greet them: "It seems that you are not dressed up much?"

"A nun's wardrobe doesn't have anything special to offer." Aponya, still dressed simply as a nun, smiled and glanced to the side. "She spends most of her time on other things."

Qianjie, who was being looked at, crossed his arms, the corners of his mask drooping. He was obviously the guy who had wasted time. "To be frank, what does this matter have to do with me?"

"The food is delicious, so I asked you to come and try it." Ai Yue patted his shoulder. "To be honest, children have no shortage of toys these days. Why don't you learn some cooking skills and show them off when you get home?"

As Qianjie's half-guardian, Ai Yue knew very well where the other party's "salary" was basically spent.

Qianjie was silent for a moment, but finally took the initiative to walk into the banquet hall and began to taste the desserts one by one in the dessert area.

"You still have a solution." Aponiya glanced at Hua, who was a little embarrassed, and finally nodded to Ai Yue. "Well, I'll go say hello to my friends first. See you later."

Friends? Is there anyone else besides Alicia?

This thought flashed through Ai Yue's mind, but he put it aside for the time being and looked at Hua: "Don't be nervous, Hua, everyone is easy to get along with."

"I'm not worried about that, Dr. Ai Yue." Hua pursed her lips and looked past Ai Yue towards the banquet hall. "I just feel that this kind of occasion isn't suitable for me. Besides, I haven't actually made any contribution to this plan, so there's no need for you to invite me."

Hua still feels that the experience of the past two days was like a dream. She was suddenly selected by Ai Yue as a member of the team to go out on a mission, but in fact she did nothing. She just followed him for a while and came back. After coming back, she went to the Fifth Academy of Sciences according to the other party's arrangement. After delivering the mental resistance drugs, she went to the battlefield with the first batch of soldiers. As a result, not long after, she heard that the Eighth Ruler had died.

Then, she and a nun named Aponia sent the bloodthirsty Qianjie back to the Fire Moth base from the battlefield, and that was all that happened.

She didn't play any role in this at all. Any ordinary soldier could do what she did, so she didn't understand why Ai Yue invited her specifically.

"Because you really have great potential, Hua, you should be more confident." Ai Yue couldn't say it directly, so he could only pat her shoulder. "Besides, I have a little understanding of your situation."

"You know everything?" Hua was stunned for a moment, then realized what the other party was talking about. "Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it..."

Because she was the only one to survive from the clutches of Himiko, the captain of the fifth squad who became a Herrscher, Hua was regarded as an ominous existence by other soldiers. Some even secretly called her a witch behind her back and deliberately distanced themselves from her.

Such things, coupled with Hua's own somewhat inferior personality, made her increasingly question her own existence, so she was surprised when Ai Yue specifically asked her to participate in the mission.

"It's not a matter of intention or not, and it's not your fault." Ai Yue waved his hand and said, "I just want to ask you, are you willing to come work for me?"

"Eh?"

"My current plan is to update the equipment of the Fire Moth soldiers, and these new equipment need someone to test them during the experimental phase." Ai Yue said seriously, "Also, I may occasionally go out on field missions, and I also need an excellent soldier to protect my safety, so are you willing to help?"

"I..." Hua hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I do."

"Very good." Ai Yue immediately took out a paper document from somewhere and placed it in front of her. He handed the pen to the girl and said, "Then sign your name here."

"Eh?" Hua's eyes widened again. "Are you in such a hurry?"

She had thought that such matters would have to wait until the end of the banquet, or simply sign the contract the next day, but she had not expected Ai Yue to be so impatient.

"That won't work. What if you toss and turn all night and finally back down?" Ai Yue gave an encouraging smile. "You are the best candidate I've considered over and over again. Of course I can't let you get away."

Hua blinked, and finally signed his name on the contract honestly without even reading the contract carefully to see if there were any wrong clauses in it.

Who was the last person who encouraged and affirmed himself in this way?

An elegant figure with red hair and a black dress appeared in Hua's mind, and then the figure was engulfed by flames.

"There's still a long way to go in the future. Don't be bound by the past." Ai Yue seemed to have seen through Hua's thoughts and patted her shoulder. "Come on, let me introduce you to your future colleagues."

Looking at Ai Yue's back, Hua was stunned for a moment, then followed him.

She would probably never be able to forget that red figure, but Ai Yue was right, people cannot live in the past forever.

I will keep going, Captain, and you will support me as before, right?

Ai Yue quickly introduced Hua to everyone present. Unexpectedly, except for a few people, everyone else had some impression of Hua.

Although they were puzzled as to why an ordinary soldier could join the new poisonous pupa, everyone here had basically witnessed Ai Yue's abilities, so no one had any objection to his vision.

Of course, there was a little incident.

"Are you interested in her too?"

Mebius, who arrived at the scene later than Apolonia, frowned at the gray-haired girl beside Ai Yue. She pulled Ai Yue aside and showed an unhappy expression: "I was here first!"

"What do you mean by you first, me first?" Ai Yue looked at her in confusion. "You don't want to use her as an experiment, do you?"

"Do you remember the first super-variable factor formula you created?" Mobius didn't answer, but continued, "Garuda's super-variable factor, among those with the highest compatibility, is her."

"No, absolutely not!" Ai Yue immediately realized what Mobius was thinking and sternly refused. "I'm seriously warning you, Mobius. Within three years... no, five years, you are absolutely not allowed to perform Fusion Warrior surgery on China!"

What a joke, he spent so much effort to get along well with Hua, wasn't it just to see if the girl's future was bound by the super mutation factor?

Chapter 6: Do you dare to assume my gender?

Although the main members of the dinner hosted by Alicia were only a few scholars and fusion warriors, there was actually no restriction on them inviting family members or friends to attend. That was why Hen brought Blanca and Grayshu to attend, and Ai Yue was also able to bring Qianjie and others here.

But he still met unexpected people here.

"Mr. Ai Yue?"

In the corner of the banquet hall, in the beverage area, a familiar voice called Ai Yue. He turned around and found Eden sitting on the sofa next to him, shaking the red wine glass in his hand: "Have you settled everything?"

Although Eden lives in the Fire Moth headquarters, she is only there to receive psychological treatment, so she cannot be considered a member of the Fire Moth and her understanding of internal affairs is limited.

If Padfils hadn't come to her with Ai Yue's letter, she wouldn't even know that he might have encountered something.

"It's all resolved. It's no big deal." Ai Yue casually picked up the sparkling drink beside him and walked over. "Didn't I send you a message?"

After the matter was resolved, Ai Yue reported safety to Eden. After all, Padfils was still with him at the time, so he had to make things clear.

"I'm talking about Phyllis," Eden said with a smile on his face, his words hinting at a teasing tone. "It's not a gentleman's thing to make a young girl sad, Mr. Ai Yue."

"Ah, now that you mention this, it's resolved, right?" Ai Yue smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject. "Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you properly yet. Thank you for helping take care of Padu."

"It's my duty. After all, I've received so much in your kindness. Besides, it's just a small matter like protecting a child. It's nothing." Eden took a sip of wine and sighed contentedly. "Want a drink? This is a treasure I specially sponsored for tonight's party."

"No, I don't drink." Ai Yue raised the drink in his hand. "If you can't control your thoughts, it's easy for unpredictable things to happen."

The secret that Ai Yue carries is too heavy, so he must stay awake at all times.

"That's a shame. I thought we had the same hobbies." Eden shook his head slightly, but didn't force it. "It seems like I can only hope that the lady Ellie mentioned has the same hobbies as me."

"That lady?" Ai Yue frowned, vaguely feeling that he seemed to have overlooked some details.

"Well, according to Ellie, she's a gentle and mysterious lady." Eden was talking, and suddenly looked behind Ai Yue, raising his glass at the same time, "Oh, look, they're here."

Ai Yue turned his head and saw Alicia and Aponia walking towards him. Only then did he remember that in the original plot, these three people were indeed drinking buddies.

Now it seems that because I changed the original plot, the time they met was brought forward.

"What are you talking about?" Seeing that she had been discovered, Alicia simply took a few quick steps and sat next to Eden. "Come to think of it, if Eden hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you, Ai Yue, are proficient in music!"

"I can't say I'm proficient in it." Ai Yue was a little embarrassed, "I just have a basic understanding of it."

He can confidently regard the products of the system as his own efforts and sweat, but he is embarrassed to claim the songs of the music legends of his previous life as his own.

After all, the system belongs to him, but the music does not.

"It seems this is the new friend Ellie mentioned." Eden stood up and extended his hand toward Aponya. "Hello, my name is Eden."

"Just call me Aponya, Miss Eden." Aponya also extended her hand to shake Eden's, and then sat next to Ai Yue. "The children in the nursing home all like listening to your songs."

"Really? It's such a joy to see children still appreciating music." Eden poured a glass of wine for Aponya and pushed it towards her. "I think we should drink together and celebrate."

"Is this... brewed by 'Purple Helen'?" Aponya brought the cup to her nose and sniffed it, then revealed a surprised expression. "I never thought I'd actually be able to drink this one day."

"Yes, it's Purple Helen," Eden said with a happy smile, "It seems my wish has come true."

Ai Yue couldn't help but look at the nun with a strange look - No, how come you can actually taste wine?

"Back when Dusk Street wasn't Dusk Street, people could drink wine on prayer days," Aponya explained. "But I only knew that the wine brewed by Purple Helen was more delicate. This is the first time I've seen it with my own eyes."

"That makes three of us now! That's great!" Alicia also raised her glass. "I think we could hold more women's cocktail parties in the future."

"You're kicking me out, huh?" Hearing the other party deliberately emphasize the pronunciation of "woman," Ai Yue couldn't help but sigh, "Okay, okay, I'll make room for you right away."

Then he stood up and left amid good-natured laughter, taking his own sparkling water with him.

What’s so good about wine? It’s better than a can of Coke!

By the way, where was Paddo?

While drinking his drink, Ai Yue began to look for Padufils.

But before he could find Padofelice, another person came to his door.

"Dr. Ai Yue."

The pink-haired, fox-eared girl appeared silently behind him. "Do you have time now?"

Her expression was a little awkward, as if she wanted to say something.

"Yes." Seeing her expression, Ai Yue couldn't help but become more serious. "What's wrong with you? Is there a problem at home?"

Sakura is a very resilient person - as long as her weak spot is not involved, which is her sister, Ling.

Ling can be said to be her spiritual pillar. Once something involves Ling, Yingshu will become vulnerable.

"No, not yet." Ying shook her head, a worried look on her face. "But I don't know if anything will happen if we continue like this. After all, those people up there..."

Ying didn't know that Ai Yue had used extremely brutal means to resolve the conflict between him and the top management of the Fire Moth, and she thought that the other party's safe return was the result of some kind of game.

She only knew that the balance brought about by the game was only temporary, and since she had chosen to stand on the side of Ai Yue and others, the conditions that those people had promised her could be invalidated at any time.

For the sake of her sister, she must ask Ai Yue for help.

"That matter has been perfectly resolved." Ai Yue explained briefly, but he also knew that this was not enough to dispel Ying's doubts. "But your concerns are not unreasonable. I will find a way to solve it."
