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

Ai Yue leaned lazily on the back of his chair and said with a smile, "Why don't you tell me what you sell in this store?"

He was actually not completely unaware of Padfils's so-called store. It was said that every time Padfils came back from a mission, she would pick up many strange little gadgets. Although no one knew what many of them were used for, there would always be people who liked them unexpectedly. Over time, it became a mysterious store that was passed on by word of mouth within the Fire Moth.

"It's nothing, just something I picked up."

Padufilis scratched her head sheepishly, then emphasized as if she had remembered something, "I really picked them all up!"

"really?"

Ai Yue said meaningfully, "Is it true that there is no thieving, stealing, or replacing things with fake things?"

"No la……"

Padofelice said guiltily. Facing Ai Yue's silence, she finally sighed, "Okay, okay, actually there is a little bit... really only a little bit! And I only took the bad guys' things. I should, probably, perhaps... you can say I was a righteous thief, right?"

At this point, she continued as if to change the subject: "Speaking of which, why did Brother Yue suddenly remember to call me?"

It was because she hadn't received a call from Ai Yue for a long time that she ignored the matter and let the cat out of the bag!

"I miss you."

Ai Yue said with a smile, "You guys, you clearly have a holiday recently, but you didn't come to see me. Isn't that a bit too much?"

"How dare I disturb you?"

Padofelice said in a subtle tone, "Besides, aren't Sister Nia and Sister Snake with you?"

The suggestive tone in Padofelice's words made Ai Yue feel a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, kid, don't talk nonsense,"

Ai Yue subconsciously waved his hand, as if Padovice was right in front of him, "Where are you?"

"Sunbathing on the roof of the dormitory building."

Padofelice didn't ask any further questions, but her tone became lazy again, "The sun is great today, not too hot, not too dark, the feeling of the sun on my body is just right!"

"Really."

Ai Yue couldn't help but smile, "Then stay where you are and wait for ten minutes."

Having said that, he hung up the phone.

Chapter 39: Cats left to roam free have developed mental illnesses.

"Wait ten minutes for what?"

Padovice asked curiously, but when she heard the phone being hung up, she couldn't help but put down the phone with a puzzled expression.

Could it be that Brother Yue will come?

This was the first thought that flashed through Padofelice's mind, but she immediately rejected it - it was impossible. Brother Yue was so busy now, how could he come back to see her?

Maybe there's just something that needs to be dealt with, so you have to hang up first and call back in ten minutes.

But if that was all, then why should she wait there?

Padufilis was so troubled by her thoughts that she kept denying her own ideas. For a moment, even the originally warm and gentle sunshine became hot.

"Ah, Brother Yue, really, please explain clearly!"

Padofelice wanted to call back and ask for clarification, but she was afraid of disturbing Ai Yue's work. In the end, she could only roll around on the mat in frustration, and her good mood seemed to be gone in an instant.

But after calming down, she found that the corners of her mouth were rising.

Why? Maybe it’s because I can feel from the phone call that Brother Yue’s feelings for me haven’t changed?

After realizing this, the girl couldn't help but start to giggle again.

What Ai Yue didn't know was that Padova was actually having a very difficult time during this period.

After defeating the Herrscher of Rock and the Herrscher of Domination in succession, Ai Yue's reputation within the Fire Moth has reached an unimaginable and terrifying height. It can be said that even Kevin is now inferior to Ai Yue.

This is also a very normal thing. After all, after Ai Yue came to the Fire Moth, he immediately reversed all the disadvantages of the Fire Moth when facing the Herrscher.

Not strong enough? No problem. Ai Yue has improved the Fusion Warrior formula, greatly increasing the success rate of the Fusion Warrior program. Even those who can't participate in the Fusion Warrior program can still get new equipment. Fighting against Herrschers is indeed not good enough, but dealing with Honkai Beasts can only be described as mowing the grass.

Is the casualty rate too high? No problem. Ai Yue invented a new alloy formula and improved the armor worn by the Fire Moth's regular soldiers, increasing their protection by 0.1%. He even used drone swarms as combat units to replace regular soldiers in close combat with the Honkai beast sea. The casualty rate during the Great Collapse of Mu Continent has dropped to a staggering .

Honkai disease is incurable, and even if many soldiers survive on the battlefield, they will die from the subsequent Honkai energy erosion? It doesn't matter. Ai Yue's story of conquering Honkai disease antibodies in 48 hours is still questioned by many people. But it is undeniable that after his visit to the Fifth Science Department, the entire Fifth Science Department was directly disbanded. At the same time, the Fire Moth also came up with a cheap and easy-to-use Honkai disease vaccine. This may not be entirely due to Ai Yue's credit, but he certainly had a lot to do with it.

As for establishing schools, inventing teleportation devices, establishing a global Honkai energy prevention and control network and other things, they are just trivial matters to Ai Yue, and are not even worth mentioning.

And these are just what ordinary members know. Compared with what Ai Yue has been doing, these are just the tip of the iceberg.

It can be said that everything related to Ai Yue will receive special attention, and even Padova is no exception.

It can even be said that because Padfils seems too ordinary compared to Ai Yue, she is the one who is most affected.

This is the source of Padofelice's troubles recently. As Ai Yue's reputation continues to rise, she has also received too much attention, so that no matter where she goes, people will ask her all kinds of questions out of curiosity.

Although it was precisely because of this that the "Paddo Shop" became more popular than expected, Paddofils herself also encountered many unexpected questions.

The most common question was, "Do you really know Dr. Ai Yue?"

Although Padofelice could answer this question with the armor system specially built for her by Ai Yue, over time, she couldn't help but feel self-doubt in her heart.

After all they've been through, will Ai Yue still treat her the same way he did before? Will the gap between them grow wider and wider until they become strangers?

Padufilis is a heartless person. Even if she encounters sad things, she will only be sad for a while, but Ai Yue's matter is an exception.

She hadn't looked for Ai Yue for a while because she was afraid that the answer to this question would be completely opposite to her expectations.

At least, as long as I don't face it, I can still live like this...

Come to think of it, is ten minutes really that long?

Padofelice lay on the mat, waiting for the deadline that Ai Yue mentioned.

At this moment, she keenly caught a hint of movement, and then suddenly looked towards the entrance and exit on the roof.

Ai Yue's figure appeared there.

"Brother Yue?!"

Padufils turned over and got up in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Be quiet, don't let others find out."

Ai Yue gestured to keep quiet, a look of embarrassment on his face. "Why is the door to your rooftop locked? I have to pry the lock to get up."

It turns out that was the sound of picking the lock.

"The blown-out passage next door is actually broken, and you can squeeze out through that gap."

Padofelice looked at Ai Yue's somewhat embarrassed expression and suddenly laughed, "Brother Yue, why are you here?"

"If you don't come to me, then I have no choice but to come to you?"

Ai Yue patted the dust off his hands and said, "Make some space for me. I want to bask in the sun too."

"okay,"

Padofelice moved aside, creating a space on the mat. "Come on, Brother Yue."

"Why is your floor mat even smaller than the one we used on Twilight Street..."

Ai Yue came over and frowned, "No, isn't this the same piece from before? The potion I applied is still here!"

He pointed to the half handprint in the corner and said that it was accidentally rubbed on his body when Padovani dragged him to sunbathe on Dusk Street. It couldn't be washed off and remained there ever since.

"What a great floor mat! I love it!"

Padofelice said seriously, and after thinking for a moment, she suddenly added, "It doesn't matter if it's a little smaller, can't we just squeeze in?"

Ai Yue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's true."

The two of them lay side by side on the narrow mat, feeling the warmth of the sun, and no one spoke for a while.

After a moment, Padufilis suddenly laughed.

"what happened?"

Ai Yue, with his eyes closed, turned his head slightly and could see the girl's pretty profile and bright smile.

"nothing."

Padfils said with a smile, her expression completely relaxed.

Well, nothing has changed.

Chapter 40 Please choose your Honkai beast.

Ai Yue didn't know what was going on in Padufils' mind, but after being warned by Aponya today, Ai Yue became more concerned about the words and actions of the people around him.

From Padufils's reactions when she saw him just now, Ai Yue could also sense the slight alienation and hesitation in her heart.

This tangled emotion made him think of Xun Ge'er and Runtu all of a sudden, but fortunately, Padufils was really heartless and things did not escalate to that extent, so he did not hear Padufils respectfully call him "Dr. Ai Yue".

Ai Yue asked himself, if Padofelice really showed a respectful expression, he couldn't guarantee what he would do next.

Ai Yue didn't show anything on the surface, but he was greatly relieved in his heart. As the first person he met in this world and the person who saved his life, Padua of course had a special place in his heart.

Not to mention that Padofelice was willing to give up her free life and follow him to the Fire Moth. This decision undoubtedly confirmed the family-like relationship between them.

Perhaps it was because of this that Ai Yue subconsciously felt that this connection would never change, but after being reminded by Aponya, he realized that humans could not communicate through telepathy after all, at least not now.

Therefore, no matter how strong the relationship is, it still needs to be maintained. Even close relatives who are thicker than blood can have disagreements and conflicts, let alone other people?

Even if your feelings have never changed, if you cannot express them and cannot convey them to others, then no matter how strong the feelings are, they are just a form of self-satisfaction.

"Pado, there's something I need to tell you."

Thinking of this, Ai Yue couldn't help but sit up with a serious expression.

"What, what's wrong, Brother Yue?"

Padofelice couldn't help but sit up as well, her eyes darting around, as if trying to recall if she had made any serious mistakes recently. "I've been very honest lately!"

"It's not those things,"

After being interrupted by Padofelice, Ai Yue found it difficult to remain serious and could only smile helplessly, "I'm going to transfer you to the Light Star Experimental Base and place you by my side."

"Eh? Why so sudden?"

Padufilis was stunned for a moment, "Wait, from the tone of your voice, Brother Yue, it seems that you don't want to discuss this with me, right?"

"Yes, that's an order."

Ai Yue nodded. "Whether you agree or not, this order has already taken effect, just now."

"why?"

Padufilis scratched her head in confusion and subconsciously turned to look aside, "Brother Yue, you don't need me, do you?"

"No, I need you."

Ai Yue reached out and cupped Padufils' cheeks, forcing her to look back at him. "I really need you to stay with me."

"Eh, eh?"

Padovice's face flushed immediately. "Yes, is that so?"

She wanted to escape, but Ai Yue's hands made it difficult for her to move. From his sincere gaze, Padufilis could also feel the emotions in his heart.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered the night when she decided to sneak onto the transport plane.

I didn't make that choice on impulse.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do."

Thinking of this, Padufils gradually calmed down and showed her usual cheerful expression. "Anyway, that...oh, military orders are like mountains, I can't refuse, right?"

Seeing that Padufils did not show a strong rejection attitude, Ai Yue felt relieved in his heart.

Before he spoke, for a moment, Ai Yue was indeed worried that Paduo might resist this mandatory requirement, but even so, he still chose to speak.

Because those words were his heartfelt wishes.

"Okay, in that case, let's take action."
