I was transported to a broken world, yet my dreams are connected to Star Iron?

　Ruan Mei tilted her head in confusion.

　"I didn't say it's impossible. Abundant blessings entering the body are indeed a very common occurrence, and I don't discriminate against people from the Immortal Ship!"

　Black Tower took a deep breath: "I mean, don't give Lingmo this kind of self-destruct skill! Have you been studying those insects too much, making self-destruction after death a necessity?"

　"Um... is there a problem with this?"

　Ruan Mei was somewhat puzzled: "I remember you said that Ling Mo has an independent resurrection system. With the support of this system, isn't it a bit of a waste not to use a suicidal skill like self-destruction?"

　"you……"

　Heita sensed that Ruan Mei was a bit flustered, but she also understood Ruan Mei. It wasn't that Ruan Mei had any ill intentions towards Ling Mo or her; it was just that Ruan Mei did lack some common sense about emotions and humanity.

　Rather, it's more accurate to say that geniuses like Heta, who possess such rich humanity, are few and far between.

　"Never mind... I'll explain these things to you properly when I get back to the space station. All you need to know is that you shouldn't make plans for Suzumo based on self-destruction or burning your own life. Even if you need similar abilities, you should tell me first."

　"You don't understand Suzumo's personality. If you gave her the ability to self-destruct, she would not hesitate to set herself off like a firework when her companions are in danger!"

　"Hmm, isn't this wrong?"

　"No! Okay... I already said I'll explain this to you when I get back to the space station. In short, just do as I ask for now."

　"Okay... Sorry, Black Tower, I'll be more careful next time."

　Seemingly because she noticed that the Black Tower seemed a little angry, Ruan Mei realized that this time it seemed to be her fault, so she promptly apologized.

　"However, if we don't adopt this design approach... then we might have to consider accepting the power of destruction or abundance."

　"Acceptance is better than being a ticking time bomb..."

　Heita rubbed his temples helplessly: "Besides, judging from Nanuk's attitude this time, even if we completely remove the destructive power from her body now, she might reappear at any time. It's better for us to accept a portion of the destructive power first and then start by increasing our resistance."

　"You're right."

　Ruan Mei thought for a moment and said, "However, if we go down this path... I happen to have a similar case in my possession."

　Chapter 181 The Countdown to Lingmo's Return to St. Freya?

　"Completely accepting the power of destruction is not an easy thing, especially since you are currently separated by a layer of Jianmu wood, making the 'construction' process quite difficult."

　"However, it's fortunate that you are currently enveloped by Jianmu. Ruan Mei has already provided a 'guided cultivation' plan for Jianmu, which will allow Jianmu to produce some of the substances needed for the transformation on its own. Furthermore, as Jianmu transfers energy to you, it will subtly change your physical condition... Of course, just don't tell Xianzhou."

　"So... the treatment has already started, and now I just need to wait?"

　Lingmo tilted her head: "It feels... like it's not real."

　"That's right, it doesn't feel real. That's Ruan Mei. If even she has to make a big fuss to save you, then your problem is really serious."

　Black Tower snorted: "You should be glad. I looked at Ruan Mei's case file the other day, which was about another case of someone who had come into contact with destructive power. All I can say is... compared to her situation, yours is already considered easy. At least you won't be in danger once you leave Jianmu."

　"That little girl was so utterly horrified that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was completely annihilated."

　"Stop the clouds..."

　Lingmo thought for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, it seems that her family doesn't even know she's alive."

　"Does she have family?"

　Hei Ta paused for a moment: "Then... let's not tell her family about this yet. To be honest, even Ruan Mei isn't sure if that fox girl can survive. It depends on her own will to live, so... let's wait for the results from there. Giving hope first and then extinguishing it is the cruelest thing to do."

　"Yes, I agree with that."

　Lingmo nodded: "So, I should..."

　"sleep."

　Hei Ta said bluntly, "Jianmu gets incredibly excited whenever you're awake, like a child clinging to its mother. Besides, didn't you tell me a couple of days ago that your other world has reached a crucial point? This is a good opportunity to deal with things on your side."

　"Otherwise, once you go to Pinocchio, it's uncertain whether you can return to the Honkai side. Oh, right, also, you can't use the hibernation pod to record your dreams when you enter a dream in Jianmu, so remember to have your system record your story for me. Being a 'loser' isn't a good habit."

　"A child clinging to its mother... This analogy doesn't seem to be wrong. After all, strictly speaking, it seems that this kind of simple intelligence only came about after I implanted thoughts into the Jianmu tree with the power of erosion."

　Lingmo scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "As for the plot... you've reminded me. I've been putting off Silver Wolf for a long time, so I can take this opportunity to make some new game cartridges."

　"That little dwarf?"

　Heita immediately perked up: "Then remember to change the cassette's password to 'Lady Heita is unparalleled in the world!', and it should be voice-activated!"

　"Wake up, my dear Lord Black Tower. Silver Wolf is an Ether Editor; she would never say something like that. At most, she would have Firefly shout it for her..."

　……

　Although Lingmo told the Black Tower that a crucial time had recently arrived, in reality, she had been frequently traveling between the two worlds ever since she was locked up in the Jianmu Dark Room.

　After all, being locked up in Jianmu meant she had no games to play and no one to keep her company. If she wanted to tease Xingbao and Heita, she would have to wait for them to come over on their own. To relieve her boredom, Lingmo could only focus her attention on Wendy.

　Because, although the lovely Miss Wendy took the initiative to push her down last time, she is still a rather shy girl. At least, Suzuma can occasionally gain the upper hand. She is more challenging, but not completely "outmatched".

　Of course, before entering Honkai Impact 3rd, Lingmo also asked customer service Xiaoqi in detail about her situation—after all, it would be too much of a god to cosplay as a Bomber with her abundant and destructive power in Honkai Impact 3rd.

　At the time, customer service representative Xiaoqi gave her the answer...

　Even if you could fully control the powers of abundance and destruction, it would be impossible for you to bring them all back to the Honkai side.

　[One reason is that excessive destiny energy, especially when you have complete control over it—almost one-tenth of the level of a Commander—can easily attract the attention of the Star Gods. Considering your current situation, it's best to be cautious.]

　[Another reason... transmitting such a large amount of energy also consumes my energy. According to the system's underlying logic, the cost of overloading a single transmission is to reduce the number of transmissions, which is definitely a cost we neither want to see.]

　However, I was prepared for this situation and specifically left you a backdoor before implementing the entire plan.

　[After you return to the Honkai side, you will obtain a special character card. This character card only has a cooldown period and no limit on the number of uses. After using it, you will be in your "peak" form for a period of time.]

　[Of course, you can't use it now... After all, you haven't fully balanced the power of the two destinies yet. Using that character card would probably turn you into a giant explosion on the spot.]

　With the explanation from customer service representative Xiaoqi, Lingmo felt more at ease entering and leaving the Honkai world. Of course, although she was indeed curious about this kind of self-summoning and self-possession behavior of a giant hero, Lingmo wasn't stupid enough to actually self-destruct in Oceania—she didn't want to be pinned down on the bed by an angry Miss Wendy and given an automatic "massage" service all night with a high-speed vibration cyclone.

　And so, in the midst of peaceful (uncertain) times, September has quietly arrived in the Honkai world.

　For the world of Honkai Impact 3, September 2014 was an extremely special month because it was the month when the main story of Honkai Impact 3 began, and it was on this day that the Moon Throne descended upon the sky above Canghai City.

　Of course, judging from the subsequent plot, the Moon Throne Project was actually the prototype of the plan to fight against the end of entropy. However, due to the repeated changes in the situation, by the time the end was truly crossed, the plan had been completely changed beyond recognition.

　However, Lingmo didn't attend this "place where the dream began" because she was about to return to St. Freya.

　Since Ragnar has become the head of the Oceania branch in this life, the Far East branch and the Oceania branch have cooperated a lot under her leadership. The joint school program is naturally one of them. The Valkyrie assessment at the end of September is the assessment time that Himeko and Ragnar have agreed upon.

　Through the routine assessment of students at St. Freya Academy, Himeko will take the opportunity to showcase the educational achievements of St. Freya. At that time, not only the Oceania branch, but also the Schicksal headquarters will send people to attend the ceremony.

　Wendy and Suzumi were naturally among the delegations sent by the Oceania branch.

　Chapter 182 Lingmo (dumbfounded): Could I have transmigrated again? You said this is a bug?

　"It's been a long time since I've been back to St. Freya... I didn't expect that nothing has changed here."

　After the aircraft landed, Wendy, who had been pushed out of her wheelchair by Suzumo, said with some emotion.

　"Speaking of which, I almost forgot that Wendy is also a graduate of St. Freya."

　Lingmo smiled and patted Wendy's little head.

　"Does coming back this time feel like revisiting a familiar place?"

　"That's not quite it. After all, I've been keeping in touch with Professor Theresa privately all along, so there's definitely no sense of unfamiliarity. However..."

　Wendy suddenly pouted: "If I remember correctly, doesn't Lingmo have many 'good friends' here too?"

　"Ah ha ha……"

　Lingmo guiltily looked away: "Yes, that's really true... Ouch—it's so itchy!"

　When Wendy suddenly pinched the soft flesh around her waist, Lingmo immediately flinched.

　"Hmph... idiot Suzumo."

　Wendy scoffed, "Let me make this clear: if your other friends are those idiots with questionable manners, I won't agree to it, okay?"

　"Ah this..."

　Suzuma's lips twitched. If that's the case... then Kiana, who's always sticking close to Mei and whose grades are consistently near the bottom, seems to be completely in the "bad student" category in Wendy's eyes, the academic genius?

　"By the way, Wendy, since I haven't been back to St. Freya for a long time, I'm planning to do a surprise inspection of those guys' dorms to get a feel for them and see if they've been studying hard lately."

　Thinking about what might happen next, Suzumo made a decisive decision to temporarily leave the exchange and inspection group and act alone in order to avoid the potential battlefield.

　"You're so mean, Lingmo... You'd better hurry back, don't forget we have missions to complete too."

　Wendy didn't doubt Lingmo's motives. After all, even back in Oceania, Lingmo would often use similar tricks to tease her, and Wendy would usually immediately put them to good use and "ambush" Ragnar.

　All I can say is that her relationship with Ragnar was indeed one of maternal love and filial piety (just kidding).

　"Hmph... Well, I'll be going now, okay?"

　Lingmo waved her hand and disappeared from the spot. After seeing Lingmo leave, Wendy seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Then, she quietly turned on her airflow radar and began to search for a white-haired figure among the students of St. Freya.

　After all, Suzuma had mentioned during some of her strange entertainment activities that the person she was closest to in St. Freya was a white fur ball, and in addition, Suzuma's best friend Sirin during the Second Honkai Impact... To be honest, Wendy still felt a bit of pressure.

　So she decided to investigate the background of this white furball first, at least to prevent Lingmo from being deceived by some strange people!

　Wendy suddenly got all fired up!

　……

　Meanwhile, Suzuma, unaware that Wendy had suddenly become flammable because of her, had already sneaked into the "dormitory" where Kiana and the others lived.

　Of course, although it's called a dormitory, this place is actually Himeko's villa. Besides Kiana and the other two, Himeko also lives here regularly, while Theresa shuttles between here and her office—after all, Judah also has a sleep mode, so Theresa is not picky about where she wants to sleep.

　"Whose room should we go to first... Mei's room is usually very tidy, so if we leave any traces, it will definitely be discovered. Yaya usually locks the door when she leaves the villa because she has downloaded a bunch of R18 games on her computer..."

　"As expected, Kiana, whose room is always a mess and whose door is never locked, is the best choice for an adventure!"

　Having thoroughly understood the three starter Pokémon, Suzuma instantly selected her target and then effortlessly arrived at Kiana's room.

　Although she hadn't been back for half a year, Suzuma was still quite familiar with Kiana's room. After all, she had spent a rather unforgettable and significant night there—in whatever sense.

　So even with her eyes closed, she could sneak into Kiana's room. She even knew that to the left of the entrance to Kiana's room was a huge pile of messy textbooks, sometimes even piled up to the doorway—it was really asking too much of Kiana to tidy up that.

　So, in order not to change the original layout of the room, you should step over the pile of books with high knees after opening the door... wait, where are the books by the door?

　After lifting her leg, Lingmo felt a chill under her skirt and stared blankly at the clean and tidy doorway.

　No, did I go to the wrong room?

　Lingmo peeked out and glanced at the house number.

　Wait a minute, this is Kiana's room?

　I must have opened it incorrectly.

　Lingmo closed the door, took a deep breath, and then opened the door again.

　The tidy room came into view.

　"Could it be... that Kiana switched rooms with someone else? But wait, almost everything in this room belongs to Kiana. Did Mei just tidy up her room recently?"

　After much thought, Lingmo decisively ruled out the possibility that Kiana had changed her personality. Don't ask, the answer is that she had complete trust in Kiana during this period.

　"Well, it seems she's escaped unscathed. Now we just need to check on her studies..."

　Suzuma walked to Kiana's desk, picked up a notebook, and started flipping through it.

　A few seconds later, she immediately flipped the notebook back to the cover page.

　"Wow, whose notes are these? They're quite detailed. Kiana even borrows notes to review! That's really something... congratulations!"

　Looking at the delicate "Kiana Kaslana" on the notebook cover, Suzumo felt as if her brain was being ravaged by the rampaging plot.

　Unconvinced, Lingmo picked up another notebook, still with the same handwriting and the same name.

　Lingmo slowly hugged her head.

　"Oh no, have I time-traveled again? Why is this silly little bug studying on its own?!"

　Just as Suzuma was questioning her life, Kiana and her two friends, who had just finished class, arrived at the playground.

　Because this year's Valkyrie assessment is demonstration-oriented, their assessment mechanism is also different. Before the observers from the Oceania branch and the Schicksal headquarters who arrived a day later, Theresa had already arranged for them to complete their academic exams.

　"Hey, Kiana, look over there."

　Mei suddenly nudged Kiana next to her.

　"Look, there's a little girl in a wheelchair over there... I don't think I've seen her before, do you remember her?"

　"Didn't Aunt Himeko say that the Valkyries from the Oceania branch would arrive today? St. Freya only has this many people. If they are unfamiliar faces, they should be from Oceania, right?"
