Their commission was suspicious.

"Wearable Divine Keys? Mechs?"

"Speaking of mecha, there is a type of armor in a certain world. When not in use, it is just a transformation device that can be carried with you. When needed, it is inserted into your belt, and you can be covered in armor. They call it Kamen Rider."

"Keep going, keep going, is there anything else?" Vilvi was extremely curious about Chen Luo sharing his mechanical ideas from another world.

"There is a world where naval warfare is the primary mode of combat. Due to an invasion by creatures called Sirens, humanity was driven to the brink of extinction, and then ship girls... ship girls were born. Ship girls are simply anthropomorphized versions of ships..."

Urged on by Vilvi, Chen Luo began to recount his experiences, both those he had seen and those he had never seen before.

Velvi longed for the other world, but what she gained the most from was the design concepts of armor and weapons from different worlds.

As the chief engineer of the Divine Keys, Velvi needs to design 13 Divine Keys, which all require creativity.

In the worlds Chen Luo described, a weapon called Imperial Arms particularly intrigued Velvet.

Although the Imperial Arms weren't described as particularly powerful by Chen Luo, they did possess unique abilities. Most importantly, like the Imperial Arms, the Divine Keys were forged from materials sourced from special creatures.

The difference lies in the fact that one weapon's materials come from Dangerous Species while the other weapon's materials come from Herrschers.

Velvi is now considering whether she should personally use the materials from Honkai Beasts to create some useful weapons.

In fact, the Fire Moth did conduct some research in this area, but because the Divine Key consumed most of Velvet's energy, she didn't have time to design it.

Compared to Imperial Arms, that thing called Noble Phantasm sounds more powerful, but unfortunately it's somewhat idealistic, a special weapon sublimated from legend...

If the world truly possesses any consciousness, that consciousness should be the consciousness of collapse.

Since the Honkai consciousness is not on humanity's side, why would it grant humanity power?

"Oh, right, Luo, what did you come to Spiral Workshop for?" After receiving many creative ideas, a satisfied Velvet asked Chen Luo.

"I originally planned to reveal my identity to you, but it seems Dr. Mei has already told you. It's such a pity you weren't there when I broke the news."

"I never expected you would still think of me. I'm so touched." Wilvi patted Chen Luo's head.

"Don't get too emotional yet. I'm wondering how many people Dr. Mei has told about this."

“Oh, don’t worry about that. Dr. Mei didn’t actually tell me. The reason I found out is because I left a backdoor in the place where you were discussing the issue… I overheard these things by accident. Don’t tell Dr. Mei, or she’ll scold me again,” Wilvi quickly said.

“You… never mind, I think Dr. Mei is probably used to it by now.”

The fact that everything made by Velvi may contain a backdoor should have been a given for anyone using Velvi items.

If it weren't for the fact that what Velvi made was really useful, Velvi would have been beaten up long ago.

However, as a magician, Velvet is also very skilled at escaping.

"I really don't know how you manage to keep so many backdoors even after everyone knows about your habit."

"That's because the technology for hiding backdoors is so advanced. As long as they can't find evidence, they can't prove that I actually left a backdoor somewhere. Just like the creed of that game world you described, if you don't get caught, it's not considered cheating!" Velvi said proudly.

Although everyone knew that Velvet would leave a backup plan when making items, and Dr. May knew it too, when even Dr. May couldn't find the back door, the item could be used with relative peace of mind.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and among the Moths that chase the flame, Virvi is the one who has the deepest research in the field of mechanics.

Since we can't find a backdoor, we might as well pretend we don't have one.

"Speaking of which, little Lolo, do you need me to teach you some tricks for leaving hidden features in the items you make?"

Why ask that?

“Because I think the way you look at Prometheus is a bit off. If I’m not mistaken, you might also leave a backdoor on Prometheus’s mechanical body. I’m just worried that Dr. Mei might find out when you’re leaving the backdoor. If she does, don’t say that I trained you!” Wilvi said while carefully observing Chen Luo’s reaction.

Although Wilvi also liked machines, she always felt that it was a bit strange for someone like Chen Luo to "control" a mechanical body he had personally created.

If before, Wilvi only felt that Chen Luo had this tendency, then based on the excitement she saw in Chen Luo's eyes when he talked about the Mechs, she could be certain of it.

Vervi plans to test Chen Luo now. If Chen Luo really has some strange thoughts, Vervi will advise him to turn back before it's too late.

If Dr. Mei finds out you're doing this, you'll be beaten to death!

Moreover, it was I who brought Chen Luo into the mechanical field. What if Chen Luo creates a robot wife and doesn't want Mebius anymore? Would Mebius kill me?

"Hey, how can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air?" Chen Luo seemed very sad and upset about the distrust he felt towards Vervi, and his voice became somewhat louder.

Seeing this, Wilvi was still somewhat suspicious, but generally relieved. It seemed that Chen Luo's poisoning wasn't too severe.

“How could Dr. Mei possibly discover the backdoor I left?” Chen Luo said confidently.

"Hey, shouldn't you be making sure you haven't left a backdoor at this point?"

"Sister Wilvi, what are you talking about? I'm your apprentice, how could I give up such a fine tradition as leaving a back door?"

"What you're doing is immoral!"

"...I feel that you are the only one who has no right to say this to me."

Chapter 1344 Mei: Chen Luo is still a child, it must have been Wilvi who did it!

"Sigh, if you insist on doing this, then after you finish making Prometheus's mechanical body, bring her body over for me to see. If even I can't find the backdoor, then you don't need to worry about anyone else. If I can see it, I'll help you improve it."

Although Wilvi didn't think Chen Luo's skills were so advanced that even she couldn't see where the backdoor was, after all, he was her student, considering Chen Luo's alien identity... perhaps there was a slight possibility.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Don't be so perfunctory, I'm really amazing. Lolo, you know me."

"Yes, yes, I really can't do anything with you."

Why do you say that as if I'm begging you?

"By the way, Sister Velvi, what do you think of that technology that can split a person's thoughts into multiple parts and allow them to think about different things at the same time?" Chen Luo asked Velvi.

Chen Luo wasn't alluding to Velvi's own ability to split her mind. While Velvi currently possesses a similar ability, she has only split her mind into a few parts. To truly create eight versions of herself, she'll have to wait until she becomes a Fusion Warrior.

The ability to divide one's own thoughts into multiple parts here refers to the Atlas Institute's split-thinking magic.

This involves dividing one's thinking into multiple thought loops, all with the same goal, exchanging information with each other, and having a multiplicative effect between them.

For example, making 4 divisions of thought will result in 4 to the power of 4 (256) thoughts.

Alchemists belonging to the Atlas Institute must be able to divide their thoughts into at least three parts; five parts is considered genius; and it is said that the most outstanding dean can divide them into eight parts.

Chen Luo really felt that this technology was very suitable for Vervi.

After becoming a fusion warrior, Velvi will be able to have at least eight versions of herself.

Even if Velvey's ability to divide her thoughts might be slightly different from this split thinking, it certainly wouldn't be much different after she becomes a fusion warrior.

And perhaps this would allow multiple versions of Vilvie to think simultaneously.

This way, it won't be a situation where only one person can be outside at a time.

Furthermore, the Atlas Academy's creed coincides with Velvet's: we don't need to become the strongest ourselves, we only need to create the strongest.

The reality is that this group of people ultimately created seven weapons capable of destroying the world.

The fact that the tiny Atlas Institute could destroy the world seven times is enough to show just how useless the Clock Tower really is.

"...Although I don't know the specific principles behind the Atlas Institute's split-thought ability you mentioned, it's best not to manipulate your own thoughts unless absolutely necessary. That's my advice to you," Wilvi said to Chen Luo in a tone of someone who had been through it all.

Did Velvi create other personalities to make herself more talented? No, Velvi created other personalities because she was socially awkward (feeling that she was too incompetent to live up to the name Velvi), and then had them take over this body.

"But I really want to say this once: Please, my other self."

Yes, yes, I really can't do anything with you.

I didn't call you.

“Don’t try to divide your thoughts for this reason, you idiot. But if you really could acquire that skill, you can’t use it, but I can use it. I’m not jealous of you, I’m warning you,” Velvi said.

"Okay, I'll check if they sell this kind of knowledge in the Imaginary Number Tree later, and if they do, I'll get you a copy."

"Huh? It really works?" Velvi was taken aback.

"Why not? Although the possibility is very small, what if it really works?"

However, if Chen Luo were to actually gift Velvet this technology, it would have to be done much later. Otherwise, he was afraid that Velvet, with her ability to think in multiple segments, would simply overpower the Herrscher of the End.

Although the possibility is small, it's not impossible.

Mei, Mebius, Vervière, Sue... none of these people are suitable to be given this skill right now.

However, if Chen Luo wants to make this split-thinking ability suitable for Velvi, he will need to consult the Book of Akasha twice.

One time was to look up the method of split thinking in the Book of Akasha in the Moon World, and the other time was to come to the Honkai World to find out how to make Velvet more compatible with [split thinking].

Velvey can have more than just eight personalities; she can actually have even more. For example, one of her personalities (the Instructor) sacrificed herself to lift the restrictions imposed on Velvey by Aponia.

The rules of Aponia are absolute, but there are so many Velvies. If one is sacrificed, the others will no longer have to abide by these rules.

Vilvi exploited this loophole to escape the rules.

There is no upper limit to the division of Vervi's mind, but there is a limit to the number of mental divisions that can be made. If there are too many divisions, the intelligence of each part of Vervi will decrease. Therefore, Vervi only divides into 8 personalities at the same time, because it would be difficult to maintain the genius level if there are more than 8.

But this means that even 1/8 of a Velvet would be considered a genius.

If segmented thinking ability can truly be applied to Velvi and combined with the ability to segment thoughts, then...

That would be terrifying.

"Then I'll leave it to you." Wilvi patted Chen Luo on the shoulder, but didn't have high hopes for the matter.

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. By the way, Sister Velvi, if you ever decide to become a fusion warrior, remember to let me know."

"Huh? Oh, I see, I'm a suitable candidate too, right?" Velvi asked after a moment of surprise.

"Yes. But I didn't intend for you, Sister Wilvi, to carry out such a dangerous plan. I just suddenly remembered that I promised to help you with the fusion surgery because of this."

When Chen Luo was planning to beat up a high-ranking member of the Fire Moth in order to infiltrate the deepest part of the world and be confined for a month, he also asked Wilvi for help. His reward was to help Wilvi perform a fusion surgery.

Although it seems perfectly reasonable for them to help each other out now, Chen Luo still has other requests to make.

"Only I can perform the fusion surgery on you. You must not go to anyone else, or I will be jealous."

"Hahaha, Xiao Luo, you really have a strange competitive spirit. Alright, alright, I know."

Although that's what Chen Luo said, Wilvi always felt that Chen Luo was afraid that if he had someone else perform the fusion surgery, he might accidentally die.

After all, Chen Luo is the only one in the entire Fire Moth clan who can perform fusion surgery on people while guaranteeing that they will not die.

"Don't laugh, this is a very serious matter."

Whether it's for the sake of entrusting the matter, for the sake of Vervi's safety, or for the sake of maintaining the stability of the world line, Vervi cannot turn to anyone else.

Even disregarding his ability to resurrect, Chen Luo's success rate and proficiency in performing fusion surgeries within the Fire-Chasing Moths are among the best.

In this respect, Chen Luobi might be a bit better than Mebius, because practice makes perfect.

"Yes, yes, yes...right, there's no time like the present, let's do the fusion surgery today. After becoming a fusion warrior, I can go to that dream world to help out."

"Shouldn't we stop here? So hastily? Besides, that dream world is very dangerous. It may seem calm on the surface, but there are turbulent undercurrents..."

"Most importantly, Dr. Mei told me to conserve my energy. If Dr. Mei finds out that I performed the fusion surgery on you last time, I'll get scolded."

"You dared to leave a backdoor in Prometheus's mechanical body, are you afraid of being scolded by Dr. Mei? It's better to be lucky than early. Just do the fusion surgery for me now."

"Is fusion surgery such a trivial matter?"

“If you don’t perform the fusion surgery on me, I will tell Dr. May about your plan to leave a backdoor in Prometheus’s body.”

"Sister Wilvi, how dare you use this to threaten me?"

"Let's go, stop dawdling. Your time is limited, we need to hurry." Velvi has always been someone who finds it hard to give up once she gets interested in something, like becoming a fusion warrior.

"Remember, keep it a secret for now, then give everyone else a big surprise!"

"I haven't agreed to it yet."

"Isn't your body being honest? It's already come with me."

"...You're so annoying."

Under the threat and temptation of Vervi, Chen Luo finally succumbed to Vervi's charms.

Chen Luo has a private operating room for performing fusion surgery.

Geniuses always receive some preferential treatment, and with Eden's financial support, the Fire Moths are not stingy when it comes to money.

Because many soldiers of the Fire Moth were out conducting various screenings in an attempt to locate the Eighth Herrscher and suppress Honkai Beasts, which appeared more frequently around the world after the appearance of the Eighth Herrscher, the number of Fire Moth members was somewhat reduced.

Furthermore, since both Vervie and Chen Luo were important researchers within the Firemoth organization and held high positions, they encountered no obstacles when they entered the Firemoth's Honkai Beast gene bank to search for suitable Honkai Beast genes.

While Chen Luo was searching for suitable Honkai Beast genes in the gene bank, he encountered other doctors. After seeing Chen Luo and Wilvie beside him, one of the doctors kindly invited Chen Luo and Wilvie to choose first.

Because of the Eighth Herrscher, the Firemoth has started to pay more attention to the mental perception-type fusion warriors who were originally regarded as logistical personnel, so the frequency of fusion surgeries has increased, although the success rate is rather disappointing.
