I already said this is not a life simulator!

"It's okay. Xiwang is a very nice person, right? Mom and Dad can tell from his singing, right?"

Eden blinked and said with a slight smile.

"And... Xiwang actually sensed it, didn't he? I wasn't drunk~ And mom and dad's disguise was so poor that he found out right away~"

"Especially Dad, his scrutiny was so severe~ Even I could feel it~"

"But I just can't help it!"

Eden's father, who was sitting in the driver's seat, said with gritted teeth.

"A brat who wanted to kidnap my daughter right after we met... I was very polite by not going up to him and causing trouble, okay?"

"And you, Eden, are so brave. To be honest, if that brat hadn't been a bit polite and had a good personality, you would have been eaten up long ago... Was all our previous efforts to educate you in vain?"

"How come, Dad?"

Eden blinked and smiled.

"It's because of him that I do this~"

"If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't do this to anyone else~"

"Alright, alright, dear, stop talking...your dad is going to be mad at you."

"Haha~"

Eden smiled softly, leaning to one side and leaning against the car window.

Raise your eyes slightly and look at the night sky tonight.

The sky was clear, without a trace of dark clouds, as if God had blessed the sky and it had rained early in the morning, clearing away all the clouds in the sky, just to show everyone the starry night tonight.

"Today's starry sky... is very beautiful..."

Eden's eyes were blurry and he was mumbling.

In a trance, she seemed to be able to see a pair of extremely shining "double stars" in the sky, which made people envious and nostalgic.

Great... Eden thought.

It’s so wonderful to be able to see all this, to be able to see all this…

Everything is so perfect, everything is so lucky.

Being able to know you in the beginning and to meet you now is really... great.

Eden slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep due to the alcohol and the comfortable temperature in the car.

Chapter 4343: Mebius: Now You Belong to Me (Assistant) ()

"Hello, Dr. Mebius."

"I'm not good."

When Xi Wang returned to the laboratory to report back, Mebius didn't even turn his head. He just looked at the instrument in front of him and recorded some data.

"…What's wrong, Doctor? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Xi Wang looked at Blanca beside him and saw that she shrugged helplessly, telling him that she could not help. He could only take the initiative to step forward and asked while habitually picking up the materials around her. At the same time, he quickly read the contents while cleaning up to understand the latest situation of the laboratory.

"not at all."

Mebius' tone was calm.

"…Dr. Mobius, it's not good for your health to keep things to yourself. I don't want the health I helped you to improve to be ruined because of some unnecessary misunderstandings."

After taking a quick look at Mebius's condition and seeing that she had reached the last part of the data she was recording, Xi Wang was silent for a while. Only after she stopped writing did he speak.

"If you are angry about my lateness, then I apologize."

"No, you are not late, on the contrary, you are on time."

After finishing the first stage of data recording, Mobius raised his head and handed the recorded data to Blanca beside him while speaking expressionlessly.

"I don't mean to complain about you. After all, you have always behaved well."

"…Okay, Dr. Mebius, I apologize for not keeping my promise to come back earlier."

Looking at Blanca's slightly teasing expression, Xiwang knocked his head in distress and then said.

"I know you suddenly had something to do and went to watch your girlfriend's performance."

“…No, it’s not.”

Xi Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

"She's not my girlfriend."

"Not yet, at least?"

"Ha... Dr. Mebius, are you a little too sensitive about this issue? Are you so worried about the matter between Senior Blanca and Hen?"

"Heh... I was just wondering if I've delayed you. You have such a great talent for music, maybe you can have a better career in the music industry than following me?"

When Blanca was mentioned, Mebius became annoyed, and even his tone of voice changed.

Originally, Blanca was kidnapped and made Mebius very unhappy. But Xiwang was even better. Not only did she ask for leave when she wanted to officially make Xiwang her assistant, but she also "fooled around" with other girls after running away...

If it were just that, it would be fine, but he actually performed so well that even Mobius himself listened to his performance patiently under the starry night... Mobius didn't say anything about it, but why did someone record it and upload it to the Internet?

How come the intimate interaction with the girl named Eden was recorded again?

Tsk... I promised to come back early, but in the end I still came back late... And it was because of something like this...

Really, one by one, they are all confused by love and dazzled by the opposite sex... and it just happens to happen at the same time!

No matter how good Mobius' mood was, it would turn bad at this moment.

"Dr. Mobius... If I really wanted to develop in that direction, I would have debuted long ago instead of studying in school. I would not come here just for a research."

Xi Wang paused for a moment before speaking.

"Besides, after seeing what Honkai is, I think... a researcher, a doctor, a warrior can be more helpful to the cause of fighting Honkai than an artist."

“…Haha, that sounds nice.”

After a moment of silence, Mebius slowly spoke.

"But you've passed."

"But you are wrong about one thing... Artists can also play their roles, and they are not as bad as you said."

"I know, it's just relative."

Xiwang nodded.

"In addition, artists, or famous artists, have a unique advantage..."

"Ok?"

Xiwang looked at Mebius with some surprise, because he heard a little bit of... unwillingness in her tone.

“…They have money.”

Mebius leaned down, as if trying to hide his unhappy expression, opened the drawer, and rummaged through the messy documents for the thing he had prepared earlier, speaking with a hint of resentment.

"…Dr. Mobius, have you received another penalty notice?"

Xi Wang was silent for a while before slowly asking.

"...Little guy, sometimes being too sharp-minded isn't very pleasing to others."

"No? I've only been gone for a short time? Sister Blanca, you too, why don't you keep an eye on the doctor?!"

"Junior brother, you know, if the doctor really wants to do something, I can't stop him..."

"Humph, it's just that those mediocre people don't understand my experiment..."

"But why does the penalty ticket say that you, Doctor, kidnapped people to participate in experiments without permission?"

“…Damn it, where did you get this from?!”

"I found it in the third drawer from the second cabinet on your right... Dr. Mobius, I have to remind you that no matter how urgent the situation is, it is better to get their consent when recruiting experimental subjects."

Xi Wang looked at the penalty notice in his hand and said helplessly.

"Otherwise, the Fire Moth will cut the lab's budget..."

"Humph, it doesn't matter. As long as we show them results and achievements, they will shut up themselves."

Mebius snorted coldly and didn't care about what Xi Wang said.

However, this is indeed the case, because at present, in terms of research on Honkai, "Fire Moth" really can't find someone who has done more in-depth research than Mobius and who can produce results the fastest. Therefore, no matter how reluctant "Fire Moth" is, he will still allocate funds to the laboratory.

At most... they would cut the funding on paper, and use the funds to threaten Mebius, as a verbal warning, telling Mebius that they could no longer accept a certain behavior of Mebius and asked her to stop immediately, or to signal her not to go too far in doing something.

And Mebius would also stop and give them some face... This is something that both parties understand tacitly.

"Besides, little guy... you know that if you want someone to sign up to be my experimental subject, it would be better to kill them directly... In this case, how could anyone come?"

Mebius shrugged and covered half of his face with the document bag in his hand, leaving only a pair of slightly dangerous eyes.

"For this reason, I have no choice but to use some special means. Otherwise, my experiment will not be able to proceed. There will be no results. Then they will find an excuse to really cut our funding, and then we will fall into a vicious cycle... That will be the worst situation~"

"Or can you think of a better solution, little one?"

"...Well, I'll go negotiate with them later."

Xi Wang rubbed his brows and thought for a while before saying this.

"Oh? You're really brave, little guy~"

Mebius narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Are you planning to kidnap those people on my behalf?"

"Doctor, please don't use words like 'abduction' which are so offensive and misunderstood... Really, don't you think about how your reputation has become so bad?"

Xiwang felt a headache about the way Mebius spoke.

"Anyway, leave this matter to me first... Doctor, you can guarantee that the experimenters can survive, right?"

“…I can’t guarantee that everyone will survive.”

When talking about this, Mebius put away his previous casual look and spoke seriously.

"Because experiments are always accompanied by danger, but I will do my best to ensure the survival of the experimenters... every time."

"But if there are special changes during the experiment, and they are changes that can advance the progress of the research, right?"

"That's right~ You know me very well, little guy~"

"Ugh……"

"Okay, little guy, while you're back, I also have some good news to tell you~"

Mebius stood up and put the wrapped document in his hand into Xiwang's hand.

"open to take a look?"

"........."

Xi Wang silently opened it, took out the documents and some other things inside, looked at the shining [Graduation Certificate] and the congratulatory letters from the principal and tutor, and fell silent for a while.

"PhD……"

Xi Wang put down what he was holding, and his tone was somewhat tired and helpless.

"Hush - little guy, no need to thank me. You won't have to run back to school to register anymore."

Mebius placed his finger lightly on his lips, signaling Xi Wang not to say anything more, and then reached out and gently tapped his chest.

"After all, from now on...you are mine."

"I hope you can add the word [assistant], Doctor."

"Hehe~ Then, come on, little guy, help me record the data, Blanca, prepare the materials for the experiment."

"Okay, Doctor." x2
