I already said this is not a life simulator!

[You returned to Mobius's laboratory, and under Mobius's leadership, you officially started some research on Honkai belonging to "Fire Moth". In addition, you also need to process Mobius's experimental data, take care of Mobius' daily routine, and supervise her daily exercise... It's not easy to make her body better, you can't let her waste it]

[And you also have to take care of your daily life. In addition to daily exercise and vocal practice, you have to adjust your schedule according to Mobius's situation. You also have to contact Eden and Yin from time to time to help connect the two sides...]

[It must be said that Eden is really amazing. After gaining popularity on the Internet, she unexpectedly received many invitations to perform. She agreed and soon earned a lot of fame for herself. She then registered her own company, which can be regarded as avoiding the recurrence of disagreements with the agency.]

[However, during this process, did Eden's family secretly help? There should be some, but not much.]

[Anyway, after a lot of hard work, Eden's career as a singer was on the right track, and you took the opportunity to contact Yin and introduced Ying to Eden... When the two met, he also contacted you and teased you during the communication.]

[However, Eden is very satisfied with Sakura. Sakura has a great figure, and when paired with the clothes designed by Eden, it can be said that she has a unique beauty... Sakura has been on the cover of three magazines so far. It can be said that Sakura is now quite famous.]

[In addition, Sakura's martial arts skills are not bad either, so while serving as Eden's exclusive women's clothing model, she is also responsible for being Eden's bodyguard.]

[And because of Sakura's plot, Gin also made a lot of money, which made those who had doubts about Gin's decision admire him and let Gin vent his anger... At the same time, Gin was also glad that her and Li's "intuition" was not wrong.]

[At the same time, you also need to run back and forth between the laboratory and the engineering department, after all, you have a project to research with Weiwei.]

[Of course, your main purpose of going to the Engineering Department is to comply with the requests of other people in the Engineering Department and restrict Wei Weiwei... Wei Weiwei has really become the top leader there now.]

[Only Velvet can handle those outrageous designs, and those weird designs are unexpectedly useful, so "Fire Moth" is willing to tilt power and funds towards Velvet]

[Those in the engineering department also admired Weiwei for her incredible hands-on and design abilities, and were willing to work under her.]

[But... sometimes Vivi's designs are too outrageous, and she often uses the funds to come up with more outrageous designs, such as energy lightsabers or environmental transformation machines, or even amphibious warships... and so on.]

[In short, in order to prevent Wei Wei's imagination from going too far, the people in the engineering department are begging you to go over there and take care of Wei Wei, so that she can come up with some relatively reasonable designs to deal with the "Fire Moth" first.]

[Uh... yes, actually the people in the engineering department are not very opposed to Wei Wei's imaginative designs, although sometimes from their own point of view, Wei Wei's designs are simply impossible to realize.]

[However, after seeing that Wei Wei was able to complete her own design, their pride was aroused, and they began to try to complete Wei Wei's design with their own understanding. In the process of research, they also developed a lot of things themselves, which made them quite excited.]

[As for the purpose of asking you to take care of Velvet... it's mainly because they know that if they don't come up with some designs that satisfy the "Fire Moth", their funding will be cut, and then they won't be able to do those unnecessary things.]

[There is no way, this is the gap between ideal and reality... They have to consider the funding of the department]

[And you and Velvet also advanced your research rapidly under such circumstances. With the research data on Honkai provided by Mobius and the joint efforts of everyone in the Engineering Department, you successfully completed a new generation of...experimental products.]

[There is no other way. Nano-level materials are still too troublesome. If you want to continue to advance, you have to keep working hard.]

[However, the new generation of test products has solved the problem of Honkai energy corroding weapon materials to a certain extent, extending the life of the originally designed Honkai energy weapons from the state of "being scrapped after a few uses" to "half a year"]

[To put it simply, under normal operation and without continuous high-intensity combat, this new weapon can be used by soldiers for half a year]

[This is already a very good data]

[At the same time, the "Second Great Collapse" broke out]

[It seems that it is time to test your research results]

Chapter 4673 [Progress/Evolution] Always Comes With [Cost/Sacrifice] ()

"Take back the doctor's badge? Why didn't you even notify me?"

Xi Wang followed behind Mebius, helping her record data while taking note of the situation in front of him, and at the same time answering questions from the visitors.

In front of Mobius and Xiwang was a medical restraint chair, and bound on it was an ordinary warrior who also belonged to the "Fire Moth"...but this warrior had a pale face, was obviously physically weak, and his mental state was also extremely poor, and there was often a hint of unreasonable cruelty in his eyes.

This seems to be a disease, a disease related to collapse.

"And... Miss, although I know the doctor has a bad reputation outside, it shouldn't be necessary for him to wear a gas mask when entering here."

Xiwang glanced at the person who came uninvited, fully armed, with not an inch of skin exposed to the air of the laboratory... Xiwang's tone was not very good.

"This isn't a dangerous place, so you shouldn't be so alert. Besides... I think my memory is pretty good, but I don't think I've heard your voice in the Fire Moth... New here? Which department are you from?"

"Oh~ Xiwang, you know, not everyone is like you and Miss Blanca. There are only a few people who dare to step into this laboratory alone. Even I had to encourage myself before coming here, okay?"

The man responded to Xi Wang very naturally, and his cheerful tone could not be blocked even by the heavy mask.

"Regarding the badge issue...because the badge distribution system has been revised, this batch of numbered badges need to be recycled. All future badges will be unnumbered versions."

"As for the gas mask...safety first, right?"

"........."

Xi Wang glanced at her, and the meaning revealed in his eyes was very clear... Even after saying so much, she did not reveal her name and identity, and even deliberately avoided the question.

"Okay, little one, give it to her."

Mebius spoke up.

"There's no need for us to disrupt our progress because of such a small matter... and it doesn't affect me at all."

"…I understand, Doctor."

Xi Wang nodded, then took out the badge that symbolized Mobius and had the number "1" engraved on the back from the drawer, intending to hand it to the person at the door.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Dr. Mobius~"

The man's tone was still light, but there was a sense of "slight relief" in his words.

"The new badge will be delivered to your lab within a week."

"........."

Xiwang glanced at her again.

"No, just give it to the little guy, he will bring it back to me."

Mobius didn't seem to notice the problem with this statement... Maybe Mobius thought she was really new.

"Good~"

She responded softly, then reached out to take the badge in Xiwang's hand.

"……etc."

Mebius suddenly spoke up.

Xi Wang also instantly grasped the badge in his hand and took a half step back to avoid the hand she extended.

"…What's wrong, Dr. Mobius?"

She looked at Xi Wang's alert expression and felt a little embarrassed, but still asked politely.

"I want to know something."

Mebius turned and looked at her.

"Although you all want to hide it from us and even find all kinds of weird reasons, but... if you want to know something, you don't need to "see it with your own eyes."

"You ordered the engineering department to make more weapons, so the engineering department needs to recycle and scrap more weapons, right? Wei Wei rarely came to complain to the little guy about this, so..."

Mebius's eyes turned serious.

"Tell us about the Second Great Collapse."

"Ah... Doctor, so this is what you wanted to ask."

She seemed a little relieved to hear that what Mobius wanted to know was the situation on the front line rather than the internal affairs of the "Fire Moth".

"Please rest assured. With your help, everyone is doing fine. At least the front is stable. However... due to the special nature of the Second Herrscher, we have not yet found an opportunity to defeat it. Therefore, the current situation... can be considered a stalemate."

"We have limited the scope of the Honkai, but we are unable to deal with the Second Herrscher either... However, this is only "temporary"~"

"Ok?"

Mebius crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow, motioning for her to continue.

"As far as I know, there is a lovely, beautiful and powerful girl who has just joined the "Fire Moth" as a warrior... I believe that she will find a breakthrough in this battle and help us survive this collapse~?"

"........."

Just as she was answering Mebius in a light tone, Xi Wang's slightly scrutinizing gaze swept over her again, making her sweat.

"...Hmph, I hope so."

Mebius looked at her again, then snorted and turned his head away, no longer looking at her.

"Give it to her, little one."

"Okay~ Thank you very much~?"

After taking the badge from Xiwang's hand, she responded with a little joy, then left politely.

"……PhD."

"Don't mind her, little one."

Mebius said without looking up.

"If she can really do it, then it's okay to give her the badge... Besides, if my badge is taken away by someone with ulterior motives, the ones who should be worried are not us, but the Fire Moth."

"I see, Doctor."

Xiwang nodded and no longer cared.

"Okay, little guy... Where are the reagents you prepared earlier? Take them out and try them out. Remember to record the results."

"it is good."

Xi Wang nodded, and then looked at the soldier who was tied to the chair.

"It's okay, Xiwang. I agreed to come here, which means I know what I will have to endure... The worst outcome is death."

The soldier put on a weak and feeble smile and spoke softly.

"Don't make it sound like I did something to you, okay?"

Mebius frowned and said with some displeasure.

"Give me some spirit and will to live, soldier."

"I don't want to have to collect data again because of your own self-destructive consciousness, and I don't want to trouble the little guy to go out again."

"Hah… sorry, Doc."

He smiled bitterly, apologizing for his mistaken remarks.

"…I'm sorry for the misunderstandings I had with you before."

"Don't talk about us. Do you really hate the little guy?"

Mebius frowned again.

"……Feel sorry."

He lowered his eyes slightly and apologized again.

"We only hope that our meager lives and bodies... can bring you some help."

"And...Xiwang, I'll ask you to deliver the letter I left behind to my family when the time comes..."

"Well, but it would be better if you take it back yourself, right?"

Xi Wang glanced at him and then responded softly.

“Ha… that’s right.”

"You talk a lot."

Mebius took the reagent from Xiwang's hand, took out a part of it with a syringe, and injected it into his body.

"If you have the time, you might as well save your energy so that you can scream out when you feel the pain later."

"I'm sorry, Doctor..."

His smile was forced.

"I don't feel the pain anymore."

"…………whispering sound."

Mebius was silent for a long time, and finally just smacked his lips and said nothing.

...In the end, the soldier couldn't hold on.

When the purple lines appeared, his spirit completely collapsed, and after spending a period of time in a daze, he began to behave in an inhuman manner.

He... has become a "monster".

At last……

boom!

Boom!
