Thanks for the invitation, I am in the state of collapse, brushing attribute upgrade

Although the image shown above is very complicated and makes people dizzy at first glance, Changguang, who personally outlined this structural diagram bit by bit and understood its meaning, found it pleasing to the eye.

"Active yet stable, it almost perfectly confines the Honkai energy within the crystal.

If this technology can be realized through scientific means, then the day when Honkai energy can be truly used by humans may not be far away."

Compared to Changguang who was wrapped tightly, Otto, who was only wearing a white coat and a mask, also had a smile in his voice.

"It seems that, besides being a renowned warrior, Gwyn might even be the first to be recorded in human history because of this discovery..."

"Forehead……"

During the experiment, most of the time was spent on practicing the divine sound, and Gwen only output it when needed according to the two people's requirements. When he heard Otto's words, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Fortunately, besides Gwyn and Otto, there is also Changguang here——

"Bishop Otto, you are a technician after all, so please stop saying such amateurish things.

Right now, we've only obtained an energy distribution diagram; we haven't even figured out the principles behind how it can do this, let alone how it works. Don't just skip over understanding the why and turn it into a mature technological achievement for practical use.

"cough……"

Hearing Changguang's complaints, Otto coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, then chuckled and said,

“Of course I know this, but I was a little too involved when I was imagining the future.

After all, Changguang, you should also know how much manpower and resources Tianming has to spend every year to deal with the corpses of the Honkai beasts and the residual Honkai energy at the Honkai site after the Honkai. "

“Well, that’s something worth thinking about.

However, Bishop Otto, please don’t skip my bonus when the time comes…”

Changguang, who was well aware of the principle that "anyone who points out my faults to my face will be killed without mercy", was relieved to see that Otto did not make a decision on the spur of the moment like some of the "big shots" he had met before, and immediately joked with a smile.

“Those who master this technology in the future will certainly be rewarded accordingly.

However, given the importance of this technology, we are certainly not the only ones conducting research.

Whether you can get this bonus by then depends on your efforts, Changguang..."

Looking at the big white rice dumpling beside him, Otto said with a smile, his eyes almost narrowed into a slit, which made Changguang subconsciously take half a step back.

"Tsk, stingy guy..."

Knowing that Otto was taking revenge for his "criticism" just now, Changguang could only pretend that he didn't understand Otto's "threat" and continued to laugh:

"Alright, even if there's no bonus, considering I worked tirelessly overtime and conquered the energy distribution map in just one month, you could treat us both to a nice meal, right?"

As he spoke, Changguang hugged Gwen and looked at Otto with a smile.

"Of course, I'll pay for your lunch today."

Otto did not continue to pursue Changguang, but agreed with a smile, but then he said,

"However, I still have some things to take care of at noon today, so you two can have lunch by yourselves.

I wish you a pleasant afternoon..."

Otto waved his hand and left the laboratory without waiting for Changguang's response.

"The old man is really stubborn..."

He cursed inwardly, but Changguang, who was holding Gwen's shoulders, patted Gwen's arm again and said,

"Come on, Gwen, let's go have a feast.

Since he's not here, we can eat whatever we want."

"Um……"

Gwyn, who was frowning and watching Otto's departing back, was interrupted by Changguang and instantly lost his thoughts.

Although neither Gwyn nor Changguang were short of money for food, Gwyn could still understand Changguang's happiness of "getting something for free" at the moment.

However, although he understood, Gwen still smiled and kindly reminded:

"Even though you can eat whatever you want, Changguang, you still have to pay attention to the calories—

I remember half a month ago you were complaining to me that you were working overtime and had less time to do the exercises to keep in shape.

"You're still so unlovable..."

When Gwen mentioned his pain point, Changguang rolled his eyes, tapped Gwen lightly on the head, and turned away.

"Don't worry about that. Let's go have a feast and eat him out of money!"

"As long as you don't worry about losing your figure, I don't care. After all, the energy in food is just a drop in the bucket for me..."

Looking at the tightly wrapped Changguang's back, Gwen continued to chatter, and Changguang's footsteps paused and he slowly turned his head -

"You won't be able to find a girlfriend like this, understand..."

Although he was used to playing and joking with Gwyn, Changguang couldn't help but let out a low voice when his sore spot was touched, staring at Gwyn with lifeless eyes.

"Hey..."

Facing Changguang's death stare, Gwen just laughed and didn't care -

Although they had only known each other for a month, they had already reached a relationship of at least verbal buddies, which was just a small matter.

Soon, Changguang, who had changed his clothes, pulled Gwen towards the most expensive restaurant in the headquarters.

As the director of the Saint 1504 Research Institute left the institute with his non-staff experimenters, a figure with heavy steps slowly walked out of the training ground.

In order to prevent herself from falling too far behind, Anna gave up her original idea of taking a day off and instead spent half a day at the training ground.

From her somewhat heavy footsteps, it can be seen that Anna spent half a day in the training ground not just trying to show off, but she was really trying hard.

"Huh... I can't believe how Bianca managed to spend the entire day at the training ground after returning from her mission..."

Although she was exhausted physically, Anna was very happy with her efforts. She wiped away the sweat that oozed from her forehead again, and felt very emotional.

"But this is almost my limit...

Alas, I’m still no match for Gwen and Bianca…”

After expressing her feelings, Anna did not plan to go home and cook for herself, but instead prepared to go out and have a good meal to reward herself.

However, before entering the restaurant, Anna's steps suddenly stopped, and she stared blankly at the two people chatting and laughing in the restaurant...

Chapter 112 Anna: My Head is Buzzing

Despite Gwen's reminder, Changguang still did not hold back when ordering dishes. Including what Gwen ordered, the table was soon filled with plates.

Although Gwyn really wanted to tease Changguang again, he gave up after thinking about his previous death stare. He could only hope that Changguang was ready to lose weight.

Of course, although there was one less topic to talk about, the two of them never stopped talking.

While chatting and laughing, Gwen's heart suddenly moved. He turned his head according to his intuition and saw the chestnut-haired girl standing at the door of the restaurant, looking at him.

"Anna?"

Gwen was a little surprised to meet Anna here, but he still smiled and waved to Anna to come over.

"Ok?"

Looking at Gwen's actions, Changguang raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of Gwen's gaze suspiciously, and saw the girl standing at the door, staring at this side in a daze.

"!"

In an instant, Changguang's eyes lit up——

As a member of the headquarters who frequently surfs the Internet, Changguang had of course seen photos of several heroines in gossip posts about Gwen, and recognized Anna's identity at a glance.

Looking at Anna's dazed expression, Changguang, who had never eaten pork but had seen pigs run, realized what had happened.

After realizing what had happened, Changguang suddenly remembered Otto's inhuman mission.

"Hmm... Otto's mission... maybe we can complete it in a different way?"

Gwen, who had no idea what Changguang was thinking, was surprised by Anna's slowness. He simply stood up and walked to the door, grabbed the little hand that was somehow cold, and pulled Anna in.

"Anna, what's wrong with you? Why are your hands so cold?"

Realizing that something was wrong with Anna, Gwen frowned and looked at Anna, asking uncertainly.

"without……"

Looking at the concerned expression on Gwen's face, Anna pursed her lips, shook her head vigorously, forced a smile, and wanted to say something, but the girl's mind was in a mess and she couldn't say anything. She opened her mouth and pursed her thin lips again, with a crystal flash in her eyes.

"..."

After confirming that something happened to Anna, Gwen was very confused. She was fine when they separated in the morning, so why did she become like this when they met at noon?

While Gwen was thinking about what happened to Anna, Changguang had already walked to Gwen's side, looking sideways at the popular candidate for Gwen's rumored girlfriend, with a puzzled look on his face -

"Um?

Gwen, this is..."

"This is Anna, the instructor who led me into this field and also my good friend."

Hearing Changguang's voice, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to Gwen's mind, and he realized what had happened -

"Isn't this the kind of melodramatic plot from a Qiong Yao drama?"

Muttering in his heart, Gwen calmly introduced Changguang to Anna:

"Come, Anna, let me introduce you. This is Elizabeth Changguang McSmith, the director of the Saint 1504 Institute. She is the director who examined Bianca and the person who led the experiment I conducted.

This morning, thanks to the help of Bishop Otto, the experiment was completed ahead of schedule, so we were able to have a leisurely breakfast here.

Otherwise, we would probably still be eating boxed lunches in the lab.”

"?"

Listening to Gwen's introduction in a steady voice, Anna instantly felt that the dark world became bright again. The sudden warmth from her hand made Anna suddenly feel alive.

The huge impact of the information conflicted greatly with the cognition that had already been established in her mind. For a moment, Anna was unable to react immediately. She could only stammer and ask:

"……real?"

"if not?"

Seeing Anna's expression, Gwen, having confirmed what he was thinking, gripped Anna's hand a little tighter, and with his other hand, he tapped Anna's head.

"Did you think I was just lying to you about going to work this morning, and actually went out on a date?"

"No!

Absolutely not! "

Anna's thoughts were exposed by the words of her beloved in front of her. She immediately shook her head like a rattle, a red cloud rose on her pink little face, and the dark cloud that had just been weighing on her heart was directly thrown into the sky.

As Gwen quickly explained their relationship, Changguang admired Gwen's sharp mind, but a contrived expression of grievance appeared on his face:

"You were just talking sweetly to her, but now you want to cut ties with her when your girlfriend comes?

You really are... Ouch..."

But before Changguang could finish speaking, Gwen had already poked her temples with his index and middle fingers together, causing her to scream in pain.

Then, without waiting for Gwen to refute, Anna loudly retorted:

"No, I'm not. Gwen and I are just ordinary friends..."

But it was Anna who had a stress reaction because of the "little girlfriend" that Changguang had just mentioned.

However, before she could finish, Anna realized that the occasion was not right and her voice became quieter.

The three of them had already attracted the attention of some diners in the hall by whispering as they entered the room. Anna's loud rebuttal now attracted even more attention.

Feeling the gazes that were mixed with curiosity and anticipation, Anna shrank her neck like an ostrich, lowered her head and did not dare to look at Gwen.

"Well, since we happened to meet, let's eat together..."

Gwen, who had resolved the crisis, patted Anna's shoulder gently and smiled, pulling Anna towards the seats where he and Changguang had sat before.

Although it is the first-floor hall of the restaurant, each table has partitions to block the view and provide a relatively private space.

After taking a seat, Anna's hot face, which was no longer aware of those gazes, finally cooled down a little.

Gwen could see that Anna was probably so embarrassed and shy that her toes were about to dig a hole in the soles of her shoes. He politely didn't bring up the previous topic:
