Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

Tesla and Einstein looked at each other, and felt a chill all over their bodies.

"Anti-entropy...is it still our anti-entropy?"

Damn it, how are we going to explain this to Yang, Joyce, and the rest of our friends?

"Should we ask Lin Wei for help? His Corrosion Key would be most useful at a time like this."

Einstein suggested,

"What's more, at this time, we can also take this opportunity to verify whether the 'friendship' between us really exists."

"...Chicken Coop Head, don't you think we're embarrassed enough in front of him?"

Tesla seemed to be under pressure and refused on the spot.

"That guy is already so arrogant now. If he knew our current situation, he would probably be even more arrogant!"

Einstein leaned lazily against the door frame, looking at her calmly, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

"Okay! I know now is not the time to be willful..."

Tesla scratched his hair in pain, whimpered a few times, and said in self-abandonment,

"...I...I'll call him right now..."

Just as Tesla was about to start and bow to Lin Wei, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a staff member from the Anti-Entropy Headquarters rushed in sweating profusely, with a thick stack of reports on the ground.

"Report, doctors... We have discovered some unusual conditions. Please review them!"

Tesla and Aiyin perked up after hearing this, putting the matter of contacting Lin Wei behind their minds. They took the heavy document and began to read it. While reading, they also listened to the report of the hardworking staff member.

"We've noticed some very strange financial and personnel changes recently. A significant amount of funds and supplies were temporarily diverted, and their whereabouts remain unknown. Upon tracing their source, we found that many of these funds and supplies came from those branches with abnormal behavior. And..."

The employee hesitated to speak.

"Any more bad news? Never mind, tell us all at once. Dr. Tesla and I can handle it."

Seeing Tesla flipping through the pages at an increasingly furious pace, Aiyin couldn't help but take over the conversation with the employees.

"Also... concurrently with these financial flows, a large number of personnel were temporarily transferred, their whereabouts unknown... Almost all of them..."

"Cokolia!"

Tesla finally turned the page and saw the answer, and suddenly felt that everything was explained.

"It's you, a vixen, who's behind this again!"

………………

"Dr. Tesla, since Cocolia isn't here, instead of getting angry here, why not go back and think about how to get in touch with her?"

Einstein came back to his senses from his memories and spoke softly to Tesla, thinking to himself, I can't trouble Lin Wei again?

Now that the culprit has been found, there is no need for them to expose their family scandal to Lin Wei, and naturally they did not really contact him.

"Get in touch? Humph, that's easy to say..."

Tesla, who had vented his anger, seemed a little weak at the moment. He just gritted his teeth and said,

"She's almost independent! How could we possibly find her?"

"Self-reliance? Who do you say wants to be self-reliant?"

At this moment, the large screen on the wall suddenly lit up, and Cocolia's image proudly appeared on the screen, looking at the two uninvited guests with some surprise.

"I just received an alarm. Someone suddenly broke into my house, so I took the time to come and see who the uninvited guests were... I didn't expect it to be you two. You are really rare guests..."

Cocolia didn't know how big a blame she had to bear.

She seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, and was not angry at the two doctors who obviously had bad intentions.

"Cocolia, you..."

Tesla's anger rose again. How dare you appear in front of me in such a [civilized] way?

Just as he was about to start cursing, Aiyin stopped him with her hand, so he had no choice but to shut up and just glared at Cocolia on the screen.

"Ms. Cocolia, we are here to see you."

Einstein's voice was always calm and emotionless.

"We've discovered a large amount of unexpected financial and personnel movements within the organization recently. We're here to ask for an explanation. And..."

Aiyin glanced at the lush forest behind Cocolia.

"Ms. Cocolia, what are you doing now?"

The tragedy in Changkong City has caused extremely serious damage to the reputation of Anti-Entropy. They don’t want this to happen again, so they must know everything about Cocolia’s every move.

"Oh? You're talking about this... I'm on an island in the Pacific Ocean right now."

Cocolia looked around and said with some pride,

"I recently discovered the remains of a former civilization, untouched by Heaven's Mandate, and I think they're worth exploring. To prevent this from leaking out and potentially causing trouble for Heaven's Mandate's men, I'm personally overseeing the situation. There's no need to report this to you, right?"

Cocolia had always wanted to stand out from these stubborn and conservative guys, so she naturally took this opportunity to make some sarcastic remarks.

"you!"

Tesla was about to explode again, but Aiyin pulled her back and said,

"Since these are previously undiscovered remains of a previous civilization, they should naturally be kept secret until excavation is complete. You've done a great job on this, Ms. Cocolia."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Kokolia accepted it proudly.

"But there is still one question that requires your explanation, Ms. Cocolia..."

Einstein used courtesy before force.

"There's been a huge flow of funds and supplies within the organization recently, suggesting they're all connected to you. Is it necessary to go to such great lengths to explore a few ruins?"

"Emptying the anti-entropy? Dr. Einstein, what crime are you going to accuse me of?"

Cocolia didn't understand what was going on and felt she was being framed. She snorted and sneered in displeasure.

"Unfortunately, the ruins lie very deep under the sea, which is why they've avoided the locust-like excavation by Tianming over the years... But everything has its pros and cons. Now that we want to explore it, it will naturally cost us some money. I'm sure you, Doctor, can understand this."

Tesla finally couldn't help it, jumped up and pointed at the screen and shouted,

"Spend some money? She's almost drained out the anti-entropy!"

"Ok?"

Cocolia was confused and felt that the lobster-headed doctor in front of her was making trouble by taking advantage of the situation again.

"...Well, Ms. Cocolia, now that things have happened, we hope that these huge amounts of money can be spent wisely."

Aiyin, who was always calm, took the lead in the talks again. She was trying to find a way to stop the loss for the organization.

"What kind of ruins are these that would make you willing to spend such a huge amount of money?"

"What kind of ruins? Do you know where I am now?"

At this point, Cocolia couldn't help but get a little excited, asking and answering herself.

"I'm in the Pacific Ocean! This was a continent before civilization. Even before civilization, it was Mu Continent, the most technologically advanced and brilliantly civilized continent!"

Then, Cocolia seemed to calm down and said,

"According to the intelligence I've received, there's a mysterious device within the ruins, a culmination of technology from a previous civilization. It connects to a mysterious dimension—the quantum realm. I believe exploring it could provide new insights into our quest to defeat the Houkai."

Huh? What the hell?

Tesla became excited after hearing the news and exchanged glances with Einstein.

If this is true, wouldn't it be a huge profit?

What Cocolia did was not fair, but if it was true, wouldn't it be a great thing?

In the face of such a matter of right and wrong, would we try to trip you up?

What's the point of being sneaky and hiding things?

The two doctors were a little confused about Cocolia's train of thought.

"...Ms. Cocolia, shouldn't we all sit down together to discuss this important matter and come up with the most suitable plan before proceeding?"

Einstein felt a little helpless when he said this. Why did he seem to be the villain who picked peaches?

"Hmph, that's easy for you to say. I discovered this relic alone!"

Cocolia also took advantage of the situation and planned to raise the price.

Yes, she was not going to turn these two doctors away.

In fact, during the preliminary exploration of the underwater ruins, she had already discovered that this was not something she could handle alone, and that two doctors with extremely high scientific literacy had to be involved in order to successfully excavate it.

"What else do you want!"

Tesla feels a little aggrieved. We are not going to hold you accountable for what you did before; for the sake of this relic, we will regard the funds you embezzled and the technologies you stole as an advance investment.

And now, you still want to ask for an exorbitant price?

Tesla became furious and prepared to trick this hateful woman.

He rolled his eyes, suddenly had an idea, and said,

"Cocolia, haven't you always wanted to get something from me?"

"Oh? Really? Dr. Tesla, what can you offer?"

"My strongest design—Heavenly Father!"

Tesla smiled evilly.

"It comes with a complete set of drawings. I can even give you some technical guidance as needed so you can master it smoothly. How about that? Are you satisfied with the price?"

Einstein glanced at her sideways and said nothing.

That thing was simply a design Tesla came up with one time when he was drunk, and it has no practical value at all.

The reason is simple - it is too big, so big that no engine can drive it.

According to Tesla's own calculations after he sobered up, in order to drive such a large mecha into combat, it would probably require a complete Herrscher core as the energy center.

After reaching this conclusion, Tesla put it aside with a dejected look on her face. In her own words:

"If I had a Herrscher Core, wouldn't it be better to use it to make a Divine Key? Wouldn't that be more practical than this thing?"

Since then, "Skyfather" has always been regarded by Tesla as the most failed design in his life, without a doubt.

But for some reason, after learning of its existence, Cocolia became very interested in it and repeatedly proposed to build it, but was rejected by Tesla himself.

"Who the hell are you insulting?"

But at this point, Tesla felt it was only right to use this set of unwanted design drawings to disgust Cocolia.

Cocolia on the screen couldn't help but get excited after hearing the price.

"Are you serious?"

She had really wanted Heavenly Father's blueprint for a long time.

She didn't understand, why didn't they build such a powerful design?

Or maybe these two nerds are just too clueless! Cocolia concluded.

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Tesla gave a wicked smile.

Can you build one for me?

If it is really created, you will cry!

Tesla felt relieved just thinking about this scene.

This is what you wanted!

I'm not forcing you!

In any case, the two parties that reached an agreement got along quite well in the subsequent talks.

Two days later, the two doctors, ready to go, arrived at the beach, waiting for the submarine sent by Cocolia to pick them up. They boarded the submarine and dived directly into the ocean, exploring the deep Mariana Trench.

A few days later, Lin Wei, who had learned about Otto's situation, sent a message to the two doctors, but they were already at the bottom of the sea.
