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

No matter which choice he makes, it seems that things will only lead to the same ending - he and Otto will engage in a life-and-death battle in a very short time!

But Lin Wei was not ready for this.

After all, he didn't have enough chips in his hand.

What's more, this kind of outcome is likely to benefit the World Snake Fisherman, which makes Lin Wei even more resistant.

"...I can't possibly be the one to stop the Jackal's plan, right?"

This is the best option at the moment, ending this game early and returning everything to the starting point -

"Stop it, there are only idiots outside..."

Oh, she has bad intentions towards you, yet you still rush to save her?

Lin Wei felt nauseous just thinking about it.

But will that guy listen to advice? In the end, won't he most likely resort to violence?

"...Since you've resorted to force, why don't you just get rid of the jackal?"

Thinking of this, Lin Wei's faint irritation was swept away, and he found another solution to the problem.

"Wait, it doesn't seem impossible?"

As long as the jackal is killed, Otto will lose his prey and return empty-handed. Then the problem will be solved, right?

I still say that, she is already trying to do something bad to you, why should I be polite to her?

If this is the case, then there is no need to consider the issue of Orchiddale.

“But then another question arises…”

Lin Wei took out the aqua blue half-heart-shaped pendant again.

"What about Otto? What about Anna?"

Things are always like this. When you suppress one problem, another one pops up, which makes people feel overwhelmed.

If we give up the plan to frame the World Serpent, should we also give up the plan to kill Otto?

If we give up sniping Otto, what about Anna?

Should I wait for the Great Collapse to break out, and then take advantage of the chaos to sneak up on her, help her heal her injuries, and lead her out of the trap?

Lin Wei thought about it and soon realized that there was another bigger problem here -

"Can Anna, who is now seriously injured and unconscious, withstand the torrent of energy released at the moment of the Great Collapse?"

Just like human resistance, when you are healthy, you can be immune to all diseases; but once the body is severely damaged, it is inevitable that all kinds of diseases will attack.

Could the so-called "Honkai Resistance" be a constant value?

So, you want to gamble?

Lin Wei felt that the risk of this bet was too great and could not accept the outcome of leaving it to fate.

"..."

After weighing and pondering over and over again, Lin Wei let out a long sigh and looked at Yaezakura with some apology.

"It seems that we still have to find a way to remove the elephant in the room..."

Lin Wei didn't know why she felt sorry for Yaezakura.

He just felt that this was not the ending that the naive, impulsive, but kind and enthusiastic girl should have.

What's more, she also used her kindness and enthusiasm to show me true friendship that cannot be ignored.

"If only I didn't know her..."

Lin Wei smiled helplessly.

In that case, he can "do what he can" without any burden, and then "retreat when he encounters difficulties" with peace of mind.

But it’s not like now, whenever I think about the consequences of giving up, I can’t help but take out the pendant and look at it again and again in my hand.

Then ask yourself, will you regret it if you give up?

And every time, the answer is, “Yes.”

Since you will, find a way not to regret it.

"...Yeah, who told you to meddle in other people's business?"

Yaezakura naturally understood Lin Wei's thoughts, and couldn't tell whether she felt more bitter, more relieved, or more emotional.

After all, when they first met, he was also so nosy, rude, barbaric and unreasonable.

She wanted to be angry, but she couldn't get angry. Until the end, she could only look at this man with a complicated expression, and all her thoughts turned into a deep sigh.

Who made him this kind of person?

"..."

Hearing Yaesakura's complex sigh, Lin Wei didn't know how to respond for a moment. He just felt that he seemed to be going further and further down the path of being a "bastard".

He even felt that he was a little wronged.

I clearly didn't have any intentions, but for some reason, as I walked along, I suddenly found myself inexplicably burdened with a lot of debt...

Really, how did things turn out like this?

Lin Wei couldn't understand Sister Li, and finally decided to start -

Never mind, it's already like this, let's move on...

Lin Wei shook her head, throwing away all those weird thoughts and refocusing herself on the present. Then she discovered a new problem—

"Tsk, where can I get some soul steel?"

Lin Wei felt helpless.

It is easy to come up with a plan, but if you really want to implement it, you will find that problems really come one after another!

It never ends, it’s so annoying!

"Soul steel?"

Yaezakura was also attracted by this term, feeling a little strange.

"What are you looking for this for?"

After furthering her studies in Paradise, Yae Sakura's personality remained the same, but in terms of knowledge, she was no longer the country girl she used to be - she still knew what Soul Steel was.

"Otto's soul steel body may not be destroyed immediately using only the projected Third God Key."

Lin Wei explained patiently,

"If we use soul steel to make bullets, coupled with the power of the Divine Key, it will surely be infallible!"

Solve problems one by one. Since there is no solution to the problem of Orchiddale in the short term, let's start with solving other problems.

only……

The idea is good, but I really don’t know where to find it.

Otto has a lot of them, but he can't even reach them...

"That bastard Otto gathered up all the existing soul steel in the world, then used it to make a bunch of useless bodies for himself, and he didn't even think it was a waste!"

Lin Wei indignantly condemned Otto's criminal act of squandering resources, and vented his anger at being a "poor bastard".

"Anti-Entropy should have some in stock... Shit!"

Lin Wei's mood couldn't help but become worse when he thought of this, because he couldn't get in touch with Anti-Entropy.

The image of Anti-Entropy in Lin Wei's mind had never been as brilliant as it was at this moment, saving people from danger...

You have to know that Lin Wei used to dislike everything about Anti-Entropy, always thinking that it was just a makeshift team.

Lin Wei decided to turn over a new leaf after passing this level and never despise Anti-Entropy again, because when it comes to the critical moment, having "teammates" is better than having none!

(ノへ￣,)

"In the end, I still have to find a solution from the World Serpent..."

Lin Wei thought of New Atla. What was displayed there seemed to indicate that the World Serpent possessed an ability that even Destiny did not have - to produce soul steel on its own.

"if it is like this……"

Compared to Soul Steel's status as a "research sample" at Anti-Entropy, or its status as an "Otto heirloom" at Destiny, in the eyes of the World Snakes, which possessed the ability to produce it themselves, Soul Steel should be a relatively precious industrial product...

The reason for this is that it is an industrial product that can be mass-produced after all; it is only because of cost issues that it appears relatively precious.

But being producible and being unproducible are essentially different!

"That is to say..."

Lin Wei continued to deduce that the World Snake's use of soul steel might be more practical and versatile.

"In that case..."

Lin Wei felt that this conjecture was worth verifying, so he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yaezakura seriously.

"Sakura, I want you to do me a favor."

"Well, you said."

Yaezakura responded softly.

"I want you to go back to Coral Island for me and look for the ruins of the destroyed underground base. See if there's any Scale-Claw Soul Steel there."

Lin Wei thought of this possibility - since it is an industrial product, it is possible that some key facilities in the underground base are made of soul steel.

"Bring the God's Key with you, the search should be easier."

Lin Wei estimated that if it really existed, it shouldn't be difficult to find.

After all, Soul Steel is a nanometal with computer-generated properties. If it is searched with the Key of Erosion, it should be found nowhere.

Lin Wei spoke his thoughts seriously, but received no response. When he looked up, he saw Yaezakura looking at him with anger in her eyes, saying nothing.

"...Uh, why are you looking at me like that?"

"What do you say?"

Yaezakura's anger did not diminish.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Wei, I'm just a stigma. I can't help you with traveling alone!"

Last time, she had left Lin Wei alone to face Otto. She had agreed to this matter very reluctantly, and she felt a vague fear afterwards;

Now, he actually wants her to go to a farther place, even across the ocean?

Lin Wei, don't push your luck!

Yaezakura's eyes became more and more angry.

"Uh... sorry, sorry... I was inconsiderate."

Lin Wei was only slightly stunned for a moment, then he understood why Yaezakura was angry, and quickly comforted her.

"How about this, let's go together, hurry up and come back quickly..."

I'll have to look through Weiliwei's design library later to see if there are any suitable means of transportation.

Lin Wei thought silently.

But Yaezakura still looked at him kindly without saying a word.

Lin Wei felt a little helpless, but a warm feeling rose in his heart.

Because he understood that the reason why Yaesakura was so angry was because she was worried about his safety.

Therefore, Lin Wei thought about it and added softly,

"Sakura, I'm sorry. I'll never let you go alone again."

"Well, remember."

Yaezakura instantly put away her angry expression, and her face became calm, like a shrine maiden listening to the prayers of believers. As if everything that just happened didn't exist, she looked at Lin Wei with a puzzled look and asked curiously,

"What's wrong, Lin Weijun? Is there something wrong with me?"

"Uh……"

Lin Wei couldn't help but be speechless.
