Miss Riddler just wants to level up in peace.

After half a day of debugging, the Honkai Energy Suppression Device was successfully installed thanks to the efforts of the two PhDs.

No one could have imagined that a huge mechanical device was hidden underground.

In just two days, all the tedious work was completed, thanks to a capable maid.

In her spare time, Ziyao came to the stone bridge to cool off.

The stream flows gently, with the occasional glimpse of a fish floating on the water.

Her fair, jade-like feet slowly extended down, first her toes lightly touching the ground, the coolness spreading out with the ripples, disturbing the girl's reflection.

Name: Ziyao

Innate talents: Riddler lv2, Puppet Master lv4.

Buffs: Weakness Lv3 (increases mental strength by 30%), Mental Strength Lv3, Charm Lv0.

Crystal: *3211

Looking through the river, Ziyao brought up her personal panel.

I have just enough crystals for one 10-pull. There's no rate-up today, so it might be a bad gacha pool.

Looking at the lottery interface, Ziyao hesitated; she always had bad luck.

Okay, I'll try a single pull first to see if it works.

Take a gamble and you might win big!

Her jade-like feet lightly touched the reflection of her panties, and the lottery button was right there.

Then, with shimmering light, the lake surface began to play a video of the Houmu box falling.

[Ding! Congratulations on drawing Bronya Secondary Silverwing*1]

Introduction: 'People live for the sake of big ducks'

Number of uses: 2

Panel: All properties are fully retained.

Ziyao almost fell off the stone bridge when she got a golden item right after drawing it.

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining Twin Crimson Cherry Blossoms....]

[Ding! Congratulations...]

My little foot accidentally stepped on a 10-pull, splashing water everywhere. 2800 crystals were then wasted, replaced by a bunch of materials.

Ah, my crystal??

Ziyao wanted to cry but had no tears.

When she returned to the hotel in the evening, she ran into Fu Hua.

At first, Fu Hua didn't notice her and was busy practicing her sword.

The sharp, whistling sound of air being torn apart was incessant. To onlookers, it seemed very impressive, but Ziyao noticed something was amiss.

Feeling depressed and doubting myself...

Having used the Cloud Ink Heart doll, she naturally gained a lot of relevant knowledge and immediately noticed that Fu Hua's condition was not right.

Unfortunately, her body is too weak; let's leave her out of martial arts training.

During halftime, Fu Hua finally spotted the girl sitting on the stone bridge watching from the sidelines.

"It's been a long time, Hua, your skills are still as good as ever."

"You flatter me, your skills are not bad either."

Receiving affirmation from a fellow martial artist, Fu Hua's brows relaxed slightly.

"I have many questions, may I ask you a few?"

She held her sword behind her back and made a "please" gesture.

The girl before him not only knew that she was a pioneer of the previous civilization, but also knew Möbius.

Fu Hua vaguely felt that perhaps she could unravel the confusion in her heart.

"Your worries are probably more important than this."

“How come you see?”

Fu Hua's aura intensified as the girl saw through her thoughts, and she listened attentively to Zi Yao's words.

"When the mind is not at peace, nothing can be accomplished; the most important thing in martial arts is one's state of mind."

"Dust-free, ethereal, still water..."

Ziyao said slowly.

Is there something wrong with my movements?

Fu Hua nodded; these were all extremely important aspects of martial arts training.

This time, she deliberately avoided the question and only asked about the actions, wanting to test Ziyao.

After practicing countless times, the body will develop an instinctive memory.

Even though she was in a bad mood, Fu Hua believed that she hadn't made any mistakes in terms of presentation.

"It has form but no spirit."

Ziyao easily gave the correct answer.

Of course, what she wanted to do was not just offer advice.

Fu Hua's attitude toward Schicksal is wavering because of Kiana's situation, and now is a good time to win her over.

Volume 1: Chapter 119 The Eve (Part 2)

During the search for Fu Hua, Rita, acting as a listener, carried shopping bags in both hands as she listened to Durandal speak.

"Um, Rita...did we leave a bad impression on her during our last operation?"

"I'm worried," Yulandel said, but she perked up immediately when she mentioned Ziyao.

She said she would rest today, but now she says she wants to exercise.

"Please rest assured, Miss Ziyao is kind-hearted. You just need to be yourself," the maid said with a soft laugh in the setting sun.

"I want to introduce her to Fu Hua; she'll be very surprised."

As she spoke, Durandal brought up the events of that morning.

The girl seemed to be the observer who controlled everything, even the Herrscher could be subdued by her.

Unfortunately, they were eventually discovered, and the Herrscher kicked them out.

Without countless trials and tribulations, one could never possess such composure and spirit.

"Lady Durandal, aren't you overthinking this?"

Rita had personally fought Ziyao, and although the opponent seemed to be in complete control from beginning to end, she never revealed her trump card.

Based on her extensive experience, Rita believes that Ziyao's real advantage is not in direct combat.

The girl was too mysterious to guess what was going on.

But in terms of martial arts alone, almost no one can compare to Fu Hua.

"Beep beep~~"

The communicator emitted a crisp sound, and was labeled "[Your Excellency the Bishop]".

Unless it was something important, Otto rarely contacted Valkyrie during her vacation, making him a decent boss in a way.

"Should we report this to the Lawyer?"

Durandal asked curiously, "Being a Herrscher is no small matter."

Thanks to the Black Abyss White Flower, they were able to leave the Dominion Theater safely, but it won't be so easy next time.

Rita shook her head, choosing to keep her promise to Ziyao: "My orders are only to assist Lady Theresa, not to monitor her."

Upon answering the phone, Otto's holographic image appeared in front of the two.

Behind him was a laboratory, with pale blue vitamin solutions filling all the glass chambers.

Upon closer inspection, one can discover a white-haired girl sleeping in the very center of the cultivation chamber.

It was curled up in the container like a baby, with a few bubbles floating up from time to time, and the Honkai energy indicator next to it was close to exploding.

"How's the procurement going?"

"Your Excellency, everything is fine. The venue and church have been fully prepared."

The invitation has been delivered to your desk; it was handwritten by Lady Theresa herself.

Rita gave a brief, unimportant reply.

Otto didn't mind, as long as the wedding could take place on time the day after tomorrow.

"Really? Then I need to go back and take a good look."

"Take a good rest these two days, you'll have new tasks later."

The entire Undying Blade squad will be deployed the day after tomorrow to carry out a very important operation, but Otto hasn't said anything yet; he'll only reveal the specific details on that day.

After a few perfunctory pleasantries, the other party hung up the phone.

Otto was the only one left in the quiet laboratory.

Honkai energy was emanating everywhere, at a concentration exceeding what a normal person could withstand. Staying there for even a few minutes would result in death from its corrosive effects, but this did not have much of an impact on his Soul Steel body.

"Hmm, my lovely granddaughter is getting married, so as an elder, I naturally have to prepare a generous gift."

The so-called grand gift was, of course, Kiana in the life support pod.

In accordance with Ziyao's request, she will also 'attend' the wedding on time the day after tomorrow.

I thought Theresa would come and take him away, but she held her temper.

No need to thank me, there must have been an idea from his 'ally' involved.

He knew, of course, that the so-called wedding was nothing more than a setup.
