Honkai Impact 3rd, a simulator of lifelong regret!

[Initially, it was only verified as a new type of energy with a lethality similar to radiation, perhaps a new energy source that could be utilized by humanity.]

[Until one night, a renowned laboratory in academia was destroyed, and all the academic assistants inside were reduced to ashes.]

People are only now realizing that the danger of this energy seems to be even more potent than so-called nuclear radiation.

[At least radiation poisoning won't kill you so quickly.]

It won't be that thorough.

Now, thanks to the emergence of a biologist named Möbius, nuclear radiation is no longer as terrifying as it once was.

[The Honkai is a special kind of energy that is almost completely unknown to the general public.]

Despite being suppressed by the medical community, many people still express concern.

[You weren't among those who were worried, but because of this, you learned about the energy called Honkai, even though it seems like a minor detail now.]

48. The moth that chases the flame extends an invitation to you.

[Vilvie has no interest in so-called new energy sources, but she is very concerned about entirely new substances that could potentially endanger her life.]

It simply takes a little more time to create a backup plan, a backup plan, and ...

[Originally, I just wanted to thoroughly research it and then mass-produce antidotes as I used to, while also raising some operating funds for the Spiral Workshop by obtaining patents.]

However, after conducting research, Velvey discovered that what appeared to be the external dangers of a new energy source collapsing were actually just a tiny fraction of the iceberg; the actual collapse was far more terrifying than imagined.

Behind everything, this eerie energy, whose origins can even be traced back to history, ultimately points to the moon, which has already been trodden upon.

【Strange.】

The energy does not originate from the moon; in fact, no scholar believes that what we observe now necessarily represents the truth of the universe.

[But this energy is so strange, it's practically like entropy, which only exists in theory.]

[It's so troublesome that humans simply can't handle it.]

The creation of the Fire-Chasing Moth was partly due to this reason—to prevent humanity from being wiped out in such a catastrophe, the United Nations intended to establish a powerful military entity to deal with the Honkai, and extended invitations to many scientists, hoping to win the upcoming war through technology....

This proves that so many countries unanimously agree that this energy is extremely troublesome, and even necessary to unite into an organization to study it.

[Vilvie felt she needed to investigate this further.]

Let's explore what exactly this Honkai is.

Because of the existence of unknowns, specific formulas are currently difficult to master, and there are no formulas in human history that can be applied directly. The only way to find the answer is to use the most basic, yet most time-consuming, method...

[—Exhaustive search method!]

The so-called exhaustive method refers to using massive amounts of data, continuously trying and failing, and repeatedly listing and calculating until the correct answer is obtained.

To achieve this, you either need a large enough workforce or an individual with exceptionally powerful thinking, capable of operating like a computer.

She perfectly fits the latter description, and she's not just someone who can be used as a computer; for Jiang Cheng, she's capable of anything.

After working intently for three hours, Velvi put down her pen, looked at the incomplete formula on the paper, and slowly let out a sigh of relief.

Now that we've come this far, the rest can be left to the computers. With the existing materials and funding, launching an industrial revolution in two or three days isn't difficult. The most crucial process procedures have already been planned out.

After all, I'm only human. My brain's processing speed is already at its limit of 90,000 calculations per second, which is slower than even older computers. There's no need to compete with the world's most advanced supercomputers.

Although speed and efficiency will only increase with dedicated effort, if you keep working hard, you might actually be able to make a comparison.

[It's such a waste of time to waste on this kind of thing; there are more important things to do right now than the so-called Honkai.]

[Vilvie carefully placed the documents in the box, gently clasped her hands together, and stretched them upwards, revealing her figure, which was covered only by a top. The slightly tight black fabric accentuated her curves perfectly.]

What to eat in Jiangcheng today?

Try switching to Chinese cuisine.

[At twenty-three, after a year of work, perhaps unintentionally experiencing some kind of assessment, and following a new project with so many zeros that it could blind you, the Moth of the Flame extended an invitation to you.]

[We've invited Vervie, one of the world's most outstanding geniuses ever, a talent even they would find hard to match, to serve as the Minister of Engineering.]

This was originally a very exaggerated piece of news. Unlike national alliances, this organization established by various countries has real and substantial rights.

[Serving as a minister within this organization, in a sense, grants them power comparable to that of a head of state.]

Although their status is not as high as that of a head of state who can no longer dictate as before and must undergo multiple constraints, their practical value may not be as high as that of a scholar who holds absolute power and a high position.

[If this were you a few years ago, you probably wouldn't have understood this kind of thing.]

[But after living with girls for a while, you start to find it quite normal, commonplace. If you weren't invited for a ministerial position, you'd feel confused and think that Wilvi was being insulted.]

Since it's a ministerial position, there's no need to refuse outright; having a bigger stage is certainly a good thing.

You've decided to talk to Vilvie about this.

"—How do you feel about this invitation?"

"It's up to you to decide..."

Even after a long time has passed, the girl who was being gazed upon by such a gentle gaze would still feel inexplicably shy and obediently lower her face.

Without the slightest arrogance of a genius, and without any intention of using her talent, her delicate and serene profile is as sweet and endearing as a tranquil ochre rose, captivating all who behold her gentleness.

……

"I know this is a difficult task, but you can't always dump all the work on me. Please give me some suggestions this time."

Beneath the boy's gentle eyes lay an unwavering determination; he gently slammed the somewhat heavy contract in his hand directly onto the table.

Even if it's somewhat forced, the girl should still be made to read the terms and conditions carefully.

This choice is far too important.

In some ways, it can be equated with one's fate after birth.

On crucial matters, the boy was never willing to make decisions alone, nor to use his ordinary talent to make decisions for the genius girl.

"If they really don't want to, I can ask them to postpone it for a while longer. This matter is really important, and I don't want to make the decision alone."

He tapped the table lightly, emphasizing the words on the contract.

Don't you want to help me make the decision?

The girl lowered her head even further, her voice was somewhat soft, and her delicate, fair hands unconsciously twirled together under the table.

"Every decision you make is the best choice for me."

"It's not that, it's just that my talent is far inferior to yours. Can you really bear to let someone like me, who is good at other things but whose talent doesn't lie here, bear so many things that I'm not good at or can't do?"

The boy sighed helplessly, his dark eyes filled with resignation.

49. Virvi: Please, please ask me something.

There is absolutely no choice or room for shirking responsibility.

Vilvi could only pick up the simple contract and carefully examine the terms, her silver-gray pupils capturing and analyzing all the information on it.

When the wisdom of the most outstanding geniuses is fully unleashed, all the little schemes that still stop at the limits of human capability are easily accomplished, just like OnePlus.

The seemingly gentle, almost weak, cute girl analyzed everything in less than three seconds.

A voice that sounded almost like the truth emanated from her cherry-colored lips.

"The terms and conditions impose some severe restrictions on personal freedom. There is considerable turmoil within the Firemoth organization, making it difficult to extricate oneself in time... This could lead to trouble."

"It wouldn't be good to just refuse outright. How about we sign a long-term contract?"

"This world may not be as safe as it seems."

……

……

……

—Is it not that safe?

Why do people say the world isn't that safe?

Velvi...

What exactly was discovered?

What exactly did they see that was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people?

You cannot understand what the girl means by "not feeling safe," nor can your wisdom match hers in terms of perspective and breadth.

People need to have self-awareness, knowing what they can and cannot do, and not forcing themselves to do things they shouldn't do at the right time.

[You happen to be very self-aware, knowing the vast distance between yourself and a young girl, as vast as the stars in the sky.]

No matter what, the girl will not let you get hurt.

Isn't knowing just this much enough?

Why bother thinking about things that are meaningless and unlikely to yield any results?

This is where Vilvie belongs.

This is a stage for young girls.
