Regarding the question of whether one thousand lives are enough to beat Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Remember A-310, only through fighting can we win everything."

After speaking, there was no further response.

The next moment, the sound that replaced it reached my ears.

In the hall where the girl was, the empty furniture that looked like bookshelves was folded and moved around. One after another, pale and ferocious beasts emerged from the darkness with trembling steps, locking onto the only life form there almost immediately and roaring as they charged toward it.

Meanwhile, Otto, watching this scene from the monitoring room, had no worries whatsoever.

Firstly, because for him, this was merely a test of the weapon's sharpness; a weapon that would break at this level had no reason to exist.

Secondly, the girl's clothing is made of active soul steel, which is enough to save her life in a truly life-threatening situation, not to mention that as a synthetic human, she possesses a powerful self-healing ability that surpasses human limits.

Therefore, disregarding the risk of displeasing Su Qing'an, his emotions would not waver.

However, the bishop was unaware that someone who seemed to have left was actually staying in the area he was monitoring.

now.

Su Qing'an leaned against the corner of the wall, her expression indifferent.

[Hidden] Enough to ignore electronic devices and human perception, allowing him to observe and protect the occurrence and establishment of the original trajectory in a way that does not require contact with the other party.

The boy looked at this acquaintance who was still naive and ignorant of the ways of the world with mixed feelings. The soul map of the other person was the same as in his memory, which seemed to have some indescribable meaning in the present day.

In the long and somewhat surreal life he had lived, the last time he could recall meeting this elder was a very distant memory.

St. Freya Academy.

Canghai City, Houmu Theme Park, that small town.

Su Qing'an recalled the past, silently watching the girl rely on her instincts to fight against the Honkai Beasts, eventually ending up battered and bruised, looking pitiful. He continued to witness her overcome the trials set by the bishop, and as fate would have it, she showed the gentleness of refusing to kill Amber.

In this world, there are always some people who are born extraordinary, and there are always some people who are born with both gentleness and strength in their will.

Theresa's soul map, like a dazzling flame, does indeed bear some resemblance to Kallen's soul within her own soul temple.

If this is fate, then it must be a gift from heaven to Otto.

Looking at the image of the man creating names for her, Su Qing'an knew that the matter had finally been settled, and said softly:

"May you uphold your beliefs as you have always done, Principal Theresa."

...

...

1982, China, Chaoxian City.

The sun rises high in the sky, and a gentle breeze blows.

Su Qing'an pushed the shopping cart. He glanced at the Coca-Cola with the Houmu logo, took a six-pack and put it in the cart. Under the nimble claws of the white sparrow on his head, he also pushed the seaweed-flavored potato chips into the cart. It seemed that Xiao tide was very interested in these things because the supermarket had only recently started selling them.

Although we had previously used the Soul Steel data at home to simulate the corresponding equipment for processing potato chips, it was clear that under the control of our parents, this thing did not satisfy our rampant desires.

This heartwarming scene of a father and daughter shopping at the supermarket was made somewhat bizarre by an extremely annoying person.

This handsome man wore a white shirt with a purple coat trimmed with gold, featuring a shawl design and a striking cross pattern on the collar. His tall stature and deep-set features made him stand out in the crowd.

At that moment, Otto's lips moved, and he smiled as he spoke in fluent and clear Chinese:

"Mr. Su, today is Theresa's 10th birthday. As a witness to and participant in her birth, and as a contributor of some of her genes, wouldn't you be interested in attending?"

Bai Que'er blinked and asked:

"Is there anything good to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing'an knew that her little darling would not be able to resist the temptation. Before the child could ask any more questions, she took the object off her head, put it in her pocket, and sealed it away.

How could I possibly go to Theresa's tenth birthday party?

Wouldn't all that effort from ten years ago, when I hid aside and watched for three or four hours, be wasted?

Su Qing'an understood that it was probably inevitable that he would become Theresa's elder, but he hoped that this elder was the kind who had never appeared in her childhood, so that if they met again in the future, he would at least not be called by a strange name, even if they could not find their old way of getting along.

Therefore, Otto's invitation was destined to be fruitless.

He responded:

"I will go to her 50th birthday party."

"So, this is what you came to China to say?"

Otto felt a little disappointed by the rejection, but he quickly accepted it, moved on, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Su, don't you think that your wife's Chaoxian University has a lot that Tianming can learn from and emulate? Whether it's the extremely mature modern teaching methods, the theoretical framework of Taixu Sword Qi, or the various systems of human cultivation."

"If the warriors of destiny could be trained in a similar environment, I think there would be fewer casualties in the fight against the Honkai."

Su Qing'an asked:

"So, you want to collaborate with Chaoxian University?"

Although the bishop's supposed humanistic concern was a lie, he had no objection to it.

Whether it's the Void Sword Qi or the Immortal Technique, they are things that should be widely disseminated within a certain scope. The reason why we didn't think about these things in the past was entirely because the budding and development of the Honkai had always been under our control, and the sacrifices caused were far less than those in the original timeline.

But if fate allows, he wouldn't mind these becoming the other party's resources.

Otto remained noncommittal and replied:

"almost."

The man was behaving like a university president:

“I can draft a charter that allows for regular student exchanges and resource sharing.”

Su Qing'an really wanted to ask why the other party didn't just go talk to Hua Lai directly, but considering his wife's dislike for Otto, he refrained from asking. He released the seal on the pocket, letting Bai Que'er's head pop out, and replied:

"It's all right."

22. St. Freya Academy.

Otto got the answer and smiled.

He was not surprised by the other party's lack of resistance, and he also knew that the Taixu Sword Qi and the Immortal Technique did not involve the other party's core secrets or the reason for their great power. The reason why they deliberately came to obtain these things was not for their own benefit.

As for those words that are full of humanistic concern for the Valkyries under his command, they have absolutely no connection to that.

However, this reason cannot be told directly to the person in front of me yet.

He said:

"Since you have no objections, that would be even better."

"Well, if possible, it's best to get this sorted out as soon as possible, isn't it?"

"So I will send you the plan. As for the specific details of how to cooperate, we will send someone from [Chaoxian] to handle the coordination at that time."

"Then, Mr. Su, I'll take my leave now, so as not to disturb you and your daughter any longer."

After speaking, Otto chose to leave immediately.

Su Qing'an did not try to stop him, but only glanced at his back with some confusion.

The boy couldn't quite understand why the other person had come in person to tell him this. Even though communication devices were not yet widespread in this era, for people who had mastered the technology of the previous era, sending an email was extremely simple, and there was absolutely no reason for them to come alone.

but……

He murmured:

"Instead of transferring the soul, you just used a soul steel quantum computer to reproduce the corresponding facial expressions and textures, and then remotely controlled and conversed through the device?"

"That's incredibly cautious."

However, considering the deterrent effect of that battle decades ago, it's understandable that the other side would become somewhat jittery, given their character.

In reality, although Otto was not certain that Su Qing'an possessed the ability to see through people's hearts and read other people's memories, this cautious approach still prevented others from seeing his true thoughts.

From Su Qing'an's perspective, it's true that the mind occasionally and passively learns about the other party's thoughts. Otto's behavior can't be considered wrong, and he himself isn't interested in their psychological activities.

White Sparrow popped out of its parent's pocket, and immediately stomped on the other's head with its little paws, saying angrily:

"Xiao Su is so naughty, why did she put me in her pocket?"

Su Qing'an said quietly:

"Because I think you'll be kidnapped."

Su Muxi blinked, but noticed the merchandise next to the counter and said:

"I want pork cracklings and grilled sausage!"

She waited until the other party added these items to their shopping cart before belatedly responding:

"I'm not stupid, I won't get kidnapped."

Su Qing'an clearly didn't intend to dwell on this issue; making Xiao Yuma admit she was stupid wouldn't be a good thing. She simply asked:

"We're making hot pot today. What kind of broth do you like? Spicy, clear broth, numbing spicy, or tomato?"

Bai Que'er immediately stopped dwelling on the previous question, and after thinking seriously for a while, answered:

"mandarin duck!"

Su Qing'an understood immediately, casually put two bags of hot pot base into the shopping cart, and continued to ask:

"Want some shrimp paste? The beef over there looks really fresh too. I remember the girl Zhang from the market next door was the kid you used to bully, right? I think she's selling fish now, and I heard she has a good reputation. Shall we go check it out later?"

Su Muxi answered in a serious tone:

"We'll eat shrimp paste, and we'll eat beef too. Xiao Zhang is thirty-seven years old, she's probably forgotten that I put her winter vacation homework in the well, but even if there are no discounts there, we can still go and take a look."

Su Qing'an picked up a bottle of sesame paste and said:

“I heard that her child has started primary school. Don’t bully her and then go and bully her child.”

The white sparrow shook its wings, transformed into a girl, and took a bag of dried strawberries. It pursed its lips and said:

"No way."

"Last time it was an accident, and you even forced me to finish her winter break homework afterwards."

Su Qing'an ruffled her hair and said without a trace of guilt:

"Isn't that good too?"
