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

Fu Hua gave a helpless smile:

"From an objective point of view, there is probably no difference."

"But we have no reason to stop it."

23. Su Muxi's Teen Mode.

Su Qing'an took a bite of the tender shrimp paste with the dipping sauce, swallowed it, and then put a fish ball in his wife's bowl. He remained silent for a long time, his thoughts wandering.

No matter how much you want the future to develop according to your own wishes, and proceed at the current pace that is steadily changing many things, it will eventually lead to many changes.

To expect the things one cherishes to continue to exist is itself a selfish desire.

Su Qing'an and Fu Hua certainly have the right to pursue their personal desires, but the premise is that they do not become dictators who use their personal desires to override everything and block all rights and paths to development in their own hands.

—Moral standards and the yardstick in one's heart.

This is the fundamental reason why life can proceed in such a relaxed and serene way.

Su Qing'an said softly:

"I don't object."

"But since that's the case, let's just let him name it St. Freya, at least it will be a memento."

Fu Hua finished the food in her bowl and replied:

"Yes, my thoughts are similar to yours."

"But things may not go as smoothly as we have envisioned. Even for Otto, there is no longer any need to continue training him in the original militarized manner."

"On the other hand, he was ultimately not as naive and kind as Principal Theresa, and had no reason to build it into a beautiful ivory tower."

She hesitated for a moment, then said:

"If we decide to use this name, I intend to have [Chaoxian] invest in the construction, and also bring in Anti-Entropy, along with Destiny, to form a triangular board of directors, each contributing various resources including manpower and materials."

"This includes teachers. We can let Shishi and Rongyue work part-time here. Neither Lisser nor Frederica are short of time at Anti-Entropy, and there are many relevant talents."

Su Qing'an remained silent for a while. Although he had a poor political sense, he could still sense the hidden prospects and future from those words.

Pilgrimage to Immortals, Destiny, Reversal of Entropy.

If the academy is jointly run and led by these three parties, how should the job arrangements for students who are trained here be handled after graduation?

This unpredictable situation will inevitably turn the lake, which should be crystal clear, into a murky mess. However, because it contains the world's best educational resources for anti-Honkai warriors, various factions will send their own fish fry into it, waiting for them to return and feed back.

In other words, the three factions each have their own student factions with their own faction labels.

Furthermore, the channels for developing services for qualified orphans may contain individuals with impeccable backgrounds who could potentially gravitate towards one side of the power structure.

This situation, if you just imagine it, will turn into a complete mess.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between entropy reversal and destiny is not one of irreconcilable conflict, but it is far from being one of mutual respect.

Without special control and intervention, such schools will only produce more tragedies.

For example, several friends who were good friends at St. Freya Academy were assigned to opposing trenches after graduation due to their respective factional affiliations, and had to face the cruel reality of fighting each other.

Although this example is somewhat extreme, it best illustrates the negative consequences of this operation.

The Crimson Kite Immortal, who proposed this plan, could not possibly be unaware of the series of possibilities that would follow. The fact that she would suggest such a reckless approach indicates that she had a way to prevent this outcome.

Su Qing'an asked:

"You want to use this to end the nascent hostile relationship between Destiny and Anti-Entropy?"

"Except for the rather special [Chaoxian], if Destiny and Anti-Entropy can establish an alliance, then the warriors produced by this academy can be freely selected and assigned like choosing a company channel, only they will take on different positions in the three forces according to their respective strengths and abilities."

Fu Hua responded:

"On the contrary, the birth of this academy could be an opportunity for large-scale anti-Honkai organizations around the world to form a united front."

"As long as we take the opportunity to propose the establishment of a preliminary alliance during this process, you and I, who have separated from [Chaoxian], can act as arbitrators to prevent boring and meaningless internal strife from happening again."

"And for you at this stage, with the help of the power of the Black Abyss White Flower, you can completely prevent the tragedy that you experienced in the past from happening again in this ivory tower."

Su Qing'an pondered for a moment and then said:

"Because my [personal record] interfered with the history of the previous era, the existence of the Holy Mark was proposed earlier. And since the initial research prototype was the artificial Holy Mark of Destiny, it did not show the risk of artificial collapse. Therefore, there should be a more mature Holy Mark technology in the current Soul Steel data."

"Assuming the academy does proceed according to this plan, the corresponding technology could be made public as a form of poverty alleviation or reward."

"Regarding the issue of risk, if the power of the Black Abyss White Flower can be used as an aid in every experiment, then both the problem of rejection and the superiority or inferiority of adaptability can be greatly improved, and the cost will be equivalent to nothing. We will not encounter the situation that happened to Himeko and me back then."

The girl paused, her hand supporting her chin. She turned her head and looked into the distance, seemingly casually asking:

"Are you planning to be present at every experiment? Won't that be too tiring?"

Just as Su Qing'an was about to answer, Manas issued a warning.

Here, a clear, precognitive world was revealed in his eyes, making him understand the answer.

Although his wife's words also contain elements of concern about the heavy burden she bears, she is more concerned about the reality that most of the subjects are young girls.

During the process of transplanting stigmata, it is obviously necessary to remain completely naked, otherwise the carving and implantation cannot be carried out.

Su Qing'an wasn't henpecked; he just felt it was necessary to clarify this unnecessary misunderstanding. He replied calmly:

"It won't be too tiring."

"Including the matter you mentioned about regularly removing Honkai energy erosion from the students in the academy, this can be solved by researching the corresponding fixed power and thereby creating solid condensates of the power."

"This part of the process can be deduced in the Hall of Souls using the Manas consciousness. By the time the academy is actually established, there will probably be some results."

"At that time, I will only need to maintain the Honkai energy within it periodically."

Fu Hua remained noncommittal, her eyes sparkling, and said with a faint smile:

"Well, I'll prepare the materials and talk to [Chaoxian]. This will be beneficial to the whole world and China."

Su Qing'an thought for a moment and said:

"Will Otto agree? Coordination with Anti-Entropy should also be needed."

Fu Hua responded:

"The matter of destiny is not a problem. For that bishop, the only thing worth caring about is the resurrection of Kallen. As long as his hidden confidants and power are not stripped away, and his exploration on this path is not hindered, there is nothing to care about regarding this academy and the alliance itself."

"After all, the birth of this academy only means that this region is unable to cultivate its own unique power, but it does not mean that destiny will completely abandon the original training institution."

"From Otto's perspective, this is just a long-term price to pay in order to better understand us and obtain the corresponding information and knowledge."

"This project may require continuous investment of funds, manpower and resources, but from a macro perspective it is not significant. It is not a solution that will truly shake the world order. It is just a starting point that can lead to the initial front line. It is still far from true integration."

Su Qing'an understood what it meant.

Otto cares about the power he holds, but that depends on whether it's an immediate crisis or a potential one. In the short term, the cost of establishing this academy is actually similar to the initial allocation of funds to allow Theresa to establish St. Freya Academy in the Far East.

On the other hand, the core goal of this Bishop of Destiny, who wields great power, is nothing more than to resurrect Kallen. He considers himself a person destined for destruction, and he is well aware of the long-term crises and threats. He will weigh the pros and cons accordingly, and there is indeed no reason for him to refuse.

The girl opened a bag of takoyaki and various other snacks, poured them into the hot pot, and continued speaking:

"As for Anti-Entropy, Lisser is a very kind and intelligent person. She can understand the significance of this move, as can Joyce on the other side."

"As for Nancy, her original intention was to eliminate the Honkai."

"Although Anti-Entropy is currently refusing to cultivate warriors like Valkyries and choosing to develop mechs by combining the technology of the previous era with the wisdom of humanity in this era, you should also be very clear about the real reason why they refuse to cultivate Valkyries."

"If we can demonstrate the effects of high-quality Stigmata and the function of Black Abyss White Flower, it won't be difficult to persuade the other party."

Su Qing'an agrees with this view.

Since we cannot prevent similar academies from being established ahead of time, and have been forced to cut off the path for St. Freya's emergence, let's make this academy a better St. Freya Academy.

The blueprint currently envisioned undoubtedly meets this condition.

Li Shishi swallowed the rice cake with egg yolk filling, finally shifting her gaze from the paused Tetris game to the couple who had been discussing serious matters not long ago, and said softly:

"So, Rongyue and I have already decided to work at other schools?"

Su Qing'an glanced at the game console in the other person's hand, which was very much in line with the style of this era, and said indifferently:

"With the investment and technical support of Destiny and Anti-Entropy, St. Freya Academy will probably soon make the virtual battlefield technology public to its faculty and students."

"With that kind of technology, you can easily recreate many games that are ten thousand times more fun than Tetris by using Soul Steel data from the previous era."

As the saying goes, to strike a snake, you must strike its vital spot.

For Li Shishi, who is extremely curious and loves to experience new things, these two sentences, which only scratch the surface and do not go any further, are already tempting enough.

She immediately changed her attitude, blinked, tugged at her wife's sleeve, and said seriously:

"Su Su, whether it's a game or not doesn't matter. I just feel it's a bit of a pity to stay here as an admissions teacher. It's really rare to have such an opportunity to teach and nurture students in an excellent academy."

Jiang Rongyue glanced at his wife, who had become even cuter after eight hundred years, and said:

"Did you teach the students there how to read and understand 'The Legend of the Immortals'?"

Upon hearing this, Li Shishi's face flushed red, and she was immediately filled with embarrassment and annoyance. She poked the other woman's slender waist, and with her greasy lips, as if she wanted to bite Jiang Rongyue's earlobe, she spat out a threat fiercely at extremely close range:

"If you bring this up again, I'll put a blindfold and a gag on you tonight!"

Jiang Rongyue considered for a moment and then replied:

"If you find this more exciting, I can accept it."

Clearly, this "threat" was not a favorable bargaining chip for her, who was submissive and had unconventional ideas, and it did not cause any ripples in terms of fate.

This behavior made Li Shishi very disheartened, but she knew her partner's character very well. At that moment, she was only thinking in her heart about creating a "threat" that would make him panic. She did not feel unhappy, but was just indulging in the shame and anger of "The Legend of the Immortals", childishly pinching his soft flesh.

Jiang Rongyue found the other person's expression—a mixture of exasperation and embarrassment—amusing and endearing.

Well, over the decades of living together in mutual support, I've probably caught some strange hobbies myself.

However, in retrospect, this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Although she has always been the submissive one in their long-term marital games and daily life, upon closer reflection, wouldn't it be fun to do the opposite occasionally?

Jiang Rongyue had never tried to bind a courtesan's fair wrist with white silk, or to restrict the freedom of her eyes and lips with props, and then to play with her freely under such circumstances.

Let's try it today.

At this moment, completely unaware that a reversal of roles was very likely to occur, Li Shishi was no longer in the mood for what she was supposed to be. She began to think about how happy she would be playing games idly in St. Freya Academy after it was fully built.

Meanwhile, Su Muxi, who wasn't actually lured in, became the fool who willingly took the bait. Her big eyes blinked, sparkling like little stars, revealing her undisguised eagerness for the game. She reluctantly put down her chopsticks, finished chewing her food, tugged at Su Qing'an's sleeve, and said:
