Honkai Impact 3rd: Chiyou's Survival Guide

"Mei Mei! I'm back!" Just when Raiden Mei was almost unable to control herself, Kiana's familiar voice came from a distance.

"I'm glad you're back..." Mei Raiden breathed a sigh of relief. Kiana ran to her companions, feeling incredibly happy. As long as she returned to Saint Freya, she'd be able to see her beloved mother. Suddenly, a blonde girl approached, attracting the attention of all the students present.

"Are all the students here?" Yulandel asked, looking at the Valkyrie beside her.

"Yes, Lord Yulandel, everyone is here."

The Valkyrie bowed slightly and reported. Hearing the stationed Valkyrie addressing the other party, the students immediately exploded.

"She is the strongest Valkyrie in the legend? She looks about the same age as us!" Looking at the heroic Yulandel, Kiana was stunned.

Chapter 159 New Mission

"Kiana!" As soon as the students returned to the Hyperion, Ji Zi approached Kiana with a dark face.

"Teacher Jizi, what's wrong?" Kiana had no idea why Jizi was looking for her, and looked at Jizi in confusion.

"Who told you to break into Changkong City without permission? I specifically emphasized before we set off that you are only allowed to move around in the outskirts of Changkong City!" With an annoyed look on her face, Ji Zi knocked on Kiana's head.

"Wuwaaaa... I just want to fight more Honkai beasts. Besides, I've been to Changkong City before, so there's no danger!" Although criticized by Ji Zi, Kiana still insisted.

"No danger? The fugitives of Destiny and the executors of Anti-Entropy are hiding inside Changkong City. If Yulandel hadn't arrived in time and chased them away, would you still be standing here talking to me?" Seeing that Kiana put herself in danger because of her recklessness and was unaware of it, Ji Zi felt a little tired.

"Hey, Jizi, I killed quite a few Honkai beasts in Changkong City this time. Can you give me a high score?" Seeing Jizi's silence, Kiana leaned over and asked expectantly. After all, she fought her way out of Changkong City... Kiana thought proudly. Meanwhile, Jizi was about to explode with rage, her fists clenched tightly.

"If this happened on the battlefield, your reckless actions would have killed the entire team!" Kiana's head was struck again, and as she clutched her head in pain, Himeko spoke fiercely. Kiana must be made aware of the dangers of acting on her own, or else this self-willed individual won't change. Himeko made a silent decision, looked at Kiana, and spoke sternly.

"As a qualified warrior, the first thing you must do is obey orders. Even an S-rank Valkyrie is no exception... Kiana, you're just going to fail!" "Huh...?" Kiana stared at Himeko in disbelief, her eyes widening, almost petrified. Himeko turned away, focusing on directing the Hyperion back to St. Freya's Academy, ignoring Kiana. After all, it was time to teach Kiana a lesson. Turning back, Himeko sighed helplessly.

The sudden appearance of Yulandel disrupted Cecilia and Siegfried's plans, forcing Cecilia to wait and see what would happen, not daring to immediately confront Kiana. When the students returned to St. Freya's Academy, Jizi, under the pretext of celebrating their first successful field training, gathered Kiana, Fu Hua, and several other students, along with Theresa and Fu You, and threw a party in her dorm.

"Fu Hua, take a look at the Shenzhou dim sum I specially made. Could you please review it?" Looking at the delicious food Mei Lei Dian presented, Fu You wanted to tell Mei Lei Dian that he, too, was from Shenzhou and could easily have reviewed it in Fu Hua's place, if it weren't for his reserved demeanor. "Thank you, Mei Lei, I..." Fu Hua smiled and reached out towards the plate. Suddenly, something strange happened. A white figure flashed by, and the food on the plate vanished.

"Hmph, the food made by Mei will never be eaten by the bad squad leader!" With her cheeks puffed up, Kiana looked at Fu Hua proudly.

"Kiana, you..." Pointing at Kiana, Fu Hua was stunned.

"Lululu..." Hiding behind Raiden Mei, Kiana stuck out her tongue at Fu Hua.

"Okay, enough is enough, Kiana. If you keep making trouble, I'll punish you by making you eat only steamed buns and spring rolls for a month."

Finally, Fu You, who couldn't stand it anymore, ended the farce. If he let them continue to make trouble like this, he didn't know when he would be able to eat delicious food again.

"Wow! Fuyou, you are biased. Why do you help the bad guy, squad leader!" Kiana yelled on the side, but when she saw Fuyou's dangerous eyes, her tone softened again.

"...I won't argue with you."

Kiana lowered her head and whispered, feeling guilty. ... "Huh? The mission from headquarters..." While enjoying the meal, Fu Hua paused as she saw the words appearing in her eyes.

"Fu Hua, what is the mission?" Theresa looked at Fu Hua curiously. She didn't know what other missions the headquarters would issue during this period of time.

"It's just a simple investigation mission, going to Singapore to investigate the traces of the anti-entropy forces..." Fu Hua took out a napkin to wipe his mouth, stood up and bowed slightly.

"Let me go back and clean up. You guys can eat first. I'm sorry, Meiyi, I can't finish the delicious food you made this time. It's a pity."

"Don't worry, squad leader, I will finish the snacks made by Mei!" Kiana provoked Fu Hua with a gloating smile.

"I'm sorry, Kiana, I'm afraid you can't eat it either."

Hearing this, Fu Hua suddenly paused, turned to look at Kiana, and grinned maliciously.

"What, what happened?" In an instant, Kiana felt a chill, and the hand holding the food froze in mid-air.

"Qiana..." Fu Hua smiled kindly, slowly walked to the side of Qiana, and without waiting for the other party to stand up, she held her down and spoke softly.

"Look how I forgot about this... Headquarters has required that we bring a trainee along for simple missions..." "Squad leader... what are you doing?!" Kiana's eyes widened suddenly, and she instinctively felt that something was wrong.

"I just thought you'd be a good candidate, so stop eating, go back to your room, pack up, and come with me!" Fu Hua whispered softly into Kiana's ear. The gentle smile on Fu Hua's face, in Kiana's eyes, was no different from a grinning demon.

"Why?" Kiana tried to make a final struggle, but her arms were locked by Fu Hua who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.

"Think about your pitiful credits, Kiana. If you complete your internship, it can make up for your poor academic performance and failure in practical training..." Fu Hua said seductively while dragging Kiana.

"No, let me go! I want to stay with Mei!" Kiana howled, but she couldn't break free from Fu Hua's iron-like grip. She watched in despair as she was dragged away from the dining table and to the door. Quick-witted, Kiana grabbed the door handle.

"Crack--" The door frame shattered into pieces, but Fu Hua turned a deaf ear and dragged Kiana, who was wailing in despair, out of the door along with the door that was broken into two pieces.

"Strange, when did Destiny have this rule? Is it a new addition?" Scratching her head, Theresa was a little puzzled, but then she thought that it was definitely not a bad thing for Fu Hua to take Kiana to carry out the mission, so she continued to eat with peace of mind.

"Principal, Saint Freya should have the funds to repair the dormitories, right?" With a twitching mouth, Jizi looked at the shattered door of her dormitory and looked at Theresa, who shook her head cruelly.

"Major Jizi, your budget for last month was already overused. How about installing a door curtain?" Fu You, watching with rapt interest, reluctantly put down the camera he'd pulled out from somewhere. It looked like Cecilia, Siegfried, and Kiana's meeting would have to be postponed again. But since Fu Hua was going on a mission, she might as well ask for details. Otherwise, even if Otto sold that guy out, she wouldn't know... Fu You thought. ... "What? Investigating the Anti-Entropy Executor, Thunder Ryuma? You're kidding! He's definitely not in Singapore!" Arriving at Fu Hua's dorm and hearing her description of the specific mission, Fu You was completely stunned.

Chapter 160 Before departure

In the room, Fu Hua had already started preparing for the trip to Singapore, while Fu You was chattering beside her.

"Otto definitely has bad intentions. Think about Cecilia and Siegfried..." "Fuyou, this is the tenth time you've used Cecilia and Siegfried as examples."

Fu Hua helplessly put down the work in her hands and sighed.

"Who asked you to take on this inexplicable investigation task? With your current strength, can you handle it?" Looking at Fu Hua, Fu You couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry. Although I've lost most of my former strength, I still have enough strength now. At least, it's enough to protect myself."

Fu Hua smiled and said that she was an A-level Valkyrie, but her strength was far more than that. She was still full of confidence in this mission.

"Even though Anti-Entropy's Executor is powerful, I am confident that I can defeat Raiden Ryoma's Hokushin Ittoryu."

"...Let me be frank. The so-called extremely dangerous Thunder Dragon Horse in Changkong City was my impersonation. But the real Thunder Dragon Horse will not appear in Singapore either."

Sighing, Fu You chose to tell the truth.

"So, that golden-haired kid Otto definitely has no good intentions."

"...You again?" Fu Hua blurted out, looking at Fu You in surprise.

"Let's not worry about these minor details for now! Otto definitely didn't send you to Singapore to investigate the so-called Thunder Dragon Horse. Therefore, this mission is definitely full of unknown risks."

Although he didn't know why Otto concealed the true situation of the mission, Fu You had already sensed something was wrong.

"Besides, hasn't Singapore sided with either Destiny or Anti-Entropy and remained neutral? How dare they let Anti-Entropy in?" The Anti-Entropy forces entered Singapore, which was also a suspicious point in Fu You's eyes.

"Fu You, not every country has the strength to maintain its independence like Shenzhou."

Seeing Fu You's confusion and understanding that he was too lazy to study the complicated relationships between various forces, Fu Hua explained patiently.

"Unlike Shenzhou, the defenses of other countries in the world are useless to Tianman and Anti-Entropy. In fact, the forces of Tianman and Anti-Entropy will not start a large-scale war in neutral countries, and their infiltration will not disappear at all."

"Also, Otto gave me the prototype fourth-generation God-killing armor, [Shadow Knight Moon Wheel], some time ago. Now I can fight even against the Herrscher."

Fu Hua did not hide anything from Fu You regarding the latest type of armor that Otto gave her.

"In this case, there is some security. It seems that Otto is not hopeless."

Fu You nodded slightly. Although Otto cunningly did not tell him the background and reason of the mission, he at least gave him the equipment.

"However, if you want to go, you'd better be cautious, especially if you bring Kiana with you. The mission will probably be even more difficult, right? I don't know why Tianming would force a student to go with him on this mission."

Fu You expressed his great incomprehension about this. Thinking about Kiana's various behaviors, he shook his head worriedly.

"I lied to Kiana. There's no such thing as Tianming having to bring a trainee along for the internship."

Hearing this, under Fu You's incredulous gaze, Fu Hua burst out laughing, looking no different from a girl whose trick had succeeded.

"Who told her to steal my food and act so confidently... I certainly don't want her to have a good rest."

Fu Hua spoke with a gloating tone, feeling very pleased with herself for having succeeded in her plan, but this made Fu You feel a little strange.

"You..." Fu You froze where he was, opening his mouth in disbelief. He had never seen the Red Kite Immortal show such an expression, nor had he ever thought that there would be a day when the other party would cheat others to satisfy his own little desires. He had never thought that Fu Hua would look so youthful like those girls - was that old guy the only one left? Is this the true side of "Fu Hua" after abandoning the identity of an immortal and forgetting the memories of the past? Fu You lowered his head and pondered. Was this guy pretending to be so serious before? "What's wrong? That Kiana ate up all my food. Doesn't she need to learn a lesson?" Seeing Fu You distracted, Fu Hua asked doubtfully.

"...You're right, but Kiana joining your team will only hinder us."

After a while, Fu You squeezed out a few words.

"It's okay, I will take care of everything. As for Kiana, just don't make trouble intentionally."

Hearing this, Fu Hua shook her head, full of confidence.

"Go and get busy with your task, Fu Hua."

Slowly rising, Fu You said, "Today's cognition has been completely overturned. It's time to leave." "I'm really going crazy. That Chi Yuan retaliated against Kiana because her food was stolen... It's so weird no matter how you look at it! If she regains her memory, will she come after me... No, it's obvious that I'm the one who's going to cause trouble for her." With this thought, Fu You's confidence instantly bolstered. Fu Hua, watching Fu You's expression change from confusion to guilt, and then to a hint of arrogance, felt a little bewildered, but she still watched him leave.

After leaving Fu Hua, Fu You contacted Aurora.

"Aurora, take Galina to Singapore and lie low, awaiting any battles that may arise. You should know Fu Hua and Kiana, so keep an eye on them."

After thinking for a moment, Fu You added.

"If they're at a disadvantage, call me over. If they're in a stalemate, you guys join the fight. If they have the upper hand, you don't have to do anything."

"But if we join the battle and make a big fuss, won't our whereabouts be exposed afterwards?" Aurora had some concerns about this.

"It doesn't matter. If things really reach a point of no return, Cocolia, the executor of anti-entropy, will come forward to bear all the costs."

A cold glint flashed in Fu You's eyes at this. He had his own plans. Long before the Third Collapse, Fu You had used Yu Duchen to plant a backup plan in Cocolia's mind, making it easy to manipulate or kill her. Fu You had allowed her to remain so active until now because the damage she had inflicted on Tianming far outweighed the trouble she had caused him. However, Cocolia had been acting a bit too restless recently... He wondered if she had received the Ganesha he had sent her.

"But, senior..." Aurora on the other end of the line stammered, as if there was something she couldn't say.

"Hmm? Aurora, is there anything difficult?" Hearing the other party's hesitation, Fu You asked with concern.

"Senior, where is Singapore? Is it too late to check it online now?" Aurora asked anxiously on the other end of the line.

"...Good question. Go check it out first."

Otherwise, I should go there myself, Fu You thought after a moment of silence.

Chapter 161 Desire for gems

Somewhere in the snowy Northern Europe, a white-haired old man was running at a speed that was totally incompatible with his age.

"Huh...didn't that Cocolia guy send reinforcements? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Feeling the burning sensation in his lungs, Dr. Maki knew he couldn't hold out much longer. Otto's Valkyries were closing in on him. In a matter of minutes, he and the contents of the box would be captured. The thought deepened the old man's anxiety. His strength was gradually failing, but Dr. Maki clutched the box tightly, his eyes filled with determination, showing no sign of giving up.

"Bang!" Behind him, a beam of energy shot straight into the snow in front of Dr. Maki. The next moment, the huge impact knocked Dr. Maki to the ground. Just as he was groping to get up, the cold muzzle of the gun was already against Dr. Maki's forehead.

"Dr. Machi, don't run away. Destiny spent several years and countless manpower and resources to retrieve the Gem of Desire from Anti-Entropy. There's no way we'll let you leave with it."

The leading Valkyrie spoke slowly and threatened.

"If you surrender now and return to Destiny, as the chief scientist of the Third Research Institute, Lord Otto will not make things difficult for you. Otherwise..." "Heh, young man, ever since I escaped Destiny, I have never thought that I could survive."

With disdain and hatred flashing in his eyes, Dr. Maki said firmly.
