Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

"Oh, it's all the same. But the lower your health, the higher your luck. Why don't you give it a try? This function is certainly useful for burst damage, but it's even better for sudden enlightenment in ordinary times!"

An Yu was excited just thinking about it. The lower the health, the higher the chance of enlightenment. Then, by accumulating combat experience and skill levels in normal times, he could unleash a fatal blow when the boss appeared, without needing to use his ultimate skill when he was low on health.

Kevin: ...

"No, although the lower your health, the higher your luck, luck is finite. Once it's used up, you can't use it anymore."

Cough cough, the enthusiasm I finally mustered has been dampened again. There's no need to remember such trivial things so clearly!

Oh, An Yu understands.

No wonder you couldn't beat Kiana in a future fight. I knew it! With your combat experience growing so fast, how could you possibly lose to Kiana in a baseball bat fight in the future?

I've lived this long and all my luck has run out.

That's fine then, it makes perfect sense.

"Then I won't envy your growth rate. You're an early-game hero, and I'm a late-game hero."

"This world needs a new savior: you, me, and the Kosmo I met before."

As for the others, I don't feel that anyone has particularly great talent. Perhaps after the Fusion Warriors are promoted, many people's talents will be discovered.

"I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to go find my favorite Honkai Beast. Although being a human is not bad, I don't plan to be second best forever."

An Yu was quiet for a while, unsure whether she should tell Kevin that he wasn't even second place anymore.

The unknown Fusion Warrior No. 2, and No. 3 Mebius, you, an ordinary person, can't possibly defeat them.

It's hard to say for sure; in any case, An Yu didn't feel that the Fusion Warrior surgery brought her much of a boost.

Feeling much better?

Einstein sat leisurely to the side, casually noticing Kevin's rapid growth, which was indeed a bit outrageous.

In less than three months, it broke the record it had before An Yu was released. Yes, in less than three months.

The history is somewhat different from the beginning, since Alicia no longer breaks records, but An Yu, who does not hold back, has been added.

Einstein pondered An Yu's combat capabilities at different stages. At three months... An Yu was still quite weak, perhaps even beyond what humans could comprehend.

How wonderful, humanity is a constellation of stars, Honkai? I'll let you summon the Honkai!

"I've been in a good mood the whole time, I'm favored by fate, so why would I be in a bad mood?"

However, Dr. Einstein was quite relaxed today. He used to be so busy, but since Sister Wei became a trader, he hasn't been as busy.

"Then it's not bad, right? You're the one with the bigger fist, so whatever you say is right."

"Mebius and Alicia had a fight."

An Yu was taken aback. Who? Alicia and Mebius?

"Mebius has to be hung up and whipped. Oh, she's become a Fusion Warrior, and a Judgment-level Honkai Beast at that."

He didn't know what to say, since he hadn't paid attention to that matter today and didn't know how strong Mebius was now.

I'm still a little angry. Does becoming a Fusion Warrior now benefit Mebius even slightly?

"Why don't you call me Sister Mei anymore? Don't tell me it's because you're afraid of getting confused with Mei."

However, Einstein made time for this today not because of this trivial matter, but mainly because she was indeed not that busy.

Vilvi is a very power-hungry person. She is used to being in control of everything and hates it when strangers interfere, or even friends. Well, she doesn't find it annoying, but she will still check things over.

Although Einstein was the minister, it didn't matter.

Einstein, who was enjoying a rare moment of leisure, secretly wished that Vervie would take over all his work.

"Hmph, what's so special about Sister Mei? She doesn't even care herself, so why should I keep it in mind?"

"Oh." Einstein nodded. Come to think of it, according to the resume recorded in the current system, it seems that An Yu only has himself left as a nominal blood relative.

"Alicia didn't stop."

An Yu's lips twitched. This was impossible. Alicia's control over her abilities was exceptional.

Besides, Doctor, you're a bit mischievous, aren't you? Do you really want me to show emotional instability?

"Mébius's ability is resurrection."

"How was this ability detected?!"

Einstein: ...

An Yu: ...

"Enough! Isn't it perfectly normal for me to show concern for Dr. Möbius?"

He was so fed up with all this red tape!

"I just made that up. How could anyone have the ability to resurrect?"

"Dr. Mebius's ability is a viscous black lightning that can absorb the physical energy of others, as well as cause basic damage."

"Besides, anyone with a little common sense knows that even if Mebius's abilities were truly like that, Alicia wouldn't be able to defeat him."

Einstein handed the boy a can of chilled beer, suggesting he have one to cheer him up.

An Yu took it, but didn't say anything. He was bored, but he didn't have the habit of drinking. It wasn't that drinking was so bad, but mainly because it was embarrassing to get drunk too quickly.

To avoid losing face, he decided to never touch alcohol for the rest of his life.

"Alright, let's go home. After all, apart from that place, there's really nowhere else that can be considered home."

Velvet? Sure, but what about Sakura?

The same applies to Sakura. However, with An Yu's financial resources, she could easily buy a house and bring Sakura and Wilvi over. If either of them doesn't come, that would be their problem.

If no one comes, then it's just right for An Yu to rest in her own little world.

"Besides, they're all adults. Running away from home would be a bit embarrassing if word got out."

They're not children, and even though An Yu is always doing things, careful observation always reveals that something is actually wrong.

As long as it's not in the engineering department, she doesn't want to be woken up by An Yu in the middle of the night to hear the other person's 'brilliant idea'!

"And I'll teach you how to just slam the door shut when you get home, then grab a stack of documents and throw them on the table."

"The success rate of fusion warriors is currently less than 1%, so what makes you think you can do it? I'm asking you a question! Mebius!"

"If you keep shouting like that, Dr. Mebius will definitely be the one who feels embarrassed."

Chapter 251: Two Four Eight Because of His Kindness

"I'm asking you a question, Möbius!"

An Yu slammed a stack of documents on the table and stared coldly at Dr. Möbius, who looked a bit younger.

Alicia sat to the side, originally intending to feign anger and question An Yu, but suddenly lost her courage and obediently huddled inside the sofa.

"During the first Honkai outbreak, I asked you in the hospital, 'How dare you go?'"

"Tell me you're the destined hero, and nothing will happen to you."

"Now, I'll answer you the same way: I was born with knowledge, I bear the weight of destiny, I am the anchor point of fate, how could there be a problem?"

Mebius is really not a coward; she stopped being a coward when she saw An Yu return.

Although An Yu didn't have dinner, it didn't matter; she and Alicia had just started making their instant noodles.

"How can this be the same? I wouldn't have gotten into trouble if I had locked my health back then!"

"What's the difference! I was born with innate knowledge, and if I say I have no problem, then I have no problem! Why wouldn't I do something with a 100% success rate?"

Anyway, the surgery was successful. You can ask me if I knew I would succeed. As a researcher, Mebius is really shameless.

[Don't worry, An Yu, you were forced into it, while Dr. Möbius did it voluntarily.]

An Yu thought about it and realized that it made sense, which immediately gave her confidence again.

"I had no choice at the time, but what about you? And you didn't even dare to tell me about it!"

"What are you thinking, Möbius!"

Alicia blinked to the side. She thought she had just heard Dr. Einstein's voice. Was it a hallucination?

"I didn't want you to worry, but I didn't expect the surgery to take so long."

Sure enough, An Yu was selectively being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), Möbius muttered to himself, while also being somewhat surprised that An Yu had suddenly changed his personality, it seemed that he had really angered him before.

The average time for a Fusion Warrior to fail is two hours, while successful cases other than yours took twenty-one hours.

"Do you think I'm easy to fool, Mebius? Didn't you know that my surgery took several days? And another successful case took twenty-one hours."

"Where do you get the confidence to shorten the time to less than twelve hours?"

You're gambling!

Alicia was poking at the instant noodles on the side. The water had just boiled, so they were ready to eat now. Although the flavor hadn't fully infused into them, they were very chewy.

And she also saw that An Yu was wearing headphones...

That's pathetic. I guess they've never really argued before, and now no one's helping them. Even though they're in the right, they haven't been able to argue back.

So, how will Sister Mei respond next?

"I'm sorry, I thought I could do it, and I made you worry for so long."

Alicia nodded expressionlessly. It was reasonable; admitting her mistake at the right time was indeed effective.

【…】

"Let's eat first. I promise this won't happen again."

“Every time I saw you go to the hospital after a battle, I wondered if I could help you in any way, but it turns out that even as a fusion warrior, I’m not that strong.”

"I'm sorry I couldn't help at all and made you worry for so long."

Mebius apologized sincerely, probably because he had prepared himself mentally, or perhaps because he felt that he could get a perfect ending just by saying this, and his expression was very sincere.

It's hard to imagine that Mebius would say something like that, given how stubborn she is; even if she's in the wrong, she'll twist it into something else entirely.

An Yu fell silent, and even Dr. Einstein, who had previously given a report saying that she could be completely trusted, fell silent.

After a long while, Mebius noticed that An Yu hadn't spoken, and even his tone softened a bit.

"Let's eat first, otherwise I'll be the one worrying if you go hungry."

An Yu's lips twitched. She looked at Alicia, who had been expressionless, and sat down with a somewhat subtle expression.

"Sister Mei, is your ability to swap consciousness?"

"Sigh, you should switch back to Alicia's consciousness. It feels weird."

[You're so easy to fool. I knew I shouldn't have tried to persuade you to go home. Having another free stay-at-home brother wouldn't be a loss.]

After Einstein finished speaking, he hung up the voice call. I was originally just looking for some amusement, but I suddenly realized that Möbius deserved to be envied by others.

At least in terms of luck, we've been quite lucky these past few years.

“No, not at all,” Alicia interjected, after all, even she might not have been able to say what Sister Mei just said so easily.

And why is it that whenever I think about admitting my mistake, I immediately think of her?

Mebius took out another cup of instant noodles and pushed it in front of An Yu.

"It's too late to cook now, let's just make do with this meal for now."

"My abilities and consciousness are unrelated; I prefer to call it, molting."

A near-perfect ability, with maxed-out survivability, is a huge win for Mebius.

"I was wondering why Sister Mei seemed more like she was when we first met."

Of course, this is just an appearance; expecting Mebius to back down during that period is like hoping for the Big Bang.

It is only now, after gradually maturing, that Mebius can say such things without any psychological burden.

An Yu opened the instant noodles. Although she still didn't like this kind of food, she really wasn't in the mood to cook today.

Hmm.

"Sister Mei, is your snake molting an active or passive skill?"

Mebius pursed his lips. This question was indeed not easy to answer.

"Take the initiative, otherwise do you think I would willingly let myself be crippled?"
