Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

"My dear An Yu, there are no game mechanics like dizziness and knockback that prevent movement in reality. Also, just tell me, are you going to learn it or not!"

"Please teach me, sir!"

Actually... Alicia's methods are not something humans can learn, and she currently has no teaching experience. An Yu's survival is entirely due to Alicia's good control and her own good fortune.

However, having been constantly on the verge of death, An Yu did learn something, and with the occasional ability to lock in health and mana, it seems he has truly mastered something.

However, since An Yu didn't seem to be experiencing any adverse reactions or backlash, and he didn't cry out in pain, this rather absurd action was allowed to continue.

"Aren't you going to deliver lunch to the hospital today?"

Learning is not something that can be accomplished overnight, especially with such an absurd learning method. Even though there was no progress in just a few hours, An Yu was not discouraged.

Looking at the purple lines spreading back to his shoulders, he even felt that this was proof of his progress.

"Sister Velvi has already left; she's going back to university." And if he hadn't locked his mana today, he wouldn't have suddenly ended up here with Alicia learning the Magic Crystal Arrow...

He has a job; he's been organizing the Honkai-related events in the archives for the past few days. Once he finishes organizing everything, he can hand it over to others to create data models. The data will then prove how correct he was in insisting on the dangers of the Honkai.

"By the way, is there anything you'd like to eat for lunch today? Anyway, Sister Mei will be back late, so she won't have the right to offer any suggestions."

"Hmm... Shall we eat meat? I always felt that neither you nor Sister Mei really liked meat. Why is it that rich people don't like to eat meat?"

Especially Sister Mei; Alicia had seen Sister Mei's figure before, which was exaggeratedly slender and thin.

Simply saying "exaggerated" might not be enough to describe Alicia's shock at the time. After all, when she discovered that Sister Mei was almost half a head taller than her and lighter than her... she wondered for a moment who was the homeless child.

Yes, many people may not have noticed, but even at its heaviest, Mebius was lighter than Alicia.

"Sister Mei loves to eat it, but I rarely make it."

Alicia: ?

"Stir-frying or boiling meat is too much trouble, so it's enough to do something big once every day or two. There's no need to do it every day. And Sister Mei doesn't care much about food anyway, so she never mentioned it."

"Besides, it's not good to eat meat all the time. Also, Sister Mei was very frugal back then, so I didn't develop the habit of cooking meat every day."

"After all, as you know, Sister Mei doesn't have many ways to make money, and she doesn't like to apply for patents. Although she is a great scientist dedicated to human evolution, she actually doesn't have many patents that can make money..."

"So Sister Mei was very frugal back then. Before I came, she didn't even eat three normal meals a day. She just ate instant noodles all day long."

To be honest, when An Yu first learned that Sister Mei's monthly salary was 120,000, she didn't believe it at all.

After all, Sister Mei had a very hard life. Who would have thought that she was simply trying to save money and was lazy?

Don't you think Sister Mei is very thin?

Alicia loves to eat meat. Perhaps because she didn't have anywhere to eat it before, she never gets tired of it. So she's going to change her diet.

"She was indeed very thin, with no flesh at all." An Yu recalled, nodding. Sister Mei was indeed very thin, with hardly any flesh on her body, like a skeleton.

"Besides, people who are too thin are more prone to illness. An Yu, can you bear to see Sister Mei so thin every day?"

An Yu: ...

"Well, Sister Mei just doesn't gain weight, but her nutrition is still very balanced. In fact, Sister Mei even corrected my eating habits when I first arrived."

Sister Anita Mui has a remarkable talent for medicine; she has profound insights into how to protect one's body from disease.

It seems that Sister Mei... really hates illness, even to the point of being somewhat extreme.

"Impossible! How could a girl eat a lot and not gain weight!"

"That's possible, because Sister Mei is like that!"

"No, if you cook something more elaborate these next few days, Sister Mei will definitely gain weight."

An Yu: ...

After a moment of silence, An Yu nodded and didn't continue arguing about it.

What kind of meat do you like to eat?

"beef."

"Okay, but I have a feeling you might gain weight faster than Sister Mei."

Alicia's intentions were too obvious; she just wanted to eat meat. All those excuses about Sister Mei and good health were just that—excuses.

But it's okay, An Yu won't refuse such a small thing, he's not short of money.

Even if something really happens, humph, in another week, he'll be 999999...

Short of money? Not at all.

"It's to replenish Sister Mei's nutrition!"

"...Yes, give Sister Mei some nutrition."

Chapter 70: Sixty-Eight, Can You Hug Me?

"So, is that why lunch was so lavish today?"

Blanca smiled, looking at her lunch, which clearly included a portion for her, and was in a good mood, having saved herself the cost of a meal.

Moreover, An Yu's younger brother is a very good cook; his cooking is much better than Hen's.

"But you should try to talk to the doctor, because he seems to be troubled by something these past few days, as if he's taking out his frustrations from life on his work..."

After the inspection, Blanca was already looking forward to the meal that was about to begin.

I'll just take a look at how An Yu persuades the doctor.

"Miss Mei!"

When someone is focused on their work, they will subconsciously lower the noise level around them. An Yu knew this, so he didn't make a fuss and sat quietly to the side, waiting for Sister Mei to finish her work.

"..."

"what happened?"

She originally intended to ignore An Yu and continue working, but An Yu's subconscious curious glances around made her feel a little flustered. She was really afraid that An Yu would just walk in carelessly without taking any precautions.

"It's time to eat, Sister Mei, otherwise it'll be bad for your stomach."

"Lunch is very plentiful today, although it doesn't seem to be a holiday today... oh, it's Children's Day."

Do they have Children's Day in other countries?

I think so. After all, Kiana is European, but she also celebrates Children's Day, and Bronya is Russian, but she also celebrates Children's Day.

"Have you eaten?" Stopping his work, Möbius left the experimental area, went outside, took off his gloves, and felt a cool sensation on his hands.

"Not yet. I was planning to eat at home, but Alicia had something come up and went out to work overtime. I also realized that I haven't eaten with Sister Mei for the past few days, so I decided to pack everything up and bring it with me."

"Today's main dish is soup, but the side dishes are plentiful. Since Sister Wilvi left today, I have a lot more free time. Sister Mei, come and try it. I haven't cooked so carefully in a long time."

Mebius sorted things out: first, Vilvie had left; second, after Vilvie left, An Yu suddenly had time to cook him a big meal.

Thinking about this, Mebius herself felt a little amused, because she knew that An Yu had no intention of trying to please her.

The boy was too straightforward, and his personality was naturally undisguised; he didn't like to please his friends by belittling others.

To be precise, An Yu is very annoying; the word "flattery" is derogatory.

"Seeing how you were all lovey-dovey with her the other day, I thought you were going to leave with her."

As I washed my hands and face, I looked at An Yu, who was following me around like a little shadow. I wanted to make sarcastic remarks, but what came out of my mouth didn't have much of a sarcastic tone.

"Sister Wilvi did invite me, but I declined. I felt that if I left without saying goodbye, Sister Mei would be sad."

Moreover, An Yu hates going to school. Middle school was already so terrible, let alone high school and university. She heard that Wilville is a legendary expert in mechanical and civil engineering.

Why should I be sad?

"..." An Yu was silent for a while, feeling a little sad: "Then I'm going to be sad."

"A heartless woman, what a spoilsport. I should have known better than to say that today."

Möbius: ...

"Then I'm a little sad."

He didn't even wipe his hands, just shook them casually, then pinched An Yu's cheek and wiped away the water stains.

However, when making this gesture, Mebius paused slightly as his gaze moved, even noticing the purple lines spreading back to his shoulder, and his voice trembled slightly.

"Didn't you say before that the purple markings on your body would fade away?"

Why has it grown back now?

Mebius has been in a bad mood lately, partly because of Vilvie, but that's not the main reason. The second reason is the purple markings on An Yu's body. She's very afraid that An Yu will need to take a lot of medication because of the breakdown.

Human beings are not absolutely rational, as Möbius knew all too well. Under the influence of hormones and external factors, humans are easily driven by emotions and become a completely different kind of scum.

"Because I locked my mana today, I tried some advanced tutorials. Although it hurt, the feeling of progress overcame the pain. Now I am a brand new An Yu. You can call me An Yu++!"

An Yu didn't understand Sister Mei's worries. He was quite proud when talking about the markings on his body, believing they were proof of his improved strength.

"..."

However, Sister Mei's expression visibly worsened, and she even stopped paying attention to An Yu.

Mebius is a very contradictory person. Because of her childhood experiences, she is afraid of seeing people being distorted and humiliated by drugs again. She is even more afraid that she has not yet passed the test.

An Yu's behavior was dangerous, but she didn't dare to check even a little bit.

She wasn't sure if seeing An Yu's medical report would make her greed lead her to have terrible thoughts. Yes, even just having those thoughts would make her feel disgusted.

"...Is Sister Mei worried about me?"

"If you're just too stubborn to say you're worried, you could just give me a hug. Actions speak louder than words."

"But if Sister Mei is too shy to do this kind of thing, that's okay, I can hug Sister Mei."

Möbius: ...

She may be stubborn, but she's still better than someone who only talks the talk.

Sometimes Mebius wondered if An Yu's special appearance in front of her was a test for her, but she usually dismissed these thoughts.

If one's efforts are merely predetermined by fate, then it truly feels incredibly powerless.

During her meal, Mebius's phone rang. She wondered who would message her. Was it Alicia?

No.

Blanca: "Doctor, let me tell you a secret. Next time An Yu is by your side, just open your arms slightly, and he will hug you on his own."

Blanca: "That kid seems very afraid of being disliked by you, so he's very careful about many things involving you."

Möbius: ...

I don't quite understand, since An Yu always seems happy, and I can't see why she's being so cautious.

She even felt that An Yu had become quite bold.

Blanca could only remain silent as she looked at the doctor's puzzled expression. She noticed that An Yu, being in the lab, had lowered her guard, and some purple patterns were showing, leaving her wondering what she was thinking.

“Little brother An Yu, would you be interested in looking after Gretchen for me? She needs to get vaccinated soon, and Hen… to be honest, I’m not sure if he’ll be able to cry while watching Gretchen on camera.”

To be precise, An Yu was also worried, but Alicia had something to do this afternoon, and she couldn't spare the time.

An Yu can play a role to some extent.

"In return, I'll keep a close eye on the PhD student's schedule in the lab for you. How about that? Isn't that a great deal!"

Chapter 71: Sixty-Nine Little Eight? Little Eight!

Blanca discovered that An Yu probably had a bit of a sister complex, but that was normal; she had read on social media that many people had similar issues.

Unfortunately, the heartless doctor wouldn't even hug An Yu. Humph, cold-blooded Mebius, but it's probably the right thing to do.

"Speaking of which, do they also get vaccinated abroad?"

"It's better to fight, but you have to pay for it yourself. It's all free in China."

Speaking of this, Blanca is quite envious of An Yu's nationality. Of course, as much as she envies her, she certainly doesn't want to start all over again in China.

As she spoke, Blanca tugged at An Yu's clothes, and after seeing the anti-counterfeiting marks that were typical of Chinese people, she felt a little envious.

But looking at the doctor's cold gaze and An Yu's wary eyes, Blanca felt that she might have done something stupid.

"Um, is it okay for a married woman like me to do this kind of thing?"

Don't look at me like that!

My marriage with Hen is very stable!
