Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

"Nonsense!"

Seeing that the outsiders had all left, and that her parents seemed to have some free time to lecture her, Desdovia continued to wear a blank expression.

She decided that when she looks for a boyfriend in the future, she must find someone more normal, someone who can be lively but preferably quiet.

If she were to meet someone like An Yu on a blind date in the future, she'd probably punch her to vent her anger.

"If you stop arguing when I act silly, then I probably won't change." But for now, I'll deal with my parents first.

"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters. Also, you should stay inside for the next couple of days and don't even think about going out."

He didn't get angry, and looking at his serious-looking daughter, he didn't say anything offensive.

Neither of them are unreasonable people, so naturally they won't harshly criticize the child and cause them to rebel.

"Then I'll sneak out. If you don't care about me, there are plenty of others who will."

As soon as she finished speaking, Desdobia looked at her parents, whose expressions had turned completely dark, and cold sweat began to bead on her forehead.

"Um, wait a minute, I was just kidding. I don't even have his contact information, don't actually hit me!"

…………

"Wow, he really got beaten up. Poor thing."

Although the door was closed, An Yu did not leave immediately. He and Alicia pressed themselves against the door, listening carefully to the sounds coming from inside.

"Given Desdobia's personality, she deserved to be beaten up. She must have been thinking a lot about how to beat me up before, but she couldn't beat me."

An Yu stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Sister Mei who was leaning against the wall with one hand on her forehead and a helpless expression, and chuckled twice.

"Sister Mei, let's go back, it's getting late."

"It's time to go back, but not to rest."

Once Mebius was sure the two kids had finished their fuss, he glanced calmly at An Yu and led the way away.

She decided to wait until they got back; she had no intention of letting others see the spectacle.

"Hmph, tonight has been quite fruitful, with a main quest companion mission and a side quest invitation mission."

"If I had a leveling system, I could probably level up."

"By the way, Sister Mei and Alicia, you're in for a treat. I've set myself a small goal: to challenge the Herrscher of Food of this era."

"Although I won't focus all my attention on this, I will definitely be more careful when cooking in the future."

"Pots, pans, and utensils, submit to me!"

Just kidding, but after meeting the cook, An Yu suddenly wanted to try the legendary home-style chef's cooking.

My cooking skills definitely can't be too bad. It would be really embarrassing if I couldn't even help out as an assistant.

"I'll be looking forward to it, but An Yu, do you know where there's a supermarket when you go out tonight?"

"Hope doesn't fill my stomach; I'm a little hungry now."

As she spoke, Alicia rubbed her stomach. In the end, she was not as thick-skinned as An Yu and Sister Mei. She did not eat and drink all night. She looked like she ate a lot, but in reality, the same food would stay in her hands for a long time.

An Yu looked at Alicia, who smiled somewhat shyly.

"...Actually, I was a little hungry too. There were too many people earlier, so I was a bit embarrassed to eat."

Chapter 99: Ninety-seven, wait two years, it's no big deal.

"Sigh, let's go together."

Although Mebius wasn't hungry, she was used to eating at dinner parties because she had often been teased and mocked in the past.

Why waste time on meaningless socializing when there's no need to eat at a dinner party?

Come on, wouldn't it be better to hold social events at seminars?

"It's such a pity, we finally got to come out and stay in such a luxurious hotel, but it's already past midnight and we still haven't gone back to sleep. My king-size bed!"

"...Hey, but speaking of which, does such a luxurious hotel offer late-night snacks?" An Yu suddenly paused, since the hotels he had encountered before did not offer this service.

But I think this setting exists in the urban novels I've read.

"That's not important, after all, we're happy right now, aren't we?"

Alicia ate the delicious glutinous rice balls with great satisfaction, feeling that meeting An Yu was the luckiest thing in her life.

Her original plan was to join the army, reveal some of her strength, gain some freedom, and then work hard to achieve dietary freedom.

Now, we've skipped so many steps and gone straight to food freedom, without even spending our own money.

"That's true, so on such a happy day, let's just let some unpleasant things pass!"

"Sister Mei, what do you think of my suggestion?"

"Not so great." Mebius wasn't particularly happy. She didn't think it was anything to be happy about, coming out to eat and drink here in the middle of the night.

An Yu: ...

Well, An Yu isn't happy now either. The thought of getting scolded when he gets back makes even the rice dumpling in his hand seem less delicious.

With her head down, An Yu scrolled through the chat history, but after checking the time, she sighed again.

There's no one I can bother anymore.

"However, this will not happen again. Good intentions are a good thing, but it's best to be careful when you're meddling in other people's business."

"Yes, I knew Sister Mei was the best."

…………

Meanwhile, in places that are roughly two time zones apart.

Vervi was organizing her thesis.

The phone suddenly rang, but before Wilvi could even look at it, the teacher's voice rang out from the doorway.

"It really is true, little genius Vilvie, how could she bear to unmute her phone?"

Somewhat surprised, after all, Vilvi's reclusive nature was well-known.

But this child is truly gifted. He completed advanced mechanical engineering in a year through self-study and has already begun publishing papers to enhance his standing in the industry.

"Anyway, it's not because of you, teacher."

With her head down, after checking her phone and confirming that the message was indeed from her teacher, Wilvi pursed her lips.

"If you ask me, teacher, you're not young anymore, there's really no need for you to stay up so late. You should go to sleep at this time."

It was all for nothing, but after all, he was her teacher, and someone who was willing to care about her studies even late at night.

"I'm just a little reluctant to think that you'll have to develop your own business a year from now."

After all, Vilvi is really too smart. She can figure out any problem, even one that is troubling her, in just a few days.

Aside from being aloof, he is the perfect successor.

But Wilvi had already slipped away once, and her mind was no longer here. Thinking about this, she felt a little heartbroken again.

At his advanced age, he finally found a student he liked, who was self-taught. But after a year of neglect, bam, he was gone.

"In An Yu's words, every separation is for a better reunion."

Seeing the boy's nickname change from 340 to 339 [Waiting], Vilvi felt very good.

Regardless of what happens a year from now, An Yu has never forgotten her promise.

"Bullshit, who would casually part ways just to reunite?"

"Yes, that's what An Yu said too."

"..."

Seeing that the teacher had completely quieted down, Vivi handed the paper she had prepared to the teacher.

“Teacher, I really wanted to stay here with you for a few years, but when I went out to see the world, I found that there are places in this world that need me more.”

"In areas unknown to people, unseen disasters are brewing. This world needs a new savior."

Yes, even without An Yu, after witnessing the Honkai, Velvet wouldn't have developed in a conventional, slow-and-steady manner.

She has this talent; she can defy conventional wisdom.

"..."

"Is this also one of his words?"

Help! Where did my introverted student, who craves attention but seems cheerful on the surface, actually craves recognition, go?

Who is this overconfident, chuunibyou girl?!

“I made a slight change, but I didn’t lie. Even if An Yu didn’t exist, I wouldn’t stay here for long. I cherish the beauty of life, but what I yearn for even more is the unknown.”

Speaking of which, the speed of Honkai's development, its corrosive nature, and its transformative power—which even Velvey is currently unaware of—are all remarkable.

Yes, alteration or assimilation. She's not a good person. Although she wouldn't go so far as to use humans for experiments now, she feels no remorse whatsoever for using animals as control subjects.

She wasn't a biology major, but she understood what it meant that the emergence of a new species only required being corrupted by Honkai.

There's a high probability that the Honkai was caused by a civilization or a race. Even if it wasn't, if humanity didn't pay attention, it would slowly develop into a civilization.

The time required for enlightenment is long, but in the grand scheme of history, given the nature of collapse, it is definitely enough.

Her kind and gentle Xiao Anyu is not only reliable, but the information she provides is also surprisingly helpful.

"With that An Yu?"

“Yes, he told me that life is always about spending long periods of time waiting, just like he waited for me to recover and for me to come and finish everything, so it doesn’t matter if I wait for him for two years.”

Anyway, she has plenty of time.

After all, a person's time is always lacking in emotion, and memories without emotion are worthless and can only be used to reminisce about past hardships or lament how difficult things were.

"Isn't it a year?"

The teacher was taken aback. She thought that Wilvi had softened and was planning to stay here for another year.

But staying an extra year is actually pointless, because Wilville can finish everything within a year. If she's not focused on the task at hand, it's better not to stay at all.

"Oh, this one? He's 16 this year." Vivi replied casually. After all, she had a good relationship with the teacher, and there was no need to hide this kind of thing. She wasn't that kind of person, and she wasn't going to say it outright anyway.

teacher:……

After a long silence, the teacher finally let out a long sigh.

"I used to really hate that brat named An Yu, but now, I suddenly don't hate him as much anymore."

"Vilvie, you...you'd better figure it out yourself."

Chapter 100: Ninety-eight Yuan for Keeping Him?

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

You seem really happy today, did something good happen?

The academic conference on the second day was not scheduled for An Yu and Alicia, but they could go there during dinner.

So the two of them were quite free. When Alicia had nothing to do in her room, she would come over to play with An Yu. Even just playing games together was more fun than playing alone.

"You might not believe it, but I can now spend money." Actually, spending money wasn't that exciting, because An Yu didn't have much of a desire to spend money.

But having money makes him happy, though he doesn't know exactly why, he just feels confident.

"Um, how do I swipe it?"

This touched on a blind spot in Alicia's knowledge, since in her opinion, money is quite hard to earn, let alone using the word "spend".

"I modified the reality parameters!"

Alicia nodded as if she understood, but seemed to think it was very impressive.

"Look at your phone."

Following An Yu's words, Alicia opened her phone and her fingers trembled as she looked at the transfer amount.

Although she still found it absurd, she began to believe that An Yu could make money, but there was one thing she needed to clarify.

“An Yu, I don’t accept being kept by a sugar daddy.”

An Yu: ...

"Don't get me wrong, I like pretty older women, I definitely don't like girls around my age."
