Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

Instead, he earnestly shared his experience with An Yu.

"What kind of look is that! I, Alicia, know far more than you do, so you'd better listen to me, or you'll regret it later."

"Really, An Yu, you're still young. Don't rush things. Wait two years, until you're an adult and can think things through calmly, then consider whether you're being blinded by greed before thinking about anything else."

I ate another small cake; it was sweet and had an eggy aroma. An Yu's cooking skills are getting better and better.

An Yu didn't know what to say. Alicia had too much personal bias, and he didn't need her to teach him. In order to verify the phone's security system, he asked for a lot of websites, including anime websites and novel websites.

Now he understands everything, but he hasn't tried it yet, so he's not greedy for it.

"But how did you know that? You're not even 18 yet, are you?"

"Who knows?" Alicia muttered to herself. She had no idea how many years had passed since she started wandering.

But if she feels she is 16 years old and looks like she is 16, then she is 16!

"Never mind that, but if you do anything excessive, I'll call the police and have you arrested."

An Yu: ...

"Be careful when you eat in the future, I might secretly put croton seeds in your food."

Chapter 118: 116 I've Cheated!

Honestly, An Yu felt that she and Alicia had nothing more to say to each other.

This scoundrel just can't stand to see himself doing well.

At first, An Yu wondered if it was possible that Alicia liked her, but Alicia's rejection was so quick that she clearly didn't have that thought.

So this child just can't stand to see him doing well!

Next time I cook, I'll secretly put a spoonful of salt in her bowl.

An Yu had originally planned to go to Sister Mei's place in the afternoon, but Sister Blanca said she was very busy today, so she decided not to bother her.

So, what should I wear for our first meeting? Should I bring my Flameblade Greatsword?

Hmm, let's forget about it. Ling is a girl after all, and she probably won't like the Flame Blaze Greatsword. An Yu patted her old friend helplessly.

"Sorry, partner, but your current strength can't keep up with my speed."

"But it's not bad to stay home and look forward to my triumphant return, is it?"

The Flame Blaze Greatsword is ultimately just a plastic product. It was fine for playing around in the past, but now the games he plays are getting more intense, which is a shame.

"By the way, An Yu, you shouldn't use what I taught you in the future."

Before An Yu could have time to be confused and shocked, Alicia's tone was somewhat low and somber.

"What you're experiencing is indeed Honkai erosion, but your constitution is very special, and your body is also adapting to Honkai energy, which gives you the feeling of becoming stronger."

However, during the last battle, if I hadn't arrived in time, An Yu, with her purple markings all over her body, would probably be in hell... well, she should be reporting to heaven.

An Yu is not her kind, but a human with a very strong and special physique.

"I don't understand. If it's really getting stronger, why stop?"

"Wait, wait, Lady Alicia, are you going to abandon me?"

Seemingly having figured out the reason, An Yu panicked and was then hit hard on the head by Alicia.

"Haven't you noticed that your body is absorbing Honkai energy at an increasingly faster rate?"

"Your Honkai energy resistance is constantly decreasing, and the rate at which your adaptability is increasing cannot keep up with the rate at which your resistance is decreasing. You are absorbing Honkai energy too quickly. Even though your physical attributes are very special, you can no longer maintain the balance."

An Yu's body cannot be said to be special, but it can only be described as typical. All the reactions of an individual human being to the Honkai are reflected in him, only more obviously.

If it weren't for her meddling, An Yu's body's adaptability to Honkai energy and its resistance to it should have been balanced, or even that the rate of adaptability increase should have been faster than the rate of resistance decrease.

However, this premature exposure to high concentrations of Honkai energy has disrupted the balance...

Alicia spent two nights researching this matter before she finally understood it.

"What will be the consequences if this continues?"

"The rate at which the Honkai is spreading within you is accelerating until one day, even simple combat Honkai will erode your sanity."

This is actually quite unreasonable, because there is no need for the Honkai to spread throughout the body for one's rationality to be eroded, but An Yu's appearance does not show any signs of the Honkai eroding her rationality.

An Yu blinked, understanding a little.

"What if I have no resistance left, and my body is covered in Honkai energy, but I am unaffected and withstand it? What would happen then?"

It sounds terrifying. According to the normal plot, no matter how much An Yu wants to improve, she has to proceed gradually. It's impossible for her to face the pseudo-Herrscher in two months. It would take at least... three months?

But he has a cheat code.

"Do you think this is some kind of shonen manga? You think you can overcome trials just by shouting about friendship and bonds? You'll just get corrupted by the Honkai and become a fool, your mind filled with nothing but Honkai thoughts. Then you won't be An Yu anymore!"

Sometimes Alicia really thinks An Yu is quite fanciful. An Yu believes that he is the savior, so he is not corrupted by darkness. How can there be such a good thing?

But I have a cheat code.

"Ellie! My dear Ellie! What will happen if I take the blame?"

But An Yu is really curious. The changes in the Honkai seem to happen in an instant, right? Oh no, according to Anna, it probably takes some time, but it shouldn't last forever.

His cheat program has been running for almost 30 hours now!

Wouldn't that be using human beings to challenge divine authority?

"……do not know."

"Ellie, dear Ellie, I really have no intention of taking any risks, please tell me."

Alicia: ...

"Your current expression doesn't seem like you lack a sense of adventure."

"I really don't know. I'm a newbie in this field. But I guess even if you survive, nothing will change. You'll just be a rational suicide soldier."

An Yu nodded reluctantly. A rational assassin, huh? Then it's alright. He was originally planning to try and see if he could become the Second Herrscher.

He'll use the Void Spear to get everything! He'll even use spatial teleportation for just two steps!

You say the Spear of the Void is very sharp? It doesn't matter, as long as it looks cool.

"So you listened to me?"

"I understand. We should proceed gradually and steadily, without being greedy for quick results or rushing ahead. That's probably what you mean."

Actually, no. Alicia hopes that An Yu will stop touching Honkai in the future, but that's impossible. An Yu would definitely not agree to that, so a gradual approach is the best way.

But where did this gradual progression of time come from? An Yu leaned against the window, looking at the clear sky.

Reality isn't a game; it's a gradual process, a cycle that continues until someone knows exactly what the limit is.

Alicia's "gradual progression" actually means that, while ensuring the early stages of life, the speed can be reduced indefinitely.

He casually picked up the Flame Blaze Greatsword and placed it across the window. The afternoon sunlight was gentle and orange, reflecting off the greatsword and giving it a touch of color.

"We will win, partner."

You'll wish me well too, right?

Xin Yan, draw your sword!

Alicia breathed a sigh of relief seeing An Yu's cheerful expression, hoping he had taken her words to heart. Besides, she was glad that An Yu could have so much fun all by himself.

"Let's go, Alicia. Didn't you want to meet Ling? Well, it's almost time for school to let out. I checked the navigation before, and if we go now, we can find a great spot near the school gate."

Alicia checked the time; it was a little past four in the afternoon. So going to school was this good? School ended at a little past four?

No, Alicia followed An Yu to a bright spot near the school gate. She checked the time; it was almost five o'clock.

Oh, school should end at five o'clock.

"Why are there so few people? Don't they care about something as important as picking up their kids? A bunch of careless adults."

"After all, there's still more than half an hour before school ends, so there's no need to come so early."

Alicia: ?

Chapter 119: First Encounter with Ling (117)

For some reason, seeing An Yu's expectant expression, Alicia suddenly lost the urge to blame her.

He seems to have really fallen for her.

Otherwise, why would An Yu care so much about a little girl she's never met?

Do you know what Ling looks like?

An Yu was taken aback. Ying probably forgot about it and didn't give him the photo.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and kept tapping on his phone to disturb Sakura.

"I don't know, but it's okay. No matter how many people there are later, I will still be able to recognize Ling's face."

"If you ask why, it's because I, Ling, would never mistake someone else."

Probably, after all, she's the eldest sister monster. Just like Sakura, even though there are some differences between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds, he recognized Sakura at a glance, and so did Alicia.

On the contrary, Sister Mei just doesn't seem to fit that sickly girl at all.

Alicia: ...

I didn't ask why, and what's with that expression on your face that says you two are really close?

"Is she also a destined partner?"

The voice was very soft. Alicia was really curious about how many companions An Yu had mentioned.

“Ling? No, she’s not. A child like her should just stay at home. There’s no need for her to go to the battlefield.”

"And... I also hope she can be safe and sound."

Although he's a skip party member, Ling's past seems to be a tragedy. An Yu doesn't know the specifics, but considering Sakura's personality, Ling's age, her status as a Herrscher, and the current attitude of the Flame Chaser towards the Honkai...

You can create more than ten versions of tragic stories by randomly combining any of the An Yu's words.

"By the way, it seems that many of the partners you mentioned can't really help you, like me."

Imitating An Yu, Alicia sat on a nearby trash can, swinging her legs and looking at the school gate in the distance, which was still mostly deserted, lost in thought.

"You've been a huge help!"

"Battles are always accompanied by bloodshed, so it's normal to be unwilling. Besides, Lady An Yu has already decided to go on in your place."

As he spoke, An Yu stretched out his arm, and the loose sleeve kept slipping down. Under his deliberate manipulation, the holy wound reappeared on his arm.

"Look, before I met you, I never thought that an ordinary person like me could master the use of Honkai energy so quickly."

The fusion warrior project seems a long way off. Even though An Yu had subtly hinted at it to Sister Mei, there's still no sign of the plan taking shape.

An Yu wasn't sure exactly when the Fusion Warriors system was officially implemented, so being able to master Honkai energy now was something very impressive and something to be proud of.

Snapped!

As Alicia extended two fingers and forcefully slapped him, An Yu lowered her arm somewhat indignantly.

"Nobody saw it, why did you have to use so much force?"

I even used two fingers to make sure I didn't pull too hard.

"You don't seem to be so averse to Honkai energy."

Alicia acted as if she hadn't heard anything, rubbing her fingers. The pain quickly subsided, but judging from the red marks on An Yu's arm, it would probably hurt for a while.

"Why should I reject Honkai? Ultimately, the difference between Honkai and natural gas is that Honkai is more destructive. Now that I have a way to use Honkai energy, what I need to think about is how to make Honkai a completely controllable energy source."

"Like this."

An Yu seemed to have a short memory of being beaten, and reached out again, continuously shaping the beautiful crystal flower into a greatsword, chains, daggers, and even miniature figures.

"It's such a useful energy source, but just like gas, it can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if used improperly. I'm currently figuring out how to use it without being affected."

Snapped!

"Hiss, Alicia! You're addicted to smoking."

Looking at the two red marks on her arm, An Yu kept rubbing them, as if that would lessen the pain.

"I think you did it on purpose, but you didn't expect that even when you were focused, you weren't as fast as me and couldn't dodge it."

"I'll definitely be able to dodge it next time."
