Honkai Impact 3rd is not considered a small opening

However, Alicia didn't start working immediately. To be honest, she was quite satisfied with today's result.

An Yu didn't continue, which made everyone happy. However, they couldn't destroy the Honkai Tree, as it contained a lot of Honkai energy.

"Your description makes me a little itchy to know what I actually look like?"

She failed, she really failed, but An Yu wasn't discouraged. Failure was normal, after all, she had locked her health, so it was reasonable for the Honkai side not to open the door.

But what do I look like now? A purple-skinned boy? Thanos-like?

Alicia hesitated for a moment. She didn't have the habit of carrying a small mirror with her, and she didn't bring her phone either; she left it outside.

Going out isn't a good idea either, since An Yu's situation hasn't been resolved yet.

"Hmm, well, who told Alicia to be so understanding? We'll have to watch closely."

As she spoke, Alicia leaned closer to An Yu, blinking her big eyes, her azure pupils reflecting the boy's current appearance.

Before An Yu could think any further, he had already seen what he looked like.

"No, it's really that abstract!"

Thanos is better, because An Yu glows! It's a purple and white combination, and he's Ultraman!

It's Ultraman Tiga in his aerial form!

Just as An Yu turned her head and chuckled twice, she saw the crystal barrier to the side. She paused for a moment, walked to the crystal barrier, and looked at the reflection of the person on it. A strange sense of amusement welled up inside her.

Alicia, realizing what had happened, didn't feel embarrassed at all, since she hadn't thought of it before.

"Okay, okay, stop admiring it and hurry up and remove it. It's ugly and makes me unhappy."

Chapter 138: 136, you're not a father anymore.

"Success?"

Einstein's expression was somewhat ambiguous. Judging from their expressions, it seemed like they had succeeded, but considering the pink trees in the field that resembled the Hagibis, it might not be so.

"It failed, but it wasn't a complete failure. Hmm, maybe that's Schrödinger's success."

Although An Yu initially intended to be invincible, Feng Ge clearly had a clear division of labor, so there was no such thing as locking in health, and he also unlocked all of your other things.

When in a state of invincibility, he becomes a noble all-resistance card; his stats can be increased, but the card's properties will not change.

Seemingly finding Dr. Einstein to be a nice person, An Yu didn't hide anything and directly revealed the purple patterns on her body.

The main problem is that there's such a big tree there; there's no way to hide it even if you wanted to.

Einstein adjusted her glasses. An Yu might seem a bit intimidating to others, but in her eyes, the outfit was quite cool.

"What do you mean? Dr. Möbius shouldn't come and cause trouble, right?"

He tucked the black coat behind An Yu without making any seam-making movements, and only walked out while chatting after An Yu was completely covered up.

"Sister Mei wouldn't be so unreasonable, and my current situation is perfectly normal."

To reiterate, it locks health, but not the upper limit. The algorithm is strange, but An Yu has seen it before.

Because the health bar on the panel is a percentage, and the health lock also locks a percentage, you can increase the value, but you cannot change the race to change the health bar.

"I wonder if you, Doctor, have carefully studied the difference between Honkai energy resistance and adaptability."

"Under normal circumstances, the term 'resistance' should be constantly increasing. However, if we separate adaptability from resistance, the increase in each person's Honkai resistance is negligible."

"But the Honkai energy my body is receiving is even higher... This is obvious, Honkai is dualistic, not a diode. However, the reason I differentiated the adaptive aspect is because of Sister Mei."

At this point, An Yu hesitated for a moment. Normally speaking, adaptability and resistance are actually two different concepts. One is resisting negative influences, and the other is improving one's state under favorable conditions.

That's just how Honkai is; you can't completely deny its role just because of its corrosive nature.

"Well, I don't have any accurate data right now, but since I've been using myself as a sample, my body is constantly pushing its limits in contact with the Honkai."

"Perhaps if you make a global comparison between soldiers who have been exposed to Honkai and those who haven't, Doctor, you'll find that humanity has already begun to evolve."

However, An Yu couldn't give any examples at the moment. If he were familiar with the plot, he could quickly suggest the future Kevin, the future Hua, and, well, Kosmo would also be one.

These humans, who haven't undergone systematic training, have already surpassed their limits. Kevin is an exception, he's overpowered, but Hua, who shattered a large rock with a single punch—is that even human?

"Just like Sister Mei's research, decades ago the human sprint champion only had a time of 9.58. Now I can easily surpass that time. If you say it's because I'm eating better... then you win. But just a few months ago, my sprint time was around eleven seconds."

Einstein nodded. She had been paying attention to this, after all, whether it was An Yu or the monster from the poisonous pupa, their physical abilities were somewhat inhuman, even compared to ordinary special forces soldiers.

Therefore, she never doubted whether Alicia and Anyu were human. She just felt that Anyu and Alicia's understanding of Honkai was beyond that of ordinary people.

"So, who are you now?"

"Because of my special physique, I can temporarily ignore the conversion formula, disregard the erosion of the collapse, and increase my speed like having a Baidu Cloud membership."

Einstein understood that the world was not without geniuses, such as Möbius... Faced with something like being born with knowledge, most other extraordinary things were not unacceptable.

This is not praise. In fact, because of Möbius's innate knowledge and his experiences of studying alone in the laboratory at the age of nine, people's expectations of her grew higher and higher. Möbius did not disappoint their high expectations, but she did fail to live up to their expectations.

But now it seems that Mebius did not disappoint in any way.

"That tree?"

"...Things that are too beautiful always come with some danger. If possible, let's not use that room anymore." An Yu said, covering her face, a little embarrassed.

That tree, without exaggeration, contains Honkai energy equal to the maximum of Alicia's blue energy limit.

Due to its unique nature, Honkai Impact 3rd's mana regeneration speed is very fast as long as you don't get debuffed, just like in Infinite Firepower mode.

So by the time Alicia realized something was wrong, the Honkai energy within the Flawless Dome of You and Me had already reached an extremely exaggerated level.

However, this also reflects something else: in the state of locked health, An Yu can infinitely increase his mana bar, although only for a short time. After all, his body cannot withstand so much Honkai energy, and he cannot surpass Alicia in a short time...

An Yu glanced at the absent-minded roe deer behind him and twitched his lips. He couldn't think of a solution unless he could modify the save file.

Einstein nodded. It didn't matter; as long as no one was allowed in, it was fine. With the current level of artificial intelligence, simple information collection could be done entirely in a completely enclosed space.

Honkai energy?

Laugh, the air won't even give you a chance to breathe.

"By the way, who is Schrödinger? Or is it a concept you proposed?"

An Yu fell silent. How could this be explained?

Is Schrödinger your future best friend? Or is Schrödinger a scientist from another world, or perhaps a cat abuser?

"I'll go back and organize my thoughts. While Schrödinger's cat doesn't offer much to delve into, it does provide a direct and convenient quantum concept."

When An Yu first learned about it, he didn't care much. It was cat abuse, and it was explained in a very simple and easy-to-understand way. In fact, he thought it was nonsense and a bit of sophistry.

However, if we only look at it conceptually, it does indeed point out the concept of the observer in quantum mechanics, and the philosophical question of whether a cat is dead or alive when no one observes it.

Hmm~ I feel that An Yu's cognitive circle is strange, giving people a sense of looking down on others.

"Should I apply for a bachelor's degree for you?"

So Einstein is planning something big. He'll just point at An Yu and say, "He's incredibly talented. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"

Look at the old guard in academia, how many are still stubborn and how many are still ambitious?

"..."*2

Alicia, who was lost in thought, was suddenly drawn to this bold statement. After looking around and confirming that it was An Yu who was speaking, she was stunned for a while.

I was just spacing out for a bit, where were you guys chatting about? Is this really the An Yu I know?

P.S. The biggest surprise today is that the Reincarnation Paradise has officially resumed updates.

Chapter 139: 137 Calls Me Academician!

"Who? An Yu? Scholar?" One sentence, three question marks. Alicia's mind was in a daze. How did An Yu get involved with this word?

"Hmm, is it because you think it's too low?"

"Actually, I also think it's too low. An Yu's expertise in Honkai seems a bit too low to be described as just a bachelor. After all, he is Dr. Mebius's younger brother, a representative of the Honkai consciousness advocates, and currently the only scholar who has researched Honkai evolution."

“But those higher degrees are meaningless, and jumping directly to academician is too fast. There are always some old-fashioned seniors in academia who stick to the rules and can’t stand this kind of thing.”

Einstein seemed not to understand Alicia's meaning and continued to ramble on about things that sounded ridiculous.

An Yu cautiously raised her hand.

"Um, what is a bachelor's degree?"

Einstein: ...

She thought she was thick-skinned enough, but after hearing those words, she still couldn't hold back and paused for a moment.

"Graduating from university means obtaining a bachelor's degree."

“…Oh, then I think I can do it!” Upon hearing that she had only graduated from university, An Yu immediately turned serious and spoke very loudly.

Alicia objects? What does a mere woman like her know?

"I'll apply for it for you tomorrow, and you should be able to get your bachelor's degree."

What's the use? It's fun, and it does allow you to see other people's attitudes clearly.

An Yu's identity is still quite special. Although becoming a bachelor is nothing special, he applied for his bachelor's degree himself, so An Yu's insistence is not a joke.

Alicia was stunned. After Sister Mei returned home, she told her about it, and surprisingly, Sister Mei didn't object!

Oh no, oh no! This world is broken! An Yu, who only graduated from high school, was able to skip to a bachelor's degree. If I study hard for two years, I'll be on the same level as Sister Mei.

Einstein wasn't joking; she applied the very next day.

Reasons? An Yu's insights into Honkai, Honkai's theory of human evolution, and Schrödinger's cat.

They were all very ordinary things, except for that evolutionary theory, which did make people look at An Yu with new respect.

...Heaven has mercy on us. After reading that theory, An Yu couldn't even understand it herself. The usually introverted An Yu finally knew what it was like to have a social butterfly friend.

He really didn't want to become famous this time!

And that's not all. Einstein applied for academician status, and academicians of the "Moth Chasing the Flame" program can open their own laboratories... not ordinary laboratories, but experimental centers, the kind that are supported by policies, at the same level as Sister Mei's First Laboratory.

Even Mebius, who was initially indifferent, was stunned; she hadn't expected Einstein to be so unconventional.

As expected, I was rejected, but not outright. It was a very ambiguous stage, and who knows, maybe one day I'll give in to An Yu out of politeness.

Alicia swallowed hard, looking at the final result and then at the silly An Yu. To be honest, she was a little tempted.

"Sister Mei~"

"...At least An Yu has her own opinions. What do you have?"

Moreover, Einstein went mad; she wrote a 6,000-word paper for An Yu, only to add her own name at the end.

Who would dare to think of that! Otherwise, An Yu's opinion, which sounded like she was possessed by a god, would have been rejected long ago.

"Is it possible that this paper was written by a machine?"

An Yu's hands were shaking slightly. To be honest, he really couldn't understand it. It just seemed very impressive, but he hadn't looked up the data inside.

Mebius was silent for a moment, then shook his head. Impossible.

She wasn't particularly concerned about such things, and if Blanca hadn't reminded her that An Yu had published a paper, she wouldn't have bothered to even glance at it.

But after reading it, she was truly stunned. When did An Yu become more capable than Blanca?

"You're not really her biological brother, are you?"

Stop joking, even a biological brother wouldn't be like that, and An Yu and Einstein don't look alike at all.

“I’ve only known the doctor for a little over a week… When I went to Mu Continent before, I had my first conversation with her, which was over the phone.”

Six thousand words may not sound like much, just three chapters of a novel, but this is a thesis, the kind that can be published in a journal. If it weren't for the current censorship, this would be enough to secure a PhD.

"Oh no, did I forget to tell Dr. Einstein that I have a girlfriend?"

Möbius: ...

Alicia: ?

"I think there's no need to be so narcissistic."

But she was still so envious. An Yu had a happy family, her career was on the rise, and her academic achievements were almost at their peak.

Wow, why?!

"Don't overthink it. She's a nice person and won't cheat you."
