Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

Cute Fairy: Of course it's valuable, Little Paddo! That's a little dress that Möbius treasured; it's worth at least this much, 99999~

Pado counted on her fingers, her eyes gleaming with longing for the glittering silver coins.

"Wow, if I can rescue Sister Ellie, I can get nearly 100,000 shiny silver coins! I'm rich!"

AAA Cat Shopping Agent (I Don't Want to Work Hard Anymore, Meow): Sister Aili, wait, we're coming to the lab to rescue you.

Lab of Labs: Little Paddo, I heard everything you said. Even if you have the ability of Su's second divine key, the Herrscher of the Void, which allows you to manipulate space, are you sure you can really rescue Ellie from my hands?

AAA Cat Shopping Agent: Um... well~

Where did this curly hair come from?: Paddo, when did you wake up?

When Xia Yuan discovered her, Pado stopped pretending to be asleep, stretched on the sofa and stood up quickly, showing off her beautiful figure. Then, Pado Phyllis hugged Xia Yuan's leg and kept rubbing against him.

"Brother Xia Yuan, come with us to rescue Sister Ai Li, okay? After we sell Sister Snake's little skirt and get the money, we'll split it 20/80, no, 30/70, okay? Okay?"

Padofelis was like a spoiled kitten at that moment.

Seeing that Xia Yuan remained silent, Padofelis puffed out her round little face, pushed Xia Yuan away with a slightly angry expression, and pointed to the old contract of servitude, saying, "Brother Xia Yuan, you can't treat me like this. You should know that the contract clearly stipulates that if one party is in trouble, the other party must lend a helping hand!"

Xia Yuan glanced at the contract that had been temporarily altered by Padofelis, and noticed an extra line of small print at the bottom.

[Padofilis reserves the right to interpret all terms of this contract.]

As Xia Yuan reached out his hand, Padofelis instinctively pulled the contract into her bosom.

"Hey, Xia Yuan, what are you trying to do? It's all written here in black and white, no take-backs allowed. We can split it 50/50, a deal no one has ever received before!"

This is the greatest sincerity that Padofilis has shown.

Perhaps out of a slight sense of apology for what happened before~

Xia Yuan still decided to help Pado rescue Xiao Ai Li from Mebius's laboratory. After all... Xiao Ai Li had sold him out again without his knowledge, and this time she sold him to Dr. Mebius.

Perhaps in six months, I will no longer be myself...

Even for the sake of his own future safety, he was determined to rescue the fairy Ellie from Mebius's clutches.

"That's great, Brother Xia Yuan!"

Upon seeing that the other party had agreed, Padofelis happily threw herself into Xia Yuan's arms, her eyes sparkling with longing for the glittering silver coins.

Feeling the delicate body of the girl in his arms, Xia Yuan's heart trembled.

【Hey, Xia, your emotions were a bit off just now... What's wrong...? You haven't fallen for this kitten, have you? Anyway, you're only brave enough to be with me, not anyone else. Want me to take over your body and devour this kitten for you?】

Miss [Extremely Evil] seemed to have regained her former arrogance, and said to Xia Yuan in a mocking tone.

"Who said that? At least there's Miss Kuroki~"

[Hey, you surnamed Xia, tell me honestly, who is this Miss Hei hope you're talking about? Why are you calling her that more intimately than I am?!]

Xia Yuan realized he had let something slip...

He had already foreseen the confrontations that would ensue when the two met again, so he simply kept quiet.

Chapter 120 The Rescue of Ellie's Squad~

Xia Yuan had no choice but to let Miss [Extremely Evil] continue to shout in the small room of his consciousness space, indulging in her little tantrums.

Just then~

A slightly lively and cheerful voice came from not far from the living room.

Miss Velvet, the "Magician," who had woken up at some unknown time, put her arms around Xia Yuan and Padofelis's shoulders, her eyes slightly narrowed, and said in a very kind and warm manner:

"Dear magic assistant, Little Paddo, you two seem to be discussing something very interesting. Would you like me to come along?"

Paddophilis was flustered when she heard Velvi's voice in her ear, but out of her desire for the shiny silver coins, Paddophilis selectively forgot about what had happened in the kitchen not long ago, and welcomed Velvi's arrival as if nothing had happened.

"Of course, no problem, Sister Wilvi. Your participation gives us even more confidence in rescuing Sister Aili. Okay, let's officially announce the formation of the Cat Special Operations Team!"

Looking at the two people in front of her, Padofelis patted her chest with great enthusiasm and said.

However, compared to Padofelis' optimism, Xia Yuan remained pessimistic because... could his group really defeat the [Infinite] snake, Mebius, who possessed infinite regeneration abilities?

How could someone surnamed Xia boost the morale of others while diminishing their own?

[How do you know you can't win before the fight even starts? There's nothing a genius engineer can't solve!]

"So, Miss [Extremely Evil], what good ideas do you have?"

[Of course, we'd activate the backup hidden energy source and use over 1 million tons of TNT to completely obliterate Möbius and her laboratory in a massive mushroom cloud!]

"Then... what about little Ellie?"

【Um... well, why bother with her? She's just an armed doll, not even Ellie's true form. Once it's razed to the ground, Ellie has plenty of replacements—enough to fill the entire Paradise of the Past.】

"No... Little Ellie is unique and irreplaceable."

[Hey, Xia, you already have me, why do you still want that armored doll?]

"In short, Miss [Extreme Evil] forbids the use of nuclear warheads and any weapons capable of leveling Paradise."

For Xia Yuan, Xiao Aili is one of a kind.

Perhaps the years of raising him had caused Xia Yuan to develop feelings for him.

【Tsk~】

With a cold snort from [Extremely Evil] Velvi, the girl ignored Xia Yuan and chose to remain silent. She wanted to see if the man surnamed Xia could come up with a better solution than her.

Clearly, her method was the most convenient, practical, efficient, quick, and effective...

The target and all others were completely wiped out.

Whether or not the person surnamed Xia truly understands the value contained within an explosion is a matter of debate!

"Pado, since we're going to rescue little Ellie, do you have any good battle plans?"

Xia Yuan inquired.

"Of course! Brother Xia Yuan, look at what we have in our hands. As long as we establish spatial coordinates and find the exact location where Sister Ai Li is imprisoned in the laboratory, we can use [Thousand Realms One Journey] to rescue Sister Ai Li while Sister Snake isn't paying attention."

Padofelis waved the second divine key in her hand at Xia Yuan.

However, Mebius must have been wary of such a simple plan.

Just as Xia Yuan came up with a reasonable solution, little Greta, carrying the "Pink Cabbage Girl," appeared in his line of sight from not far away.

Little Gretchen came to the group, raised her little hand, and gestured to them:

"And Gretchen, and Gretchen, Brother Xia Yuan... Sister Pado... Aunt Wilvi, don't forget Gretchen!"

Looking at Gretchen dressed like Little Red Riding Hood, Xia Yuan, who was still thinking about how to fight Dr. Mebius, suddenly had a bright idea. If they were in the Paradise of the Past, who would Mebius be least willing to hurt?

So, besides Klein, it can only be Greta.

Xia Yuan, like the Big Bad Wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood, crouched down and coaxed Gretchen, saying:

"How could we possibly forget our little adult? Little Gretchen, would you like to play a fun game called 'Little Red Riding Hood, Here Comes' with me, Padofelis, and Velvet and your Aunt Mebius?"

"Hey... Brother Xia Yuan, if Gretsch plays this game, will she become an adult?"

"Of course, little Gretchen, once you participate in this game, you'll definitely become an excellent adult~"

Before Xia Yuan could respond to Little Gresh, Miss Virvi, the "Magician," leaned down slightly and whispered something to Gresh. After hearing Virvi's words, Gresh's eyes sparkled.

[Pah! Con artist! They even fool children!]

“Miss [Extreme Evil], I think this is more like a white lie. I wonder how you, Miss [Extreme Evil], would explain the fact that you even bullied little Gretsch in the Golden Garden before?”

[Hmph, you surnamed Xia, you'll just keep spoiling her!]

[Extremely Evil] Vilvi was sullen.

If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to leave my "true self" here as my personal maid, serving me tea and water, and even teasing her from time to time. Now, seeing Xia Yuan so siding with my other self makes me very angry.

At this moment, Gretchen's eyes were filled with longing as she raised her little hand.

"Gresh understands, Brother Xia Yuan... Gresh will prepare mushrooms to visit Grandma Mébius~"

"Mebius, Snake Grandmother...?"

This was a rather novel name for Mebius.

Xia Yuan chuckled to herself, wondering how Möbius would react when he learned of her nickname.

"Listen up, teammates. We are about to embark on a very difficult rescue operation. We will be facing Dr. Möbius. Every step of the plan must take the worst-case scenario into account and be fully prepared."

The group gathered around Xia Yuan, discussing and refining the battle plan.

After a moment...

At this point, the fairy Ellie was already 90% stuffed with small cakes by Mebius.

Every second passes~

The fairy Ellie is getting closer to reaching her limit, and time is running out for Xia Yuan and the others.

"Hehe, I have a feeling that with this approach, we're bound to succeed this time. We're sure we can rescue Sister Ellie from Sister Snake. Cat Special Rescue Team, move out!"

Padoflis could already imagine how many good things she could buy after selling Snake Sister's little dress and getting silver coins.

Gretchen strives to become an adult.

Chapter 121 Mebius, Snake Grandmother?

Miss Velvet, the magician, is finding joy in life.

Wherever there is an audience, there she will be; that is her stage.

Finally~

Xia Yuan, considering his own future and safety, risked his life to carry out the rescue; a hero cannot desert his post!

And so, a rescue team for Ellie, each with their own dreams and aspirations, was born.

Despite being labeled a genius despite being the epitome of evil:

With the help of the "Extremely Evil" Virvi, Mr. Xia Yuan possesses extremely powerful learning abilities, spiritual perception, and is a distinguished guest of the Paradise of the Past, a partner of justice, and a hard-working man who never slacks off.

It was given the name "Empty Dream":

Padoflis, the thirteenth hero of the Fire Moths, possesses incredible luck and agility, and is adept at finding treasures and recovering lost items instantly, no matter where they are.

It is given the name "spiral":

Miss Vervière, the greatest magician in history, performed magic tricks on the street.

And the most crucial person in this operation:

Known as "Stars," she is a pure and innocent sky-blue girl who loves to draw. She is a little painter who can perceive the colors around her and bring them to life with her paintbrush. Her special trump card against Dr. Möbius is Little Gretchen.

"Dear magic assistant, why is my introduction so brief? Could you add just a tiny bit more before we set off?"

[The Magician] Velvet handed Xia Yuan a full sheet of writing.

Upon seeing the nickname above, it was indeed quite a bit, which was immediately denied by Xia Yuan, the team leader.

“Mr. Xia Yuan, this is dictatorship! As a member of this team, I strongly demand democracy!”

"The Magician," Vilvie said righteously from the side.

"Protest denied~ As the captain, I have veto power. Miss Velvet, obey orders. This is the captain's command. Now, execute the first part of the plan... accompany little Gretchen to pick mushrooms~"

That's it~

Little Red Riding Hood and her three friends and family members embarked on a journey to visit Grandma Snake.

"Grandma Snake, sweetie, open the door~ Gretchen wants to come in."

Little Gretchen hummed her own adapted nursery rhyme, holding a whole basket full of mushrooms in her hands. These were brightly colored, colorful, and delicious mushrooms prepared for Grandma Möbius.

Greta walked at the very front of the group.

Judging from the girl's expression, Gretchen seemed very happy, as if she had forgotten what Mebius had said about the unpleasantness of not being able to become an adult, or perhaps it was because of Miss Velvet's well-intentioned lie not long ago.

But after everyone accompanied little Gretchen to pick mushrooms, Xia Yuan encountered an unexpected person on the way.

A cherry blossom petal, swaying in the wind, landed gently on Xia Yuan's fingertip. The hilt of her unsheathed sword emanated a chilling aura, and accompanied by the falling cherry blossoms, she walked towards Xia Yuan and her group.

Why is Sakura here?

[Hmph, idiots, why aren't you using your genius thinking now? Do you even need to ask? Of course, I called Sakura here. With just the few of you, and without access to my hidden backup energy in Paradise, how could you possibly be a match for Mebius if a fight really broke out?]

Out of concern for Xia Yuan.
