Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

These two kids, if given enough resources, could easily run their own labs and even achieve results.

And the most frustrating thing is that although Klein is a professional, his expertise in that area may not be as strong as those two who are "multi-skilled"...

This is a combination of two geniuses and a powerful ox...

When Klein encounters a problem she can't solve, but it's not so serious or sophisticated that it requires Möbius's intervention, that's when these two little ones can truly shine—although the best place for them to do so would be to be thrown out and set up a laboratory.

Although it was Liu Bai who conducted the interview, he still had to admit that Möbius's judgment was spot on.

By the way, speaking of this... Liu Bai remembered that Mebius had previously said he would take him to find Mei, which was also a way of scouting talent.

It's been a month already, and I don't know if Mebius forgot because he was too busy or what—at least Liu Bai only remembered it now.

Chapter 148 The Core of the Weather Team - Cocolia

"Little White: Mouse?" When Liu Bai entered the core area of ​​the laboratory, Mei Qibi Wu @ Si only glanced at Liu Bai.

Moreover, the entire laboratory had a strong smell of disinfectant and strange medicine.

Several more beds have been added to the laboratory, and you can see some purple "bloodstains" on each bed.

"What's up?"

"Come and see you."

Liu Bai glanced around and saw that not only was Klein there, but Jackal was also busy doing something at the experimental table.

"Is there anything I can help you with? Like cooking or something."

"No need, it's just some people... never mind, they're just experimental subjects anyway."

Mebius sighed.

"Is the problem serious?" Bai glanced at the marks on the bed. "Is the deterioration out of control?"

“Some people are discovered or sent to the hospital too late, which can be very troublesome in the middle and late stages. As for the early stages, they are not a problem. Our technological accumulation over the years is not a joke.”

The jackal casually replied from the side.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Cleo Hypatia, codename Jackal."

As Jackal spoke, he poured the test tube in his hand into the instrument, then turned his back to Liu Bai again.

It seems the jackal doesn't have any special feelings about itself.

However, the atmosphere here is inexplicably somewhat oppressive.

"Although I think it's a bit of a waste of resources... well, as long as the teacher is happy."

"What do you mean, 'As long as I'm happy'?" Möbius rolled his eyes at the jackal. "What, don't you and Liu Bai have anything to say to each other?"

"……nothing."

Liu Bai: "?"

What do you mean?

The jackal seems to be unaffected by the love potion, right? What are you trying to achieve by asking this?

When this was mentioned, Mebius seemed to become more interested, and the atmosphere gradually became more lively.

"Little lab rat, do you think I just randomly fed you Cleopatra?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course... at the very beginning."

Mebius smiled slightly.

"It's not my fault, she drank too much."

Mebius shrugged indifferently.

Jackal sighed beside him: "A complete miscalculation... no, it's more accurate to say that you were too radical, teacher."

If Mebius hadn't started this experiment and then put Liu Bai's photo in front of her, she probably would have calmed down... well, not really. The energy-boosting effect was indeed very easy for someone as busy as her to become dependent on.

"Then it's not?" Bai grasped the key point.

“Of course, it was just an experiment that went too far.” Möbius nodded. “Liu Bai, have you ever experienced this? Some embarrassing things from your childhood remain vividly in your mind, and you can still awkwardly recall them even after more than ten years?”

"Um...yes."

The most common example is the "chuunibyou" phase in childhood. Although most of the stupid things we do are forgotten, the impression is particularly deep when others notice our stupidity.

"Wait a minute, Doctor, you mean...?"

Liu Bai glanced at the jackal.

Mebius certainly didn't ask this question for no reason. Since he asked it about jackals, it means that the question is related to jackals.

In addition, the direction of this question is actually quite clear.

In other words, Jackal turned what happened during the Love Elixir period into an "embarrassing and stupid thing that he could remember for a long time"?

"Hmm~ Little mouse, you have a real talent for scientific research. Really, why don't you consider doing research with me?" Möbius looked approving. "That's right. Although the effects of the Love Elixir are not addictive or permanent, humans are creatures that can easily deceive themselves."

"...What kind of talent do I have?" Bai rolled his eyes, then looked at the jackal with its back to him.

"Hmm...Ms. Cleo?"

"...Is there something wrong?" Jackal turned his head slightly, revealing a somewhat flustered half of his face.

"Eh……"

Mebius's explanation was very clear, so when Gui Naifen saw this scene, she also drew out a long note.

What is this?

"Hmm... The Elixir of Love? Sara, what is that?"

Fox Palace also showed a curious expression.

Although Kujo Sara demonized Mebius's laboratory, she didn't tell her anything about the "Love Elixir".

The other unsuspecting people also showed expressions of great curiosity.

Kujo Sara and Katsura Naofumi were both taken aback.

Oh no, this is bad.

"Sara, is this the Pandora's Box you spoke of?" Katsura Naifun asked, looking at Kujo Sara.

It's already been opened! I guess I should have struck first!

"Cough, it's just a secret medicine."

Kujo Sara quickly gave a perfunctory reply—her mind was working very fast right now.

Although Lady Fox Palace has discovered the Elixir of Love, she hasn't yet connected it with "Honkai Pheromones"!

In that case, the problem isn't too big!

...Although Lord Fox Palace has a very strong ability to think divergently.

Mebius narrowed his eyes, realizing something was wrong.

It seems... now is not the time to talk about scientific research?

"That's right, it's just a secret drug. It sounds intimidating, but it's actually just an aphrodisiac."

"..."

Mebius's overly direct remarks silenced what Fox Palace wanted to say.

Hmm... it seems there's really nothing more to ask now that things have come to this?

Could it be that, having come this far, I could still ask for a tube?

Although Fox Palace thinks he can be quite shameless at times, there are so many people around... and there are people like Shadow who really take things seriously.

Have some self-respect for now.

It must be said that, as a doctor, Mebius was really good at intimidating people.

"Here you are, Doctor, Klein, as a token of my appreciation."

Liu Bai took out the dessert.

"I don't like sweets."

Mebius glanced at it and reluctantly took the box.

Klein was much more candid: "Thank you, senior guinea pig."

[Mebius's favorability rating: 6062]

[World Serpent Faction Favorability: 6062]

[Klein's Affection Level: 26]

“Dr. Cleo, you have a share too.”

"Um...that...thank you." Jackal turned to look at Liu Bai, still looking conflicted.

[Crio's Favorability: 7273]

……Grass!

This level of favorability startled Liu Bai.

However, considering that Jackal, also known as Cleo, was fed by Mebius for almost a month and was looking at Liu Bai's photos during that time, this level of favorability doesn't seem so abrupt.

The only problem is that Liu Bai has a preconceived notion that Cleo is dangerous.

"Alright, is there anything else?"

Mebius greeted Liu Bai, who had fallen silent, and Cleo responded.

"If there's nothing else, go back. There's no point in you staying here with a bunch of people."

"I'll go check on Kiana and my sister... uh, Natasha."

"You two siblings are really getting into the game," said Mehmet Bius, pursing his lips. "Go ahead and flirt."

Mebius seemed to be telling him to leave, and seeing this, Liu Bai didn't linger any longer.

"She seems like a pretty good doctor," Cocolia remarked after leaving the house. "I could sense... determination or something? Although she seems a bit frivolous... well, even aphrodisiacs can promote fertility, right?"

You know what, this thing really does promote fertility.

Those who knew the situation all looked up at the ceiling.

"Anyway, it's not an interesting topic, let's skip it." Bai said, knowing that saying more about this topic would only make things worse.

Cocolia naturally had no objection to this; after all, it was just a casual remark from the perspective of the Great Guardian.

When they arrived at the training ground, or rather, the Honkai Beast enclosure, both Grey Serpent and Natasha were there.

Below, in the open field, Kiana fought alone.

"Welcome, Mr. Liu Bai." Gray Snake's tone was devoid of emotion.

Natasha wanted to smile at Liu Bai—but after seeing so many people behind him, she didn't want to smile anymore.

“Grey Snake, you’re here too.” Bai nodded to Grey Snake, then noticed that Natasha seemed unwilling to acknowledge him.

"How's your investigation with the Herrscher going?"

"Thanks to your and Ms. Yelan's efforts, after successfully identifying those suspected Herrschers, we have successfully discovered further traces of the Herrschers. In addition, I propose that their name in the archive be named 'Dominion'."

"A very good name."

That's her original name, Liu Bai has nothing to refute.

"So, what were the results of the further investigation...?"

“…Spatial teleportation.” Gray Serpent uttered a statement that surprised everyone present, even Natasha.

"Possibly spatial movement originating from the Herrscher of the Void."

Grey Snake continued in a steady tone.

"However, the ability is very weak, and it can only be used to teleport items... To put it metaphorically, it's somewhat like it was 'stolen' from Miss Kiana."

"How did you find out?"
