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

"This is mass-produced equipment. If it weren't for Firefly—or that pilot—telling me that they are the most elite troops in their empire, I would have lost confidence."

"Isn't that what makes it challenging? Can we simplify the replication using existing materials?"

"The replica isn't the same thing. Some of the structures on it aren't supported by the strength of existing materials, and some are even similar to my old, discarded ideas. My suggestion is to study the various devices on that thing; they're very technologically advanced."

The subtle point is that Anti-Entropy can indeed create a humanoid mech the size of Sam, but the underlying technology is far inferior.

Then this underlying issue also involves the materials themselves... well, this is the biggest problem with mechs.

Alloy technology is quite difficult to master, not to mention the components of alloys that may not even exist on Earth.

Moreover, it also contains something that Tesla cannot understand.

This is the real reason why Tesla is having a headache.

Because of the vast difference in materials, studying the mecha itself might not be very fruitful. Paper is simply no match for steel reinforcement; it would be better to study the damaged weapons and equipment on the mecha to learn about the other side's use of energy.

"I see, that's much better than I expected." Einstein nodded thoughtfully. "And the energy?"

"Imaginary energy, it's still imaginary energy, even though some of its properties have changed subtly."

Upon hearing this answer, Einstein continued to nod.

Imaginary energy is not a problem; it can be used interchangeably with Honkai energy, and the two are not much different. Honkai energy is even easier to utilize due to its activity level—of course, it is also more dangerous.

"Let's discuss the details when we meet." Einstein didn't press further; there was no point in asking any more questions.

The next step is to learn through practice.

"The site over there needs to be set up as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, I understand. We need to be able to get into research mode as soon as possible, right? I'm even more anxious about this than you are." Tesla turned off the bracelet somewhat impatiently.

Then I looked up at my stylish self in the mirror.

...It was still a bit awkward.

Did I feel a bit horny yesterday? Now I've inexplicably calmed down.

—Could it be that I am feeling thirsty?

But since I've already changed my clothes and dressed up, it seems pointless to go back now, and it would be a waste of all my hard work last night.

Oh well, I might as well just go out like this.

Tesla took a deep breath and pushed the door open to get out.

"……Eh?"

Good morning, Miss Firefly.

"Eh? Dr. Tesla?"

A somewhat unsettling shock.

Tesla's lips twitched.

Is there a big difference?

"...A little?" Liu Ying pondered for a moment, then nodded cautiously.

The current Tesla doesn't even wear glasses.

Without his glasses, Tesla exuded a more assertive and youthful aura, making his presence much stronger—although Tesla has always been the kind of person with a very strong presence.

As for clothing... a white undershirt and a black inner shirt, a red plaid skirt, a black leather belt around the waist, and a white lab coat.

It gives people a sense of youthful vigor and vitality, like that of a young scientist.

Liu Ying had no doubt that Tesla was a fashionable young woman when she took off her white coat.

The change was so drastic that she almost couldn't recognize herself.

Then, not only Ryuho, but also Katsura Naifen, Kujo Sara, and others were shocked to varying degrees by Tesla's attire.

They fully understand why some women like to dress up—and the effect is truly remarkable!

"...Was my previous outfit really a bit outdated?" Tesla couldn't help but sigh. These people's expressions were really discouraging.

"Good morning, Dr. Tesla."

"Good morning... Liu Bai, you are surprisingly calm."

Tesla glanced up at Liu Bai, who had just come downstairs.

The person didn't react at all.

This is even more disappointing.

What do you think of this outfit?

Although Tesla felt that he might have suddenly become lustful last night, since he dressed up for Liu Bai in the first place, Tesla wanted to hear Liu Bai's opinion.

"It looks great. Compared to when you were wearing glasses, I can feel the strong will in your eyes more directly now, Doctor."

"Eh? Is that so?"

Tesla's favorability rating: 3335

She unexpectedly heard a comment that suited her taste perfectly.

"Yes." Bai casually took a seat, and the Herrschers served Liu Bai food and rice with great respect.

So, does that mean wearing glasses is actually not a good thing for me?

"Hmm...wearing glasses makes you look softer and more intellectual?" Bai stroked his chin.

Then, for no apparent reason, I was being stared at by a bunch of people with somewhat resentful eyes.

"..."

Why are you looking at me with such resentment when you've been wearing the same clothes for ages?

"...You're quite good at complimenting people." Tesla coughed slightly, a little embarrassed, unable to maintain his arrogance.

No wonder I suddenly had a brain fart last night.

"Alright, let's get down to business. I contacted Anti-Entropy headquarters when I woke up. The equipment will be shipped to Liyue Harbor soon, although it's fine to leave it in Liyue..."

Liu Bai nodded.

In other words, the progress here needs to be accelerated.

However, there should still be a few days left. The transportation and storage of high-end equipment will definitely require some back and forth with Liyue.

It's indeed not advisable to linger here for too long.

Judging by the time, the love potion that the jackal sent should have arrived today.

The people of Taixu... don't worry about them. As long as they leave, the others will definitely follow.

Knowing that Fu Hua, their master, was on their side, and that Su Mei and Lin Chaoyu had sided with them, and that this group of people already had their own agendas.

The so-called multiple-choice questions are not multiple-choice questions at all.

Not to mention that Liu Bai himself got along well with everyone, whether it was the Jiang sisters or Qin Suyi and her apprentice, they all treated him well.

Cheng Ling Shuang could also chat for a bit.

Ma Yanqing... well, never mind. He's a tough nut to crack, and he wasn't even considered among those who wanted to leave the mountain.

"Okay, then I'll go talk to Xiao Ai first. We'll each contribute half of the funds."

"can."

Funding was not an issue at all, so Tesla did not mention funding during the negotiations.

Forget half, they'd pay the full amount upfront, especially since building a house here is much cheaper and more secure than building one elsewhere.

Liu Bai's proposal to each contribute half is clearly a consideration for future cooperation.

"How about we hand this over to Ayaka to manage?"

Fox Palace looked at her junior and smiled at her.

"Huh? Me?" Ayaka Kamisato looked surprised. You guys were having a good conversation, how did you end up involving me?

"It's good for the kids to have some experience."

Fox Palace chuckled lightly. The siblings of the Kamisato family are both promising talents, it's a real pity that only one of them has officially entered officialdom.

"Okay." Bai agreed after a brief thought.

He roughly understood what Fox Palace was thinking.

Tesla had even less to say; she didn't care about Inazuma and his group at all—to put it bluntly, in her eyes, nine out of ten of them were illiterate…

"I...I will do my best."

With things having come to this point, Ayaka Kamisato had no choice but to accept the situation. However, she was not one to back down from trouble. After calming her initial shock, she quickly composed herself.

In the time it takes to eat a few bites of food, another major event that could clearly influence the world situation was decided.

"Oh, by the way, it seems the Sea of ​​Quanta has been a bit unstable lately. We sent people to check it out. We should keep an eye on this. We'll let you know if we make any further discoveries."

Tesla, unusually, didn't forget anything and even mentioned Einstein and something she casually remarked.

Liu Bai nodded to indicate that he understood.

After finishing breakfast, Liu Bai left the world inside the pot and returned to Fuyun Temple.

Surprisingly, both Yelan and Peruvieri were there when they went outside.

"Good morning, is there something you need?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?" Ye Lan chuckled.

Liu Bai shrugged helplessly. What kind of unreasonable rhetoric was this?

"Liu Bai, do you have any plans for today?" Ye Lan stopped teasing Liu Bai and asked.

"Let's go down the mountain and wait for the delivery." Bai stretched his limbs—their gazes were making him really uncomfortable. "Want to come along?"

"Of course, let's go!"

Chapter 225 What's past cannot be changed, but the future can still be shaped.

"Damn it... the weekend is over just like that..."

Coincidentally, Liu Bai wasn't the only one coming down the mountain with her; Li Sushang, carrying a schoolbag and wearing a school uniform, was also there.

It wasn't the kind of sturdy school uniform like a cotton-padded coat, but a more youthful and stylish sailor uniform—although wearing a sailor uniform in this weather always felt a bit inappropriate.

Still white stockings... Well, Li Sushang wearing black stockings would look a bit out of place.

"Thank you for your help, all three of you." Su Mei had probably been away for a long time, so she specially packed Li Sushang's schoolbag and escorted her to the mountain gate like she was a primary school student.

Li Sushang herself had a complicated expression, and she really didn't know whether she had been freed from the hell of exam papers or stepped into a second hell.

...No, thinking about it carefully, the tests I did these past two days were slightly above the standard for senior high school students, weren't they?

Thinking of this, Li Sushang's expression immediately brightened.

Yeah! Liberation!

"I want to go to school too! I want to go to school too!"

Shi Bao, who pretended to be an elder who came to send Li Sushang to school, immediately realized that this guy had "escaped from his misery" when he saw Li Sushang's happy expression.

He's a deserter! A traitor!

Intolerable! Absolutely intolerable!

To abandon the dignity of elders or remain trapped in the hell of exam papers...

This is a question that doesn't even need to be considered!

"I want to go to school! I want to go to school! Su Mei! I want to go to school!"

Shi Bao abandoned all dignity and started making a scene, even making a move as if he was about to roll on the ground.

“Uncle-Master, aren’t you also in school now?” Su Mei smiled. “This is considered a private school.”

—Although it's a bit too "private".

“Uncle, you only need to do ten sets of papers today. Since Su Chang isn’t here, your nephew can tutor you one-on-one.”
