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

Edison was a bit troubled; she seriously suspected that Otto had some kind of technological cheat code.

...Although this is entirely a matter of cultural foundation.

They only have one relic, while Destiny has a whole bunch.

"So the Moonlight Throne Project is already half bankrupt. There's no point in keeping that reactor. Why not start it up and use it as bait to artificially cause a rampage? In terms of pure energy, it will definitely surpass that world bubble."

"...That's true."

When Liu Bai heard the word "ruins," he still wanted to complain that people from the previous civilization had already transformed into modern civilizations, so where did the ruins come from?

But then he remembered what Natasha had said before, that the Divine Key was a reward for clearing the labyrinth... Liu Bai had a lot to say about this world.

It was not only casual, but it was also so casually obtained by an "NPC".

"It seems Mr. Liu Bai has other ideas?"

Planck keenly sensed the odd tone in Liu Bai's voice and asked with a smile.

"Um... I think your idea is actually quite good."

Liu Bai's tone was slightly embarrassed.

Edison's proposal was so serious that it made Liu Bai reflect on his own actions.

Compared to these people's reasonable suggestions... my own idea seemed like I'd lost my mind.

"Oh... now that you mention it, I'm even more curious."

Einstein lay lazily on the bed, giving Liu Bai a teasing smile.

"How about we talk about it? As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. Dr. Tesla, you must be quite interested too, right?"

"Huh? Uh! Ah! Yes!"

Tesla, sitting upright, seemed to be daydreaming; his answer clearly showed he hadn't heard Einstein's question clearly.

“I’m very interested too.” Edison nodded. “Mr. Liu Bai, your idea might also be our inspiration.”

"Hmm... then I'll tell you."

Liu Bai looked embarrassed.

"My thought is... the Yellow Springs."

"Huh? The Underworld?" Estella asked, puzzled. "Didn't we already say that yesterday..."

"No, I mean to use Huang Quan as bait."

Liu Bai felt that his current suggestion was like adding a dog's tail to a sable coat.

"Look, Huang Quan is incredibly powerful and can even conceal his aura... He could totally be used as 'bait,' right?"

"..." All the respectable people present fell silent—though there weren't many respectable people there.

"Oh, Dr. Einstein, I understand now." Einstein, with a suppressed laugh, thought, "Mr. Liu, are you trying to say that we should have whales pretend to be dead to catch tuna?"

"...But it's surprisingly feasible."

Military expert Leiana also had a strange expression.

This plan is really good.

It is simple, direct, has low harm, requires little investment, and is highly feasible.

It combines all the positive advantages of a plan.

It's just that their thought process is unlike that of a normal person.

“…These behemoths can’t be that stupid.” Estella gave him a look that said, “You’ve got a wild imagination.” “This method… um…”

Okay, Huang Quan pretended to be dead by holding his breath and then dissipating the Honkai energy around him. It seems that he could actually fool this behemoth.

Some traps are designed to prey on those with brains.

After all, no creature with a brain would ever imagine that someone with such overwhelming strength would not simply come to their door, but instead feign death to deceive the beasts.

More importantly, even if the plan fails, there will be no loss.

...The price-performance ratio is surprisingly high.

"...I actually think Mr. Liu Bai's plan is more ingenious."

Planck rubbed his forehead.

As a teacher with nearly seventy years of experience and now ninety-six years old, she keenly sensed the unruly nature of Liu Bai.

"Hey~ Dr. Einstein also finds it very interesting." Einstein was as comfortable as if he were at home, his slender legs crossed and bobbing up and down.

“...It seems so.” Estella had an expression that suggested she was unwilling to admit it, but had to.

She genuinely liked Edison's seemingly serious plan—at least it meant that Edison and his team were normal people.

—Although Estelle thinks that no one dressed as a maid these days is normal.

"At present, these two methods are not contradictory... perhaps we can use both at the same time," Edison said hesitantly.

Being outmaneuvered by this strategy is a bit unpleasant.

"can."

Liu Bai quickly stopped talking—he knew that if he said this, he would be met with strange looks.

"Ahem, let's leave that topic aside for now, next item, next item!"

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Dr. Einstein, don't you have anything to do over there?"

After finishing his official business, Liu Bai's eyes involuntarily fell on Einstein's swinging feet.

...I really want to catch it.

"Everything's fine right now. On the contrary, Dr. Ruan Mei and her team are quite busy."

Einstein very generously shared a chocolate ball with Liu Bai.

As I mentioned last time, they finished working on the mecha and currently have no other work to do.

Meanwhile, Ruan Mei and Mebius had been studying Chi You and Mebius's "evolutionary plan".

"It seems like we've reached a rather crucial moment. When they came in this morning, I noticed they looked a little flushed."

"I think the reason those two people got so worked up might not be because of the experiment..." Bai Shaojian gave a wry smile.

Nguyen Mai and Mebius are actually in a rather precarious situation right now.

Although they signed up to be maids, the two of them voluntarily postponed their schedules due to work reasons—there seemed to be no problem with that.

But, but... in a day or two, Liu Bai will be going to Inazuma!

They can't possibly move the lab along with it!

Yes, because of this, Nguyen Mai and Mebius are now in a very bad situation.

Yesterday, when Liu Bai went out and saw Ruan Mei and Mebius resting, he was afraid that the two of them would drag him into the bushes.

Fortunately, both of them have a strong sense of responsibility and did not let personal matters interfere with public duties—but that makes it even more terrifying!

The longer you suppress it, the more terrifying it will be when it explodes!

"I think you're getting a bit hot-tempered too," Einstein teased in his signature silent manner, having noticed something amiss.

"Call me again and I'll make you angry too."

Einstein in his "three-no" state (no words, no thoughts, no opinions) is surprisingly both endearing and cheeky.

"What is this, a criminal declaration? Dr. Tesla, save me!"

"Eh...what? Who...what happened?"

(…Has this kid been daydreaming all day?) Planck gave Edison a look.

(Who knows what illness she has?)

Edison tilted his head back, too lazy to bother with Tesla.

"...Dr. Tesla, you're daydreaming, aren't you?" Bai stroked his chin.

While it's true that you maids are meant to be pleasing to the eye, isn't it a bit too much to be slacking off so openly?

Even Einstein knows to chat with me.

"No, no, that's not true!" Tesla waved his hands repeatedly. "Of course I'm listening very carefully!"

Tesla's arrogance kicked in, forcibly presenting itself as right even when it was in the wrong.

"...Do you know who Dr. Einstein just asked you to save?"

As Tesla drove arrogantly, Liu Bai seemed to be teasing it.

Who can resist playing with a classic tsundere?

"Huh? Who..."

Tesla's expression changed slightly.

She was so busy picking at the unidentified hard lump on the bed sheet and admiring Liu Bai's stunning good looks that she was too busy to do it properly.

say?

Uh... I didn't hear that.

Or, to put it another way, it goes in one ear and out the other.

I have absolutely no recollection of Tesla.

"Does Dr. Tesla not know this?" Edison promptly added insult to injury.

Tesla stalled again.

We can't lose to Edison!

(Share this! My genius brain! Share it now!)

—It's not working! It won't turn!

Tesla looked at Einstein, who seemed to be pleading for help, as if looking for the source of the sound.

—Although Tesla and Einstein bicker all the time, it doesn't stop them from being true best friends. They even lived together in the same lab.

Einstein glanced at Tesla with an expression that suggested he was amused.

The next instant, Einstein suddenly smiled and began mouthing words to Tesla.

"Um...it means I...q...am to save..."

Tesla's lip movements were clumsy and hesitant.

"Mr. Liu Bai, you... inflated... you bastard—!"

Tesla was no fool after all. The moment he uttered a certain word, Tesla realized what he had done, his face turning red. He grabbed a pillow from the side and threw it at Einstein.

"...Liesel actually made a lewd joke."

Planck looked heartbroken.

"Shouldn't older sisters be the ones telling these kinds of jokes?"

Edison: A Group of Gods

"I never expected that Tesla, who looks so serious, would have such filthy thoughts in his head."

Having just finished criticizing his own people in his mind, Edison promptly kicked Tesla while he was down.

"you you you you you……"

Tesla suddenly faced unprecedented workplace bullying.

"Liu Bai, say something!"

Left with no other choice, Tesla had to turn to Liu Bai, who was watching from the sidelines.

—Clearly, Tesla was unaware that Liu Bai had been teasing her all along.

This made Liu Bai feel slightly guilty when faced with Tesla's plea for help.

"Well……"
