"Hua, do you really not want to stay?" Time passed quickly, and Hua's training trip in Fire Moth was coming to an end soon.
In response, Mobius was very "kind" and wanted to keep Hua by her side.
"Even if you don't meet the standards of the weapons department, you can come to my lab as an assistant. Anyway, I don't have too many."
Are you trying to keep me here?
Or do you just want to keep Master Tian here?
"Sorry, Dr. Mobius. I still think the front line is more suitable for me. During this month at headquarters, I have understood the huge difference between you and me... I suppose one more or one less here at headquarters isn't too much."
Hua refused Mobius's request to stay.
Although there was indeed some selfish motive in this refusal, objectively speaking, her role on the battlefield was indeed greater than her role in the rear.
Although it's a bit disrespectful to say this, in Hua's opinion, Master Tian's ability is roughly equivalent to that of a senior scientist in Fire Moth, but he is still far from top scientists like Einstein or Mobius.
As an organization that can coordinate the essence of the entire civilization, a simple scientist like her is not difficult to find.
However, on the battlefield, even without Master Tian's help, her combat effectiveness is still at the top level. With Master Tian's help, she can even delay some high-level Honkai beasts.
At this time, this is a strategic-level ability.
"Besides, I really don't want to have a conflict with you, Dr. Mobius."
Hua's last sentence left Mobius silent for a moment, and then she curled her lips, "It's really not pleasant to hear that... although it's the truth."
These days, Mobius and Hua get along quite well and have a very good relationship.
They even have a lot in common thanks to Tian Shi. But they both knew that the current harmony was nothing more than a false peace. Although Hua respected Mobius's feelings, Mobius was also grateful for Hua's help.
But after all, the biggest contradiction between the two couldn't be hidden: Tian Shi.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't make me look like the root of all evil."
"Isn't it?" Mobius glared at Tian Shi resentfully, "Isn't this the second time you've played with my feelings and then abandoned me?"
"You make me sound like a scumbag."
"Isn't it true? And this might be the umpteenth time you've played with a girl's feelings. Could it be that Mr. Ghost is the kind of pervert who enjoys watching little girls cry in front of him and finds it amusing?"
"According to what you said, even if I go to the eighteen levels of hell, it won't be enough to atone for my sins." Tian Shi complained.
"Besides... I don't think many people cried."
Tian Shi carefully recalled that with Aponia, he left so suddenly at that time that he didn't see the expression on her face. Mobius... Well, needless to say about this one.
If she hadn't been drunk, this girl would have burst into tears.
Afterward, Einstein and Tesla... these two actually had the calmest reactions. T
hey only asked Tian Shi when he would return, and after getting the results, they calmly said goodbye. They were so rational that even Tian Shi was a little scared.
"In other words, you really did play with a girl's feelings, right?" The resentment on Mobius's face turned into a sneer. "Playing with that sustainability is going too far."
"Forget it." Mobius sighed. "Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. Who told me to..."
"Don't bother Dr. Mobius. If you find her troublesome, Master Tian can take care of me," Hua said softly.
"Hua, are you going to provoke me again before you leave?" The corner of Mobius's mouth twitched.
"No, that's not the case," Hua shook her head; her honest appearance made Mobius look a little better, but the next moment, Hua's words annoyed Mobius, "I'm just stating the facts."
Hua... You really want to fight me with your thick eyebrows and big eyes!
Could it be that a Shura Field will suddenly appear on the last day?
"Well, Dr. Mobius, consider this a farewell gift. Goodbye." Hua stuffed the faceless Soul Steel puppet into Mobius's hand and turned around before Mobius could react.
"What the hell does that brat mean?" Mobius looked at the Soul Steel that had lost its soul and turned into an ordinary puppet in her hand, and looked at Hua's back with a puzzled look.
Although Hua's last sentence made her quite angry, this gift... was really what she wanted.
At least she will be able to remember him by looking at the object in the future, which is much better than the photo she can't even see.
"This doll is too small. Should I ask Einstein to make me a life-size one? But it's meaningless if Tian Shi doesn't possess it... Seriously..." But then again, why does Hua unexpectedly have the temperament of a "mature woman"?
Hateful!
I'm unwilling!
"Hua, that feeling is coming." On the flight back, Tian Shi suddenly spoke; that familiar "feeling of ending" had arrived. "It's about time; sorry, I have to leave for a while."
"Has this day finally come?" Since Tian Shi had said something similar a long time ago, Hua was mentally prepared and was only slightly depressed, but overall quite calm.
"Then, Master Tian, before you leave, can you give your disciple some advice?"
Advice? Tian Shi looked at Hua in front of him.
Since she realized the reality and crisis of the world earlier, Hua, who had matured ahead of time, had lost her previous childishness and even had a third of the composure of the future Fu Hua.
Apart from being strict with herself, which isn't really a flaw, Hua has no other flaws. Only then did Tian Shi realize that Hua actually no longer needed him to teach her anything.
Tian Shi rubbed his hair emotionally.
"If I have to say it... Hua, congratulations, you've graduated."
Hua's eyes suddenly widened. Graduated?
"I have nothing to teach you. You are an excellent... no, the best student in the world and my proudest disciple."
"Yes." Hua lowered her head and tried her best to hide her expression, which seemed to indicate that she wanted to cry. She thought she was mentally prepared and wouldn't cry at this time, and that she would be able to face this matter with her strongest face. I can't let Master Tian worry.
"In other words, I didn't disappoint you, Master Tian... right?"
[End of simulation, Fu Hua Growth has been cleared, Fu Hua Compatibility +50%]
[Final simulation evaluation: S (A teacher imparts knowledge and resolves doubts)]
[Final Compatibility: 255%]
Hua became the host whose compatibility was second only to Mobius.
[You gain 3 skill points]
[You can choose one of the following skills to obtain]
[1. Martial Arts Talent lv10 (once in a thousand years, martial arts genius, although for Hua, what she truly relies on is still her own efforts)]
[2. Inch Heart Fist Technique lv7 ((Cunjin·Open Skull!)]
[3. Combat Intuition lv6 (A soldier with a hundred battles)]
Is there a need to choose?
Of course, the choice is the Martial Arts Talent skill.
After having tasted the talent for research, Tian Shi has no ability to resist the martial arts talent of the same level ten.
As for the remaining three skill points, Tian Shi allocated them to the three Guardian Angel, Troublemaker, and Persuasion skills in a 1:1:1 ratio.
Needless to say, Guardian Angel and Troublemaker are simply the foundation of his survival, while persuasion is to facilitate better communication between him and the host... It's definitely not because he has a sense of crisis due to the matters of Hua and Mobius!
In this case, Tian Shi's skills become Troublemaker level 7, Guardian Angel level 6, and Persuasion level 3.
Tian Shi really didn't want to add points to other skills, even special scientific research skills like Human Body Modification (Soul Steel)—why waste skill points when you can learn it yourself?
The additional skills learned in this simulation are Inch Heart Fist Level 3 and Armed Doll Recognition Level 10.
[S evaluation detected, the final result of the simulation has been uploaded]
[Current Host: Rita Rossweisse (Compatibility: 11%, current host), Aponia (Compatibility: 120%, abnormal state, cannot be selected), Mobius (Compatibility: 262%, abnormal state, cannot be selected), Einstein (Compatibility: 210%, normal state), Tesla (Compatibility: 241%, normal state), Fu Hua (Compatibility: 255%, abnormal state, can be selected)]
[Host has completed the following sections: Dusk Street·Aponia, Mobius·Childhood, Fu Hua·Growth]
[A large-scale special simulation has been located: Flame-Chasers·The End of Civilization (cannot be simulated if the unlock requirement is not met)]
Large-scale special simulation?
When Tian Shi saw the news, he was a little stunned.
What the hell is this? As if aware of Tian Shi's thoughts, the next moment, a more detailed explanation appeared in Tian Shi's mind.
[Large-scale special simulation: Positioning can be performed after a certain previous simulation, unlock information and conditions can be confirmed after positioning, and a specific simulation of the unlock conditions can be performed]
[Note: Specific simulations cannot be entered using normal simulations; only specific simulations can be used to enter]
[Simulation accumulation is now open! From now on, unused daily simulations or bonus simulations can be accumulated up to one-tenth of the specific simulation value. Once the accumulation is completed, the specific simulation can be initiated.]
[After a specific simulation fails, you can re-enter using a normal simulation]
A new type of simulation. It seems that it was because I simulated three Flame-Chasers that I was able to locate this copy of [Flame-Chasers·The End of Civilization].
This simulation looks like the end of the pre-civilization...
But what are the unlock conditions? Tian Shi feels a natural curiosity about this "unlocked" discovery.
[Large-scale special simulation, "Heroic Civilization" is unlocked at the end. Conditions: At least six of the following simulation sections must be completed, and the current progress is 3/6. If you exceed the target, you will receive special rewards in the large-scale simulation according to the additional number of completed items.]
[1. Mei and Kevin-Forward]
[2. Elysia's Game]
[3. Dusk Street: Aponia (completed)]
[4. Eden's Song]
[5. Vill-V-Contradiction]
[6. Dusk Street: Thousand Tribulations]
[7. Su: Rescue]
[8. SAKURA and RIN]
[9. Kosma: Maturity]
[10. Mobius·Childhood (completed)]
[11. Griseo Immaculate]
[12. Hua·Growth (completed)]
[13. Dusk Street·Pardofelis]
The simulation of the thirteen Flame-Chasers appeared before Tian Shi.
"This is really a deadly mission..." If he finishes them one by one, he really doesn't know how long it will take. But fortunately, he only needs to complete 6 items, and he has already completed half.
"But then again, my simulation... It's said to be a Guardian Angel, but in reality, it's more like a nanny, right?"
Tian Shi finally realized that the system, the card game, and the substitute were all fake...
However, if you want to perform a specific simulation of the Flame-Chasers, it will take ten days, and you can do it randomly once a day... It seems that the probability of randomly selecting the target simulation is not low?
Well, it's just a feeling; he can't say exactly how it will be. However, something that can be specified is definitely better than randomness
—Tian Shi, who has played countless Gacha games, feels this from the bottom of his heart.
Tian Shi let out a long sigh. If nothing unexpected happens, his next simulation will probably be in ten days... To be honest, doing simulations for three consecutive days was a huge mental strain for Tian Shi.
After all, this is not a visual novel where you simply read the text; you really have to practice it yourself.
Aponia took a few months, Mobius took eighteen years, Einstein and Tesla took three years, and Hua took just over a year.
Tian Shi felt that he was too mentally exhausted to be able to recover immediately and brag and chat with Rita... So, the appearance of this special simulation was like a break for his mind. After all, in normal times, not using the daily simulation is like losing a million.
Now he should go find Einstein and the others. It's a good opportunity to learn about the changes in history under the wings of his butterfly.
Although no matter how you look at it, what Tian Shi did back then cannot be summarized with the phrase "butterfly wings." Rather, Tian Shi was simply a hurricane.
So Tian Shi opened the system and immediately selected Einstein from the hosts for transfer.
The next moment, the scene in front of Tian Shi's eyes changed, and he was instantly transferred to a communication room full of technological atmosphere.
"Dr. Tesla, haven't you found any clues about Kiana yet?" The blue-haired girl with messy hair urged the red-haired girl with two ponytails on the screen indifferently.
"Don't rush me! Who knows where that kid is hiding? It's all the fault of that bastard maid Rita! And that damn Schicksal!" Tesla is still very irritable.
It's a nostalgic scene indeed.
