dong dong.

Liu Bai had just taken a couple of sips when there was another knock on the door.

Who is it this time?

Firefly had already given her a small cake, not to mention Huang Quan and Kafka.

Xiao Guizi and the others had already informed them beforehand...

"Please come in, the door is unlocked."

Good evening, Liu Bai.

"Ah, Dr. Tesla." Bai looked at the newcomer with some surprise. "Is there something you need?"

"A little."

Tesla walked in carrying a bag, nodded to Liu Bai, and said, "It's about the lab arrangements."

The previous agreement stipulated that research on the Firefly Armor would be conducted within the Dust Song Pot, and Tesla has been considering various site selection issues these days.

Although Tesla may seem unreliable, it cannot be denied that his talent is among the world's best, and he is also a practitioner.

They have a lot of experience in site selection.

As for who will show her around since Liu Bai isn't here... of course it'll be Xiao Ai. That chubby little bird's privileges are really high...

Have you decided where to go yet?

"Yes, Luofu Cave."

"Eh?"

“Because that place is the most open and easiest to manage,” Tesla said matter-of-factly.

Liu Bai thought about it and realized that it made sense. Luofu Cave was not popular among the three initial landforms because it was too simple.

"And I've also finished drawing up the architectural plans."

Tesla took a stack of blueprints out of his bag.

"...You can do this too?" Bai was taken aback.

"If you live long enough, you'll know a little bit about everything. I can even hack."

Tesla pushed up his glasses with a touch of smugness.

Perhaps because they were discussing important matters, Tesla was behaving very ladylike, so much so that Liu Bai couldn't reconcile her image with the red lobster in his memory.

"Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like to change."

Tesla handed the blueprints to Liu Bai, who felt a little dizzy.

How can you judge this thing yourself?

"...Tell me about it?"

Liu Bai didn't pretend to understand and directly gestured for Tesla to explain it to him.

Tesla didn't seem surprised at all.

"Then I'll start by explaining the layout of the laboratory to you."

…………

"Cough cough... Is there any water?"

After speaking for quite a while, Tesla coughed twice.

"Yes." He served Tesla a bowl of soup for free.

Although I haven't drunk it yet, the soup is still warm because it's covered, so I can just heat it up a bit later.

"Thanks." Tesla nodded to Liu Bai. "This is the current plan. We will provide the equipment later. You only need Ms. Liu Ying's cooperation... Of course, we would be happy to accept any additional technical assistance."

Tesla remained quite humble in the face of the technology of the interstellar empire.

After saying that, Tesla picked up the bowl and took a sip.

Tesla's favorability rating: 3343 (Love Elixir)

Liu Bai: "?"

Wait a minute, what is that?

"Wow, this soup is really delicious," Tesla exclaimed. "Although I don't like sweet flavors, this taste is definitely the work of a master."

“…Um, Doctor, you go first—”

Tesla's favorability rating: 4350 (Love Elixir)

Before Liu Bai could finish speaking, Tesla took another sip.

Liu Bai understood, he completely understood. No wonder this thing restored energy so quickly, and no wonder the soup was sweet.

So, Huang Quan added the elixir of love to it, didn't he?!

Bad thing.

The idea of ​​adding "computer parts" used to be a joke, but now they've actually done it, haven't they?!

...While drinking this might not be a bad idea if the goal is to restore energy.

"Gulu——"

Tesla's favorability rating: 5060 (Love Elixir)

What do you want to say?

Tesla put down his empty bowl and looked at Liu Bai with a puzzled expression.

"...How are you feeling right now?"

Looking at Tesla, which seemed perfectly normal, Liu Bai asked with some hesitation.

No, what is he hesitating about?

It's not like he can't beat Tesla. He's just a PhD, and even a pragmatic PhD like him could definitely hold him off.

"Feeling?" Tesla scratched his head, completely clueless about what Liu Bai was talking about.

(Hmm... looking at it this way, this kid is actually quite handsome.)

Tesla looked at Liu Bai's face, and a jumble of thoughts arose in his mind.

Although it's not surprising that Liu Bai is good-looking, she inexplicably felt a little flutter in her heart this time.

Previously, I simply appreciated it.

No, no, no, that must be an illusion, right?

So... how does it feel?

Tesla's mind began to wander.

(Is this a declaration of love? Late at night, a lone man and a lone woman...)

It seems like all that's missing is complete darkness.

"What exactly does this feeling refer to...?"

Tesla blushed, tilted her head slightly, and her long-dormant girlish heart seemed to re-emerge at this moment.

"...Don't you need to go to the toilet?"

"Eh?"

Tesla was taken aback by Liu Bai's words, and the flames that were about to surge within his body immediately subsided.

Do you need to go to the toilet?

This question is too...

"Temporarily, that's not the meaning."

Tesla shook his head shyly.

"Mr. Liu Bai, is there anything you still don't understand? I can continue to explain it to you."

Ah...familiar honorifics, starting to give me a headache.

“I understand everything now, so I won’t trouble you any further, Doctor.” Bai immediately declined. “I’ve been inspecting the site these past few days, so you must be tired. Go back and rest first.”

"Is this so..."

Tesla looked slightly disappointed, but still did not refute Liu Bai's words.

"Alright, goodnight, Mr. Liu Bai."

Liu Bai's expression was resolute, and Tesla could only pick up his briefcase with some disappointment, put the blueprints away, and then leave.

"Boss~" Tesla had just left when Xiao Guizi came again.

Liu Bai instinctively protected the casserole dish on his table.

Gui Naifen: "￣へ￣"

"I'm not going to steal your food, is it really necessary?"

…………

"..."

Tesla's room.

Tesla had no objections to staying in a room that was treated the same as everyone else's, as the layout was already quite high-end.

But... I can't sleep.

"...Liu Bai."

Tesla muttered to himself as he turned off the lights.

She had to admit that she was starting to feel romantic—although she felt it was a bit disgusting to talk about "romantic feelings" at her age.

Ughhhhh! But I can't sleep!

Can Liu Bai accept a woman in her seventies?

Although I still look like I'm in my early twenties.

Tesla suddenly sat up, threw off the covers, opened his suitcase, and threw all his change of clothes on the floor.

Then, Tesla looked in the mirror and, seeing his carefree self, pulled out photos of himself traveling with Einstein when he was young.

...I look like a young person in the photo.

"He even forgot to take off his hair tie..."

Tesla belatedly took off the hair ties from his pigtails, letting his red hair fall loose.

How did he dress when he was young? Tesla smoothed his long hair.

She hadn't dressed up properly in a long time; she used to be a fashionable woman when she was young—although she was always broke.

"I didn't bring any cosmetics..."

Tesla looked at his face wash and scratched his head.

One reason she doesn't dress up much is because of work.

Previously in Destiny, Otto treated them as "honored guests," rarely assigning them work, and when he did, it wasn't practical work.

So, outside of her regular studies and training, she has plenty of time to put on makeup, dress up, make some quirky inventions, or even travel.

However, after joining Anti-Entropy, she needed to go to the site to do many things on-site.

A face covered in a mixture of makeup and oil is not a pleasant memory.

Tesla thought for a moment, then walked out the door to Kaffa's door and knocked gently.

Squeak...

"Dr. Tesla? Is something the matter?" Kafka's face lit up with an impeccable smile when she saw the person who had arrived.

"...Ms. Kaffa, may I borrow your cosmetics?"

Tesla was in a bit of a predicament, but Kafka was the only person she knew who would have cosmetics.
