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

Liu Bai suddenly realized that there seemed to be no one following the other person.

"Not to say……"

"The others went to buy food. After all, Mr. Gray Snake's smuggling arrangement was quite troublesome, and they didn't eat much along the way."

Edison smiled at Liu Bai, then looked around.

"Tesla didn't come? I thought she would be excited to laugh at me with the research results from the past two days."

"Actually, there weren't many results." Bai shrugged at Edison.

These past two days, those people have been giving him a cramming-style education.

The downside is... Liu Bai felt like his brain was about to split open.

On the positive side... the scientists' favorability towards them has increased to some extent.

Liu Bai was beginning to feel that he really was a genius.

As for what he learned... Don't be silly, Liu Bai thought for a moment, no matter what, it was not his place to participate in the research.

Those people are just looking for something to hunt.

"Is Tesla really that useless?" Edison raised an eyebrow. "By the way, has Tesla caused you any trouble?"

"No." As a polite formality, even if there were something, one should say no—especially since Tesla has been quite the intellectual and beautiful woman these past few days, except for a few occasions.

"I see." Edison seemed quite disappointed.

"Princess, your food." A blonde woman carrying a bag walked over from behind Edison.

In the bag... it looks like a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)?

"It's so slow, Leanna, and I don't like the title of princess at all."

The blonde woman, named Leanna, simply smiled calmly, handed the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) to Edison without a second thought, and then looked at Liu Bai.

"Hello, Mr. Liu Bai, I am Leiana, and I am the person in charge of Anti-Entropy's military affairs." Leiana and Liu Bai shook hands briefly.

This time, there will be other people after Leona.

The blue-haired, eccentric genius Einstein and the green-haired, steady older sister, Dr. Planck.

They are all famous figures in the history of science.

Liu Bai briefly introduced himself to the two men.

Incidentally, Einstein also had the same habit of using the third person pronoun as Bronya.

From “Bo, a mere three feet tall…” to “Bronya has grown up and will no longer refer to herself as Bronya,” all are third-person self-references.

Liu Bai first led everyone to the guesthouse of Qunyu Pavilion—it was clear that the receptionist was quite embarrassed by the group behind Liu Bai.

Hmm, looks familiar.

However, when Liu Bai was in front of her, she didn't say much and obediently registered these people.

"Quite the swagger," Einstein remarked with a detached smile after going upstairs. "Even Dr. Einstein must feel sorry for that receptionist."

"What's that saying? We're already here. Even if Ningguang knew, she couldn't do anything to you now."

Liu Bai shrugged. It was fine if he didn't come in; if he did, it would easily cause a diplomatic incident.

"Come on, let's go inside the pot and take a look at the experimental site."

…………

Inside the pot, the group showed no change in expression at the strange sights of Luofu Cave.

We showed them various locations when Tesla was selecting its site.

My only reflection is on Liu Bai's amazing teapot.

"This teapot might have even greater research value than our current project."

"But this is something that cannot be studied, Your Highness."

Einstein's comments about Edison were tinged with a hint of sarcasm in his smile.

Just by looking at the situation before it entered the pot and the situation inside the pot now, you can tell that the difficulty of analyzing this thing is completely beyond the limit.

I didn't feel any Honkai energy the moment I entered.

“I know.” Edison glanced at Einstein, too lazy to talk to him.

"These two don't get along?"

Liu Bai asked Leanna in a low voice.

It might seem like prying into someone's privacy... but it would be interesting if they started fighting amongst themselves first.

“My lady… Edison… because of her personality, Lin Qi isn’t very popular.” Anna said with a hint of apology.

n

"Not popular?"

"Then this 'princess'...?"

Leanna smiled without saying a word.

Of course it was sarcastic, because Edison was arrogant and capricious, so many people privately called her "Princess Nancy," and these close friends would occasionally use this nickname to mock Edison.

However, it cannot be said that Edison had a princess complex, after all, he was genuinely talented.

"Don't worry, they wouldn't quarrel over how to address each other. But if Edison were to meet Tesla..."

"Huh? Nancy? Why are you so late?"

Tesla's aggressive tone rang out.

"Of course it's because someone doesn't need my help," Edison retorted, raising an eyebrow.

"..."

It feels like these two might start pulling each other's hair at any moment.

Are your internal conflicts getting a bit too serious?

"Ah, don't worry, these two have been like this for fifty or sixty years, they won't fight." Einstein smiled easily and retreated to Liu Bai's side with Planck.

—Don't say you won't fight, and then give those two enough space!

"The main reason is that Edison couldn't beat Tesla. Dr. Tesla, who was always building muscle but not intelligence, was quite scary, wasn't he?"

"You stinky, messy hair! Don't think I didn't hear you! Come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

Tesla instantly reached red temperature.

"Haha, that's true. Thinking about it carefully, Tesla, you really haven't grown any intelligence at all—after all, no one in their eighties would still call a welding torch 'the sword of fire'!" Edison added without hesitation.

"Ha—! That's still much better than an arrogant and willful fellow like you! Isn't that right, Your Highness!"

"...Why do these two have such a bad relationship?"

Liu Bai had actually almost forgotten about this.

"Because of ideological differences between scientists?" Planck looked somewhat troubled. "For example, their differences regarding weaponry..."

“Of course, I would never research weapons of mass destruction to serve worldly hegemony,” Edison sneered at Tesla.

This is actually ancient history; it happened during Tesla's time, more than sixty years ago.

"How many times have I said it! The best way to stop large-scale wars is to make the costs and consequences of war unbearable for everyone! Humans have been constantly at war since primitive societies, but not everyone wants to go back to primitive societies overnight!"

"Look, this is the difference in their ideologies—it's all ancient history, but these two just love to argue about it."

Planck sighed. To be honest, she found it hard to understand why the two of them could argue about this for over sixty years.

"...Isn't she a secular tyrant?" Bai seemed to have discovered some blind spot.

“Yes,” Planck nodded.

To be honest, although their anti-entropy is weaker than destiny, it's perfectly reasonable for them to shamelessly claim to be one of the two poles of the world alongside destiny.

Don't talk like your family isn't a secular hegemon...

Well, if that's the case, Edison certainly didn't serve secular hegemony—because she herself was, and for over sixty years, Edison's General Electric and its North American branch had implicitly controlled the Americas.

“I support research into non-lethal weapons, unlike this guy,” Edison added, turning back. “With collapse looming ahead, internal strife among humanity is utterly meaningless.”

"Actually, both of them had good intentions, but their differences were quite serious. Edison focused more on protecting the innocent, while Tesla focused more on the final result... But don't worry, it's been more than 60 years, and they're just arguing."

"Hmm..." Bai didn't really know how to interject; once a discussion about war started, it could go on and on...

However, he probably understood that Edison wanted to treat the symptoms, and as long as he continued to treat the symptoms, it would be equivalent to treating the root cause.

Tesla, on the other hand, is aiming for a fundamental solution.

However, this is not a major disagreement at all; everyone's ultimate goal is still to destroy the Honkai.

"Don't worry, these are just minor details—but it's precisely because they are such insignificant details that these two have been arguing for over sixty years."

Einstein yawned. "Boring. I want to see rivers of blood."

To be honest, our ancestors knew that the best way to end war was to unify the world—not the kind of unification that we see on paper now.

Therefore, no one else was interested in the argument between the two.

"Can we throw these two people down?" Ruan Mei walked up to Liu Bai and asked in a gentle tone.

"Sincerely?"

"...No, what I mean is, could we find a way to get these two to quiet down? If they keep acting like this, it might affect our work efficiency later on."

So that last sentence was the truth, wasn't it?

Liu Bai glanced at Ruan Mei.

Under the special effect of the Light Cone, Ruan Mei would always say some very terrifying things to him with a gentle expression.

Ruan Mei's gaze remained unwavering towards Liu Bai.

Recently, she also noticed the strange thing that she needed to prepare a draft before lying to Liu Bai, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

She doesn't expect everyone to like her.

Putting everything else aside, when she saw that Miss Xueyi outside before, the way the other woman looked at her was a bit strange.

Upon inquiry, it was found to be from the Immortal Boat.

Yes, Ruan Mei completely understands. According to the classification of the Immortal Ship, she is considered a "broadly abundant person"—her hometown is a planet blessed with abundance, although she hasn't lived on that planet for very long.

However, their planet was still perfectly normal. The blessing of abundance had not caused any alienation to the planet or the life on it. Of course, she did still have a trace of abundance-related aura about her—in fact, she was not young.

She joined the club even earlier than Black Tower – she was 81, Black Tower was 83.

Moreover, since joining the club, she has spent most of her time living a reclusive life, researching the forbidden realm of life, so this unusual situation and the gaze of others have no effect on her whatsoever.

Even if the previous sentence revealed the truth, Ruan Mei could easily cover it up with her next sentence.

"Heh, as long as this guy doesn't hold me back, that's fine."

Tesla gave Nguyen Mai face—mainly because Tesla instinctively felt that Nguyen Mai was a terrifying woman.

Both Mebius and Nguyen Mai, who studied biology, seemed a bit crazy to her.

Especially when the two discussed certain topics, Tesla felt it was a good thing he didn't study biology—both of them were somewhat uninhibited.

Ah, although surprisingly, Mebius's moral standards seem to be a bit higher than Nguyen Mai's.

"Hmph." Edison snorted coldly, but did not respond.

Tesla's mechanical engineering is truly exceptional.

"By the way, I wanted to ask, what would happen if someone actually fell down?" Einstein looked at the empty space below Luofu Cave with some curiosity.

“You’ll be teleported to where you jumped down,” Tesla replied. “I’ve experimented with that chubby little bird.”

Liu Bai: "...?"

How could you treat my little Ai like this?

"Ah, don't misunderstand, she said that first, and then I just asked her to prove it." Tesla turned his head away guiltily.

"I see. So Dr. Einstein can kick Dr. Tesla off the stage without taking any responsibility, right?"

"Hey, don't say such creepy things, okay...?"
