Even though she was bound, she still tried to cover up her shyness with her usual witty remarks, but the tips of her blushing ears had already betrayed her panic at this moment.
Cangxuan was so shocked he almost dropped his pudding. Danzhu commented with an air of authority: "A very magical prop, tied with a great sense of artistry."
Gretchen gazed at the bound Alicia: "Little Alicia, you look beautiful right now. I could paint a picture of you."
"Waaaaah~ This won't do!"
Alicia panicked for once, her pink hair swaying gently as she shook her head. "This kind of scene can't be captured on the canvas, Gretsch, close your eyes!"
Gretchen tilted her head, her innocent eyes filled with confusion: "Why? Alicia is so pretty, the composition and lighting are perfect..."
Alicia's cheeks flushed crimson. Even someone as composed as her couldn't help but feel a pang of shame when faced with Gretsch's pure and unadulterated gaze.
Click, click——
Luo Zhen was already taking pictures, capturing Alicia's pose from various angles. Every wrap of the art rope was just right, and with the change of angle, it presented completely different aesthetic effects of light and shadow under the lights.
"No photos allowed!"
Alicia's voice was filled with embarrassment and annoyance, "I'm going to get angry!"
Luo Zhen, however, became even more enthusiastic in taking pictures. Mebius was happy to see Alicia suffer a setback, and at the same time, he was also very interested in the rope.
She was certain that Luo Zhen didn't have any ropes on him, and that no ordinary rope could have transformed such an outstanding warrior into this state.
She murmured to herself, "Looks like I've struck gold."
She was very grateful that she had found Luo Zhen and that she had not given up on observing him because of his previous mediocrity.
Scientific research truly requires this kind of patience to succeed.
When Luo Zhen picked up Alicia and placed her on the operating table, the request was marked as complete.
[You have received 500 commission crystals; currently drawing physical skills.]
[You have obtained a beautiful woman~ {Lingli; Siluba 2 Dad Handsome Boy}]
【Beautiful Young Man: A handsome young man who can attract others, regardless of whether the object is male or female】
I hope I won't get God's Blessing again.
The last Conqueror who possessed this skill, due to the effect of [God's Blessing], used Zeus's Thunder to enhance his divinity, causing the handsome young man's level to drop, ultimately turning him into that overly rugged appearance.
As Luo Zhen was thinking this, he received the skill. Alice on the experimental table let out a soft exclamation. She found that although Luo Zhen's facial features had not changed at all, he was even more handsome and charming, making it hard to look away. Even her anger subsided a lot.
Such a nasty guy, how could he possibly become handsome!
Mebius said to Luo Zhen again, "Luo Zhen, I hope you will also go to the experimental table."
This time, Mebius did not trigger the request. Luo Zhen stared at him thoughtfully, sensing that Mebius had already noticed something and was making an attempt.
How perceptive! No wonder she was conscious before birth, learned language, and was born able to converse with people—a genius! (Part 4)
no response.
Möbius fell into thought again. The sentence structure was fine; was it something else?
She didn't forget to remind Luo Zhen, "What about the gift you mentioned, the one that's beyond imagination?"
Luo Zhen said, "You need to give me a blood-drawing syringe first. It needs to be made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, and be the normal size."
Volume 1: 007 - Raiden Mei: Please Guide Me
Luo Zhen wanted a corrosion-resistant blood-drawing syringe, not for his own use, but to draw blood from Toyokawa Shoko for Möbius's research.
Mebius should be able to develop a medicine to inhibit the erosion of dragon's blood.
Although Toyokawa Shoko did not issue any requests, Rōzō did not simply use her as a tool to generate requests. Moreover, once he obtained the inhibitor, he would find a way to induce her to issue requests.
Incidentally, her blood could be used to satisfy Mebius's research desires; she was certainly interested in this kind of dragon blood from another world.
This is a win-win-win situation, and everyone has a bright future.
After learning the blood-drawing technique from Mebius, Luo Zhen arrived at the brothel, where Toyokawa Shoko was already there in her maid form, standing at the front desk.
She wasn't wearing the traditional long maid outfit that covered her ankles, nor was she wearing the super short maid outfit meant to make you shiver.
It's closer to the kind of outfit that's perfect for a maid shop, without any extras, allowing for easy movement, with minimal nudity, but still very attractive.
"Here, let me draw your blood."
Luo Zhen held down the maid Xiao Xiang and casually asked, "Since the Toyokawa family has such a history, they should also have something like inhibitors, right?"
"some."
The maid, Xiaoxiang, took out several syringes. "They're not very effective. They'll lose their power after a certain point. Otherwise, the heads of the Toyokawa family wouldn't have died so young."
She also produced some information related to dragons, which confirmed Luo Zhen's conjecture. Sure enough, the extraordinary beings in this world originated from dragons.
In ancient times, dragons, who held various powers, ruled the world. Humans sacrificed young girls to dragons to give birth to offspring with dragon blood.
The so-called divine blood is the blood of the White King, but the concentration is so high that the body cannot withstand it.
"This is the wisdom of mortals."
After collecting the blood, Luo Zhen took two vials of inhibitors and gave them to Mebius.
"Dragon blood from another world? Mere contact with it can erode the genes of living beings and grant them power beyond Honkai energy."
After hearing Luo Zhen's description, Mebius's eyes lit up. Compared to the dragon blood in his hand, Mebius preferred Luo Zhen himself.
"Can I really not ask you to let me collect blood?"
Luo Zhen could tell that Mebius was testing the commission system, but the commission panel was still unresponsive.
"No."
Luo Zhen pressed (one ") Lin 〢] Ying〃#7 like Wu Jiu? like Ba Yueyi & held onto the head that Mebius was leaning over, "I hope you can develop an inhibitor to suppress the erosion of the dragon blood on the human body."
Of course, research on Honkai shouldn't be abandoned either. Even if you fully analyze this power, you still can't fight against Honkai; Honkai has a much higher ceiling.
"It sounds like you have a deep understanding of Honkai energy."
Mebius grew increasingly curious. Just then, a hint came to Luo Zhen's ear:
A new guest has entered the chalet.
Luo Zhen opened the door in front of Mebius and entered the quest hut, leaving Mebius feeling like he was being scratched by a cat, wishing he could grab him and refine him instantly to analyze all the suspicious points.
Upon entering the clerk, Luo Zhen noticed a young woman with waist-length purple hair. Her black sailor uniform accentuated her curvaceous figure, especially her impressive bust, which was faintly visible at the neckline.
The absolute territory exposed between the over-the-knee stockings and the hem of the skirt gleamed like pearls under the light.
After Luo Zhen walked in, Raiden Mei turned around. She was certain that she had observed the area before coming in and there was no door there.
Recalling the information directly implanted into her mind, Raiden Mei's eyes shone even brighter, almost sparkling with electricity.
Could this be the day my fate takes a turn?
Looking back on her recent experience, her father was imprisoned for embezzlement, and she went from being a privileged girl to being the daughter of an embezzler who was bullied by the entire school.
Those who once gathered around her have either become indifferent or bitter and sarcastic.
Bullying behavior often occurs, such as someone scratching the desk with a pen or pouring water on the chair.
During breaks, people would often loudly discuss her being the daughter of a corrupt official, but during physical education classes, when it came to sports like badminton that required teamwork, no one wanted to team up with her. They were very indifferent, as if they didn't even see her.
Enduring such bullying, Raiden Mei almost thought she couldn't take it anymore.
And now, the dawn has arrived!
An ancient Chinese proverb came to mind:
When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a person, it will first test their will, strain their muscles and bones, starve their body, and thwart their endeavors...
She endured so much hardship, perhaps all for this day!
Raiden Mei suddenly bent over and shouted:
"Manager, please guide me!"
?
Luo Zhen recognized Raiden Mei and knew that she was a hidden chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), but even he didn't know what was wrong with Raiden Mei.
This is probably what chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is all about—being good at imagining things, though I don't even know what those imaginings are.
He simply smiled faintly: "Mei, it seems you've been having a tough time lately."
Raiden Mei's eyes immediately welled up with tears. The scenes that chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers often fantasize about are fighting monsters in the dark, silently enduring being misunderstood by the world, dying heroically, and clearing their names of injustice.
"Manager, just as Ms. Toyokawa said, you know everything."
She was almost bursting into tears, "Ever since my father went to prison, I..."
Her voice choked with emotion; she had been silently enduring bullying at school, but now she couldn't hold back anymore.
The maid, Xiaoxiang, thoughtfully handed her a tissue, and Luo Zhen said:
"I'm not some kind of all-knowing, all-powerful person. I only know what I need to know. As far as I know, there's something hidden behind your father's imprisonment."
Raiden Mei's eyes immediately sharpened: "Were you framed, or is there some unavoidable reason?"
She had already imagined enough melodramatic plots to make hundreds of episodes of a TV series.
"Do you know what the real business of ME Company, which your father leads, is?"
Raiden Mei asked in confusion, "All I know are weapons and communication equipment."
Luo Zhen explained, "Actually, ME Corporation is an organization that saves the world and fights against the Honkai. It is one of the agencies under Anti-Entropy. Your father is the executive officer of Anti-Entropy."
The purple-haired girl's eyes lit up: "Save the world!"
"All you need to know about 'Honkai' is that it's a disaster powerful enough to destroy the world."
Luo Zhen succinctly stated, "And you are a natural bearer of the Stigmata. In order to suppress the Stigmata, your father implanted the core of the Herrscher of Thunder into your body."
"After you came of age, he worried that you would lose control because of the Herrscher Core, so he spent billions of dollars to develop the weapon Plasma Shadow Show. If you lose control one day, he will use that knife to pull you back."
Raiden Mei was deeply moved. Although she didn't understand much about the concepts of Herrschers and Stigmata, she realized that she possessed a powerful hidden force, and that Raiden Ryoma had been imprisoned because of her.
