[According to the system's calculation of your consciousness load, the next optimal simulation time is 3 days later.]
"It actually takes three days to recover?"
After Chen Ran finished the simulation, he muttered to himself, "Is it because of excessive consumption?"
Consciousness carrying capacity is the basis for him to conduct simulations. Before, after he finished the simulation, he only needed 6 hours for the next simulation.
This time it takes 3 days, obviously because of excessive consumption of consciousness.
"So, that shouldn't have been a hallucination."
He recalled the moment he ended the simulation, in the gap where time and space stopped, his embrace with Wendy.
"Was she still found in the end?"
Although he didn't know what price Wendy paid, it's highly likely that the future he experienced is about to become chaotic.
He suppressed his thoughts and then synchronized the memories of No. 666.
Then, Chen Ran discovered that this No. 666 proxy was simply amazing.
While he was simulating, No. 666, who was managing his body, stayed at the First Research Institute.
This time, No. 666 did not become Mobius's 'bed experiment assistant' like Chen Ran, but persuaded Mobius to study the corpse of the Fourth Herrscher together.
Then, he borrowed Bia from MEI and used Bia's powerful computing power to successfully calculate the balance data of human body carrying 'anti-Honkai memory' and real consciousness.
In other words, No. 666 has completed all the preliminary work of Stigmata in reality.
Under such circumstances, even Mobius could not make him a lab rat on the experimental table as before.
Genius deserves respect.
This is also Mobius's bottom line.
Of course, if it were only this, Chen Ran wouldn't say it was amazing.
Simply put, No. 666 could do what he could do, because the proxy's thinking logic and memory ability came from him.
But the key is that 1%.
That is, the part that does not overlap with the proxy.
In addition to using Bia for simulation, No. 666 also tried to connect its brain with Bia. In short, it hoped to synchronize knowledge with Bia.
It hoped to know what Durandal knew, making Durandal its learning machine.
The most amazing thing is that No. 666 succeeded.
But not through brain-computer interface. Even in this era, brain-computer interfaces are risky, not to mention that No. 666 synchronized memories with him, so it naturally knew the existence of the Herrscher of Corruption.
Therefore, it chose to use genes to store memories.
After learning about the method of 'placing anti-Honkai memory into genes', No. 666 chose to modify 'anti-Honkai memory' into 'knowledge memory' and apply it to itself.
This knowledge will not be as direct as the knowledge stuffed into the brain by the system, but as long as it is accompanied by thinking, this knowledge will appear in the brain, thus completely affecting a person's knowledge reserve and thinking logic.
"Relying on genes for knowledge inheritance, completely achieving the saying that a dragon begets a dragon and a phoenix begets a phoenix, so the son of a scholar is also an excellent scholar. What No. 666 did will fundamentally subvert the operating rules of this society."
Chen Ran had a headache.
No. 666 cleverly did not tell anyone about this, because it also knew that once this was known, it would be very popular.
Thus, there would be no way out for the bottom layer.
This is simply an amazing player.
Although No. 666 concealed it from people, two people were not concealed.
Fuxi and Nuwa.
When No. 666 conducted the experiment, it was impossible to do everything alone, so Fuxi and Nuwa, who came to the research institute later, became its exploited objects.
"Unknowingly, I've become a Senior."
Feeling the strangeness in his body, Chen Ran suddenly looked forward to the future of this body.
Honkai Energy suitability, anti-Honkai memory gene, knowledge gene, Stigmata resonance…
It sounds like a Honkai world-specific 360 all-in-one package.
After accepting all the memories, Chen Ran took a deep breath.
"The follow-up work of the experiment and the data calculation work have not been completed, and similarly, Vill-V has contacted many times hoping to test new weapons."
No. 666 did not go to Vill-V.
It believed that its research was very important, so it kept delaying Vill-V's requests.
However, when Chen Ran returned here, the experiments were almost completed.
"Bia, let me look at the experimental data again, I'll continue to see what needs to be modified." Chen Ran said to Durandal.
Bia said, "I can retrieve it, but what about the lewd pictures you promised me?"
"When did I promise you?"
"When you asked me to simulate the data, you said you would agree no matter what I did."
Bia put her hands on her hips, her big eyes staring at Chen Ran, as if saying he didn't keep his word.
Chen Ran: "I'm a decent person, decent people don't have that kind of thing."
He coughed, "Let's do this, I'll give you a website, remember it."
Bia's eyes sparkled.
So, who corrupted this girl?
He must draw a line with such people!
…
…
Fire Moth, MEI's independent laboratory.
After obtaining the independent laboratory and internal level III permissions, MEI was too busy to cope with her work every day.
She took over Fire Moth's resources, so she naturally had to take on Fire Moth's tasks.
After realizing that Durandal could predict Honkai, the superiors required MEI to advance the Honkai prediction time to half a month or even a month.
Before the fourth Honkai occurred, due to the prediction of more than ten days in advance, most of South America was spared, and because of this, the Honkai covering South America was not strong, including the combat ability of the Fourth Herrscher itself, which was judged to be far inferior to the 3rd Herrscher.
The Herrscher's combat performance is closely related to the concentration of Honkai Energy. If the Honkai prediction time is long enough, the Herrscher born from Honkai covering an uninhabited city will be the weakest Herrscher.
Undoubtedly, this is an ideal situation.
Although MEI also knew that Honkai would not be so ideal, she still agreed.
To be precise, she didn't have the right to refuse now.
Fire Moth is an anti-Honkai organization composed of top talents and first-line resources from various countries. She has no one behind her, and can only patiently complete every task of Fire Moth for now.
However, although she only looks like a high school girl, MEI did not choose to sit idly by.
She fully understands the importance of teamwork here.
After completing the daily experimental work as usual, MEI walked out of the laboratory.
Compared to continuing to understand Honkai, she felt that she should first gain support for herself.
…
…
Chen Ran rubbed his head.
"Sure enough, doing experiments is not a kind of brain work that ordinary people can participate in. I don't know how those people who lock themselves in the laboratory do it."
He took Bia to the Fire Moth rest area to relax.
Chen Ran is no longer the little newbie who just joined the First Research Institute. As long as he completes his own work, no one will stop him from going anywhere.
After all, Fire Moth is a place where geniuses gather, and geniuses are not suitable for a fixed-time work system.
Although the First Research Institute also has attendance check-in.
The reason why Chen Ran was so tired was not only the follow-up work of No. 666's experiment, but also Wendy.
He and Durandal simulated the environment of spacetime fracture.
That is, to make people become unobservable.
Now Chen Ran's knowledge is very rich, but because of this, he realized how difficult it would be to see Wendy again.
The two of them can only meet by chance in the cracks of time.
This is a sadness.
It's also a kind of luck.
But at this time, he chose to empty his mind.
"If I want to reverse the tragedy of this era, then there can only be one goal."
"Defeat Finality."
"Ah, sure enough, this goal is still too big."
He looked at Bia and said, "What do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you."
"Doujinshi!"
Bia raised her fist and said, "Lewd doujinshi!"
Chen Ran: "You can be a top doujinshi artist yourself, why do you still buy others'?"
Bia blinked, "Don't you also think that other people's instant noodles are delicious, and often fight with Kevin for them?"
Bia had stayed in Chen Ran and Kevin's dormitory for a while.
Chen Ran: …
Sure enough, the person who led Bia astray was found; it was all done by No. 666!
At that moment, a voice came from behind him: "Oh, do you often eat instant noodles in the dormitory?"
Chen Ran turned around and saw Mei dressed in her usual casual attire, looking at Chen Ran. "That taste can't be said to be delicious, nor is it nutritious. Why do you all like it so much?"
It seemed that both Mobius and Kevin she encountered felt the same way.
Chen Ran blinked and said, "Maybe it's because it's convenient."
"But it's not healthy at all," Mei frowned.
Chen Ran replied, "Do you think people who eat instant noodles care about health?"
Mei was left speechless by Chen Ran's words.
With no other choice, she could only change the subject: "How has Bia been doing lately? You haven't bullied her, have you?"
Chen Ran rolled his eyes: "She has already learned the Fire Moth's combat techniques and has started modifying her own weapons. With the strength of her Soulium body, she can even lift five of me. Who do you think is bullying whom in the end?"
Soulium is indeed a miraculous thing.
Don't be fooled by Durandal being just a small one; her performance on the battlefield is definitely not inferior to that of Fire Moth warriors.
It's no wonder that the Mu Continent has Equipment: Living Form. As long as the programmed Soulium mimetic core is combined with weapons, it can generate an automatically fighting ELF, which can completely replace the vast majority of Fire Moth warriors.
Mei said, "Alright, I was overthinking it."
However, as she looked at Bia, she couldn't help but feel a headache.
Undoubtedly, as the world's first self-learning biological robot, Durandal is exceptionally outstanding.
However, precisely because of self-learning, Durandal possesses the ability to simulate human thought and personalized emotions, which makes Mei, who has a strong desire for control, feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She doesn't like her computer to have personalized needs.
In contrast, she prefers her assistant to be quiet.
That's also why Chen Ran can casually borrow Durandal; she isn't in a hurry to get her back.
"Perhaps, I should get myself another assistant."
Mei had her own thoughts.
Chen Ran and Bia naturally had no idea what Mei was thinking, and in front of Mei, Bia also refrained from mentioning anything about 'the notebook.'
This artificial intelligence had probably grown to around eight or nine years old, capable of understanding human emotions.
Chen Ran curiously looked at Mei: "Are you looking for Kevin? He usually isn't in the rest area; most of the time, he's in the training ground."
Unlike Chen Ran, who could appear in multiple places, Kevin in Fire Moth, aside from a few rare occasions when he went to find Mei, spent most of his time in the training ground.
Kevin no longer needed to train like a rookie.
But he had to train the new recruits.
"Do you remember that boy named Kosma that Kevin and I brought back?" Chen Ran said with a smirk. "He joined Kevin's team, and on the first day, he was scolded by Kevin to the point of crying five times."
"Actually, Kevin felt quite awkward, not knowing what to say. The more anxious he got, the harsher he scolded, and then Kosma cried even harder."
Mei said lightly, "I heard Kevin mention it before, and he said you were holding a piece of watermelon at that time, looking very happy."
Chen Ran blinked: "It sounds like I was being a bully. Clearly, I later gave Kosma a lot of guidance and even provided Kevin with a '100 Questions for Communication.'"
Mei shot him a glance. "Hmph."
"I'm not here to look for Kevin."
"Oh, then what are you here for?"
"Why do you think I must be doing something when I come out?" Mei retorted.
Chen Ran said, "It's only natural, isn't it? After all, the smarter people are, the more precious their time is, and they won't tolerate wasting it."
"You are right; I did come to resolve this matter thoroughly."
Mei's eyes held a hint of sharpness: "Chen Ran, you can help me, right?"
——
"He has disappeared."
"Or rather, I could say my memory has stopped."
When Wendy found Mobius again, she directly said, "I don't know what Chen Ran did, but after that battle with the Herrscher, my memory has not had any excess manifestations; he must have jumped through time."
"You all said that time shouldn't be able to jump back and forth."
"That's exactly the question we are puzzled about." The expert Vill-V's voice carried a hint of laziness as she said, "If time could be jumped, there wouldn't be a graveyard called Elysian Realm."
If the civilization they were in could freely adjust time, then they could infinitely farm Finality.
A super difficult boss can always be farmed a few more times, and there will always be strategies.
However, Wendy did not come to verify this.
Now she probably realized that Chen Ran was deeply trapped in the paradox of fate.
She wanted to save him.
And she wanted to save this world.
The girl had always been a Valkyrie and had not given up her persistence and pride in being a Valkyrie until now.
The duty of a Valkyrie is to protect humanity from the corruption of Honkai.
"I want to know how to reach your era. I'm not just talking about consciousness."
"Don't think about it. The thing you want to do, while theoretically possible, is practically almost impossible to accomplish." The expert Vill-V paused and said, "I'm not a scholar specializing in physics; if Mei were here, it wouldn't be impossible for her to explain it to you."
"But even I know that physical time travel is nearly impossible, and for Chen Ran to achieve that is already a miracle."
Wendy said, "I want to know that theory."
"Simple, just like you are now." Vill-V said, "Quantumize or virtualize your body, and traverse to the past node in a higher dimension."
"However, the greater probability is that you will die first."
"I can't say the success rate; I'm not a professional. The professionals aren't here."
Wendy fell silent.
Elysian Realm records the brilliant splendor of that civilization.
However, in that era, the dazzling Dr. MEI and Chen Ran refused to copy their memories into Elysian Realm.
Wendy didn't know what happened in between; she could only intuitively feel that the Fire Moth of that era was not as united as the current Schicksal.
Oh, although the current Schicksal seems to be far from united as well.
She took a deep breath: "Since there are no answers here, then I will go out to search."
Wendy would not linger here.
She hated this feeling of only being able to encounter things in the gaps of time.
Even if she could trace her consciousness back to earlier times, that was not what Wendy wanted.
She is a Herrscher; she can do more.
The expert Vill-V raised an eyebrow: "Are you leaving?"
"Yes, do I have any reason to stay here?"
"That's true."
The expert Vill-V said, "Although I'm also curious about what Chen Ran did, that doesn't justify binding you here."
"But remember to say goodbye to Elysia when you go back."
Wendy blinked: "What does that have to do with Elysia?"
"If you have the chance, you'll know later."
Wendy returned to the rest area of Elysian Realm, looking puzzled.
Elysia was already waiting here: "Hi, Wendy, it's been so long; did you miss me?"
"I'm sorry, not at all."
Wendy paused and said to Elysia beside her, "I'm leaving now; Vill-V wants me to say goodbye to you properly."
"Ah, are you leaving now? Will you come back after this? I have so much I want to talk to you about!"
"Maybe... I will come back later."
Elysian Realm can be exited but not impossible to enter again.
She just wanted to try to find a way back to the past.
Since there are no answers here, then she would look for another place.
Schicksal? Anti-Entropy?
At this time, Wendy had not fully recognized the gap in the foundations of the three organizations.
In her understanding, since the Valkyrie's time-space fracture system could allow her present self to meet her past self, then the real answer would likely lie with the Second Herrscher.
Elysia showed a hint of regret: "Oh, I wanted to know more about you."
"As for me, there's nothing much to know." She paused and half-jokingly said, "Perhaps if I'm lucky enough, I can go back to the past, and then it wouldn't be too late for you to get to know me."
"Well, fate is not predetermined, so I'm looking forward to it!"
The girl's face was filled with cheerful smiles.
After bidding farewell to her, Wendy left.
She was not satisfied with only having the chance to meet in the gaps of time.
