"Klein, the important thing you're talking about isn't this boring banquet, is it? Do you think I won't get angry just because you're my assistant?"
A slightly angry voice rang out as Mebius, with his green hair, spoke calmly.
It was visibly quiet for a moment after Mebius arrived.
Clearly, the other party doesn't have a good reputation among the Firemoths.
"Doctor...spending so much time in the lab...is bad for your health."
Klein looked intently at Mebius.
"Tsk... I know my own body best, mind your own business."
Looking at Klein beside her, Mebius snorted, but then she found a corner to sit down.
"However, since we're already here, going back now would only waste more time."
As luck would have it, Möbius was sitting not far from the underworld.
ps
4k~ I started swimming these past couple of days! To get some exercise!
Requesting monthly tickets and recommendation votes! I'm planning to change the book title~ It might be called "Transformation into the Underworld, Speedrunning Through Pre-Civilizations," and I'll probably change the name for each world to reflect the theme.
Huang Quan (Pre-Honkai Civilization): 8: Herrscher of Flame: Is she the strongest warrior among the Flame Moths? Worth killing! Huang Quan: ?
Dr. Mebius did not greet Huang Quan. After sitting down next to Huang Quan, he remained silent and quietly stuffed food into his mouth.
However, Huang Quan always felt something was off about that interested look in his eyes.
"Mébius, you're here! I thought you were too busy with experiments to come."
Unlike the others who tried to avoid her, Alicia went straight up to Mebius and said with a smile.
"Annoying guy, if you hadn't gone over there and had Klein drag me here, I would still be doing experiments in the lab right now."
Mebius pursed his lips, somewhat annoyed.
"Dr. Möbius means... thank you Alicia for informing her, otherwise Dr. Möbius wouldn't have come."
Klein, standing to the side, remained expressionless and spoke calmly.
"Klein! Shut your mouth and just eat!"
Mebius picked up a piece of cake and shoved it directly into Klein's mouth, making the other man's cheeks bulge and forcing him to chew with difficulty.
"However, I do have a bit of a crush on you, Raiden Mei..."
Mebius looked at Huang Quan with a look of great interest on his face.
Even though Mebius is rather aloof, he has heard of this rising star, the Fire Moth.
After all, she was the one who, according to rumors, helped Kevin and Alicia defeat the Sixth Herrscher.
Moreover, according to Mebius's inside information, Raiden Mei was the MVP in this campaign, while Alicia and Kevin were just easy targets.
"I?"
Huang Quan stared at Mebius, momentarily stunned.
"Well, after all, it's been a long time since Moth of the Flame has had such outstanding newcomers. The last one was Kevin. You all have a lot of potential..."
Mebius was lost in thought, his mind unreadable.
"Oh dear, I'm really sorry, but even if Mebius is very interested in Mei, I won't give her up to you~"
Alicia, standing to the side, hugged Yomi from behind, smiling as she looked at Mebius.
"Tch, acting all precious, who cares?"
Mebius pursed his lips and said nothing more.
The newlyweds' banquet proceeded without any major incidents. It's worth mentioning that Kevin and May only made a brief appearance at the end of the banquet before hurriedly leaving again.
Although Kevin wanted to stay a little longer, May seemed to be very busy lately and kept pulling Kevin aside to study something.
Of course, in other people's eyes, this is just a young couple deeply in love.
Huang Quan naturally knew what the other party was thinking. Combining this with the manuscript of the Fusion Warrior project on Dr. Mei's desk that he had accidentally seen a while ago, he guessed that the pressure of the Honkai had been causing Dr. Mei a lot of trouble.
Although the Sixth Herrscher was easily dealt with by the presence of Yomi, the increasingly severe Honkai disasters around the world still put great pressure on Moth Chaser.
After all, the Honkai is not only facing the Great Honkai at the Herrscher level.
Those small-scale collapses that occur sporadically around the world also pose a great challenge to those who chase the flame.
After all, Honkai attacks happen frequently, but it takes a long time for the Fire Moth to train even the most ordinary warrior.
"Welcome, Mei. From today onwards, you officially join the Firemoth. With your help, humanity's chances of defeating the Honkai have increased once again."
Dr. Mei and Huang Quan stood together, and in front of everyone, they gently clasped hands together.
"I will do my best to help humanity overcome the Honkai."
Huang Quan nodded slightly and said.
"Alright, today is a great day! With Mei joining us, we've gained another powerful member! Hehe, with Kevin, we have Mei; the title of the strongest team is about to change hands!"
Ellie, who was standing to the side, smiled and grabbed Huang Quan's shoulder, saying...
In response to Alicia's words, Kevin just awkwardly scratched his cheek.
When Kevin's training record was broken a couple of days ago, he was initially a little unconvinced, so he took the opportunity to spar with Huang Quan.
And then... and then that was it. Kevin, who had already begun to be hailed as the strongest warrior of the Fire Moth, was completely suppressed by Huang Quan.
Of course, Kevin isn't petty. If he can't beat someone, he'll keep training until he's strong enough to beat the four kings of the chariot.
"My team is currently missing a vice-captain, and Mei's addition will perfectly fill that gap."
Alicia said with a smile.
"If we're talking about combat strength alone, Ellie, the captain, probably has to step down and give way to someone more capable."
Mei teased from the side.
"That won't do. Being a captain is very tiring. It's not based on combat strength that you're chosen as captain. You also need to know a lot of other things."
Alicia shook her head, then looked at Yomi beside her: "Of course, if Mei wants this captain position, I can recommend you in the next election~ I'm happy to be Mei's woman behind the scenes!"
Alicia looked at Huang Quan with a smile.
"No, that's fine."
Huang Quan shook his head and said.
The banquet did not last long. Huang Quan was not a person who enjoyed lively gatherings, and neither were Mei and Möbius. The two scientists only relaxed briefly at the banquet before leaving to return to their experiments.
After returning, Alicia and Huang Quan didn't sit idle either.
Alicia had promised Himiko that after the banquet, they would travel together to Australia to support Himiko.
After all, Himiko traveled a long way to come back and provide support for the Sixth Herrscher this time. Moreover, given the concentration of Honkai energy in Australia, the probability of a Herrscher appearing is very high. Even if there is no Herrscher, an incredibly powerful Honkai Beast will definitely be born.
"Well, it's alright. Mei doesn't have much luggage, and they'll arrange our accommodation. We only need to bring some personal belongings."
"Mei, are you listening?"
Seeing Mei looking somewhat lost in thought, Alicia puffed out her cheeks and glared angrily at Yomi.
"Sorry, Ellie, I need to go see May first. You can tidy up here for now."
Huang Quan looked apologetically at Alicia beside him.
"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you. But what can I do? I'm so understanding. Go ahead. Since Mei said that, it must be something very important, right?"
Gently patting Huang Quan's shoulder, Alicia lightly pushed him out of the room and waved to him.
Nodding, Huang Quan wasted no more time and walked straight towards Mei's office.
During the walk, he also redeemed the items he had previously acquired.
Soon after, Huang Quan arrived at Dr. Mei's office.
Kevin had already left, leaving Dr. May alone in the office.
"It's you, Mei. Is something the matter?"
After knocking on the door and seeing that it was Huang Quan, Dr. Mei gently rubbed his tired temples and then smiled at her.
"It's nothing, I just felt that this thing might be useful to you."
Huang Quan gently shook his head, and as he spoke, he placed the genius's manuscript in front of Mei Bo Yi Ling Ni Xia Wu Liu Shi.
With a hint of doubt on her face, Dr. Mei took the documents from Ruan Mei's hand.
At first, Dr. Mei thought that what Huang Quan gave him was a series of strange applications that Alicia had instructed her to give him.
After all, Alicia is absolutely capable of doing something like that.
However, when she opened the manuscript, she frowned and realized that things were not so simple.
For a moment, she even forgot that Huang Quan was still beside her, and instead watched intently.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that she came to her senses, looking on with amazement.
"A genius! The person who wrote this manuscript is absolutely a genius!"
After a long while, Mei finally came to her senses, and a rare look of shock appeared on her usually calm face.
However, Dr. Mei is not wrong. The person who wrote this manuscript was indeed a genius, and the two may even have some similarities.
For example, names and such.
"As long as it helps you."
Seeing the joy on Dr. Mei's face, Huang Quan nodded. It was worth spending points to exchange for it; it seemed that this thing would be of great use to Dr. Mei.
"I won't investigate the origin of this manuscript, but... if possible, I'd really like to get to know the person who wrote it."
Holding the manuscript tightly in her hands, Dr. Mei's eyes held a hint of longing.
"Maybe, there might be an opportunity in the future? It's not impossible."
Huang Quan nodded slightly. After all, they were all of the "Beng" generation, and perhaps this world would connect with the world of Bengtie in the future.
