My outrageous life in Honkai Impact 3

Luo Chen leaned back in his chair, abandoning his playful attitude, and looked seriously into Wendy's eyes: "I have a way to help you get back on your feet and fight again."

"really?"

Wendy still couldn't quite believe it. She had been in a wheelchair for three years, and now Luo Chen was telling her that he could stand up again. It seemed impossible to her.

“Remember Bronya I told you about? Her legs were rendered unusable due to Honkai energy, and she was able to stand up again thanks to her exoskeleton armor.”

"You mean, I can also use exoskeleton armor?"

“That’s right. I’ve already asked Otto for an exoskeleton and a biochip. With the help of the Desire Gem within you, standing up should be quite easy.”

Wendy was still in shock and didn't notice that Luo Chen's words had clearly indicated that she could use the Desire Gem.

"But you'll have to wait a few days. I'll pick you up and take you to St. Freya. The headmaster will arrange it."

"No, you just said you were using the power of the Desire Gem..."

Wendy finally realized what was happening, staring at Luo Chen with a hint of fear, wondering how he knew.

"What? Surprised?"

Luo Chen raised his hand to signal Wendy not to panic, as he had no intention of making a move: "Actually, I've known for a long time that you can use the power of the Gem of Desire, but what does it matter? You're just a Herrscher, haven't I seen plenty of them?"

Wendy agreed, and besides, she could tell that Luo Chen was genuinely taking care of her, so her wariness dissipated.

"So, Luo Chen, what exactly is your purpose in approaching me?"

Wendy didn't believe that Luo Chen approached her without any ulterior motives, and she felt somewhat ashamed that she had only accepted his kindness unilaterally. She also wanted to help Luo Chen.

"Do you want to know?"

Seeing Wendy nod, Luo Chen thought for a moment and decided to tell her, otherwise it would be difficult to absorb the gem's energy.

"Simply put, I can absorb the energy from the Herrscher core, so Otto wanted me to try to absorb the energy from the Gem of Desire."

Fearing Wendy wouldn't believe him, Luo Chen raised his hand and activated Honkai energy, lightning and flames appearing simultaneously in his hand. As for the Honkai energy of the Death Law, Luo Chen didn't use it, fearing that if the Honkai energy accidentally spread, the entire room would be doomed.

Wendy looked surprised for the second time. She had been skeptical when Luo Chen first revealed his purpose. But after seeing what was in his hands, Wendy was particularly curious about how Luo Chen had done it.

"How did you do that? That looks amazing!"

"To be honest, I'm also quite curious about how I did it."

Luo Chen withdrew his Honkai energy. He also wanted to know the answer to Wendy's question: where did all his strange abilities come from?

"So you came to take care of me just because you crave jewels?"

Wendy was somewhat disappointed. She had thought Luo Chen was different from the others, but it seemed that he was only being so nice to her because of the gem inside her.

"What are you thinking? The main reason is still because of you."

Wendy's unhappiness was practically written all over her face, and Luo Chen really didn't understand why Wendy was so pessimistic about things.

“I looked at your profile beforehand and found that you look a lot like one of my friends, so I couldn’t help but want to take care of you.”

Recalling Wendy's ending in the game, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel sorry for the person in front of him. After all, she was just a little girl full of hope for the future. Why did she have to end her promising life so hastily?

'As expected, it was all the planning's fault!'

Luo Chen silently offered his blessings to the planners and gave a sincere greeting to the Honkai Will before refocusing his attention on Wendy.

"I won't say anything grand or righteous. Wendy, let's make a deal."

Luo Chen extended his hand, mimicking Otto's smile and tone, and extended an invitation to Wendy.

Wendy grasped Luo Chen's hand without hesitation and nodded solemnly to him.

"Then I'll leave it to Mr. Luo Chen."

"Okay, but you'll have to wait a while."

Luo Chen said happily that bringing in such a strong teammate as Wendy would be of great benefit to St. Freya's future development.

'That way, the survival rate when the Queen arrives will be a bit higher, right? No, wait, Wendy will also be pursued by Sirin for the Gem of Desire, so she'll have to be careful then.'

"what are you thinking about?"

Wendy waved her right hand in front of Luo Chen. Luo Chen snapped out of his daze, shook his head to indicate that it was nothing, and told Wendy about the next steps.

"Tomorrow I'll take you to the prepared training grounds to see if I can absorb the power of the Gem of Desire. After I leave, you should rest well. I'll have Otto arrange for someone to look after you. I estimate it will be another two months or so before I take you back to St. Freya."

After giving all these instructions, Luo Chen went to the kitchen to wash the dishes and also talked to Wendy about the precautions for tomorrow.

"Be careful then. It won't be fun if the energy of the Gem of Desire leaks out. Then we'll be facing a Honkai outbreak."

"Understood, then I'll use just a little bit."

Wendy responded, expressing her curiosity about tomorrow's experiment. She also wanted to know if Luo Chen could absorb the power of the Desire Gem.

"Hey Wendy, do you play video games?"

Luo Chen wiped the water off his hands, turned on the TV in the living room, and looked at Wendy with the two controllers in hand.

"I've never played it before."

"It's alright, I'll teach you."

Wendy took the controller and tried to control the character on the screen like Luo Chen did, and she learned it in no time.

"Got it? Okay then. I'm going to increase the intensity now."

Chapter 102 Please don't make any strange noises, okay?

The next day, Luo Chen obtained authorization from Otto, cleared out an indoor training area of ​​the Oceania branch, and sealed off all entrances and exits.

"Wendy, are you ready?"

After installing all the devices that Otto had sent to isolate Honkai energy, Luo Chen returned to the training ground and asked Wendy across from him.

"Is this really alright?"

Wendy was still a little worried. After all, this was no small matter. If others found out that she could control the Stone of Desire, who knew what those crazed researchers would do after Luo Chen left? In that case, she would have to eliminate everyone who knew about it, which meant she wouldn't be able to go to St. Freya either.

"Don't worry, I got these from Otto, and there's no one around here anymore."

Luo Chen reassured her that if they were really exposed, she could simply take Wendy back to St. Freya, and Otto wouldn't say anything.

"Alright then, what do I need to do?"

"It's actually very simple. You just need to unleash the power of the Gem of Desire, and then I'll try to absorb your Honkai energy."

This was the first time Luo Chen had ever tried to directly absorb Honkai energy from a human body, and he didn't know if he would succeed.

"It should be all better now."

"Alright, try releasing Honkai energy first."

Wendy released Honkai energy, and her whole body floated up from the wheelchair, with whirlwinds starting to surround her.

Luo Chen checked the equipment to confirm that there was no Honkai energy leaking out, nodded to Wendy, and began the next stage.

Why are you floating so high?

Wendy was now completely out of her wheelchair and hovering in the air; Luo Chen had to look up to see her face.

"I'm not very skilled at controlling the Gem of Desire yet, and I accidentally flew too high."

Wendy returned to her wheelchair and manipulated Honkai energy to gather it in her palm.

Luo Chen took Wendy's hand, absorbed the Honkai energy in her hand into his own body, released her hand and took a few steps back to prevent any accidental injury to Wendy.

Luo Chen could sense Wendy's Honkai energy surging wildly in his arm before finally dissipating into his body.

"Strange, this is the first time I've encountered this situation."

Luo Chen was suspicious. He couldn't absorb Wendy's Honkai energy. Theoretically, this was the energy of the Gem of Desire.

"Do you want to try again?"

Wendy gathered Honkai energy once again, and Luo Chen repeated the same action, but the result was the same: the Honkai energy disappeared as soon as it entered Luo Chen's body.

"what happened?"

Luo Chen was puzzled. Logically speaking, this should be acceptable, since it was Otto who suggested it.

"Could it have been impossible in the first place?"

Luo Chen tried several more times, but failed every time. He sat on the ground and analyzed the reasons for his failure.

"I think so. I've never heard of absorbing human Honkai energy before."

"Forget it then, I didn't have high hopes to begin with."

Luo Chen got up, intending to take Wendy back, but she stopped him.

"what happened?"

"Since we're already here, let's have a fight before we leave."

Wendy laughed, flew off her wheelchair, Honkai energy formed a pair of wings behind her, her eyes flashed green, and two whirlwinds surrounded her.

"Is this due to the influence of the Gem of Desire?"

Luo Chen parked the wheelchair to the side, stretched his body briefly, his right eye turned gold, and he gave Wendy a Jugglus-like smile.

"It's been a while since I fought a Herrscher. Wendy, watch out."

Despite Luo Chen's usual lazy demeanor and reluctance when going on missions, he actually enjoys fighting quite a bit at heart.
