Honkai Impact 3rd, Paradise Typewriter isn't for making this kind of game.

"Huh, that's strange... how come there are two Aunt Möbius?"

Greta looked blankly at Mebius beside her, unable to figure out what was going on for a moment.

“Gresh, the Mebius that left your side is very likely a bionic snake created by Mebius.”

Upon seeing the two Möbius, Xia Yuan realized the incongruity and called out to Gretchen.

"Since you've been discovered, there's nothing we can do. We originally planned to have it keep you company, but since you still found your way here, we'll just have to let you stay quietly where you are and not move around. It's playtime for the adults now~"

Mebius pressed the red button on his hand.

"Accepting command... Hiss~ Hiss~"

The Möbius android beside Gretsch stretched out its hands stiffly like a machine, holding little Gretsch tightly in its arms, making her unable to move and only able to quietly watch from the side.

"I'm sorry, Brother Xia Yuan... Gretchen... seems unable to move..."

Xia Yuan is currently in a situation that is extremely unfavorable to him.

Gretchen has been captured, Sakura is unconscious, and Pado is busy preventing the cat from getting close to the unconscious Sakura. At this point, only himself, Velvet, and the fairy Ellie remain. It seems that his side has no chance of escaping from the laboratory.

"Little Xia Yuan, Little Xia Yuan, wait a minute~ Have confidence in yourself, we still have hope~"

The fairy Ellie had somehow gotten onto Xia Yuan's shoulder and was poking his face with her magic wand.

"Hmm? Ellie, do you have any other ideas now?"

Xia Yuan asked, his voice tinged with a mixture of doubt and curiosity.

"Do you remember the dating strategy chip I prepared for you, Xia Yuan?"

Xia Yuan nodded. No matter what he forgot, he would never forget the chip Ai Li had given him—that strange love chip that had ruined him so badly…

"Could it be... again?!"

Xia Yuan instinctively moved a few steps away from the fairy Ai Li.

Chapter 126 The Sleeping Mebius

"No, it's not what you think, Xia Yuan!"

"I've already removed the romance strategy chip from you, Xia Yuan. Just now, I modified it again, but this time the target isn't you, Xia Yuan, but Mebius. I just need to slip this modified chip onto Mebius when he's not looking."

Fairy Airi quickly explained to Xia Yuan.

As long as it wasn't on him, everything was fine. Xia Yuan could only selectively believe that this strange chip would allow his group to escape safely from the Mebius Laboratory.

"Oh dear, little guest, have you finished your whispered conversation with Alicia? If you're done, then stay there quietly and give up resisting. I'll take good care of you from now on~"

Xia Yuan remained silent...

He simply raised his hands slowly in a gesture of surrender. This was Xia Yuan's signal to Gretchen. After the rescue plan failed, Xia Yuan only told Gretchen the final battle plan to buy time for his group.

Triggering conditions:

When Mebius and Gretchen are both present, the conditions are extremely unfavorable to our side.

Upon seeing Xia Yuan's gesture, Little Gretsch immediately shouted at Mebius's back in a tone she had never raised before, "Aunt Mebius, Gretsch hates you the most!"

Gretchen's shouts were followed by bursts of sobbing.

Gretchen's words were like a sharp arrow piercing Mebius's back. Mebius turned around, looked at the crying Gretchen, and quickly comforted her, "Little Gretchen, don't cry, okay? Um... how about Aunt Mebius treats you to some sweet ice cream?"

While Mebius was coaxing little Gretchen, Xia Yuan, carrying the strange, modified love chip from the fairy Ellie, precisely placed it on the back of Mebius's neck.

Mebius had already noticed Xia Yuan's subtle actions, but he ignored them.

Perhaps it was because Mebius was confident in himself, or perhaps he felt that this little guest from the Paradise of the Past was too weak. With his physical abilities, he couldn't even defeat the lowest-level Honkai Beast. So what if he got close?

She wanted to see what other methods Ellie could possibly use to escape the lab.

But it was precisely this attitude that caused Mebius to squander her absolute advantage at that moment.

The moment the chip was attached to the back of his neck, Möbius collapsed to the ground and fell into a deep sleep, with memories of the past flashing through his mind like a revolving lantern.

"Doctor, Doctor, wake up!"

Klein called out to Dr. Möbius, but there was no response. Remembering that the guest who had just come to the Land of the Dead had stuck something on the back of Dr. Möbius's neck, Klein quickly turned Dr. Möbius over.

"This is a chip?!"

Klein connected the chip to the terminal, attempting to crack it and awaken Dr. Möbius, but all his efforts were in vain...

Welcome to the Love Strategy Chip - A Customized Version for Mebius

[Person Identification: Error Code 0000000]

Verification failed.

Authentication failed.

Request failed

"Little Klein, don't waste your energy. Apart from Xia Yuan, no one can crack this chip through external means."

But little Klein ignored the fairy Ellie and continued trying.

Looking at the continuous error messages on the virtual screen and Dr. Möbius's sleeping face, a special feeling she had never felt before seemed to arise deep within her. She was unwilling to let Dr. Möbius fall into a coma like this, afraid of losing him, afraid of never hearing the doctor's instructions and the tasks he had given her again.

"Was the Doctor's original intention in designing himself to commemorate his assistant named Klein?"

Klein kept trying.

He ignored everything outside of Dr. Mebius.

At this moment, Xia Yuan had arrived in front of the replica robot developed by Mebius and rescued Gretchen from the hands of the replica snake.

[Hiss~ Hiss~]

"Thank you, Brother Xia Yuan...~"

Greta, who had been rescued, affectionately rubbed against Xia Yuan's trouser leg.

"Alright, everyone, Dr. Mebius is now unconscious. Miss Wilvi, please take Sakura with you. Let's leave here as soon as possible."

Just as Xia Yuan was about to leave with Gretchen, the fairy Ellie suddenly tugged at Xia Yuan's sleeve. Seeing her embarrassed smile, Xia Yuan had a bad feeling.

"Little Xia Yuan~"

"I won't listen!"

Xia Yuan interrupted the fairy Ellie before she could finish speaking. He just wanted to leave Mebius's laboratory as soon as possible to prevent Mebius from waking up later.

"Hmm...actually, I forgot to tell you something, Xia Yuan. After you attached that chip to her, it's very likely that Mebius won't wake up unless you help her..."

At this moment, the fairy Ellie's little devil tail and little devil horns were revealed, and even her original magic wand turned into an evil little triangular fork, whispering in Xia Yuan's ear.

"So this was indeed Ellie's true purpose."

Looking at the unconscious Dr. Möbius and the bewildered little Klein beside him, Xia Yuan sighed. He couldn't just leave like this, abandoning Möbius and little Klein.

[Sigh, Mr. Xia, you're doing good deeds for others again. Why don't you ever show me any kindness, have pity on me, let me go out for a walk? And aren't you afraid that when Möbius wakes up, he'll eat you alive, leaving not even bones behind?]

Indeed~

As [Extreme Evil] Velvet said, the issue of awakening Mebius is also something Xia Yuan needs to consider.

"Ellie, if I wake up Mebius, will she continue to attack us?"

"Don't worry, Xia Yuan, absolutely not! I swear on Möbius's favorite little dress, when Möbius wakes up, she'll be a completely new Möbius!"

The more the fairy Ellie said this, the more suspicious and uneasy Xia Yuan felt, but there was no other solution at the moment.

"Okay, Ellie, tell me what to do?"

"Hmm~ It's actually very simple~"

"As long as Xia Yuan, you get to Mebius's side and pass the authentication of the love strategy chip's recognition module, you can intervene in Mebius's past experiences, just like playing a life simulation game. By continuously simulating and looping through the events, you can meet the final conditions and awaken Mebius from her slumber!"

"The fairy Ellie said with considerable pride."

Chapter 127 [Infinite] Possibilities

This special chip was created by the fairy Airi, who modified it based on the inscription representing Mebius [Infinity].

It has infinite possibilities~

It can be said to perfectly match Möbius's pursuit of the infinite.

"This game sounds really complicated..."

"It's not complicated at all. You just need to move your finger and keep clicking."

Alright, let's hurry over to Möbius's side. Little Klein looks very sad; don't let her be too upset. Beautiful girls can't bear to see others sad.

Urged and pulled by the fairy Ellie, Xia Yuan came to Klein's side and, without her noticing, placed his hand on the chip's virtual terminal.

[Identity verification successful...]

The constantly flashing red pop-up window turned green at this moment.

Klein, standing beside him, stopped what she was doing and looked up at Xia Yuan. She didn't understand why this guest from Paradise hadn't left the laboratory with the fairy Ellie, but had instead come to her side...

Klein didn't understand Xia Yuan's behavior at this moment....

It is clear that the Doctor deserves his punishment, and although it is reasonable to say so, as her creator, no matter how wicked the Doctor is or how bad things he plans, she will stay by the Doctor's side forever.

Xia Yuan simply smiled at Klein, then silently stared at the screen in front of him.

【Cute human, please choose one of the following talents and allocate attribute points. Friendly reminder: Honkai Adaptability is a hidden attribute~】

[Ice Sculptor]: You seem to be skilled at making ice sculptures, are not afraid of the cold, and have a very low probability of having Honkai adaptability and mastering the ice element.

【A Salted Fish's Life】: You are a hopeless salted fish.

【Extremely Evil】: ? ? Nature unknown (Please choose this talent with caution, dear humans).

【Charm】: 0

[Intelligence]: 0

【Strength】: 0

[Wealth]: 0

The three talents before me should correspond to my own Stigmata [Xia Yuan·Ice Sculpture (Top)], my life like a salted fish, and the [Extreme Evil] Velvi in ​​my subconscious.

But calling yourself a salted fish is going too far!

"What's wrong with being a lazy bum who just loafs around and waits to die?" Xia Yuan subconsciously glanced at Xiao Ai Li behind him, suspecting that she was implying something about him.

However, the red marker under the [Extreme Evil] talent caught Xia Yuan's attention. Would choosing this talent lead to bad things in the game?

Xia Yuan stared at the values ​​displayed on the virtual screen, lost in thought.

"How should these talents and attributes be allocated to achieve the most reasonable balance?"

[Hey, Xia, pick me! Pick me! Pick me now! Of these three talents, I'm obviously the strongest. Hurry up and choose me!]

"Extremely Evil," Vilvi urged in Xia Yuan's subconscious.

Just then, the fairy Ellie sat on Xia Yuan's shoulder.

"Xia Yuan, you look so lost in thought, you must be struggling with something. How about we let Ai Li do the most important first time of your life~"

"Xia Yuan's most important first time?... Let Greta do it!"

Seeing little Gretchen tugging at his trouser leg beneath him, Xia Yuan covered his forehead and said to the fairy Ellie:

"Ellie, please don't say things so seriously that they might cause little Gresh to misunderstand!"

"Hmm~"

Fairy Airi didn't respond to Xia Yuan's words. Instead, she used her little hand to help Xia Yuan adjust [Charm] to the maximum value [MAX] and selected [Ice Sculptor] as his talent for this life.
