Yu Muyang listened calmly as Elysia talked about those people.
These were just their usual operations.
Nothing worth making a fuss over.
“Kevin has already been pulled into Ato’s squad.
Hua’s strength and talent are also good, so Himeko has claimed her.”
After finishing the bottle of water in his hand, Yu Muyang asked curiously, “Can Kevin take on missions now?”
Elysia shook her head lightly.
“They both entered the squads as special cases.
Their equipment isn’t fully ready yet.
Everyone’s gear is more or less customized.
Outstanding soldiers like them naturally need special orders.”
“What about mine?”
Elysia: “Seems like there isn’t any～”
Yu Muyang: …
This is clearly different treatment!
His mouth twitched a little, but he didn’t really want those pieces of equipment.
For him right now, they might even be a burden.
Still, this kind of different treatment made him feel a bit annoyed for no clear reason.
Just as he was about to say something more, his phone suddenly vibrated.
An unknown number showed on the screen.
He answered with some doubt.
“Hello, is this Vice-Captain of the Second Squad, Yu Muyang?”
“Yes, this is me.
Who is this?”
“I’m the director of the Quantum Research Institute.
Last time one of my researchers heard some ideas from you that I find very feasible.
How about we find a time to talk?”
“Uh, I was just talking casually.
I’m only a soldier.
I have no research background in this area.
I didn’t even go to university.”
On the other end of the line, Einstein was stunned.
According to the researcher, this guy was smart and full of ideas.
Einstein had thought he was an intellectual-type fighter.
She never expected him to be a pure combatant.
“It’s fine.
Maybe you still have a lot of potential you haven’t noticed yourself.
When I return to The Flame-Chasers, let’s meet.
I think the idea you proposed has real pioneering value.”
“It’s settled then.
My name is Einstein.
Goodbye.”
Before Yu Muyang could reply, the other side hung up.
Yu Muyang stared at the blank screen, speechless.
I already gave you the suggestion.
Just research it yourself.
What do I know?
I only know Armed Dolls are cute.
Nothing else.
“Who called?”
Yu Muyang sighed and put his phone away.
“Doctor Einstein.”
Elysia was surprised.
She didn’t expect that person to contact Yu Muyang on her own.
Looks like she still didn’t understand him well enough.
[I really don’t know much about Armed Dolls.
Maybe I should look for some related books.
Even if it might not help much, it’s better than knowing nothing when asked.]
[Besides the Armed Dolls thing, my training seems to have hit a bottleneck.
These sessions don’t improve my strength much anymore.
Looks like I need real combat—fighting Honkai Beasts.]
[I remember later Sakura gets ordered by the higher-ups to assassinate MEI.
Kevin stops her, and MEI persuades her.
Sakura’s skills are good.
I wonder if I can dig her out to spar with me.]
[Besides, those donkey ears really look great!]
[Aside from that, I don’t know when Soulium will be researched.
Soulium is essential for studying Divine Keys.
Unfortunately I don’t know much about it either, and I have no idea when it will be ready.]
[Thinking about it, there’s so much to do.
First go see Kevin and Hua.
Also, Mobius hasn’t looked for me lately.
I’m starting to feel a little unused to it…]
Yu Muyang sighed softly.
It’s a pity he wasn’t a researcher.
Otherwise he would definitely help these people finish Divine Keys and MANTIS first.
Those things were extremely important for raising combat power.
He planned to see Kevin and Hua first, then go find Mobius afterward.
If Mobius didn’t look for him, he would go look for her.
After all, the MANTIS data in his hands still hadn’t been handed over.
He needed to find a chance.
After sorting these thoughts, Yu Muyang turned and headed to the First Training Ground to find Kevin and Hua.
Elysia saw him get up and leave, so she followed.
He had just said a lot again.
She would keep following and see if there was any more information about herself.
When she heard that Sakura from the Cocoon would be ordered by the higher-ups to assassinate MEI, and that she herself would stop everything…
Looking at her own situation, this Sakura must also be a kind and understanding person.
And according to Yu Muyang, Sakura’s strength wasn’t weak and could spar with him.
Since Yu Muyang didn’t want to spar with her, she would just dig Sakura over.
As for the Cocoon…
A beautiful girl can do anything～
After arriving at the First Training Ground, he saw Kevin and Hua who had already been separated from the others.
Their training volume already exceeded the normal recruit amount.
Continuing with the other recruits would only hold them back.
So Ato had pulled the two of them out for individual training.
When Ato saw Yu Muyang and Elysia arrive, his eyes lit up.
“Yo, you two actually have the mood to come watch recruit training.
Rare guests.”
Except for the first day of recruit training, Yu Muyang almost never came.
Normally Elysia would just take a quick look, learn a bit about Kevin and Hua, then go straight to find Yu Muyang.
Poor old him was stuck here watching these recruits train.
Yu Muyang gave an embarrassed smile.
“You’re here, aren’t you?
With you around I feel we don’t need to show off in front of an expert.
You’re the professional in this area.”
“Enough with the flattery.
You two came specifically to see those two, right?”
Ato waved his hand, not buying it at all.
His gaze fell on Kevin and Hua on the other side of the training ground.
The two of them had already started sparring against Honkai Beasts.
Their progress was so fast it made him sweat a little.
“Yeah.
I’ll go chat with them.
They’re good seedlings after all.”
Yu Muyang smiled and didn’t deny it.
He stated his purpose directly.
“Go ahead.”
Ato didn’t say more and waved them off.
Kevin and Hua, who were training, were called by a voice.
They stopped and turned toward the source.
Two figures were walking toward them.
Yu Muyang smiled.
“Looks like you’re doing well in The Flame-Chasers.”
Kevin looked at the person who had saved him from Nagazora City.
His expression changed slightly, then he saluted.
“Sir!”
Hua saw Kevin do it and also saluted along with him.
“No need to be so formal.
With your talent, you’ll probably reach my level soon.
If you really want to salute, salute the person next to me instead.”
Yu Muyang stepped aside a little, revealing Elysia.
Elysia waved with a smile.
“Hello~ I’m Elysia.
Just like my name, I’m a girl as gorgeous as falling flowers～”
Hearing Elysia’s introduction, the two exchanged a look.
This person… is a bit strange.
Yu Muyang came here mainly just to get a bit more familiar.
He also told Kevin a little about MEI’s situation so he wouldn’t worry.
As for Hua, she was still too shy right now, so Yu Muyang planned to take it slow.
They would meet more often and go on missions together later.
Familiarity would come naturally.
After a short chat, Yu Muyang planned to go find Mobius.
The things in his hands still needed to be given to her eventually.
After arranging a time, he turned to leave.
This time Elysia didn’t continue following him.
She said she had something to do and left directly.
Watching Elysia’s hurried back, Yu Muyang raised an eyebrow slightly.
Looks like it really was urgent.
She left so quickly.
He shook his head.
Whatever.
First go to the First Laboratory to find Mobius.
At the same time.
Canghai City.
In a dark sewer, Mobius carried a suitcase and walked step by step into the damp, foul-smelling place.
After walking for who knows how long, she stopped.
She looked at the massive creature in front of her that was absorbing Honkai energy.
A dangerous smile appeared on her lips.
Found you.
Shesha.
