Did the main characters enter the wrong game in their second playthrough?

Did he... say something wrong? Why do I feel a chill run down my spine?

Then, to his astonishment, Xing stood up and patted Zhongli on the shoulder as if they were old acquaintances, saying:

"You're already asking me for 50 yuan, so what else is there to say! From now on, you're my brother!"

Zhongli: “???”

D'Artagnan, following behind Zhong Li: "???"

Is this "Trail Blazers" player really that naive? Can he be bribed with just 50 Mora?

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Wendy's Medical Report

While Ying was still shocked that every world had its own "Uncle Yang," Wendy's test results came out outside the chat group.

Himeko came out carrying a stack of medical test reports, with Wendy behind her, who no longer needed a wheelchair or crutches and could walk freely.

The moment she stepped out, Wendy stood shyly behind Ying, although...

I don't know why she was shy.

Himeko seemed unfazed by this, as if she were already used to it, and read out Wendy's medical report.

"Tests have shown that Wendy's physical functions are now no different from those of a normal person. Her legs, which were once corrupted by the Lust Gem, have now miraculously returned to normal, and even the Lust Gem within her body is unusually stable..."

Himeko gave Ying a deep look, then turned to Mei on the other side and said:

"Mei, you should also get tested later."

"Okay, Himeko-sensei."

Mei nodded, seemingly having guessed something, without asking any further questions.

"Then what happens next..."

Himeko looked at Wendy, who was being very clingy to Ying, and felt quite troubled.

"The Desire Gem has now stabilized, and the damage it caused to Wendy has dissipated. I originally thought the Desire Gem could be removed from Wendy's body without causing her any harm..."

"But the reality was clearly far beyond my expectations."

Himeko then explained the reason to everyone.

"The Desire Gem... is now completely integrated with Wendy, and the possibility of removing it surgically is almost zero."

"So... I'm sorry Wendy, you still have to keep enduring it."

“It’s alright, Himeko-sensei. It’s already a great surprise that I can stand up again. I don’t expect to be able to remove the thing from my body.”

At this point, Wendy's eyes dimmed for a moment.

For her, the desire for jewels was one of the culprits that caused her tragedy, but... those hellish days are finally over, aren't they?

Now she has a new life, and at the same time... she has new hope!

Therefore, even if the gem remains inside her body, she will not continue to be anxious as she was in the past!

"Hmm, good spirits. Now, all we need to do is wait for Mei's test results..."

Himeko nodded with satisfaction, then turned her gaze to the medical examination room.

If Mei's next medical report is similar to Wendy's, then...

She was hesitant to make any decision, but protecting Ying might be the best course of action.

The Conqueror Gem has been stable within Mei's body for a long time, but it is still active, only it doesn't usually show its power.

If conquering the gem, like coveting the gem, has fallen into silence...

That means that Luminous possesses the ability to purify "gems," which also means that Luminous is the ultimate weapon against the [Honkai]!

Perhaps the fate of ending the rampage of Honkai rests on Ying's shoulders...

So, since luminescence can quell the decay and erosion of gems...

Suddenly, as if she had just thought of something, Himeko's eyes lit up!

Immediately afterwards, without Ying's awareness, Himeko seemed to move a tiny bit closer to Ying.

"Looks like... I'll have to go to Mei's place for meals more often from now on..."

Himeko smiled faintly, thinking to herself.

Looking at it this way, perhaps this older woman isn't entirely unable to find a second spring in her life...

No, she's only in her early twenties. What's old about her? If she's really old, you should look at their headmistress, right?

On the other side, Theresa, the real old lady, suddenly sneezed.

"Strange, who is making fun of our school principal again?"

Theresa rubbed her slightly red nose and looked at the medical report sent by Himeko, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

"So Luminous's constitution is this incredible? She can actually absorb Honkai energy, and even the power of a Herrscher's core..."

That being the case...

Theresa's gaze involuntarily swept over the map on the table a few times. On the map, a place name highlighted in red strokes stood out.

Changkong City

The birthplace of the Third Honkai Impact is now a ruin.

According to satellite cloud imagery, some time ago, traces of life were indeed discovered in Changkong City. However, the situation in Changkong City is currently complex, with not only Honkai Beasts and zombies, but also many Titan mechs left behind by Anti-Entropy and ultimately corrupted by Honkai.

For humans, Changkong City is now an absolute no-go zone, but for the Valkyries, it may be a good "testing ground".

Hmm... it's time to issue some missions for the Valkyries to carry out!

Now that Wendy has returned to normal, let Ying and the others form a four-person team with Wendy after some time and train around the outskirts of Changkong City!

……

Soon after, Mei's medical report came out. Just as Himeko had expected, the Gem of Conquest had completely merged with Mei and become quiet, no longer as volatile as it had been at the beginning.

If in the past it was because the Herrscher of Thunder feared the bomb inside Mei's heart, then now...

Perhaps she has already entered a deep sleep.

"Alright, the physical exam is over. You can go back to class now. Tomorrow is your day off, so remember to do your homework in advance and don't miss the rest of the weekend."

"Don't worry, Himeko-sensei, we won't fall behind in our studies."

Mei smiled faintly.

"Hmm~ Perfect timing. I haven't had a break in a while. How about we have a queuing party this weekend? It'll be on me."

After stretching her slightly uncomfortable back, Himeko shed her previous serious expression and, like a normal older sister next door, smiled and invited everyone.

"Of course, but..."

As if recalling something, Mei lowered her eyes slightly, as if there was a hint of helplessness in her expression.

"It seems like nothing other than beer would appear at Himeko-sensei's parties, right?"

You should know that they are all minors and cannot drink alcohol.

Hmm... Ying should also be a minor... right?

Oh... has she forgotten to ask Ying's age all this time?

Judging from its appearance, it shouldn't be very big?

"Well~ that depends on you guys, Mei!"

Clearly, a rather unreliable teacher chose to pass on a difficult problem to his students.

"Then I'll call him class monitor too..."

"Ah... is your name Hua? Looks like I won't be able to drink a few more cans."

Himeko shook her head with great regret.

"..."

"Himeko-sensei, I'm still here."

Fu Hua, who had appeared behind Himeko without her noticing, adjusted her red-rimmed glasses and spoke softly to Himeko.

"!!!"

"Ah! Haha, Hua, you're here too! Perfect timing! Want to come to my house for a party on Sunday?"

"What an abrupt transition..."

Chapter 100: Can you join me on the Starry Sky Train for a lifetime?

"Hmm... So, your name is Zhongli, and you're a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth?"

Xing turned her head to look at Zhongli, whose voice was exactly the same as Walter's.

Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded slightly.

"That's right. I'm fortunate to have been appreciated by the hall master, and now I just do some odd jobs in the Rebirth Hall."

"Well, then..."

Xing nodded and continued:

"Are you the executor of the Fatui, and the emissary of Winter Solstice stationed in Liyue?"

Xing turned his head and looked at Dadalia, who was sitting opposite him and whose voice sounded like a lively version of Danheng.

“That’s right! I am the executor of the Fatui, [Young Master]!”

D'Artagnan nodded as well, looking very eager.

"Um……"

Upon hearing this, Xing slowly closed her eyes amidst the puzzled looks of the two.

"Um, friend? Are you sleepy?"

D'Artagnan raised one eyebrow in confusion. Was this Trail Blazer... going to put on a show of sleeping anywhere on the spot at this tea stall?

"I'm waiting."

Xing closed her eyes and said silently.
