V2/Chapter 33: Is this medicine for humans?
"Although I can understand the impatience of having a new research institute, is it really necessary to leave in such a hurry?"
An hour later, Ai Yue and Mobius were lying side by side on the bed. After a brief silence, Mobius spoke first.
(TL: WTF!!!! where's the segs!!!!)
The main reason was that Ai Yue was busy catching his breath, so she had to speak slowly before speaking.
Without hearing Ai Yue's reply, Mobius continued to talk to herself: "Look, the experiment of the pseudo-Herrscher potion has not yet produced a sufficiently stable result. The subsequent optimization of the fusion warrior formula will definitely be inseparable from you, and..."
Mobius frowned and began to rack her brains to think of any excuse to keep Ai Yue.
But it seems that apart from these two projects, there is really nothing much to say.
Mobius knew very well that for Ai Yue, no one was necessary, including her. No matter if it was Mei and Vill-V who were top scholars, Kevin and Elysia who were top fighters, or Aponia and Pardofelis who were close friends, these people were actually relying on Ai Yue, not because Ai Yue needed them.
Even if Ai Yue is alone, Mobius believes that he can live well.
As for the so-called scientific research projects, they are not important to him.
Did Ai Yue give the projects that Mobius was currently researching to her because he couldn't find any results? No, it was just because Ai Yue thought that these projects were no longer the most important focus, and she happened to have certain abilities to take over these projects, so the other party gave them to her.
In other words, Ai Yue had no reason to stay.
In fact, there was no reason for Mobius to let Ai Yue stay. After all, the project of the Pseudo-Herrscher Potion was now being carried out independently, and she could no longer get involved in the fusion warrior formula. She was usually only responsible for running virtual models and the like. Even if Ai Yue was not at the Fire Moth headquarters, relying on the current means of communication, it would not affect their cooperation at all.
Moreover, without Ai Yue, Mobius has returned to her original position of "second to none" in the Fire Moth headquarters. She no longer needs to worry about someone using funds to control her every day, and she no longer needs to be told what to do. This should actually be a good thing, but...
Mobius bit her lip, not quite sure what she was thinking.
Or, why don't they just move there? Anyway, Vill-V said there's a lot of space over there, so Ai Yue shouldn't mind leaving a laboratory for herself, right?
While Mobius was struggling over this, Ai Yue finally caught his breath: "Why, you can't bear to leave me?"
"I just don't want to let the research material get away." Mobius was as stubborn as Soulium, "I thought I could study you anytime, so I didn't do it. Now you want to run away, so I definitely can't agree."
"So you used this method to obtain materials today, right?" Ai Yue shook his head slightly. "By the way, even if I go to Australia, it won't affect the project here. It's easy to go back and forth anyway."
"How can it be easy? It's such a long distance!" Mobius turned her head and glared at Ai Yue, "Are you going to waste your time on the road?"
"It's just a few steps, why waste time?" Ai Yue frowned, "If you don't even want to walk those few steps, you might as well just shove the door into your closet."
"Door?" Mobius finally sensed something was wrong. "What door?"
"A portal." Ai Yue said as if it was a matter of course, and then he realized, "You heard the first sentence I said when I walked in, right?"
Mobius's face suddenly became hot, but she couldn't say anything to refute, because it seemed that this time it was really her own problem.
But she quickly changed the subject: "Have you really studied and understood the power of the Second Herrscher?"
The portal, or the ability to teleport through space, naturally came from the power of the Second Herrscher. Previously, in the decapitation tactics against the Eighth Herrscher, Mobius had briefly mastered this ability with the help of the effect of the potion.
Building a pair of portals that can stably transmit objects on both sides across space is obviously much more difficult than relying solely on potions.
Fortunately, the power of the Second Herrscher can theoretically be transmitted through imaginary space as a springboard, so theoretically no matter how far the distance is, it is actually the same. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome to build a portal from the Fire Moth to Australia.
"It's been done a long time ago, but the assembly of the portal still requires Vill-V's help, so we have to wait for her to come back." Ai Yue shrugged. Vill-V was in charge of the specific drawings of the portal, so things like assembly would naturally be handled by her. "I came here to tell you about this today. Who knew you..."
"Alright, alright, stop talking!" Mobius quickly turned over, pressed her whole body on Ai Yue, and then covered his mouth. "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"You blame me?" Ai Yue's eyes widened, and he struggled to shout, "You didn't even give me a chance to explain, and you even drugged me. I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"Well, that's just a safety measure!" Mobius retorted to Ai Yue with a red face, while suppressing him to prevent him from getting up. As a result, both of them were soon frozen.
Because in such a frank environment, intimate physical contact will lead to some very embarrassing consequences.
"You..." Mobius lowered her voice subconsciously, "You've been going through so much trouble just now, how come you're still so energetic!"
"I now suspect that there is something wrong with the dosage of the drug you gave me," Ai Yue also lowered his voice, "Tell me the truth, do you have an antidote?"
"How can there be an antidote for this?" Mobius said helplessly, then smiled charmingly, "At worst, I can just take care of it."
Looking at the expression on Ai Yue's face at this moment, Mobius suddenly realized that at this moment, she was actually in control of the situation—this was something that had never happened before in the process of the two getting along.
When she realized this, she couldn't help but become excited.
'Since I've already done something wrong, why not...just make the best of it?'
As for the consequences she would face later, Mobius no longer wanted to think about anything.
This scholar, who always presented herself to others as calm and rational, chose for the first time to obey her deepest desires.
Even if it's just for this moment, just like this...
(TL: It should've been me not him!!!! this is unfair!!)
