I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

“My dear, you’ve come.”

Ruan Mei stood gracefully in a dark blue cheongsam, the color of which resembled the distant mountains shrouded in mist and rain in Jiangnan. Her voice was clear and gentle, like the cool fragrance emanating from a plum blossom in winter.

Yes, I've arrived.

"You shouldn't have come."

Black Tower's voice rang out, flat and monotonous, with a dull, lifeless quality.

"But I'm already here."

Qiong's tone was calm, then he suddenly let out a long, unreadable sigh:

Why did I come? And why did you come?

"..."

The highly abstract and thought-provoking dialogue caused even the most logical person in the Screw Star to fall silent for two rare seconds.

Countless analysis threads started and shut down in an instant, and in the end, this genius chose to give up trying to understand this unique art.

“Mr. Qiong, your arrival is 4 minutes and 13 seconds earlier than the Black Tower’s predicted time.”

Screw Gum made an elegant joke, naturally shifting his gaze to the beautiful figure beside Qiong:

"This lady is Miss Xing, and...?"

The cool gray and warm pink tones, as if gently blended by cosmic stardust, merge into a dreamy, light purple that cascades down her jade-like back.

Thick, feather-like eyelashes drooped down, covering the pair of fresh, lively pupils below, as if tiny stars had fallen into a spring field.

The backless white and purple dress clung tightly to her figure, revealing her slender arms and smooth, milky-white shoulders. Purple armbands with metal buckles added a touch of chic.

The gold belt around her waist accentuated her delicate figure, while the alluring pantyhose and pinkish-purple lace clasp were faintly visible through the slit in the hem of her short skirt, enveloping her long, slender legs.

The girl held up a teleprompter to the black tower, on which were written the words, "You shouldn't have come."

Without her intervention, how could Black Tower have caught on to this joke?

However, the three geniuses present merely ignored the girl's beauty, their gazes fixed on the swaying gold beads on her delicate earlobes.

"The other one is... Estád?"

Black Tower was very familiar with both Star and its own useful little stationmaster, and was the first to recognize the other half of Star's fusion.

The girl pointed to herself with her thumb, a mischievous smile on her face:

"kono·Hoshida·Da!"

"How did you two combine?"

Black Tower's eyes are slightly upturned at the corners.

"Do we need a reason to merge? We just merge if we want to."

Starstar cutely spreads out her hands.

Hey!

I'm just having fun~

"..."

The three geniuses remained silent for two seconds in unison.

They weren't bothered by Singsta's attitude, but rather by the Potara Earrings' effects and mechanics.

Although it is unknown where Qiong obtained this strange object, whether she found it or bought it.

The former is okay, but if it's a purchase, the seller definitely lost money!

"Starsta, is it? Darling, may I have some blood drawn?"

Ruan Mei's voice was warm and friendly, carrying a touch of enthusiasm that Estella could never have experienced before.

"Uh……"

Xing Shida clearly sensed the almost overflowing aura of a 'mad scientist' emanating from Ruan Mei, instinctively feeling a sense of danger, and subconsciously not wanting to contribute her blood sample.

but……

She calls herself "darling"!

That voice was soft and alluring, possessing an irresistible magic.

"Okay, alright~ Here you go."

Whether it was Xing's infatuation or Aistar's inability to refuse, both were evident in Xingstar at this moment. With a hint of resignation mixed with a touch of coquetry, she extended her delicate, fair wrist:

"Be gentle! Just take a tiny bit!"

"Actually... wouldn't it be better to draw 'your' blood after you merge with Xing or Qiongzai?"

Starstar blinked her big eyes:

"You can draw as many as you want then!"

Without hesitation, they sold another synthetic human that had not yet been born.

Thank you, I will.

Ruan Mei nodded gently, her hands moving with effortless grace.

Her slender, pale fingers were elegantly joined together, with a faint, ethereal blue light swirling around their tips, like the most precise scalpel gently gliding across Xing Shida's wrist.

Her slender, pale fingers touched Xing Si Da's wrist, leaving a trail of dark blue light.

There was no needle, and no visible wound.

In Ruan Mei's other hand, a standard measuring cup appeared out of thin air. The dark blue light seemed to have a life of its own, drawing a few drops of bright red blood, like rubies strung together by invisible threads, precisely flowing from under Xing Sida's skin and falling into the measuring cup.

"Wow~ Is this what a genius in the field of life sciences looks like?"

Xingshida withdrew her arm in surprise and curiously examined her wrist—it was as smooth as ever.

"It didn't hurt at all, there wasn't even a hole."

Ruan Mei simply smiled slightly, her gaze fixed firmly on the few precious drops of sample in the measuring cup.

"Wait! I want some too! Let me have some too!"

Upon seeing Ruan Mei having her blood drawn, Hei Ta couldn't sit still any longer. Like a spring-loaded doll, he leaped over and rushed towards Xing Shida with tiny, quick steps comparable to Usain Bolt.

Before disintegrating, Britta left her her own blood for research, but the more blood samples from the merged human, the better!

"What about the reward?"

"Darling~"

Hei Ta copied Ruan Mei's tone from earlier, attempting to replicate the formula for success.

"No."

Xingshida shook her head decisively, crossed her arms in front of her, and made a big X.

Why?

Black Tower stomped her foot, her delicate face filled with defiance:

"Why do you get to draw a ticket when she calls you 'darling,' but not when I call you 'darling'? That's not fair!"

Faced with the Black Tower's accusations, Starstar rested her chin on her hand, appearing deep in thought, and finally nodded:

"Hmm... although personally speaking, I do prefer a petite and cute washboard doll like you to an intellectual and elegant long-legged mature woman."

Xing Shida glanced at Ruan Mei, then looked around before returning her gaze to Hei Ta.

Just when Black Tower thought there was a chance, Starstar suddenly changed the subject, extending her slender white finger and solemnly pointing to the Dome beside her:

"However, unfortunately, my older brother clearly has his own ideas, and I have to listen to him on this matter!"

When will Xing listen to Qiong?

A question mark appeared above Black Tower's head. She blinked her amethyst eyes in confusion, then looked at Qiong:

"Why do you like Ruan Mei so much? Look at me, she's better than me, what makes me worse than Ruan Mei?"

No.

Qiong looked at the Black Tower with a sincere, even somewhat innocent, expression:

"Don't listen to her nonsense, I really like you."

Black Tower immediately turned his head and cast his questioning gaze back at Starstar.

Xing Shida blinked innocently, "I said I'd listen to my eldest brother. What's the use of asking my second brother? Qiongzai is my little brother, and he doesn't keep his word!"

"what?"

Even the Black Tower was stunned.

So who is your older brother?

Starstar easily understood the question in Black Tower's eyes. She gracefully knelt down in front of Qiong, extended her slender finger, and gently touched the space between Qiong's legs.

"Let me introduce you—this is my older brother."

A solemn and serious tone.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Ruan Mei paused slightly in her hand holding the measuring cup.

The brightness of the ScrewGumm electronic eye seems to have been subtly reduced by one level.

Black Tower's lips twitched.

Okay, okay!

It's no wonder that stars are involved in the integration.

Ruan Mei suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Qiong, and spoke in a light and gentle tone.

"Darling, could you give me some of your blue liquid?"

It's as natural as a couple in the early stages of a relationship asking if they can have a bite of each other's ice cream.

Not only are blood gene samples from the fused warriors needed, but also samples from the original bodies before the fusion, in order to potentially study the connection between the two.

The effective information contained in the blue liquid is far greater than that in the blood.

Qiong and Xing Shida exchanged a glance and blinked.

It is obviously impossible for a normal person to say such a thing without any difficulty and with a clear conscience.

But if it were a scientist in the field of life sciences like Ruan Mei or Mebius, Qiong wouldn't be surprised at all.

Hei Ta was only slightly taken aback when he heard Ruan Mei's words, and then made no further comment.

In her opinion, there was nothing wrong with Ruan Mei's words.

“Ms. Ruan Mei, although Qiong is not a professional researcher, I suggest you use a more formal term.”

Screw Gum didn't really think there was anything wrong with Ruan Mei's actions; they were in line with her personality. It was just a suggestion given after applying universal values ​​and making logical judgments.

Ruan Mei seemed to be deep in thought, and then asked again in her soft, melodious Wu dialect:

“Darling, please give me some of the secretions from your reproductive glands that carry your genetic material.”

"I also want!"

The black tower jumped over again.

Why do you want everything?

Qiong glanced at the Black Tower.

Black Tower met Qiong's gaze without flinching, proudly raising its little head:

"Don't you have one of my dolls? Go find a room and give us the things in thirty minutes."

"Your doll doesn't have the corresponding module."

The sky remained unmoved.

"You can use your mouth."

Black Tower reminded him.
