Chen Ran is living his days in an orderly manner, and 666 is no exception.
According to 666's calculations, as long as it continues training in Fire Moth's first squad for another two to three years, developing the human muscle modules to their limits, the success rate of becoming a MANTIS will greatly increase.
While it is hosting Chen Ran's body, it is also considering how to use biological knowledge to modify its own body to better adapt to Honkai, so that it can survive in future MANTIS transformation technology.
However, the identity of the first squad restricts its abilities.
After all, Chen Ran's identity is that of a warrior, and he spends most of his time training. For 666, which already knows about MANTIS, the current physical training of a warrior is simply incomparable.
This means it has to spend over twelve hours a day on projects with little return.
Unfortunately, this investment is mandatory.
It's like a certain '1040 Sunshine Project.'
For 666, if host Chen Ran encounters problems, it will also face issues. Then it will have to confront the Honkai Simulator 667.
So, even if Kevin raises objections, it still turns the dormitory into a small laboratory.
Just as it finishes a day of training and plans to return to the dormitory to tinker with things, suddenly a strange woman calls out to him.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Ran."
"I am a member of the First Research Institute, currently serving as Dr. Mobius's assistant. Is it convenient to talk?"
...
Using higher-level permissions from the Fire Moth intranet, Blanca quickly finds Chen Ran.
She has investigated Chen Ran's information and found that he has not used any Fire Moth medications but has instead concocted his own. Blanca begins to mix based on his anonymous papers and discovers that while the effects are not as good as those of Mobius's concoctions, they have almost no side effects.
Moreover, the effects of the medications Chen Ran concocted do not diminish over time compared to those made by Mobius.
In essence, it is a matter of sacrificing time to reduce side effects.
Fire Moth does not lack warriors, so Mobius does not worry too much about efficiency. But Blanca is different.
Because her husband, Ato, is an outstanding Fire Moth warrior.
Blanca arranges to meet 666 in a break room within Fire Moth.
Unlike the distinctly characterized Mobius, she is actually more gentle in nature.
"Sorry to intrude on your time, but I have some questions I would like to ask you..."
In the next thirty minutes, she begins to assess 666's knowledge reserves.
666 also responds to Blanca.
The biological knowledge from the next civilization is actually not lacking compared to the present. The actual differences between the two eras lie in the understanding of Honkai, while in other fields, there is not much difference.
Thus, Blanca is surprised to find that this eighteen-year-old boy who joined Fire Moth is actually a hidden talent.
At least this boy's knowledge reserves are sufficient for ordinary research institute work.
With a little training, further advancement is not impossible.
Thinking of this, she cannot help but ask: "Mr. Chen Ran, have you considered joining the First Research Institute?"
666 does not hold back: "It would be my honor."
——
"Chen Ran, do you know? My current physical condition is very optimistic."
After coming out of the experimental pod for the physical examination, Wendy excitedly chatters to Chen Ran beside her: "They said the rejection phenomenon between my body and the Herrscher Core has lessened. If the rejection phenomenon completely disappears, I will become the first artificial Herrscher."
"At that time, I can stand up again and have the chance to catch up to Durandal."
As a genius, Wendy naturally possesses the pride and goals of a genius.
Durandal is the target she pursues.
This is also the reason she agreed to the Herrscher Core infusion experiment.
Essentially, the Herrscher Core infusion experiment is about allowing humans to steal the powers of gods, which is the core of the Divine Authority Project.
Once the plan succeeds, Wendy will gain the authority of the Herrscher, and at that time, surpassing Durandal is not without hope.
Chen Ran looks at the joy on Wendy's face and feels happy for her as well.
He suddenly thinks that the rewards given by the system are quite good.
After all, it is biological knowledge, which means he actually has the opportunity to help Wendy stand up.
"Okay, then you need to prepare well next, master the Herrscher's power, and directly storm the headquarters to challenge the Immortal Blades."
His expression is exaggerated, mimicking a novel from Shenzhou: "Only to see the black whirlwind Wendy arrive at Schicksal Headquarters, demanding Durandal to come out and meet."
"Vice-admiral Rita steps out first, shouting: 'Who goes there, and what is your business?'"
"Wendy scoffs, 'I'm here to challenge.'"
Then, he gets poked in the arm by Wendy: "Stop it, how can you arrange me like that? I'm not that kind of villain."
Chen Ran casually jokes: "Don't be a villain, then that's fine, I'll change it."
"Only to see in the training ground of the Immortal Blades, after Durandal single-handedly takes on all the Immortal Blades, she sighs, 'None of you are my opponents; who in the world can fight me today?'"
"Rita supports from the side, hearing that the Ocean Branch Valkyrie named Wendy has mastered the authority of the gods, she is the number one in the world."
"Durandal, filled with ambition: 'Good, after I send out my challenge, I will head to the Ocean Branch.'"
"The news reaches Wendy's ears in the Ocean Branch, and everyone is fearful. Wendy boldly declares: 'Durandal is but a child; with the Herrscher's authority in hand, I will ensure she returns empty-handed.'"
Wendy laughs so hard she nearly falls over.
"Pfft, how much prejudice do you have against me and Durandal? But it's quite interesting."
Although she knows that what Chen Ran is saying is just to make her laugh, the thought of that scene makes Wendy unable to hold back.
"If Durandal knew how you arranged her, no, that would be too funny."
She says: "Being a researcher really is a bit of a grievance for you."
"Yeah, I also think so. If I change careers to write novels in the future, remember to support me. The title of the book will be 'Wendy vs. Durandal.'" Chen Ran's lips also can't help but curl into a smile.
Wendy says: "At that time, I'll buy a copy for everyone in the Immortal Blades."
The two exchange glances and share a laugh.
However, what Chen Ran does not know at this moment is that there is a special instrument on Wendy that can monitor her body data at all times.
This instrument syncs with the Ocean Branch's computer terminal, and the lead researcher records the fluctuations in the data.
"Doctor, the symptoms of rejection between the host and the Herrscher Core continue to lessen. If this continues, our plan is highly likely to succeed."
"Reason?"
The lead researcher says: "I want to know what exactly is causing the symptoms to lessen?"
The researcher instinctively replies: "I don't know, but according to the records, it seems to be related to mood. The problem should lie with researcher Chen Ran."
At this moment, their conversation is overheard by a researcher hiding in the shadows.
