Chapter 108: The Quantum Shadow in the Memorial Arena

When night falls, Schicksal descends into an unexpected quietness.

Apart from some patrolling robots, almost everyone has returned to the living area to rest.

As for concerns about Schicksal being invaded?

Otto would sooner believe Bronie is Qin Shihuang than entertain the idea of any organization daring to invade Schicksal.

The only possible invaders would be those who have defected from within Schicksal, but does his granddaughter, Delisa, possess such audacity?

Of course not.

However, today is also a sleepless night for Otto.

It's not because he's engrossed in playing games, even though he hasn't saved Zelda yet.

The main reason is witnessing the battle between Bronie and Bianka.

Although it was expected that Bianka wouldn't stand a chance against Bronie, who can traverse the Sea of Quanta and come to the real world, Otto allowed the two to spar mainly to help Bianka realize that there are always greater powers out there.

After all, she seems to be a bit arrogant sometimes.

But who would have thought Bronie's fighting style would be so familiar!

Yes, familiar. It's almost like she's about to say that line. "Witness the shattering of the stars!" "In the name of the world..."

Back in his room, Otto tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

The training room was already equipped with various testing instruments, but only detected subtle fluctuations in imaginary numbers.

There was no Honkai. And those drones, they were indeed real, and then unknowingly dissolved.

Could it be that the leader of the Entropy Alliance turned into a cute girl and came over to cause trouble? Otto thought it was unlikely, but Bronie's fighting style was indeed unforgettable for Otto.

"Amber, how's the data analysis going?"

Although Bronie's room doesn't have surveillance, other areas of the living area do. Looking at Bronie's usual demeanor and the personality model she had built up, it really didn't match Welt's personality.

But Otto still wasn't quite at ease.

"Reporting, Overseer, all the data shows that these drones are indeed real, even the electromagnetic signals exist. However, there's still no conclusion on how these drones appear and disappear, and Miss Nagamitsu also insists on keeping Miss Haxxor Bunny here."

This ability can be said to be very similar to the Herrscher of Reason, but Bronie once said that she's a programmer who edits world languages, perhaps this is just one way she uses her abilities?

But this is a bit too far-fetched.

Honestly, as a scientist who has been studying for nearly five hundred years, Otto has seen a lot of things, and even relies on his own research to make a big deal out of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.

But this kind of ability to create everything is simply too absurd.

So Otto is determined to study it thoroughly.

There are so many unsolved mysteries in the world, and nothing has ever been so attractive.

Because Otto sees the potential.

If he can understand the principle, can't he directly find Kallen's data from the world's data, and then copy and paste it over, even if it's considered a successful resurrection?

Didn't Amber say that? These drones look real, they act real, and from all aspects of data observation, they are indeed real!

"The world has its own programming language, and is Haxxor Bunny that hacker? No wonder Haxxor Bunny calls herself a hacker, if this ability is true..."

Otto clenched his fist tightly, but then sat back on his sofa as if giving up.

"Amber, you should leave first. Don't provoke Haxxor Bunny. My plan will proceed as usual, but Haxxor Bunny's matter will be put aside for now. I'll treat Haxxor Bunny properly in the future."

Take a tough stance?

Otto is not that stupid. Dealing with someone with power, the best way is to use emotions and interests, rather than force.

Maybe his previous attitude had already lowered Haxxor Bunny's favorability, and the changes in his Void Archives were just a small warning.

So Otto dared not act recklessly, nor did he dare to easily deal with Haxxor Bunny, and in the end, he could only figure out a way to make Haxxor Bunny get along better with Bianka.

When their relationship improves, everything will naturally fall into place. Of course, he also needs to act decently, so that he can at least become friends with Miss Haxxor Bunny.

Looking back, Bronie has indeed grown quite fast. The last time they met was about a year ago, and before he knew it, she's almost become a young lady.

It's just that time doesn't seem to affect Otto much, so he finds it hard to grasp the passage of time.

"Lord Otto, please pay more attention to the time and don't get too immersed in playing games to forget to rest."

Suddenly, Otto felt a bit tense.

He's quite disciplined, you know!

Games are just for leisure. It's been almost a month since Zelda was released, and he's still on the quest to save her.

Is this a situation that arises from intense gaming?

Of course not!

"I have important experiments lately. How could I forget to rest because of playing games? I can distinguish between work and rest."

"Lord Otto, Amber here advises you not to touch the game console at all!"

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

...

To be honest, Bronie never expected that staying overnight in the Valkyrie's living area of Schicksal would result in waking up so early.

At six in the morning, Bronie was awakened by the commotion downstairs in the training room where Bianka was. And when she opened her eyes, she heard Rita knocking on the door.

Bronie used to stay up until midnight and usually didn't get up until seven or eight in the morning.

Last night, she chatted with Elysia for quite a while, and then Eden joined in, discussing many art-related issues, especially music.

Miss Eden spoke eloquently about rock music, effortlessly mentioning music theory knowledge.

Bronie learned a lot and even planned to apply it in games. Guilty Gear requires a lot of rock elements, plus some lyrics with religious connotations, emphasizing rebellion and excitement.

As a result, they chatted until three in the morning. Maybe there's also a circadian rhythm issue involved?

"Miss Haxxor Bunny, breakfast is ready. Would you like milk or coffee?"

"Milk, please. I'm not a fan of coffee."

"It seems you share the same preference as Lady Bianka!"

Although Haxxor Bunny seems to be slightly older than me, her taste is childish, which makes Rita feel quite familiar.

It's hard to imagine this is the real Haxxor Bunny.

On the internet, the fame of Haxxor Bunny moves every once in a while, sometimes causing a commotion.

The Mario series has released many games, making people wonder if Haxxor Bunny is just planning to rely on the classics and not create new games.

But Rita also knows that such games, like works of art, cannot be rushed. Storylines, visuals, music, performances, all need careful polishing.

The Legend of Zelda game has already pushed the boundaries, and honestly, Rita can't imagine what new elements the next game will bring.

And what Bronie previews is another fight.

Well, that's not really Rita's thing.

Rita prefers something cuter, like Kirby.

After lamenting for a while, Rita waited patiently for Bronie to finish washing up, but Bronie came out in less than ten minutes.

"So fast!"

Rita couldn't help but marvel. Did Bronie just walk out without even grooming herself?

No, she changed her clothes and even styled her hair, which didn't seem like she didn't groom herself.

This time, Bronie tied her hair into a neat ponytail, with a drill on it, retaining some of its original flavor.

"In fact, I made a program specifically for dressing up, but unfortunately, only I can use it. So I can't share it with you."

"It seems that Miss Haxxor Bunny also practices her abilities in daily life."

She looks completely different from Lady Bianka, who often complains.

Different people have different fighting styles, which naturally determine how they train.

Although Lady Bianka complains that Bronie looks a bit lazy, using her abilities in daily life is also a kind of diligence, isn't it?

"How can you walk in the Sea of Quanta without any ability?" Bronie emphasized this once again.

Rita also nodded in agreement.

"Lady Bianka is more straightforward, so she doesn't think about so many things. So, Miss Haxxor Bunny, are you planning to start teaching next?"

"I've heard that Schicksal has an advanced Memorial Arena system, so I thought I'd give it a try. But let's wait for Bianka to finish her morning practice first. Let's have breakfast first."

Bianka had already had breakfast, and it was the high-calorie kind. But was Rita worried that she would gain weight because of this? Rita carefully calculated Bianka's exercise volume, so high-calorie food wouldn't make her gain weight.

And maybe Haxxor Bunny's teaching afterwards would be tiring, so Rita would have to adjust her menu based on the actual training situation.

While Bronie was having breakfast, Rita informed Bianka of this.

It always feels like this comprehensive care will turn Bianka into someone who doesn't use her brain much.

Rita has a knack for raising others, and Bronie couldn't help but feel a little envious. Wouldn't it be nice to have such a maid by her side?

How about leaving a spot for Rita and Bianka when they move to the little island made by Cioara? This way, she could also enjoy Rita's maid service?

Hmm, that's something to consider, but also considering that Elysia might suddenly put on a maid outfit and then bother her. After all, Elysia is capable of doing such things.

Bronie don't know how long it took, but as soon as Bronie finished her last sip of milk, Rita brought Bianka over.

"Although the Memorial Arena can almost fully simulate the data of the Honkai Beasts, those things are all formed from various observation data of Schicksal. It's your first day here. Are you really okay?"

Bianka's face showed disbelief, but Bronie just shrugged.

"Who said I'm a genius? And Otto has traded relevant knowledge with me before. It's no problem for me to input new data into Schicksal's Memorial Arena. And I have even simpler and more brutal methods."

"Directly connect to the Memorial Arena and extract the enemies you've encountered from your memories? Although this kind of subjective data may be somewhat distorted, it can also be supplemented by later data."

Bianka's grades are actually not bad, and she even gets full marks on theoretical classes. It's just that she's usually pampered by Rita and doesn't like to use her brain. If it were Kiana, she would definitely know nothing. This contrast makes Bronie's blood pressure rise a bit.

What to do?

She can just let Kiana be happy.

"I won't let you guys read my memories, but data is my specialty. Even if I pull out all the bosses from the Elden Ring, I can do it! Although I feel that Otto won't allow me to do so."

Hearing it was Elden Ring, Bianka suddenly became excited.

That's right, although Bianka is very disciplined, she occasionally plays games during her rest time. Of course, she spends more time boxing in the arena for a quick bout or two. But when there are no skilled opponents and it's really boring, Bianka will go back home and pick up the game.

Bianka still vaguely remembers Rita holding this game, saying that it can also serve as training. But she was frustrated by the various traps in the dungeon and almost smashed her controller. But later, she was attracted by the handsome bosses inside and left a deep impression.

If she could really challenge the bosses inside, Bianka is confident that she won't be as clumsy as the Tarnished! Although that's easy to say, the premise is that she can really encounter them!

"Can you really bring them out! I'll tell Bishop right away. He should allow me to be a little willful! Especially to bring out Malenia!"

Actually, the plot of the Blade of Miquella in Elden Ring is quite subtle. Self-destructing if she can't win, and even contaminating a large area of land after self-destructing. Although her past experiences are quite tragic, her resolute spirit has touched many people.

It's just that what she did before wasn't very likable.

But it seems that Bianka still likes her quite a bit?

"Um... next time for sure. For now, let me explain some of the most common creatures in the Sea of Quanta. They're much more dangerous than Honkai Beasts, and they require special handling methods. Let's start with the simplest ones, the Quantum Shadows. Remember their weaknesses and avoid being at a disadvantage in front of them."

As she spoke, they arrived at the Memorial Arena, with Otto also watching nearby, seemingly curious about what kind of creatures exist in the Sea of Quanta.

Then Bronie stepped up to the control panel and handed the USB drive to Amber.

"Be careful from now on, little sister Bianka~"
