Honkai energy is of course also transformed from imaginary internal energy—it's just different.
Theoretically speaking, Qingque should not possess much power.
Although her abilities are indeed outstanding, how could a sparrow who is always busy stealing moments of leisure possibly have the ambition to hone the power of her 'destiny'?
With her natural talent for navigating and her sensitivity to energy, Jiang Qiao managed to uncover the power contained within this not-so-powerful body.
The path to [pleasure] begins!
A pleased smile curved the girl's lips—the power in this body was not as great as any of the bodies she had used before, but for her, she didn't need too much power, just enough.
"Alright, let's start touching!"
Compared to previous combat systems, the power of pleasure is not so direct, but it is indeed full of fun, to the point that 'Blue Sparrow' can actually use 'stacked combat skills' like in the game.
One touch—'Got it!'
Second touch – “Don’t panic”
The third touch—"Oh ho—"
"Bong!"
'Qingque's' smile was incredibly radiant at that moment.
She suddenly threw the small mahjong set in her hand.
The simple act of throwing – this is the oldest form of combat for humankind.
The object of the attack was merely an inconspicuous 'Imperial Jade Tablet'.
So ordinary that Alicia couldn't help but wonder—could this bad guy be acting like her?
What's the point of throwing a small stone? It's not as good as me shooting an arrow!
Qianjie also shared the same idea.
Out of curiosity, she let the other person do as they pleased.
But this? Just this? A small stone?
You can easily flick something like that away!
"have you had enough!"
Enraged, Qianjie immediately intended to smash the broken mahjong tiles away, but the moment she touched them, the whole scene seemed to slow down; she watched helplessly as the mahjong tiles came hurtling towards her, and then—
"boom--!"
The terrifying force sent her flying, crashing heavily into the wall and collapsing countless rooms before she landed at the feet of Sakura and Neko, who had rushed over. Alicia's delicate face, which had been unconcerned, froze instantly.
...What the heck?
"Call it a day~"
Seeing the effect, 'Blue Sparrow' nodded in satisfaction.
The power of 'pleasure' is something with a very strong 'leverage', and therefore—he used the Imperial Jade Tablet as its vessel, and after achieving a 'leverage', he could exchange it for extremely terrifying power. Of course, there are also drawbacks. After this, his body was completely pulverized, with not a drop left.
It looks ordinary, simply because all its power is contained within.
Moreover, the other party was quite foolish, actually taking the hit head-on without even taking any precautions, even though Jiang Qiao was just testing the power.
"Is this the end?"
Faced with Alicia's disbelief, the girl in blue chuckled and said:
“Yeah... Oh, she seems to have a strong will to live, she might still be able to move, but my strength is almost exhausted, so I'll leave her to you, Sakura.”
"..."
Sakura looked speechless—Who are you?
Upon closer inspection, she looked somewhat familiar... but she didn't remember ever seeing a girl like that before. However, because Alicia was nearby, she did as she was told.
“,,,?”
'Blue Sparrow's' gaze shifted to the white-haired girl beside Pado. He approached her curiously and looked her over.
How did that white fluffy dumpling end up in the pre-apocalyptic era?!
Jiang Qiao was a little puzzled—he remembered that chat groups shouldn't have the ability to bring people along.
He glanced at Alicia with a puzzled look, while she shrugged innocently.
Hey, where did this white fluffy thing come from?
...Hiss, could this unlucky kid be the predecessor of that Herrscher of the End who appeared on the moon?
Recalling the 'Herrscher of the End' that appeared in the manga, 'Blue Sparrow' raised an eyebrow at 'Kia'.
Led by Pado, they returned to the lower levels.
The core issue remains the same—this did not surprise Jiang Qiao.
After all, apart from Herrschers and Honkai creatures... even low-level Honkai creatures don't have the ability to come into contact with this thing. The Herrscher core, just being exposed to the outside world, is no less than a walking nuclear bomb.
Moving it quickly is not an easy task.
but--
"Sacrifice the pawn to save the king?"
Staring at the core of the Herrscher of Reason, 'Blue Sparrow' stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Sakura and Alicia's arrival undoubtedly proves that headquarters has its eyes on the Herrscher core. If they leave with the core, they will face the full-scale pursuit of the organization 'Fire Moth'.
If that happens, even if the European leadership puts in a strong effort, it won't make a difference.
Humanity cannot accept the 'Herrscher Core' falling into the hands of an unknown organization.
"Jiang Qiao, come and see!"
Hearing Alicia's voice, the girl walked over.
That was a laboratory connected to this storage room—its furnishings were very similar to the hall we entered, except that it contained only one culture tank.
Looking up, it was completely empty.
'Blue Sparrow' crouched down and touched the water stains.
"Not long."
After tentatively licking it with her tongue, Jiang Qiao made a judgment—"It's a girl."
"Does it taste good?"
Faced with the overweight woman staring at her with a wide smile, the girl's gaze darted around.
"What's so good about nutrient solution?"
She didn't try it out of curiosity about what it tasted like, yeah, that's all.
Looking at Jiang's hypocritical words, Alicia smiled subtly—but her puffed-out cheeks betrayed her true feelings.
If there weren't other people around, she probably would have given this bad guy a good 'lesson' for licking other girls' 'bathwater'!
"Any other gains?"
The girl shifted her gaze elsewhere, her face serious.
"Have."
"what?"
"We found a clock, hehe!"
Pado chuckled and pointed to a small screen that had been flipped open.
This is what she found by rummaging through a locked little door.
A countdown timer is flashing above.
【00: 09】
"..."
Jiang Qiao had to admit that she had indeed gained a lot.
...
A beautiful day naturally begins in the morning.
After yesterday's hard work, the extra work assigned by the old lady Tai Bu has been efficiently handled to the point where one can "live a leisurely life".
—Of course, let's just forget about work!
Upon waking from her dream, Qingque had no desire to think about those troublesome things. Rather than her hated work, she preferred to recall yesterday's 'Imperial Jade Tablet' game.
Unfortunately, my luck wasn't very good yesterday.
But Little Sparrow never gives up, after all—life is like a gamble.
Yesterday's luck was bad, but who knows, today's luck might just be off the charts!
This is a big gamble, my friend!
In short, Qingque couldn't wait to start today's high-stakes gamble.
