Chapter 269: Chapter 28: Drawing Parallels
"Strange... logically, there should be a reward prompt after completing the 'Elysian Realm,' right? Why hasn't there been any response yet?" Luo Lin stared at her blinking system panel, perplexed.
"System, are you stuck?"
[Indeed.] The system checked and responded with some frustration: [Ihe specific reason is that you didn't follow the normal process. After the trial settlement, you directly teleported back to the Elysian Realm lounge room with Elysia instead of continuing to explore the Elysian Realm through other portals.]
Luo Lin lifted her head, watching Elysia carrying a large piece of purple crystal, within which was the "Floating Detection Tank" that was previously floating.
In order to maintain its condition, Miss Pink Elf directly sealed the device with crystal and effortlessly carried it on her shoulder...
In short, the scene was quite impressive.
After passing through a dozen portals, the two returned to Mobius's laboratory.
Elysia placed the crystal at the entrance of the laboratory and wiped away nonexistent sweat: "Ah, I'm really exhausted..."
Luo Lin astutely retrieved chilled drinks from the system warehouse and handed one to Miss Pink Elf. "This is quite popular in the Far East... um, I mean, in Shenzou..."
"Oh? I remember you saying that Hua spent a long time in the Shenzou... Is this a specialty from her hometown?"
The highly saturated colors of black, yellow, and blue, which could create "exquisite" illustrations with just a Word document, shocked Miss Pink Elf, who had been influenced by the aesthetics of artists like Eden, Grace, and Vill-V for fifty thousand years.
"This..." Elysia held the coconut juice, struggling to find words to describe her feelings.
"This stuff is quite tasty, highly recommended."
Seeing Luo Lin's sincere expression, Miss Pink Elf opened the canned drink, took a sip cautiously, and then her eyes lit up. "It's really delicious!"
"Wow, why has my device turned into this!"
Vill-V rushed out of the laboratory. She looked at the "Floating Tank" wrapped in crystal, its appearance miserable. She was as shocked as Elysia. "Miss Luo Lin, what's going on?"
The Valkyrie subtly averted her gaze. "It just got caught in the crossfire..."
Elysia waved her hand, and the crystal quickly dissolved in the air. Several mechanical arms extended from behind Vill-V, starting to handle the battered device.
A few minutes later, the engineer extracted a dark spherical module from the wreckage. After carefully inspecting it, she breathed a sigh of relief. "The data storage module is relatively intact. It seems our exploration this time wasn't in vain."
Luo Lin could only smile awkwardly.
"Alright, come in quickly. While exporting the data, we'll also ask you some questions to help us better analyze this data."
The group entered the laboratory, where Mobius was busy typing on a console looking very busy.
As for Raven, she somehow found a lollipop and was sucking on it, her white stick bobbing up and down, looking very bored.
After all, the mercenary lady didn't have a high education attainment, so she couldn't muster much interest in the experimental data and samples around her.
"Ah, you're back?" Raven glanced at Luo Lin. "Looks like your 'trial' was successful?"
"Yeah, it went pretty smoothly this time... I still have some drinks left. Want one?"
"Ah, where did you get this from? What an ugly can..."
While the two were talking, Vill-V uploaded the collected data into the laboratory system.
Mobius was waiting for this data. She moved her hands swiftly, tapping on the keyboard with a lively rhythm, and streams of dense charts and characters rapidly scrolled down from the top of the screen.
For normal people, this speed of data was too fast, but for Mobius and Vill-V, it was just right. They easily found the clues they needed.
Vill-V pulled up the recorded videos and asked Luo Lin what she was doing at the time and what effects were triggered. After some thought, the Valkyrie answered each question one by one.
Looking at the figure on the screen, Luo Lin even doubted if that was really herself.
"Wow, am I really this cool? It looks so thrilling... impressive!"
The Valkyrie felt a bit emotional, recalling the trembling she felt when facing ordinary zombies at the beginning of her journey.
Now, she could shuttle through gunfire without changing her expression, looking very heroic and decisive, while showing formidable strength at a glance.
She now truly qualified as a Valkyrie of Schicksal.
I've grown a lot...
Luo Lin's lips couldn't help but curl up, feeling a bit more relaxed.
Of course, this was also a stereotype. Not all Valkyries of Schicksal were like this, just like Susanna... how should she put it, she was more of a burden to the logistics department.
But who could blame her for being a second-generation rich lady? With a truly wealthy family, this was also a part of her strength.
"Obtained the 'Ego' Signet? As expected, Elysia really likes you." Vill-V shook her head, quite calm.
As the Valkyrie's thoughts slightly converged, Vill-V had finished her questioning. She and Mobius were busy organizing the data while occasionally whispering a few words.
Mobius murmured softly, "Data that only highlights during intense battles... Little White Mouse, it seems you'll have to undergo more trials in the future."
Vill-V gritted her teeth, "I'll consider strengthening the shield. This won't happen again next time! Luo Lin, just wait!"
"Ah, well..."
But "Stygian Nymph" in the Elysian Realm wasn't originally the kind of character with very high output...
Luo Lin scratched her head nervously, knowing that Vill-V would probably encounter more detection devices in the future.
"As I expected, this is very similar to the base logic of the so-called 'weapon effects' before..."
Mobius's slender snake pupils flashed with light. It had been a long time since she had conducted such research full of unknowns.
How could she not let the soul of the Serpent's research burn fiercely?
Vill-V also nodded, supporting her chin. "Yes, very interesting... the extremely subtle energy transfer trajectory, after a series of tiny reactions, is amplified and manifested in reality... this mysterious reaction is just like... rules."
The Expert chuckled, "It looks familiar, Mobius. Have you thought of something?"
Snake also smiled, "Haha, I know what you're thinking... we've also encountered similar things, which are equally incredible and even incomprehensible..."
The two looked at each other and said in unison, "The Authority of the Herrscher!"
