Bab 106: Chapter 106: Meeting with Dudu
"Welcome to Schicksal Headquarters. Should I address you as Miss Haxxor Bunny or Miss Bronie for better formality?"
Just as they disembarked from the floating battleship, Mr. Otto stood grandly on the landing pad, and indeed, Bronie felt the highest treatment that Schicksal had to offer.
Even though they were high above in the sky, there was no feeling of oxygen deprivation. The sunlight was bright, seemingly filtered to reduce the strong ultraviolet rays.
"It doesn't matter; you can call me Miss Haxxor Bunny or Miss Bronie. 'Haxxor Bunny' is just a code name, an alias, and an achievement."
"Alright, Miss Haxxor Bunny, have you ever seen such scenery in the Sea of Quanta?" Otto gestured as if showing off the toys he had built. Everywhere his gaze fell upon was filled with futuristic architecture.
Though Bronie understood Mr. Otto's desire to show off, she just shook her head.
"Most of the worlds in the Sea of Quanta bubbles are composed based on information from the real world. Some are based on information from past civilizations, while others are based on current world history. Merely existing is already a miracle, and such wasteful floating islands wouldn't exist. After all, the situation within each world bubble varies, but one thing is consistent—resources."
Resources?
Otto could imagine the bizarre worlds within the Sea of Quanta bubbles. It's like when a random but systematic world turns into a world haphazardly put together with materials due to a bug. Exploring such worlds would be quite challenging.
"Although there are indeed some Ether Anchors within the Sea of Quanta that can sustain the existence of world bubbles, they are not entirely beneficial. Some Ether Anchors are like cancers of the world, continuously causing disasters within different world bubbles. In terms of specific capabilities, they can be considered as fully realized Herrschers, similar to Sirin."
Bronie's description was relatively conservative. After all, she hadn't seen many actual Ether Anchors. The Ether Anchor in Cyber Arc City were quite docile, just creating a massive barrier to completely enclose everyone.
"Thank you for the information. Here is the Valkyries' rest area. The headquarters of Schicksal also includes areas for Valkyries' training and living. Although, as you said, the floating island seems to waste resources, this isolated environment allows Valkyries to immerse themselves in what they want to do. Additionally, Schicksal's policy regarding the Honkai is to conceal it from the public as much as possible."
This high-tech facility not only keeps Honkai-related matters away from public view but also serves another purpose: deterrence. Otto didn't mention this explicitly, but Bronie understood.
When Schicksal's Sky Island quietly descends above the territory of another country, it's enough to intimidate anyone.
"Alright, I understand." Bronie listened attentively, though the existence of living quarters within Schicksal Headquarters did come as a surprise.
"How many active Valkyries are there?" "Although this is classified information within Schicksal, I guess what you want to ask is how many B-rank or higher Valkyries Schicksal currently has on the frontlines against the Honkai. My answer would be less than two thousand."
Less than two thousand? B-rank or higher Valkyries are the ones who can directly participate in combat, while C-rank Valkyries are mostly in logistics. But this number does seem quite low.
"So, does Schicksal rely on S-rank Valkyries to deal with stronger Honkai beasts, or does it send A-rank Valkyries to charge at them at the risk of death?"
"Although that's indeed the case, Schicksal is already developing advanced equipment to use on the battlefield against the Honkai. You know, Honkai always comes with the development of civilization and technological advancements, becoming increasingly powerful. But if you have any better ideas, you can certainly discuss them with me. Schicksal is willing to cooperate with others to fight the Honkai."
So, biotechnology doesn't count as technology? Such words are just to deceive children and Valkyries. Bronie certainly wouldn't believe that.
"Perhaps. But if they ever learn the truth one day, I'm afraid the one who'll bear the brunt of their anger will be your granddaughter. I suggest Miss Theresa play more online games to build up her resilience."
"Hahaha, alright, let's try to avoid discussing such topics. It may damage our relationship. This is Rita, Rita Rossweisse. She will be assisting Bianca Atagi, who will participate in the exploration of the Sea of Quanta next. She will take care of your daily life here at Schicksal, and also be your student. If you have any needs, you can always talk to Rita."
Rita also stepped forward, dressed in maid attire, her long hair covering one of her eyes. But upon seeing Bronie's arrival, Rita gave a warm smile.
"It's been a while~"
Last time we met was at the Schicksal Entertainment annual meeting, where Miss Rita led me to find Otto.
At the time, Bronie was suspecting whether that guy was Rita, but there was still a big difference between reality and the two-dimensional world.
Now, she could still enjoy the high-quality service of a perfect maid, which should feel quite nice.
"Long time no see. I'm Bronie, or you can call me Haxxor Bunny. Rita, what rank of Valkyrie are you?"
"You might be disappointed. I'm just an ordinary A-rank Valkyrie, without much strong power."
Indeed, in the Honkai-ridden world where Herrschers were everywhere, although Rita could be considered an S-rank Valkyrie, fundamentally, she was just an ordinary person.
Not much strong power? Only when facing Herrschers.
When dealing with other enemies, Rita wouldn't hold back, and her combat power was quite terrifying.
"Come on, even A-rank Valkyries can take down Emperor-level Honkai beasts. Don't say you're weak or anything like that. And reaching this level of strength without undergoing artificial stigmata experiments, you deserve to be called a genius."
"Rita gladly accepts Teacher Haxxor Bunny's praise. From now on, Rita will take care of Teacher Haxxor Bunny's daily life, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If there's any inadequacy, please feel free to point it out."
"Teacher Haxxor Bunny?"
"Do you have any questions? Bishop said you would teach us about the precautions and survival skills for exploring the Sea of Quanta, so it's only appropriate to call you 'teacher.'"
"Not really, I just find it curious. After doing so much at the orphanage, I was never called a teacher. It feels a bit novel."
"It seems that the children at the orphanage are very close to you, so they don't use that term."
"Well, sometimes they just like to call me 'big sister,' making it seem like I'm some kind of gang leader, even though I'm usually very peaceful."
Watching Haxxor Bunny's distressed expression, Rita chuckled lightly twice.
"So, are there many dangers in the Sea of Quanta?"
As Rita led her through Schicksal Headquarters, they soon arrived at a new floating island. With so many green plants, Bronie thought it looked like an airborne garden. In the center of the island was a huge villa, and such treatment indeed made Bronie feel a little stunned.
Well, Valkyries deserved it!
Valkyries charge into battle, fighting on the front lines. If even their treatment couldn't keep up, could Schicksal remain stable?
However, Bronie couldn't help but feel a little sentimental. To create a separate floating island as a living area, perhaps only that guy Otto could do such a thing.
This was a waste of money. It would be better to build more mechs to fight against the Honkai.
Perhaps there was a consideration that Valkyries hoped for a Herrscher on the human side to appear among them.
Who knows?
Entering the villa, dull thuds echoed from deep within. If one listened carefully, it sounded like someone hitting a punching bag?
"How dangerous can the Sea of Quanta be? From small insects that can be crushed with one hand to beings capable of destroying a planet individually, anything can appear inside. If you're unlucky enough to end up in a world bubble left behind by a previous civilization, you might even have to face a Herrscher."
"Have you experienced all of these?"
Rita was curious. According to what Bronie said, she had seen all of these things. It was because she knew about this that Otto began to take this matter seriously after she mentioned it to him.
"Only a small part. As for the civilizations before, I haven't encountered them much, but I have encountered individual beings capable of destroying planets. At that time, I didn't intend to confront them head-on, and fortunately, I wasn't noticed by them either."
As Bronie spoke, she projected the image of the Doomsday Beast. Although it was fake and looked so small, its battered body and the strange energy swirling around it seemed to indicate the extraordinary identity of this creature.
At the same time, Bronie also created a miniature figure of Rita as a reference for size comparison.
Looking at her own figure appearing so tiny in front of the Doomsday Beast, Rita probably understood the danger of the Sea of Quanta.
Could she defeat such a creature?
Rita felt that she couldn't even defeat Judgment-class Honkai beasts, let alone such giant dragons.
Although Rita never doubted Otto's decisions, this time she felt she was too careless.
"All right, Rita understands Teacher Haxxor Bunny's meaning. Rita will be very careful during the exploration of the Sea of Quanta."
"That thing is quite rare. After encountering it once, it's quite difficult to see it again, so don't worry about encountering such a thing. If I ever encounter it again in the future, I will definitely cut off its head and use it as decoration at home."
As she spoke, the sound of punching the punching bag grew louder.
Rita walked ahead and opened the door to the gym.
"Miss Bianka, Teacher Haxxor Bunny has arrived."
The girl wore a sports vest and was freely sweating as she attacked the punching bag.
After Rita's voice came, the girl named Bianka threw out a final punch, and the heavy punching bag suddenly flew up and smashed into the ceiling.
"You're the Sea of Quanta exploration mentor Otto Bishop invited for us? Why do you look so... young?"
Damn it!
She started by saying she was young. Did she really speak without thinking?!
"I'm young because I'm a genius who easily does things that others can't do. Making games, exploring the world, these things are not difficult for me at all."
Bronie believed her physical growth had been quite smooth. During this time working, she had already changed sizes for her underwear multiple times.
She often changed clothes, and the smaller ones were actually collected by Bronia. Occasionally, she could still see Bronia wearing her old clothes.
At that time, Bronie complained. Clearly, she wasn't short of money to buy new clothes, but Bronia said she had sensitive skin and found the worn clothes more comfortable.
Would Bronie believe such nonsense?
No, Bronie just felt that Bronia was developing towards a more dangerous direction, perhaps Cocolia did have some skills in educating her daughter?
"So, you're very powerful?"
Who knows what's going on in Bianka's head, suddenly asking if she's powerful or not.
But Bronie still stood tall and replied, "Of course, I'm very powerful! Without any ability, how could I explore the Sea of Quanta?"
"That's great! The Memorial Arena of Schicksal puts a heavy burden on the body. I've been unable to find many opponents, and Teacher Ragnar's body is no longer suitable for combat, so I hope to see your combat power!"
Compared to the stable Dumb Goose Bronie remembered, the girl in front of her seemed to be more lively. She immediately proposed a duel, and after thinking carefully, how many combatants could Dumb Goose have now?
"Miss Rita, Teacher Haxxor Bunny is still..."
"It's fine. My fighting style isn't about blood and sweat, and my weapons can be set to stun mode, so there won't be much damage."
"Great! Then follow me! But Teacher Haxxor Bunny... 'Haxxor Bunny' sounds really strange."
Bianka muttered to herself, and it happened to be heard by Bronie.
"Don't underestimate rabbits. Can you endure the humiliation of being knocked down by a rabbit? 'Haxxor Bunny' is just a code name. My real name is Bronie."
"I see! Aren't rabbits supposed to be cute with long ears?"
"Don't worry too much about code names. It seems that this simple training will only serve as a warm-up for you. Are you ready? Prepare yourself for the punishment from Haxxor Bunny."
Walking to the training ground, it was spacious all around, and Bronie could feel the sturdiness of the ground beneath her feet.
No need to worry about breaking the training ground or anything.
"Come on! Let me see how much power someone who can travel to different worlds really has!"
As she spoke, Bianka took out her pistols and loaded training bullets into them. While the attacks wouldn't cause fatal injuries, getting hit by them would still be very painful.
Then Bianka froze in place.
"Th-this is cheating! What is this!?"
Appearing in front of Bianka was a swarm of drones, like stirring up a hornet's nest, covering the sky and the earth.
Each one had a different shape, but the trajectory of each drone seemed so orderly.
But the more important point was that these drones seemed to appear out of thin air, and there were more and more of them.
"If everything in the world has its program, then I am the programmer using the programming language. Appreciate it well, this is magic from the world."

Bab 107: Chapter 107: Go for the Dudu Early
"The maintenance team is up and running, the guerrilla team is in action, next is the mockery team..."
Just as Bianka was curious about what the so-called mockery team was, Bronie projected a bunny-like robot. The little bunny hopped over to Bianka, its eyes glowing red.
"Enemy detected, activating mockery mode: Hello, idiot!"
The bunny's head suddenly deformed, and it fiercely shot an energy pulse at Bianka.
Because it was in a modulated stunning mode, the pulsating red light looked terrifying.
Sure enough, Bianka was startled.
"Your weapon even insults people!"
Next came the anger.
But before the anger could be vented, the drones of the guerrilla team began to attack!
Stealth, flank, blind spots, then strike!
It was at this moment that Little Bianka realized the cruelty of society.
If the stunning pulse was used against ordinary people, they would be stunned instantly. It was a special pulse that acted on the nervous system, with no aftereffects, guaranteed to stun.
But who knew what Bianka's body was made of.
Tough enough to withstand a stun pulse, Bianka staggered only twice, and she became even angrier.
"Angry, huh?"
Bronie continued to control the drones. At this time, a little Project Bunny appeared next to Bronie. Originally, this thing should have been something that Seele had after entering the Sea of Quanta, but well, it wasn't difficult to make.
Maybe Bronya would like it?
But it still needed to be tested.
"No, I understand now, Miss Bronie. You mean to say that in the Sea of Quanta, not only are there irrational monsters, but humans also need to be guarded against, right?"
No no no, she just wants to go for the Dudu early. Who knows if it will be easy to defeat her future battles.
But Bronie shamelessly admitted it.
"Yes, different worlds will have different people. No matter what, intelligent humans are even more dangerous, but monsters in the Sea of Quanta, as long as they are collapsed, are easy to deal with. Little Project Bunny!"
A seemingly larger robot swung its fists and charged at Bianka, who dodged hastily.
After losing the initiative in the battle, Bianka hardly had any chance to counterattack.
Bronie projected countless drones, calculating Bianka's muscle status through the computer's precise calculations and observing the drones to predict Bianka's actions.
So in the ensuing battle, Bianka was completely overwhelmed by Bronie's offensive rhythm.
Stimuli from attacks within the appropriate field of view could further guide Bianka's actions, which was Bronie's long-planned program against people.
"You call this a little bunny too?"
"How is it? Cute, right? Project Little Bunny that speaks with its fists. I can control its force. With maximum force, maybe it can really turn coal into diamonds with bare hands, so witness gravity in its unusual form!"
Although Bianka tried to control herself from taking off and carefully discerned the guerrilla bunny's sneak attacks during evasion, when the old force was not exhausted and the new force had not yet emerged, the subsequent actions of Project Bunny ended this battle completely.
A black hole, why would there be a black hole in the robot's hand?
Bianka couldn't figure it out, and when the two giant mechanical hands clenched into fists, her body flew uncontrollably in the direction of the mechanical arms.
During the process, she was hit by countless stunning pulses. By the time she reached the Project Bunny, Bianka, with little combat power left, saw what seemed like mechanical hands capable of crushing her head at any moment.
Coal turned into diamonds?
Her head wasn't that hard.
"You cheat!"
Although Bianka had considered the possibility of Bronie's actions before, this victory method was too sneaky!
Bianka was extremely unwilling, but she was also too sore to fight again.
With a snap of Bronie's fingers, all the drones disappeared, and she shrugged helplessly.
"Who made me just a poor, weak game developer? This is my fighting style. Or do you want to see something more magical? If it's magic, I can achieve that effect, but I'm not used to it."
"Tsk..."
Although very unwilling, Bianka really had no choice.
And this battle was not entirely Bronie's opportunism. The tight attacks of those drones made Bianka feel as if she had no control over her own body throughout the entire process.
Clearly, all of this was carefully calculated by Bronie. If every bullet fired by each drone was fatal, she would have died with the first shot.
"Fine, you win, but don't be too proud. I will definitely come back and win. I will train twice as hard, and one day I will surpass you!"
"Rather than believing that your combat ability can surpass the rate at which I grow, it's better to believe that the rate at which your physique grows will surpass mine," Bronie said, further infuriating Bianka.
It somewhat resembled the feeling of Kiana being driven to desperation by Bronya.
"Indeed...," Bianka murmured.
"What do you mean?" Bianka always felt like Bronie was comparing her to something undesirable.
"I mean your personality. It's very similar to a child in the orphanage I know. Maybe you two would have a lot to talk about. Look, her name is Kiana!" Bronie took out her phone, displaying a cute selfie of Kiana, complete with cat doodle effects.
Cute indeed, but it felt strange for a girl to have other girls' selfies in her phone. Group photos would have been more acceptable.
Oh well, Bianka couldn't be bothered to think deeply about it; she just lay down where she was.
So tired, the sudden and overwhelming attacks had left Bianka feeling dazed, and she was also hungry.
Rita seemed to notice this and came over to help Bianka up.
"It seems Lady Bianka might be a bit hungry. Rita will prepare some food for you. Lord Bunny, it's about time for dinner. Would you like to join us in the cafeteria or would you prefer to dine in your room?"
Rita's consideration was quite thoughtful, but Bronie also felt that Otto wouldn't harm her in such matters.
If he were really poisoned, she could contact Mobius remotely for guidance on detoxification. As for the detoxification substances, she could simply project them. But what benefit would there be in harming herself?
Bronie couldn't think of any, so he wasn't afraid.
Rita's dinner was quite sumptuous, mostly consisting of Western dishes like Italian or French cuisine. Now that she thought about it, it wasn't surprising to have such dishes at the headquarters in the Mediterranean.
After all, Italy was known for its cuisine, and Rita's dishes were quite exotic to Bronie.
Bianka fully utilized her Kaslana family bloodline traits, with a high appetite, but because of her good education, her dining manners were much more elegant than Kiana's.
It was cute to see Bianka stuffing food into her mouth while trying to maintain her composure.
After dinner, Bronie casually talked about some game plots, passing them off as experiences in the Sea of Quanta.
Bianka seemed to fully realize how dangerous it was to explore the Sea of Quanta. So after dinner, she even disciplined herself to run a few laps around the floating island.
Bronie couldn't bear to watch anymore, as she didn't enjoy this kind of boring training, nor did she fight like Bianka in close combat. So after dinner, Bronie returned to the room Otto had prepared for her.
In theory, the headquarters of Schicksal were almost isolated from the outside world, and if he used the internet, Otto would surely monitor her.
But this little trick wouldn't cause her any trouble.
"Hey! Elysia, guess where I am right now?"
Bronie felt like she hadn't contacted Elysia in a while, and since he had greeted Bronya and the others earlier in the evening, the orphanage wouldn't have any issues for a short while, so tonight Bronie chose to indulge Elysia.
Well, "indulge" sounded a bit strange, but it had been almost a month since Bronie last contacted Elysia.
"Although I have no idea where you are, I care more about whether Bronie has grown a bit recently!" Elysia's smile was as captivating as ever.
She never changed her appearance and was always warm to others.
Every interaction with her was a kind of mental training, just like now.
Elysia always liked to mention things that Bronie didn't want to face.
"Just a month, how much change can you see?" Bronie wanted to end this topic, but as soon as she said that, Elysia took out photos of Bronie from several years ago.
"Look! You used to be so tiny, but now you're such a charming young lady! Flower buds always suddenly bloom, and when you realize it, the most beautiful moment of the flower is already before you. Now that I think about it, Bronie, you're almost mature, aren't you?"
Twenty years old, nearing the end of adolescence, with a body that couldn't be concealed by loose clothes and no fragility caused by deliberate dieting. And that mature posture with hair cascading down.
But Bronie was slightly wary of Elysia's fleeting gaze, akin to that of a predator eyeing its prey.
"I don't care, I'm still going to celebrate Children's Day! No one can stop me from getting a children's meal that day! No one!"
"Then... do you want Mobius to help? If you really like that petite body..."
"Forget it."
Bronie instantly lost interest.
Growing up was growing up, and it hadn't reached the point where it affected her daily activities.
She could still see her feet when he looked down, but lately, she had been changing her underwear quite diligently.
To be honest, feeling like you're still growing at twenty is a late-stage feeling.
Bronie even wondered if her growth issues were caused by the long hours spent sitting in the office.
"That can you tell the lovely Miss Elf where the little bunny sister has gone?"
Bronie wasn't sure why she didn't want to deal with her own growth, but it probably had something to do with the lack of family companionship.
Bronie had always played the role of caring for children, but she rarely felt cared for by others.
Elysia was still very concerned about Bronie's mental state.
Bronie suddenly remembered why she had contacted Elysia.
She then sent over many photos she had secretly taken.
There were pictures of Otto, of the floating battleship, and of the whole floating island.
Of course, there were also pictures of Little Bianka training diligently, and Rita in her maid outfit, her slender figure outlined by the black stockings.
"Wow! What are the names of those two girls, they're so cute! And that blonde girl looks so serious and cute!"
Indeed, if you present Elysia with beautiful girls, you'll win her favor.
If there's an impart in the future, you'll surely have a seat.
"She's Bianka, a child picked up by the Archbishop of Schicksal. She grew up in an orphanage and aspired to become a Valkyrie to fight against the Honkai. She's currently undergoing rigorous training at Schicksal Headquarters. This is Rita, Bianka's adjutant assigned by Otto."
Schicksal, the large organization fighting against the Honkai, inherited many technologies from the previous civilization and has developed into the most important organization in human civilization.
Of course, the organization's influence spans almost the entire globe, and if Otto wants to, he could likely control the whole world.
Compared to Fire Moth without Dr. Mei controlling it, it must be much more powerful.
Such girls would be sent to the front lines to fight against the Honkai, and Elysia couldn't help but feel a wave of pity.
"Honestly, that Archbishop of Schicksal is a terrible person, letting such young girls go to the front lines. But if that's Bianka's wish, I can't say much. But then again, Bronie, are you finally thinking of joining Schicksal to fight against the Honkai? Otherwise, why would you come to a place like this?"
Although the floating island was indeed impressive, according to the technology of the previous era, it wasn't impossible to create a floating island.
It's just that the cost of maintenance was too high!
"That's because Otto is preparing to explore the Sea of Quanta, but he's afraid of unforeseen dangers inside, so he spent a lot of money to invite me to come and provide guidance. If I complete this job, maybe I'll have enough resources."
Bronie still hoped that everyone from Elysian Realm could come out.
It was also thanks to the materials sponsored by Otto that Vill-V was able to create a body almost identical to real steel, and even optimize various algorithms of memory.
"Oh, that's good to hear. If Bronie wants to find me because he likes me, I'll be even happier!"
Truly, Elysia!
"Busy lately, making games. Planning to make a fighting game next, and also a horror game. The workload on both sides is definitely not low."
"Are you happy?" Elysia asked.
"Of course, being able to make more games to bring more joy to everyone, I'm very happy."
"Then when I come out, can I make games with you? Would you like to have a beautiful girl like me as a suggestion for the orphanage?"
"...I don't mind... but I'm not sure about Bronya, Black Seele, or Seele, and Sirin easily gets upset, and there's not enough space for her to vent her anger."
Seeing Bronie's hesitant expression, Elysia knew there was hope!
"Then it's settled! And since I'm so pretty, the kids definitely won't reject me! So don't worry when the time comes!"
"Alright, as long as you don't suddenly get tied up in a sack and have your legs broken."
Bronie thought the only ones capable of doing these things were Seele and Black Seele, and maybe even Bronya. In any case, she hoped the future of the orphanage would be more stable.
