People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

At this moment, the state similar to "sage time" caused by the endowment of the true self imprint also slowly faded away.

Xia Ling's face flushed again.

Compared to before, Ai Li's body was now closer to her, and one of her hands was even on her chest.

So cute... Ai Li looked at Xia Ling, who had turned into a steam princess like a cooked shrimp under her, and couldn't help but wonder what her reaction would be if she kissed her at this moment.

Ai Li has always been very proactive. Now that she has such an idea, she must put it into practice.

Ai Li slowly raised her head from Xia Ling's ear, watched the pink hair brush across Xia Ling's cheek, and then, with lightning speed, she gave her a kiss on the face.

Xia Ling's eyes widened instantly.

"Run, run away?" Looking at the figure that suddenly disappeared under her, Ellie showed a look of surprise.

"Xia Ling is so shy... She can't stand even a little teasing. How cute!"

"but......"

Thinking of the fleeting pink in Xia Ling's eyes, Ai Li couldn't help but feel a sense of joy from the bottom of her heart.

"Sure enough, I was right. Even if it's not the case now..., Xiao Xia Ling can still accept my..."

......

In the system space, the three people and the system all showed a puzzled expression when they saw Xia Ling suddenly appearing on the sofa in the reception room with a red face and crouching with her head in her hands.

[Host, your body surface temperature has been detected to have reached...]

"Shut up, system!"

"What is going on?" Hai Mo touched his chin and speculated, "Could it be Ai Li?"

"In theory, Aponia is also possible."

Before they could finish their discussion, Xia Ling started to empathize with a blushing face.

As a memory circulated, three more people crouched in the living room with their heads covered.

"Love love love, how can Ai Li be so flirtatious?" Yan Wei, who had suffered the most from Ai Li's cruelty, was about to shake his tail out of the circle: "Who can stand this!"

"Oh no, I'm not in the mood to train today." Haimo covered her face, "I suddenly want to go out and hug Wendy to sleep."

"I too...oh no, I think I was originally held by Rita."

In short, due to the teasing of a certain pink fairy lady, the Xia Lings generally did not sleep well tonight.

Next, Xia Ling once again lived an unstable daily life.

The daily routine is stable, but the trip to paradise at night is not so stable.

Every night, Xia Ling would be captured by multiple heroes who might appear in the living room when she entered the paradise.

Sometimes it was Ellie who took her to practice the skills of controlling Honkai energy, sometimes it was Sheshe who prepared to study her body, or it was Vivi who had a guess about the system traces and needed her help to verify it...

In addition, not only the original body, but also the clones are not much better.

Yanwei needs to find Qianjie regularly to "learn" the skills of using fire. With the help of Ellie, Xi also successfully meets Grayshu and learns painting skills under the "protection" of Kosmo.

In comparison, Hai Mo could not gain any improvement in Paradise. After all, her abilities were relatively fixed and her development space was limited. Hai Si's potential mainly lay in differentiation and evolution, and all of these required sufficient samples and templates to support them.

However, samples may not be so easy to obtain in the real world, but there are plenty of them in the system. During this period of time, Hai Mo plunged into the trial with the theme of water and moon, and began to kill all around, recording the original samples and abilities of Haisi produced in Terra.

After all, among the four, the crisis she faces is the most urgent one. There is less than a year left before Wendy's legalization in the main storyline, and the intensity of Oceania's experiments on her has been visibly increased recently. Hai Mo now doubts whether this branch chief who is suspected to have a mental disorder can persist until the original work.

Fortunately, Xia Ling now has a certain degree of confidence, whether it is the reserves of strategic materials or individual strength. Even if the plan fails, the worst that can happen is a fight with Otto. Even if he can't win, he can definitely severely damage Otto.

Time passed and it was January as the strength of several people increased. Shortly after New Year's Day, the vacation of the Undying Blade team also quietly came to an end.

"Okay, okay, our mission this time will only last for a few days. Once the mission is over, we will rush back immediately, okay?"

"When we are away, you must listen carefully to what the bishop says."

On the floating island of the Destiny headquarters, Rita was comforting Xi, who was a little reluctant to leave, beside the transport plane.

"Okay, fine... I will listen carefully to what the bishop says."

Xi nodded obediently and waved to Rita and Youlandel: "You should also pay attention to safety."

On the transport plane, Rita looked at the high-spirited Yulandel and said with a smile: "Lord Yulandel, you seem very motivated this time."

"Of course, Rita. I feel full of energy when I think that Xiao Xi is still waiting for us at the headquarters." Yulandel raised her fist.

"Then I will have to mourn for the target of this mission. It is really bad luck that I met Lord Yulandel who is in excellent condition."

Watching the transport plane going away, Xi also looked at Otto who was standing beside him with a smile.

"Your Excellency, where should we go next? I remember you seemed to have arranged some special training for me, uh, what kind of training was it?"

Seeing Xi's cute frowning face, Otto couldn't help but curl up his lips: "Xiao Xi, before the special training, we must first determine your current ability level."

"So, let's go to the testing ground first. Let me see how much Xiaoxi's painting skills have improved in the past month."

"Okay." Xi showed an innocent and lovely smile: "It just so happens that I have painted a few paintings recently, and I can show them to His Excellency the Bishop."

Chapter 37 Otto: Su, can you show Xi something from the world of the living?

In the testing field, looking at the two scrolls Xi took out, Otto also felt eager to try it out for the first time in a long time.

Exploring the unknown is always exciting, not to mention that Xi's ability is something even Otto has never heard of. The only person who knows of some similarities is a pioneer named Grayshu in the records of the Void.

"So...Xiao Xi, how should we enter the scroll?"

"Enter?" Xi nodded doubtfully: "We have already entered?"

"But the surroundings..." Otto looked around, and the surroundings seemed to be the same scene as before in the test site.

"Because I'm not very good at drawing scenery, I was lazy and used the environment of the test field." Xi stretched out his hand and pointed at the high platform that was rising in the distance: "I used these platforms to separate the monsters I drew. If the bishop wants to see them, he can look at them from there."

As he spoke, Xi took out a paintbrush and casually waved it upwards. A rough-looking slope suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, connecting to the platform above.

"Xiao Xi's abilities are becoming more and more proficient." Otto followed Xi all the way to the platform.

"It's okay. Actually, these two paintings are only half-finished. I just drew the most important parts first. There are still some parts that are not finished. But it's enough to show my ability."

Standing on the high platform, Otto looked downward to the other side. In his field of vision, two rows of red and white sea lily-like creatures were lying docilely on the ground, seemingly dormant, with their huge bud-like heads drooping slightly, looking as if they were full of vitality.

"Are these the creatures you drew? They're so cute." Although he didn't quite understand the power of these flowers and plants, Otto always tended to encourage children.

"Cute?" Xi was a little confused: "Then, does the Bishop want to try their abilities?"

"Are there other abilities? Then I'll have to give it a try."

Otto rubbed his hands together, ready to jump off the platform.

"Ah, Your Excellency the Bishop, there is no need to go down. These creations in the paintings are derivatives of my abilities and have no effect on me. On the contrary, it might be a bit dangerous for you to go down, Your Excellency the Bishop."

As she spoke, Xi waved her brush in the air, changing the terrain of the platform into a U-shape, and she and Otto were positioned in the middle of the two rows of big flowers.

"Dangerous? Xiao Xi, your bishop is not a helpless scientist." Otto smiled and didn't pay attention to Xi's advice.

"Okay... the name of this painting is Where Are Good Dreams? If you want to activate them, just attack them directly." Seeing that Otto was determined to die, Xi said that he could only let go of his desire to help others and respect the fate of others.

As if he was afraid of using too much power and accidentally killing these lovely flowers and plants, Otto summoned Mimic Skyfire, deliberately reduced the power, and fired several shots downwards.

Bullets carrying Honkai energy exploded on the ground. Under Xi's shocked gaze, Otto activated most of the nutrient-rich Pot Sea Reapers on the field with a few shots.

"------"

Accompanied by bursts of sharp screams, the big flowers that were harmless just now all raised their heads in an instant, their flower buds opened widely, and their lower limbs that were originally like roots waved forward, rushing forward with the momentum of a dump truck.

What’s even more troubling is that there are more than a dozen such flowers here.

At the same time, the range nerve damage of the Bohai Harvesters also spread, and because the terrain had been changed into a U-shape by Xi, they could not find a way out, and could only circle around the platform where Xi was, like middle school students doing exercises, and even kept making indescribable screams as if they were shouting slogans.

Otto was almost instantly knocked off the platform by the accumulated nerve damage, but fortunately he was now a body of soul steel, and Haisi's nerve damage was considered a special attack against humans, so Otto only suffered the mental pollution brought by Haisi.

"This..." Otto was so shocked by the group of hell drawings below that were like rabid dogs that he was speechless. After a moment, he used Xukong Wanzang to mimic Yu Duchen, and then used Yu Duchen to mimic a human figure that was materialized by mental power and let it go.

The humanoid thrown down by Otto was almost instantly torn into pieces by the sharp lower limbs of the Bohai Harvester. After all, this was just a mimic of Yu Duchen, and Otto's body was not the type that had combat power.

"Hmm..." Feeling his head buzzing in the physical sense and looking at Huahua who was still hurting herself everywhere below, Otto felt that his assessment of Xi's strength might be a bit conservative.

After a while, the Bohai Reapers, who had finally run out of blood, fell to the ground one after another. Accompanied by a series of sharp screams, Otto was finally freed from the mental pollution.

"Um... Bishop, are you okay?" Xi suppressed his smile and pulled on the corner of Otto's clothes.

"Xiao Xi, this... magical species, where on earth did you see it?" Looking at the two or three remaining Bohai Harvesters that were still sleeping peacefully and had not been activated, Otto couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"I saw it when I was observing the World Bubble with Su!" Xi put the blame on Su without hesitation: "There are many strange things like this in the World Bubble."

"There are more?" Otto looked like he had a master: "Then your other painting, wouldn't it be the same..."

"Yes." Xi's smile became brighter: "The name of the other painting is Afternoon of Collapse, Your Excellency the Bishop, let's take a look at it together now."

"No, I think..." Otto hadn't finished his words when he found that the scene around him had changed and the sky seemed to have become gloomy.

Looking at Xi's smiling expression, Otto silently swallowed the second half of his sentence.

How come this child has become as sinister as Rita? She must be taking revenge on me for not taking her ability seriously just now... After once again sighing that children are like who they are raised by and why Theresa did not follow this law, Otto helplessly raised the Mimic Skyfire, ready to deal with the monster that appeared.

Watching Otto running around being chased by the overwhelming collapsing structures, Xi let out a hearty laugh.

After a while, Otto, who had been chased by the collapsed body for several rounds, guessed that Xi had probably lost his temper, so he dealt with the monsters whose "blood lines" he had just controlled one by one, and then ran back with an apologetic smile.

"Um, Xiao Xi... have you painted anything else these days?"

"I mean, the ones that aren't so aggressive."

"Not aggressive..." Xi tilted his head, thought for a while, then smiled brightly.

"Of course."

“I drew a portrait of a person!”

"Oh?" Otto's eyes lit up. This one shouldn't be as aggressive as the previous two paintings.

"It's just that... because this person is a bit strong, I can't draw a fighting style."

"A bit strong?" Otto searched in his mind. Could it be Yulandel? Or Rita? Or Su?

Then, Xi took out a scroll and slowly unfolded it.

A pink-haired figure with long fox ears appeared in front of Otto.

"This older sister's name is Ying. She seems to be Su's former colleague. She is so pretty. Su introduced her to me!"

Xi smiled adorably, and then added: "Sister Rita took me to play Kallen Fantasy a few days ago, it was fun! I originally wanted to draw the big fox at the end of the level, but suddenly I thought that the human form of the big fox seemed a bit like Sister Ying, so I drew Sister Ying. How about it, Bishop, do you like this painting?"

"Your Excellency? Why are you silent?"

......

It has to be said that Otto is very tolerant. Even after being teased by Xi, Otto still did not hesitate to increase his efforts in training Xi. He found her more than a dozen painting instructors from various schools. According to Otto, he even planned to choose a set of the already made God-killing armor to transform Xi.

Otto just stopped Xi from drawing the pink-haired fox.

"Xiao Xi, what's so good about that pink fox? Listen to the bishop and draw a portrait of this Saint Kallen, how about that?"

Of course, this painting was later taken away and collected by Otto.

Chapter 38: Shadow of the Blue Sea

However, while Xi was receiving special training in full swing at the Tianming headquarters, other good news came one after another.

First of all, Haimo, who worked hard in the trials every week, produced a very good collection.

[Dream Castle Model: After use, the surrounding environment will be changed to Dream Castle, and the individual carrying the collection will gain a bonus of Honkai Energy in the castle. 】

The second half was not unfamiliar to Xia Ling and the others. They had obtained miniature stage models in the trials before and knew that such collections that increased the initial cost and initial skills could increase the Honkai energy.

However, the effect in the first half is somewhat intriguing.

After actual use tests, the effect of this thing is somewhat similar to creating a barrier. People inside will gain additional Honkai energy reserves close to 1.5 times Xia Ling's Honkai energy reserves, and those who are identified as enemy targets will have their mental resistance and observation abilities reduced.

This effect made Xia Ling immediately think of a suitable candidate, Xi.

Xi's paintings can be created directly out of thin air like in the previous experiment with Tianming, giving the enemy a meaty shock, or they can be created by drawing a world in the painting to trap the enemy like in the original work.

In Xi's world of paintings, one can either expend a far greater amount of Honkai energy than was needed to construct the painting and forcibly break through the scroll, or find a loophole in the painting and see through it directly without expending any Honkai energy.

However, the former is obviously laborious, and the latter is time-consuming. However, Xi's current painting skills are not good, and if he wants to achieve this effect, he may not be able to draw a picture in a week.

So, what if we use the Dream Castle model as a basis and let Xi use paintings to stack boxes inside?
