Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

They all uniformly adopted the method of differentiating energy and thus differentiating personality.

But their methods.

...Hmm, Ruan Mei's method really fits Liu Bai's stereotype of Ruan Mei.

"...Could you elaborate on this in more detail?"

Liu Bai was already considering refuting Ruan Mei's statement.

But this time it's a dispute between Nguyen Mai and Hei Ta... so let's listen a little more carefully.

"My method is very simple."

Ruan Mei tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "First, get Kiana pregnant. Then, use a drug to stimulate the fetus to develop. Next, use another drug to introduce a personality into the fetus's body. I'm very skilled in this area. I've created creatures with multiple personalities in one body before."

"Liu Bai, do you know how strange this person is?"

Black Tower rolled his eyes.

To be honest, if it weren't for the responsibility he needed to bear for Liu Bai and Kiana, Black Tower wouldn't have bothered to care how wicked Ruan Mei's methods were.

But doesn't that mean we have to take responsibility?

“Kiana isn’t a creature created in your lab, Liu Bai. My method may not be as intuitive as hers, but it’s actually quite simple: use other Herrscher cores to stimulate the personality called Sirin and activate the dormant personality.”

The black tower opened its mouth.

"According to the information provided by the woman named Mebius, Kiana may actually be a derivative personality of Sirin. However, it seems that this derivative personality appeared by chance rather than Sirin being able to control it at will. So even if it becomes active, it is unlikely to have any impact."

"My method will not have any impact either."

"Is that what you call a solution?"

Black Tower said something that Liu Bai agreed with: "In the end, Mebius's conservative treatment is because dealing with Sirin's personality would cause unnecessary risks. If it's just about maintaining independence, there are countless ways to do it."

"So what's the point of allowing someone to have an independent personality?"

Ruan Mei spoke up, "Why does Kiana want to share a body with another personality? Your method is just to facilitate your experiments, and have you considered the negative effects of stimulating the Herrscher's core?"

"..."

Liu Bai was taken aback. He had to admit that Ruan Mei's idea was quite ingenious.

Ruan Mei's solution was to transform the two individuals with their ambiguous relationship into independent persons.

The Black Tower's solution is to transform two potentially subordinate personalities into independent personalities that do not interfere with each other.

"It's better than you asking someone to get pregnant! At least consider what other people think!"

"Isn't it because I care a lot about Liu Bai's opinion?"

"..."

A mad scientist obsessed with love; Black Tower feels this guy is beyond saving.

"...I say, why don't you ask Kiana, the person involved, what she thinks?"

Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.

"She lacks rationality."

"That girl might have made a choice on a whim."

"..."

These two are just as arrogant in this kind of place.

"...Ah, wait a minute, your two methods aren't actually contradictory, are they?"

Liu Bai suddenly noticed the most crucial point.

"For example... even after using the Black Tower's method, we can still use Ruan Mei's method, right?"

417

Chapter 417 Ruan Mei has another sinister plan.

"Ruan Mei, isn't your idea toxic?!"

In the end, Liu Bai still called Kiana over.

Then, unsurprisingly, Kiana lost her temper.

Where is the poison?

"Why do I have to get pregnant to separate my personalities?!"

"Otherwise what? Do you think it's possible to drill a hole in your head, put a doll in it, connect it with a tube, and transfer brain matter to separate your personality?"

Ruan Mei's expression was indifferent.

"Or should we just cut a piece off your brain, and make sure it hits 'Cirin'? Or should we put a little hat on you, perform a ritual, and just snap your personality away?"

"..."

Kiana's lips twitched.

"Do you think anyone here has the ability to perform mental surgery?"

Ruan Mei continued, "Unfortunately, neither of us is skilled in mental surgery, and we also lack the necessary equipment."

Actually, there are some: Shi Bao and Fu Hua's Feather Dust.

However, these two have a relatively low profile, and their surgical skills are indeed not very good. Besides, the fact that Shi Bao is a Herrscher is something that cannot be revealed.

"...So what are you good at?"

"To destroy or to build".

Black Tower rarely spoke up for Ruan Mei, saying, "For example, we could destroy you and Xilin directly, or make you and Xilin suffer another mental breakdown."

"...Aren't you all geniuses?"

"Yes, but I am not the creator. If I were to be as omnipotent as those guys think, I should be called the Black Tower Lord now."

Black Tower rolled his eyes. There are always people who rely on wishful thinking to expect geniuses.

"Not to mention that even the erudite one is still an unknown number when it comes to how far he has gone down the path of 'erudition'... or rather, omniscience."

Omniscient and omnipotent—either of these two could practically ascend to heaven.

"Although I was very unhappy with Ruan Mei's suggestion, it was indeed... effective."

After all, Ruan Mei does have more clinical experience in this area than she does.

The mind and body are actually inseparable.

Just like how children with birth defects are more likely to have mental health issues.

Ruan Mei has certainly dealt with more individuals with multiple personalities than she has, and she certainly wouldn't perform such meticulous surgery on every one of these flawed individuals.

"The physiological connection between mother and child is actually very close. There's a saying that 'pregnancy makes you stupid for three years'... Part of the reaction during pregnancy and postpartum is due to hormones, but it's not as simple as the kind of promotion and inhibition we learn about in school. Hormonal influences cause the mother's gray matter to shrink as a whole, and the overall brain structure undergoes subtle changes..."

"...Is there really such a thing?"

"Isn't this basic common sense? Besides, your personality isn't purely a mental illness. With simple supplementation of special drugs during this period, it's possible to establish a connection between the mother and child bodies..."

"It's normal for children this age to lack common sense."

Black Tower rarely speaks up for Kiana.

"Besides, I don't think she's really interested in listening to your further explanation."

"It doesn't matter."

Ruan Mei didn't bother to say anything about it, since she really didn't care much about Kiana anyway.

"Kiana, you choose one."

Liu Bai sighed beside him; he didn't really want to hear Ruan Mei's explanation of the principles either.

"..."

Kiana fell silent.

She actually felt that this wasn't a multiple-choice question.

Given the serious proposal from Black Tower and the completely unserious proposal from Nguyen Mai, is there even a need to choose?

Although she felt that choosing a doctor based on her gut feeling was similar to searching for one online, but... but... but this one just felt reliable!

It seems reliable, so... is it absolutely necessary to choose it?

That's not necessarily true!

“…Sister Ruanmei.”

Kiana tried her best to put on a polite smile.

"Ok?"

Ruan Mei frowned slightly as she looked at Kiana's fawning smile.

"It's about... if you're pregnant..."

“I can arrange everything for you perfectly. I am, after all, a top scholar in the field of life sciences. From sperm to egg, everything is a clean artificial creation.”

Ruan Mei interrupted Kiana directly.

Fuck you! I'm here to treat your illness, and you're still eyeing things you shouldn't be touching?

"Dry, clean?"

Kiana's smile looked somewhat stiff.

"That's right. I can extract your genes directly, process them, and then put them back in. Even with the current equipment, I can do it within three hours."

As a traveler on a path of destiny, Ruan Mei's abilities are actually in this area.

Therefore, to a certain extent, she doesn't have to follow common sense.

"You can think of it as you being pregnant with a clone of yourself, which is better for Sirin, isn't it?"

"..."

Ah... does Ruan Mei think this statement is easy for people to accept?

To be honest, Kiana felt that it was precisely because this statement was too "clean" that it gave her a disgusting feeling...

I got pregnant without doing anything... um...

"Then...then I'll still choose Black Tower Sister, okay?"

Kiana was overwhelmed by Ruan Mei's imposing aura and couldn't bring herself to try and charm Liu Bai, so she turned to the Black Tower instead.

"It was expected that the inhumane plan would be rejected."

Black Tower let out two pleasant hums.

"Sister Black Tower, you don't need any strange operations here, do you?"

Kiana was still a little worried—after all, Black Tower had just spoken up for Ruan Mei.

"No need, you won't get it even if you want it."

Perhaps because he had just defeated Nguyen Mai, Heita's words were still a bit impolite, but his tone had clearly improved.

“My method only involves energy manipulation; you are the only physiological factor involved.”

Ruan Mei: “…”

Ruan Mei looked at the somewhat smug Black Tower with a slightly displeased expression.

Well, it's not that I'm petty because I lost; it's mainly because I lost to Liu Bai.

To be honest, Black Tower and Kiana are nothing to her, not even worth a damn.

...Okay, that's a bit much to say about Black Tower, but to be fair, this isn't the first or second time Ruan Mei has ignored Black Tower. She's thrown almost a whole basket of Black Tower invitations into the trash can. If it weren't for the interesting simulated universe project, she probably would have thrown another basket.

Well, she's never bothered with the Genius Club, let alone other geniuses. Anything that doesn't help her with playing with bugs... no, researching life, can get lost.

If we don't look at the present, wasn't she also from a small planet, and worked her way up to become someone who entered the genius club today?

It's as if she was born into a genius club.

Anyway, I've never heard of anyone being born with "celestial music playing from heaven and attracting everyone's attention"... My personal feeling is that they all climbed the ladder on their own.
