Esper X Family – Chapter 6 – Father-Daughter Harmony (Not Really)

Ye Yao attempted to control her other body.

It was slightly strenuous.

However, it became much easier once one of them closed her eyes, lay down, and disconnected.

“Hmm hmm hmm~”

Ye Yao rode on top of herself and pinched the other body’s cheek.

The texture is amazing!

As expected of me!

This is bliss~

“Alas, my path of becoming the server’s top puppeteer is shattered.”

Ye Yao wasn’t discouraged and continued her research.

Keeping both bodies active simultaneously would severely drain her mental power.

The fission state had a time limit.

Both bodies could only remain active for about ten minutes.

A bit short.

It was likely due to insufficient mental power.

If only one body remained active, the fission state could be extended to an hour.

Wow, impressive~

Not only that.

Ye Yao discovered another issue.

The attribute panels of both bodies remained unchanged.

“Could it be?!”

Ye Yao had a bold idea.

She spent over ten minutes tinkering in the room, experimenting with various functionalities of body fission, and finally figured out a method.

“I think I’ve got it now.”

Ye Yao first retracted the fission body, rested for a while, then peeked out from behind the curtains, looking at the building across the balcony.

“Concentrate…”

Activate the ability!

On the rooftop of a building a hundred meters away.

A petite girl materialized out of thin air.

White-haired loli No. 2 is born!

In the room, Ye Yao opened a streaming app on her phone to play an anime.

Then, she closed her eyes and directly disconnected.

On the other building, Ye Yao opened her eyes, placed her hands on her hips, and proudly struck a pose under the moonlight ¹ .

“I don’t eat beef ² A line from the movie 危城, also known as ‘Deadly Reclaim’ or ‘Call of Heroes’. The psychopath villain said that line before killing everyone on the scene. It’s often used as a meme for scenarios where you’re OP enough to slaughter everyone. !”

What do you think of this teleportation?

Does it feel skillful?

A true high skill cap hero!

“Hmm, the only issue is that once the time ends, the fission body disappears, and the main body remains in the original position. Not flexible enough.”

Ye Yao sighed lightly.

Sigh, it still relies heavily on skill.

“It’s time to test that earlier idea.”

Ye Yao stared at her attribute panel and increased the output of her ability once more.

“Attribute fission!”

In an instant.

Ye Yao’s aura surged rapidly, her presence becoming overwhelmingly powerful, far surpassing her previous strength by several levels.

【Fission state panel as follows:

Mental Power: 100

Strength: 25

Stamina: 25

Agility: 25】

“Hiss—POWAH ³ Yes, that’s broken English right there. It says 抛瓦pāo wǎ in raws. !!”

Ye Yao clenched her pink fist, marveling at the explosive increase in her body’s strength.

“So incredible, it’s truly an exponential increase. If I can fission a second time, won’t that be even more absurd?”

Keep in mind that the current fission count was only 1.

At this rate, it was hard to say who the real stat monster would be.

The only problem was…

“The duration of the fission state has shortened again… It’s barely even five minutes.”

Ye Yao shook her head as she felt the strain on her body.

Soon, she would be forced back to her main body, making it only usable as a finishing move.

Even so, Ye Yao was extremely satisfied.

She wasn’t exactly sure what a mental power of 100 meant.

But with a tenfold increase, who needs anything else?

I’m invincible!

“Hmm, let’s try a bit more.”

With just a slight thought, Ye Yao’s body was quickly enveloped in black mist, making it barely discernible as a human figure.

Even her height was obscured.

This was a secondary function of the fission body, giving off a ‘behind-the-scenes mastermind’ vibe.

“From now on, I can slack off anytime I want!”

Ye Yao’s confidence had inflated to the point where she no longer knew what heaven and earth were.

With such a massive leap in power, anyone would get a bit carried away.

However, Ye Yao overlooked one thing.

A real stat monster was stationed within the neighborhood.

“ Sigh. “

A sigh came from behind.

Ye Yao’s body stiffened.

And her soaring mood instantly cooled.

Lou Wei stared at the figure shrouded in black mist, his gaze growing colder.

He couldn’t see through the mist to discern their true identity, as if some mysterious force was interfering.

He also hadn’t noticed when the other party had appeared here.

If it wasn’t for the mental power fluctuations just now, he might not have noticed at all.

“Who are you?”

“Gah—”

Ye Yao turned around stiffly.

Only then did she realize that Lou Wei had somehow circled behind her.

But upon hearing the question, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn’t recognize me?

Must be the system’s shielding effect.

Even a stat monster with a mental power of 10,000 can’t see through the system’s divine power.

Confidence restored!

But Ye Yao decided not to provoke trouble.

She wasn’t one to stir up drama.

Rеad оn ΚаtRеαdinɡСafе

She would just deactivate the fission state and return to her main body.

But what Ye Yao didn’t expect was that the Found Family System would activate at this moment!

【Target character detected. The familial relationship between both parties is overly distant. A healthy family should not drift apart. The cold ‘father’ needs an opportunity to increase his attention toward his daughter.】

【Lou Wei is puzzled by your presence. According to the organization’s layout, no suspicious individuals should be able to approach this area. Provoking him might provide an opportunity. Reward: 2 attribute points upon completing the task.】

Starting the father-daughter harmony now?

Really?

Me, provoking the strongest of the current era?

Can I win?

Ye Yao pondered left and right, unable to figure it out.

What does provoking the strongest of the current era have to do with improving family relations?

But it’s 2 attribute points!

It would be a significant boost even with only one fission.

Ye Yao decided to go for it!

Under Lou Wei’s cold gaze, the figure shrouded in black mist extended a hand.

Even through the black mist, he could see the clenched fist making an international friendly gesture.

“…”

Lou Wei understood.

He wasn’t angry. Instead, he was puzzled by such a meaningless provocation.

After reaching his current strength, it had been a long time since he was last provoked by a weaker being.

Now, it was Ye Yao’s turn to be confused.

“Huh? No effect?”

Looks like I need something more explosive!

Ye Yao adjusted her voice, and a low, muffled tone emerged from the black mist.

“Sequence 001 is here, right?”

The next second.

The air seemed to freeze.

A gentle breeze swept across the rooftop.

Lou Wei took out his phone and dialed a number.

“What’s the target’s current status?”

On the other end.

Hearing Lou Wei’s serious tone, Xiao Jing immediately sensed that something was wrong.

She immediately rushed to Ye Yao’s room, skipping the knock and opening the door to look inside.

The white-haired loli was sleeping peacefully in her bed.

Her breathing was steady, with no signs of abnormality.

“She’s asleep.”

Lou Wei hung up the phone and turned back to the figure before him, his killing intent unmistakable.

“Answer me, where did you learn about this? What do you want with Sequence 001? What are you planning to do?”

Ye Yao was already immobilized by the terrifying pressure.

It felt like she was locked onto by a star-destroying cannon!

She only knew that this provocation was extremely successful.

Even 200% successful!

Perhaps a bit too successful.

“Not answering?”

Lou Wei didn’t receive the response he wanted. He reached up and loosened his necktie.

A strong gust of wind blew, sharpening the soft tie into a blade.

Just looking at it felt like being cut by a sharp edge.

“Whatever. Killing you here won’t change the outcome.”

Lou Wei swung the necktie.

The residents of the neighborhood and surrounding buildings only heard a loud explosion.

BOOM!!!

A roaring gale swept through like a super typhoon.

Fortunately, it only lasted for a second.

Only Lou Wei remained on the rooftop, calmly retying his necktie as he walked away.

The area showed no signs of damage.

Only the brilliant starry sky above bore witness to his action.

Originally…

The people of this city couldn’t see the stars tonight.
