Chapter 120 - Chapter 120: Tesla Refuses to Become a Comedian

Kevin's noodles were indeed surprising, but considering this seemingly nonsensical world, Otto might just pop in and join him, so there was no need to dwell on it too much.

The rest of the video was just as nonsensical and hilarious as before.

Unlike Tesla, whose face darkened from her own comedic performance, Einstein, her friend, admired everything Tesla displayed in the video with a predictable expression, exclaiming.

"Sure enough, Dr. Tesla is perfectly suited to this kind of comedic role."

This naturally infuriated Tesla, who stomped her shoes.

"Damn it! This genius cannot accept this!"

As one of the most brilliant scientists of the 20th century, a true genius in human scientific research, this was a shocking blow to her. She had actually been positioned as a comedic character.

Thinking back to how eagerly she had competed before, how confident she had been in her achievements…

Comparing this to what was going on now, the usually energetic Tesla instantly languished.

"Bang!"

Mr. Zhou had said it so well: "When people are unlucky, even drinking cold water gets stuck in their teeth."

Tesla wasn't sure if drinking cold water would get stuck in her teeth, but based on the box hitting her head, she was at least certain she was unlucky right now.

Fu Hua, who had been constantly hit by the boxes, was so moved she was practically in tears.

Finally, those damned reward boxes stopped hitting her.

Ah... Her miserable life was finally getting a break.

But was this a change of fortune, or was this Q&A space feeling bad for constantly hitting Fu Hua, thus giving this Shenzhou African Chief a break...

Well, who knows?

"Damn it, even you're annoying me!"

Having been hit, Tesla was naturally in a bad mood. She felt a bit annoyed by the lifeless reward box on the ground and angrily wanted to kick it away.

But Welt stopped her.

Whether it would break or not was another matter, but wouldn't she still have to pick it up after it flew away?

Besides, this space was so strange, who knew if this broken box might even have some spirit or something.

One kick might have sent a white light. The Shenzhou chieftain next to him might gain another accomplice... Oh, Welt remembered that he had also gotten a white light.

That's fine, though; having more companions is easier than being kind.

Tesla wasn't the type to let anger take over. After being persuaded by the understanding Grandpa Welt, she naturally calmed down and glared at Einstein, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

She tossed her pigtails, as if to shake off her anger. Under everyone's gaze, Tesla raised her hand and opened the... A Homu Reward Box.

Hmm... it's golden light.

Fu Hua's plan to expand her African village was instantly thwarted.

This time, Tesla unboxed a metal box far larger than the reward she had expected, not to mention the rather intriguing method of extracting it.

This wasn't the first time anyone had seen this kind of box.

The last time Fu Hua unboxed something, it was something like this.

Looking at what was inside, everyone had a rough idea of what it was. They saw Water's Edge who had been bored and had already started practicing swordsmanship nearby.

Speaking of which, the last time she unboxed Water's Edge, it was also a golden light.

That was one of Fu Hua's rare lucky breaks. After all, aside from the initial burst of golden light, it was mostly white after that. There was even an exploding box.

Luckily, the explosion was a mere showpiece, otherwise everyone present would have been stuck in the St. Freya Academy's ICU for a few days.

Having seen how Water's Edge had opened it last time, Tesla followed suit and opened this unique metal box.

The contents of the box were revealed to everyone.

As expected, it was an ELF.

With red twintails, glasses, and a matching plaid skirt, she looked like a miniature Tesla.

Everyone had seen the ELF in the final scene of the Great Honkai Games video just now.

Hmm… Tesla got the reward, though there were a bunch of ridiculous plot twists that followed.

"Hmm… Dr. Lobster, the victor of the competition, received the ELF, and our Dr. Tesla also received the ELF after completing the quiz. It's a pretty reasonable outcome."

Borrowing the nickname for Tesla in the video, Einstein's expression remained calm, but her words were filled with teasing toward Tesla.

Already extremely sensitive to the ridiculously low-brow Tesla in the video, Tesla heard Einstein mention this infuriating nickname. Her eyes instantly blazed, and she rushed toward Einstein, provoked.

"Ahhhh, you Mophead! I'll fight you!"

Naturally, no fight broke out. As support staff, the two were equally matched in terms of combat effectiveness. Even if Tesla's physique was a bit better due to her profession, it wouldn't last long. The two were simply fighting each other.

Welt had seen this before so he was accustomed to it, but considering that there were people from St. Freya's Academy here, he still tried to stop the two.

After all, they were over a hundred years old, and among a bunch of children... the childish behavior before him was truly a letdown.

After straightening her clothes, which had become scattered due to her movements, Tesla turned her attention to the ELF modeled after herself.

Though she was somewhat dissatisfied with the image of herself as a comedic character,

But... an ELF modeled after herself.

A flicker of concern flashed in Tesla's eyes.

She was the type with rich emotions, attaching great importance to the people and things related to her.

Like Wodan, if one insists that she alone completed the latter half of the creation and gave life using the Allspark, then this was Tesla treating it as her own child.

And this ELF modeled after herself...

Tesla took a deep breath to calm herself, then approached the ELF and activated it, still in its dormant state, according to Book of Fuxi's method.

Because of a new companion, Water's Edge paused in her sword practice, balancing the Xuanyuan Sword under her hips as she floated over, observing with curiosity.

Like Water's Edge before, the ELF, resembling Tesla, opened its eyes.

The auxiliary arm behind her served the same purpose as the Book of Fuxi Book's orb and Water's Edge's Xuanyuan Sword, causing it to levitate.

"[Index of Forbidden Scientific Books], work number 0, a genius's masterpiece, the key to the forbidden door... This is me, Tesla Zero. Of course, you can also call me 'Little Te,' I don't mind."

She began by introducing herself fluidly, a routine that seemed to be a fixed part of the ELF's activation process. Of course, it might as well be an introduction.

"...The Index of Forbidden Scientific Books?"

Upon hearing this name, a strange look crossed Einstein's face, familiar to her, and she couldn't help but glance at Tesla.

If she remembers correctly, there's indeed a general term for those useless items Tesla created, right?

"There are no ELFs in my scientific catalog!"

Tesla naturally understood what she meant and spoke angrily, "I definitely didn't make this!"

To be honest, she was quite interested in ELFs; after all, they were super high-tech from a previous era.

However, she didn't have the technology, so even if she wanted to, she couldn't create one.

"Maybe it's in the future... If you think about it carefully, there really aren't any useful things in your scientific catalog. So, this ELF was probably created by you from another world."

An answer popped up at first, but then it was directly denied. Einstein looked at Tesla Zero with interest and made a rough guess.

"Hmph! What do you mean there won't be anything useful? This genius' invention has countless uses!"

Tesla naturally wouldn't let her invention be disparaged. She glared at Einstein with disapproval, then turned to Tesla Zero.

The two, one large and one small, locked eyes.

Tesla Zero's personality was already very similar to Tesla's, and their proximity gave them a sense of rapport, like a turtle gazing at a mung bean.

Those with much in common wanted to go off and have a proper conversation.

But how could the others just look at her like that?

They'd already been given an introduction to the previous items, and she was running off without even showing its panel.

Tesla agreed, and immediately, in full view of everyone, opened Little Te's statistic.

[Tesla Zero]

[A combat-type armed figure modeled after Frederica Nikola Tesla, possessing excellent cooperative combat capabilities.]

[Evaluation: Although it's a combat-type ELF, it's not recommended for use in combat.]

[Note: Very strong, just a little weak.]

At first glance, it was just an unremarkable item, a purely general introduction.

It was basically incomparable to those powerful items from before.

And...

A combat-type ELF... and you're saying it's not recommended for use in combat?

Everyone glanced at Tesla and laughed.

That's alright, after all. The prototype is a logistics operative who's not good at combat, so it's understandable that the ELF isn't good at combat either.

Speaking of those who aren't good at combat, Book of Fuxi next to her also falls into this category.

Water's Edge... although she hasn't been in much combat, her prototype is Cheng Lixue, Schicksal's A-rank Valkyrie. She sits all day diligently practicing with the Xuanyuan Sword. Her impenetrable swordsmanship is a testament to her exceptional combat prowess.

According to Himiko's evaluation, even if Water's Edge isn't as powerful as the original Cheng Lixue, she at least possesses the combat power of an A-rank Valkyrie.

Tesla wasn't bothered by Tesla Zero's inferior attributes.

She herself wasn't concerned about this aspect.

If it came to fighting, having Wodan was enough.

Little Te... Tesla planned to try using her as an experimental assistant.

After all, she had the same personality as her, and she'd be much more useful than other assistants... well, even though Tesla didn't have many assistants to begin with.
