Cocolia is ready to return.
After all, this time she was just here to witness the official launch of The Deep City project. It cannot be done in three or two days from stepping into The Deep to activating the Eye of The Deep to exploring the quantum world.
The subsequent research and repair work can take anywhere from three to five months to a year and a half. It is impossible for Cocolia to abandon her chaotic base camp and squat in North America to oversee things.
However, the only problem is that Ninti will temporarily stay at the Anti-Entropy headquarters.
"Here, you have to go to bed early and get up early, and eat on time. You have always been very good, and I am very relieved. But remember, if one day Dr. Tesla wants to do something strange to you, run away as soon as possible and find Dr. Einstein. Then call me and tell me; I will fly over right away to protect you."
"Hey! Cocolia, what are you talking about?" Tesla was so angry that she jumped up and down.
Ninti glanced at Tesla with innocent eyes, then turned to Cocolia. She didn't speak, just sniffed, and her eyes gradually became moist.
Cocolia smiled slightly, stood up, and prepared to board the plane.
But suddenly, her steps stopped.
Everyone seeing her off could see that Ninti's little hand gently grasped Cocolia's little finger, her red eyes raised, refusing to let go.
"Well!" Cocolia sighed helplessly, turned around again, bent down, held the little girl's face, and kissed her forehead gently.
"We won't be separated for long. I will definitely visit you often."
"But..."
"Don't be afraid, there are Dr. Einstein, Dr. Tesla, and Joachim here. Aren't they all your good friends?"
"Well, I...I know." Ninti hugged Cocolia one last time, then sniffing, backed away little by little.
Cocolia took a deep breath, casually wiped the moist corners of her eyes, smiled slightly, then turned around and walked onto the plane with a gentle wave of her hand.
The fighter plane took off, penetrated the sea of clouds in the blink of an eye, and disappeared at the end of the sky.
Einstein and Tesla then walked over, each holding Ninti's hand. They looked together with her in the direction of Cocolia's retreat.
After a long time, Tesla spoke dully, "If she hadn't encountered that kind of thing, would she be a well-known and respected scholar now?"
"Perhaps, but in that case, she would not be the Cocolia she is now. Tesla, she is extremely powerful now. She does not need sympathy, just respect and blessings, that's all."
"I know."
That's what Tesla said, but it was obvious she still couldn't get over it.
Welt stood behind Ninti. He gently touched the girl's head and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Suffering is not worthy of praise, but those who persevere through suffering and finally come out are undoubtedly worthy of respect. It is precisely because she has tasted bitterness that she can now become a great mother. The laughter of the children will eventually heal her pain. In short, I feel like I can finally understand a lot about her."
Einstein and Tesla nodded silently.
...
The Anti-Entropy headquarters is still thinking about Cocolia's past and philosophy, but she herself quickly returned to her loyal East Shenzou Sea base.
Then, Kella and Ana were summoned.
"Congratulations, you can take up the post of executor. You can consider slowly whether you want to open a new base by yourself or choose one of the existing bases as your base camp. I will give you three days to hand over the work, pack your luggage, and then go to the headquarters to find the Leader and report."
"Yes!"
Kella pulled her legs together, straightened her waist and saluted heroically.
The number of executors of Anti-Entropy does not have a fixed value and adheres to the principle of the most capable. But there are always several positions that must have an executor, such as the military director. This position is currently vacant.
As a veteran of many battles and captain of the Iron Titan Column, Kella has a beautiful resume. Coupled with her loyalty and ability to break into the Schicksal headquarters at night, she can convince others when she takes the position.
In addition, there is the appreciation of the three elders of Anti-Entropy and the endorsement of the radical leader, Cocolia.
These factors combined make her an impeccable choice.
Ana, who was wearing a little yellow hat at the construction site, swallowed and looked at the two of them in confusion.
No, is the identity of the Anti-Entropy executor something that a Schicksal A-level Valkyrie like me can know immediately?
Ana touched the hat on her head, then shrank her neck, feeling a little uncomfortable. She whispered, "Um, Lord Cocolia, Colonel Kella, if there's nothing else, can I just...continue to work?"
"You don't have to go to the construction site."
"Huh? Am I fired? Why?"
Ana's almond-shaped eyes widened, and her voice suddenly became louder.
Although it was her fault for leading the way for Durandal and the others last time, wasn't she also spanked later and had a lot of bonuses deducted? Is this matter not over yet?
Cocolia looked at the possible-to-be Ice Herrscher carrier with subtle eyes.
"You seem unsatisfied with my decision? Are you reluctant to give up this job?"
"I work very seriously, and I just bought a new skirt two days ago. It was an overdraft..."
The little rich woman who once had a lot of wealth is now a bit humble. It's already hard to have your bonus deducted. If you lose your job again, you really won't be able to pay off your credit card.
Cocolia was speechless for a while, then spoke with a wooden face.
"I'm going to give you another job, and the salary will be much higher."
"Hey, what kind of job?"
"After Kella leaves, the Pilot Column will need to fill vacancies. It is difficult to train them in a short period of time. It just so happens that you often help the pilots train. You have passed the test and you are familiar with them. So, you've become a pilot."
"Um???" Ana tilted her head cutely, her mouth open, and her clear pink eyes filled with question marks.
The A-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal and the Iron Titan Pilot of Anti-Entropy, are these positions that can be held at the same time?
"Starting at four times the salary, there are high subsidies for attendance, and additional bonuses after the suppression of the collapse. In addition, there are generous vacation quotas, plus full food, accommodation, and travel subsidies."
"Yes, Lord Cocolia!"
Ana took off her little yellow hat and imitated Kella's posture. She sretched out her straight and slender legs, raised her chest and lowered her abdomen and gave a military salute.
The question mark in those big bright eyes disappeared, replaced by excitement.
Cocolia waved her hand and watched the little girl rush out the door excitedly, then looked at Kella expressionlessly.
"The food in the base shouldn't have the effect of purifying Kaslana's bloodline, right?"
"She is under too much pressure previously. It is not easy to be a new star in the Schariac family. After arriving here, there is no supervision from all aspects, and no one always talks about responsibility and honor in her ears. She just works hard every day and then eats big without thinking about other things. Gradually... her nature will be liberated.... Maybe."
"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, partnering with BT means we can keep an eye on them nearby. If the Herrscher of Ice is still her, that will be very convenient."
"You're right."
Cocolia does not intend to force Ana to become the Herrscher of Ice. Anyway, no matter who the Herrscher of Ice appears in the end, she has the confidence to obtain this power.
The same is true for Chen Tianwu. Being favored by the World Snake in the original timeline means that he is a talent.
After he is cured, she should find a place to use it.
As for the Herrscher of Rock, whenever they appears, she can obtain this power. It doesn't matter if he is Chen Tianwu or not.
As Cocolia's network continues to expand in the real world, she has the luxury to do so.
"After meeting Welt, I plan to go to Shenzou to open a new branch."
"It's a good choice. Because of Fu Hua, neither Schicksal nor the World Snake interfered much in this land in the past. Shenzou rejected the entry of Anti-Entropy in the early years. At present, it is basically a clean land. If you can open a base in Shenzou, the best infrastructure and the most complete industrial chain in the world will be in your behest."
"Well, things are different now. After the Second Shenzou Sea Base War, they must have a new understanding of the Honkai. Now that I'm requesting settlement, I have a hunch that it won't be too difficult. After all, I don't intend to dominate Shenzou and make a blessing or something.'
"I hope so, please work hard."
Neither Cocolia nor Kella are under any pressure. If it really doesn't work, if Cocolia's network is spread to Shenzou, the resistance will naturally disappear.
Before Kevin returned, there were basically no problems that Cocolia couldn't solve in the current world.
"But, the goalkeeper of the Sea of Quanta happens to be Kevin!"
"I know, I'm thinking about it..."
Cocolia leaned back heavily and let out a long sigh. The fatigue of continuing to work overtime in North America also emerged at this moment.
Going to pick up Seele meant that Kevin will return early. This will undoubtedly bring more changes.
But in order to delay Kevin's return, Cocolia was not willing to let Seele wander in the quantum world for a longer time.
Cocolia - Angel was serious about being a mother, otherwise, she would be sorry for the children's dependence on her.
