[Real World]
The second video plot of Honkai Impact 3rd caused wide discussion on the internet and also brought astonishing popularity.
This huge popularity naturally attracted the attention of some related departments.
Adding the special nature of the Honkai 3rd video content, these departments had no choice but to take it seriously.
After all, if this video was just the author creating hype to gain traffic, that would be fine. But what if it was real...
To verify this guess, the related departments even invited many world-renowned scientists and researchers to authenticate the content of the video.
Among them were famous biologist Mobius, and the #83 member of the Genius Society, "Miss Herta," and so on...
However, despite the great effort spent to verify the video's content, the result was still disappointing.
Aside from the places and characters mentioned in the video being real in the real world, there were no clues to any other information.
As for what exactly "Honkai" is, that was even more out of reach.
Just as the departments were preparing to shelve this research proposal, the Genius Society #83 member "Miss Herta" proposed a different viewpoint.
"For most ordinary people, having no problems is a good thing. But for geniuses like us, having no problems is the biggest problem."
"A video that suddenly exploded online, logically speaking, it shouldn't have been able to gather us all here. But it did."
"And what caught my attention the most was the company behind the video's author, 'MiHoyo.'"
"At first, I thought it was just an ordinary company. But as I investigated further, I was surprised to discover that this company called MiHoyo has, over the years, invested in various tech companies all around the world, big and small, including our own 'Herta Space Station'..."
Hearing this, a male scientific researcher whose name was unknown raised a doubt and said, "Miss Herta, what you just said at most can prove that this company has a significant background, but it can't prove the authenticity of the video content."
According to common sense, being interrupted and having one's viewpoint questioned would already make most people upset, but Herta didn't show the slightest sign of annoyance.
This might be just her personality, or perhaps it's related to the industry she's in.
After all, to make a career in the scientific field, the most important quality is the "courage to question authority."
To this, Herta smiled slightly, "Indeed, as this gentleman just said, what I said earlier cannot prove the video's authenticity…"
Hearing Herta agree with his viewpoint, the male researcher's face lit up with joy. Because just now, he successfully questioned the Genius Society #83 member "Miss Herta".
As long as Herta couldn't answer his challenge, there was a high chance he'd be featured in the next issue of a scientific journal.
If nothing unexpected happened, he was going to become famous.
However, just when people say "nothing unexpected will happen," something unexpected usually happens.
Herta changed her tone and continued, "But what I said wasn't meant to prove anything. I was merely providing a train of thought for 'solving the problem.' For top students, teaching someone to fish is better than giving them a fish. But for low-performing students, unless you hand them the answer step-by-step, they won't understand anything."
At this point, Herta paused and glanced sideways, her meaning was self-evident.
The male researcher, labeled as a low-performer, was just about to react, but this time, Herta didn't give him a chance to speak.
"I want to ask all the geniuses here, the elites of various industries, ask yourselves, who among you can invest as precisely and accurately as this company MiHoyo?"
Herta's words struck like a heavy hammer, waking up everyone in the room.
That's right. Even the world's most famous investment masters can't make every investment pay off, but this MiHoyo could.
This alone proved that the company was extraordinary. And would such an extraordinary company go to such great lengths just to make a hype video?
Seeing everyone's expressions of sudden realization, Herta smiled brightly and concluded, "Although, at this very moment, we can't find any traces of this company with our own abilities, I believe that as time goes on and the Honkai 3rd video continues to update, more and more clues will reveal themselves to us."
Hearing this, some people with sharp thinking had already left early, and Mobius was among them.
Which, of course, led to some teasing from her acquaintances, "Mobius, aren't you someone who devotes herself entirely to biological evolution research? What, thinking of changing research fields now?"
"Boring." Mobius clicked her tongue in disdain, ignored the teasing, and walked out of the conference room with long strides.
However, after stepping out of the room, Mobius pulled out her phone with a serious expression and dialed a number.
The call was quickly connected.
Mobius went straight to the point, "Inform everyone in the lab, we can begin the research I proposed earlier... Also, remember to bring that newly joined young girl in the lab..."
After giving instructions, Mobius entered the elevator. Looking at the bright light in the elevator, Mobius' expression only grew darker.
"As expected... the fragments I dreamed of... were real."

Meanwhile, in the conference room.
Inspired by Herta, most of the people in the room had already left, but a few still chose to stay.
For them, rather than chasing after an abstract and far-fetched research topic, it was better to interact more and exchange ideas with renowned peers.
After all, scientific research isn't just about fighting and killing, there's also human relationships and sentiment.
After politely declining the 13th person who wanted to co-research with her, Herta elegantly walked to a corner of the room.
There stood a male researcher radiating the aura of "defeat."
To be precise, it was the researcher who had questioned Herta earlier.
Seeing Herta's movement, everyone present revealed expressions like they were watching a show.
Facing Herta's approach, the male researcher only grew more and more nervous. At this moment, his heart was full of nothing but regret. Deep, deep regret.
But as they say, high returns come with high risk. Since he chose this path, he had to accept the consequences. Thinking of this, the researcher had already prepared to switch careers.
However, the development didn't go as he expected.
The other party neither humiliated him nor used her status to suppress him.
Herta simply smiled and said, "No matter your intent, I do admire your courage to question authority. But do you know where your only mistake was?"
The male researcher shook his head helplessly.
Looking at his sweat-covered face, Herta smiled radiantly, "You shouldn't have just called me Miss Herta, you should've called me the unmatched, exceptionally brilliant, breathtaking beauty… Miss Herta."
