Mei: Is my dream of being a housekeeper going to disappear?

"In the future era, there are many types of humans. There's gender modification with mechanical organs, gender modification with organ transplants, and hormone adjustments through embryo cultivation. And then there's my kind, where you can change however you want."

"Tesla can't do it to that extent yet. Because the accumulated genetic information isn't up to par, Tesla can't achieve the 'change however you want' level yet. That's why we need functional organ tissues like this to accomplish the task."

Noldrei pointed to the massive red embryo nest beside him.

'You really didn't bother decorating it, huh? This thing is so ugly, it makes you not want to trust it. Can this even be considered an organ? I thought organs were just flesh and blood tissues woven inside the human body. I didn't expect there to be such large-scale, externally fabricated organs. This is seriously creepy…'

Kiana reached out and touched the thing. You could even see exposed flesh on it.

"How does this thing even work?"

"Material exchange and replacement, returning to an embryonic state for recombination. This is the lowest cost model. For example, if I take some appearance genes from Tesla, I can transform Raiden Ryoma into a woman who looks just like Dr. Tesla. Or, we can modify the original owner's genes and replicate the appearance of their ancestors."

Noldrei's words made Tesla very unhappy. Why use her appearance?

Wouldn't it be better for Raiden Ryoma to grow a woman's face on her own?

Tesla said with displeasure, "I think we need to follow up on gene-related patents! Why should my face be freely shared with humanity? If so many people look like me, what's the point of having this face?"

Noldrei naturally replied, "You can change your face too. Wouldn't it be better to have a new face that better suits your aesthetics then?"

He didn't think a face was anything to care about. What he preferred was the unadorned appearance of a featureless lump of clay.

Currently, the one in the whole family that best fit his aesthetics was Kiana's pink ball form.

But Tesla thought this was very bad. She must issue an imperial decree in Academy City. Everyone in Academy City must avoid her appearance and only she alone was allowed to use the Tesla-exclusive face passed down from her ancestors.

Luckily, Noldrei didn't know what Tesla was thinking. Otherwise, he would definitely give this feudal old woman two tentacle whips to let her taste the strike of progressivism.

It's likely Tesla hadn't even considered what to do if there was someone else in the world who resembled her.

She certainly wouldn't think that much. In that case, she'd just tell those people to change their faces.

Kiana was completely unaware that her Crown Princess authority was being shaken.

But Bronya had different concerns. Her dissatisfaction lay in the fact that if everyone could cheaply change their faces, it would mean all current facial recognition machines would be rendered useless. What would they use for identification and surveillance then?

How would she manage the Academy City security forces? Wouldn't anyone be able to infiltrate the security system?

Noldrei had long anticipated this and the identity ID system was launched precisely for this step.

"Fully roll out the identity ID system, binding essential genetic information to each individual. There are a total of 20,000 to 23,000 genes in the human body. The arrangement of these little things varies, enough to precisely lock down all of humanity within identity IDs. We currently don't intend to promote the idea of free gender and appearance outside of Academy City. We'll implement it in Academy City for a while before preparing to sell the identity ID technology externally."

"Don't worry too much about technology leaks. It's best if each country's identity ID coding is different. Our goal is just to push our gene construction relationship out there. As for who controls this relationship, it's completely irrelevant."

Noldrei had no intention of unifying world identities, and was even happy to see the current trend of identity ID fragmentation. Currently, humanity doesn't have enough external threats. The threat of the Honkai has also been mostly shouldered by him. So, there needs to be enough internal conflict and competition.

"His Majesty the Emperor is truly wicked…" Bronya sighed.

She genuinely believed Noldrei was a master of creating chaos in the world, and his power to strike modern society was far beyond that of a Herrscher of the Honkai.

Herrschers are deadly, but Noldrei is soul-crushing.

Kiana asked again, "Compared to these things, is there a better way to unify languages and writing systems? It would be even better if there was a symbol system that better met human communication needs."

Kiana had always found it too troublesome to learn foreign languages. Although her current body didn't need to care about these things, she had to consider the needs of others.

"The Stigmata Space can actually achieve this. We need to create a qualified genetic system, not just for learning languages and writing, but also for other learning projects." Dr. Tesla could already foresee it. She seemed to see the ability to directly instill relevant learning memories into people through Stigmata armor using genetic information.

At the same time, there would inevitably be various learning techniques, knowledge systems, etc., which could simultaneously massively reduce the need for re-learning specialized knowledge among the higher-ups.

Completely eradicating the previous situation of laymen leading experts, and experts leading laymen!

Tesla's face flushed with excitement. It seemed she had suffered quite a bit from Anti-Entropy's previous internal problems.

Kiana chuckled awkwardly. She hadn't thought about turning all researchers into combat personnel in Stigmata armor. If things continued like this, Dr. Tesla might even want to completely break down the boundaries between civilian and military roles.

Humans have subject divisions because of the upper limit of their learning ability. If this learning limit can be broken, naturally normal combined learning will occur, and then gradually influence the upper levels, leading to combined management.

But Kiana was still a little worried. She couldn't help but look at the last 'ordinary person' among them.

The housekeeper older sister – Raiden Mei.

"Mei, what do you think?"

Raiden Mei was shocked by the imagination of this group of people. She suddenly thought of a very serious and deadly problem.

She had thought she could be a housekeeper her whole life, living peacefully and plainly like this. If possible, it would be even better if she could die of old age before her friends one day, and then watch young Kiana sadly see her, who had become an old lady, off.

But now Noldrei had advanced Academy City to this extent, didn't that mean…

Mei exclaimed in shock, "Is my dream of being a housekeeper going to disappear?!"

"That's what you're worried about?! Why is it that Mei-nee, who has Stigmata Will, can control Honkai energy, and has S-rank Valkyrie potential, actually dreams of being a housekeeper?! Didn't you want to inherit the Hokushin style?" Bronya's sharp retort was as fast as a machine gun.

She completely hadn't expected that Raiden Mei was completely used to this kind of life.

"Kendo and stuff is just a hobby. My dream is to live this kind of peaceful and ordinary life. What's wrong with being a housekeeper? Seeing the smiles on my friends' faces when they eat the food I make is the most important thing."

Raiden Mei clutched her head, lost in an unbelievable future.

"Where did this Far East Little Chef come from?" Kiana really couldn't hold back her laughter. [refers to the protagonist of the anime Cooking Master Boy]
