The restrictions for the Valkyrie battlesuits belonging to [Battlesuit: White Comet] are extremely strict.
Bai Ming could even see a clear lock icon next to each battlesuit model.
In contrast, the control over Stigmata could almost be described as non-existent!
Yes.
Regarding the Stigmata [Lucia (Top) ☆☆☆] she had just obtained not long ago, Bai Ming's authority to dispose of it was quite high.
Apart from [Gift], there were also options like [Dismantle] and [Reforge].
These were not originally part of the Honkai Impact 3 game.
Guess you have some conscience after all!
Bai Ming couldn't help but like this.
However, there wasn't much time to think about how to best handle these things now.
Bai Ming looked at the group of Void Ranger Ravagers approaching her.
This was a matter of life and death now!
Not giving the two much time to think further, these Ravagers directly launched an attack against Bai Ming and March 7th.
The method of attack was the same as before, but it became somewhat troublesome due to the increased numbers.
With March 7th behind her, Bai Ming didn't dare to charge forward and beat them up with the baseball bat like last time, instead adopting a more conservative approach.
Fortunately, [Battlesuit: White Comet] wasn't limited to just the previous combat mode.
With some slight adjustments, it could also be switched to provide methods of substantial control.
For example, the [Meteor Fragment] from [Gun Kata], originally used to increase damage, could be changed to [Comet Heart Breaker], which interrupts enemies and also causes a subsequent stun effect.
[Comet Blast] could also be switched to [Aerial Spiral].
The landing damage was replaced by a stun effect provided after a series of maneuvers.
The follow-up effect of [Valkyrie Burst] was also changed to a defense boost.
After simply changing a set of configurations, Bai Ming entered a state that relatively emphasized defense and control.
This could protect both herself and March 7th on the scene to the greatest extent.
But at the same time, a very obvious problem also surfaced before Bai Ming.
That was the "performance deficiency" of [Battlesuit: White Comet].
Although in the setting, as a 3rd-generation Valkyrie battlesuit, White Comet is supposed to be comparable to Moonbeam.
Currently, as a B-rank Valkyrie battlesuit, its performance is noticeably somewhat inferior.
Once the focus shifts to defense and control, it falls into a state of relatively insufficient damage output.
What can be relied upon now is only March 7th behind her.
However.
Although March 7th's combat ability is certainly not weak, the sheer number of enemies is a real issue.
If they want to clear them out efficiently, they must increase the "firepower" output on their side.
Bai Ming recalled the Stigmata [Lucia (Top) ☆☆☆] again – it could boost ranged damage.
So, it should have an effect on March 7th too!
However, Bai Ming also remembered that this Stigmata could cause physical harm to the owner.
Let me test it on myself first!
While fending off the still-advancing Ravagers, Bai Ming activated [Lucia (Top) ☆☆☆].
Of course.
All the attributes of this Stigmata were meaningless to her at this moment.
Her only goal was to test for March 7th whether this Stigmata would cause any physical burden.
The result... was zero burden!
The Stigmata had almost no effect on her whatsoever!
Now she could safely give it to March 7th!
[Gift]
Bai Ming pressed this option as fast as possible. A corresponding prompt sounded in her ear.
[The standard method for gifting a Stigmata requires both parties to kiss]
[Cannot be terminated before the gifting process is completed]
Without much hesitation, Bai Ming immediately called out to the person behind her:
"March!"
"W-what is it?"
March 7th, busy dealing with the Ravagers in front of her, looked at Bai Ming with a puzzled expression.
"It's a bit noisy, I can't hear you very clearly!"
"Is that so?"
A sharp glint flashed through Bai Ming's golden eyes.
"Just be quiet for a moment! Can't you see we're in the middle of something important?!"
Shouting this, she turned her head and swung her baseball bat towards the Ravagers still lunging from behind.
Instantly, they were sent flying and dissipated on the ground.
This scene more or less had an impact on the remaining Ravagers.
They were briefly intimidated, frozen in place, and actually forgot to attack for a moment.
Seizing this opportunity, Bai Ming turned back and spoke to March 7th in front of her:
"So annoying, if she were my girlfriend, I could just kiss her openly right now!"
"Huh?"
March 7th didn't have time to process the immense amount of information contained in that statement.
Bai Ming directly kissed her.
March 7th initially thought this was an impulsive act by Bai Ming after being rejected earlier, but she soon realized that wasn't the case.
She could feel a certain power slowly implanting itself into her body through those soft lips.
She couldn't name it, but she could feel that power slowly extending to every part of her body.
March 7th looked at Bai Ming before her, her eyes filled with more curiosity.
What was she imparting something to her?
Something good?
Something bad?
It was probably the former.
After all, it had been a long time since she last felt this comfortable all over.
March 7th stopped resisting.
She just kept looking at Bai Ming, allowing her to slowly integrate that miraculous feeling into her body.
This had nothing to do with emotions.
It was just that March 7th realized she didn't dislike this.
Moreover, she could sense that at the end of this kiss, something was waiting for her.
Pat.
A certain card peeked out from March 7th's clothes pocket, then revealed more of itself until it finally fell to the ground.
It was a card that looked full of technological flair, obviously very precious at first glance.
The Ravagers snapped out of the daze caused by Bai Ming's baseball bat swing.
They brandished the blades on their arms, intending to launch another attack against the two.
And in this atmosphere, Bai Ming's process of gifting the Stigmata also ended in a gentle way.
Reluctantly, she released March 7th's lips and grinned.
"Ah! That feeling was really quite nice!"
"You... what did you do?"
March 7th touched her own lips, cautiously and she asked.
"Well... it might be complicated to explain."
"But there's one thing I can confirm."
"What is it?" March 7th pressed.
"And that is..."
Bai Ming pointed at March 7th's hands and her bow.
"You've been upgraded by me!"
