China — Institute of Renewable Resources
In this solemn and prestigious research facility, the first person to step out of the lab…
Was a petite girl in a cocktail dress, black stockings wrapped around her legs, and mini high-heeled boots clicking against the floor.
"Professor Mini Herta!"
A bespectacled researcher in a white lab coat rushed after her, panting.
Anyone unfamiliar with the institute would be stunned by the sight.
That outfit?
She's actually one of the professors here.
"What is it?"
Mini Herta didn't even glance back, her steps unfaltering—no regard for seniority or courtesy.
But Professor Wang was clearly used to this.
He jogged a few steps to catch up, breathless.
"Your sisters—the other two Mini Hertas—they just folded your experimental data into paper airplanes!"
"The lab is full of them now!
Can you please do something?!"
Mini Herta paused for once.
Professor Wang stood there, hopeful.
He was infamous for his bad temper, but with her?
He couldn't afford it.
Mini Herta was their genius.
A true prodigy.
Her problem-solving skills outpaced every other professor in the institute.
No one knew her real name.
She always introduced herself as "Mini Herta."
Eventually, everyone just went with it.
"You sure?" she asked, frowning.
Professor Wang thought she was finally grasping the gravity of the situation.
He lit up and nodded quickly.
"Absolutely! They've wrecked your lab! We can't even tell which data goes where!"
"I wasn't talking about that."
"Huh? Then what do you mean…?" Wang was confused.
"You're sure they were both folding paper airplanes?"
"???"
Wang was stunned.
What kind of question was that?
Is this how geniuses think?
He calmed himself and replied bitterly:
"Well… I only recognized the paper airplanes.
There were other things too, but I couldn't tell what they were folding…"
Mini Herta's lips curled into a serene smile.
"Good. That makes sense.
The three of us have different personalities."
"This isn't about personality!" Wang groaned.
"It's about the data! This experiment could push our renewable resource project to the next stage!
So… can you resend me the data?"
"No."
Her refusal was instant.
"Why not?!"
"Because I'm going to update."
"Update? Update what? A paper?" Wang was baffled.
"No… myself."
"Yourself?" Wang looked her up and down, confused.
Mini Herta nodded.
"Yes. I'm just a researcher created by Lady Herta for China."
"???"
Wang's worldview shattered.
The backbone of their lab,
The leading expert in renewable energy,
A national treasure…
Was created?
He couldn't believe it.
But then Mini Herta calmly revealed the mechanical structure beneath her neck.
It was real.
"I'm heading back now.
And once I do… I might not return.
Because that event is about to begin."
