Honkai: Star Rail: From the Start, I Use a Lie Detector to Make Herta Cry

I transmigrate and immediately get treated like a lab rat by Herta. From the start, I'm about to be flattened by a giant hammer!

At the critical moment, I think fast and claim to be an "outsider from beyond the stars" who can foresee the future, then turn around and pin the blame on Aha, the Aeon of Elation!

With story-based Curios and an Infinite Time Practice Room, I turn jokes and legends from Earth into rule-based Curios, making my tall tales come true!

Herta asks me to memorize a mansion floor plan more complicated than a star chart? I run through it in my mindscape for a hundred years and memorize it in a second!

She asks me to help build the Simulated Universe? I whip out "Schrodinger's Cat" and the "Dark Forest Theory," giving the Simulated Universe a will of its own!

Gradually, the whole universe thinks I'm a peerless genius hiding my true abilities, and even Nous looks at me with approval.

When the cool, cunning Herta corners me against the wall, her beautiful eyes hazy as she asks, "Just how many secrets are you still hiding?"

I'm panicking.

"If I tell you I'm really not a genius, will you believe me?!"
