Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

The death warriors writhing on the ground fell silent upon seeing Liu Bai.

"Interested in them?"

"Ah, Mr. Liu Bai, welcome back." Liu Ying seemed to only just come to her senses in a fluster. "You...you really caught some very remarkable creatures."

Without needing anyone to explain it to her, Liu Ying had already realized the true nature of these assassins as "monsters".

"Yes, I plan to raise them, to help out and even assist in combat."

"Combat..." The lady beside him seemed to be learning the language.

Well, this thing, being a highly intelligent elite monster, has a pretty good learning ability.

The lightning fire sorcerers I've encountered before could even scream out warnings like "There's an enemy!"

"Huh? Isn't it for generating electricity?"

"...No, we are not stars."

"?" Liu Ying tilted her head. Although she didn't understand Liu Bai's words, she knew that she seemed to have misunderstood Liu Bai's meaning.

No, no, no, it's even worse!

Doesn't this mean that Mr. Liu Bai has gained a group of beautiful and obedient maids?

They are especially aggressive towards outsiders.

"Really not going to use it to generate electricity? I just did some research, and Honkai energy is easier to use than imaginary energy as a form of imaginary power."

Liu Ying has truly discovered that it seems like you can take Honkai energy as long as you're brave enough.

It's completely different from the universe.

As for the harm... actually, the harm doesn't seem to be that great.

—It's as if imaginary numbers can run rampant and yet be quite gentle.

Take the star nucleus, for example.

Although there are rumors that this thing was set up for destruction.

However, it's actually quite strange that the antimatter legion's pursuit of star cores is rather subtle.

If Nanuk really wanted to reclaim them, then why deploy them? For a frisbee game? But the Legion has left behind quite a few star cores.

If it's used as a road marker... to be honest, the antimatter legion could just wander along the route and wipe out a large number of low-level civilizations. The legion isn't going to be trifled with, and it's not afraid of opening multiple battlefronts, so it doesn't need this thing.

To put it bluntly, if the star core falls and becomes activated, the lower-level civilization will most likely still die.

What's even stranger is that star cores can be used as sealing artifacts and energy sources, and can even be auctioned off as treasures, which is completely unlike something that destroys creation.

Star Core Hunters have done things like stealing other people's star cores, which are used as sealing objects or energy sources, causing the world to perish or hasten its demise.

We didn't see the Destruction faction sending people to cause trouble with great enthusiasm, even though they have no morals.

If this thing truly represents the antimatter legion's signal to start a war, probably very few people in the universe would dare to collect it.

It could be said that this thing is not entirely like the Destroyer, and the Destroyer's ability to locate this thing is not like their own—it's even less than that of their Star Core Hunters.

At most, it's just that this thing was born around the same time as Destruction, and that Legion and Star Core appeared together quite often. If Liu Bai knew what Liu Ying was thinking, he definitely wouldn't mind telling her that there was a Star Core that could be glanced at by two opposing Star Gods, Destruction and Preservation, and that it might even be glanced at by other Star Gods in the future.

Coincidences can't provide concrete evidence for powerful figures, but ordinary people can say whatever they want—saying "Trump got screwed" is a completely different thing when it comes from an ordinary citizen and when it comes from the president of a country.

And then there's Eriol... Although Firefly couldn't figure out what Eriol was up to, she vaguely knew that Eriol might be involved in something related to the Last King, and his goal might be destruction.

However, the fate between destruction and the last king is somewhat unclear...

When you have some free time and think about it carefully, you'll realize that there's more to it than meets the eye.

Moreover, the disaster caused by the star core... isn't actually that "destructive".

Even something as easily disorderly as this can still attract a huge following.

Not to mention Honkai energy, which is an even more readily available energy source.

Instability is just a minor issue.

As for Elio?

Firefly didn't care what he wanted to do; the Star Core Hunters were just following orders to achieve their own goals.

"Um... I can still make some simple power generation devices like hamster wheels."

Should we start with the hamster wheel or take it slow? Hmm, let's use learning and progress as an excuse to gradually introduce more advanced power generation devices.

"Firefly... Haven't you noticed that our appliances don't need electricity?"

"Eh eh eh eh?"

Liu Ying looked shocked—it seemed the girl had just realized.

"That's how the code is written," Bai explained simply.

"Hmm...it feels even more absurd than Punk Lord..."

Liu Ying felt a little embarrassed, as she hadn't really paid much attention to these eight (common sense) things...

"Sigh, I really envy Liu Ying for having such a sound sense of common sense," Gui Naifen sighed from the side.

It seems there are benefits to keeping it obediently in the pot like a good baby.

"?"

Liu Ying looked completely bewildered.

However, Liu Ying didn't dwell on Gui Naifen's gossip for too long, and instead asked Liu Bai about the arrangements for these assassins: "Should we put them on another island?"

“That’s right! But funds are limited… Let’s buy a fence from the spirit pot first.”

"Isn't the difference too big?" Gui Naifen had seen what fences looked like before. "Is it made of meteorite crystal or divine amber?"

"Probably wood?"

"Will that be enough to keep them locked up?"

"Should? You must believe in yourself, believe in Huang Quan."

"Yes, I will take care of it."

Huang Quan nodded calmly beside him.

Anyway, she really didn't have much fun all day, so it wouldn't hurt to find something to do.

"...No, what I actually meant was, can't we just build something like stone walls or iron ramparts? Miss Huang Quan, aren't you spoiling the boss too much?"

"I have no money." Bai spread his hands. "Besides, you can spoil me a little."

"...Try to bargain with the spirit of the pot? Boss, aren't you the master? Try to be cute and speak more politely, right? At least a stone wall would make people feel safe, wouldn't it? Hmm, a stone wall."

The old knight who protected them back then was known as "Stonewall".

...Unfortunately, Gui Naifen never remembered the other person's real name until the very end.

"Then... let me try?"

After thinking it over, Liu Bai felt that it wasn't impossible to do this, but it was a practical matter. He believed that with his charm, he could negotiate more freely.

"Go for it, boss! Do you need me, Xiao Guizi, to be your cheerleader?"

“That’s absolutely not necessary.”

Taking a deep breath, Liu Bai walked back to the door.

“That… Pot Spirit, ah no, A Yuan.”

The spirit of the pot in my memory was called A Yuan, right?

"?"

The spirit of the pot looked at Liu Bai with a puzzled expression, then turned its head in a cute and endearing way.

Hey, is this considered a Cold War?

Or is it that the other person's name isn't A Yuan?

"Ah... Ah-du?"

There should be another pot spirit with this name, right?

Anyway, Liu Bai couldn't remember what the spirit of the pot was called.

"?"

The spirit continued to look at Liu Bai with a puzzled expression, then looked around.

"..."

Hey, you little spirit, you're really asking for it!

"The spirit of the pot?"

"Yes, Master. What are your orders?"

"...Why is your tone the same? You only respond when I call you Hu Ling?"

"Huh? Because I am the spirit of the pot."

The spirit in the pot spoke with a hint of grievance in its voice.

Liu Bai scratched his head.

Why are you making it seem like I'm the one who's wrong?

"Your name isn't A-Yuan?"

"I won't call it."

"Adu?"

"It wasn't me... I didn't understand who you were calling just now either."

"...No, you're really not called A-Yuan? Didn't you already introduce yourself to me?"

“But you skipped that. I didn’t have a chance to say it. Although the name A Yuan sounds cute, I have my own name.”

The spirit of the pot, bewildered, pushed the lid of the pot on its head.

"..."

Oh dear, thinking back, I did offend the spirit of the pot when I first arrived—more than once.

"Ahem, so... what's your name?"

"Little Ai."

"...Xiao Ai, right?"

Chapter Ninety-Eight Brother, You Smell So Good

"Xiao Guizi."

"Oh, you're there? What's up?"

"I've decided that I will listen to others properly from now on."

"Isn't that basic etiquette?"

"Well, that makes sense."

Liu Bai chuckled twice, holding the building blocks he had bought at a 60% discount.

Although the name "Xiao Ai" sounds a bit out of place in both the original and real worlds, she is indeed a very kind-hearted person.

The fact that he could get a 60% discount was completely unexpected for Liu Bai.

"Let's build it on Mirage Island, since some parts of the island don't have very good terrain."

"It's up to you."

Gui Naifen scratched her head. Zhuji Island was big enough; they didn't need the rest of the island.

As long as Liu Bai doesn't do anything too outrageous, no one will care about him.

"However, you must give the orders carefully and calculate the duration of the drug's effects. I don't want to be attacked in the middle of the night."

"Yes Yes Yes."
