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

Kujo Sara apologized readily.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Master Ying."

"Stop talking...Sara..."

A short while later, Ragnar came over with another plate of snacks, and the group stopped talking.

"Can I take it to go?" Bai asked Ragnar.

“…Of course.” Ragnar paused for a moment, then nodded. “I’ll help.”

After receiving a positive answer, Liu Bai ordered some desserts—after all, there were so many people in the family, and he had to bring some back for them.

After a while, Ragnar watched the group leave and then used his bracelet to call Rita.

"Hello~ This is Rita Losweiser."

"Take a quick look at the caller ID, Rita."

"Excuse me, excuse me, Lord Ragnar, is there anything I can help you with?" Rita, who was making tea in the room, was slightly surprised.

"The pig you chose has gone out."

"……what?"

"Little cabbage, you're trying to lure a pig to the coffee shop, aren't you?"

"...What nonsense are you spouting, Lord Ragnar?"

Rita's hands were quite steady as she poured the tea.

"First of all... well, I do have some intention of luring Mr. Liu Bai away. Secondly, I would like a dozen of Mr. Liu Bai's 'pigs'."

"It's just a metaphor—that's not the point. The point is... I've already spotted two women around him who might be interested in him."

"Oh...so?"

Rita put down the pot with some confusion and pondered for a moment.

“I understand, Lord Ragnar, you don’t need to worry about it.”

Rita thought for a moment before realizing what Ragnar meant. Wasn't "pigs rooting up cabbages" just a metaphor for relationships between men and women?

As for the relationship between men and women... well, although she admits it was abduction, this abduction is not the same as that abduction.

Hmm... it's not entirely out of the question, but it's still too early. We should at least resolve the issues with Kiana and the Herrscher before considering these things.

"...You really don't need to worry about it."

“I’m not you, Lord Ragnar,” Rita replied with a smile.

"Waaah! Give me back that innocent little angel I used to know!"

"Sorry~ The angel has fallen into the abyss~"

Rita's lighthearted reply even included a pinch on his cheek at the "Abyss Angels" café.

…………

"Next, we're going to Dr. Möbius's lab. Who wants to go back to the pot first?"

No one present wanted to return to the pot—after all, the laboratory was still a "wonderful place" full of imagination for outsiders.

Apart from Kujo Sara, the others were still very eager to visit. Even Kitsuri was curious about Mebius's workplace—although she had already heard Kujo Sara mention it before.

However, Fox Palace felt that Kujo Sara's description of the laboratory was a bit too demonized.

Well, Kujo Sara only went to Mebius's lab twice. The first time was after he captured Kiana, and the second time was... when he brought Kiana in for a checkup, and incidentally, he also visited the jackal being forced to drink alcohol on the bed.

The first time was alright, but the second time... even Kujo Sara had to admit that she had a phobia of Mebius's laboratory ever since that incident—especially since Mebius was planning to give Kiana the drug as well.

To be honest, it's not scary physically at all, but psychologically... Kujo Sara finds it scarier than a horror movie.

Kujo Sara even felt that one day he might replace the Jackal because of Mebius's curiosity.

...Even so, Kujo Sara did not back down at this moment.

Don't ask, the answer is simply that I'm strong enough.

Kujo Sara took two deep breaths: "May I ask why you want to go to the professor's place?"

"Since the Doctor has been quite busy lately, could you perhaps go and help out? Also, could you check on Kiana's situation?"

"Well……"

An argument that is completely irrefutable.

Afterwards, the six people called two cars and arrived at Shencheng Pharmacy in a short time.

"This entire area belongs to Shencheng Medicine?" Fox Palace was slightly surprised.

"Mm." Bai nodded.

Although he usually only goes in and out of the office building, in reality, the entire Shencheng Pharmaceutical also includes a large area of ​​factories, laboratories and other miscellaneous places.

This place should actually be called the "Shencheng Pharmaceutical Industrial Park".

It is no exaggeration to say that Shencheng Pharmaceutical is the largest enterprise in Tianqiong City in the true sense.

This explains why Mebius's underground laboratory has so much space, and can even house a large number of undead and special Honkai beasts.

The office building is just an entrance.

"Hmm... I feel like we could collaborate on pharmaceuticals?"

Fox Palace silently pondered in her heart, "Sara never said this place looked so proper."

"Are you selling medicine legitimately?"

"Yes." Bai nodded. "They are making real money, and they are even partners with Destiny."

"That's really an exaggeration..." Fox Palace exclaimed.

Cocolia stood beside her, looking on with envy.

Upon entering the office building, Huzhaigong didn't feel anything special, but Liu Bai could clearly see that it was visibly busier than before.

Because the Honkai energy activity here has exceeded control, the number of Honkai disease patients has begun to surge.

"It seems like there are more people coming and going..."

"Yes, because of the Honkai disease, the doctor is receiving patients from within the city."

Now, the World Serpent is ultimately under the control of Mebius, so the World Serpent is also systematically accepting Honkai disease patients.

"I really couldn't tell..." Josara's expression was strange.

Liu Bai suddenly thought of something.

"Hey, how about we make a bet?"

“Alright, I’ll bet my shadow.” Fox Palace didn’t even ask Liu Bai what he wanted to bet.

"Woo..."

“…Never mind then.” Shiro rolled her eyes, then looked at Kujo Sara. “Sara, do you believe that if I ask the doctor about these patients, she will definitely say that they are her human experimental subjects?”

"Huh?" Tōsara didn't quite understand what Liu Bai meant by that.

Seeing this, Liu Bai shrugged and led everyone underground.

"Good afternoon, senior... oh no, guinea pig senior!"

In the laboratory area, Danzhu was still as energetic and lively as ever.

"You don't need to emphasize the lab rats." Bai rolled her eyes at Danzhu, then took out a box of pastries. "Here, a token of appreciation."

"Thank you, senior guinea pig!"

[Danzhu's Favorability: 2127]

Liu Bai didn't have much contact with Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan, so she didn't gain much favor with them usually. Fortunately, it wasn't difficult to raise their favorability.

Besides, I'm currently at a charm level that's already exceeded the limit.

The charm at level 12 is just as valuable as Huang Quan's level 12... The Flying Robe's ability to ignore the upper limit for boosting one's charm is indeed quite incredible. Now, other people's initial favorability towards me, especially those who are attracted to my looks, is even higher.

Of course, some characters, like Mikoto Chiyo, may appear to have initial favorability, but in reality, they already knew about him unilaterally and formed an initial impression in their minds. It was only after they met each other that their favorability was revealed.

Danzhu accepted the snacks with great delight.

"Senior, are you here to see the PhD again today? In the innermost lab, no less."

"Then why are you just loitering around here as an assistant?"

"Slacking off, huh?" Danzhu said confidently, puffing out her chest.

...Where does this urge to press come from?

Liu Bai suppressed the instinctive signals from his brain and tapped Danzhu on the head.

"Waaah... It's not like I'm the only one slacking off, my sister's doing it too! Sis—!"

"Danzhu? There's a senior here?"

A head peeked out from the lounge.

"Here you are, a token of my appreciation... although I really don't want to give it to you all, seeing how you're slacking off."

"Thank you, senior."

Cang Xuan jogged out and took the snacks.

[Cang Xuan's Favorability: 2127]

"Hmm...Is Klein working overtime?"

Liu Bai glanced at the lounge. Although he couldn't see everything, he had a feeling about it.

After all, he is the one who is "fake".

"As expected of the guinea pig senior! Here, a reward!"

Danzhu acknowledged it in an award-winning tone, then stood on tiptoe and stuffed a biscuit into Liu Bai's mouth.

"...What kind of reward is this?" Bai swallowed the biscuit and tapped Danzhu with his hand.

They even bribed me with my things.

...It's only because you two are so cute.

And the feeling of being suddenly fed isn't bad, is it?

"Can't you two go and help?"

"But we'd only be a hindrance if we went," Danzhu continued, spreading her hands. "Although my sister and I know a little about biology, neither of us are professionals in this field."

Cang Xuan nodded in agreement from the side.

"..."

Well, that's true. Although both of them studied biology due to the Honkai, and were even quite proficient, Cangxuan's main profession was computer research, while Danzhu was involved in social sciences and humanities. Of course, Danzhu was actually a jack-of-all-trades and master of none.

"Ah, don't look at us like that. Actually, the Doctor herself is mostly making things worse."

Danzhu scratched his head.

"If you think about it that way, maybe it's just that Senior Klein is being too stubborn, and the problem isn't with us!"

Cang Xuan nodded again.

God knows why what Klein could do in an hour by herself took two hours when the four of them worked together...

Yes, it's actually making things worse than helping.

However, they weren't completely useless; they were actually quite capable of doing their own thing.

...So the problem lies with Klein, isn't it?

Even Mebius's curls aren't this tight!

"...Not really surprising."

Liu Bai rolled her eyes.

Although these two little ones seem useless, they just lack a stage – even if they did have a stage presence, they'd be rather clueless.

Klein's problem was that she wasn't "high-end" enough; she could only really be an assistant, and these two were only assigned the assistant role by Möbius...
