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

He... was somewhat curious about Vita's true identity.

Time postponed

I got called by a friend to go rob someone, so updates might be around 4 PM. Ugh, robbers are a menace.

Chapter 170 An Impossible Worldline

Generally speaking, there are no strong people without a reason.

—Okay, although some games will unexpectedly place a powerful character who is almost like a parachuted-in character, who is not mentioned in the main storyline, but whose combat power is off the charts, as if they are just waiting for the player to accidentally kill them.

In addition, Kevin and Sue are gathered around Vita, so the Herrscher of Domination has nothing better to do than keep an eye on these people.

Of course, just keeping an eye on her is enough. Liu Bai doesn't really expect the Herrscher of Domination to take action—in fact, given Vita's current strength, taking action might not be impossible for her to win.

But... what is the reason for taking action?

There's no need for that.

Liu Bai's goal is to acquire all available combat power.

"I have to go to the Chamber of Commerce this afternoon to discuss serious business. Liuying, would you like to wander around some more or go back to the pot?"

"Um... I... I'll just wander around?"

Kafka's eyes seemed to carry a threat, making it difficult for Firefly to escape the "place of trouble" even if she wanted to.

Kaffa's gentle yet indifferent gaze conveyed a threatening message: "If you don't go to a hotel, I'll expose you."

goo...

What could be more humiliating than handing over the man you love to another woman's bed?

"Then... be careful?"

Liu Bai's tone was somewhat confused.

I have a feeling that these two are doing something behind his back.

...Well, it's normal for old colleagues to have some personal matters.

Liu Bai knew there might be something fishy going on, but there was no need to worry about it now, and Kafka wasn't the kind of person who acted without restraint.

Now he just lends a hand when he sees something wrong, making sure there are no problems as much as possible, and preventing any problems from escalating.

Let's finish the important things first.

Otherwise... well, to give an example, setting aside the tasks assigned by Huang Quan, what if Liu Bai were to indulge in debauchery with Huang Quan after his first transformation...

Well, that depends on how deep Huang Quan's desires are.

This could then lead to problems with other people's mentality—after all, if you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

Yes, compared to Kafka, Huang Quan's "degree" is more Schrödinger's cat. You might say that this person has a degree, but when he clearly perceives the problem, he uses three tubes of love elixir.

Okay, three tubes aren't a problem, since the Love Elixir will distort consciousness to some extent.

However, Huang Quan was not without limits. She managed to restrain the distortion caused by the love potion and only did the handiwork and chest repair for Liu Bai. It can be said that Huang Quan lingered on the red line for a long time before finally choosing not to cross it.

If we had actually crossed it back then...

Huang Lingquan let his desires run wild, surging towards Shan Lingyi... The feeling might be that it's a device ending (but it's more likely to be an ending...).

For example... in the urban area of ​​the Sky Dome District, in a hidden paradise within a pot that no one can find...

Okay, that's enough of the jokes.

In short, once is a reward, three times is indulgence, ten times is murder...

The scenario where Liu Bai is chained up and repeatedly humiliated by countless lesbians is not a timeline with an absolute zero probability of occurrence.

Happiness and hell are often separated by only a thin line.

Liu Bai shook off the jumbled thoughts in his mind and looked at Kafka.

"So you'll come with me to the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Well, after all, as a secretary... you need to manage not only internal affairs but also official business."

Hey, are you some ancient head maid from somewhere? Handling both official and household chores...?

However, Kafka seems to be enjoying herself quite a bit; her current outfit actually looks quite stylish and gives off a strong, independent woman vibe.

After they parted ways, Firefly immediately received a text message from Kafka.

The above is... the name of a hotel.

At first, you were just looking for things on your own, but now you're assigning specific tasks to yourself, right?

The firefly was furious.

Then, in a fit of extreme anger... he became extremely angry for a moment.

She messed with Firefly! Kaffa messed with Cotton!

There was nothing I could do; I couldn't beat them in a fight, I couldn't win an argument, and they had something on me.

What else can she do? The most useful thing she learned after staying here for so long is—life goes on.

Liu Ying let out a long breath.

However, there should still be time. She's now... unusually inclined to chop something up.

I remember Xiao Guizi mentioning before that there might be Honkai Beasts in some abandoned parks and buildings in the suburbs, right?

...Let's set the building on fire.

…………

"...Is it really okay if fireflies appear?"

At the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Bai suddenly mentioned fireflies.

"Or is it really true that there's nothing between you and Liuying?"

"No, as for Ryuhoku... she's a strong girl."

Kafka wouldn't mind praising Firefly a few times.

"Moreover, he has a very stable personality and won't cause any trouble."

Stable personality... Well, before Kafka came, Ying was indeed very stable. During the day, she stayed in her room like a homebody, occasionally being dragged out to cook. From Liu Bai's perspective, it was probably a simple, unpretentious, and boring life.

However, Liu Ying seemed to enjoy it.

However, since Kaffa arrived, Firefly's activity level has suddenly increased today, and she's been showing more troubled expressions—Kaffa has clearly caused Firefly considerable anxiety.

It's one thing for her to follow him around randomly, but this time she's started running around randomly on her own.

Hmm... Although there's no need to doubt Liu Ying's judgment as the most ruthless warrior among the Star Core Hunters, I'm still a little worried overall.

"..."

Liu Bai glanced at Kafka.

Knowing that this wicked woman didn't want to say anything, Liu Bai rolled her eyes.

Kafka still wore a helpless smile.

It wasn't that she didn't want to say it, but rather that Liu Ying didn't want to say it, and she respected Liu Ying's opinion.

Liu Bai led Kafka into the Chamber of Commerce, and this time, Ye Lan quickly came out to greet them.

"...Another bodyguard?"

Without a doubt, Kaffa's strong presence makes everyone who knows Liu Bai mention Kaffa first.

“Secretary,” Kafka corrected with a smile.

Ye Lan's expression was unreadable.

—As a highly experienced intelligence chief, Kafka possessed a very strong sense of unease.

The "femme fatale" quality is not so important.

“A dangerous individual…” Ye Lan pouted.

If someone like that enters Liyue, you'd need at least a dozen people to monitor them around the clock just to feel a little at ease.

"Let's go to my office."

Ye Lan stopped caring about Kafka's affairs and took Liu Bai upstairs in the elevator.

In the office, there were still two desks, one for Su Mei and one for Ye Lan.

"I thought you and Su Mei would work separately." Bai glanced around and touched his wrist.

"Spare me, if I had a choice, I definitely wouldn't choose a job that requires me to use my brain." Ye Lan shrugged.

Su Mei, who was standing next to her, smiled.

In other words, Yelan dumped all the mental tasks on Sumei, and the shared office made it easy to communicate.

Should I call Fu Hua?

"Master Taixu came this morning. This time, we'll just talk about your matter."

Ye Lan stretched and plopped down in the swivel chair, letting Li Ziyou spin her around twice.

"First, it's business... well, to make a long story short, Ningguang has taken a liking to you."

"Too short, make it longer."

"Your flag is quite interesting, do you understand spirits?" Si Yelan, like a bored child, spun around in his chair as he spoke, "As a dreamer of becoming a hero, you should have some self-awareness... Tsk, although it sounds a bit ridiculous from my perspective, in just over a month, you went from a homeless alien to a hero who can 'eat at the table'."

Before anyone knew it—and a little over a month is far too short a time to be considered "before anyone knew it"—Liu Bai had already gained the leverage to negotiate with Ning Guang in Pingding.

"Shang Jun is a sheep, right? Do you know Lü Buwei? Ah... never mind, why should I talk about history with an alien like you..."

"know."

"Huh? You know?" Ye Lan paused for a moment, then muttered "Curly Dog." As an alien, this person was so eager to learn that it made her, a local native, feel uncomfortable. "Alright then, it's good that you know. That's the idea. If you can't help someone in need, adding to their good fortune is not bad either—besides, you're not exactly 'good fortune' right now."

Liu Bai's ability to unite people outside of Daoqi is relatively weak; in fact, it can be said that his work is mainly based on transactions.

Moreover, in the eyes of outsiders, Liu Bai and Daozaki did not have a very close relationship—who knows that Daozaki's upper echelons suddenly had a brain fart and decided to support Liu Bai as general.

However, leveraging existing power is still power, and in most people's eyes, the difference between having the ability to leverage existing power and having existing power is not that significant.

It is often those who are best able to leverage external forces who can stir up trouble; relying solely on one's own power... that's called making enemies of the world.

Liu Bai nodded, agreeing with Ye Lan's statement. If Ning Guang were willing to help him now, it would be a timely help, albeit reluctantly.

"What exactly is it? Although the reasons are very tempting, can't you at least give some concrete promises?"

"You should talk to Ningguang."

“That was when we started haggling.” Bai rolled his eyes—but Ye Lan was still spinning her chair and probably didn’t notice.

To discuss something with someone without even knowing the details—is that crazy? At least give a general overview.

“Basically, it’s intelligence support from the Chamber of Commerce and internal preferential prices.” Yelan spread her hands. “As for military support… that’s what you and Ningguang negotiated. Oh, right, let me mention that because of the Chamber of Commerce model, the lower and middle levels of the Chamber of Commerce are not very organized, and the Sage is currently on a parallel path with Liyue.”

"...So you mean you can poach people?"

"That's not what I said."

Ye Lan simply waved her hand.

"However, you'd better be mentally prepared. Ningguang has never lost money in business. If she invests, she'll definitely get something in return—of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be profit."

"Shiyi?"

"Yes, spending money to do favors may seem like a loss, but it's actually a gain. Be careful with your personality. A gentleman can be deceived by his principles, but not by those who do not follow the right path."

Ye Lan then quoted a classical Chinese phrase.

"The literal translation of this is that a virtuous person can be bullied by reasonable means, but will not be deceived by unreasonable trickery... No, forget it, let's forget about it."

This saying is not meant to warn virtuous people, but to tell the world.

These words are useless against Liu Bai.

It was precisely because Liu Bai dared to step up when the time was right that she was somewhat fond of him.
