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

But it doesn't matter, Liu Bai is practically a future general—the large group of people in Inazuma are just shocked, not opposed, especially since it was Raiden Shin who led the charge.

"Tsk, did I ask for too little?" Ye Lan raised an eyebrow as she watched Liu Bai's clean and efficient transfer.

When did Liubai's economy become so good?

Rita? Or Inazuma?

"You really are a born pretty boy."

"Don't make such a remark for no reason."

Liu Bai's face darkened.

Peruvéli, who was behind her, nodded in agreement.

"After I finish reading these three books, I can beat you to a pulp, you believe me?"

"Hmm~ I'll have to look forward to it then." Ye Lan said nonchalantly, "But speaking of these three books... there's also news about the second volume in the same series."

Ye Lan simply understands junior high and senior high school as three volumes: upper, middle, and lower.

"Where?" Bai's expression of surprise returned.

"The Wisdom Palace of the Order of the Fathers—I bet that's not the answer you're looking for." Ye Lan propped her head up. "After all, the Order of the Fathers isn't a place you can just buy your way out of."

Yes, so to obtain advanced training books through the normal process, you need to increase your favorability with the faction.

"There's a book in Mondstadt's forbidden library that's about physical training. We in Liyue have strength training, but I don't know where we find agility training."

"...Somewhat unexpected."

"What a load of nonsense. No matter what, Liyue has a rich history, it's just that we don't make a living from it. Besides, all sorts of goods come and go in Liyue Harbor every day... well, although nobody remembers when we got this thing."

Ye Lan glanced at the training book in Liu Bai's hand.

Ye Lan must have researched something that would concern Liu Bai.

But... as expected, nothing was gained.

No, it's not entirely fair to say that we gained nothing at all.

At least Yelan could see something fishy going on.

The beginner level is just a thin magazine, the intermediate level is as thick as a dictionary, and the advanced level... Ye Lan had someone take a picture of that thing, um, a huge dictionary.

It's the kind of thing that would be like a curse to a child who doesn't like to read.

As for the details... from a professional point of view, there's really nothing of substance to it; it's mostly repetitive talk, yet strangely rare.

Can you believe that Ye Lan, after exhausting all her connections and including the three copies from the Academy, only found five copies of this thing still in existence?

Hmm... While it fits the current state of trash books, isn't it a bit much to put it in the Wisdom Palace of the Order of the Church?

Could there really be profound wisdom within it?

It even gave Yelan the illusion that this thing was prepared for a specific person.

Well... as long as Liu Bai is usable, that's fine. Ye Lan doesn't plan to delve too deeply into Liu Bai's case.

"Your Liyue training manual..."

"Stop, I can't make that decision. The most important thing in business is supply and demand. Ningguang has it, and you still need it, understand?"

"..."

Liu Bai suddenly felt a headache.

In other words, before the negotiations even started, Ningguang had already seized a vital point against him?

Well, it's not entirely a fatal flaw. After all, what Liu Bai needs most for the "Yellow Springs Side Quest" is a physical training book, and secondly, he can spend time walking the Sumeru path.

However, the feeling of falling behind first is not so pleasant.

Chapter 210 Harmonious and Happy Taixu Mountain

"These three books are enough for you to read now," Ye Lan rolled her eyes at Liu Bai.

"That's true." Bai glanced at the three dictionaries-thick books in his arms, and his head throbbed even more.

Although he didn't dislike reading, these three dictionaries...

"Alright, sit tight, we're about to take off."

Liu Bai nodded, sat down with Peruvier, and immediately began reading.

…………

Liyue's airships are significantly slower than Schicksal's transport ships.

However, compared to the transport ships of Destiny, the treatment here is better, more...commercial?

Therefore, the entire journey was much slower, and the airship finally arrived at Mount Taixu at dusk and landed on the training ground.

With a smooth landing, Liu Bai tossed the dictionary back into the pot and rubbed his dry eyes.

First physical, then agility, and finally strength—this is Liu Bai's current reading order.

"It feels like Mount Taixu is not quite the same as before."

Looking out the window at the scenery of Mount Taixu, Fu Hua revealed an expression of trepidation at the prospect of returning home.

"What was Taixu Mountain like before?" Bai asked curiously.

"...about the same as now?"

"..."

Then what are you talking about? Hammer!

Liu Bai was speechless, and Fu Hua also showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"No, that's not what I meant... I meant, it seems like there are more people on Mount Taixu than before..."

"Master is talking about popularity, right? After all, Master has been gone for almost twenty years, and Mount Taixu has changed a lot."

Su Mei chuckled, her words carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"For example, now we have built a Taoist temple on the mountainside of Taixu Mountain. Using the name of the abode of immortals, we have opened a scenic area to collect incense and entrance fees, so that we won't starve to death."

"..."

Fu Hua looked embarrassed, and her hand, unsure of what to do, started touching her nose.

"And now our Taixu Mountain also has electricity and internet access," Su Mei continued, smiling.

Fu Hua remained embarrassed.

"Of course, everyone's gaming skills are still not as good as yours, Master."

"Didn't you have any source of income before?" Bai asked, somewhat surprised.

"It was basically farming and weaving, and in the past there were also tributes from ancient rulers, but these methods are obviously not suitable for modern society."

Living like this in modern society would lead to starvation.

"Alright, let's go down. It's a good opportunity for us to show our hospitality."

Su Mei smiled at Liu Bai.

Making fun of his own master was just a side effect.

As the group disembarked from the airship, a quaint Taoist temple came into view.

Just by looking at the blue bricks of the training ground, you can tell that people still sweep and clean this place regularly.

"Oh, Second Senior Sister, you're back."

A burly man with a thick beard and a scar walked into the training ground.

"And Master is back too... Hmm? And who are these people?"

“This is my sixth son, Ma Yanqing.” Su Mei pointed to the big man in front of her and introduced him to everyone, “Little Ma, this is Ms. Ye Lan, this is Mr. Liu Bai, and this is Miss Peruvian.”

"Nice to meet you!"

Ma Yanqing, with a fierce and ruthless demeanor, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the crowd.

"Speaking of which, Little Horse, why did you come back to the mountains? Aren't you out there fooling around anymore?"

"Hi... well, you said Master was coming back, so Senior Sister called me back."

Ma Yanqing was somewhat shy—although it was quite incongruous with his ruthless bandit-like appearance.

"...?"

Fu Hua, with an incredulous expression, pointed at Ma Ba Yanqing, then looked at Su Mei beside him with a puzzled expression.

dream

Su Mei, who do you think this girl is?

"Little Ma, Master, you can't even recognize your own disciple?"

Su Mei smiled.

Fu Hua silently reached out and measured her waist, then glanced at Ma Yanqing.

How did that porcelain doll who only reached my waist back then become a ruthless bandit?

“I knew @Master$ would react like this.” Ma Jiuyanqing said in a habitual manner.

"...I'm sorry, but no matter what, the difference is too big."

Fu Hua must have looked like she couldn't accept it.

Fu Hua glanced at Su Mei sideways. Although I, as her master, have not fulfilled my responsibilities, isn't it because you senior sisters didn't teach Ma Yanqing properly that she turned out this way?

Su Mei ignored Fu Hua's gaze: "Little Ma, since you're here, where are your other senior sisters?"

"Um, the scenic area is still open. Third Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Sister, and Eighth Junior Sister who was sent back earlier are still in the scenic area. Eldest Senior Sister, Junior Sister, and Xiao Su Chang are cooking."

"Where's the fifth brother?"

"How dare I interfere in Fifth Senior Sister's affairs?" Ma Yanqing spread his hands towards Su Mei.

The most unreasonable person in his own sect is his fifth senior sister, who is also the most capable fighter, with a profound cultivation level that is no less than their master's.

"Ling Shuang is really something."

Su Mei sighed, "In that case, please follow me."

Su Mei led everyone into the courtyard.

"Is there no smoke from cooking?" Ye Lan glanced at what appeared to be a woodshed.

"Don't you use a range hood when you cook?" Ma Yanqing's question left Ye Lan speechless.

"Let's change our mindset." Bai glanced around. "My intuition tells me that the only thing that's old here is the outer shell."

"Big brother has good taste!" Ma Yanqing patted Liu Bai on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"..."

You're just a middle-aged thug, why are you calling me "Big Brother"?

Ma Yanqing didn't take it seriously. Someone who could hang out with her second senior sister, what kind of good... cough, simple character could that be?

From the time she grew up, Ma Yanqing knew that although her second senior sister was the kindest in the family, she was also the most ruthless.

Flattering someone like that won't hurt you.

Moreover, this person seems to have a good relationship with his master.

Yes, he could tell at a glance that Liu Bai had a subtle air of authority about him!

"..." Fu Hua's feelings were even more complicated.

Although the overall environment hasn't changed much, this place has indeed become somewhat unrecognizable to her.

Fortunately, the guest rooms remained the same as before—only the oil lamps were replaced with electric lamps.

"Seriously, is Taixu Mountain developing this slowly? Even if we go back twenty years, it should have electricity by now, right?"

"Ye Lan, what do you think about the cave dwellings of the other True Lords?"

"..."
