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

Liu Bai thought for a moment and felt that rather than letting Shi Bao keep using her genius little brain, it would be better to take control of the situation herself. So she pointed to the bench next to her and sat down with Shi Bao.

"Shall we go through the proper procedures and have an interview first?"

"An interview? Yes, yes, let's have an interview first!"

Upon hearing about the interview, Shi Bao's tone immediately became bolder—if he could pass the interview, wouldn't that prove he wasn't cheating?

"Ask away! If you pass the interview, you'll hire me?"

"Yes, but the specific position will depend on the interview results."

"no problem!"

Such a reasonable explanation left Shi Bao with absolutely no reason to refute it—not to mention that Shi Bao himself didn't know what he was going to do.

Instead of agonizing over the choices, it's better to assign based on the interview results.

Sometimes, all that's needed to convince someone to be knowledgeable is a reasonable, or at least seemingly reasonable, reason.

"Ahem! So let's start with the first question, Ms. Fu Shi, are you familiar with office software such as Excel and Word?"

"...What?" Shi Bao's face showed a confused expression as expected. "E...E what?"

"So that means it can't be, right?" Bai nodded, completely unsurprised.

Today he's going to perform a trick to cleverly acquire treasures.

"Have you studied programming? C, C++, Python, Java, etc. Knowing one is enough. I don't look down on programming."

"Um...what?"

Shi Bao's face revealed a pure expression untouched by worldly corruption—in short, an idiotic expression.

"Hmm... you don't even know this?" Bai rubbed his temples, looking somewhat troubled.

"Don't, don't keep bringing up these difficult questions..."

Shibao seemed somewhat unsure of itself.

She started out full of confidence, but after two questions, she felt frustrated.

"Hmm... Well then, Ms. Fu, why don't you just introduce yourself and tell us about your special skills?"

“No problem, no problem. Speaking of special skills, of course I am—” Shi Bao suddenly paused.

Considering the previous issues... I feel ashamed to say the words "omnipotent".

"...You're good at fighting? Liu Bai! I'm pretty good at fighting, right? The first time we met, I practically flew down from the sky!"

"Can you fight someone from the Yellow Springs?"

"..."

That's putting people in a really difficult position.

Seeing the scene of Chi You in the Yellow Springs, Shi Bao couldn't say such a thing, no matter how thick-skinned she was—not to mention that she was actually quite thin-skinned.

"I think... I'm at least as good as Ying, right?" Shi Bao argued stubbornly, while choosing Ying, who was somewhat similar to himself, for comparison.

"Ying is quite good at math and physics, is a plastic guy, obedient and well-behaved, and has big breasts."

Did you say something strange at the end?

"Ah, you can just ignore it." Bai coughed twice.

Although Ying looks a bit silly and cute all day, she's actually a top student, with high individual and effort values.

If it weren't for her family environment that didn't demand much of her, and her brute force replacing reason, this person would probably be a role model for...

Yes, that's what makes Shadow so awful. She can handle most complex situations with a single strike, and if force can't solve the problem, there are other people who can use their brains for her.

"I can't even beat a shadow?" Shi Bao began to doubt his life. "Then, then..."

Who should I compete with next?

Shi Bao suddenly discovered something rather ridiculous.

It seems like... everyone has a special talent.

Don't I have any special skills?

"...Is it okay if my nose hairs are extra long?"

"Where did you hear that outdated joke?" Bai rolled her eyes, then said, "You should know that even Huang Quan is a good cook."

Cook?

Wait, cooking?

"Um! I'm actually a pretty good cook!"

Shi Bao inherited Fu Hua's culinary knowledge—as long as Shi Bao doesn't have the habit of adding things randomly, he can indeed be called a master chef.

"And I... I'm actually quite obedient!"

"So, Ms. Fu, do you consider your strengths to be obedience and excellent cooking skills?"

"And they're hardworking and dedicated!" Shi Bao felt like he had figured out a bit of the routine.

Technical advantages need to be discussed with caution, but moral advantages need not be mentioned.

Especially the advantages, which are rather vague to begin with.

All you need to do is be a little thick-skinned.

"Oh, I see. And there's also the one who works hard without complaint..."

(Don't laugh... Absolutely don't laugh...)

Liu Bai was trying very hard to control his facial muscles.

"In that case...considering your answer..."

Liu Bai made a thoughtful expression, and Shi Bao immediately looked at Liu Bai with anticipation.

"...How about the maid?"

"What--?"

Shi Bao's expression immediately fell.

"Me, be your maid?"

Shi Bao had a look on his face that said, "Are you kidding me?"

"But I am—"

"Then go for an interview somewhere else."

"..." Shi Bao remained silent.

"However... well, thinking about it carefully, Shi Bao, you don't seem to be very suitable for wearing cute maid outfits."

Liu Bai muttered to himself.

"Who are you calling inappropriate!" Shi Bao immediately became annoyed. "It's just a maid! Rita is a maid now, isn't she?"

"Hmm...yes, without a doubt, a maid."

Let's not talk about Rita's main job being a secretary—Rita's skills clearly exceed the scope of a normal maid.

"Well... it's not impossible."

Shi Bao began to think seriously.

Although she also felt that Rita was a bit of a noob, she was still relatively objective—Rita may be noob, but she was still someone in their circle.

In other words, they are top-tier combatants, but they are just top-tier floor tiles.

Rita's family are all "dream maids," so she's also one of the eight maids... +... This sounds like she's not as shameful as Lin Yousi.

And the combination they mentioned... seems to be only capable of being a maid or a cook.

—Shi Bao was completely unaware that he had been misled.

However, Shi Bao still cautiously asked, "There's no way Rita could be controlling me, is there?"

"Of course, the two of you will not be in charge of each other—there are some things that require cooperation."

"Don't worry, I certainly won't refuse any necessary cooperation."

Shi Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

"So now I'm... officially employed?"

"Yes, welcome to the great Ms. Fu Shi—by the way, you need to bring your own maid outfit when you start working."

"Eh?"

Shi Bao, who had just smiled because of Liu Bai's flattery, was clearly stunned.

"You want me to buy a maid outfit myself? What a heartless company!"

"Hmm...that's true. How about I pay this time, and we go shopping for clothes together?"

"That's more like it! Liu Bai, I think you have the potential to be a good boss!"

[Fu Shi's Favorability: 5860]

Poor Shi Bao was ruthlessly manipulated by Liu Bai.

…………

"I am back."

"You're back early today, and you even bought... uh?"

Just as Rita was about to get something for Liu Bailing, she suddenly froze, looking at Liu (behind Bai Jiu) in a casual swimsuit, licking an ice cream cone.

I

(…Why is this child dressed like this?) Rita asked Liu Bai with her eyes.

(You know... Liyue is a harbor... I took her out to buy clothes today, and she picked this out.)

Liu Bai said that Shi Bao still has a love for beauty and can't resist pretty clothes—it's just that this swimsuit is a bit strange.

So why is Liyue still selling swimsuits even though it's almost winter?

What are you two doing blocking the doorway?

While licking his ice cream, Shi Bao asked, "Isn't it common sense to eat ice cream in winter?"

"Um...ah, I'm a little surprised."

Rita took the things from Liu Bai's hands and glanced down at them.

It's clothing.

And it seems to be a maid outfit?

...After giving away lingerie last time, are we going to give away maid outfits today?

Rita was a little shy.

But then, Liu Bai pinched Rita's forearm.

(For Xiaoshi)

"...?"

For a moment, Rita felt that she might have misunderstood Liu Bai's eye contact.

...Although the idea that eye contact can facilitate communication is inherently unscientific.

(I tricked Shi Bao into becoming my maid.)

Ah, it turns out the problem was with eye contact.

I can't believe I came up with such a ridiculous analysis.

...Those who understand the laws become maids?

Stop joking, Liu Bai, do you really think it's Shi Bao serving you, or you serving Shi Bao?

Rita glanced again at Shi Bao, who was following behind Liu Bai and licking ice cream like a child until his tongue turned green. At this moment, Rita's urge to make sarcastic remarks was very strong.

The ice cream, now soft and bouncy from being licked, resembled a green tongue. Shi Bao licked it while shaking it, thoroughly enjoying himself.
