(I'll tell Mr. Liu Bai about this when he comes back later. For now, it's best if we don't do anything... especially Kiana.)
"Ok."
Kiana sighed.
But it wasn't exactly a disappointment.
At least it didn't increase the number of competitors!
Moreover, according to the pity system, these 20 pulls are not entirely meaningless; they are what is called "padding".
"This witch doll seems a bit creepy. I think Liu Bai would really like it if it were placed here, right?"
Kiana placed the doll she was holding on the back of the sofa.
(…Well, it’s not nice to judge a little doll like that, but this outfit certainly can’t be called proper. Mei retorted.)
It's a very fairytale-like backless witch outfit.
It might be mysterious to children, but it's a bit revealing to adults.
...Although the girl doll in her hand wasn't exactly respectable either.
As for the character design of a festival girl... her outfit is just the right amount of revealing...
Mei carefully chose a prominent spot on the shelf and placed the girl doll she was holding there.
The atmosphere between the two then became somber.
...Unexpectedly, I had nothing to say.
Yeah, I just have nothing to say.
The feeling of adults gradually drifting apart suddenly came to mind.
—Although Kiana felt that the two of them would "collide" sooner or later.
"The seafood soup is here."
Fortunately, Liu Bai returned at this moment, breaking the silence at just the right time.
"Hmm... seafood again."
"What's that expression on your face?"
Liu Bai rolled his eyes at Kiana's funny expression.
"Well... um, when Aunt Cocolia and I were here before, Aunt Cocolia cooked all kinds of seafood for me every day..."
"How's your cooking?"
"...It's alright. Overall, it's like they have solid fundamentals, but absolutely no idea how to cook seafood," Kiana sighed. "I'm going to throw up from eating it..."
"Cocolia is probably also very curious about seafood. The local specialties in her hometown of Belleburg are quite strange. If you have the chance, you can find some things that don't look edible and give them to her to cook. She should be able to do a good job."
"...Absolutely not."
Kiana had no desire to engage in any such imaginings.
Kiana's attention was then drawn to the aroma of the seafood soup.
...Oh no, this taste...
Maybe... I just got sick of eating Cocolia's cooking?
"By the way, did you guys get anything in the draw?"
Liu Bai placed the seafood soup on the table, and the Law Master arranged the bowls and chopsticks.
"Hmm... they're all pretty useless stuff." Kiana was still a little embarrassed when she talked about it.
"It's okay. I often take out a lot of trash too, otherwise I wouldn't need such a big shelf to store it."
If Liu Bai saves up a little more, he can try to forge a second time-stop pocket watch.
...Although I'm not 100% sure I can refine it.
After all, we cleared out everything at once without calculating the corresponding figures—but with more items, good things will always come out.
Mei, standing beside him, hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
"that……"
"Eat first. Thanks to the Herrscher of Domination for helping us cook so quickly. The Herrscher of Domination will bring the rice up in a bit."
Liu Bai didn't give Mei a chance to speak before plopping down on the sofa.
The careless movement shook the plush toy that was placed on the back of the sofa off.
"Ok?"
With an extraordinary reaction, Liu Bai immediately noticed the falling doll.
The landing point should be... my own legs. Did it fall from behind me?
Did this exist before?
Liu Bai didn't have time to think it through. If he didn't care, it would probably fall onto his lap and then roll to the ground.
During the fall, the extra section of lines on the back of the doll became particularly noticeable.
"Hey!"
Liu Bai instinctively reached for the string behind the doll instead of grabbing the whole doll.
then……
Bang-!
"Is this the first meeting you arranged, Mr. Liu Bai? It's even more boring than I imagined."
"...Big sister, who are you?"
Chapter 392 Perhaps it's a genius package
"I am Black Tower," the beautiful woman sitting on Liu Bai said coldly.
"...?"
Black Tower?
Where did you blacken the tower?
The only color scheme left is the black tower!
...Well, though if you look closely, they really do look alike.
But give me back my Fiji... cough cough, loli!
Hmm... but with the Black Tower itself here, it seems like it's possible to do it?
"Give me money."
"...?"
"Whatever you're thinking, pay up first." Hei Ta stared at Liu Bai and said coldly, "Pay up, then don't bother me. I'll let you know when the product is finished."
"..."
So direct... Is this how the company and Black Tower interact...?
However, that's not the case; the company has absolutely no right to make demands.
However, no matter what, dealing with Liu Bai is really difficult.
There's a Ruan Mei in front, and a Black Tower behind...
"Um, Black Tower, have I offended you in any way?"
"No, but the thought of having to work for you makes me very unhappy."
Hei Ta crossed his legs—on Liu Bai.
"..."
Ah, so that means the otaku was forcibly dragged out of the house to do chores, which is why he resentful?
"...I think that's about it?" After saying that, Black Tower hesitated for a moment.
"But don't worry... as long as you don't bother me, I think we can still work together well."
Hei Ta glanced at Liu Bai again.
"Hmm... how should I put it... you're quite interesting."
"...You're not going to study me too, are you? Just because of my face?" Bai seemed to have gotten used to being the subject of scientists' curiosity.
"A harmless part, overall... never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway."
Such classic, illogical lines.
"As long as you don't use your brain to criticize my research, we can maintain a normal collaborative relationship."
"...Do I look like the kind of person who would criticize or point fingers at others?" Where did this impression come from?
Liu Bai only stops dangerous experiments like those conducted by Ruan Mei.
"Hard to say."
"...Speaking of which, wasn't our relationship also a transaction?"
"Yes, I'll help you. After it's done, you'll fully sponsor my research... Sigh, this kind of thing should only be Estád's responsibility."
Sorry, your little calf is already my secretary.
"Then can you get off me?" Bai looked at the black tower, who was completely using him as a chair.
Although he wasn't particularly resistant, he knew that if things continued this way, Black Tower might turn against him on this matter, and he would be in the wrong again.
"Humph."
Black Tower gave a soft snort and jumped off Liu Bai.
"Arrange a room for me, and find me some books about this world... I'll give you a list of labs to build according to my plan. Finally, don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Then I'll just let Estella take charge."
"Estella is here too?" Black Tower's face showed a hint of surprise.
"You've been here for over a month, didn't you know?"
"Oh, no wonder I haven't been able to get in touch with her these days." Heita revealed an expression of realization. "I thought she was away on a business trip."
This person doesn't seem to care much about the space station... but they do contact Estella, so it seems they do care about her—though their concern could be a little deeper.
"Let me show you the room, come with me."
…………
"...What was that woman's attitude?"
After Liu Bai and Heita left, Kiana rested her chin on her hand and complained.
"He seems to be a very knowledgeable person..." Mei actually wanted to complain a little.
But Liu Bai didn't say anything, so they didn't say much either.
“And…” Mei picked up the festival girl doll next to her.
Indeed, a doll really does represent a person.
Well, I'll send this doll to Liu Bai later.
…………
"This is the room."
Black Tower pointed to the quietest-looking room and began to speak.
“…This is my room.” Bai said helplessly.
"What about the other side?"
"You can use my room."
The room opposite is the Yellow Springs.
