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

Fox Palace wrapped his arms around Liu Bai's neck from behind—but not with force, more like an intimate gesture.

"Then, great connoisseur Liu Bai, tell me, whose shape is the best among those present?"

Fox Palace smiled and gave Liu Bai a life-or-death question.

"Shape?" Ying still looked like she hadn't quite grasped the concept.

"The shape of your breasts," Fox Palace didn't try to hide it.

The two girls next to her had clearly realized what was happening; could Ying really expect her to react on her own?

Even Fox Palace wasn't sure if Shadow had actually noticed the change in the Divine Child's clothes.

"Huh? Isn't this a bit inappropriate to talk about this now?"

Ayaka Kamisato is still a good girl—after all, she is a rich young lady, and the boldest remarks she usually hears come from the light novels published by Kamiko.

“...Indeed, these are not helpful remarks,” Tōsara chimed in from the side.

"..."

(Ayaka is simply unfamiliar with the situation, and Kage doesn't have that kind of mindset yet... but Sara seems to have a tiny bit of expectation amidst her resistance? Tsk tsk, is that what charm is?)

In fact, it was already quite impressive that Liu Bai was able to build a good relationship with Kujo Sara in such a short time, in Kosai-kyo's opinion.

Kujo Sara's personal flaws are well understood by Kitsui-miya.

Although she is not cold-hearted, she always has a cold face and is particularly rigid in her actions.

As a result, Kujo Sara, who is not difficult to get along with and is the type to be strict with himself and lenient with others, has no friends—although sometimes rigid adherence to rules can be seen as being strict with others.

The real challenge is knowing when to dare to be with Kujo Sara.

Not everyone dares to associate with a cold, aloof woman who always has a cat-like face and holds a high position of power.

In reality, although Kujo Sara and Kamisato Ayaka are standing together now, their relationship is simply that of acquaintances.

If she could avoid it, Ayaka Kamisato would definitely be willing to avoid Sara Kujo.

(Well, if you think about it, you'll realize that Liu Bai is definitely not afraid of Sara.)

Add to that Liu Bai's subtle control over the sense of distance, and these two really are the type who can be friends.

Hmm... Fox Palace really can't praise Liu Bai for his excellent control over distance—after all, his words just now didn't really convey any sense of distance.

However, it's important to understand that not everyone wants to maintain a sense of distance.

Sometimes, being a little "appropriate" and not knowing your limits isn't necessarily annoying.

Not everyone is petty and calculating. Most people, once they get into a conversation, will not care about boundaries unless they talk about sensitive topics.

Therefore, Fox Palace felt that Liu Bai's social skills were surprisingly strong.

No, if you think about it that way, Liu Bai even restrained Sha Luo.

Fox Palace thought for a moment and realized that if Liu Bai wanted to win over Saro, even without this real incident, it probably wouldn't take more than a week.

Liu Bai smashed open the outer shell of the robe in just two moves.

Even Fox Palace couldn't imagine what it would be like if a strong woman like Kujo Sara, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, fell in love.

"Go ahead and say it. Nobody here will bother you."

Fox Palace continued to instigate—she was also the kind of person who had a subtle ability to control distance, but was also good at socializing!

"Hmm...would you tighten it a little more?"

"Hmm~~"

With a smiling expression, Hu Zhaigong tightened his grip on Liu Bai.

"……lecher."

Realizing what Liu Bai meant, Kujo Sara spat out a curse and then added another sentence.

"Colluding with each other in evil deeds."

Yae no Miko is absolutely right.

Neither of them are good people, and together they're even worse.

Kujo Sara didn't want to get involved in the topic anymore and left directly.

"Huh?" Ayaka Kamisato was also taken aback. "Um, Lord Kitsuri-sai-no-miya..."

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's alright... Liu Bai, tell me, which one of us is the wolf and which one is the jackal?" Hu Zhaigong was having a lot of fun.

Liu Bai and I are truly on the same wavelength.

In the past, no one would pay attention to my jokes.

It's not fun when the god grows up.

According to the idiom, the one on top is a wolf, and the one below is a jackal.

"Pah, you lecherous scoundrel."

Fox Saigyu also imitated Kujo Sara, but unlike Kujo Sara who kept a straight face, Fox Saigyu's expression was clearly one of laughter and scolding.

Then, Huzhaigong released Liu Bai.

"Alright, alright, Sara, you haven't gone far and you're back already~ Now let's get down to business~"

Foxmonger shouted something towards the door, and a moment later, Kujo Sara returned.

"Let's begin assigning tasks."

"Ah."

Liu Bai projected the map from the bracelet onto the screen.

"Look, this is a map of the entire Sky Dome District. Recently, due to the Herrscher, small-scale Honkai events have been occurring more and more frequently in the Sky Dome District."

Everyone present nodded.

To be honest, the reason for this situation is probably not just the Herrscher of a Thousand People; Kiana also has to bear some of the blame—or perhaps most of it.

After all, in terms of sheer power, the Second Herrscher is far stronger than the Dominator.

"We don't need to worry about the small-scale collapses in the city; the Undying Blade and the Valkyrie Stormtroopers will handle them."

Everyone nodded in unison again, indicating that they could trust this aspect.

I've only ever heard of Otto's backstab, never Valkyrie's. I can rest assured that this is handled by Valkyrie, both tactically and in terms of responsibility.

So our target is the suburbs?

Kujo Sara had previously fought monsters with Ryuhaku in the suburbs, so she knew a little about Ryuhaku's tactics.

"That's right, the suburbs. The intensity of the collapse in the suburbs is lower than that in the city, but correspondingly, there are also more unstable elements lurking in the suburbs."

"Why not just kill them all?"

Lei's movies seem to have been made without any thought at all.

"At this distance in the suburbs... as long as you control your strength..."

"Shut up, ancestor."

Fox Palace pressed down on Shadow's head.

Would it kill you to use your brain?

If you take your time and make a big move, the world situation will become tense.

"...The uncertainties you need to face are mainly the five Herrschers and the Honkai (beasts and assassins) driven by the Herrschers. The Honkai beasts can all be killed, but the assassins... If possible, I hope to kidnap some high-level assassins—of course, if we encounter a Herrscher, we should capture them alive as well."

Liu Bai spoke up.

The plan for the Death Squad Ranch cannot be delayed.

In the past, when there were fewer people, we could only use single-threaded operation. Now that there are so many people, is it reasonable not to use multi-threaded operation?

"This time, the individual Herrscher isn't very strong, but if we're not confident, we'll leave it at that. Safety first."

"no problem."

Capturing a suicide soldier or a Herrscher is perfectly understandable.

After all, it's no secret that Liu Bai keeps assassins on the nearby island; it's normal scientific research.

—Although Kujo Sara already felt that Ryuhaku's purpose might not be so simple.

"Then came the division of areas..."

Liu Bai circled two plots of land on the map.

“Each of you choose one side. As for the restraint equipment, I will have World Snake provide it.”

Speaking of which, Mebius is also coming to make a house call for Raiden, and Liu Bai still needs to discuss this matter.

No one present had any objections. After Liu Bai reiterated the strategy of avoiding battle with the Undying Blade and the Stormtroopers, the meeting ended.

Then Liu Bai pulled Hu Zhaigong aside for a private chat.

"Hmm... Dr. Möbius?" After listening to Liu Bai's brief explanation, Fox Palace nodded without much thought. "If you are still the attending physician, we have no objection."

Chapter 112 Professionals are still needed.

The requirements of the Fox Abode Palace are simple—though somewhat unpleasant to hear.

After all, that sounds like a lack of trust in Möbius—well, it does.

After all, with the addition of "miracles" like Yi Liu Bai, Lin Wuqi, Lun Hu Zhai, Si Gong, or anyone else, Ling Bu Meng doesn't hope that someone will come along shouting about science and interfere.

It's not contempt for science, but simply pragmatism.

Moreover, how could they not know how slim the chances of curing their general are from a scientific perspective?

Their initial attempt to find Möbius was a last-ditch effort when they had no other options.

Now that Liu Bai is here, they naturally have less enthusiasm for Mebius.

Since Liu Bai has spoken, she has no objections as long as Mebius doesn't overstep his bounds—after all, Liu Bai is the boss now.

"I'm relieved to hear that. I'll go make lunch."

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message to Natasha as he left, asking her to bring Mebius over.

...The reason why Liu Bai didn't go is very simple.

He didn't want to smell any more strange odors.

The jackal's condition was so distressing that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who saw it.

…………

An hour later, Natasha successfully brought Mebius to her home.

Good afternoon, Doctor.

"Good afternoon, little guinea pig. You're really getting more and more important now. I have to come and see you."

Mebius smiled and reached out to pinch Liu Bai's chin.

"Will I have to call Natasha to ask if I want to see you in the future?"

Natasha: "..."

Am I an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire?

"..."

Liu Bai didn't know how to answer. Was Mebius angry?

"Ahem, there's a reason for this, there's a reason for this."

"Heh... Alright, I'll let you off this time. Did Inazuma's people cause you any trouble?"

Liu Bai breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Mebius hadn't really taken it too seriously, and had only mentioned it jokingly.

"There are no problems, and the doctor-patient relationship is harmonious."

"Hmm...that's good." Möbius nodded. "Where is he? In your flask?"

"Correct."
