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

"Good morning, Walnut." A slightly magnetic male voice reached Walnut's ears.

"—Eh?!"

Hu Tao immediately became alert.

"Liu, Liu Bai, what are you doing here?"

"...You were definitely still half asleep."

Liu Bai nodded as he looked at the marks left on Hu Tao's face from sleeping.

walnut:"……"

These words made Hu Tao think.

Um... Oh, right, I seem to have a vague impression of Liu Bai.

At that moment, a woman whom Hu Tao didn't recognize walked over carrying a stack of documents.

Walnut's first impression was that this person's legs were chubby...

—Due to model reuse, although the character illustrations in the game feature fleshy legs, the game modeling completely fails to capture that appeal.

Then Hu Tao's second impression was—why does this person look like he's not wearing pants?

My third thought was that I didn't seem to have the right to criticize the other person.

"Boss, the resource report for the entire ceremony has been printed out. Please take a look."

An unfamiliar woman handed the documents in her hand to Liu Bai.

"Thanks, Toppa, take a rest."

"Huh? You're already taking a break?"

"..."

Liu Bai felt that communicating with the character Juan Gou was quite difficult.

As Hu Tao gradually regained her senses, she began to process what the woman had said.

The entire ceremony's...resource report?

"In what aspect!?"

“Comprehensive,” Toppa replied. “Manpower, funding, props… I’ve calculated everything. Although it was mental calculation, the numbers aren’t large. If the reference data provided by Mr. Zhongli is correct, then there shouldn’t be any errors.”

"Liu Bai! Is this person a fleshy-legged angel?!" Hu Tao cried with excitement.

Who knows how many days she hasn't slept in preparation for this ceremony?

Unfortunately, only their ancestral hall could perform this ceremony, but it had been quite a long time since they had done one on such a large scale. Although Zhongli was knowledgeable, she sometimes lacked common sense, so the specific calculations disgusted Hu Tao.

Meanwhile, Qunyu Pavilion was also working non-stop, allocating resources every day, and simply couldn't spare an accountant or actuary to handle such "minor calculations".

"Meat, meat legs?"

Topa instinctively took two steps back and glanced at his legs.

This was the first time she had heard such a comment.

Is this...is this an insult?

"Indeed chubby... cough cough, this is Toppa, my actuary, not some chubby-legged angel."

Topa's thighs still have that kind of muscular build.

—I really want to pinch it hard.

“BOSS, you just now…” Toppa wasn’t deaf, so he naturally heard the first half of Liu Bai’s sentence.

"Just a joke, nothing more. Walnut, apologize to Toppa."

"I'm sorry, Miss Topa... (referring to a type of meat dish)."

Meat top?

Toppa adjusted his mindset.

A mere title cannot shake her identity as a Yellow Jade.

—I'm definitely going to slim down my legs during my next vacation!

"Hu Tao, take a look. If there are no problems, then we'll use this one." Bai handed the report to Hu Tao.

"Um... let me see..."

Hu Tao pulled out a pair of glasses from somewhere, put them on with an air of importance, and began to review the entire document.

"Well……"

Despite the jokes before, Hu Tao was very serious when reviewing the documents.

Life and death are matters of great importance and cannot be taken lightly.

Hu Tao watched for half an hour, Liu Bai waited for half an hour, and Toppa sat next to her, touching his thighs and spending half an hour devising a leg-slimming plan.

"No problem! Miss Topa's report is fantastic! By the way, what time is it now? Liu Bai, would you like to stay and have some lunch?"

At this time, even the unconventional Master Hu would do things that conform to human nature and social norms.

"No need, I have other things to do. See you at the ceremony in a couple of days—remember to take care of yourself."

"Don't worry~ Oh, by the way, how long did I sleep again?"

…………

"...Why do business trips always mean working overtime?" Inside the Liyue Library, Qingque was miserably organizing documents under the watchful eye of Fei Cui.

"Didn't your former boss care about you?" Emerald stretched the leather whip in her hand, looking at Blue Sparrow with some curiosity.

With her years of experience in pawnbroking, she could tell at a glance that this young girl was a rare gem, but the girl had absolutely no desire to work.

This is a complete waste of talent.

Out of capitalist professionalism, Jade grabbed the Blue Sparrow directly.

Upon inquiry, it turned out that he was a diviner in the Bureau of Divination. Although he was at the lowest level in the Bureau of Divination, it didn't prevent him from being a skilled worker.

We probably won't need the divination from the Immortal Boat here, so why don't you come over and organize the information in the library?

Anyway, the same applies to both administrative and civilian positions.

"...Boss, aren't you going to do any work?"

“Am I not working right now?” Emerald smiled and flicked her whip.

Putting everything else aside, the fact that this person is the lowest-ranking diviner in the Taibu Si (a local divination institution) gives her an idea of ​​how much he slacks off.

"And you haven't answered my question yet. Didn't your former boss... that Fu Xuan Taibu, take care of you?"

Jade doesn't think the other person is blind to talent.

"The old lady Taibu..."

Qingque had a strange expression.

She really wanted to say that she was so skilled at slacking off that even the diviner couldn't catch her.

But... Jade's attitude made her a little suspicious of this, and then she thought back to the times when she was just about to slack off when she would "coincidentally" be given new tasks...

(Oh no! Have I been used as a free slave by that old fortune teller for a long time?!)

Qingque felt her dignity as the king of slacking off was crumbling.

Having no ambition and being used as a free beast of burden are two different things.

Qingque did not answer, but Emerald could already guess what was going on from Qingque's expression.

(...That fortune teller was quite wicked too~)

A slight smile appeared on Jade's face.

However, from a certain perspective, this can be considered a win-win situation?

Those who lack ambition achieved their goal of not making progress, while Taibu also received a decent answer within the deadline.

If we do it this way, either Qingque will be a happy, free slave for the rest of her life.

Or one day, the bluebird will soar straight into the sky.

It all depends on Fu Xuan's attitude towards Qing Que.

"Alright, get back to work." Emerald stretched her whip again. "After you finish organizing the documents here, I'll give you a day off."

"Really?"

Qingque's eyes lit up.

If that's the case, then work half a day and rest one day...

Wait a minute! Isn't it perfectly normal to take a break after finishing work?

Slacking off during work hours is what it means to slack off!

"..."

Okay, doctor, look at the whip that's pulling the jade up. The blue gull feels that it's better to be serious about its work than to be a little more spiritual.

Thinking about it carefully, the sooner you finish your work, the sooner you can rest. Isn't that also a form of slacking off?

So... the harder you work, the more you slack off?

...Isn't something wrong here?

The "King of Slacking Off," a civil servant receiving a fixed salary, has fallen into the slacking-off paradox.

However, Qingque's hands did not stop. She quickly flipped through various documents from Liyue and sorted out the valuable parts.

"By the way, Ms. Emerald, do you play cards?" It was the first time Qingque had been supervised while working, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she couldn't help but strike up a conversation with Emerald.

"Playing cards? What kind of cards?"

Have you ever heard of the Imperial Jade?

"Oh... that card game that was lost and then revived in Liyue..."

Jade suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Blue Sparrow strangely.

"You compiled this?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Qingling Queyi waved her hands repeatedly, "I just like to play, and there are a lot of people on the Immortal Boat who like to play too."

Emerald Smile.

Believe it or not.

Which diviner from the Grand Diviner's Office could recreate a game that had been lost for thousands of years?

Perhaps only Qingque.

"Never mind, but I really have no interest in the Imperial Jade, and I don't know how to play it... Hmm, aren't there a few Immortal Ship people here?"

"..."

The people from Xianzhou here.

Qingque shivered silently.

Gui Naifen is alright. Although she is from outside the region, Qingque doesn't have the bad habit of discriminating against people from outside the region. Moreover, the two of them are old acquaintances on the Immortal Ship, so it's not a problem to invite them over to play cards.

But... what about Xueyi...?

That's the judge!

Although the various organizations are not subordinate to each other, they are still afraid! Influenced by various stories and the occasional actions of the Judge, which Immortal Ship person doesn't shudder at the mention of the Ten Kings Division? Especially since Xueyi always has a cold face, which perfectly fits the stereotype of the Judge among the Immortal Ship people.

Did she invite Xueyi to play cards?

...This sounds like an old man hanging himself.

"Ahem, doesn't this mean they're also one player short for the game..."

"Do you really want to gamble with me?" Emerald looked at Azure Sparrow with a smile, as if she were looking at a big fat sheep.

"...Actually, you don't have to gamble with money; it's mainly for entertainment."

Qingque said weakly, and at the same time realized that playing this game with the company's senior management was indeed a bit thoughtless.
