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

"What are you thinking? Dr. Möbius was definitely the first investor, right, little snake?"

"...Who are you talking to?"

Theresa looked completely baffled by the second half of Liu Bai's sentence.

But the next moment, a "hmm hmm" sound came from under the table, as well as the sound of water dripping onto the floor.

"...?"

What is this person doing...?

Theresa's mind went blank for only a moment before she immediately thought of Karen.

—After spending the night with Liu Bai, Karen's morals were clearly halved again.

Could it be that something is under the table now...? Theresa's face and earlobes instantly turned red.

Immoral! Absolutely immoral!

Theresa really wanted to shout that out loud.

But Ji Zhi told her that some things, though understood, should not be spoken of.

"Anyway! You've received the document, right? I'm not going to worry about the rest!"

Theresa's eyes unconsciously drifted towards the table.

Could it be that the arrogant Möbius is currently hiding under the table like a mother...

Ahem——!

That's outrageous!

I know you have a messy private life, but this messiness is shameless!

And why are the people next to me still working so calmly?

Theresa, who was sulking, was clearly a little out of touch with the world.

"Well, you should go back first... I didn't expect you to come."

Liu Bai nodded. Theresa was indeed a rare person who had almost no connection with Liu Bai.

Even the favorability rating is only in the double digits.

Like other people, well... like the Blue Sparrow who's short-circuited next to us.

While her relationship with Liu Bai was completely innocent, it was possible that Liu Bai was actually doing something with someone else nearby...

Well, Qingque won't pay any attention to her.

At most, I'll put on some earphones and start playing on my phone.

However, Liu Bai didn't actually make much of a splash this time.

Moreover, this is not a very common thing... at least not very common at present.

"Speaking of which, little snake, what brings you here all of a sudden?"

Möbius's personality is somewhat workaholic, so it's unlikely he would skip work under normal circumstances.

"It's clearly a big snake..."

Mebius acted coquettishly like a young girl.

However, Mebius did not ignore Liu Bai's problem because of his coquettishness.

"I was able to leave work early today... because of that..."

Mebius slurped, his voice a little muffled.

"Hei Ta and Ruan Mei said I could leave work early, and since I didn't have anything else to do, I left work first."

"...Are you alone?"

Liu Bai's killer instincts suddenly kicked in.

Something seems off about this.

"Or……"

"The entire lab, including the people from Anti-Entropy, has been given a break."

"So what's left inside now...?"

His killer instincts are getting stronger and stronger.

"Of course, that leaves Ruan Mei and Hei Ta... I guess? But those two probably won't..."

Chapter 487 Something Abnormal Must Be Suspected

"They are both adults, and even if they cause any trouble, they should know their limits."

Mebius clearly didn't want to end the current little event prematurely.

Not only were the words trying to persuade them to stay, but their hands were also trying to hold them back.

...And Liu Bai really had no way to ignore Mebius's attempts to persuade him to stay.

Fate was strangled...

"But I think that if you know how to do things properly, then it's not considered troublesome."

Liu Bai pointed out the flaws in Mebius's words.

However, Mebius remained silent, only slurping.

She genuinely felt that although the two didn't get along, they were still partners in a project, so it was unlikely that they would cause any serious trouble.

[Ruan Mei's Favorability: 153→180 (Love Elixir)]

[Black Tower's Affection Level: 41→82 (Love Elixir)]

Estelle's Affection Level: 112 → 147 (Love Elixir)

The system's three favorability alerts made Liu Bai's expression, which was about to be persuaded to stay, freeze.

"Mebius, do you think those people were being discreet when they were playing with Love Potion?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Mebius relented and silently wiped his mouth.

Those people are playing Love Potion?

...In other circumstances, it might not be a big deal.

But now is her happy time.

So... it's war preparedness! Level one war preparedness! The fact that Liu Bai could ask this question means he must know that these people have already drunk the Love Elixir.

So what happens next? Need I say more?

Some bastard will definitely come and ruin her good time!

If that's the case, then it's indeed better to strike first.

Think about it, it's because of two shameless bastards interfering in your relationship, shamelessly taking off their clothes and lying down, causing you to lose your home turf.

Is it better to stand on moral high ground and condemn these people before they even send a message, and then shove their heads into the pool?

Even a fool would choose the latter!

"Let's go! Take care of them!"

Möbius emerged from under the table, wiped his chest with a tissue, then dressed, his face radiating righteous indignation.

"I reckon we'll need another person..."

Liu Bai glanced at the person next to him.

Qingque is crashing.

Topa seemed a little distracted.

Jade was intently looking at the document, which she had been studying for quite some time.

...I'm actually quite free today.

"Jade, why don't you come with me?"

"Eh?"

Topa exclaimed in shock.

Does she seem to be too busy?

She's clearly closer to Liu Bai!

Could it be... no, does the BOSS really prefer mature women?

"me?"

Jade was also slightly surprised.

"Hmm... I feel like things might get a bit serious, and we need someone to keep things under control."

Liu Bai nodded. Although face, chest, waist, hips, and legs were indeed reasons for popularity, Liu Bai was genuinely thinking about it this time.

Think about it, of the three—Black Tower, Ruan Mei, and Estád—Estád is the easiest to deal with.

As the most active group of geniuses in the genius club, can Mebius keep up with Heita and Ruan Mei when they go crazy?

impossible.

Despite her seemingly powerful and mature demeanor, Orochi is only fit to face off against Estádio.

—That being said, Mebius hasn't actually become a Fusion Warrior yet. Liu Bai calls her Little Snake because of her identity as the "Snake Lord".

So Mebius readily accepted the title.

"...Then, I'll do my best?"

Jade had some ideas that were somewhat related to Liu Bai's personal life, but she was quite particular about separating public and private matters and never brought up such things during work hours.

She ignored Liu Bai's frivolous behavior during work hours.

Private time... well, Liu Bai's private time is mostly occupied.

"Could reasonable force be used when necessary?"

Jade inquired and learned that there are ways to communicate with civilized people and ways to communicate with barbarians.

Unless it's some unspeakable plot, generally no one wants to communicate with someone they can't communicate with—in those plots, this is the opening scene of a defeated CG.

"Instead, it's more accurate to say that justifiable violence is a necessary element."

Liu Bai nodded. Judging from the increase in favorability, the effect wasn't strong, but it was still a buff from the elixir of love.

The fact that he could come up with this idea without any prompting from the jadeite owner shows that it is indeed reliable.

"Gu..."

Toppa was there, role-playing as a pufferfish.

……

"I think it's really necessary to ban things like love potions."

Mebius spoke up on the road.

"It feels like love potions are becoming too common now."

"...That's certainly true."

Liu Bai nodded in agreement, "But the elixir of love does have its merits, doesn't it..."

"A painful yet pleasurable embrace for you?"

Mebius glanced at Liu Bai.

...They start being stubborn as soon as they're no longer down there.

Liu Bai was speechless and could only curse Mebius in his heart.
