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

Sword and shield.

Mirror Flow and Talisman Mystery.

Jingliu goes without saying; Liu Bai knows him inside and out, which is better than gambling on the combat power of a new character.

As for Fu Xuan...

Liu Bai had been pondering a question: how to minimize the potential damage to the Valkyrie.

Although the Valkyrie has a hypnotic ability to protect Liu Bai, Liu Bai is not Huanlong after all. He can't do a thousand things at once, and he'd be lucky to do four or five at once.

The Valkyrie, and even the top and near-top players in the family, all need Liu Bai's care.

This is more than just the pressure of the battlefield; Liu Bai felt immense pressure just thinking about it.

Especially considering that the Valkyries are all at least familiar with Liu Bai.

Okay, Liu Bai has to admit that he's good at loving his soldiers like his own children, but he's not good at using them like mud.

Or rather, in his view, it wasn't yet time to fully embrace ruthless rationality.

...In a sense, this can be considered a kind of "rationality".

Based on this rational approach, Liu Bai concluded that it was a formation.

I don't expect Fu Xuan to replicate the ability to protect people in the game here; I just hope he can provide a small protective array.

Every little bit of improvement is welcome.

It would be even better if we could actually build a large-scale protective array.

Liu Bai's expectation of the Valkyrie was merely to stall for any messy things that might appear.

"Mr. Liu Bai, I've arrived."

Mei carefully pushed the door open from the outside and came in.

"Ahem, me too, this young lady is here as well!"

Kiana seemed a bit more lively than Mei.

However, it's understandable, considering he accidentally pinched Mei's foot last time.

Although it wasn't a big deal, it was bound to be a little embarrassing.

"Could you two please help me draw a card?"

Liu Bai immediately smiled at the two lucky ones.

Why did only two of the three starter Pokémon show up?

...Was Liu Bai trying to make Bronya uncomfortable?

Right now, it's roughly a situation where Bronya avoids Liu Bai, and Liu Bai avoids Bronya.

After all, bringing up Alexandra's matter would be awkward for both sides.

"Hmph~ Let me show you my good luck, Liu Bai!"

Kiana looked very confident.

"After we're done, Liu Bai, have you decided what reward you'll give me?"

That brat has ulterior motives.

Liu Bai knew without even thinking that someone asking for a reward was up to no good.

"Forget it, Kiana."

Mei, feeling somewhat embarrassed, grabbed Kiana.

We must resolutely eliminate unhealthy topics!

Especially these unhealthy topics involving three people! Mei always has a feeling that she's about to get dragged into it.

"When our new companions arrive, it wouldn't be right to ask Mr. Liu Bai to keep his promise, would it?"

"..."

Kiana thought about it and realized, "Hmm, that does seem to be true."

As for fulfilling the promise later... that will have to wait until Liu Bai has time, and they happen to have time as well.

Putting aside Liu Bai, she reckoned that with this new companion arriving, they would need some time to adjust and train together.

But should we give up such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

What's the difference between her and a salted fish?

"How about I grant you one reasonable wish when I have time later?"

Before Kiana could come to a conclusion, Liu Bai tossed her a carrot that smelled delicious.

"Yes, Mei got some too."

"...I don't really need it."

Mei smiled awkwardly.

"It's a deal!"

Kiana was visibly excited.

-

"Gurgle...out, out!"

Kiana is now visibly burned out.

After handing the Fu Xuan doll and the small card to Liu Bai, he was already as dejected as a little glutinous rice ball.

"Okay, okay, at least the minimum payout wasn't wrong, right?"

Mei's luck was just as good as last time.

"Having a guaranteed win that doesn't go wrong already puts you ahead of 90% of people!"

This kind of occasional stroke of luck is quite remarkable.

"What we said before..."

Kiana felt her face burning, something she rarely did.

So embarrassing.

She felt like a firework that had been thwarted.

I started out full of confidence, but now I'm almost completely silent.

"Of course it still counts, but now, could you give me some private space?"

"Okay, okay~"

……

"Speaking of which... these two shouldn't have any conflicts, right?"

The Mirror Stream is actually somewhat similar to the Immortal Boat Bomb.

After all, Fei Xiao's behavior at the time made it very clear that Jing Liu's actions... even if he was implicated, his reputation wouldn't be good.

Well, this doesn't really count as part of the Yin Yue Rebellion. If we only look at the Yin Yue Rebellion, Jing Liu was definitely a major contributor, but he couldn't help but fight with Luo Fu and run away.

These are two different things.

Otherwise, Liu Bai estimated that Jing Liu should normally follow Han Ya Xue Yi's process, and his status should be much higher than these two.

After all, these two were at most captains or generals of the Cloud Cavalry, while Jingliu was the true leader of the Luofu Sword.

But then again, Fu Xuan probably only heard of Jing Liu but never actually met him. According to seniority... well, it's not good to rank people from the Immortal Ship by seniority.

Judging from the time of their appointments alone, Fu Xuan and Fei Xiao were roughly contemporaries, and both lost important people in the same battle.

He doesn't actually have much connection with Jingliu. Feixiao's ability to know him is probably largely due to Jingliu's past achievements.

Well, that achievement is still locked up in Luofu. Yaoqing sends people to check on it every hundred years to collect some materials. If we hadn't come here, Feixiao would have liked to go to Luofu himself to see it.

Thinking about it this way, shouldn't he be more concerned about how Han Ya and Xue Yi feel?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Bai decided it would be better to call Fei Xiao over.

Although Feixiao seemed to dislike Jingliu before, Jingliu had done a great favor for the fox clan.

It's understandable that Feixiao, as a "celestial general of the immortal boat," couldn't stand it, but as a fox-person who had been enslaved by Buliren, it was impossible for him to completely disregard her dignity.

Moreover, the reason why Fei Xiao couldn't stand it was mainly because he was looking at the case file. No matter how fair the case file is, it won't say anything good about a criminal who is practically finished.

After a while.

"You're looking for me?"

Feixiao walked in casually, seemingly no longer caring about what had happened before.

...This attitude made Liu Bai feel slightly uncomfortable.

Is it something interesting or something boring?

"Something embarrassing."

"...Hey! We agreed we'd even!"

Fei Xiao took a half step back in surprise, but her face still couldn't help but turn slightly red.

"Pulling a nail out of the wall doesn't mean it's gone... cough cough, okay, I was just kidding."

Liu Bai quickly pulled Fei Xiao back, who was trying to run away.

Why is this person so easily amused?

"I came to you to break up the fight."

"..."

Fei Xiao's arm trembled, but in the end he still couldn't shake off Liu Bai's hand.

After taking a deep breath to calm himself, Fei Xiao spoke:

"Breaking up a fight? Who's with whom?"

“Jing Liu and Fu Xuan—of course, these two might not necessarily fight, but what if they do…”

"I'm holding it down, right?"

After Liu Baizhen got down to business, Fei Xiao's mind also started working seriously.

Fu Xuan is a short guy, easy to hold down. As for Jing Liu... he couldn't even beat Jing Yuan's Divine Lord back then, so it might be a bit challenging, but not a problem.

Yes, that's easy, no problem.

Feixiao immediately considered how to break up the fight.

"Xiao Pingsheng doesn't like fighting; he only likes to resolve conflicts!"

"...Could you say something more auspicious?"

Liu Bai rolled her eyes.

"What's there to say about this? Have you pulled enough? Let go."

Feixiao looked disgusted.

"..."

That white-eyed fox.

Liu Bai released Fei Xiao's arm, and Fei Xiao subconsciously rubbed the spot where he had been held.

"Stop daydreaming, I'm about to summon."

"Who's spacing out?"

Fei Xiao subconsciously retorted, but then discovered that Liu Bai had already "teleported" away.

"..."

Wait, did I really just space out?

Who should be summoned first?
