Wearing a bright red cheongsam and with white hair tied in two buns... isn't that Kiana?

And what kind of weird design is this?!

Are you celebrating the Chinese New Year?

"But that person's eyes were lecherous!"

"Hmm?" Ye Lan turned her head and glanced at Liu Bai.

Liu Bai raised his hand slightly, looking a little embarrassed, as if to greet her.

What do you mean by "lecherous eyes"... This kind of slander is too much.

"You're not allowed to talk about the guests like that. If you slander the guests again, I'll dock your pay. If you can't pay back the money, your entire Far East branch will have to come and work for you."

Ye Lan reached out and tapped Kiana on the head, then turned to Liu Bai with a very professional smile.

"Welcome to Liyue Merchant Guild~ Handsome, looking to buy a gift for your girlfriend? We just received a new batch of lapis lazuli jewelry, and it's currently on a fantastic 10% discount~"

"Um... well, I'm a bodyguard." Gui Naifen, who was standing next to Liu Bai, awkwardly took a half step back.

"Oh dear~ appearances can be deceiving." Ye Lan showed no embarrassment at admitting her mistake, quickly changing the subject and smoothing things over, "Please forgive my rudeness just now, esteemed guest, what would you like?"

Chapter Fourteen: Supermarket Shopping Spree

"I'm here to buy some ingredients."

Liu Bai was somewhat surprised to see Ye Lan here, after all, she was a core figure in the Chamber of Commerce. Normally, the bosses of branch Chambers of Commerce are usually generic NPCs.

Is this some kind of special plot?

There was even Kiana, a character from Honkai Impact 3rd, standing right next to her.

Having already been shocked by so many surreal things, Liu Bai was only slightly surprised.

"Oh, are you a purchasing agent?" Ye Lan's smile widened.

Generally speaking, the sales amount of the purchases will not be small.

"Please come with me, both of you."

Ye Lan led Liu Bai and Gui Naifen into the Chamber of Commerce, leaving Kiana at the door pouting.

She doesn't know how to entertain guests.

After Yelan left, Kiana simply leaned lazily against the door and started slacking off.

"Ugh... what is Mom thinking...?"

She, a dignified B-level female warrior, actually had to act as a receptionist at the temple gate? What kind of logic is that!

"...Speaking of which, that receptionist lady," Liu Bai couldn't help but ask Ye Lan about Kiana in the magnificent Chinese-style corridor, "she doesn't seem to be from your merchant guild, does she?"

"Hmm? You have a very keen eye for detail."

Ye Lan turned her head, a relaxed smile on her face.

“I don’t think this has anything to do with being meticulous.” Bai’s tone was also quite casual. “I don’t think that receptionists who are already on the job need the boss to give them hands-on training.”

"Eh... this angle is really hard to refute." Ye Lan stretched, but then remembered that this gesture was a bit impolite in front of the guests, so she immediately put her hand down.

Well done, thank you for the treat.

This is basically clothing that comes with built-in armpit support...

Liu Bai silently commented in his mind.

This is his true passion for modding...

Why do I still need to survive in the game world when I've already installed the erotic mod?

"But I'm sorry, although you've seen an unseemly side of our store, that kid is really just a new employee."

Ye Lan resumed a slightly more business-like tone.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bai withdrew his useless sentiments.

Oh, so you mean you can't tell me anything, right?

"This is our chamber of commerce's food section. What would you like to do?" Ye Lan stopped and gestured for them to enter.

"Wow...wow wow wow!" The air conditioning in the store and the dazzling array of ingredients made Gui Naifen exclaim in surprise, "This is my first time in such a big shopping mall, it's amazing."

"Has Xiao Guizi never been to such a big shopping mall before?"

“Immortal… My family’s Babian witch does have a cage merchant guild, but I don’t have the money to stay there, although Miss Tingyun of the Minghuo Dream Merchant Guild is a very kind person.”

"Didn't you find a more suitable analogy than the company?" Bai walked into the refrigerated section, teasing as he looked at the various ingredients inside. "By the way, is Miss Tingyun's neck alright?"

It contains more traditional ingredients such as shrimp, ham, and mushrooms.

There are also Genshin Impact-themed ingredients like living star mushrooms and tidal algae, which are casually eaten in the game but make people wonder if they are even safe to eat in real life.

"Eh? You know someone—"

Boom——!

Just as Gui Naifen was speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside, causing the entire Chamber of Commerce to shake violently.

"Boss! Are you alright!" Gui Naifen reached out and grabbed Liu Bai, who almost lost his balance. "What is this...?"

Even though Gui Naifen wasn't from Earth, she could still realize the true nature of that loud noise.

explosion.

Then, a piercing beeping sound rang out throughout the entire chamber of commerce.

"Damn it, Ling! The dream is broken! Ugh!" Ye Lanqi realized what she had done, and without caring about the clothes draped over her shoulders, she threw them off and ran back the way she came, completely ignoring Liu Bai and Gui Naifen.

"Boss, what's wrong with us..." Gui Naifen looked at Liu Bai with a questioning expression.

It's obvious that they've gotten themselves and their fathers into trouble.

Lin Qiayi

Ugh... this is troublesome.

Gui Naifen thought she was already quite used to all sorts of troubles, but she still couldn't help but panic when faced with something so unexpected.

"It would be troublesome if we encountered bandits who robbed and plundered our homes..."

Gui Naifen muttered.

She, the eldest brother of the Wu clan, once abandoned her younger siblings to become a pirate in an interstellar sea in order to support them.

Although he was a righteous thief who robbed the rich to help the poor without harming the innocent, it did not prevent Gui Naifen from knowing what most bandits were like. Incidentally, it was precisely because her elder brother was a righteous thief who only robbed money and did not harm people that her family was pardoned by the Immortal Boat.

"Not bandits."

Liu Bai helped Gui Naifen stand up straight.

Damn it, my physical fitness is still too weak.

"Yes……"

"what is it then?"

A short-haired maid with sleek eyes and a sickle in her hand stood at the doorway, smiling as she stared at Liu Bai.

"Who?"

Gui Naifen took out the drumsticks from her waist, stood in front of Liu Bai, shielding him behind her, and stared warily at the maid in front of her.

Bandits?

Although the other person didn't look particularly vicious, they spoke as if their own stupid older brother looked extremely vicious.

Even among the infamous Star Core Hunters, there are beautiful women, aren't there?

"...It's dangerous outside. Please stay here and don't move around."

After saying that, the maid holding the sickle gave Liu Bai a deep look before turning and leaving, heading towards the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce where the explosion had occurred.

"Eh?"

Seeing the maid leave decisively, Katsura Naifen, who had been prepared to see blood, was stunned for a moment.

"Not bandits? They're... like the Cloud Cavalry?"

"Hard to say."

Liu Bai's expression was solemn.

"Also, those aren't bandits outside, they're ravens."

Raven, Kiana... and Rita from just now.

Isn’t this a coincidence?

Three women and one drama.

Not to mention there's also a night-blooming jasmine.

"Huh? Miss Raven?" Katsura Naifen jumped up in surprise. "How...how is this connected to Miss Raven?"

"I forgot to tell you."

Liu Bai remained quite calm.

"You know Star Core Hunter, right?"

"Who doesn't know that!"

"Is the World Serpent a minor Star Core Hunter? No, maybe it's even a little bit worse than a Star Core Hunter?"

"...a den of thieves?"

"Relax, it's not that serious. After all, a planet is not like the universe; it doesn't have as many intricate and complex things."

Panicking won't help.

"Fine...fine, a den of thieves it is."

Liu Bai's composure quickly infected Gui Naifen.

It's like you've never been in a den of thieves before.

"Boss, what's our next step? Run away?"

"Run, I know the way."

In a highly free open world, a player who hasn't robbed a shop isn't a good player.

"But let's buy something first."

"What kind of time is this for you to be in this mood! Couldn't you just find a random market? And who are you going to pay for this now?!"

"Some things you can't buy at the market."

Liu Bai glanced at the shelves; they all had QR codes.

Nothing much to say, just went on a shopping spree.

"I was just buying things legitimately. After all, it's always good to leave room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future."

Chapter Fifteen: This guy is... weird.

"Cough cough...Where did all these Honkai Beasts and zombies come from?!"

Kiana dodged the charge of a Knight-class Honkai Beast and kicked away another assassin.

"And there was that explosion just now—"

boom--!

On the rooftop of the building in the distance, a woman wearing a jackal mask arrogantly kicked the black-clad sniper next to her twice.

"Hey, Raven, don't kill my experimental subject."

"Shut up, Jackal. I know better than you that we used regular bullets."

Raven retorted before putting away his gun and getting up.

"Hey! Raven, what are you doing?" The jackal was very annoyed as he watched the raven turn and leave.
