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

The trail hasn't gone cold yet.

Rita's mind flashed back to the couple she had seen at the Chamber of Commerce.

Regardless, let's try to get some information from those two.

That said, Rita believed one of Yelan's points—that the two people who could calmly pay for groceries even in a crisis probably weren't spies or traitors.

At most, they might be considered local bullies who know some information?

He doesn't seem like a bad person.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Is the person gone?"

After learning the whereabouts of the two people from Kiana, Yelan stretched, and Rita's smile remained unchanged.

Well, after all, she's Kiana.

Rita still has some resistance.

“That’s perfect.” Rita rested her chin on her hand and pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Yelan. “Ms. Yelan, do you have any gift recommendations?”

"Ah...it's already on the news."

On the bus, the loudspeaker was broadcasting news about the Honkai incident at the Liyue Merchant Guild in the Sky Dome District.

"After all, that commotion was quite significant," Gui Naifen said, sounding somewhat shaken. "It seems like you're quite prone to getting into trouble."

"It has nothing to do with me at all."

Liu Bai rolled her eyes.

It just so happens to be the storyline of the World Serpent faction, right?

If I had a normal World Snake start, I might have already been dragged onto the battlefield by the raven as a low-level combatant.

So, does that mean the World Serpent's questline is to capture the Valkyrie?

It feels very seductive and has a witchy vibe, but thinking about the snake master (who is now) is cold and ruthless... well, it might be a bit scary.

"Never mind, let's go to the next stop, the library."

"...The boss is still wandering around?" Gui Naifen was a little dumbfounded.

"Um... we really have to go."

The Sumeru Library sells skill books and crafting recipes.

Similarly, the Mondstadt bar sells various buff dishes.

You can pay money to pray at Inazuma Shrine, and you might receive buffs or items.

The Fontaine Opera House is a great place for dates; inviting your chosen character to watch a play there will significantly boost their favorability.

Of course, generally speaking, characters like Ye Lan can only be seen at headquarters. Seeing them at this branch is probably just for the sake of the plot.

...Although it sounds strange to talk about the plot in the real world.

"So it's not like you can skip the Chamber of Commerce meeting?"

Gui Naifen discovered the key point.

Chapter Eighteen This is... my sister

"A reassuringly generic face..."

Liu Bai glanced at the unremarkable administrator in front of the counter and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If he encounters anything else, he might really start to doubt his luck.

"follow me."

Liu Bai helped Gui Naifen get a library card at the counter, successfully increasing the library's favorability.

"Let's go, Xiao Guizi, let's take a look around. The books on the first floor are for sale, and the books on the second floor are for borrowing, but there aren't many good books to borrow here."

The higher the level of the book, the more favorability it requires from the relevant faction.

"Found it, basic physical training."

Liu Bai picked up an A4-sized magazine from the magazine section.

[Beginner Physical Training Book (Book/Magazine): Physical training level is gained based on reading progress. After complete reading, the level can be increased to a maximum of 3. Studying this book will slightly improve other attributes.]

Attribute Book mod.

Add basic skill books to the library so you don't have to rely on slow attribute growth through practice.

Next to the physical training materials, Liu Bai also found the "Beginner Agility Training Book" and the "Beginner Strength Training Book".

Each volume has fewer than one hundred pages.

Training manuals for intermediate and higher levels can only be obtained from headquarters.

"Wow, boss, why did you buy such an expensive magazine?"

Gui Naifen, who was also picking out magazines, turned her head and was startled when she saw the magazines that Liu Bai had put into the bag.

"There's a reason why it's expensive. What do you value in it?"

"This one, this one."

[Liyue Ancient Opera Style Explained Part 21 (Book/Magazine): Reading the entire book will grant a small amount of singing skill experience.]

It's just an ordinary skill book—of course, from Gui Naifen's and other normal people's perspectives, it's just an ordinary opera magazine.

"This is the one..."

While Liu Bai was looking at the attributes, another person came and took a book.

Then Liu Bai could feel the other person's gaze fall on him.

"Um... sir, are you a fan of traditional Chinese performing arts?"

This feeling of being caught in a mess...

"No, that's not it." Bai put the magazine in his bag and shook his head in denial.

I just got the tool to turn my life around, so I'd better not get involved in any weird random events...?

Liu Bai was stunned the moment he saw who was standing next to him.

A young woman with waist-length red hair, wearing white casual clothes, and whose features and figure were impeccable, stood beside him.

Is this person Eden?

Gui Naifen, standing behind Eden, also looked completely at a loss, and... ashamed of herself.

“Isn’t that right? So they’re the audience.” Hearing Liu Bai’s answer, the young woman, who seemed to be from Eden, didn’t show any disappointment. “Excuse me for suddenly striking up a conversation with you.”

The woman bowed slightly to Liu Bai in apology.

"...Are you a celebrity?" Bai couldn't help but ask, looking at the woman in front of him.

"Eh? Me?" The woman who seemed to be from Eden was taken aback by Liu Bai's question, but then she gave an impeccably polite smile. "I will definitely be one in the future."

Eden's favorability: 1517

Is it really Eden? A younger, unnamed version? The initial favorability is 15, which is not bad.

"By the way, sir, are you a celebrity?" Dian seemed to have found a way to chat and looked at Liu Bai with some curiosity.

"No, and I don't think it will be in the future either."

Liu Bai replied using Eden's sentence structure.

"That's a real pity." Although Dian said that, he still had a relaxed smile on his face.

"Miss, you don't look like you're from the Sky Dome District?"

“Obviously.” Dian smoothed his long hair. “I just failed to get a job and am currently on a trip to gain experience.”

"A talent agency? If I were your manager, I would definitely tie you down with an astronomical contract."

Liu Bai's compliment brought a slight smile to Eden's face.

"It's because I couldn't accept that kind of contract that I've been unemployed and haven't been able to find a job, sir."

Eden's favorability: 1720

"However, this job search failure has nothing to do with the contract."

"Oh?"

"You know, the Liyue Merchant Guild owns an entertainment company."

"Entertainment company? Oh, you mean a theatrical troupe? Yunhan Society?"

"I can't tell the difference between the two."

Eden nodded as he answered, clearly indicating that the company he had failed to get the job from was Yunhan Society.

"This time, I was criticized by the head of Yunhan Society for 'completely ignorant of traditional performing arts'." Dian fiddled with the unopened magazine in his hand.

“There is indeed a big difference between singing style and singing – don’t you think so, Xiao Guizi?”

"Ah...uh...mmm!" Gui Naifen nodded somewhat awkwardly.

I'm a beginner too! Boss, please don't make things difficult for me!

"Does this young lady know traditional Chinese performing arts?"

"I...I'm just a beginner too." Facing Eden, whose appearance overwhelmed her, Gui Naifen was quite reserved.

“I see… Ah, we’ve been chatting for so long and haven’t even introduced ourselves yet. My name is Eden.”

"Liu Bai, this is my friend Gui Naifen."

"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" It seems even Eden has a bit of a gossipy streak when it comes to small things.

"No, just friends."

"Oh, I see... So, is that your girlfriend in the back?"

Eden pointed behind Liu Bai.

"Ok?"

Liu Bai turned around and saw a woman with short gray-black hair, wearing a black leather jacket, with a cold expression, looking very much like a mafia boss, staring at him without moving behind him.

Upon seeing that Liu Bai had discovered her, the underworld boss, Raven, walked up to him with a cold face and patted him on the shoulder.

You're something else, kid.

I risked my life to make sure you weren't kidnapped by someone else, and here you are, flirting with girls, huh?

He's still flirting with such...high-quality women.

I don't recall the Lord granting you mating rights!

Upon seeing Eden's appearance, Raven felt a rare sense of inferiority, as if "dark characters should stay in the corner."

“I am his relative, and I am responsible for taking care of him in the Sky Dome.”

After confirming several times that Eden was not a dangerous person on the list, Raven's face remained cold, but his tone towards Eden was relatively normal.

"...?"

Mr. Liu Bai... was he really not kidnapped?

"I have abandoned the second minister!" Lin looked at Liu Sibai and the woman in front of him who claimed to be a relative of the deceased.

To be honest, apart from the similar hair color, I really can't see any resemblance—she's very sensitive to a person's appearance.

"Um...this,this is my sister, that..."

"Natasha, just call me Natasha."

"..."

Hey, you guys all have different ways of naming your kids, right?

Eden wore an impeccably polite smile.
