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

Although she knew the pot was magical, even with this preparation, Firefly was still surprised when she saw it.

"Put the alchemy cauldron and crafting table on the third floor."

"Understood, Master."

After all that happened last night, Liu Bai is broke again.

The original 2.5 million has now dwindled to a pitiful 20,000—but that's enough.

"Liu Ying, Xiao Gui Zi, you two can choose any room to stay in. I'll go check out the other facilities."

The most important equipment is the two things I just bought—especially the alchemy pot.

Alchemy in the game is a very interesting gameplay element.

The mechanism is very simple: throw all sorts of random things into the pot, and after a while, it will randomly produce something for you.

For new players, alchemy is basically a place where they can recycle junk and draw cards to try their luck.

For veteran players... this alchemy mechanism is a reliable way to win big with small investments.

Every item in the game has a hidden stat – let's call it an alchemy stat.

The mechanism of alchemy, simply put, is (x + x + x ...) / 2.

Finally, the item whose alchemy value is closest to this calculation result will be selected as the alchemy result.

On the third floor, looking at the large pot of bubbling green liquid in front of him, Liu Bai began throwing things into it.

Mystery meat, star mushrooms, ordinary pork, potatoes...

"Boss, are you making potato, mushroom, and meat soup?" Gui Naifen, who smelled the aroma, peeked in from outside the door. "Didn't we just finish breakfast?"

"Go away, go away."

Liu Bai's face darkened after being annoyed by Gui Naifen, and he told her to leave.

Well, there's absolutely no way to refute this statement. In fact, these old martial arts players (they nine) said the same thing a lot when they were playing Alchemy Spirit Pot Dream.

Especially for low-grade materials, the minimum unit to throw in is 100g...

It looks very much like making soup.

"Okay, boss! You can't eat alone!"

If the hidden values ​​of these mod ingredients haven't been changed in the update, then the result should be...

[Smart Beverages (Beverages)]

[Depending on the amount consumed, reading efficiency is increased by 1% to 100%, lasting for one hour. This effect cannot be stacked with other items.]

Liu Bai stirred the pot for several seconds and then successfully scooped up a small bottle containing green liquid.

This is the most practical item that Liu Bai can concoct so far.

Going up to a hundred million more, either it's useless, or the alchemy values ​​are too high. Most of these alchemy values ​​are in the single digits, so you simply can't synthesize anything good.

carry on.

This time, Liu Bai added less of the mysterious meat and some extra activated star mushrooms.

Well, the highest grade of these things is actually the Mysterious Meat—because it can identify any kind of meat.

It's like a small meat treasure chest.

Of course, the hidden values ​​will most likely decrease after identification, and there is only a small chance that rare meat ingredients such as "Elephant Meat of Emperor-level Honkai Beast" will appear - although who knows if it will still be edible after the identification.

[Charming fragrance (props)]

[Effective after full application. Increases favorability by 50% when favorability increases and decreases it by 50%. Duration is one hour. Cannot be stacked with other favorability bonuses.]

Nothing has changed.

One is used to quickly study books, and the other is used to quickly gain favor.

After confirming that the alchemy values ​​had not changed, Liu Bai kept only the necessary ingredients and threw the rest into the pot, making several more portions of each in the same way.

Then Liu Bai went out and greeted Gui Naifen before returning to the real world. He then took out the physical training book he had bought yesterday, drank his beverage in one gulp, and then read it while keeping watch over the house.

[Started reading "Elementary Physical Training", current progress: Page 1, 1%...]

[Physical skills unlocked, experience gain in progress...]

[Reading progress reached 50%, physical fitness level increased to 2]

Three hours later, his physical fitness level was successfully improved, and Liu Bai's body began to be filled with a warm current.

ding dong~~

"Is Mr. Liu Bai home?"

Is this... a doorbell?

Chapter Twenty-Six: Yelan's Invitation

"...Ms. Yelan?"

When Liu Bai heard the voice, he was still a little unsure. Only after seeing the person who came did he realize that it was indeed Ye Lan, not Rita, whom he was waiting for.

"Hello~" Ye Lan was still in the same pose as yesterday, wearing her robe, and smiled familiarly at Liu Bai. "What's wrong? What's with that expression?"

"Slightly...surprised?"

Liu Bai spoke the truth.

"You coming to my door is quite unexpected."

"Wow—that's quite direct." Ye Lan smiled, arms crossed. "Is Mr. Liu Bai waiting for Rita?"

"...Aren't you quite direct yourself?"

"That's called speaking frankly." Ye Lan didn't intend to go inside, but only peeked inside from the doorway. "Is your sister... Raven, here?"

Liu Bai wasn't too surprised by Ye Lan's question or why Ye Lan had come to him.

After all, according to Raven's previous statement, his intelligence had already been handled by Night Orchid.

"No."

"This guy is really careless... By the way, Liu Bai, haven't you gotten a little muscular?"

Ye Lan's senses were very sharp, and she had already vaguely sensed the increase in Liu Bai's physical fitness.

However, his overly familiar manner meant that he had already dropped the "sir" title in just a few words.

"Ah, it was just a casual question, don't take it to heart." Ye Lan also felt that her question was a bit strange.

"It's alright. So, by the way, Ms. Yelan, is there anything I can do for you today?"

"We've been asked to invite our alien friends—don't worry, our Chamber of Commerce isn't interested in you, even if you are indeed a rare commodity."

Ye Lan gestured for her to proceed.

"I'm actually looking forward to the day when Rita realizes this herself. No, I'm even more looking forward to the day when Rita discovers your fake relationship with Raven."

"Could you please stop looking like you're watching this with amusement?"

"Watching the fun is a privilege reserved for outsiders."

Ye Lan stretched lazily.

"Although the Chamber of Commerce is no longer quite an outsider, can I assume that you, Liu Bai, have accepted the invitation?"

"Wait a moment, I'll go find my bodyguard," Bai sighed.

"Hey, Liu Bai, do you have a habit of bringing another girl along when you go on dates with other girls?"

"..."

Liu Bai was speechless.

Ye Lan (patted Liu Bai's shoulder with one hand): "Don't worry, I'll be your bodyguard today—Dad, I don't mind being a third wheel."

"For intelligence?"

"You're being too perceptive."

Ye Lan smiled broadly.

"Night Orchid" becomes a temporary companion.

What is this... This prompt sounds like something out of an RPG game.

"Then let me tidy myself up first."

Let me spray some perfume first.

"Just asking, Liu Bai, how much do you know about our world?"

In the car, Ye Lan, wearing sunglasses, continued chatting with Liu Bai while driving.

"Hmm... I know quite a bit about it, things like Honkai, Destiny, and Anti-Entropy."

"I see... Although I don't want to admit it, recognizing these things does mean I've come to understand this world. Hey, Liu Bai, does your planet also have Honkai?"

"No—I had never heard of any Honkai before coming to this planet." Bai maintained his interstellar persona. "This planet is beyond the scope of our known universe, and besides, I am not a professional in scientific research."

"So you mean some super remote mountain valley... I saw from Gray Serpent's records that you're a pretty wealthy businessman in the universe? Are you bragging or serious?"

"It depends on how you define the word 'rich'."

"Indeed, definitions are very important—so is the universe peaceful? Let's go by the most basic definition."

"Then it's all over. It's not peaceful at all. There will be all sorts of trouble. If you want to hear it, I can tell you all about it slowly."

"Sigh... My cosmic dream is shattered." Ye Lan put on a fake sad expression. "Anyway, thanks. Considering the free information you gave me, we're even—perfect timing, we've arrived."

As the two chatted, Ye Lan's car pulled up in front of the Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce gate showed absolutely no sign of having been attacked yesterday.

Just like Liu Bai remembered yesterday—including the blank-eyed white paramecium in front of the door.

This construction speed is truly astounding.

"Slacking off at work, 100 yuan deducted."

After parking the car, the first thing Yelan did after getting out was to kick Kiana's shin.

"ha--?"

“Disrespecting your superior will result in a deduction of 100.”

"No, I haven't said anything yet!"

“Still talking back? Another hundred will be deducted.”

Liu Bai watched quietly as Ye Lan played the role of an unscrupulous boss—this person seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.

However, Ye Lan then pointed at Liu Bai.

"What should I say when I see a guest?"

"A guest? Oh! It's you, you're here again today!" Kiana recognized Liu Bai immediately.

"What do you mean 'Here we go again today'? Kiana, are you really not going to use your brain at all?"

"Yes, yes, yes... Hey you, welcome to the Liyue Merchant Guild~~"

Kiana spoke in a drawn-out, dismissive tone.

"...Sigh, even I have these kinds of headaches sometimes." Ye Lan sighed helplessly. "Let's go, Liu Bai, let's ignore this girl."

Liu Bai didn't care much; it would be strange if Kiana took this kind of thing seriously.

After greeting Kiana, he followed Yelan into the merchant guild.

Perhaps because it was nearing noon, the chamber of commerce was much more lively today than yesterday, resembling a large shopping mall.

What if another attack...

No, there shouldn't be any mountains there. Ming is a low-class person, and I'm afraid he'll be so insane as to launch a vicious attack.

Following Ye Lan, Liu Bai saw Rita in front of a flower shop.
