About half an hour later, Ye Lan stopped her car next to an abandoned building in the suburbs.
As soon as the car came to a stop, several girls wearing tactical goggles and black shorts immediately surrounded it.
They're so short they're practically down to the upper thigh, it's like they're not wearing pants at all...
Awesome.
"Vice Captain! You've finally arrived... Um, and who is this?"
These Valkyries with their indestructible blades also noticed the other people in the car.
Ye Lan and the others know him; he's currently the temporary head of the Sky Dome branch of the Chamber of Commerce... but what's this handsome guy next to him doing?
There's not much of an oppressive atmosphere here, even though this is a battlefield!
"The unofficial assistants for this operation are here to witness the fighting style of the Undying Blade."
Along the way, Rita gave Liu Bai a slightly embellished explanation of destiny and what the Undying Blade was for.
"An unofficial...assistant?"
Although their expressions couldn't be seen through the goggles, anyone could sense that these team members were having some doubts.
This girl looks so delicate and frail, she doesn't seem like someone who can fight...
Is it really not our own vice-captain flirting with a guy?
"Explain the situation. What is the source of this collapse?"
"Judging from the reaction, it's a Honkai Emperor," the team member replied.
The strongest among the higher-ranking Honkai Beasts has already transcended the category of elite monsters.
According to game standards, these are mini-bosses. The Emperor-level and Judgment-level Honkai Beasts are considered high-level bosses and world bosses.
"The Honkai Emperor... a perfect opponent."
With an elegant smile, Rita conjured a scythe in her hand.
This type of Honkai Beast, positioned at the bottom of the grid, is very suitable as proof.
It was within the range that she could easily handle, yet it was also sufficiently oppressive.
"Prepare for battle! Lure them out first."
"Yes!"
Although the team members suspected that their vice-captain was just showing off in front of the men, they still acted without any hesitation.
Several Valkyries pulled grenades from their waists and threw them into the building through the windows and doors in unison.
At the same time, the system popped up several temporary queue entry prompts.
"Energy-absorbing grenades are projectiles specifically designed to absorb Honkai energy. They are effective against both humans and beasts." Ye Lan showed no intention of assisting and continued to explain to Liu Bai.
boom--!
"Roar--!"
The explosion and the roar rang out almost simultaneously.
"Hmm...?" Bai suddenly felt that something was wrong.
But the next moment, the building roared again, and a huge figure emerged from the smoke.
"Ah this..."
Liu Bai stared at the little giant emerging from the smoke, a look of utter disbelief on his face.
With its enormous size, mask, purple crystals resembling minerals on its back, and purple lightning crackling all over its body—this is the damn Chuchu Raikou!
You call this Honkai Impact 3rd?!
Liu Bai looked at Ye Lan with a puzzled expression, but Ye Lan seemed indifferent.
"You guys are really lucky to have encountered such a rare species as a Hilichurl."
"Rare species?"
"Ah, these are the Honkai Beasts whose formation is currently unknown—although they look humanoid, they are classified as Honkai Beasts because they are not transformed from humans. And because they are different from Honkai Beasts themselves, they were simply named after a race from a science fiction novel."
Yelan watched Rita slowly walk towards King Raichu.
"However, just considering the value of the raw materials, they are not as valuable as normal Honkai Beasts because they have certain flesh and blood characteristics and their vitality is slightly inferior to normal Honkai Beasts, but the sense of oppression... is still there, right?"
A three-meter-tall, almost entirely muscular monster giant is indeed very intimidating.
However, Liu Bai's attention was not on that at all.
"I see……"
Is this really the setting?
Liu Bai seemed to understand the creator's thought process a little better.
Genshin Impact's monsters are categorized into only a few types: elemental life forms, alien monsters, Hilichurl tribes, autonomous organizations, the Abyss, the Fatui, and some humanoid monsters.
Were they all simply and crudely thrown into Honkai?
Hmm... If creatures that look humanoid but not humanoid are classified as Honkai Beasts, then monsters that don't even have a humanoid form will definitely be classified as Honkai Beasts.
Then there are those that look somewhat like humans, or like humans but not completely. Basically, the better ones are suicide soldiers, and the worse ones are directly Honkai Beasts.
After all, the mod description didn't mention adding any Abyss faction or Winter's End faction to the game.
This is pretty tragic; they can't even be considered human anymore.
But wouldn't it feel awkward to see something like an autonomous organization become a Honkai Beast?
"Roar--!"
In the open space outside the building, seeing the silver maid slowly walking towards him, King Raichu seemed to sense danger, subconsciously took a step back, and roared a threat.
"excuse me."
Rita smiled slightly, then brandished her scythe and lunged forward.
Upon seeing this, King Raichu roared angrily, pounding his chest twice like a monkey, producing a dull thud, before charging towards Rita with his fists swung.
Frosty mist filled the air, and silver light traced a graceful arc.
The maid gracefully spun overhead and passed over the giant.
The giant remained frozen in place, still in the gesture of throwing a punch.
[Defeat the normal boss, Hilichurl Raikou, to obtain 5 Gacha Coins]
One hit kill.
Liu Bai was not surprised by this result; Sister Ta's taste was inferior to those arrogant and domineering characters.
In low to mid-tier matches, Rita still has the skill to smurf.
The values in this mod are quite balanced.
The big boss was leading the way in frying fish, and the reward was exactly what it should be. Isn't that a kind of freeloading?
Well, it's not so bad that these guys are classified as Honkai, otherwise, Kikuri Ryuu no Kabuto wouldn't be considered a BOSS.
"The cleanup work has been handed over to you guys."
Rita, having retrieved her scythe, politely nodded to her teammates.
"Yes, I understand!" The Valkyries of the Undying Blade looked flattered.
After giving her instructions, Rita smiled and looked at Liu Bai: "Mr. Liu Bai, would you like to try touching this big guy?"
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mr. Liu Bai, you didn't want this either...
In the end, Liu Bai still touched it.
I'm just curious about what the "scarf" around the neck of the Chuchu King feels like.
Well, the final conclusion was quite rough.
It doesn't feel good at all.
Then Liu Bai spent the whole day running around the suburbs with Rita.
Running back and forth between different points, although he didn't encounter any bosses that guaranteed to drop gacha coins, Liu Bai managed to collect a ten-pull by using Rita's unstoppable mowing ability.
"Well, Mr. Liu Bai, do you now have a general understanding of the 'unusual' forces lurking around you?"
Rita, having killed the last assassin, looked at Liu Bai.
A day's hard work deserves an answer.
"...That's certainly quite unusual."
Liu Bai really wanted to tell Rita "not enough," but if he actually said it, he might not be able to leave peacefully.
Okay, the main problem is that it's easier to fool Raven than Rita.
This applies to both returns and risks.
And to be honest, Liu Bai really felt sorry for the assassin's sister's underwear.
"So let's get back to my sister, Ms. Rita. Since you told me about this, it must have been more than just a simple notification, right?"
“That’s right, Mr. Liu Bai, I think you wouldn’t want your sister to continue to be mired in the dark organization, would you?”
"..."
So, should he now be saying "Please don't" while undressing his wife?
~麇:
"Well, what I mean is, if Mr. Liu Bai can find a way to persuade your sister to leave that organization called World Serpent, I can guarantee with my reputation that I will not let her go, and I can even give her a job where she can stand in the sunlight."
Rita seemed to have noticed something from Liu Bai's expression and quickly changed her words.
"What do you need me to do?" Bai asked, curious about where Rita would begin. "Even if I know about this now, my sister never tells me anything. I can't just ask her directly, can I? What if she starts pressing me for answers..."
At the same time, this also tells Rita that she cannot confront them head-on.
"Wait for an opportunity. I will create an opportunity for you to join the world of snakes, and then you just need to act as an agent."
Rita gave an encouraging smile.
To be honest, her purpose in bringing the team here was actually to find the extraterrestrial visitors and bring them back.
But if given the chance, Rita wouldn't mind giving World Serpent a hard time.
After all, the world snakes are too erratic in every way now.
It would be even better if we could kidnap another ace fighter from World Serpent.
Based on their previous encounters, "Snake's" overall combat strength might even be slightly stronger than hers.
Such talents are rare and hard to find. Even his younger brother is quite talented, so it's a good deal to have him as a buy-one-get-one-free offer.
“Ms. Yelan, please take Mr. Liu Bai back. By the way, please make sure to hide the bracelet that indicates his status as an unofficial staff member.”
"Don't worry, I definitely won't let my sister know."
Rita was very satisfied with Liu Bai's answer, and then she looked at Ye Lan.
"..."
Ye Lan, with a hesitant expression, finally shrugged, indicating that she would not reveal it.
"Then I'll trouble Ms. Yelan to escort Mr. Liu Bai back."

"I'm telling you..." Ye Lan, who was driving with one hand, had a strange expression on her face. "You've really played Rita too well, haven't you? Be careful she doesn't realize what's going on and kill you. I won't protect you then. This is entirely your own fault."
"Aren't there ravens too?"
Liu Bai revealed an innocent smile.
"Besides...who said I was planning to betray them?"
It's too ugly to turn against both sides and try to profit from both sides after getting a little benefit.
