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

"Tell me about that little brother... I can give you shares, no, you can even become the boss of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals in the future."

"..."

Natasha's first reaction was that he'd gone mad; this guy had really taken too many drugs and his brain was out of control.

But my second reaction was: Oh no, what if I'm smitten?

Natasha was torn between her inner thoughts and her own.

I've only known Liu Bai for about a week.

They're not really siblings, and they don't have any real feelings for each other.

On the other hand, Jackal is a good sister who has cooperated with us for so many years and gone through thick and thin together...

No, I can't keep this up anymore. "Sharing life and death" means that I have to clean up her messes every single time.

"Gan!"

boom--!

"Now that bastard owes me a company worth tens of billions."

Natasha's heart bled as she watched the jackal spiral backward.

"...What are those two up to?"

Gray Snake looked at the two people beside him expressionlessly—well, he was incapable of making any expressions.

"When did those two become so close?"

"What the hell! Gray Snake, have you lost your mind too?"

Natasha overheard Gray Snake's rant.

"So far, there haven't been any problems." Gray Serpent slowly walked to the two of them. "So, what happened?"

Gray Snake wasn't curious about Jackal's antics; after all, this guy was always courting death.

But it's intriguing to see the raven take action.

Although Raven is a fighter, he is much more mature and prudent than Jackal. He uses his hands instead of his words when fighting outside, and he uses words instead of his hands when dealing with people inside—which is the biggest reason why the two of them have been able to cooperate until today.

Now Raven has defeated Jackal in Shencheng Medicine, and Gray Serpent is quite curious about the reason behind it.

"This girl is having a mental breakdown and wants to be in a relationship. You should wait until she wakes up and ask her yourself. —Although I suggest locking her up for a week to clear her head."

Having missed out on a multi-billion dollar company, Natasha clearly lost interest in chatting.

Incidentally, Natasha also helped Liu Bai cover up the matter of the Love Elixir—to be honest, the jackal who rushed to give her money was the real good jackal.

On the other hand, Natasha really didn't know which jackal posed a greater threat to Liu Bai now, the current one or the normal one.

The jackals that targeted Liu Bai in the past were definitely aiming for slicing and forbidden experiments.

Now that the jackal has its eye on Liu Bai, it's highly likely it'll lock him in a dark room, beat him until he's kneeling and... well, you know...

"I'm leaving early today."

Natasha waved her hand and decisively left work early—she really had no motivation to go to work anymore.

Ah... my Shencheng Medicine...

Oh right, before I leave, I need to go to the Jackal's office to see if I can find a few vials of medicine.

"The jackal wants to fall in love?" Mebius raised an eyebrow upon hearing Gray Serpent's report. "Wasn't the last person to say that Blanca?"

"……Um."

Gray Snake nodded.

Blanca, the former assistant of their lord, is currently... running away with a man.

He also knew that Blanca's situation had caused his master a lot of distress regarding matters of love, which was why the assistant's position was still vacant.

Of course, in the end, their own lord didn't stop them and complied with Blanca's wishes, releasing the people on his own initiative.

Although the snakes in their own world can't be seen in the light, the atmosphere is still quite relaxed.

"...To be honest, Gray Serpent, are you sure today isn't April Fool's Day? If you ask me, this joke... well, it's actually quite funny?"

Are jackals in love?

This joke is as ridiculous as ravens working for free.

Although Mebius privately complained that Jackal's brain wasn't very sharp outside of scientific research, his ambition and dedication to science were undeniable.

—Well, that's how she used to see Blanca too.

"Are you sure Jackal's so-called desire to be in a relationship doesn't mean he wants to dissect this person?"

"...Perhaps you can ask the jackal yourself after he wakes up."

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Handsome Guy, But with a Long Mouth

"Here you go, the medicine you requested."

Back home, Natasha placed a box of fifteen neatly stacked vials of medicine on Liu Bai's desk.

"Don't go loitering around Shencheng Pharmaceutical these next few days. That Jackal guy is looking for experimental subjects right now."

"Ok."

Liu Bai saw the fifteen vials of medicine on the table and indicated that he didn't care.

Anyway, he won't go to Shencheng Pharmacy unless he has to, so he's happy as long as he gets the Love Elixir.

Liu Bai put down the book in his hand and called to Gui Naifen, who was lying on the living room sofa watching TV: "Little Gui, let's go, let's go out!"

"Alright!" Gui Naifen jumped off the sofa. "Give me the money I earn this time to buy a whole set of live-streaming equipment, boss!"

"Wait, are you going to find assassins to conduct experiments on right now?"

Natasha quickly stopped Liu Bai.

"What else? There's nothing else going on right now."

"...Take me with you."

Natasha thought about it and really didn't know how to persuade Liu Bai.

Since that's the case, she might as well go along with it, to save Liu Bai from courting disaster—and to avoid accidentally encountering a jackal.

This kid's troublesome nature is quite unusual.

Natasha becomes a temporary teammate.

"Hey, Natasha, can you beat an Emperor-class Honkai Beast?"

"Huh? Why are you asking this?" Natasha, who was running around like a headless fly with Liu Bai, looked at him strangely. "You could definitely beat him in a fight, but it would be quite a commotion."

"What if both are on the same stage?"

"Just tell me to die."

"That's it..."

Liu Bai shifted his gaze from the purplish-red simulated calyx in front of him.

"Sis, get ready."

"Is there any need to maintain a persona at this point?"

Natasha extended the sharp claws from her combat suit.

"So, where is the enemy?"

"It's coming right away."

From Natalie's perspective, Liu Bai reached out and made a grasping motion. The next moment, Natalie felt a strong collapse energy reaction.

"Hey! What's this?!"

The floating groups of assassins, each with a black flag and a white banner, emerged from the shadows.

"The white ones are the Soul Reapers, and the black ones are the same kind of Netherworld Soul Reapers. They are all good stuff."

"Of course I know these are Soul Reapers... but aren't these rare creatures that only appear in the Destiny textbook? There are way too many of them!"

Natasha was clearly starting to lose her composure.

"If I remember correctly, these guys have control abilities, right?"

"But it has no offensive capabilities."

Compared to the support abilities of the Soul Reaper, its offensive capabilities are almost negligible, consisting only of silk threads and self-destruction.

"But sis! You're in charge of the one inside! Just feed her the medicine!"

Liu Bai pointed to the last individual, which looked almost identical to the Netherworld Death Warrior.

She was the only one standing alone—the boss unit in this instance, the original boss of the Memory Battlefield in the game, Annihilation Spirit.

A powerful assassin unit capable of both offense and defense.

If the goal is to kill, the ethereal ability of the spirit-type assassins is definitely a problem.

But... he came here specifically to administer the medicine.

"I understand! Xiao Gui, protect your boss!"

"Don't worry! I'll take care of the boss's safety!"

The Soul Reapers weren't going to wait for them to exchange tactics; they had already begun their attack while they were talking.

It's just... too slow.

Even ordinary people can withstand the silk thread attacks of the Soul-Sinking Assassins as long as they remain calm.

The startup animation is too obvious.

"Wow ah ah!"

Well, it might not be so obvious to Gui Naifen.

"coming!"

Liu Bai ran towards Gui Naifen.

Gui Naifen's strength is not bad; even on their first meeting, she shouldn't be instantly killed.

Moreover, the two were standing close together, and Liu Bai ran to Gui Naifen's side in two steps, picked her up, and started running.

"Eh eh eh eh?"

Gui Naifen clearly never imagined that she would one day be carried in a princess carry.

And still...

"You're a bit heavy, Xiao Guizi."

"How can you say that, boss?!" Gui Naifen's newly awakened girlish heart was instantly shattered by Liu Bai's words. "As an artist, I've always tried my best to control my weight! It's clearly you, boss, who lacks exercise!"
