"It's because I exercise that I can carry you and run like this now!"

If I hadn't been reading these past few days, I wouldn't have been able to pick up Gui Naifen and run at full speed in the first place.

On the other hand, this was the first time Liu Bai had ever hugged a woman.

How do you say that?

Fragrant and soft...

"Sigh... my first time is gone just like that."

"Are you going to make a comment about this too? I didn't even make a comment—and you even have a smile on your face!"

Gui Naifen inexplicably understood what Liu Bai was lamenting.

"Here it comes! The silk thread!"

"I'm telling you, aren't you two going a bit too far with your argument?"

Ten minutes later, Natasha fed all the Soul Reapers present a little potion.

"Ha... It's all the boss's fault for having such a wildly divergent mind."

While patting Liu Bai's back to help him catch his breath, Gui Naifen complained.

"But boss, you were really cool just now."

He'd be even more handsome if his mouth was sewn shut.

[Gui Naifen's Favorability: 4044]

"Haha... I feel like I just ran my age; the amount of exercise I've ever done in my life... ba."

Liu Bai was truly out of breath.

“It’s obvious you’ve never exercised.” Natasha could tell at a glance that Liu Bai still had plenty of energy left, but he wasn’t breathing.

To put it more bluntly, this person lost their breath.

To make such a basic mistake, one must truly be a pampered, wealthy boss.

"Nonsense, the amount of exercise I did in my life before this was a kilometer during my school days."

Liu Bai retorted unhappily.

God knew this day would come.

"I'll give you a good beating when I get the chance."

Natasha smiled as she looked at Liu Bai, who was hunched over and panting, then looked at the group of Spirit-type Death Warriors who were standing in neat rows.

[Honkai Affection Level: -99-97]

Just like last time, after the medicine was administered, in addition to the zombies who were given the medicine, the Honkai's favorability also increased.

The price increase was quite inexplicable.

"Then what should we do with them? There are forty-one in total."

"Take off the clothes, then kill him—by the way, how much of the drug did you use?"

"Eight bottles."

Natasha's main motto is to be thrifty and frugal, using as little as possible rather than more.

“There are fewer spirits than I imagined…s…” After panting for a while, Bai felt better and then gave the order to the spirit assassins to take off their clothes.

The intelligence of the Spirit-type assassins is relatively high compared to ordinary assassins, so they easily understood Liu Bai's meaning and began to take off their clothes.

"...You little rascal, you're pretty much a hooligan."

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The organs of assassins are unusable.

[Soul Summoning Ticket (One-Time Use Item) *20]

[Netherworld Assassin Summoning Ticket (One-Time Use Item) *20]

[Annihilation Summoning Ticket (One-Time Use Item) *1]

"...Why is there nothing here?"

Liu Bai was a little dumbfounded when he saw the system notification about the dropped items.

What's the meaning of you giving me summon tickets when this is supposed to be a material dungeon?

"?" Natasha gave Liu Bai a strange look when she heard this. "You've already stripped them naked, what more do you want? Let me make it clear beforehand, the organs of assassins are unusable by humans, and we don't have the technology to harvest them."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bai's lips twitched involuntarily... What a strange misunderstanding!

Wait... could it be that taking off the clothes is what caused the material to not fall off properly?

Because I have nothing left on me... wait, do we have to make this so realistic?

However, the summoning tickets... can't be said to be a loss.

Both the Fallen Spirit Assassin and the Nether Spirit Assassin are support mages with a Strength of 2, Constitution of 4, and Agility of 1.

The Fallen Spirit Assassin leans towards buffs, while the Netherworld Spirit Assassin leans towards debuff

Annihilation Spirit is an all-around mage with 3 Strength, 6 Constitution, and 1 Agility.

By the way... can the monsters from the summoning tickets have their clothes stripped off again?

Liu Bai used a summoning ticket for a Soul Reaper, and instantly a long, white leg floating in the air appeared beside him.

"Don't be nervous," Bai called out to Natasha and Gui Naifen, who were preparing to attack.

"I called it out to conduct an experiment."

Liu Bai gestured again for the Soul-Slaying Assassins to take off their clothes.

“…This kid is getting more and more of a scoundrel the more I look at him,” Natasha couldn’t help but complain.

"I can't deny it."

Although I witnessed my boss's handsome side this time, the scene of him taking off his clothes was really not handsome at all.

Or rather, his glorious image was completely ruined.

"No way."

Liu Bai took the clothes, glanced at them, and then had the Spirit Assassin put them back on.

The summoned clothing has the word "temporary" and a countdown timer before its name, so it's obviously not meant to be used—unless it's a scam.

"Give me some milk, gently."

Since he had already summoned everyone, Liu Bai decided to experiment with something else.

Then, the girl with long white legs, who had been summoned, tilted her head in confusion, and then lowered herself down to a position level with Liu Bai, supporting her chest.

"What a scoundrel!"

"What a hooligan!"

"Hey! What's it to me!"

Liu Bai angrily rebuked the two people who were making sarcastic remarks behind him, and at the same time realized his own problem.

"Cough, not milk, it's treatment, give me a little treatment, a little less pressure."

This time, the woman with the long white legs didn't hesitate. A golden magic circle appeared on the ground around her.

Liu Bai saw that a new buff had appeared in his status bar.

[Dark Energy Prayer: During the channeling of the Fallen Spirit, allied characters within the magic circle recover health equal to 1% of the Fallen Spirit's health per second. This skill can stack.]

That's a great skill.

Liu Bai's eyes lit up; there was no incompatibility caused by Honkai energy as he had imagined.

After confirming this, Liu Bai signaled to the Spirit Assassin that he could turn off his skills.

The downside of this skill is its limited growth potential; after all, 1% of the Death Knight's health isn't enough in high-level matches.

Fortunately, they can be stacked.

As for the fact that the fallen spirits cannot move during the guidance period, that's a minor issue and can be compensated for by manual manipulation.

After all, as a mage, the Spirit Elementalist has the excellent life-saving skill of Etherealization.

"Liu Bai, thank you."

After the test, Natasha suddenly said this to Liu Bai.

Bai looked completely bewildered.

Natasha now truly feels that it was Liu Bai's mercy that she was able to remain chaste.

"I feel insulted," Bai said, clearly annoyed.

but……

Forget it.

After all, Natasha was the key figure in this operation.

Without Natasha, Liu Bai really wouldn't dare to open the Soul Slayer dungeon.

"You said the lab rats made you sell them?" Mebius looked at Natasha with suspicion.

"Yes, you can see Liu Baifa's message."

"Alright, let me see... What about the Soul Reaper faction? Do they have any branches in our Sky Dome District?"

Natasha remained silent—she didn't know how Liu Bai had summoned so many Soul Reapers.

Yes, summon.

Although Natasha knew nothing, Liu Bai made a grasping motion before the Fallen Spirits appeared, which now seems to be a summoning gesture.

However, there should be some limitations, otherwise it would be too terrifying to be able to summon a group of assassins anytime, anywhere.

...Considering Liu Bai's actions of taking them around today, it might be more like "releasing something that already existed"?

The guess was so absurd that Natasha couldn't help but shake her head.

Mebius, on the other hand, was clearly just asking casually and didn't intend to delve deeper.

"Ten million...tsk, isn't this kid making money way too fast?"

Mebius seemed a little unhappy.

"..."

Natasha also fell silent.

I've never earned this much before!

Well, it would have been impossible to completely remove so many clothes before.

Materials are either complete or highly incomplete.

As for capturing assassins alive, the large-scale captures were mostly low-level fry, and it required the organization's help. Furthermore, Natasha could only carry one assassin with each arm at most—that was the ideal situation; she couldn't bring back any more.

Furthermore, resistance during the capture process can damage the integrity of the material.

It's not normal for someone like Liu Bai to encounter a group of elites and expose them all so completely.

"Alright, it's good that the lab rats are capable. I'll accept the materials and transfer the money later. Tell him that this is enough for my research, and I'll get some new ones next time."

Mebius's generosity far exceeded Natasha's expectations; he didn't even ask Liu Bai how he did it.

Is the World Serpent really its own home?

"...By the way, has the jackal woken up yet?"

After sighing, Natasha inquired about the jackals.

"She's awake, and now she looks like a melancholy, artsy young woman."

Mebius grimaced.
