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

"Get me something to eat, thanks."

Natasha looked completely drained.

“Our lord…sometimes he’s just like a child.”

“You should say this in front of the Lord.”

"Are you crazy or am I?"

"I don't need to work overtime, you're obviously crazy."

Liu Bai cracked two eggs into the pan, and they were fried in a few minutes. He then poured soy sauce over them and served a bowl of rice to Natasha.

"So, what are you working overtime for? To go out and fight?"

"It would be better if we were fighting." Natasha sighed and began to shovel rice into her mouth without any semblance of a mature woman.

If it's a fight, she can handle not just one night, but a whole week of non-stop work.

Murder and arson are his old professions.

"The Lord suddenly had a brain fart and asked me and Gray Snake to make a job posting for her. Then Gray Snake and I spent the whole night fiddling with the computer and produced twelve versions, which we barely passed... What kind of twelve trials is this?"

"...I'm saying, Shencheng Pharmaceuticals should have an advertising department, right?"

Liu Bai's expression was slightly strange.

“Nobody works overtime.” Natasha’s words shut Liu Bai up.

Okay, so if that's the case, Natasha really is just plain miserable.

"Ha... By the way, did anyone come to our house yesterday?"

After finishing her meal, Natasha wiped her mouth with a tissue and then glanced at the living room.

"Xiao Guizi is trying to find tenants for the apartment. She entertained some guests yesterday, but unfortunately, nothing came of it," Bai said calmly, lying. "By the way, the money arrived last night. Want some?"

"...?"

"Why do you look so confused?" Bai looked at Natasha speechlessly. "Isn't this a private operation? You put in a lot of effort, so isn't it normal for you to share the rewards?"

You know what... it actually makes sense.

Natasha subconsciously assumed this was the job of a "guinea pig breeder".

"Give me your bank card number, I'll transfer two million to you."

Liu Bai immediately gave away one-fifth of his share, after all, Natasha was his current key player.

[Natasha's favorability: 3035]

"Remember to call me next time you need this kind of work."

Upon hearing "two million," Natasha's eyes lit up, and the drowsiness on her face vanished almost instantly.

She never imagined that making money could be so easy.

What did she do yesterday?

It's like rushing up to someone's face and force-feeding them medicine.

The first few encounters were somewhat dangerous, but Mio and Eizaki found it much easier afterward—(—Yoshiro) In short, the assassins of Shenling Temple helped her hold down her compatriots.

Natasha even had a number of ideas flash through her mind.

For example, we could capture Honkai Beasts and assassins in Liu Bai's name and hand them over. We might be able to make some extra money, and then give Liu Bai a share of the naming fee later. Wouldn't that be great?

She earned a little more, while Liu Bai just lay around and made money—a win-win situation.

"By the way, how's your relationship with Ye Lan?"

"Night Orchid? So-so, I guess. We had some business dealings before... Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

"I ordered some things, and they should be delivered this afternoon. Xiao Gui and I went out at noon and might not be back. Could you please sign for them?"

The main purpose was to provide Gui Ling and Meng Fen with the most advanced air-broadcast equipment, and Liu Bai directly brought over some of the most top-of-the-line furniture that Liu Bai felt was useful.

"Just kidding. Ye Lan is at least the temporary person in charge here. Do you really think she would personally... Well, if it were Ye Lan, she might actually deliver the packages herself."

Natasha knew that Yelan was also a person who liked to join in the fun, and right now the biggest excitement in the Sky Dome District was this guy in front of her who acted like nothing was wrong.

"Okay, I'll take care of this. Be careful when you go out."

Although they hadn't known each other for long, Natasha could tell that Liu Bai was a rather cautious person, and since he hadn't asked her to participate in any dangerous activities, it was probably because he wasn't.

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.

Good afternoon. I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long?

At noon, Liu Bai took Gui Naifen to the family restaurant, where Eden was already seated at the reserved table.

"I haven't been here long either." Eden smiled and shook his head as he saw Liu Bai and Gui Naifen take their seats.

It's 11:50 now, which is a perfect time for a guest.

"However... it seems we should move to another place."

Eden looked around helplessly.

As a top-tier beauty, her presence here is undeniably eye-catching.

Almost everyone in the restaurant had their eyes on Eden, discussing whether this beautiful woman was a big star from somewhere.

“I thought so too.” Bai immediately understood Eden’s current predicament. “Then, Miss Eden, would you please lead the way?”

"Of course, by the way, since that's the case, let's all order a dessert. It's on me. I invited you two here, so I can't let you come all this way empty-handed."

Liu Bai and Gui Naifen didn't stand on ceremony. After each ordering a cup of milk tea, they followed Eden out of the restaurant and arrived at a secluded hotel located in a dirty and messy alley.

"...Miss Eden, you live here?" Gui Naifen stared in astonishment at the somewhat dirty and messy environment.

It wasn't that she was uncomfortable; on the contrary, Gui Naifen felt a sense of familiarity with this place. However, she simply couldn't imagine that an elegant woman like Eden would live here.

"Yes, we'll stay here. After all, I'm just an unemployed person looking for a job right now." Dian greeted the landlady on duty and led the two into the room.

The interior of the room is completely different from the impression given by the street outside.

Small and tidy, even just by looking at the furnishings, you can tell that the person living here is a respectable person.

"To be honest, if I can't find a job soon, I'll have to go home."

"Go home and inherit a billion-dollar fortune?" Gui Naifen said, expressing her intuitive impression of Eden.

“My family is just a musical family, so we don’t have to worry about food and clothing. If I really had a fortune of hundreds of millions, I wouldn’t be looking for a job.”

Eden was amused by Gui Naifen.

"By the way, Mr. Liu Bai, you haven't said a word since earlier. Are you not used to being here?"

“…I was wondering, Miss Eden, are you really that short of money?” Bai looked around and had a bold idea.

Upon hearing this, Eden's expression turned slightly cold, but he still answered, "...To be frank, Mr. Liu Bai, what are you trying to say?"

If it weren't for the fact that Eden had a very good impression of Liu Bai so far, he would have already told him to leave.

Generally speaking, once she starts with this kind of talk, she doesn't need to think about what to say next.

Eden has seen plenty of those who like to take advantage of weaknesses.

"What is your monthly rent here?"

"?" Bai's question clearly stunned Eden for a moment. "...I don't plan to stay long-term at the moment. I'll still work daily, eighty a day."

"My sister has an apartment for rent, around 100 square meters, 2,000 yuan a month, utilities included. Want to consider it?"

"Hey boss, it's really suspicious that you're saying these things to such a beautiful woman you've only met twice! I'm calling the police on behalf of Miss Eden!"

Chapter 42 What did the two-dimensional paper do to you!

Upon hearing Gui Naifen's complaint, Eden's slightly cold expression suddenly melted, and he continued along with Gui Naifen's words: "It is indeed very suspicious—I'd appreciate it if Miss Gui Naifen could call the police."

"Okay, okay, I know it sounds a bit like I'm being horny when I suddenly say this—you have to consider that I'm a normal man too."

Liu Bai realized that he had spoken a bit abruptly and began to ease the atmosphere.

"Well, while it might seem a bit like a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, it's actually... kind of an investment, isn't it?"

"invest?"

Eden suddenly became interested.

"Are you so sure? Because of my face?"

Eden knew very well what made him most attractive to ordinary people.

“I admit that’s one of the reasons—Miss Egg Eden, you didn’t lose your job because of your singing skills, did you?”

"I told you when we first met that I'm still unemployed because I hate those contracts that tie people down... Of course, I've also offended a lot of seniors in the industry because I'm too unconventional."

Eden spoke casually, but anyone could hear the resentment in his voice.

In times without heroes, even petty scoundrels can rise to fame!

Although it may sound arrogant, Eden was absolutely confident that she could crush all those "seniors" in a duet on a big stage!

The problem is that there is no opportunity; the resource gap between the two sides is too large.

She didn't even get a chance to perform... Even if someone did take notice of her, they only cared about her physical appearance; nobody cared how well she sang.

"Hmm...is this what they call youthful exuberance?"

Gui Naifen nodded in understanding.

"So, Miss Eden, that's why you're trying to get into traditional performing arts?"

"Well, as you can see, I don't seem to have much talent. I accept the criticism from the head of the Yunhan Society."

Eden readily admitted that he had no talent in this area, and looked at Liu Bai again.

"So, Mr. Liu Bai, you mean you can provide me with a platform? Why should I trust you? I've offended quite a few industry veterans."

Ultimately, the two had only met twice and knew nothing about each other.

She talked a lot about herself, but she still knew nothing about Liu Bai.

But the fact that Eden was even able to ask this question meant that he was already interested.

Her interest in traditional performing arts can only be described as curiosity, an attempt made out of necessity. As for her passion, Eden's love is undoubtedly for the classical music that has accompanied her since childhood.

"Hmm... then give me a list? Maybe the list of industry veterans will change in less than a month."

"..." Dian fell silent. "Are you... joking?"

The topic was so dangerous that she didn't know whether she should accept it or not.

"Obviously a joke."

Liu Bai nodded—half of it was a joke.

Anyway, as long as she gets paid, Natasha definitely won't mind getting her hands dirty.

"Okay, let's get to the point—Why do you insist on using the stage of X Gathering under the spotlight as the starting point, Eden Little Enterprise Sister?"

“…What do you mean?” Dian said with a slightly serious expression. “Let me make it clear beforehand that if it’s street singing, I’ve tried it, and it’s very easy to get harassed—although that should be my own problem.”

"Do not……"

"I understand! It's a live stream!" The live stream expert (Xiao Gui Ba Zi Yi) next to Lin responded, and Liu Bai'ou wanted to say something.

"Live streaming...I think I've heard of it."

Eden wore a thoughtful expression.

"But it seems like it doesn't have a very good reputation?"

"Is this some kind of outdated thinking?" Gui Naifen stood up without hesitation to defend the reputation of the live stream.

"Is this your reason for doing an unconventional live stream of yourself eating noodles upside down?" Bai quipped.

"It's much more fun than biting a lighter, right?" Gui Naifen said proudly, hands on her hips. "Besides eating noodles upside down, I can also break rocks on my chest!"

"...No, let's skip this kind of live stream."

Eden imagined himself breaking a boulder on his chest.

...Won't I be crushed by the boulder?
