"A smiling tiger, I understand."
"Right... but Miss Huang Quan's attire is a bit too revealing."
"..."
"Wouldn't people think I'm weird out there? Wearing that kind of..."
"Liu Ying."
Liu Bai pressed down on Liu Ying's shoulder, stared into her eyes, and spoke seriously.
"Yes! Is there...is there something you need?"
"Everyone has a reason for dressing this way—please don't meddle."
You can drape a coat over her; where am I supposed to find the slim waist and long legs that I lack?
...Although Xiao Guizi can also provide elements of black stockings and long legs.
But that would lead to an unbalanced diet.
"Huh? Is that so? That seems to make sense?"
Something feels off.
"That's it."
Liu Bai released Liu Ying's shoulder.
"Good night."
"Okay, okay, good night... Well, sweet dreams, Mr. Liu Bai."
Liu Ying blushed slightly and retreated back to her room.
Seeing this, Liu Bai returned to his room and took out Ye Lan's Life-Binding Silk skill book to begin learning.
Of Yelan's skill books, archery has the lowest priority for him.
Although the notion that archers are weak in melee combat has been corrected based on their bow-drawing strength, in reality, aside from those in the Moon World that are disguised as archers or are simply conceptual archers.
In other aspects, it's still true that archers are weak in melee combat.
The more specialized an archer is, the weaker they are in melee combat. In the normal world, a medieval greatsword weighs only three kilograms. Melee combat is all about slashing, hacking, and thrusting. If an archer has enough strength, the difference is not significant.
However, in the extraordinary world, a sword weighs several hundred kilograms, and a staff weighs 36,000 jin, which is within the normal range. Skill sets include combos and cleaves, and at close range, they can easily defeat an archer.
Even a strength-based archer can't make up for the skill gap; being caught in close combat is a disadvantage. Given Liu Bai's current state, being caught in close combat is the norm.
Even with the Yellow Springs by your side, accidents are still inevitable.
After all, Huang Quan might not have time to release it while it's inside the pot like a Pokémon.
As for bringing it along, that's even less reliable. It's easy to tell which is easier, bringing a person or bringing a kettle.
Furthermore, when facing the Star Core in the future, there is strength in numbers... Huang Quan had previously warned that the Destruction Legion might not necessarily come, and only then did Liu Bai realize that he had been thinking in a habitual way.
I always felt that the Star Core was bound to the Legion.
But what if... after all, this isn't the world we usually live in.
Gui Naifen and Huang Quan were both drawn by myself. If I hadn't chosen the alien starting point, I wouldn't have met Liu Ying, and there wouldn't have been any spaceship crashes.
If you're even less lucky, the companion you're with might not be a firefly.
You should know that games are most afraid of two things.
1. "The numerical values are filled in like this."
Second, "This is how the code is written."
Therefore, Liu Bai still spends time strengthening himself, which is why archer skills with weak self-defense capabilities are not given high priority.
On the contrary, Ye Lan's act of attaching a tracker to this life-destroying silk thread fully demonstrated the flexible use of this skill.
This is a third hand, and the kind that's skilled at everything from sneaking in to picking locks.
Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, could it be that Ye Lan usually uses the Life-Binding Silk like this?
Liu Bai felt that given Ye Lan's personality, this was probably how she would use it; combat was likely the least important aspect of the Life Silk.
"...By the way, did my blanket smell nice before?"
Liu Bai turned over.
Something feels off.
Maybe I was too tired yesterday and overlooked this point?
The faint fragrance on the quilt seemed quite novel to Liu Bai, but she didn't pay it much attention.
sleep.
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.
The next day.
Just like yesterday, after a quick breakfast, Liu Bai began his sparring session with Huang Quan.
However, today's sparring session did not last long.
"95%... That's all for now."
Huang Quan carefully put away the wooden sword.
"You're already quite skilled at it; if I increase the intensity, you'll get injured."
If the speed and power continue to increase, then Liu Bai will not be able to withstand it.
"Remember this force and speed; this is the limit of your current parrying ability—if the opponent exceeds this limit, let me handle it, or run away immediately."
"I understand. What about swordsmanship practice?"
"Do you need it?" Huang Quan asked in return.
"..."
It seems so.
Knowing how to parry and execute is enough; making a name for oneself in swordsmanship is not something that can be achieved overnight.
"Mr. Liu Bai, please wipe your sweat."
Firefly warmly offered a hot towel.
...The fireflies are having a great time today.
She's had a smile on her face ever since I saw her this morning.
"Thank you."
Although I don't know why Firefly is happy, who cares?
We can't expect people to be suspicious and interrogate us just because they're in a good mood, can we?
There's no reason why you might feel good.
Gui Naifen: "..."
Although this heartwarming scene is touching, Gui Naifen is starting to hesitate about whether to tell her boss something.
For example, today Liuying changed the quilt again, and this time she also brought a pillow.
—Is it inconvenient for you to suck on the blanket?
Perhaps because of the agreement made yesterday, Firefly didn't do anything to her, the eyewitness, this time.
In short, although Liuying usually acts like an innocent little sister, in secret... she has already reached a point where Gui Naifen feels uneasy.
If this continues, won't our boss really lose something important?
...Never mind, she'll pray for Liu Bai.
Anyway, even from Gui Naifen's perspective, Liu Ying doesn't seem to have any other problems besides being a little perverted in secret.
Furthermore, since arriving on this planet, Firefly has spent most of her time "alone in an empty room," and she's become a little bit abnormal... Can you really understand that?
It's only been a week, right?
"Let's go, Xiao Guizi, go out... Liu Ying, Huang Quan, you two should get along well at home."
"understood."
"Please rest assured, Mr. Liu Bai~"
Huang Quan and Liu Ying both agreed—to be honest, the two of them didn't seem like the type to have a conflict.
"Can we go out today?"
Gui Naifen stretched.
"It's okay." Bai confirmed that Natasha's favorability rating had returned to the normal 35. Fortunately, Natasha hadn't drunk much yesterday, and the effects of the drug would have worn off in one night.
"Then you can go out first. I'll pack my things. I'll modify the remaining firecrackers and put them in the house in the next couple of days."
"Okay, I'll go out first."
Liu Bai nodded and immediately left the world inside the pot.
Puff-!
"what--!"
The moment he stepped out, Liu Bai felt his footing slip and heard a cry of pain from beneath his feet.
Fortunately, Liu Bai was not an ordinary person in terms of physical fitness, and he regained his balance after swaying a couple of times.
The bed is right in front of me.
Well, if he hadn't been able to keep his balance, he probably would have fallen headfirst.
...This is an unexpected event that even the Yellow Springs couldn't prevent.
Liu Baiji said that the most bizarre way someone could die was by being hit by a giant tortoise that fell from the sky... (He had previously read an article, "Six Talks About the World")
Well, even if you fall off the bed, you probably won't die unless you're extremely unlucky.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
“…Sister?” Bai turned his head and saw Natasha crying out in pain, with Chen Ge Hu being held in Natasha’s arms.
"Ah... Liu Bai, good morning."
Although she was wearing that dark combat suit, Natasha looked like she had just woken up.
Looking around again, Natasha's bedroom... no, this seems to be her own bedroom, now a complete mess, with inexplicable dents on the headboard and bedside table... could it have been smashed by a kettle?
What impressions do you have of this room?
Liu Bai pointed to the room and asked Natasha.
"Room? Huh?" Natasha was a little confused, but she immediately came to her senses when she saw the messy room.
The scenes from last night after get off work immediately flashed through Natasha's mind.
Yesterday, I couldn't get Liu Bai to come out no matter how I called him, and he wouldn't reply to my messages even though they were read. So much so that I...
Thankfully, I sent Xiao Kong away yesterday morning.
"...Perhaps a thief broke into the house."
Upon hearing this, Liu Bai raised an eyebrow. It was truly astonishing that this person could lie without batting an eye.
"And this dent?" Bai pointed to the dent at the head of the bed.
"Has it been in disrepair for years?"
Natasha's expression remained calm.
We absolutely cannot show weakness; if we do, we've already lost.
"Then why are you in my room?"
"...because I need to protect your Dust Song Pot."
Nata/Sa naturally showed the dust and song pot of Lingweierliwo to Liubabai. Scar
