“Yes.” Himeko nodded. “Their original plan was to rebuild the shrine while slowly trying to contact you—after all, to be honest, you’re being watched by both families now, and after what happened last time, it’s really impossible for them to kidnap you in a big way.”

The battle between Destiny and World Serpent is currently centered around Liu Bai.

Entropy is no small fry either. After their last entry, not to mention others, Rita's side has already become wary.

Well, after all, the conflict between destiny and anti-entropy is much greater than the conflict between destiny and the World Serpent.

Furthermore, it was Destiny that recovered the spacecraft wreckage—even disregarding past conflicts, this alone was enough for Anti-Entropy and Destiny to fight.

Putting aside everything else, at least regarding the matter of aircraft, several of our family's PhDs have expressed interest.

"Then I should thank you, right?"

"I should thank you for showing mercy last time." Himeko pouted. "But no matter what, you'd better be prepared to take action. Although their current strategy doesn't involve force, who can say for sure that evil might lead to recklessness? A single thought can lead to two different outcomes... Moreover, once negotiations begin, there's always the possibility of them falling apart."

Liu Bai expressed his understanding.

It's all too common for verbal sparring to build up anger.

"Let me make this clear first: if your negotiations break down, I will definitely side with Inazuma. My personal reminders now won't affect my overall stance."

"Don't worry, Professor Himeko... Could you please lead the way?"

"Come with me." Himeko shook her head helplessly and beckoned Liu Bai to follow.

It has to be said that the shrines in the Sky Dome area have truly declined.

They no longer have a decent storefront; they live in a cramped courtyard at the end of an old, dilapidated alley.

The yard is barely considered relatively large.

"Welcome, are you here to pay respects... Hey? Was that the older brother from before?"

Unexpectedly, standing in the courtyard was Seele, dressed in a red and white shrine maiden outfit.

Moreover, this shrine maiden outfit seems to be the same one worn by Yae no Miko, showing off her armpits and side boobs...

That's just too good to be true.

"Good afternoon, Xi'er."

"Ah! Um, good afternoon." Xi'er greeted Liu Bai like a startled little rabbit.

Seele's Affection Level: 3033

My favorability rating increased slightly for no apparent reason.

"Why did you come here, big brother? This place..."

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Everyone was urging themselves to leave quickly... Is this a case of good deeds leading to good results?

"By the way, can I pray to a god?"

Liu Bai pointed to Ling Meng: In the middle of the courtyard was a shrine, inside which were placed three wooden female deities with small arms and a height of O.

) Three

"That...of course."

Liu Bai nodded and approached the shrine. There was even a convenient QR code for payment at the bottom of the shrine…

[Thor Statue - True]

[Blessings that can be requested: increased luck, increased affinity occurrence rate, marriage blessing, healing, life restoration...]

[Special Feature: Forming a Bond]

Wow... that's really not easy. This idol management is way too broad. It even allows you to directly select rare original blessings.

Yes, I'm talking about "increased affinity occurrence rate" and "marriage blessing".

The former makes it easier to trigger favorability options when interacting with others in the game.

The latter increases the probability of meeting someone within a day, and slightly increases favorability if no one is met.

Scan code.

The prices range from 50 cents to 10,000 yuan, with several tiers.

Liu Bai closed his eyes and chose 10,000, then prayed for a "blessing of marriage."

Please select the target of your prayer.

Of course, it's Raiden Shin.

If lightning really does come, the problem will be solved... well, although the possibility is extremely low.

But I'm just idling around anyway, it's only 10,000 yuan.

Close your eyes and bow.

[Complete the prayer, and the chance of encountering Raiden Shin will increase by 50% for 24 hours.]

[Due to spending, Inazuma's favorability rating is:]

Yeah, the probability of that being bullshit.

It looks great, but this thing is multiplied on the basis.

If the base encounter probability is 1%, then it's now 1.5%...

Generally speaking, if you live in the same city and know each other, the chances of meeting are not too low. If you increase the chances by 50%, you can basically wait to meet. But in cases like this, where you live in different cities and don't know each other... it's all about gambling on probability.

Did he say anything about Mijia's 0.6% shipment rate?

Life goes on like this, doesn't it?

But then again... wouldn't what I'm doing be considered blasphemy?

Liu Bai suddenly remembered that this statue was indeed the real thunderbolt...

Then I chose Raiden Shin in the marriage blessing...

Hmm... This has a kind of beauty to it, like King Zhou writing a poem at Nuwa's Palace.

Should I pray for another blessing to cover this one up? After all, only one blessing can exist at a time...

Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway. Even if there's divine retribution, it won't be able to defeat the Yellow Springs.

If you try to get some crazy values, it will retract back into the pot; anyway, that's how the pot's code is written...

After deciding to open the stall, Liu Bai looked at the special function: Bond Formation.

This is a new addition.

[You can form a bond with someone of the opposite sex who has a genuine affinity level of 100 or higher.]

After forming a bond, the other player's three attributes all increase by 1 (ignoring caps), a special assistance skill is unlocked, and the player receives a high-quality random permanent blessing and random rewards.

[Note: One at a time.]

Hey! This sounds really bad, doesn't it?

It's one thing if it's in a game.

Are you sure that if I bring a third girl here in real life, the first two girls won't come and tear me apart after they find out?

But the thing is... the rewards for this thing are really generous.

Ignore all caps, all three stats +1, special skills, high-quality permanent blessings...

You're tempting me into walking down the path to the end with the hatchet, aren't you?

Liu Bai has already thought of a title: "Days in a Mod".

Grass!

Oh well, no one has reached 100% affection level with me yet, so I'll just leave it at that for now.

Liu Bai took a deep breath, looked away, and then suddenly heard something, reaching out to touch the statue.

【Thor Statue - Real (Furniture/Decoration)】

[Can be used as a statue. When carried as an accessory, it greatly increases Honkai resistance and reduces damage by 10%. When receiving fatal damage, it grants immunity to all damage for three seconds and performs a powerful lightning counterattack before the statue is destroyed.]

Can you guess who made this statue?

As expected, the statue itself is a top-tier piece of equipment, and it even has a one-time life-saving skill.

As for the final little hint... okay, okay, I know Raiden Shin made it himself, alright?

Liu Bai withdrew his hand, thankfully avoiding the melodramatic scenario of him accidentally bumping into the statue while touching it.

It's great that NPCs don't teleport during story events.

"...Don't let anyone else see you doing this."

Himeko patted Liu Bai.

Well, someone did see it, but it was nothing serious for either of them.

"Inazuma is very devout to the gods... but I can understand, isn't Raiden-sama really beautiful? So beautiful that it makes one wonder why such a great beauty would be called a shogun."

Liu Bai glanced at the statues. Indeed, these wooden statues were not the same as the ones in the game that served as teleportation points and could only be identified by a few distinctive features.

It's more like a figurine mascot branded with the name of a deity... well, the kind that Kujo Sara would fight over in the game's storyline.

For example, the statue in front of us is a beautiful woman with a long sword at her side, sitting upright on a futon, with a gentle smile on her face.

However, in the game's storyline, the statue of [Mitsuken no Kami Oshin-sho-sama] that Kujo Sara likes is depicted sitting upright with both hands holding a sword, while the wooden statue in front of her does not hold a sword.

"Hmm...maybe I can start looking forward to a hero rescuing a damsel in distress plot?"

"You're really boastful—if you said that to someone else, the negotiations would probably fall apart immediately."

Don't you think that being loyal to one's desires is also a reliable trait?

"Heh, anyway, I'm not the one who'll get beaten up if the talks fall apart." Himeko said, whatever makes you happy.

I've said everything I need to say. If you want to walk into the line of fire, then go ahead.

"Let's go upstairs and take a look. Since Seele was pulled over to fill in, there might not be anyone home right now?"

Although Yae no Miko's personality can sometimes give people a sense of unreliability, she can still be trusted when it comes to shrines.

If there were someone in the family, they wouldn't have let someone like Seele, who knows nothing, fill in for them—frankly speaking, she would probably be more reliable than Seele to fill in for them.

After all, Himeko grew up in the Far East...

"...Sara-nee and Yae-nee went out shopping."

Seele answered Himeko's question.

"But they've been gone for almost an hour... they should be back soon, right?"

"Oh, then it might take another two or three hours. Shenzi doesn't go shopping that fast."

Himeko had a knowing look on her face.

"Should I call them back? Or can you come back in a couple of days?"

"Of course we should press on and call them back in one go."

"Okay, I'll make a call."

------

"...Why are the lackeys of Destiny here?"

"I also want to ask what the Inazuma General and Lady Miko are doing here."

Inside the chamber of commerce, Rita casually selected men's suits, completely ignoring the three people behind her.

"Want to fight here? If so... although I'm not really keen on fighting, I'm always ready."

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Bai Pingsheng was not fond of fighting, but rather of resolving conflicts!

What bad luck...

Besides that word, Rita had absolutely no idea how to describe the current situation.

Having just recovered from what happened a few days ago and given my teammates a lecture, I was preparing to buy Liu Bai a gift to thank him in person... and then I unexpectedly ran into Inazuma's people? Apart from one I didn't recognize, the other two were Inazuma's top-tier combatants.

Am I having a run of bad luck these past few days...?
