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

"Don't worry about it, just do it."

Liu Bai placed his hand on the flower bud, which was nine-tenths similar to the simulated calyx, and the flower bud instantly bloomed.

In Gui Naifen's eyes, Liu Bai merely made a fist in mid-air.

"……Snow?"

Gui Naifen stared blankly at the snowflakes hitting her face.

Da da……

Two footsteps echoed from the alley, and then two girls with skin as white as snow, expressionless faces, and a hint of bloodlust in their eyes, emerged from the shadows, each wielding a life-sized scythe.

"Boss! What is this?!" Gui Naifen shuddered instinctively when she saw the look in the eyes of the two girls.

That's the look in the eyes of a monster that only knows how to kill.

"Just think of them as the demonic entities on the celestial ship!"

"Oh...oh—good morning...no! Demonic Yin Body is even worse!"

Gui Naifen hurriedly pulled out the medicine that Liu Bai had given her.

"Which one should I throw?"

"Take out whichever one you want and throw it away!"

"okay!"

Gui Naifen took a deep breath, her expression instantly calming down from panic.

"Go away!"

As a juggling performer, Gui Naifen's short-distance throwing ability may be stronger than some professionals.

Two gray, failed potions traced a clever arc, bypassing the assassin's scythe, and struck the girl squarely on the head.

[Frost Scythe 1's affinity has increased by 200 due to the failed potion; current affinity: 100]

[Frost Scythe 2's affinity has increased by 200 due to the failed potion; current affinity: 100]

The girl, who had been exuding a chilling murderous aura, suddenly stopped in her tracks.

The two girls' blood-red pupils stared at Liu Bai at the same time. Just as Gui Naifen thought to herself that something was wrong, she saw two pink hearts gradually appear in the blood-red pupils of these two monster girls.

"……what?"

You have successfully identified a medicine.

[The Elixir of Love - Energy Enhancement]

You have unlocked the Appraisal skill. Current Appraisal skill level: 1

"Ah...ah..."

As undead infected by the Honkai, the Frost Scythe had long lost the ability to speak, but that did not stop them from walking toward Liu Bai while murmuring and looking at him with hearts in their eyes.

"This...they're not planning to fight anymore?"

Looking at the hearts in the eyes of the two girl monsters in front of her, Gui Naifen felt that something seemed off.

Suddenly, it felt like I was on a celestial ship, witnessing a celestial being and a demon in love.

No, this smell is too weird. What on earth did I throw out?

"Um... Boss, I'm here for you."

"I know."

Everything... is still being calculated... right?

Chapter Nine: This is the Unorthodox Way to Make Money

【Love Elixir - Energy Enhancement (Medicine)】

[After using the V skill, the character will significantly increase the player's favorability towards the player for a certain period of time. If the favorability is low, the favorability will return to its original value and may drop drastically after the duration ends. If the favorability is high, it will likely be retained. The increase and duration depend on intelligence and willpower.]

This medicine also has an energy-boosting effect; after taking it, a large amount of energy is immediately restored, and the energy recovery rate is greatly accelerated within ten hours.

In most games, there is one unit that stands out from the other characters.

—That's right, those are the players.

Beyond the boundaries of the Three Qi: not within the Five Elements, the best form of feeding for leeks is to keep them outside the Five Elements.

踆`

That's why this medicine became a "failed medicine".

Because this potion is meant to be applied to the player!

Even if Gui Naifen were to throw it, in the end, these two assassins would still fall in love with Liu Bai.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Liu Bai's special status as a player no longer exists. In this matter, it makes no difference whether the final target is Gui Naifen or Liu Bai.

However, normal people would not normally use this drug on assassins.

Liu Bai had previously thought that assassins were quite handsome... which is why he tried using them on assassins.

Well, after all, it would be a shame not to try out a miniskirt and those long, white legs.

And unsurprisingly, it succeeded.

As beings similar to zombies, the assassins possess a certain level of intelligence and are capable of obeying commands—but this intelligence may not necessarily be higher than that of pack animals such as dogs and wolves.

Willpower... well, let's not even talk about willpower. What's there to talk about with zombies?

Even if only a few drops splash into the mouth from throwing, it can be controlled for more than ten minutes.

"Ah...ah..."

Two icy scythes came closer and nuzzled Liu Bai.

[Frostscythe 1 has become a companion]

[Frostscythe 2 has become a companion]

[Unlock Honkai Force Affinity]

[Current Affection Level -100 -99 (Never Give Up)]

"what?"

Liu Bai was taken aback when he saw the pop-up notification.

Why is there a Honkai Affection Level indicator? This wasn't a notification before!

Is this a new condition for joining the Honkai faction?

Joining the Honkai faction normally isn't difficult; you just need to get infected, and then the gameplay becomes like a zombie mode in a shooting game.

Normally speaking... if the Honkai faction's favorability rating is too high... it seems like they might become a Herrscher?

However, I haven't joined the Honkai faction yet—but it seems like Herrschers are born into the Honkai faction!

Well... there's nothing to fuss about. Anyway, more goodwill means more opportunities.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Bai's face.

"Can I have this?"

Liu Bai pointed to the large scythe in the hand of the Frost Scythe.

The assassin girl tilted her head, seemingly deep in thought.

Liu Bai pointed again, then made a grasping motion.

"Ah! Ah!"

The two female assassins understood immediately and handed the chilling scythes in their hands to Liu Bai without complaint.

【Ice Scythe (Weapon/Material)】

The weapon wielded by the advanced mutant assassin 'Frost Scythe' continuously emits a chilling aura; even fragments are extremely valuable items, and the complete scythe is of immeasurable value.

The game price starts at 500,000.

That's right, this is Liu Bai's unorthodox way of making money!

Then Liu Bai pointed to their clothes and pretended to take off his own clothes.

What are you doing?!

Seeing this, Gui Naifen blushed and tapped Liu Bai on the head with the drumsticks tucked into her waistband.

Even if they turned into monsters, they were still—

"The clothes they're wearing cost 300,000."

"..."

Gui Naifen wanted to criticize Liu Bai, saying that money isn't everything and that businessmen should have morals.

But... 300,000!

Gui Naifen had seen it on a vending machine before, and it was mainly for food purchases. The currency here was even stronger than credit points.

Gui Naifen thought for a moment, what if someone offered 300,000 credits to buy the outfit she was wearing...

...Of course we'll sell! Wouldn't it be stupid not to?

"But no matter what, we can't let a girl—or at least a monster that looks like a girl—take off her clothes in front of us!"

“Ah! Ah!”

The two female assassins made threatening gestures towards Gui Naifen—if the scythe hadn't been in Liu Bai's hands, the two female assassins might have already attacked.

"Wow!" Gui Naifen was also startled. "Okay... I know it's a bit strange for men and women to care about monsters..."

"It's alright, it just means your mindset is still quite ordinary." Bai comforted Gui Naifen, then continued to feign exhaustion towards the assassin girl.

Before long, the two female assassins understood and began to take off their clothes.

Gui Naifen: "..."

Although she had hung out with the guys on the street since she moved to Luofu, those were all very normal hangouts. She never saw another guy looking at another guy's naked body!

Rather, it's more accurate to say that she maintained a very good balance in her interactions with others!

Gui Naifen silently turned around.

Being thick-skinned as an entertainer is different from being thick-skinned as a young, unmarried woman.

【Frostbite Assassin Outfit (Armor/Materials)】

[A tough garment constructed from Honkai energy of the ice attribute, extremely resistant to cold but not to heat, making it quite rare.]

[Underwear that exudes a chill]

Although it uses little fabric, it is stronger and more resilient than the assassin's suit in terms of icy power, and as close-fitting clothing, it has no odor. Of course, due to its limited coverage, it offers almost no defensive capabilities. Also, it is not recommended for women to wear.

"What did you take?!"

Gui Naifen covered her eyes and turned around, and through the gaps between her fingers she saw what Liu Bai was holding that made her even more embarrassed.

"...I don't know why such a thing still exists."

Liu Bai was also slightly puzzled, as the normal material drops would stop once it reached the assassin's outfit.

"But the assassins' underwear is actually a bikini... cough, alright, just think of them as things that fell off the demonic bodies, isn't that fine?"

"I...I'll try my best."

After hearing this, Gui Naifen thought about it and realized it made sense. If there were a demonic spirit or a bountiful person naked in front of her, would she really be shy?

They'd definitely hit him with a stick!

—But a normal person wouldn't think of stripping the bountiful people or the demon's body naked!

"Ah, boss, behind."

"Behind?" Bai's expression changed upon hearing Gui Naifen's reminder.

Could the effects of the medicine have worn off so quickly?

This can't be! It hasn't even been ten minutes yet!
