Mebius gave Liu Bai no room to bargain—even though the price was already higher than Liu Bai's expectations.
[Mebius's favorability rating: 15]
[World Snake's Favorability: 15]
The advantage of a one-man rule is that the faction's favorability is only linked to the leader's favorability.
"Oh, by the way, let me have my blood drawn before I leave."

Liu Bai and Gui Naifen had no interest in wandering around the World Snake and went straight back to their little nest, Chen Ge Hu.
Yes, Liu Bai skipped the pot spirit as usual.
Upon entering, they were greeted by the girl's radiant smile.
"Mr. Liu Bai, Ms. Gui Naifen, welcome back~"
Good evening, firefly.
"Looks like you've recovered quite well, Miss Firefly!"
"It's alright..." Liu Ying scratched her face a little shyly, "You two didn't do anything dangerous, did you?"
"Hmm... does the boss almost losing his virginity count?" Gui Naifen asked cheerfully.
Snapped.
Liu Bai grabbed a bottle of mineral water and smacked Gui Naifen on the back of the head.
"Eh? Chastity?"
Liu Ying blushed instantly, and the image of Liu Bai, dressed in a bikini, dancing on stage surrounded by a group of plump, wealthy women flashed through her mind.
"Mr. Liu, how could you sacrifice so much for me..."
"...I guess what you're thinking is definitely not the same thing I'm doing."
Liu Bai covered his face, then hit Gui Naifen with a mineral water bottle.
"Okay, okay, just kidding. How could the boss do something weird?"
Gui Naifen raised her hands in surrender.
"But today I really realized that some people can make money anywhere, no matter where they are—Boss, when we get out of here, I'm going to turn what happened on this planet into a song. I've already thought of a name for it: 'Little Gui's Misfortune'!"
"And me?"
"Of course you are the savior who rescued the protagonist, Xiao Guizi, from dire straits!"
"That's enough, isn't it?"
Liu Bai poked Gui Naifen's head with the bottle.
"What about me? What about me?" Liu Ying seemed to have become interested in Gui Naifen's words as well.
"Hmm... let me think... Miss Firefly, you..."
Liu Bai went outside while Gui Naifen was trying to liven things up.
"Master, welcome..."
The spirit of the pot spoke as usual, but suddenly stopped halfway through.
Pot Spirit: "..."
Liu Bai: "..."
One person and one pot stared at each other, listening to the sound of the waterfall.
"Go ahead and say it," Bai said, looking completely bewildered.
"You're not skipping it this time..."
The spirit of the pot shook its plump body with a gloomy expression.
But soon, the spirit of the pot adjusted its state.
“Coughing Lingqi$’, stop the master crying people delete the slippery chunjiu<", welcome umbrella bells and pomegranates you use Is;X use a Qiqi dust (song n three pots, Ling) I nine is like a neighbor you group together. Butler pot spirit~——house”
爸
"skip"
"..."
Hu Ling was taken aback, and her eyes were filled with grievance as she looked at Liu Bai.
How could you be like this!
"I want to buy something."
"...This is the list."
With great effort, the spirit of the pot pulled a booklet out of the pot.
"Three sets of ordinary bedding, two wooden screens, here you go, seven hundred."
Of the previous five thousand, Liu Bai still had nine hundred and fifty left. He planned to use this money to fill in some things on the house—once Möbius's money arrived tomorrow, Liu Bai could start a major renovation of the house.
"Thank you for your patronage."
After collecting the money, Hu Ling handed Liu Bai five small building blocks and then, as usual, inserted an advertisement.
"If you wish to commission custom furniture, please visit Lady Xianyunxian of the Liyue Merchant Guild."
"understood."
Liu Bai responded politely, then returned to his room and unfolded the block-shaped bedding and screen in his hands.
"Oh, there's a bed now." Gui Naifen looked at the screen and bedding that Liu Bai had arranged and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
She had actually been thinking about this for a long time, but it was just not a good question to ask, and she hadn't found the opportunity to ask.
“Let’s make do for the night. We’ll have money tomorrow and we can renovate this little thatched hut.”

"The Honkai activity in the Sky Zone was already becoming more and more frequent, and now there are visitors from outer space..."
In an ordinary hotel, Rita, dressed in a maid outfit, turned to look at the white-haired loli beside her.
"Vice Dean Theresa, what's your opinion?"
Chapter Twelve: Keep an eye on that brat Kiana!
"That's a matter for your headquarters."
Listening to Li Qunta's emotional chatter, De Lisa responded with a blank expression, "Although Li Qunta looked at De Lisa's small face with a scar, her smile seemed to deepen."
“You can’t say that.” Rita, who was a lolicon, admired Theresa’s earnest little face, but she couldn’t forget the important matter. “No one knows what extraterrestrial visitors will bring. Bacteria? Diseases? Or even a catastrophe like the collapse of the world? Our world can’t afford to be disturbed.”
"Oh? Why do I feel like Grandpa really likes to stir things up?"
“His Excellency the Bishop has his own reasons. If Lady Theresa has any doubts, she may wish to ask His Excellency the Bishop directly.”
Rita's answer was a flawless attempt to shift the blame.
The core idea is just one thing—
Why don't you dare to fight the bishop?
"..."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Theresa lost her temper.
Rita pressed her advantage: "Speaking of which, Lady Theresa, what brings you here today?"
"Who else could it be for? Kiana, your captain's good sister."
"Oh? Miss Kiana has gone missing?" Rita immediately thought of World Serpent.
"Oh, no."
Teresa shook her head.
"That brat smashed the Liyue Merchant Guild's treasures while on a mission, and she's working to pay it back now."
"...Not reimbursed?" Rita was clearly taken aback.
"A warehouse full of antiques and calligraphy, with a preliminary estimated value of 3 billion. Can you give me a quote?"
When this was mentioned, Theresa's face darkened, and her words were tinged with resentment.
"That girl was beaten too little when she was little! Can't she watch her surroundings when she's fighting? She kicked a Flaming Stone Thrower into someone's warehouse! The big boss, Ningguang, came to our branch to demand an explanation, what could I do?"
"Hmm...well...how should I put it..."
Rita clearly didn't know what to say.
But thinking about it carefully, our own captain sometimes knocks down quite a few buildings with a single spear throw, but that's all fate.
Three billion! The Far East branch certainly doesn't have that much working capital.
"What did Lady Cecilia say?"
"What did she say? She invited Ningguang to drink a cup of bell tea, and then threw Qiyana over there." Theresa was a little annoyed.
Rita, on the other hand, had an expression of complete understanding.
If it were her turn, she would throw it away too.
This girl is completely unacceptable.
"But Cecilia is probably quite happy with this situation; she can treat it as a training exercise for Kiana."
Theresa's dismissive words made Rita's smile stiffen.
Are you sure you didn't sell Kiana?
Could Kiana possibly pay back 3 billion in a lifetime?
Well, Rita also knows that Cecilia has probably colluded with Ningguang in private and reached some kind of consensus.
After all, it's only natural for a mother to clean up her daughter's messes.
"So... Lady Theresa, you're here now taking care of Kiana?"
"Huh? Take care of?"
Theresa glanced at Rita with a puzzled look.
Rita returned his gaze, completely bewildered.
Is not it?
"Rita, are you out of your mind? I'm here to prevent that brat Kiana from escaping!"
"..."
Ah... although it was unexpected, it's inexplicably reasonable.
“However…” Theresa frowned slightly, “There was indeed an attack at the Chamber of Commerce today, and the attacker is unknown.”
"Targeting Kiana?" Rita's expression turned slightly serious.
"I don't know. After all, the Chamber of Commerce itself is quite eye-catching. Its profitability is comparable to Anti-Entropy, but it doesn't have Anti-Entropy's strong overt military force. It's not surprising that it's being targeted."
Theresa looked somewhat annoyed.
"Where are the extraterrestrial visitors you're in charge of?"
"The target is missing, but my intuition tells me it must be related to the World Serpent."
"When did you become an intuitionist?"
Theresa glanced at Rita, and a sudden inspiration flashed through her mind.
“Wait, Rita, I have an idea.”
"...Lady Theresa, is this your idea?"
"Don't look at me like that! I'm serious!" Theresa jumped up and down at the skeptical look on Rita's face. "The most well-informed forces here, besides World Serpent, are the Liyue Merchant Guild! If you need information, just go to the Merchant Guild and buy it! Isn't that better than you searching for a needle in a haystack here with the Undying Blade?"
"And while I'm at it, I'll keep an eye on Miss Kiana for you?" Rita immediately knew what Theresa was up to.
