Thinking about barbecuing right after taking a shower? Does that mean I haven't showered long enough?

"Let's do it! We've already bought all the ingredients! It would be a waste not to have a barbecue!"

Exusiai ran up to Li Chaoge, hugged his neck, and acted coquettishly.

Everyone present, including Lilith Heixi, had no say in whether or not to have a barbecue; it all depended on the Doctor's decision.

"Those things won't spoil if you put them in the refrigerator."

It's not like it's a 0.01mm balloon; there's no reason to buy it and then use it all up.

However, he simply couldn't resist Exusiai's affectionate advances.

"All right,"

Looking down at Exusiai's slender figure under her short-sleeved shirt, Li Chaoge had no choice but to agree.

This is blatant temptation... Exusiai, you're something else, directly seducing him with your body.

"Mua~ Boss, you're the best! Seele, come help me set up the shelf!"

Upon hearing Li Chaoge's agreement, Exusiai gave Li Chaoge a quick kiss on the cheek and turned to call Seele and the others for help.

Seeing Exusiai ignoring them like that made Lilith and Kuroki want to punch her.

"Lucia, get me some charcoal. I think it's in that cabinet over there!"

"Ok."

"Hehe, I'll have the BBQ!"

"Alright, let's go over there too."

Exusia called Lucia Seele to help, and Li Chaoge patted Lilith and Black Seele, telling them to get up and carry the stools to the small garden together.

The barbecue grill wasn't very big, but the group wasn't in a hurry to eat. After taking out orange juice and coconut juice from the refrigerator, they sat together, enjoying the delicious barbecue and cold drinks while gazing at the night sky, chatting about their interesting stories and getting to know each other.

Li Chaoge didn't buy beer. Although he could drink it, he preferred beverages that wouldn't make him feel unwell.

Moreover, with so many unstable factors at home, he dared not get drunk, nor did he dare let them get drunk.

He didn't want to get drunk and wake up to find that the surrounding buildings had been torn down by the women who were acting crazy while drunk.

"Captain, let's welcome every new recruit like this from now on."

Xi'er took a small sip, looked at everyone with smiles on their faces, and offered a suggestion to Li Chaoge.

She felt that this would ease a lot of the tense atmosphere. For example, now, Hei hope and Lilith didn't quarrel so easily, although they would still glare at each other.

"Wouldn't that mean eating gourmet meals every day?"

Exusiai mumbled indistinctly while biting into a fragrant cumin lamb skewer.

Seele hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Chaoge.

"Uh......"

Li Chaoge was also troubled. Xier's idea was good, and he also felt it was necessary to welcome their arrival.

However, considering the speed at which his second wives appeared, he had to face a cruel reality: the battlegrounds would become more and more frequent.

He's torn between wanting his new wife to arrive quickly and not wanting them to show up so soon, otherwise, forget about the money, his back wouldn't be able to take it either. It's a real dilemma.

As time slowly passed, it was eleven o'clock when they had almost finished eating and were ready to end the barbecue.

"Captain, nothing seems to have changed?"

Seele hesitated for a moment, looking at Li Chaoge beside her. Exusiai and the others were also waiting expectantly.

This is ultimately a matter of Li Chaoge's health. Even if they can restrain themselves from refusing, it's difficult to stop the others from doing so. Therefore, the best solution is to improve Li Chaoge's physical condition.

Although Seele didn't understand what the Command Seal was all about, the description said it could restore her condition, so even if it couldn't enhance her physical abilities, it was still a pretty good ability.

They don't need the captain to go to the front lines; it's enough for the captain to protect himself.

"It seems there's no change. It looks like that Command Seal can't regenerate on its own."

Li Chaoge carefully examined the back of his hand, which showed no change whatsoever, but he didn't sense any enormous energy or strange changes.

If he hadn't actually felt a warmth on the back of his hand before, he would have doubted whether the faint mark on the back of his hand was something he had accidentally made himself.

Is this Command Seal just for show? Or is there a time difference?

But it doesn't really matter. His relationship with them shouldn't be maintained by frequent intimate communication. He liked them not because they could bring him any ultimate enjoyment.

To him, his second wife, who came from another time, was indeed a unique treasure in the world, but what was truly precious was his ordinary daily life with them.

Thinking of this, Li Chaoge's initially expectant and nervous mood suddenly eased.

"Seele, Black Seele, Xiao Le, Lilith, Lucia, thank you for coming into my life."

Li Chaoge looked at the women around him, his gaze slowly sweeping over them, and said seriously.

"Why are you suddenly being so mushy?"

Hei hope touched her shoulders, looking uncomfortable.

"Captain, you don't need to thank me."

Seele shook her head and gave Li Chaoge a sweet smile.

"Yes, Commander, there's no need to thank us. It was our choice to come to your side."

Lucia nodded earnestly.

"It's not like there's no way to improve your physical condition, Master. At worst, I can use the virus dissolving technique to help you absorb [experience points]."

The haughty Lilith habitually puffed out her chest and gave a soft snort.

"That's for your own use, right? There's no magic here to replenish your power."

Li Chaoge shook his head. He wasn't sure what would happen if Lilith completely lost her magic in this world. Anyway, it wouldn't matter if her body was a little weak. He shouldn't do anything too risky.

Command Seals should still be useful, but I don't know how to activate or replenish their energy right now. Maybe they'll be useful when the next person from the FGO world comes.

"Boss, why are you calling me by my nickname again...?"

Everyone else was either comforting Li Chaoge or whispering sweet nothings to her, while only Exusiai Remy wanted to cover her ears.

The professor keeps calling her by her nickname, it's so unfair! Why don't they call everyone else by their nicknames?!

"Heh, who told you to use the codename Exusiai? Can't I just use your real name instead?"

Li Chaoge pulled Exusiai, who was covering her ears, over, lifted her smooth, white chin, and leaned down to kiss her rosy lips.

"Ugh...that's too much!"

Nengtian grabbed Li Chaoge's neck tightly and shoved him back hard.

Seele and Black Seele didn't pay much attention to the intimate interaction between the two, or rather, they did care, but they weren't particularly surprised or strange.

Lucia, who hadn't kissed Li Chaoge yet, was completely stunned.

This...this is kissing, right?! Is it that exciting?!

Previously, she had only seen the Commander kiss the cheek with Black Hill Lilith, which felt like he was coaxing Nanami and the others. She didn't feel much for Lucia.

But now, seeing the Commander and Exusiai having such a heated exchange in front of everyone, Lucia, blushing furiously, was completely at a loss for words to express her feelings.

Testimonials

First of all, thank you all for your support since the book's inception. The book will be available for purchase this Friday, oh no, it's Saturday, because the next day doesn't start until 6 PM on BookKee. I usually update around 5 or 6 AM, and I will try to update during normal times in the future.

The idea for this book came from seeing a video on Bilibili called "Celebrating Xier's Birthday at Haidilao". After communicating with the content creator, the author decided to write it.

However, there were quite a few problems when I first started writing. I had to think about the focus of the subject matter and the reactions of the viewers in the bullet comments. I felt that if I wrote it even slightly poorly, it would discourage many people. Later, I had the idea of ​​changing the subject matter, but then I remembered that I had already told the content creator that I was going to start a book. How could I give up before I even started writing the book? So after being idle for half a month, the author cheered up again and started writing the book. The book that was easy to cause discomfort in the bullet comments is what I have now.

Some readers are worried about the plot later on, but there's no need to worry. Only a few characters have been introduced so far; there's still so much to write. There are titles like "Eight Horses," "1v9 Team Battle," "The Best Tablet Technology," "The Overbearing CEO with Wolf Fang," "Ti Da's Mistake," "He Qing's Reasonableness," "The Concert," "The World's Number One Idol," and so on. Once the sequel becomes a reality, there's definitely more to write than just this.

However, due to limitations in writing ability and the wide range of topics involved, the author can only write slowly and try to be as detailed as possible so that readers who are not familiar with the original works can also come to like them through this book. Isn't that the charm of fan fiction?

The author wants to write a lot, but has only written about four games so far. Honkai Impact 3rd, Punishing: Gray Raven, FGO, Azur Lane, Girls' Frontline, Genshin Impact, etc. are to be added later.

I have to add characters for each game, and it's hard to choose which ones to write. There are so many things I want to write, but I'm worried that it will just become pure self-indulgence and no one will read it. It's really frustrating that there's no voting function on the book forum.

Even without considering characters like the Emperor, the Doctor, SilverAsh, and Watanabe, this book will still take at least several million words to write, but I doubt there will be many readers by then. However, it's too discouraging to talk about this right after the book's release. Let's talk about the current performance: the book has 21,000 favorites, which is a decent base. However, the recommendation votes and other metrics aren't very good. This might be because the author is only updating one chapter a day, combining two chapters. Perhaps it would be better to split the updates?

After some consideration, I decided against offering a reward for uploading the book. We're all just working people; if you could spare a little of the money you'd spend on bubble tea and sugary drinks to subscribe and buy the author a bottle, that would be the best support you could give.

If the grades reach a passing level and the collection-to-subscription ratio reaches 10:1, which is 2,000 subscriptions, then we will maintain a stable double update every day. On this basis, for every additional 100 subscriptions, we will add an extra chapter (once).

If the grades reach a passing level and the collection-to-subscription ratio reaches 10:1, which is 2,000 subscriptions, then we will maintain a stable double update every day. On this basis, for every additional 100 subscriptions, we will add an extra chapter (once).

(Important things)

Well, hopefully it won't end up with only 200 subscriptions and turn into a clown. This list of books with 10,000 subscriptions is called the "execution list" by the author. It would be incredibly embarrassing if it received critical acclaim but didn't sell well.

I've rambled on a bit, but I still hope that those who are "raising" their books will give me some support when the book is officially released. I often see readers complaining that the author is cashing out and running away, so they don't give me initial subscriptions and ask me to "raise" my books. Let me clarify: each chapter is 4,000 words long, which costs 20 cat biscuits. New VIP members get a 20% discount, so it's only 16 cat biscuits, and Diamond VIP members get an even better 40% discount, so it's only 12 cat biscuits. It shouldn't be enough for the author to update over 100,000 words and then release two chapters to "cash out" and run away, right? At least the author's own performance isn't very good; it's not to the point where I can survive for a month or two by "tricking" two chapters into subscriptions.

Although I say I should write with love, it's ultimately not something a mortal like me can sustain on a passion alone. To write for a long time, everything depends on the support of readers. Even if I write with love, I still need feedback—feedback from subscriptions, comments, and reviews.

The author is also a reader and naturally knows that most readers read silently and don't talk much, but the author still hopes that readers can leave more comments, since the author can only see those who speak, and cannot guess what the readers who don't speak are thinking.

Finally, I would like to thank all the experts for their continued support. Actually, I find it quite interesting to read my own book, especially the comments from everyone, which helps me see what I need to improve. As an author, I try my best to write happily and make sure everyone enjoys reading it.

Chapter 40. Lucia is awesome!

"call!"

"Boss, you were great this time too! Keep up the good work next time! Hahaha!"

Damn it, I actually got killed!

Watching Exusiai run off laughing and joking to help pack things, Li Chaoge remained silent, panting, secretly feeling a little embarrassed.

In terms of lung capacity, he's a bit inferior to Exusiai, and Exusiai also knows how to use tricks to launch surprise attacks.

Although it's said that you can breathe through your nose while kissing, you'll find that when you're really kissing intensely, you can't keep that up. You'll unconsciously pause your breathing, and Exusiai often takes advantage of this opportunity to sneak up on him.

But that's alright, we can always fight again later. Anyway, he gets stronger with each battle. Once he practices his skills with Seele, Black Seele, and Lilith, he'll defeat the arrogant Exusiai sooner or later.

"I wonder who will come tomorrow. They probably like barbecue too. It would be even better if they could make desserts."

Exusiai skipped and hopped off to help Seele and Lucia pack their things, talking to them about tomorrow as they packed.

"this......"

Seele and Black Seele picked up all the empty drink bottles and cans from the ground. When they heard Exusiai's words, they both paused, looked at each other, and remained silent.

Although no one has said much about it, the matter is too obvious.

On the first day, Seele and Black Seele will appear; on the second day, Exusiai will appear; on the third day, Lilith and Lucia will appear; on the fourth day, at least two or three will show up, if not three or four.

If they had a choice, Seele and Black Seele would naturally want their Bronya sister to come over. If that wasn't possible, Mei and Kiana would also be fine. However, these things can't be forced, since there are too many people, and on average, everyone's chances of winning are very low.

They decided to put the matter aside for the time being. After all, the arrival of new members meant there would be more comparisons between them. Although the various restrictions meant they could only compete briefly and there wouldn't usually be any major problems, it still meant more competitors. Not everyone could be as carefree as Exusiai, only thinking about eating and drinking.

Lilith and Lucia didn't say anything. Lilith was the last person who wanted anyone from her side to come over, but if she didn't come over, and others did, she would eventually be at a severe disadvantage.

Lucia didn't feel much about it. According to the plan, everyone would come sooner or later, right? Until then, all she had to do was stay by the Commander's side and protect him.

"Are you trying to become a big fat person by eating barbecue every day?"

Li Chaoge glanced at Exusiai, who was lost in thought, and said irritably.

They were thinking of eating barbecue and desserts every day, not caring about becoming obese. Besides, they're out of charcoal now, how are they supposed to barbecue? The person renting the villa is a bit stingy; they only provided enough charcoal for one session. What a blunder! They should have charged them per day and had them replenish the necessary supplies before renting for the next day.

"Hehe, I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight, so you don't need to be envious, boss~"

Exusiai smiled and didn't care at all about Li Chaoge's "attack".

“…” Li Chaoge.

Well, although Laterano people are known for their desserts, it seems that none of them are particularly overweight; they are actually quite slim despite frequently eating desserts.

Needless to say, Seele, Black Seele, and Lilith are quantum ghosts and heroic spirits whose appearance and figure will not change. Lucia is a construct, so she will never get fat.

So, if everyone enjoys a barbecue together, he'll be the only one who ends up getting fat.

The Joker was actually himself?!

Li Chaoge thought for a moment, then was completely speechless.

"A-Neng, you'll be making your own desserts from now on!"

Exusiai pretended not to hear Li Chaoge's harsh words and ran over to Lucia with a grin, asking, "Lucia, can you make desserts?"
