Honkai, But My Mods Are Too Much Chapter 26

Failed Potion.

Even though after layers of testing, it was confirmed that this thing, which their company spent a lot of effort developing, inexplicably only had the effect of an energy drink, the taste was not bad, so she simply threw it in.

"Sigh... This is going to kill me. Should I just go downstairs and buy some?"

She didn't want to move.

Jackal surrendered to her body. Anyway, what she needed right now was exactly something to boost her energy.

Scan code.

As expected, it was in stock—no matter how she thought about it, she had never drunk this thing before.

"Gulp... Weird, does it feel sweeter than last time? Hmm... Did it go bad?"

Although she regretted it slightly, the taste was indeed good, and the effect of restoring stamina was also very obvious.

...She decided. One more can.

Chapter 34: Liu Bai, have you started to hate your sister?

The next day

Shencheng Pharmaceuticals

"Whoa... What's wrong with you?"

Natasha looked at her partner, Jackal, with some confusion.

"Me? What could be wrong with me?" Jackal looked back at Natasha, equally confused.

"I mean... did you not sleep last night?"

Natasha looked at Jackal's dark circles and the bloodshot eyes.

"This?" Jackal pouted, acting as if Natasha was making a fuss over nothing. "I drank a bit too much of that energy drink yesterday, so I'm a little over-excited—but I feel great right now. If you have nothing better to do, go catch me some Deathless. I feel like I can dissect five or six more today."

"I'm not your errand runner."

Natasha was displeased with Jackal's tone.

"Besides, the Undying Blade team is stationed here now. Hmph, someone's probably going to run out of supplies."

Although she was unwilling to admit it, the people of the Undying Blade were serious about fighting the Honkai. In the past few days, they had swept through almost all the Honkai sources they used for raising their "pigs."

Without an Emperor-class Honkai, it would be impossible to stop the Undying Blade.

"What?" Jackal's tone was also displeased.

Based on past experience, the next step would be for the two of them to start exchanging sarcastic remarks.

"Anyway, don't you dare die in front of me."

Natasha was unwilling to argue with Jackal. It wasn't that she couldn't win the argument, but she simply didn't see the point.

With that, Natasha prepared to leave.

However, before leaving, Natasha was a bit curious about something.

"Speaking of which, this energy drink of yours..."

It wasn't as if she hadn't seen Jackal pull all-nighters before. Were the energy drinks Jackal usually made this potent?

"Hmm? You haven't tried it?"

Jackal sounded slightly puzzled.

"If my memory serves me right, there were a few less tubes of this energy drink in there."

"Huh? In the vending machine in your office?"

As Jackal mentioned it, Natasha seemed to recall something.

"No, I'm too lazy to touch your vending machine. It's possible Gray Serpent or Night Owl grabbed some when they were here—anyway, no one else usually uses that vending machine."

Natasha couldn't understand why Jackal would even bother with a vending machine. It was supposed to be an emergency medicine cabinet, but you still had to pay?

I bet you damn idiot are targeting me!

Well, it wasn't surprising that Jackal could become a capitalist.

"So stingy."

Even though the two of them didn't get along, they had been partners for so many years. How could Jackal not know Raven's usual behavior?

In fact, the vending machine might have been set up with the intention of annoying Natasha.

"Here, have a tube. Try it, the effect is really good."

Perhaps out of a desire to recommend it, Jackal took out two tubes of gray potion from her pocket.

"..."

Sorry, the moment Natasha saw it was gray, she didn't want to drink it anymore.

No, she had never wanted to drink it in the first place.

If she dared to drink the medicine from Jackal's hand, she was afraid she wouldn't even know how she died.

"……What's with that look? It's rare for me to be nice for once."

"I can't afford to accept Dr. Jackal's kindness."

Heaven knows if this guy was using me as a test subject on a whim.

"Why would I lie to you?" Jackal was a bit unwilling after her sales pitch failed, so she drank a tube right in front of Natasha. "These are the last few tubes, but I've already set up a production line to make this stuff… though I'm running low on materials."

"…Alright, it's not impossible to try." Seeing Jackal's decisiveness, Natasha figured it was free anyway, so why not take it? "By the way, how much did you drink yesterday?"

"Thirty or forty?" Jackal rubbed her chin, recalling. "Anyway, I finished them without even realizing it."

"…Amazing you noticed a few were missing when you're like this."

"After all, I still have some impression of the things I make."

What impression?

Natasha thought inwardly.

After being partners for so many years, didn't Natasha know Jackal?

When this woman swore something was true, the failure rate was outrageously high.

"Oh right, Natasha, are you in charge of… Hey!"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Natasha knew what Jackal was about to ask. Without hesitation, she turned and walked away.

"…Tch."

Natasha didn't have much to do these days.

She hadn't found a suitable opportunity to attack the merchant guild and kidnap Kiana yet.

So, her main job was slacking off at Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, doing some paperwork.

Although Natasha's primary role was as a combatant, she handled these tasks with ease.

After work, she first checked on the children she had adopted, then headed back to her apartment.

"Jackal recommended something decent for once."

Natasha muttered as she got out of the car.

After drinking it, the Honkai energy in her body showed no abnormalities; she simply felt more energetic.

If this stuff could be used to replenish stamina in a prolonged battle…

Natasha thought as she went upstairs and opened the door.

"I'm back."

"Cooking."

Liu Bai was cooking in the kitchen—or rather, practicing his culinary skills.

"Eh… You're so cold, little brother."

"……"

The spatula Liu Bai was stir-frying with suddenly paused.

"What are we eating today, by the way?"

Just as Liu Bai was wondering if this was a prank, Natasha had already taken off her hood and cloak and walked into the kitchen.

"…Miss Natasha?"

Liu Bai suddenly felt a little reluctant to call her 'sister' anymore.

He felt a sense of danger.

"Call me sister~~"

Natasha's tone now was completely devoid of her usual cool, mature demeanor. Instead, she acted like a sister-complex type, clinging to Liu Bai from behind, looking like she wanted to wrap her entire body around him.

"Call me sister~~"

She repeated.

This is wrong, this is really wrong.

"Sister?"

A wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him. Although Natasha's tone was sweet and her touch was substantial, in this situation, he couldn't escape.

Besides, Natasha's combat power was no joke.

So, what was wrong with Natasha today?

Liu Bai silently brought up Natasha's character profile.

[Natasha · Shiori]

[Current Affection: 85 (25 + 60 'Elixir of Love')]

"???"

I didn't drug Natasha myself!

Well, if I had to say anything, it would be that I've done it in games. After all, games don't have morals, you do whatever feels good.

But in real life, I've been completely clean.

Liu Bai silently turned off the induction cooker and stood up.

But Natasha, who was hugging Liu Bai from behind, was holding on very tightly. Liu Bai turned around, and Natasha was pulled around with him.

"Sis, can you let me go first?"

"No, is that how you talk to your sister? Do you, A-Liu, hate your sister now?"

Natasha refused in a spoiled tone, while poking Liu Bai's face with her finger.

What kind of nickname is A-Liu...

Nuzzle, nuzzle.

After poking with her finger, Natasha shamelessly pushed her face against him.

There's no other way...

Liu Bai silently activated the camera mode on his wristband.

Chapter 35: Is This the Distortion of Humanity or the Decay of Morality?

"You delete that!"

"No."

"Do you really want to die like this!?"

"Gentle sister's face changes overnight, brutally killing her brother. Is this the distortion of humanity or the decay of morality?"
