Honkai, But I Have Too Many Mods

"Tell me about that little brother... I can give you shares, no, you can be the boss of Shencheng Pharmaceuticals from now on."

"..."

Natasha's first reaction was that he was crazy, that this guy had really drunk too much and his brain wasn't working properly.

But her second reaction was: This is bad, what if I'm tempted.

Natasha's heart began a battle between heaven and man.

She and Liu Bai had only known each other for a week.

They were technically fake siblings, with no real affection.

On the other hand, Jackal, she had cooperated with for so many years, a good sister who had gone through life and death together...

No, she couldn't sugarcoat it anymore. Life and death together meant this brat always needed her to clean up his mess.

"Damn it!"

Bang—!

"Now that bastard owes me a company worth tens of billions."

Looking at Jackal spiraling away, Natasha's heart was bleeding.

"...What the hell are those two up to."

Gray Serpent looked at the two people beside him with a blank expression—well, he couldn't really make expressions anyway.

"When did their relationship get so good?"

"Good my ass! Gray Serpent, is your brain malfunctioning too?"

Natasha clearly heard Gray Serpent's retort.

"As far as I can see, there's no problem yet," Gray Serpent slowly walked over to the two of them. "So, what happened?"

Gray Serpent wasn't curious about Jackal causing trouble, after all, this person was bound to court disaster.

But it was very curious that Raven made a move.

Although Raven was a fighter, she was much more mature and steady than Jackal. She acted rather than spoke outside, and spoke rather than acted inside—this was also the biggest reason why these two could cooperate until today.

Now that Raven had beaten Jackal into submission within Shencheng Pharmaceuticals, Gray Serpent was quite curious about the reasons.

"This lunatic is acting up and wants to date! Wait until she wakes up and ask her yourself—although I suggest locking this idiot up for a week to clear her head."

Having missed out on a company worth billions, Natasha clearly had no interest in chatting.

Coincidentally, Natasha had also helped Liu Bai cover up the matter of the Elixir of Love—it had to be said, Jackal, who rushed to give her money, was a good Jackal.

On the other hand, Natasha really didn't know who posed a greater threat to Liu Bai, the current Jackal or the normal Jackal.

If the old Jackal targeted Liu Bai, it would definitely be for dissection and forbidden experiments.

If the current Jackal targeted Liu Bai, she would most likely lock him in a dark room, beat Liu Bai to his knees, and turn him into something...

"I'm leaving early today."

Natasha waved her hand, decisively ending her workday early—she really had no motivation to work anymore.

Ah... my Shencheng Pharmaceuticals...

Oh right, before leaving, she still had to check Jackal's office to see if she could find a few vials of medicine.

"Jackal wants to date?" Mobius raised an eyebrow upon hearing Gray Serpent's report. "The last person who said that was Blanca, right?"

"...Mm."

Gray Serpent nodded.

Blanca, her Honored Master's former assistant, her current state... she ran off with a man.

He also knew that Blanca's situation had made his Honored Master very upset about love, which was why the assistant position was still vacant.

Of course, in the end, his Honored Master didn't stop her and complied with Blanca, letting her go.

Although his World Serpent was not openly known, the atmosphere was quite relaxed.

"...To be honest, Gray Serpent, are you sure today isn't April Fool's Day? If you ask me, this joke... well, it's quite funny?"

Jackal dating?

This joke was as unbelievable as Raven working for free.

Although Mobius had privately complained that Jackal's brain, besides research, seemed to be not very good, her ambition and dedication to science were undeniable.

—Well, she used to think the same way about Blanca.

"Are you sure that what Jackal meant by wanting to date isn't 'wanting to dissect this person'?"

"...Perhaps you could ask Jackal yourself after she wakes up."

Chapter 38: Handsome, But Talkative

"Here, the medicine you wanted."

Back home, Natasha placed a neatly stacked box of fifteen injections on Liu Bai's desk.

"Don't go loitering around Shencheng Pharmaceuticals for the next few days. Jackal is looking for experimental subjects."

"Okay."

Seeing the fifteen injections on the desk, Liu Bai shrugged.

He wouldn't go to Shencheng Pharmaceuticals if he had nothing better to do anyway. As long as he got the Elixir of Love, that was all that mattered.

Liu Bai put down the book in his hand and called out to Guinaifen, who was lounging on the living room sofa watching TV, "Little Gui, let's go out!"

"Coming right up!" Guinaifen jumped off the sofa. "Now that we've made some money, can I get a full set of streaming equipment, boss~"

"Wait, you're going to find Deathless for experiments right now?"

Natasha quickly stopped Liu Bai.

"What else? I don't have anything else to do."

"...Take me with you."

Natasha thought about it. She really didn't know how to dissuade Liu Bai.

If that was the case, she might as well go with him. It would prevent Liu Bai from getting himself killed—and also prevent him from running into Jackal by accident.

This kid's knack for trouble was no joke.

[Natasha has joined as a temporary teammate]

"Hey, Natasha, can you handle an Emperor-class Honkai Beast?"

"What? Why are you asking that?" Natasha, who was following Liu Bai around like a headless chicken, looked at him strangely. "If you're asking if I can beat it, then yes, I can. But it'll cause quite a commotion."

"What about two at the same time?"

"Just kill me now and get it over with."

"I see..."

Liu Bai shifted his gaze away from the intensely crimson simulated calyx in front of him.

[Instance: Dance of Two Elephants]

[Enemy Composition: Pavati, Ganesha]

[Special Ability: Life Link]

Forget it. He shouldn't push his luck right now.

Let's try somewhere else.

Abandoned Building

[Instance: Ancient Legion]

[Enemy Composition: Dormant Spirit Deathless, Nether Spirit Deathless, Annihilation Dormant Spirit]

[Special Ability: None]

[Quantity: Large]

"Sis, get ready."

"There's no need to maintain your persona at a time like this, is there?"

Natasha extended her sharp claws from her combat suit.

"So, where are the enemies?"

"They'll be here soon."

In Natasha's view, Liu Bai reached out and made a grasping motion. The next moment, Natasha felt a strong Honkai energy reaction.

"Whoa, whoa! What is this!"

The Deathless, floating in mid-air, emerged from the shadows in pairs, all of them black and white.

"The white ones are Dormant Spirit Deathless, and the black ones are Nether Spirit Deathless. They're both good stuff."

"I know they're Dormant Spirit Deathless... but aren't these rare creatures that only appear in Schicksal textbooks? There are so many of them!"

Natasha was clearly starting to lose her composure.

"If I remember correctly, don't these guys have control abilities?"

"But they don't have attack capabilities."

Compared to the support abilities of the Dormant Spirit Deathless, their offensive capabilities were almost negligible, limited to threads and self-detonation upon death.

"But, sis! The one in the very back is for you! Feed her the medicine directly!"

Liu Bai pointed to the last individual, which looked almost identical to the Nether Spirit Deathless.

It was the only one alone—the BOSS unit in this instance, the Annihilation Dormant Spirit, a boss from the original game's Memory Arena.

A powerful Deathless with both offense and defense.

If the goal was to kill, the phasing ability of Dormant Spirit Deathless would definitely be a problem.

But… he was here to administer medicine.

"I get it! Guinaifen, protect your boss!"

"Don't worry! Leave the boss's safety to me, Guinaifen!"

The Dormant Spirit Deathless wouldn't wait for them to discuss tactics at a leisurely pace; they slowly waved their hands and began to attack while they were talking.

However… they were too slow.

Even an ordinary person could visually track the thread attacks of the Dormant Spirit Deathless if they didn't panic.

The wind-up before the attack was too obvious.

"Waaahhhh!"

Alright, perhaps it wasn't that obvious for Guinaifen.

"Here it comes!"

Liu Bai ran towards Guinaifen.

Guinaifen's strength was decent; even meeting for the first time, she wouldn't be instantly killed.

Moreover, the two were standing close, and Liu Bai reached Guinaifen in two steps, picked her up, and started running.

"Ehh? Ehhh? Ehhh?"

Guinaifen clearly hadn't expected to be given a princess carry one day.

And it was…

"You're a bit heavy, Guinaifen."

"Are you allowed to say that, Boss!" The slight girlish feeling Guinaifen had just developed was smashed to pieces by Liu Bai's words. "As an artist, I've always worked hard to control my weight! It's clearly because you, Boss, lack exercise!"
