Honkai, But I Have Too Many Mods Chapter 36

This little matter actually caused such a fuss.

"Hm? Boss, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Of course." Liu Bai showed a confident expression. "First, Eden wants to use her real name, right?"

Eden nodded. "That's right."

"But since she's going to be an idol from scratch, the name should also be eye-catching, shouldn't it?"

Eden continued to nod. "That's true... but the names Miss Gui came up with are either unoriginal or too much."

Guinaifen spread her hands, indicating she wouldn't take the blame, arguing it was Eden's own pickiness.

"Aren't names like that just thrown together?"

Liu Bai sighed deeply.

Although he had the awareness of being a decision-maker, he hadn't expected to have to deal with trivial matters like naming.

"Little Gui, get ready to type – Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan. How about that? It perfectly combines eye-catching appeal and her real name."

Eden: "..."

Guinaifen: "..."

"Why are you two staring at me? Type it." Liu Bai frowned and looked back after noticing their strange gazes.

"How about, 'Eden Eden E'? Although it sounds a bit strange, but... hmm, thinking about it carefully, it actually sounds pretty good and catchy." Eden shifted her gaze and patted Guinaifen's shoulder.

"Isn't 'Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan' also catchy? Little Gui! You be the judge!"

However, Guinaifen in front of the computer patted her chest with a serene expression. "Don't worry, so the boss also has things he's not good at. It seems I'm still somewhat useful."

"...You two have no artistic taste." Liu Bai was deeply dissatisfied with their attitudes.

"No one would want to be called that!"

Eden's tone became unusually raised.

She absolutely didn't want to be called "Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan" during interviews in the future!

Just thinking about being called "Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan, Madam..."

When accepting an award, being called "Please welcome Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan, Madam" in front of everyone.

When going out, people saying, "Ah, isn't that the very famous 'Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan' from the internet?"

Ahhhhhh—!

Not only does it sound narcissistic, but it also makes her sound mentally ill—!

"This has nothing to do with art at all! No! It's an insult to art!"

Absolutely! Absolutely!

She would absolutely not accept such a name!

This isn't a question of good or bad!

This is a problem that will become dark history!

Even if she becomes famous later, people will still say, "Oh, Queen Eden, her online alias when she was young was 'Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan'."

In her old age, someone might even interview her, "What were your thoughts when you debuted with 'Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan' as your stage name?"

After she dies and enters textbooks, music books will also record, "The legendary Queen Eden debuted under the name 'Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan' in her youth..."

Chapter Forty-Seven: Tyranny and Combat Skills

Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan

Eden looked at her newly registered account with a lifeless expression.

Liu Bai had shamelessly used his authority to "persuade" Guinaifen and Eden.

She didn't want to do this anymore.

It would be best to make a clean break before this name became her dark history.

At worst, she would live on, burdened by the sin of betraying trust.

"Don't worry, my naming standards are absolutely fine."

Liu Bai patted his chest and guaranteed Eden and Guinaifen.

"Little Gui, tell me, when have I ever set someone up?"

"Right now?" Guinaifen rubbed Eden's back.

Super Beautiful Angel Eden-chan... well, the more you say it, the more strangely catchy it becomes.

But this taste in naming... it's unlikely even Chang Chang would come up with such a name, right?

No, even though Chang Chang can barely string three words together when it comes to poetry and literature, she thought the name Guinaifen was quite nice.

She decided not to let the boss name things in the future.

"Mm, I've already booked the 3D avatar. Don't worry, the live stream won't show my face. This mere name is just a label to show the audience."

"This man is spouting such high-sounding nonsense with a straight face!"

"Did you suddenly realize the boss's hypocritical side? Is this what they call 'house collapse'?"

"...It's hard to imagine what kind of experiences one must have to genuinely believe their naming taste is excellent."

Eden, having recovered slightly, added another blow.

"Let's just try it first. If it doesn't work out, we can change the name, and if all else fails, we can delete the account and start over."

Liu Bai also chimed in to appease them.

It was because these two kept teasing him that his rebellious spirit was ignited.

Liu Bai wanted to see which of the names they came up with could possibly compare to his!

"...Never mind, I'll go adjust the microphone and find some songs for you all to listen to later."

Upon hearing this, Eden sighed, deciding to face reality.

After arranging things for Eden, Liu Bai and Guinaifen went out again.

Although they had been warned to be careful recently, Liu Bai was also implicitly racing against time.

And if they were coming for him, it was unlikely they were just trying to kill him.

Moreover, to be honest, the World Serpent was already an extremely radical organization.

"Hey... there's a fireworks shop here too. Boss, can you lend me some money?" Guinaifen spotted a small shop on the street that caught her interest.

"Here, consider it your salary for this month." Bai directly transferred a sum of money to Guinaifen via his wristband. "Are you going to make firecrackers?"

"Mhm, I plan to buy some firecrackers and modify them. Although I'm not very good at fighting, I still want to help the boss as much as I can."

Whether she was exiled to a mining planet or after her elder brother became a space pirate, Guinaifen had always been well protected.

A small portion of Guinaifen's combat skills came from her childhood life as the Duke's daughter, another portion from being influenced by her elder brothers, and the rest from her acrobatics training.

Basically, it was a hodgepodge of spears, staffs, strange martial arts, and a bunch of other peculiar things.

But... she could actually fight quite well. After all, things like fancy spear and staff techniques were variations of martial arts. Coupled with the fact that she was a Pathstrider herself, her combat power was even higher.

Guinaifen was at least confident she could escape from several Cloud Knights unscathed.

—Though she lacked combat experience.

—And Cloud Knights like Chang Chang didn't count.

In any case, now that she was throwing herself into battle to protect others, Guinaifen had no hesitation.

She couldn't let the regrets of her youth happen again, could she?

"Alright, wait for me at the bookstore after you're done shopping."

Liu Bai's objective this time was to make a large purchase at the library.

His goal was to select some combat skill books.

Liu Bai had already finished reading the previous three books, and his stats were now 3/3/3, giving him decent combat power.

To get the intermediate attribute books, he would have to go to the Sumeru headquarters to buy them. He estimated that he wouldn't be able to access intermediate attribute books for a considerable period in the future.

[Skill Book: Fingertip Lightning Storm]

[Description: Unleash purple lightning from your fingertips for a series of low-damage attacks.]

[Learning Requirement: Electro Vision]

[Price: 100,000g]

Buying a skill that was essentially Lisa's normal attack in the game for a hundred thousand... it was outrageously expensive.

Moreover, Liu Bai couldn't use skill books that required a Vision.

However, obtaining a Vision wasn't as difficult as in the original game.

The Merchant Guild could provide unactivated Visions, and by collecting the corresponding materials, one could activate the corresponding element.

One could also perform alchemy. Liu Bai knew how to refine a Vision, but the material quality wasn't high enough yet.

In the context of the mod, it was more like a simple spellcasting tool, without the complex significance of the original game.

[Skill Book: Blade Parry]

[Description: Wield a sword or blade to parry enemy physical attacks and build up their posture gauge. Once the posture gauge is full, execute a critical hit that deals massive damage. Note: Do not attempt to execute Robert with a small knife, and recognize your own strength.]

[Learning Requirement: None]

[Price: 300,000g]

Parry.

This concept was quite widespread in action games.

But if you were to ask which game had the most visually appealing parry, perhaps eighty percent of the answers would be Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

Hmm, this skill book comes from a "Sekiro mod." In this mod, besides parrying, players can also craft an "Immortal Blade." Its stats are average, but the special effects are really cool.

Alright, even though Liu Bai has no combat experience, he can still do the "sword shake."

Just keep shaking, that's all there is to it.

As for that prompt, it's also quite simple. It means that executions are also affected by weapon attributes. If the enemy's armor is thick enough, you won't be able to stab them. Also, parrying depends on your own strength...

But Liu Bai wasn't planning on using his "salted fish" sword for any executions. The priority is to survive.

This is it.

Then, I need to find some compatible martial arts techniques for the katana...

Hmm, this one, "Kamisato Art: Iai."

Are regular attacks just regular attacks? Or are they five-star-rated normal attacks that are twice as good as Guinaifen's normal attacks?

Sighs, utterly dejected...

After selecting the combat skills, Liu Bai went back to choose the life skills.

The next skill to improve is... Computer.

Only with a high enough Computer skill can he forge an identity for Firefly, allowing her to come out.

It will also be convenient for arranging the characters he draws in the future.

It's just that there aren't any game-breaking items from mods for Computer skill books, unlike the attribute books.

But the good thing is... regardless of the level, as long as you read it, you gain experience.

Liu Bai took all the Computer skill books on the first floor into his possession.

The sheer quantity was so large that he even needed help from the bookstore's staff to move them.

"All done."
