Combo Meal Time~

Bullshit! This deal is done, and she can close the shop for the rest of the month—yes, she's also a part-time Boss Liu.

She really wanted to criticize this young lady's so-called "other people's boyfriend" again, asking if he was a workaholic.

But!

How could an excellent service worker ask such an embarrassing question to a guest?

And it seems there are other business opportunities here!

"Okay! Do you need me to deliver it to your door?"

"No, no, no!"

Upon hearing this, Kokomi had just adapted to the environment, immediately changed his expression behind his mask.

"Oh, so you're sending someone to pick it up?"

The shop assistant expressed her understanding; after all, she was a sheltered young lady who couldn't let others see such things.

"No! I... I'll take it with me!"

"Ah... okay, I understand."

The shop assistant didn't argue, displaying a sycophantic attitude of "whatever you say, sir."

Besides, this thing isn't heavy, so the packaging might take up a little space.

However, forty boxes can only fit into two ordinary bags.

But then again... the shop assistant actually admired the young lady's courage to parade around carrying two bags of condoms.

Even she wouldn't dare to do that...

The store clerk went to the warehouse and took out these luxury security devices that no one would normally buy, and checked and packed them.

"Um..." the shop assistant called out to Kokomi, who was about to turn and leave.

(That figure looks familiar... Could it be the young lady from some wealthy family nearby?)

"Miss, if you have any further needs in the future... could you please give our shop another chance?"

Life is short, so you have to seize the opportunity!

"Hey... why are you buying this kind of thing?"

Elysia looked disappointed.

Asta silently retrieved the drone—she had been tinkering with it herself these past few days; after all, she was still a scientist at heart, only she had been reassigned to an administrative position.

There's only one reason Asta is speechless now—she's actually somewhat disappointed!?

Why would someone with zero experience feel disappointed?

(Have I been assimilated by this group of people?)

"Miss Airi, you're not going to use this as leverage to blackmail them, are you?"

"I won't get anything out of coercing her."

Elysia shook her head.

"Hmm... Ah! I've got it!"

"Please retract your audacious idea."

"Huh? You really don't want to listen? It's a very serious idea."

"I won't listen."

"My idea is to give each maid a box, and then stipulate that each of them must wear at least one of the boxes as a necklace while on duty!"

"Rejected! Rejected!"

This is blatantly encouraging childbirth!

"The veto failed."

Elysia narrowed her eyes.

"Asta, you should know, no man in the world can resist a beautiful girl who's showing affection while holding a little balloon in her mouth~"

After saying that, before Asta could react, Elysia skipped away quickly.

"Wait a minute—!"

"Boss, please take a look."

"What is this...?"

"The income and expenditure statements of Watatsumi Island over the years," Jade said to Liu Bai, with Topaz by her side. "Due to the special relationship between Watatsumi Island and Inazuma, this was not included in the reports that Inazuma sent over before."

That's understandable; Inazuma's involvement with Orobashi was purely humanitarian aid, so he clearly didn't care.

Watatsumi Island's annexation was largely a proactive move.

"Oh, so is there a problem?"

Liu Bai believed in the abilities of Jade and Topaz, so he didn't go to see them immediately—or rather, he wouldn't be able to see anything even if he did.

The reason these two people were able to finish reading is because they are economic monsters.

"There is one notable 'non-performing asset'."

Topaz spoke up; taking inventory of assets was her area of expertise.

"Here, a large amount of money is invested in maintaining the Enkanomiya every year, but from what I understand, the situation of the Enkanomiya is still very bad. The Honkai energy is excessive every year, and the Honkai Beasts and Honkai zombie gather in large numbers every year. Even Orobashi has no way to eradicate it."

"Oh, so a fixed amount of money is going down the drain every year. What's the solution?"

Liu Bai gestured for the two to sit down. He didn't care much about this matter; Watatsumi Island could suppress it, so it was obviously not a big deal. However, since the two of them brought it up, they probably had something to say.

Topaz bowed slightly to Liu Bai and carefully chose his words: "BOSS, have you ever heard of a term called 'monster spawner'?"

Chapter 370 It's time for the special offer!

"... That's truly a brilliant idea."

Liu Bai instantly understood Topaz's meaning—a stable source of gacha coins.

"I have a specific plan... no, just give me the plan when you have time."

Having just arrived, Liu Bai figured he couldn't just open his mouth and expect the other party to come up with a concrete plan.

"My subordinates have already drafted the first version of the plan."

Topaz manipulated the bracelet, and a map appeared before Liu Bai's eyes.

"This is a map I got from the officials of Watatsumi Island. As you can see, the location of Enkanomiya is underground on Watatsumi Island."

Topaz seemed worried that Liu Bai was unfamiliar with the terrain, so he first introduced the location of Enkanomiya.

"The vertical space isn't that close, so we only need to invest a small amount of money to seal off the entrance..."

"Could this create a natural breeding ground for Honkai?"

"That's right."

Topaz nodded, not surprised by Liu Bai's comprehension.

"But simply blocking the entrance is not enough. More importantly, we need to achieve the goal of 'sustainable exploitation' – given our current situation, the rate at which Honkai Beasts are generated in the Enkanomiya, measured in years, is still relatively slow."

"That makes sense."

There are less than two months left here.

There are some difficult situations to handle on Liu Bai's side.

For example, space defense.

There has been little improvement – or rather, even with efforts, there has been no way to quickly achieve results.

Getting back to the main point, Liu Bai still hopes that the monster spawning room Topaz suggested can speed up the respawn rate.

It would take at least a month to make it even remotely useful.

If it's for a year, then it's truly a one-time thing.

"Throw some Chi You Remains inside?"

"Um... that's one way to do it too."

Topaz was taken aback for a moment, then nodded helplessly.

Our boss has a bit of a path dependency, but this suggestion is fine.

"But it's even simpler to place a medium to large-sized unprotected Honkai reactor in the Enkanomiya."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bai immediately understood.

An open-air nuclear reactor, right?

But isn't this a bit...?

"The exact size of the reactor required for the Enkanomiya to detonate and cause a Honkai still needs careful investigation."

"... It feels very dangerous. Isn't the investment too high?"

"No, the only investment required is money. I consulted Dr. Einstein, Anti-Entropy has very mature reactor technology."

"... What about security?"

"No matter what, I would never suggest blowing someone else's house up into the sky."

Topaz was slightly embarrassed—she knew her suggestion was fraught with danger.

"At most, it just means... earthquakes will be a little more frequent?"

"I thank you on behalf of everyone on Watatsumi Island." Bai was somewhat speechless. "Alright, I'll discuss the specific strategy with the Doctor later."

"Thank you very much for your acceptance."

Topaz bowed again.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and then the door was pushed open a crack.

"Lord Liu Bai... have I disturbed you?"

Kokomi cautiously peeked out.

"I have already bought what you asked me to buy."

"No... Hmm, come in, Kokomi."

Although Liu Bai felt a little embarrassed to have Kokomi bring in the condom with two beautiful women sitting next to him.

But then I thought, if I don't take it, it would seem like I'm acting suspiciously, like I have a guilty conscience.

Reliable adults have no reason to feel ashamed about this!

Then Liu Bai saw Xin Hai, wearing a padded Kokomi, walk in with a red face, carrying two large bags of condom boxes.

... The image of the grass.

"Oh...?"

Jade crossed her legs and made a mature, sophisticated voice that made Liu Bai slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately, Topaz didn't seem to realize what was happening; he just tilted his head slightly and stared curiously at the contents of the Kokomi bag.

... Then, Kokomi, who was being stared at by the three people, felt even more embarrassed.

Before that, she had been stared at with strange looks by passersby—fortunately, not every place on Watatsumi Island was full of idle people, and only two or three out of ten passersby would stare at her curiously.

"... Why are there so many?"

When Liu Bai saw these countless condoms, his first thought was— Kokomi is trying to harm me!

With so much, wouldn't I be completely stuffed by the end of the night?

"Because... because this comes in boxes of two... I think the original ten boxes might not be enough for you."
