Honkai, But I Have Too Many Mods

"Don't worry about it, just do as I say."

Liu Bai placed his hand on the flower bud, which was about ninety percent similar to the simulated pistil, and the bud instantly bloomed.

However, in Guinaifen's eyes, Liu Bai had merely made a grasping motion in the air.

"...Snow?"

Guinaifen was momentarily stunned as snowflakes landed on her face.

Tap, tap...

Two sets of footsteps echoed from the alley, and then, two girls with skin as pale as snow, expressionless faces, and eyes that seemed to hold a hint of bloodlust, emerged from the shadows, wielding scythes as tall as they were.

"Boss! What are these?" Guinaifen shivered instinctively upon seeing the girls' eyes.

They had the look of monsters that existed only for slaughter.

"Just think of them as Mara-Struck from the Xianzhou!"

"Oh... Oh— Good morning... Wait! Mara-Struck are even worse!"

Guinaifen fumbled for the potion Liu Bai had given her.

"Which one should I throw?"

"Throw whichever one you pull out!"

"Got it!"

Guinaifen took a deep breath, her panicked expression instantly calming.

"Here goes!"

As a performer, Guinaifen's short-distance throwing ability might even surpass that of some professionals.

Two gray Failure Potions arced through the air, skillfully evading the Deathless's scythes and hitting the girls directly on the head.

[Glacial Scythe 1 affected by Failure Potion, Affection +200, Current Affection: 100]

[Glacial Scythe 2 affected by Failure Potion, Affection +200, Current Affection: 100]

The girls, who had been radiating a chilling killing intent, suddenly froze.

Their blood-red pupils simultaneously fixed on Liu Bai. Just as Guinaifen inwardly cried out that things were going badly, she saw two pink hearts gradually appear in the blood-red eyes of these two monstrous girls.

"...Huh?"

[You have successfully identified a potion]

[Failure Potion: Elixir of Love: Energy Boost]

[You have unlocked the Identification skill, Current Identification Skill Level: 1]

"Ah... ah..."

As Deathless infected by the Honkai, the Glacial Scythes had long lost the ability to speak, but that didn't stop them from murmuring and walking towards Liu Bai with hearts in their eyes.

"Are... are they not going to fight anymore?"

Guinaifen looked at the hearts in the eyes of the two monstrous girls and felt like something was off.

It was like seeing a Xianzhou citizen falling in love with a Mara-Struck on the Xianzhou.

No, this felt too weird. What exactly was this thing she had thrown?

"Um... Boss, they're coming for you."

"I know."

Everything... is still within calculations... right?

Chapter 9: This is the Path of Evil for Making Money

[Elixir of Love: Energy Boost (Consumable)]

[Upon use, the character will significantly increase their affection towards the player for a certain period. If used at low affection, after the duration ends, affection will return to its original value and may drop drastically. At high affection, it is highly likely to retain the affection. The increase and duration depend on Intelligence and Willpower.]

[This potion also has an additional Energy Boost effect. After use, a large amount of Energy will be immediately restored, and the Energy recovery speed will be greatly accelerated for ten hours.]

In most games, there's an entity that stands out from all the others.

—That's right, it's the player.

Being outside the three realms and not bound by the five elements, "leech" is the best description for such an existence.

This is why this potion is called a "Failure Potion."

Because this potion is meant to be used on the player!

Even if Guinaifen threw it, the two Deathless would still end up falling in love with Liu Bai.

Of course, even if Liu Bai's special status as a player didn't exist, it wouldn't matter. In this situation, whether the final target was Guinaifen or Liu Bai made no difference.

However, normal people wouldn't typically use such a drug on Deathless.

Liu Bai had tried it on Deathless before because he thought they looked quite nice...

Yeah, after all, a miniskirt and big white legs, it would be a shame not to try them out.

Then, as expected, it was successful.

As beings similar to zombies, Deathless possess a certain level of intelligence and can follow commands—but this intelligence is unlikely to be higher than that of pack animals like dogs or wolves.

Willpower... As for willpower, forget it. What's there to discuss about willpower with zombies?

Even if just a few drops splashed into his mouth from the throw, it could control him for over ten minutes.

"Ah... ah..."

Two Glacial Scythes moved closer, nuzzling against Liu Bai.

[Glacial Scythe 1 has become a companion]

[Glacial Scythe 2 has become a companion]

[Honkai Faction Favorability Unlocked]

[Current Favorability -100 -99 (Until Death Do Us Part)]

"Huh?"

Liu Bai blinked in surprise at the pop-up notification.

Why was there Honkai faction favorability? There was no such notification before!

Could this be a new condition for joining the Honkai faction?

Normally, joining the Honkai faction wasn't difficult; getting infected was enough, and then the gameplay would turn into a zombie mode from a shooter game.

Normally... if the favorability with the Honkai faction becomes too high... you might turn into a Herrscher?

But he hadn't joined the Honkai faction yet—though it sounded as if Herrschers were naturally part of the Honkai faction!

Well... there was nothing to fuss about, really. More favorability meant more paths.

Thinking this, a smile spread across Liu Bai's face.

"Can I have this?"

Liu Bai pointed at the great scythes in the hands of the Glacial Scythes.

The Deathless girls tilted their heads, seemingly pondering something.

Liu Bai pointed again, then made a grasping motion.

"Ah! Ah!"

This time, both Deathless girls understood and, without complaint, handed over the scythes emitting cold air to Liu Bai.

[Great Ice Scythe (Weapon/Material)]

[Weapon possessed by the advanced mutated Deathless 'Glacial Scythe'. It continuously emits cold air. Even fragments are very precious items, and the value of a complete great scythe is immeasurable.]

Starting price in the game: five hundred thousand.

That's right, this was Liu Bai's unorthodox way of making money!

Then Liu Bai pointed at their clothes and made a gesture of taking off clothes on himself.

"What are you doing!"

Guinaifen saw this, blushed, and lightly tapped Liu Bai's head with the drumstick she had tucked into her waist.

"Even if they've turned into monsters, they are still—"

"Their clothes, three hundred thousand."

"..."

Guinaifen really wanted to scold Liu Bai, that money isn't everything, and merchants should have morals.

But... three hundred thousand.

Guinaifen had seen on the vending machines when she was on Luofu that just for food purchases, the currency here was a bit more stable than credit points.

Guinaifen thought for a moment, if someone offered three hundred thousand credit points for her clothes...

...She'd definitely sell them, wouldn't she be an idiot not to?

"But no matter what, you can't just make girls—or at least monsters that look like girls—take off their clothes in front of you!"

"Ah—! Ah!"

The two Deathless girls made threatening gestures at Guinaifen—if the scythes weren't in Liu Bai's hands, these two Deathless girls might have already attacked.

"Whoa!" Guinaifen was startled too, "Okay... I guess I know it's a bit strange to care about the gender of monsters..."

"It's fine, this just shows your views are still quite normal." Liu Bai comforted Guinaifen, then continued to make the undressing gesture towards the Deathless girls.

Before long, the two Deathless girls understood and began to take off their clothes.

Guinaifen: "..."

Even though she had hung out with her buddies on the streets after moving to Luofu, those were all very proper hangouts, when had she ever watched other people undress with the opposite sex present!

Rather, her "hangouts" maintained a very good sense of personal space!

Guinaifen turned away silently.

Being an entertainer and being a young unmarried woman were two different things when it came to thick skin.

[Icy Deathless Garb (Armor/Material)]

[Tough attire constructed from Honkai energy with ice attributes, extremely resistant to cold, not to heat, and quite precious]

[Undergarments that emanate cold air]

[Although the fabric is minimal, it possesses stronger ice power and greater resilience than the Deathless Garb. Furthermore, as intimate apparel, it carries no strange odors—of course, due to its limited coverage, it offers almost no defensive capabilities. Additionally, it is not recommended for female equipment]

"What did you take—!"

Guinaifen covered her eyes and turned around, peeking through her fingers to see something in Liu Bai's hand that made her even more embarrassed.

"...I don't know why I still have this kind of thing."

Liu Bai was also a bit puzzled. Normally, materials would just stop dropping once they reached the Deathless Garb.

"But the Deathless's underwear is a thong... cough, alright, just think of them as things that dropped off the Mara-Struck, wouldn't that be fine?"

"I... I'll try my best."

After he said that, Guinaifen thought about it and felt he had a point. If there were really Mara-Struck or Aeons naked in front of her, would she still be embarrassed?

She'd definitely just whack them with a stick!

—But then again, normal people wouldn't think of stripping Aeons or Mara-Struck!

"Ah, Boss, behind you."

"Behind me?" Hearing Guinaifen's reminder, Liu Bai's expression changed.

Could the medicine have worn off so quickly?

That shouldn't be the case! It hadn't even been ten minutes!
