Chapter 216

Himeko's meaning was probably similar to what Li Pu thought.

Meeting Durandal was just an accident, and everything that followed was just a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Li Pu simply acted on a hunch and based on his own intuition; he didn't have any grand plan or idea behind it.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, plans can never keep up with changes, and no one knows what those changes will bring.

They can turn unexpected changes into their own advantages and continuously adjust their plans according to the changes.

This skill is not something that just anyone can possess.

Li Pu also lacks this ability.

We do not possess these capabilities, at least not now.

But this didn't stop him from trying, from observing the consequences of these negative changes, and from trying to turn them into advantages.

Without the ability to adapt to changing circumstances and change plans accordingly.

Li Pu and Himeko chose a more prudent approach.

It means responding to all changes with constancy.

Regardless of who enters the game or when they enter, they only need to do one thing: identify their goal and start moving towards it.

This method is clumsy.

It's very useful!

Li Pu no longer cared about Otto's true purpose in sending the Blade of Unending squad; he just needed to focus on his own task.

I need to contact Durandal tomorrow to see what she thinks.

Are you planning to shop alone or with your teammates?

Although Durandal was referring to the entire team, Durandal probably wouldn't object if a member of the team Independent Action for various reasons. For Durandal, this was a vacation, and the point of a vacation is to have fun. Forcing everyone together for the sake of the team would actually make the vacation less enjoyable.

Therefore, Li Pu did not expect everyone to come.

Now he's hoping to see his own armor.

Lao Dongfang Hot Pot Restaurant.

"I'd like a hot pot with two broths, tomato and spicy, and seafood." Saber, holding his menu, said, "One order of potato slices, two orders of beef slices, two orders of scallion pancakes, one order of potato noodles, and one order of a mixed meatball platter..."

After ordering a whole bunch of things, the Saber seemed finally satisfied and said, "That's all for now."

"There's not enough left."

"This..." The waitress, wearing a round hat with small wings, a brown modified maid outfit, brown stockings, and black leather shoes, looked a little embarrassed and said, "Um, this guest..."

Are you sure you can finish all this food?

This is more than enough for two people.

Although as a waitress she doesn't need to say so much, whether the customers order a lot or a little is none of her business.

Out of some moral concern, or perhaps some other psychological reason, the waiter kindly offered a reminder.

There's way too much for two people to finish.

"What?" The Saber seemed a little annoyed by the waiter's question and said, "This is only one-tenth. I was just afraid that if we ordered too much, there wouldn't be enough room on the table."

"Besides, it's not just me eating, so please hurry up and serve the food."

"Cuihua."

Seeing that their customers were getting a little angry, the waiter didn't say anything more and rushed to take the order and serve the food.

The Saber was playing with his phone out of boredom.

She was waiting for someone, the man nicknamed Huben.

What is the real name of this Huben?

Saber neither knew nor cared about the name of this Huben. All she needed was a set of armor from him.

Although it's a fake, it's enough to just pretend it's real.

Furthermore, Saber has already obtained the genuine Curry Stick, and it feels quite convenient to use. As for the armor, having one set to make do is fine.

With a cane, what more could you want?

As for treating this Huben to a meal...

Saber hadn't intended to do this; she only needed to pick up the goods herself. But then she realized that she hadn't contacted anyone since she left.

The Saber planned to invite this person to dinner first to test the waters.

We'll talk about it later.

If he doesn't do it, then this meal can just be considered a debt collection dinner to get my deposit back, so he won't feel awkward. If he does do it, then I can go pick it up later, and maybe even try to negotiate a lower price along the way.

Anyway, I just feel like I didn't lose out.

Huben never expected to receive an invitation from that foreign woman. It had been so long since they'd been in contact that Huben was convinced his deal was doomed.

This deal fell through, but the armor set was completed.

Of course, just because this foreign beauty is no longer needed doesn't mean it's completely useless.

Anyway, they're pretty, and they always manage to trick some people into buying them.

And if this foreign girl completely cuts off contact, Huben will feel like he's gotten a good deal. Even though he didn't sleep with her, she's already paid the deposit.

As long as the foreign woman doesn't want it, he'll consider himself to have received two sums of money.

Anyway, I won't lose money.

Now that the foreign girl has suddenly contacted him, Huben feels a bit lucky.

Luckily, I didn't sell it.

Otherwise, this would be really awkward.

Huben was in a hurry to go to dinner; this was a big client, and he couldn't possibly refuse. Besides, she was a stunningly beautiful woman—what reason did he have not to go?

Huben was in a hurry to eat but didn't notice that a little tail was following him.

To be precise, this tail is quite large.

It's quite big.

An excavator operator.

After the Honkai infection, his best fate is to become Honkai zombie. Because he was discovered last time and had to leave immediately, the Demon in the Box also realized that he needed a new tool.

This tool is no longer usable.

A new tool, not needing to be deeply infected, just needing the opportunity to come into contact with the Valkyrie.

What kind of assistant do we need?

It's hard to find.

Moreover, things have suddenly become tense recently, and even the Demon in the Box has to be careful.

I'm definitely not going to be able to use this tool anymore; I need to find a new one before I'm discovered.

So what kind of person will be chosen as the next "tool" (or "supporting role")?

It should be at least stronger than this current tool.

The current tool isn't very strong.

Then it set its sights on Huben.

A man strong enough.

Whether it's frequent iron-hammering, fitness, or wrestling, these activities require a strong body, and these same activities can, in turn, help him become even stronger.

This man, who exuded power, thus entered the Demon in the Box's field of vision.

Now we need to secretly follow him and find a suitable opportunity.

Then erode him!

Then...

Why does that woman look more suitable?

Chapter 247 Look, look, look

Having already witnessed the woman's appetite, Huben naturally didn't show any surprise.

He could only vaguely express that he couldn't afford to raise them, and then he didn't intend to bring glory to the country anymore.

Of course, if he could, he would still be happy to have a purely sexual encounter to win glory for the country.

However, this foreign woman clearly had no interest in a challenge with him. Although they chatted happily at the dinner table, she showed absolutely no intention of getting to know him better.

Aside from eating, I also care about the armor and learn about full-armor combat.

This Huben was certainly a surprise.

But it also happened to be in his area of expertise, and since it's something he's good at, he should talk about it at length.

Huben himself described it as a lively and enthusiastic affair, but in reality, he also noticed that although the foreign woman said she was very interested, she actually had no interest at all.

She was mostly just trying to avoid embarrassment.

So Huben Ben, being quite sensible, felt that it was enough and took his leave.

Of course, the Saber had no intention of trying to persuade him to stay.

In reality, if it weren't for the sudden and prolonged lack of contact, Saber wouldn't have invited this Huben to this meal at all. Having already paid a deposit, Saber didn't think this guy would try to rip him off. Modern society is about contracts, but beyond contracts, there's also a human element. There are interpersonal relationships between people.

The reason why the Saber invited this guy was partly to give himself more connections.

Whether this connection will be useful in the future is hard to say.

Saber, chopsticks in hand, watched Huben's departing figure.

I'm going to get the armor tomorrow.

I wonder what kind of armor this seemingly confident Huben can make. If it's really good, we could make some modifications and specializations based on the armor he made.

In this way, she finally had her first set of Valkyrie armor that truly belonged to her.

"Ah~ I'm kind of looking forward to it," said the Saber.

Huben left the hot pot restaurant.

I was a little unsure of where to go, and my performance this year hasn't been great. Closing this deal is a huge relief.

Otherwise, even though I wanted to swindle this deal.

But with the market like this year, even if you want to sell to someone, you need someone to buy it.

This isn't exactly a mass-market consumer product, so finding a buyer willing to take it on is quite difficult. Plus, armor requires frequent maintenance.

It's not only time-consuming, but also expensive.

It's a money-losing proposition if you keep it in your hands.

They finally made a move, and this huge weight has finally been lifted off their shoulders.

Huben wasn't in a hurry to go back, but instead strolled slowly down the street.

As darkness fell, the number of pedestrians on the street increased, then decreased again. Changkong City finally began its true nightlife under the cover of night.

The act of creating a human being, whether by sleeping or not.

Huben also felt that they had gone far enough and planned to return.
