The Master Cosplayer in the World of Honkai Impact 3rd

Li Pu was secretly delighted that Mei had finally changed her strategy; this was exactly the approach Li Pu had hoped for.

She wasn't in a hurry. Finally, carrying the momentum of her recent small victory, she stabilized her footing and mindset, and began to spar with Mei.

Otto, watching from the sidelines, noted every change on Li Pu's side, from the initial standoff to the current exchange of blows.

She's grown so fast!

Otto said, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. Her growth rate is much faster than I predicted.

In simulated battles, it wasn't that difficult to achieve overwhelming victories. Both the Guard Honkai Evolved and the Ranger Honkai Evolved had very obvious weaknesses.

These weaknesses were their slow movements and monotonous attacks.

The combat patterns of these two types of Honkai Evolved were very easy to figure out: target acquisition, attack, evasion. There was practically nothing special about them.

Furthermore, in terms of attack methods, the Guard Honkai Evolved only had the sweeping slash.

The Ranger Honkai Evolved, in addition to its archery attacks, also had a close-range dagger counter.

Either of them was easy to understand.

But people were different!

Neither their flexibility nor their tactical awareness could compare to these two. Being able to achieve overwhelming victories against these enemies didn't guarantee the same against Valkyries.

Of course, there could be exceptions.

For example, Siegfried was timid against both types of Honkai Evolved.

But he went all out when sparring with Kiana.

And Li Pu seemed to follow this pattern more closely, achieving overwhelming victories against Honkai Evolved and being timid against Mei.

It wasn't exactly timidity, but compared to the overwhelming victories at the beginning, her current performance wasn't particularly impressive.

She's adapting very quickly!

Otto watched the battle closely. But that weapon... it looks very strange...

Otto felt that the long spear Li Pu was holding seemed a bit unusual. Even if its appearance was strange, the feeling it gave off was even stranger!

Setting aside where she got the weapon, let's talk about the design of this spear.

It was truly uncommon.

It's definitely not an ordinary weapon!

Otto quickly reached a conclusion.

No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem like an ordinary weapon.

"Rita!" Otto suddenly said softly. "Go investigate! Find out what kind of spear Arthur is holding!"

He hadn't heard of people being able to casually obtain weapons from their past lives, but in this life, they could indeed use weapons from their past lives proficiently.

"Yes, Lord Otto." Rita appeared like a ghost and then vanished like a ghost, without attracting anyone's attention.

Except for Fu Hua!

"Transfer student!" Himeko keenly noticed that Fu Hua was zoning out!

This was an excellent opportunity to instantly break the stalemate between the two sides.

Even though this was just a sparring session.

Himeko had no intention of letting this chance slip away!

"You zoned out!"

Seizing this perfect opportunity, she raised her greatsword high and swung it. Fu Hua reacted instantly, crossing her arms in front of her.

But it was already too late!

Himeko used a greatsword, and had always followed a strength-based approach from the start.

Technique was all虚 (xū - empty/vain)! Powerful strength was the only way to break through everything.

If you didn't break through the enemy with one strike, it must be because your strength wasn't enough!

The heavy sword swung down, colliding with Fu Hua's gauntlets. The immense force sent Fu Hua, who had just recovered from her momentary distraction and was caught off guard, flying out of the ring.

"On the battlefield, your enemies won't be as merciful as this,"

Himeko said, carrying her greatsword. "You need to learn to concentrate, transfer student."

"Yes, I understand," Fu Hua replied without arguing. "I will work twice as hard."

"Mhm." Himeko nodded.

She scanned the other training grounds.

She had to admit that among the new batch of Valkyries, he was the most outstanding.

"From today, you will be the squad leader of this class," Himeko said. "You need to ensure your classmates train diligently."

"In the future, the enemies you face will not show you such mercy as they did today."

"I understand," Fu Hua said sincerely.

"Teacher Himeko."

Chapter 67: Your Armor, My Armor

"Yee-haw~ A new day!"

He got up, washed his face, and brushed his teeth, all in one go.

Even though it was the weekend, Li Pu didn't plan on sleeping in.

This wasn't because he was particularly disciplined or anything. It was because he had something very important to do today. So, getting up early was quite necessary for him.

"Today's instant noodles can still have two eggs."

Counting on his fingers, he realized payday was just two days away. His bonus would also be coming soon, so recently he could afford to be quite extravagant and add two more eggs to his instant noodles each time.

Once the salary came in, it wouldn't just be two extra eggs!

He, Li Pu, could finally order takeout every day!

Yep, getting more extravagant each time.

Breakfast was instant noodles with two eggs and a two-and-a-half-yuan sausage. Adding a couple of lettuce leaves and some bok choy for garnish also added a touch of fresh greens.

And just like that, a rich and luxurious breakfast was complete.

He ate it with a heart full of excitement.

He pulled open his closet...

"Oh, for crying out loud..." Li Pu looked at the clothes in his closet and his mood instantly soured. "Why... are they all women's clothes?!"

"Oh... right, I bought them with Kiana last time."

Li Pu suddenly understood.

He didn't have many clothes to begin with.

This was the honest truth! He had maybe two or three sets of winter clothes and only one or two sets of summer clothes. After starting his job, he got a formal suit and a work uniform, and that was about it.

Besides, his usual habits weren't great; he'd toss things around carelessly and leave them everywhere.

Many times when he looked for clothes to wear, he couldn't find clean ones, or he simply couldn't find a complete set or anything that matched. Sometimes, he couldn't find clothes at all.

Today was no exception.

But there was an exception.

And that was the women's clothing!

He had barely worn them since buying them. Once he tidied them up and put them in the closet, he hardly touched them again. So now, the only complete, clean outfits he could wear were these women's clothes...

"What the heck..." Li Pu looked at these neat and tidy women's clothes that he hadn't worn since buying them.

Then he looked at his own clothes, tossed around haphazardly, either too dirty to wear or unsuitable.

"I... have no clothes to wear!"

For the first time, Li Pu let out a phrase that sounded like something a girlfriend or a girl would say.

Old Oriental Hot Pot Restaurant.

A bald man, tall and sturdy with a square head and large ears, gazed deeply at the rich red soup in front of him. Was this chili? Was this chili? This... wasn't chili, was it?

It looked like it was very spicy, but it was actually tomato soup.

The bald man felt a tiny bit embarrassed.

He didn't know what others thought, maybe others didn't care about this at all. But he felt it was completely out of character for him! A man who was 1.8 meters tall, weighed over 95 kilograms, and had nearly 75% muscle mass.

A solid, burly man who couldn't eat spicy food!

Yes! He just couldn't eat spicy food.

Perhaps it was because his work environment was often hot and sweaty, filled with muscles and strength. So, in terms of diet, he couldn't tolerate anything particularly spicy.

He usually ate bland food.

This time, he had a big order and was meeting a client.

According to some special cultural concepts of the Chinese people, if the drinking and dining at the table were good, the deal was basically done. Hot pot was undoubtedly the best way to create a lively atmosphere.

It was hot, fragrant, spicy, and delicious. Over drinks, a few words could seal the deal.

But what if his client could eat a lot of spicy food? What if they looked down on people who couldn't eat spicy food?

Or what if they felt he, a burly man, couldn't handle spice?

'I must be overthinking it.' The burly man shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind. Not being able to eat spicy food was what he considered his biggest flaw.

What if his client also couldn't eat spicy food?

"Minnie isn't here yet?"

A chubby guy very willingly, without being invited by anyone, sat down in front of the burly man and said, "Brother Hu came really early today!"

This chubby guy was a photographer he had met through Minnie. His skills were exceptional.

Of course, this was limited to photographing beautiful women.

Or he could create beautiful women through photography and Photoshop. Minnie was his client and partner. Minnie could also be considered one of his clients.

Although Minnie had a bit of a desire to develop herself into his client.

But he refused.

"You didn't bring any women with you today," the burly man said, somewhat surprised.

This little fatty was not only a photographer but also a pimp. At least, that's what the burly man thought. He knew that besides wanting to cooperate, he also had the idea of developing clients.

"Oh?" the little fatty narrowed his eyes into slits and said, "Then I'll make a call..."

"No need!" the burly man said, crossing his arms. "Huben doesn't like women!"

To be precise, he didn't like the women the little fatty brought.

This little fatty had rather unique taste, not conforming to mainstream aesthetics. He really liked women who were at least medium build, including heavy builds. The lightest he recommended was medium build.

The burly man didn't like medium builds, so the business wouldn't work out.

"Hahaha~" the little fatty laughed. Of course, he knew what Huben meant and could only laugh awkwardly.

"Women, the fatter the better," the little fatty still strongly recommended. "If they're too thin, you can't feel anything. It's completely unsatisfying."

"Why hasn't the person Minnie introduced arrived yet?" Huben immediately changed the subject.

He really didn't want to talk about this woman with this little fatty. If it weren't for meeting this client for the first time, they would need an intermediary to introduce each other.

Minnie couldn't come, so only this little fatty could.

He was genuinely very willing to meet the client directly, bypassing this fatty.

"This..."

The little fatty scratched his head, took out his phone, and said, "I'll ask. They should have arrived. Judging by Brother Li's accent, he doesn't sound like a local. I estimate they probably can't find the place right now."
