"We only got tenth place, right? That's not bad for a rookie team!"
This Huben and his Huben Regiment, Siegfried, actually knew each other. He had also paid attention to Full Armor Combat. The Nations' War was also a very famous event in the Full Armor Combat world.
To place in the Nations' War, even if it was just trailing behind in his previous life, could be considered a very excellent team.
This included not only physical ability and tactics, but also armor quality.
Unfortunately, none of that mattered in front of a Valkyrie.
"Forget about it, kid," Siegfried whispered into Huben's ear. "I personally like your team a lot, but Artoria is not a woman you can have."
"Whatever you want to do, just save your energy!"
After speaking, he pushed Huben forward and said, "It's nice to meet you, nice to meet you!"
"You... your friend is quite something." The chubby guy clearly noticed the subtle atmosphere. He noticed a bruise on Huben's hand and the cold sweat on his forehead, along with his pained grimace trying to force a smile.
"He looks like he can fight."
"Of course he can fight," Artoria said. "If he couldn't fight, he wouldn't be Siegfried."
"We definitely have to try this hot pot, have to try~" Siegfried consciously sat down, directly between Huben and Artoria. "For this meal, brothers, I feel a bit embarrassed to just eat for free like this."
"Cuihua~ Bring the menu, let me order a couple more dishes."
"Order more meat!" Artoria said without hesitation. "I like beef, and also potatoes and noodles."
Artoria wasn't exactly the best at reading the room, but she knew one thing. Siegfried being here was likely not a coincidence.
Since he was being so generous, she wouldn't hold back.
"Can you even finish ordering so much food?" Siegfried looked at Artoria and said, "Be careful not to get fat."
It wouldn't be good if my Cecilia got fat.
"You need to know that when marching to war, supplies are the top priority," Artoria said. "The Great Dynasty said, 'When the army moves, provisions go first.' Food is the most basic way to ensure soldier morale."
"Although we're not marching to war now, I'm not greedy! I swear I'm definitely not greedy for a bite to eat."
"But sufficient food supply is a very important matter!"
"Hunger is the great enemy!"
Having been a person of the Great Dynasty in her past life, and now again in this one. She strictly followed the principle of 'Can this be eaten? How can this be made delicious?' If it could be eaten for free, she would definitely eat until she could barely walk.
She wouldn't feel any guilt about freeloading off Siegfried.
"Alright," Siegfried said as he looked at the menu and casually ordered all the most expensive meats. "Speaking of which, since you plan to forge your own armor."
"Why don't you go find Otto?"
"As the Grand Bishop of Schicksal," Siegfried said, "and also the current Grand Governor, a high-ranking official. You can ask him to forge a new set of armor for you."
"Besides, Otto also collects your old Valkyrie armors. If you want them, he has no reason not to give them to you."
"Oh... if you say so," Artoria thought about it seriously. "No!"
"I don't want that armor, I need this kind of ordinary armor."
"It has other uses."
Artoria didn't want to dress up like a knight from that era. If she really needed to face Honkai Beasts.
She would find some modern standard protective gear to wear, or wear a Valkyrie armor.
If she had one.
"Speaking of which," Siegfried said again, "I just heard you say you plan to get a 'Sword of Victory and Oath'. If you want that, why don't you go find Otto?"
"He knows where to find that sword, not someone else."
Siegfried glanced at Huben.
"To forge you a fake."
Chapter 70: This is Possible
Ah... my Cecilia...
Siegfried touched his chest.
He claimed he wasn't feeling the pain in his wallet, but he really was a little heartbroken.
What does it mean to be able to eat?
What does it mean to be a big eater?
Even Huben, who wanted to court Artoria, was taken aback. If Artoria kept eating like this, the entire profit from buying a set of armor would be spent on food expenses.
And it was the kind where you eat, and they watch, not feeling hungry.
This table full of dishes.
The same dishes were ordered three times!
Ninety-nine percent of it went into Artoria's stomach. Three servings of fried rice, two were eaten by Artoria, and one was shared among the three men.
Huben patted Siegfried on the shoulder.
"Brother, I have high hopes for you," Huben said earnestly. "As for me, I won't be bringing glory to our nation."
'You wouldn't be able to anyway,' Siegfried scoffed, glancing at Huben with disdain.
'Why has Cecilia become such a big eater all of a sudden?'
"Speaking of which, are you really not considering it?" Siegfried asked. "Going to claim the true Sword of Victory and Oath."
"No, I mean, buddy," Artoria hadn't replied yet, but Huben interjected, "Are you kidding me? This thing actually has a real one and a fake one?"
"Of course, it exists," Siegfried said. "There is a real one of this sword."
"It's just that ordinary people can't get it."
'And can't see it.'
Siegfried thought to himself.
There were many legendary ancient divine weapons in this world, and each of them was an incredibly powerful weapon. Naturally, powerful weapons also required people with matching strength to wield them.
How could one prove their ability to use these powerful weapons?
It naturally required passing some rather stringent certifications.
As one of King Arthur's former swords, it was also not something everyone could use.
"I believe you should be able to pick it up," Siegfried said. "And use the real one."
"Are you genuinely just recommending that Excalibur to me?" Artoria asked, propping her head up and squinting at Siegfried. "Do you have no other intentions besides wanting me to get Excalibur?"
"Of course not," Siegfried laughed heartily. "What are you talking about? What other intentions could I possibly have?"
"Liar," Artoria said. "You definitely do."
"It's for Cecilia, isn't it."
"Hahaha~" Siegfried chuckled foolishly. "Cecilia is Cecilia, and you are you. I can still tell the difference between those who have passed and those who are still alive."
"I won't confuse the two."
"Oh~" Artoria crossed her arms.
To be honest.
She didn't believe it!
She absolutely didn't believe Siegfried had no other intentions. He probably just wanted to take this opportunity to confirm whether what Otto said was true.
Moreover, for her, Artoria, this wasn't a sure thing with no downsides.
If Artoria was the real deal, then naturally she could wield Excalibur, but she was just a fake.
It was really hard to say whether she could obtain the real Excalibur without going through the System.
"Fine," Artoria said. "I can do that."
Artoria quickly figured out the problem. For her, the potential gains far outweighed the losses. If she couldn't get it or use it, at most it would just prove she was a fake, and nothing else.
Besides, she was already a fake, so proving it again wouldn't cause any loss at all.
But if she could pick it up and use it.
Then she would have a weapon she could use in the world of Honkai Impact 3rd!
And it would be an incredibly powerful divine weapon at that!
This was simply a zero-risk, high-reward situation!
"Let's order a bit more food," Artoria said cheerfully. "I feel like we're just a little bit short of being full."
"Still eating?!" Siegfried's mouth dropped open. "No... I mean..."
"What else do you want to eat?"
"Hmm..." Artoria said. "I want to eat..."
'Title acquired: King's Stomach. Effect: Appetite + MAX, gain one lottery chance.'
The System's voice chimed in at the opportune moment.
Artoria's eyes lit up immediately. She closed her eyes and entered the System.
This title, with its Appetite + MAX, was simply the most useless effect. It was a title she could take or leave. Artoria couldn't be bothered to care about it.
But this lottery chance was very important!
'What should I draw?' Li Pu thought as he looked at the interface in front of him within the System.
What should he draw?
The lottery items were 'Characters', 'Equipment', and 'Quests'. There was no need for further introduction. Li Pu had already drawn characters and equipment, but he had never drawn a quest.
He felt that among these three lottery options, only 'Characters' currently had the highest cost-effectiveness.
He hadn't drawn a quest before, so it was really hard to judge.
What should he draw in this new lottery?
'Hmm, I'll draw a character!' After much deliberation, Li Pu decided to draw a character again.
A character isn't necessarily a case of the more the merrier. From the current situation, you need to understand them, cosplay them, and perform as them. Only by achieving a high degree of restoration and understanding can you unleash their maximum combat effectiveness.
However, a character does have one advantage: once you obtain them, they are definitely usable.
Furthermore, as long as you equip them and understand the character's mindset.
You don't necessarily need to understand them perfectly; knowing a general direction is enough to unleash strong combat power.
Therefore, obtaining characters is still a very worthwhile endeavor at the moment.
"Get more characters!"
Li Pu decided without hesitation.
He directly wrote the character 'non' on the paper.
Hoping for a male character this time!
He'd even accept Darius!
"Artoria?" Siegfried looked at Artoria, who suddenly closed her eyes and fell silent, finding it very strange. What was she doing? Could it be that she had a change of heart and wasn't going to eat anymore?
If that were the case, it would be great; his wallet's last few bills would be saved.
No, he meant King Arthur, you need to pay attention to your image and figure.
Eating too much makes you fat!
"Are you ordering anything else?" Siegfried asked tentatively. "If you're not ordering, I'll call Cuihua over to settle the bill."
"Order!" Artoria suddenly opened her eyes and said, "I want! That meat, another round of all kinds of meat would be great."
"If you're going to eat, you have to eat until you're full."
And eat to your heart's content!
