Raven and Rita Compete to Be Bartenders

It's better to be safe than sorry. What if Mei while Chen Luo is bathing the little fox, and then goes up to the second floor, and Chen Luo doesn't see her?

And one can imagine that bathing the little fox must have been quite a struggle.

As for why they specifically sought out Mei, it was to discuss how to rescue, or rather release, Raiden Mei's father from Anti-Entropy.

Raiden Mei's father was ostensibly imprisoned for economic fraud, but in reality, it was just a power struggle among the Harbinger.

In short, Cocolia tricked Raiden Ryoma into entering the Anti-Entropy in order to further control it.

Now that Cocolia is Chen Luo's person, getting Raiden Ryoma out of prison won't be too much of a problem.

In fact, the biggest obstacle to Raiden Ryoma's release from prison was Cocolia.

Chen Luo himself is not afraid that after the Raiden Ryoma comes out, it will defeat Cocolia and take over.

However, in that case, the value of Cocolia as a doll would drop sharply, since Cocolia, who cannot fully control Anti-Entropy, is just one of the Anti-Entropy executors.

But in reality, even Cocolia couldn't fully control Anti-Entropy before.

The Anti-Entropy conservatives are quite powerful.

Besides, practically all the mechs are now under Chen Luo's control. It doesn't matter who's in charge.

Of course, if possible, using Cocolia is the most convenient, since as Chen Luo's puppet, the other party cannot raise any objections.

However, as time went on, the importance of Anti-Entropy decreased sharply in Chen Luo's eyes.

The main issue is that Chen Luo doesn't live in the Honkai World, so whether or not there's Anti-Entropy makes little difference.

Furthermore, if you really want to survive in the Honkai World, then going to find Anti-Entropy is not as good as going to find Schicksal.

The premise is that Chen Luo can revive Kallen first.

In short, releasing the Raiden Ryoma had no effect on Chen Luo.

Furthermore, out of concern for his friend, Chen Luo also hoped that Raiden Mei could reunite with her father.

After all, if you think about it carefully, the fact that Raiden Mei turned into the Herrscher of Thunder after her father was arrested shows the true nature of the Father-Daughter between Raiden Mei and Raiden Ryoma.

However, Chen Luo suddenly thought that if Raiden Ryoma were to be restored to the position of Harbinger, would Raiden Ryoma have to work every day again?

Hmm, it's decided. Cocolia will secretly release Raiden Ryoma first, then use the power of Anti-Entropy to launch a full-scale manhunt for Raiden Ryoma.

Finally, they threw Raiden Ryoma into the St. Freya Academy.

This way, Raiden Mei and Raiden Ryoma can be Father-Daughter, and since Raiden Ryoma, who is wanted by the police, certainly can't go to work, he can spend more time with Raiden Mei.

"I'm such a genius!" Chen Luo couldn't help but admire the idea.

How many outstanding young people of the new century are there in the world as intelligent and considerate as myself?

As for Raiden Ryoma's wishes?

That doesn't matter, as long as Mei is happy.

This would be a good opportunity to pair up Raiden Ryoma and Welt.

From now on Welt, who is constantly dying and coming back to life, will be the responsible history teacher.

Raiden Ryoma, a tough guy who can build mecha with his bare hands, becomes a physics teacher and also gives Raiden Mei a crash course, teaching her how to use electromagnetic force.

After all, Raiden Ryoma can't just stay at the St. Freya Academy eating and not do any work.

However, it turned out that Chen Luo was overthinking things.

Bathing the little fox was indeed a troublesome task, because the little fox didn't like getting wet. However, tempted by Chen Luo's two plates of fried tofu, the little fox willingly went into the water.

That's why Chen Luo doesn't have to worry about the little fox getting angry at all. No matter how angry she is, giving her a plate of fried tofu will immediately make her happy, and at most, he'll give her another plate.

This little fox was truly under Chen Luo's thumb, and he had it completely under his control.

Knowing that the fox was a scoundrel, Mei didn't come after taking a bath to get rid of the smell.

Of course, no one else came either.

So, out of sheer boredom, Chen Luo took out the Herrscher Core and started drying the little fox's body. A towel alone wouldn't be enough; a hairdryer was needed, but Chen Luo didn't have one.

When using a hair dryer, it's best to use the hot air setting. Chen Luo doesn't even have a hair dryer, let alone the hot air setting.

So Chen Luo decided to use the Herrscher Core Flame core and wind elemental power to create a simple hair dryer for the little fox.

"Little fox, don't mind, we're a bit poor and can't afford a hairdryer," Chen Luo said while brushing the little fox's fur.

Chen Luo did have a hairdryer, Chen Luo did have one among the scrap he picked up in Changkong City, but the problem was that there was no plug in Chen Luo's shop. How could he use a hairdryer without a plug?

Use Electro element power?

Maybe... it's not impossible.

"Excuse me, what's that thing in your hand? It looks a lot like the Plague Gem." Raven, who was sitting with Chen Luo the bar, looked at the gem in Chen Luo's hand that showed a huge Great Honkai energy reaction and couldn't help but ask.

"Have you seen the Plague Gem?" Chen Luo asked casually.

"The main Schicksal is that there should be World Serpent spies on the Schicksal side as well. Spies are very common. Whether it's Anti-Entropy World Serpent or Schicksal, they all plant spies in each other. So Schicksal 've heard about the huge theft case that caused Schicksal Headquarters to have a lot of trouble for several days. One of the missing items was the Plague Gem, a gem that controls the power of fire." Raven couldn't help but take another look at the Plague Gem in Chen Luo's hand.

"I have also seen pictures of the Plague Gem, and it looks very, very similar to the gem in your hand."

It's quite normal for Schicksal World Serpent and the Anti-Mortal, as the three major organizations fighting against the Honkai, to have spies on each other.

Of course, World Serpent may not have spies from the other two organizations, because World Serpent only has a few people inside, and most of the work is done by Grey Serpent.

Even if there are spies within World Serpent, they are only subordinate agencies.

Just like hotels belonging to the World Serpent industry, there may be people with Schicksal, but they are definitely not infiltrated into the inner circle.

Grey Serpent is an intelligence agent; if Schicksal were to plant an important spy in him, Grey Serpent would be finished.

"That's right, you guessed it. What I have in my hand is indeed the Plague Gem. Do you want it? I can give you one," Chen Luo said.

"Give me one?" Raven was truly flattered. Was this bar really that amazing? Could they just give away Plague Gem so easily?

"Of course, the power output is roughly equivalent to the explosion of a Honkai Crystal. You can treat it as a Honkai grenade, or like me, as a hairdryer. Anyway, it's impossible to become Herrscher with it, since these are all fakes," Chen Luo said.

However, the hair dryer that Chen Luo was using was indeed genuine.

But Chen Luo can manufacture counterfeits.

"Oh, never mind then." Raven instantly lost interest.

"Ding-a-ling!" The wind chimes rang out.

But what appeared before Chen Luo not Raiden Mei, whom he had expected, but... Bianca and Rita.

"Durandal, long time no see. Oh, no, we already met yesterday." Chen Luo greeted her while using the Plague Gem to groom the little fox's fur.

"Long time no see." Durandal nodded and led Rita to the bar.

"Hmm, wait, you..." When Durandal was standing at a distance, she couldn't see clearly, but when she got closer, she immediately noticed the Plague Gem that Chen Luo Durandal holding, which he used to groom the little fox.

Durandal turned to look at Rita and found that Rita was also looking at her. After exchanging a glance, they both sat down in silence at the bar.

"Although... never mind, let's have two cups of black tea." Durandal wanted to say something, but in the end, she couldn't say anything.

Black tea is one of Rita's favorite drinks.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Durandal wanted to say that although she knew you were highly suspected of being an accomplice of the criminals who caused havoc at the Schicksal Headquarters, you didn't have to be so blatant about it, with me right here.

Although it is unknown who performed the data entry, the computer records left by Chen Luo when he joined the Immortal Blades show that the data entry was performed at the Schicksal Headquarters.

It's unlikely that Chen Luo had no connection with that prisoner.

In fact, the Durandal brought Otto and the others to the bar yesterday was because of this matter.

But who knew that, as they talked, Otto would sell out the entire Schicksal.

Although the sale hasn't been completed yet, the probability of a deal being finalized in the future is not small.

Furthermore, since Otto himself didn't want to pursue the matter any further, Durandal naturally didn't want to get involved either.

But, but... can't you, a prisoner, have even a little bit of self-awareness?

At least avoid people! You bastard!

Rita is still here!

Because it was Rita who had this mishap.

Sigh, Durandal must think that this kind of mishap will be a big blow to Rita.

It's okay, just don't make the same mistake again.

Durandal believed in herself as a vice-captain who was perfect in every way.

A rollover? Not a chance!

Chapter 221 Raven and Rita's Bartender Competition

While waiting for their black tea Durandal and Rita didn't pay any attention to it.

Rita was staring intently at the Plague Gem in Chen Luo's hand, the gem that represented her only defeat.

Rita still can't figure out who colluded with Chen Luo to steal the gem. At the time, Chen Luo must have been eliminating the Militants and Honkai Beasts in Changkong City, a fact that Durandal can attest to. So, who was it that caused the Schicksal Headquarters?

But arguing about this now seems pointless, because it might not be long before Otto gives the entire Schicksal to Chen Luo.

Although some ignorant people from Schicksal other three great families might say that Schicksal belongs to the three great families, etc.

But Rita, who had done a lot of dirty work, knew just how terrifying Otto's control over the entire Schicksal was.

In theory, Schicksal does indeed belong to the three major families, but the entire Schicksal, including himself and Durandal, are Otto's pawns.

Therefore, if Bishop Otto truly wanted to pass on the Schicksal, he could indeed do so.

Very well, Chen Luo, right? I'll remember this defeat.

Next time, I'll definitely take the victory back from you.

Although Rita seems polite to everyone, Rita actually has her own pride as one of the three S-rank Valkyrie of Schicksal.

Losing is fine, but you can't not even know how you lost.

At the very least, we need to know who the other person who caused chaos at the Schicksal Headquarters is.

Invincible Sister Ta, please don't mess up again!

[Ding! You have a new request!]

[Miss Rita Doesn't Want to Lose]: Knowing that Chen Luo was the accomplice, Rita wanted to know who she had lost to, who had caused such a ruckus at the Schicksal Headquarters, and who had made her lose so completely.

Reward: 200 Primogem + random reward

Difficulty: Two stars

"..."

This woman, Sister Ta, is really good at pretending to be calm.

Chen Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Luo looked at Sister Ta Zi in front of him and felt that she was not thinking anything and was looking at him in a very gentle and friendly way, but in her heart she was thinking about how to get something out of him.

As expected of you, Sister Ta.

But her mission... how should I put it?

If you say it's easy to complete, it really is; if you say it's difficult to complete, it's a little troublesome.

After all, revealing the Herrscher of Knowledge of Herrscher of Knowledge before we've had our fill of playing with her is really not very ethical.

It seems that Sister Ta is quite obsessed with her failed attempt; in addition to the 200 Primogem quest, she even added a random reward.

It's okay, Sister Ta. You don't need to be so worried and anxious about making a mistake once in a while. Anyway... you'll make mistakes a lot more often in the future.

The reward for the request from Sister Ta is indeed generous, but the task isn't easy to complete right now. But regardless of whether I finish it or not, I'll accept it first. After a few days, once I've gotten tired of playing with the Herrscher of Knowledge, I'll just tell Rita the truth.

Rita is currently in a daze because of her car accident.

As for what Durandal is thinking...

"Chen Luo, if I may ask, is that bard over there some kind of special sight? I came by around noon today, and he was lying right here." After hesitating for a long time, Durandal finally asked Chen Luo.

This isn't actually the first day Durandal has been to the bar; she came once before, around noon.
