"Um, why are you crying? I didn't do anything major."

Bai Ge scratched his head helplessly, not expecting Mei's emotional state to be so fragile at this point. No wonder the Herrscher of Thunder in the plot called her a 'crybaby.'

The current Raiden Mei was not yet the Herrscher of Thunder who would endure countless hardships and trials in the future. At this moment, she was just a poor girl suffering from school bullying.

"Alright, alright, making a girl cry isn't something I wanted to do."

"Okay, thank you, but you got your clothes dirty because of me, so please let me compensate you."

"To clarify, they weren't dirtied because of me, but by those bad guys. As for compensation, it's not necessary... um, cough, cough, but since you've said so, I'll accept this."

Just as Bai Ge was about to refuse, he saw something Mei was holding. After hesitating for half a second, he decisively chose the bento box from the 'cook.'

"I haven't had lunch yet~"

Fourth update, seeking collection and flowers for the new book.

Chapter Five, Mei's Bento is Delicious! (Seeking Collection)

"Hic! Not bad, not bad. As expected of the Herrscher of the Void's bento, delicious!"

After satisfyingly finishing Mei's lunch, Bai Ge patted his stomach with a joyful expression.

He felt that this transmigration was worth it, to be able to taste a homemade lunch from the 'Herrscher of the Void,' something only the protagonists of St. Freya got to experience.

He was already thinking about how to turn this girl into his long-term meal ticket. Although Bai Ge could also cook, he was still far inferior to Mei.

[As long as Young Master Host has that thought, this System believes it's a very simple matter. Moreover, with that heroic rescue just now, Raiden Mei's favorability towards you has skyrocketed.]

"Eh? That easy?"

[Obviously. I didn't expect Young Master Host to be such an experienced womanizer. You strike when the iron is hot, without a trace of hesitation.]

"Experienced womanizer my ass! I haven't even dated in two lifetimes combined, System. Are you mocking me?"

[...Um, alright. This System thought you had carefully considered your actions for a heroic rescue, but I didn't expect you to have no prior consideration at all. Young Master Host, your personality is more 'impulsive' than anticipated.]

Bai Ge rolled his eyes at the System's evaluation.

But he was self-aware enough to know that he wasn't rational and was easily swayed by emotions.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have turned back from a car accident he had already avoided, just for a little girl and a wailing mother, pushing that little loli out of the way without hesitation.

Bai Ge didn't regret it. It was as if good deeds were rewarded, and he had ended up transmigrating to this world by chance.

"Alright, what's the point of talking about this now? After school this afternoon, I'll explore the city. This unfortunate Changkong City won't last much longer."

Bai Ge patted his butt and stood up. Because his school uniform was dirty, he went to get a new one and also used the swimming club's shower room to take a bath.

However, until school ended in the afternoon.

He could faintly feel a gaze.

A gaze from Raiden Mei.

"Ah, this shouldn't be so easy, right? If we're talking about who's the best at 'giving away' things in Honkai Impact, isn't it always the Mother-in-law's Saniyat family?"

If things continued at this pace, he might max out Mei's affection before Kiana even shows up.

Could it be that... Fan Shi will be overjoyed? Bai Ge insisted he was a 'Pure Love God of War.'

After school.

Bai Ge left Senba Academy without delay and first went to the house assigned to him by the System, a small villa in the center of Changkong City.

"Although my System didn't give me any cheat skills, it did give me a house and a car... Damn, it still feels so low-level! Other Systems start off god-like, why do I have to work hard? I really don't want to work hard~"

After all, the Third Honkai is just around the corner. When Mei becomes the Herrscher of Thunder and the Great Honkai occurs, Bai Ge couldn't help but wonder if this house would even be safe.

Bai Ge: "Why is the villa flying?"

When the Herrscher of Thunder's magnetic storm descends, would his small villa still be intact? Bai Ge stated that he didn't want to end up like that little island-exploding crow, pacing, rolling, crying, and then saying, "No matter the cost, humanity will ultimately triumph over the Honkai."

So, even if only for the sake of his small villa, Bai Ge vowed to stop the Third Honkai!

After taking enough money from home, Bai Ge went out to shop. Fortunately, the identity the System arranged for him was that of a wealthy person, which saved him a lot of trouble.

After all, when Bai Ge transmigrated, besides the clothes on his back, all he had was a mobile phone and a single red banknote.

The phone couldn't connect to the internet, even with data turned on, and the red banknote was useless.

Bai Ge had turned it into a charm, a token of his connection to his previous world.

...Several hours later...

"Ah~ The technology in the Honkai world is much better than on Earth. I accidentally spent a lot of money shopping."

Even though Otto deliberately suppressed civilian technology to prevent civilization from developing too rapidly, the current civilization's technology was still superior to Bai Ge's original world.

Bai Ge bought a mobile phone, a notebook, and a pair of headphones. The former was for daily use, the middle one was for gaming, and the latter was purely out of interest.

Although the mobile phone from his original world was basically useless, he could still try to retrieve the data from its local storage. It wasn't any irreplaceable study material, but rather the tens of thousands of songs Bai Ge had accumulated and downloaded before transmigrating.

Life's four great hobbies were eating, sleeping, gaming, and listening to music. Bai Ge especially loved music.

In his own words, he considered himself a person with extremely discerning taste in music, enjoying both classical and pop. He had also basically taught himself most instruments. If he were to travel to the previous civilization now, Bai Ge felt confident he could go head-to-head with Elysia… only to be utterly crushed!

However, after browsing for so long, he hadn't actually done anything productive. Right now, this guy was using binoculars, hiding in an abandoned building, and observing ME Corp from afar.

"Tsk, so it's really been taken over by Cocolia's people. There are a lot of good things inside. Hmm, I hope they haven't been moved yet."

Fifth update, new book seeking flowers, seeking collections.

Chapter Six, Good Morning~ Raiden Mei Classmate (New book seeking collections!)

Although Mei believed her father, Raiden Ryoma, was definitely framed, it was regrettable that her father had indeed misappropriated 3.4 billion US dollars.

The purpose was to research weapons to prevent and save Mei from becoming a Herrscher in the future.

A famous example in the game is the katana 'Plasma Shadow Show,' which is said to be able to freeze Herrschers.

Bai Ge didn't believe any of this.

Were Herrschers really that low-profile? Not all Herrschers were like the Herrscher of Wind, who could be knocked out by three Titans. It would be strange if this was actually useful.

"Honestly, that was a blindingly awful move. Father-in-law, if you hadn't misused funds, you wouldn't have given Cocolia leverage to send you to prison, and Mei wouldn't be in this situation. This actually greatly accelerated her progress towards becoming the Herrscher of Thunder."

Moreover, those weapons ended up being useless, never appearing in the entire story… 3.4 billion US dollars, wasted just like that, what a spendthrift!

"And that Cocolia is also despicable. She's useless at everything except being number one in civil wars. Her 'Phantom God' performance in these civil wars is truly enough to make one's blood pressure skyrocket."

Images of all the trouble Cocolia caused in the early stages flashed through his mind, and Bai Ge crushed a corner of the binoculars in his hand, making a fierce note in his mental ledger.

If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely pin that vixen down and beat her soundly! He'd tell her that even if she looked good, it didn't mean she could be forgiven for everything she did!

Project X-10, the Honkai in Changkong City, Walter Joyce's clone, the harm caused to Wendy the Herrscher of Wind, and even Kevin could be considered freed by this woman, if you round up.

Her ability to cause trouble was already comparable to Otto's, but her actual competence was worse than Otto's by an entire solar system.

Archbishop Otto, although he deserved to die, at least knew his limits. But this Cocolia creature had no self-awareness at all, a Bronze thinking she was a King.

Bai Ge considered himself a very civilized person; even when cursing, he wouldn't be too vulgar. But this woman Cocolia, even if she went to the neighboring Honkai Star Rail, would still be a menace.

[Correct. To prevent this woman from causing any more trouble, it is recommended that Host capture her and lock her in a dark room, using her as a hot weapon day and night.]

"Ew, ew, ew~ Is that a system or a pornographic app? Also, I can't beat that vixen right now. I'll wait until I have a better opportunity. The priority now is to figure out how to get into ME Corp and grab some equipment."

Raiden Ryoma's research didn't just include Plasma Shadow Show. Otherwise, Bai Ge had reason to believe a large portion of that 3.4 billion US dollars was embezzled.

After thinking of over a dozen methods, Bai Ge decided to go home and sleep.

He was still just an ordinary person now. Sneaking into the ME Corp branch taken over by Cocolia was something he'd leave for when that certain Kiana showed up.

The best thing he could do now was to protect Raiden Mei from school bullying.

Becoming a Herrscher required not only absorbing a large amount of Honkai energy but also for the host body to possess a significant amount of negative emotions.

Whether in the previous or current civilization, the Herrschers that appeared were basically all due to suffering excessive mistreatment when they were human, being used as human experiment subjects, experiencing school bullying, being ostracized and hated by those around them, and so on.

Well, except for that pink fairy, Elysia was perfect!

Thinking about this, Bai Ge couldn't help but ponder.

"If these excessive things hadn't happened, if humans could treat their fellow beings kindly, if everyone lived in harmony and helped each other, would Herrschers even be born?"

[Host, it's not even dark, why are you already dreaming?]

"Screw you."

Of course, he was just thinking about it.

Although Bai Ge believed in the existence of beauty in this world, he wasn't naive enough to that extent.

After all, thinking about his past life's comment sections, he could find a 'thousand-person Herrscher' every few days. They were endless, truly endless.

The next day at Senba Academy.

Hi, good morning, Raiden.
