Qianjie's Envy and Admiration (Continued)

"Bai Ge, give me back my mask, quickly."

The next second, Kalpas immediately reached out to Bai Ge for the mask, because he felt that he was really about to lose his composure.

He usually hides his face behind a mask.

Whether you're angry, happy, or sad, you don't need to control your expression at all, since no one will be able to see it anyway.

However, this also resulted in his poor ability to manage his facial expressions.

Probably no one would have guessed that Kalpas is actually a person with a very rich facial expression, completely different from the cold-faced man that most people imagine.

"No, I'll take this mask as payment and souvenir for today. Hmm, you're really getting a good deal."

As Bai Ge spoke, he washed the Kalpas Tribulations Tyrant Mask, put it on his face, and asked Ling beside him.

"So? Is it suitable for me?"

"Yeah! Brother-in-law, you're super handsome!"

"Haha, Rin has such a sweet tongue. It seems that even if it's just to make you my sister, I'll still marry Sakura in the future."

Bai Ge raised his hand and patted Ling's head, also giving Kalpas a demonstration on how to properly pat someone's head. There's a lot to learn about this, Kalpas, you're still too green.

"Damn it, you bastard."

"Kalpas, please calm down. By the way, I remember you also have a mask."

Aponia immediately added a precept to Kalpas's name, then seemed to have thought of something and said...

"Huh?!"

"It's the mask that Bai Ge gave you back then."

"..."

Kalpas fell silent for a moment, then quietly turned his head away.

Bai Ge blinked in surprise and said.

"Huh? The mask I gave you? Uh, didn't you say it was burned by the flames?"

"Really? But I clearly saw Kalpas keep him in his storage box last time."

"Aponia, please shut up!"

"Haha, what? So you cherished it so much? And then you said it got burned? Kalpas is too arrogant."

Bai Ge couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Snort!"

Unable to say anything, Kalpas could only let out a heavy snort, thinking to himself, "What can I do? Bai Ge, that mask you gave me is too fragile. I almost broke it the first time I wore it on a mission. I didn't cherish it at all."

In the end, Bai Ge still constructed a mask for Kalpas.

However, this time it's not Tiga or Mad King, but a card featuring the mask of Survival-Dragon Knight.

"Why are there strange masks again?"

"Just tell me whether you're going to wear it or not."

"..."

In the end, Kalpas still put it on his face. Bai Ge thought to himself that this guy was all talk and no action.

After that, they simply started exploring together.

Bai Ge treated Ling and the children from the sanatorium to a fun-filled day at a nearby amusement park, followed by a sumptuous dinner at a nearby restaurant.

"Everyone, please don't waste food."

Aponia is giving the children "gentle" advice.

Even though Ling is usually a very picky eater, she had no choice but to obediently finish the dishes she didn't like after being told to eat them.

(Rin: "Ah, for some reason I always feel that this Aponia mother is scary in a certain way. I feel that disobeying her will definitely be terrible. Ugh, looks like I have no choice but to eat her...")

On the other side, Bai Ge was trying to get Kalpas to drink.

Bai was eager to see what this hot-tempered guy was like when he was drunk. Anyway, he only provoked him a little, and the straightforward Kalpas fell for it and started drinking with him.

Becoming Fusion Warrior does not increase immunity to alcohol, a fact already proven in Eden's case.

Although that Golden Singer loved drinking, he was equally prone to getting drunk both before and after becoming Fusion Warrior. However... it's also possible that he only got drunk easily in front of Bai Ge.

After downing a case of baijiu, Kalpas felt a little dizzy. He shook his head and suddenly spoke.

"Bai Ge... do you have something bothering you... or someone you hate? Tell me, and I... will kill them for you."

"Uh, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"Hmph, who told me I don't know anything else besides fighting?"

Kalpas said, taking another swig of wine.

He then looked at his hands with some disgust. He wanted to do something to repay the White Youth in front of him, but after thinking it over, Kalpas realized that he was only good at killing.

Bai Ge patted his shoulder reassuringly, then picked up a bottle of baijiu and drank it like water.

(Sharp...)

Watching him easily finish the strong liquor in one gulp, the face behind the Kalpas Tribulations Mask revealed an expression of admiration.

"It's okay, we can learn things slowly. Anyway, once humanity defeats the Honkai and peace arrives, we'll have plenty of time to do what we want. Sigh~"

"Hmm? Why are you sighing?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the next Honkai might be a bit difficult. I've been having a headache lately."

Bai Ge tapped his head and said.

"What? The Herrscher below are that powerful? You actually think you can't beat them?"

Kalpas's eyes widened in surprise.

He even crushed the wine bottle in his hand.

In the heart of this mad king, the White Youth before him was the strongest person in the world, and he could hardly imagine what enemy in the world could defeat Bai Ge.

After hearing what Bai said, Kalpas found himself experiencing a sense of "shaking of faith".

Bai Ge rolled his eyes and opened another bottle of wine.

"Who says I can't beat her? She's just the Ninth Herrscher. I'll let her easily defeat me with both hands. It's just that... saving everyone this time is a bit difficult. I haven't come up with a foolproof way yet. Ugh, headache, this is tough."

"Save everyone... You're still so greedy, Bai Ge. Is it really necessary?"

Kalpas clenched her hands and stared at him, asking.

"Well, to be honest... there's no need for that."

Bai Ge chuckled and shook his head. This answer made Kalpas's eyes widen behind the mask, almost thinking he had misheard.

However, Bai Ge didn't actually need to do that.

After all, it doesn't matter how many people die; to him, it's just the "first game."

In this round, all he needs to do is gather intelligence, figure out who the Herrscher is, when the Great Honkai will occur, and then use that intelligence to perfectly complete the "second round" of the game.

It doesn't matter if hundreds of thousands, millions, or even hundreds of millions of people die, because as long as the cycle begins, everything will be reset to the point before the tragedy occurred.

Therefore, Bai Ge didn't really need to worry; he could have simply let the Herrscher of Earth descend and destroy the Mu Continent.

He doesn't even need to go on stage himself. He can just send Elysia, Sakura, Hua, Kevin, Kalpas to deal with the Herrscher while he sits in the command room and watches the show.

After all, everything can be started over.

He will eventually be able to save everyone.

Therefore, Bai Ge doesn't need to go all out in the "first game" as a trial run.

But...

"Although it's unnecessary, I hate it when tragedy happens in front of me and I can't do anything about it, so I will try to change things and save lives. I won't let anyone die, and I believe I can do it."

"... Bai Ge, I have a piece of advice for you. You'd better give up the idea of saving everyone. If you keep pushing yourself so hard, then one day when you fail to save anything, this place of yours... will be very painful."

Kalpas pointed to his heart and said.

He experienced that kind of pain when the Fifth Herrscher descended and killed 383 people in his village.

That was a feeling more agonizing than death, even for someone like me, let alone Bai Ge.

However, the White Youth chuckled softly.

"I won't give up~ Have a little faith in me, Kalpas. I'm your savior, and I've already succeeded twice. Anyway, it's just creating another Miracle???. Just believe in me."

"... You've always been like this."

Kalpas took a deep breath and sighed. Behind the mask, he looked at Bai Ge with indescribable envy in his eyes.

This boy always manages to save everyone, easily accomplishing things that Kalpas wouldn't even dare to dream of. It seems there's no tragedy in this world he can't change.

Kalpas deeply envied Bai Ge.

Knowing how powerful he was, Kalpas would unconditionally obey Bai Ge's orders on every mission. Otherwise, even Dr. Mei would never be able to get this hot-tempered guy to obey.

"Since you insist on pursuing so-called perfection, Bai Ge, then so be it. Just tell me what to do. Whether it's Honkai Beast or Herrscher, as long as you tell me who the target is, I'll tear them apart!"
