Honkai Impact

It's just...

If the weapons were stolen now, wouldn't that alert them? Reinforcements won't arrive until the day after tomorrow. If they discover the weapons are gone and leave Japan immediately, we won't be able to catch Mei, will we? Cocolia's main target is Mei; the gifts were just a bonus. After all, the Herrscher is the most important target.

After thinking for a long time, the man finally decided to give up. If he messed up Cocolia's plan, his position as team leader would be over.

Meanwhile, in the hot spring inn's courtyard, a mechanical dog was lying down. In terms of combat power, the mechanical dog was not much weaker than an A-rank Valkyrie. Moreover, there was a self-operating Project Bunny in the room. If that team leader had dared to come, Project Bunny and the mechanical dog could have destroyed him without Cocolia needing to fire him...

On the other side, the five of them continued shopping. Ling Feng also didn't forget to buy souvenirs for Tesla, but there didn't seem to be any real souvenirs, so he could only buy a few small gifts. However, he didn't know what Tesla liked...

"Mei!"

Ling Feng had no choice but to ask Mei for help. Mei had known Tesla for longer, and since they were both girls, maybe she would know!

"What's wrong? Ling Feng?"

Mei was holding an ice pop, tasting it. She licked it gently, then held it in her mouth, tilting her head slightly to look at Ling Feng...

Ling Feng: "..." That gesture, it's like yesterday's Li... No, I must have caught it from Rita...

"Hachoo!"

Walking beside them, Rita suddenly sneezed, touching her nose. She looked a bit curious. With her physique, she couldn't possibly catch a cold, and besides, she was an ice-element Valkyrie.

"Uh... it's just, well, Tesla, about Tesla..."

Ling Feng felt a bit flustered, but thankfully he remembered Tesla. He quickly said, "Isn't it because Tesla sponsored our trip that we could come on vacation? So I wanted to give her some gifts to take back. Also, Himeko and the Academy Head, do you know what they like?"

"What they like... hmm..."

Mei tilted her head and thought for a moment. "As for Tesla, I'm not really sure either, because she's never said. But giving her something to eat should be fine. We have quite a lot of delicious food in Japan. The Academy Head, like Bronya, likes things from the Hutao series, and she absolutely loves magical girls. Himeko... Himeko likes to drink, but considering Himeko's physical condition, she can't drink anymore. As for other things she likes... hmm..."

Mei hesitated for a moment, then finally said to Ling Feng with some embarrassment, "Once Himeko gets drunk, she always complains about why she can't find a boyfriend. It seems she really wants to find someone who can care for her and cherish her, but there are too few boys in the academy, and they're all nearly ten years younger than Himeko..."

Ling Feng: "..." Sorry, Aunt Himeko, I really can't help you with this...

PS: Can you believe I don't have a single chapter saved if I dare to put out a bounty? Yes, really, I'm that cheeky! Currently, there are only two chapters, right? Considering that, I'll make it up for you tomorrow. Also, thank you all for your support, and thank you to the big shots for your rewards and votes. I'll try my best to update three times a day. Five updates are also fine, ten updates are also... Cough, cough, sorry, wrong transmission. And I'm still thinking about that useless leave request...

Chapter 73: Rita's Idiom Dictionary: Waiting by the Tree for a Rabbit!

In the evening, those four were soaking in the hot springs again. This time, Ling Feng finally didn't have to wait anymore, as there was still one more room with a hot spring, wasn't there? Although he was still soaking alone...

And. Yesterday, Rita might have deliberately not told him, resulting in him waiting outside for so long, and then inexplicably challenging him to a fight at night, and finally...

Forget it, asking would probably be useless. Anyway, judging by her appearance, she wouldn't tell the truth...

Thinking about what happened last night and this morning, Ling Feng pondered for a moment. He didn't soak for long before returning to his room. He placed Chi You by the bedside, locked the door, closed the windows, and drew the curtains. Tonight, he had to get up early and sleep early. He really couldn't take it anymore...

After sorting things out, Ling Feng lifted the covers and prepared to get into bed. If Rita really came looking for him later, he would pretend to be asleep. Rita probably wouldn't wake him up...

However, as he lifted the covers, Ling Feng felt like his eyes were playing tricks on him. But after rubbing his eyes, they weren't playing tricks. It really was Rita...

"Pfft..."

Ling Feng: "..."

At this moment, Rita was lying on the bed in a very well-behaved posture, wearing a bathrobe and stockings, curled up into a ball, looking at Ling Feng with a smile. "Yoho, Captain, what a coincidence?"

Ling Feng: "..." Coincidence my foot...

"Rita? What are you doing here? Aren't you going back to your own room to sleep?"

Ling Feng certainly knew that Rita had come to find him deliberately, but he never expected Rita to be faster than him. Moreover, he had just closed the doors and windows, thinking it was foolproof. But unexpectedly, Rita had already laid a trap, waiting for him. Now it was perfect, he had become a turtle in a jar...

"Hehe, doesn't the Captain know why I'm here?"

Rita sat up slightly, stretching lazily, her posture incredibly alluring...

Ling Feng: "..." My heart is as still as water, and I even feel like singing the Great Compassion Mantra!

"Well, enough joking. I'm here to talk to the Captain about serious business."

Seeing Ling Feng's conflicted expression, Rita was satisfied with her teasing. She patted the bedside, signaling Ling Feng to sit down.

"Serious business?"

Ling Feng was still suspicious of Rita's words, but after thinking carefully, it seemed that since he met Rita, she hadn't lied to him much. Although what she said often caused misunderstandings...

"Go ahead!"

Ling Feng still sat down beside Rita, a little curious about the "serious business" Rita mentioned.

"That's right, Captain..."

The maid smiled slightly, then exposed her thigh and said with a smile, "Would you like a lap pillow? The Captain can rest while listening to me..."

Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, and was about to say, "Uh... no..."

"You're welcome!"

But before he could even finish his sentence, Rita had already embraced Ling Feng's head with both hands and pressed it onto her smooth thigh...

Ling Feng: "..." Although it was a bit passive, the sensation was truly wonderful. Sorry, Mei, I can't go back!

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I killed someone today..." (Sensitive word, please ignore)

Rita lowered her head slightly, looking at Ling Feng's face. Her eyes, illuminated by the dim light, appeared somewhat strange. Combined with Rita's innate aura of mischief, it felt a little terrifying...

Ling Feng: "???"

What the heck, why is Rita suddenly saying this? And, killing people? Forget killing one person, you've already killed hundreds of millions today...

However, seeing Rita's expression and gaze, Ling Feng felt she wasn't joking. But why tell him this? Was it a secret assassination ending? May the spirit of Cheng-ge bless me...

"Uh, who did you kill?"

Ling Feng didn't move. Firstly, he trusted Rita wouldn't hurt him. Secondly, in this situation, he was clearly at a disadvantage. Moreover, if he acted too wary, Rita would probably be sad...

"Anti-Entropy spies!"

Rita's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression. "I know him. He's Cocolia's person, and I hate people like Cocolia the most. I hate the bugs that follow her even more!"

"Cocolia? Do you know her?"

Speaking of Cocolia, Ling Feng suddenly remembered that two people in his squad had some connection to Cocolia. One was Mei, whose father was framed and imprisoned by Cocolia, and she herself was transformed into a Herrscher. The other was Bronya, who was used as a test subject, lost her legs and ability to express emotions, and had a bio-chip implanted. She could be considered the lifelong enemy of both himself and Mei!

"Of course, I know her, and I've even met her!"

Rita put away her serious expression, smiling when facing Ling Feng. "It's just that she can't really be considered human anymore. She'll do anything to achieve her goals, even... Captain, you know about Mei's situation, right? But do you know that Cocolia sacrificed millions of lives in Changkong City for her goals?"

"Changkong City? That city that turned into ruins two years ago?"

Ling Feng had been in this era for almost a month now, so he knew about some major news, like the Third Honkai Outbreak in Changkong City!

"Yes, that's right!"

Rita nodded slightly. "The Third Honkai Outbreak was an experiment led by Cocolia. Her goal was to find more suitable Herrscher candidates. But experimenting one by one was too troublesome, so she decided to trigger a Honkai Outbreak, exposing the entire city to Honkai energy. Those who survived would be the best experimental subjects!"

"This... this is simply madness!"

Listening to Rita's description, Ling Feng couldn't remain calm anymore. Casually killing millions of people, Ling Feng didn't know how to describe Cocolia anymore. But without a doubt, she was no longer truly human!

"That's why I hate her!"

Although Rita still wore a smile, it couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes. "I don't know if the Second Honkai Outbreak was related to Cocolia, but I know that everything I once had was taken away by the Honkai. And Cocolia has always wanted to take Mei back, after all, the power of a Herrscher is very tempting!"

Seeing Rita's expression, Ling Feng could roughly guess some things, so he proactively changed the subject. "So, we've been targeted by Anti-Entropy? And... Cocolia might come too?"

"There's no doubt we've been targeted by Anti-Entropy, but Cocolia is a cunning fox. She never shows herself personally, unless..."

Rita chuckled lightly. "We're all captured, in which case we might be brought before Cocolia!"

Ling Feng: "..." If that's the case, I'd rather not meet her...

"To think we've been targeted by Anti-Entropy. It seems we have to go back tomorrow..."

Although he had found the gift, Ling Feng had planned to stay here for a few more days. But with the appearance of Anti-Entropy, this place seemed to have become unsafe. After all, this wasn't the Far East Branch's territory, and Auntie wouldn't be able to provide timely support. Moreover, Himeko's condition probably wouldn't allow her to fight anymore!

"Yes, Captain's words, I don't object. So..."

Rita gently helped Ling Feng up, then suddenly pushed him down, looking down at him from above, a mischievous smile appearing on her face again. "Since the Captain is going back tomorrow, I should also return to headquarters to report. And since Rita has given the Captain such important information, doesn't the Captain want to repay Rita?"

Ling Feng: "..." No, I don't want to...

Chapter 74: This Kind of Thing is Actually to Save Humanity!

"Heh heh, really don't want to?"

Rita simply smiled charmingly, her right index finger lightly tracing his chest. "Captain, do you know? Human history began millions of years ago, and the reason humans have been able to continuously evolve and reach the top of the food chain relies not only on intelligence, but also on another, more important factor..."

"Another factor?"

Ling Feng's attention was instantly captured by Rita. He felt something was off. Why was this seductive maid suddenly discussing such profound issues?

"Mmm-hmm, reproductive ability!"

Rita instantly revealed her true nature. "Looking at all living things, survival is a necessary element for life. Secondly, it's the continuation of offspring. Powerful creatures, weak creatures, all are like this. I remember... the Captain was also an S-rank Valkyrie, right?"

"Uh... where on earth did you get all this information?"

Facing Rita, Ling Feng didn't choose to lie. This maid was like a vixen, both cunning and seductive. Trying to deceive her in this matter would have too high a difficulty. Moreover, from her words, Ling Feng felt that Rita definitely knew a lot about him!

"I won't tell you..."

Rita pouted slightly, looking a bit playful, and said with a smile, "Let's continue our previous topic. All things need to reproduce, and humans are no exception. Now, facing the disaster of the Honkai, humans need to reproduce to become stronger offspring. And we are all S-rank Valkyries, so we must fulfill our responsibility to protect human civilization!"

Rita deliberately put on a serious expression, but the overall image looked a bit incongruous. "But we alone are not enough; we need more people. Therefore, for the sake of humanity, we also need to create our own offspring. Captain, this is for humanity. It's absolutely not that I want to do this. I'm paying such a price just to fight the Honkai. I'm not the kind of person you imagine!"

Ling Feng: "..." If I have to believe this statement of yours, I'd rather believe that Kiana can get a perfect score in all subjects...

"So..."

After finishing her declaration with a serious expression, Rita moved infinitely closer, slowly sliding her hand down, and said with a light smile, "Captain, for the sake of humanity, please accept me!"

Hey, hey, hey, didn't we get the script reversed? Normally, wouldn't the male be the one to initiate? Why are all the lines reversed when it comes to you? Also, you were a virgin yesterday, why are you so skilled? How much study material have you seen in the past?

However, facing Rita's offensive, and the soft, fragrant touch in her embrace, his brother seemed to have received a summons, holding his head high, unyielding even against a thousand troops and horses!

Brother, calm down...

The Captain hurriedly chanted the Great Compassion Mantra in his heart. At this moment, he absolutely could not fall. Besides, if it was going to happen, he should be the one to initiate. Being provoked by a maid like this was very humiliating...

"Hmm?"

However, his brother suddenly felt something touch him. Don't even say it, it was Rita...

Rita then proactively leaned in, her lips pressing directly against the Captain's. Compared to yesterday, Rita had become much more proficient; at least she wouldn't be doing any more idiotic moves like biting her own tongue...

If anyone could still endure this situation, they should be thrown directly to the Eastern Depot. Ling Feng no longer hesitated and counterattacked Rita, his hands also busy leaving fingerprints all over her...

Suddenly, Rita pushed Ling Feng away, causing him to fall onto the bed. She then stood up, wearing black stockings, and lightly placed her right foot on a certain spot, a cold smile gracing her face. "Captain, what if I were to step down?"

"Lord Rita, I was wrong!"

The Captain immediately caved. Ling Feng didn't know how powerful Rita's kick was, but he knew that yesterday she had punched through the floor and kicked through a wooden wall without even using Honkai energy. He wondered how strong a Valkyrie could be when using Honkai energy...

One could reference Kiana. When she was promoted to B-rank Valkyrie, she kicked through the giant shield of a Temple Guard with a single blow. So, the question was, which was sturdier: his own 'brother' or the Temple Guard's giant shield?

Ling Feng: "..." He didn't even want to think about that question...

"Heh, Captain, I was just kidding. How could I bear to harm you? Let me help you recover your spirits!"

Rita's smile changed again, her expression one of tenderness. She then knelt on Ling Feng's lap, lifted the bathrobe around his waist, and slowly lowered her head...

Ling Feng: "???"

There was a skilled mimic in the capital. During a grand banquet at an inn, behind the bed in the main hall, he placed a two-foot wide bathrobe. The mimic sat on his own calves. One man, one woman, one bed, and one measuring stick, surrounded by seated guests. After a moment, a sound was heard from behind the screen as the measuring stick was struck once. The entire room fell silent, no one daring to make a sound.

"Mmmph..."

Then, Ling Feng found himself making a similarly embarrassing sound. In the past, he had made Mei make this sound, then Kiana, and finally Rita, who had also surrendered under his superb massage techniques. And now...

The Heavenly Dao cycles, was it finally his turn?

But...

Seeing the hint of triumph in Rita's eyes, Ling Feng wanted to resist. However, facing Rita's relentless assault and her innate talent, Ling Feng was the first to fall. This made Ling Feng want to ask again, how many study materials have you seen? Be honest, do you have backups?
