I am Qin Shi Huang. Actually, I didn't die, but lived until now. However, I recently had an accident, and my funds were frozen by a Swiss bank. As long as you give me a thousand yuan, I will give you half of the Great Qin Treasure I left behind once my funds are unfrozen.

The passage above was a famous scam that circulated online in Shenzhou for a period.

Because it was so ridiculous, it became incredibly popular online for a while, to the point that Mei, who was in Japan, had heard of it.

However, Mei remained skeptical about whether this was fact or just an online meme.

After all, the scam was too absurd. She couldn't believe anyone would use such a meme-like scam to defraud people, nor could she believe anyone would fall for it.

But today, Mei felt that perhaps this matter might actually be true.

You ask why...?

Looking at the silver-haired young man in front of her, who was talking non-stop, Mei rubbed her temples with a headache.

"I am Kevin Kaslana, the first God of War of the previous generation's civilization, 'Fire Moth'."

This was a silver-haired, blue-eyed young man, wearing a pure white shirt, with a faint smile on his face. His handsome features could captivate any inexperienced maiden.

At this moment, the young man was looking at Mei, who was wearing a Senba Academy uniform. His deep blue eyes were filled with "sincere" light.

"I once wielded the Heavenly Fire and committed suicide, killing Herrschers was as easy as killing Crimson."

Mei: "..."

For some reason, she felt offended.

"Although the previous generation's civilization has been destroyed, I did not die, but lived until now."

"And I founded a very awesome organization called 'World Serpent'."

"However, 'World Serpent' recently had some accidents, leading to a broken funding chain. As long as you give me ten million, just ten million!"

As the young man spoke, he extended a finger and waved it in front of Mei.

"After I solve my financial problems, lead 'World Serpent' to stomp on 'Anti-Entropy', beat up 'Schicksal', and dominate the world, I'll give you this country and find you a wife named Kiana Paramecium, and I'll even twist Otto's head off for you to use as a ball. How about that?"

Not good at all!

Mei's excellent upbringing as a young lady allowed her to suppress the urge to say that out loud. She looked at the earnest young man in front of her, whose eyes seemed "sincere," and felt a headache coming on.

Who is Kiana?

And who is Otto?

Why would she marry Kiana?

And why would she kick Otto's head around like a ball?

And Kevin Kaslana, the previous generation's civilization...

Well, his imagination was good, but she still felt that Qin Shi Huang was more believable and realistic.

Speaking of which, this guy wasn't actually trying to scam her with this speech, was he?

Looking at the silver-haired young man before her, Mei thought, No one would be naive enough for this, right?

"Um, sir, you... you were joking just now, right?"

"You found out?"

Mei: "..."

Looking at the surprised young man in front of her, even with Mei's composure, she felt an urge to hit him.

"Actually, I am your fiancé, Kevin Kaslana, Mei."

"Um, my name is Mei."

"Oh, is this a setting from Honkai Gakuen 2?"

"..."

Watching the young man stroke his chin and put on a thoughtful expression, Mei let out a soft sigh, her eyes turning somewhat cold.

"It's getting late, and I have things to do. If you're not going to speak seriously, then I'll have to take my leave."

Given Mei's gentle nature, she wouldn't normally be so impatient.

However, Mei had been through a lot recently and really didn't have the mood to listen to a stranger say incomprehensible things.

As for the truthfulness of the young man's words...

Although her father wasn't the most responsible, he would never joke about her lifelong happiness.

Seeing that Mei was starting to get angry, the silver-haired young man finally stopped joking and put on a pleading expression.

"Okay, okay, no more jokes!"

The young man said this with some helplessness, revealing the most genuine, faint smile he had shown since he found Mei.

"My name is Dong Moxuan, and I am your father's friend."

As he said this, the young man pointed to the door beside Mei.

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a bit?"

Dong Moxuan, what a name brimming with ancient charm.

Following the usual trope, a name like this should appear in a historical martial arts novel, or at the very least, a fantasy novel, or even a novel from Jinjiang Literature City.

However, perhaps because Dong Moxuan was a slacker captain in his past life, he unexpectedly died and arrived in the world of Honkai.

Unfortunately, he became a weak, pitiful, and helpless death warrior at the very bottom of this world.

This directly crushed his plan to join the front lines of the fight against Honkai, just like in his previous life.

But this world seemed to have shown him its last bit of mercy; it didn't change his gender into a girl like in some Honkai fanfics he'd read before.

So, if Mihoyo's settings from his previous life weren't wrong, he should be the only male death warrior in this world.

Furthermore, as a transmigrator, he was very different from ordinary death warriors.

For example, he could maintain his sanity, unlike other death warriors who were hot-tempered and prone to attacking at the slightest provocation.

Another example is that he could temporarily suppress the Honkai Energy within him, making him appear no different from a normal human.

It was with this ability that he was able to infiltrate Changkong City.

However, upon arriving in Changkong City, he discovered a very serious problem – his bank card seemed to be frozen.

In other words, he was penniless.

Although money has a very low presence in the world of Honkai.

In reality, when the story just began, Honkai hadn't broken out on a large scale, and this world wasn't much different from his previous one.

At least on the surface, it appeared that way, and at least Changkong City at this moment was like that.

Therefore, if the financial problem couldn't be resolved, it was likely that a tragedy like "Shocking! The secret that 99% of people in this world don't know, death warriors can also..." would occur.

Then, just as Dong Moxuan was considering how to get money, he suddenly saw Mei, who had just finished school. His mind snapped, and the aforementioned incident happened.

Oh, and by the way, Dong Moxuan wasn't lying in the end. He did indeed know Raiden Ryoma.

As for whether they were good friends...

Only heaven knows.
