Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

Mei sighed.

Why should she have to do this kind of thing?

Although Black Tower has been kind enough to teach me, he's far too bossy.

What? Why didn't Mei give hers to the Black Tower?

Hmm, Mei always felt that the Black Tower would be hit by a boomerang—that's what Estádio told her.

The two of them have a pretty good relationship.

If it's a boomerang, wouldn't her ticket be a complete waste?

Ahem... Although she wasn't particularly enthusiastic about this, it's best to keep anything that might be useful, right?

-

"Ms. Jade, do you need a ticket too?"

Toppa stared in astonishment at Emerald, who was asking him for something.

"What's wrong, little Yelena? Don't you want to give it to me?"

Emerald looked at Toppa calmly.

Topa inexplicably felt a gaze that made her feel very pressured.

But she is no longer the Topa she once was.

A few days ago, she might have asked a few more questions.

but now……

Showing surprise is enough.

"Do you still have fireworks in stock?"

"People are looking... Sister Jade is really lucky! There's only one set left."

Toppa and Emerald watched the fireworks display quietly.

What good luck!

Toppa can guarantee that Hanabi will definitely line his own pocket.

But... as I said before, Toppa couldn't be bothered with it.

The careers of "safety officer" and "ticket seller" had extinguished the flame of passion Topa had for his work.

"Thank you, Hanabi-chan."

Emerald smiled and thanked the fireworks, then looked at Toppa, who looked utterly dejected.

"Topa, now that you've used up all the condoms, you can come back to work as usual."

"--real!?"

Toppa suddenly perked up.

"Yes, although this is a special space, communication with the outside world remains normal. Currently, each region needs an actuary to provide remote assistance."

"I'm off to work right now!"

"It's already evening."

"It's okay! I can work overtime!"

Topa quickly got up from his ticket seller's seat and disappeared in a flash.

"This child..."

Jade looked distressed.

"Alright, I'll temporarily take over as her ticket seller. Please take care of me, Hanabi-chan."

"Eh...please, please guide me, Sister Jade~"

Hanabi's expression was visibly stiff.

Although she wouldn't mind taking advantage of Jade's misfortune, she genuinely felt too much pressure sitting next to Jade—especially since she had something to hide.

"Don't be so nervous. After all, this was something you and I planned together from the beginning."

Emerald smiled. "I can tell, your target is the Black Tower, isn't it?"

"Truly worthy of being called Sister Jade!"

Upon hearing Jade's words, Hanabi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that her intention to swindle Jade while she was at it, and ultimately trigger a massive chaotic scene, went unnoticed.

"So... Sister Emerald's target is Sister Topa?"

Hanabi asked cautiously.

"Of course~"

Emerald opened her mouth with a smile.

"But... Sister Topa isn't..."

Hanabi looked at the inscrutable smile on Emerald's face and swallowed back what she was about to say.

Well, if you think Toppa can escape the emerald trap, you're being too naive.

-

"BOSS—!?"

Topa had assumed the office was now empty.

I was immediately startled when I saw the people inside.

"What are you doing here?"

"Because I went out to conduct experiments today, after the data I collected was initially organized, I need to review these conclusions and make further arrangements... It's roughly like choosing a path at a fork in the road."

"So you actually do real work?!"

"...Hey, don't talk like you just joined."

Liu Bai squinted.

Although Toppa joined relatively late, he still joined during the Liyue period.

That was probably one of the busiest periods for Liu Bai's official duties.

It was precisely because they worked together during that time that the two had a very good relationship, and Liu Bai was very adept at using topahs and jade.

"I'm so sorry... After all, you've been like this lately."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I can't really blame you. What are you doing here?"

"The senior jade expert said that there is a report submitted from outside that is missing an actuary."

"That part of the document is there."

Liu Bai pointed.

"Most of them are post-disaster statistics."

"Post-disaster?"

Topa walked to his seat, expressing his confusion.

"Yes, there have been various minor natural disasters in the past few days, such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and hurricanes."

"That's not really serious."

Toppa nodded. "...No! This is actually a big problem for the planet, isn't it?"

Toppa subconsciously viewed these things through the lens of how he sees galaxies.

"These are all localized, small-scale events, but they all point to one thing."

"...Star Core".

Toppa only paused for a moment before realizing this.

She's not stupid; in fact, her understanding of the Star Core ranks among the top ten of the company's debt collectors.

Such a sudden and inexplicable disaster can only be triggered by a star's core.

"Should we pick up the pace?"

"That's what we should say in our publicity, but in reality, we can only let Huanlong take it one step at a time for now."

Liu Bai didn't have a good solution either. To freely explore the Sea of ​​Quanta, he could only rely on Huanlong as his "big vehicle".

"That's terrible... But, looking at it from another angle, we actually have plenty of time, right?"

Topa thought about the records she had seen related to star cores.

Generally speaking, a star's core does not generate power immediately upon falling.

There will be a "latent period" in between.

Although that period of time is short in the grand narrative, it is more than enough for them now.

Liu Bai has only been here for half a year!

"That's right—if there's only one."

"...What if there's only one?"

Topa was a little confused. "Wait a minute! Boss! What does that mean?"

"Literally, on your left, at Qingque's workstation, there should be a printed copy of the Liyue Far East Joint Astronomical Observation Report."

"The initial object has disappeared... multiple similar objects appear to have appeared..."

Toppa muttered a few words, his eyes fixed intently on the report.

After a long while, Toppa looked at Liu Bai in disbelief.

"Boss! Why didn't you tell me about something this important?"

"Because saying it wouldn't make much difference, and those who need to know already know."

Liu Bai explained.

People like Zhen, Yelan, and Karen have already been notified.

But at the moment, apart from issuing a notice... there's really nothing else that can be done.

Moreover, since the intelligence has been placed on the table, the matter must have already been communicated.

We can only wait and see how those people respond.

Fortunately, the existence of Honkai energy makes it much easier for humans to fight against natural disasters.

In particular, the addition of special effects such as "gods," "immortals," and "great demons" has made them more powerful and can influence the existence of nature to a certain extent.

The current structure is more comprehensive than the original simple Valkyrie-Herrscher structure.

Liu Bai thought to himself, since Grandpa Zhong is here anyway, it won't cause any trouble if I make a few more requests of this person.

Not to mention a whole host of immortals, great demons, dragon kings, and the like; as long as the disaster level doesn't skyrocket, it should be manageable.

As for Otto, or rather, the side of Destiny, Liu Bai wasn't too worried. Otto possessed the Fourth Divine Key, which could regulate the climate—a satellite capable of altering the planet's ecology.

Well, you could even say that Otto is the real hidden force that will determine whether this disaster can be overcome in the end.

“…So that’s how it is.”

Topa calmed down considerably, then sighed and rubbed his forehead.

Why is there a star core meteor shower here...?

"Who knows, but if Black Tower were told about this, he would probably be very happy."

Liu Bai told a joke.

However, perhaps due to the cold, Toppa had no intention of laughing at all.

Well, even Liu Bai himself didn't know what was so funny.

"Wait a minute, so today's investigation isn't just about determining a direction, is it?"
