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

The customer started making unreasonable demands.

It's alright. As a seasoned businessman, Tingyun is already used to this kind of thing.

"Miss Crow, can you act?"

"will not."

"I think so too."

While the crow's face was exquisite, its deadpan expression didn't seem like that of someone who could act.

"But it's alright, I can teach you."

Teach my ass.

Isn't it just about matchmaking young couples?

Pretending to be in a relationship, doing all sorts of sweet little things a couple of times, and before long, the young couple will be a couple, right?

She's an expert at this! She's adept at handling everyday family matters.

However... the only problem is that the Dust Song Pot is too "small".

While they are objectively well-off, it's still a high-end dormitory!

That kind of coincidental sweetness is really hard to create—fortunately, it doesn't need to be seen by Xueyi.

Yes, Tingyun has already grasped the key point: the biggest problem in this commission is dealing with the client.

As for Liu Bai... since he's involved in the conspiracy here, he must agree...

Wait, do you agree?

A warning bell suddenly rang in Tingyun's heart.

Is Liu Bai really the kind of person who would approve of a younger sister betraying her older sister?

Tingyun tried to read something from Liu Bai's face, but Liu Bai... was looking at the bracelet.

They didn't care about Tingyun at all, let alone observe her expression.

But who is Liu Bai? If it's possible for the sisters to accept the gifts together, then they will definitely accept them together... cough cough, although this is a bit disrespectful to their master.

But that's the gist of it. Now, suddenly supporting the younger sister betraying the older sister? This is completely illogical!

So there must be something fishy going on here!

But... what kind of scam could it be?

Tingyun ran through all the conspiracies and schemes in her mind.

Then we found the only option that might be applicable now—a nested nest!

She and the crow are now in the second trap!

The first set was set up by Liu Bai and Xue Yi!

Liu Bai is the "two-faced person" in this matter!

true and false?

Actually, there's no 100% certainty about Tingyun; it's just a conclusion drawn from various conditions.

But if it's true...

Tingyun looked at Liu Bai with a hint of reproach.

That despicable Lord Liu Bai, he even dares to bully a woman like her.

However, at that moment, Liu Bai also happened to be smiling and looking at Ting Yun.

Well, now it's definitely a trap within a trap.

……

"This humble woman is going to take a piece of your flesh today, sir."

In the newly built water bar, Tingyun and Liu Bai sat together, and Tingyun complained half-jokingly.

"Eat whatever you want. If you can eat me out of house and home, then you're really something."

As an apology for using Tingyun as a tool on short notice today, Liu Bai brought Tingyun over for a couple of drinks during work hours.

The Valkyries who were brought in are now in charge of logistics for the newly built area.

It can be said that Karen brought a complete logistics-frontline system.

Although on Liu Bai's side, this large group of people were considered insignificant.

"Those words really make me go from being a leech to being slaughtered."

Tingyun looked resentful.

"However, I understand the cause and effect... I really didn't expect Lady Xueyi to make such a choice."

Tingyun somewhat admired Xueyi's boldness.

"Don't tell the Ten Kings about this—although I'd like to 'redeem' Han Ya and Xue Yi when we get back."

Liu Bai felt that his background was enough to make Xianzhou give him face—as long as it was genuine after they returned.

"It should be fine..."

Tingyun thought for a moment, "Of course, from the perspective of a female businessman, there is no problem."

The idea that money can buy anything is a very vulgar and simplistic value.

Most intelligent life forms, as long as they live, cannot escape the mundane realities of life—which is why the company's reach can extend to all parts of the known universe, and even "corrode" the Celestial Ship.

Although the number of judges on the Immortal Ship is somewhat tight, it's not to the point where we can't let go of any of them.

If Liu Bai can provide it, the immortal ship can release the people—not to mention that people have already been sent over.

"Then I'll remember that for now. If we can't redeem it... Miss Tingyun, you wouldn't want the Minghuo Merchant Guild, to which you've poured your heart and soul, to go bankrupt, would you?"

"I sincerely hope that you will not say such terrible and horrible things."

After Tingyun finished complaining, he ordered a drink.

"But if that's the case... there seems to be some additional business opportunity here?"

"You also want to repay me with your body?"

"Your method of blocking the road is quite skillful."

Tingyun sighed, which was not very virtuous.

"I was just thinking about where the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce could cooperate with the company."

"Not qualified, right?"

"...That is indeed the case."

Tingyun felt helpless; only at times like these could she truly feel the oppressive presence of Liu Bai as a powerful figure.

She was merely the chief representative of the Minghuo Chamber of Commerce... Although she was quite famous in the Luofu Tianbo Company, if she wanted to negotiate big business with the company, she would at least have to be the captain of a Tianbo Company.

"Upon careful consideration, this is something that Lord Yukong should be grappling with. If I, a mere merchant, were to bring this up, wouldn't it seem more like I'd be being kept?"

440

Chapter 440 It's shameful to tell the truth!

"Hmm... I feel like I've had a little too much to drink."

That's what they said, but Tingyun only showed signs of intoxication with slightly flushed cheeks.

As a businessman who often needs to attend social events, Tingyun actually has a pretty good alcohol tolerance—but perhaps it is precisely because of this that Tingyun keeps drinking.

"I feel like I want to talk about something..."

"Then say it."

Liu Bai drinks very little – when it comes to wine tasting, Liu Bai's ability to learn is roughly equivalent to that of a child.

They can only accept wines that are on the sweeter side or fruit-flavored wines.

Therefore, Liu Bai was more clear-headed.

"...Your acceptance is so frank that I don't know where to begin."

After finishing speaking, Tingyun took another hearty gulp of wine.

"...Actually, I really...envy, or rather, admire the Nameless Guest. You know the Nameless Guest, right?"

"Hmm, those people who live freely, do you envy them?"

"I really envy those nameless travelers who venture into the stars and wander the world."

Tingyun's tone was somewhat dejected, "However, I am completely inept at piloting a starship... no, I can't even handle a regular transport ship skillfully."

As Tingyun complained, its fluffy, bushy tail lashed out at Liu Bai.

They keep setting them up there... I really want to grab them and give them a good sip.

"That's why you became the chief representative of the Chamber of Commerce."

"Hmm...yes, although there is a saying in the Immortal Journey that 'fox people are born to be merchants,' it doesn't mean that every fox person only has this one way out—of course, if you're talking about galloping across the battlefield like General Feixiao, this humble woman is not capable of that either."

"It's more like a stereotype that 'everyone in Xx province will take the civil service exam.'"

Liu Bai could completely understand, "But at least you've taken a step."

Liu Bai comforted Ting Yun.

"And now... we've taken another big step."

Tingyun continued to drink heartily with the demeanor of a lady.

"Here with you... I feel like I've been drawn into an epic, it's really... terrifying."

"You don't need to go to the battlefield."

Not everyone who enters will go to the battlefield.

"...But, I am also very excited."

Tingyun's voice became muffled, "If this were within the Chamber of Commerce, I'm afraid I would never have taken this step in my entire life..."

They have the desire for adventure, but lack the courage and determination to take it.

Liu Bai... completely understands.

A few years ago, there was a very popular saying, "a trip that you can take whenever you want."

It sounds simple, but how many people can really give up their current situation? Most people still joined a tour group and had a not-so-bad trip.

"But, it really is..."

Scared.

Liu Bai could already guess what Ting Yun hadn't said.

"Actually, I've been prepared for things to go wrong. After all, even during ordinary interstellar travel, there's always a chance of something unexpected happening. So, I always make sure to take care of my affairs before I go on any business trip."

Tingyun slowed down her drinking pace.

"But... if it's an accident or facing it directly, I think facing it directly might be more difficult—after all, facing it requires courage, and I... am actually a very timid person."

“A timid person can’t become a representative of the Chamber of Commerce. As far as I know, Yu Kong is planning to hand over the position of helmsman to you, right?”

"That is true... but it's impossible. All the captains of the Sky Ship Company have been top-notch pilots, one in a million. I am absolutely not qualified for this position."

"In the end, isn't it just an informal convention? You know, these things can be broken with just a little force."

Liu Bai completely disagreed with the term "cowardice." In the end, Tingyun was simply using alcohol to express the anxieties that had accumulated since arriving here.

—She was actually thinking too much.

"..."

"Tingyun, if we're talking about cowardice, I'm the most cowardly one."

Liu Bai continued speaking—this was the truth, not just empty words to appease Ting Yun.

"I have planned almost everything related to today: us, destiny, anti-entropy... If the world is a chessboard, I am already the referee who reads the chess players."
