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

"No problem, just normal negotiations."

Rosalyn waved her hand, "Kujavina is dead, so no one here can disgust her anymore."

So what if it's blatant? It's not like there's no legitimate reason.

Don't ask, the only answer is that the A-rank Valkyrie Peruvée acted rashly, causing tension between the two sides, and she had to step in to ease the tension.

—Although Destiny and Anti-Entropy are at odds, their relationship is not actually at the point of full-scale war.

If we had to be specific, the vast majority of the time it was a tacit ceasefire between the two sides. They would only resort to violence when there was a direct conflict of interest. For example, if Liu Bai had landed in another neutral zone, these two would definitely have fought for Liu Bai and the spaceship.

After all, if the two sides were to engage in a war, it would be a lose-lose situation. Both sides are smart people, and even if they don't like each other, they wouldn't start a war for no reason.

Of course, since it was not a written ceasefire but only a voluntary truce, the atmosphere was still very tense under normal circumstances—except here.

"Please fasten your seatbelts, everyone. The transport plane is about to take off."

A somewhat indifferent, childish voice came from the radio.

“Bronya.” Rosalind looked up at her with some surprise.

As the aircraft slowly took off, after a brief jolt, the large door to the cockpit opened, and a petite gray-haired girl stepped out.

—At that moment, Liu Bai sensed that Kafka, who was sitting in the back, had suddenly become interested.

Well... after all, Bronya is a famous actress, and Silver Wolf has Bronya's face.

"How have you been lately, Bronya?"

Rosalyn waved and greeted the girl very familiarly.

"I'm fine." The girl's tone was completely unenthusiastic. "And you, Aunt Rosalyn?"

"Excellent."

Rosalyn smiled with pleasure. If it weren't for the fact that this matter couldn't be discussed openly, Rosalyn would have loved to spread the news of Kujavina's death all over the world.

This answer surprised Bronya.

Rosalind is rarely this happy.

“…Looks like someone’s in trouble.” Bronya pursed her lips and looked at Liu Bai.

—This Bronya doesn't seem to be all 'emotionless' or 'uncool'.

"You must be the... Brother Liu Bai that Xi'er was talking about?"

“Yes, nice to meet you. I’m Liu Bai.” Bai nodded to Bronya. “This is my secretary, Kavka. Is it alright that you’re not in the cockpit?”

Bronya, resting her chin on her hand, muttered softly, "Seele actually likes this type... cough! Nice to meet you, my name is Bronya, an executive of Anti-Entropy. The plane is already on autopilot, so don't worry."

I must say... Seele's taste is surprisingly good? I originally thought Seele's taste would be a bit stranger.

Bronya paid close attention to Liu Bai, but she wasn't as concerned about Kaffa.

However, with Liu Bai looking like this, Bronya didn't know how to continue the conversation—after all, it's perfectly normal for Seele to be seduced by someone who looks like that!

Fortunately, Rosalyn spoke up at that moment.

Bronya, how is your mother now?

"Just got back. I had a fight with Destiny in Europe a few days ago, and as usual, neither of us won nor lost."

"Tsk tsk... So it's your mother who wants to see Liu Bai?"

“No, it’s Dr. Tesla and Aunt Himeko who want to see him.” Bronya glanced at Liu Bai.

Although it wasn't a star-studded lineup, their level of diplomacy against entropy is still quite rare.

"Dr. Tesla seems quite angry."

"Isn't that redhead always so loud and boisterous?" Rosalyn rolled her eyes.

Bronya looked at Rosalind, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

With your personalities combined, it would be strange if you didn't argue!

In most cases, Dr. Tesla is quite normal, even down-to-earth.

For example, when teaching people, Tesla might scold them, but she would still explain things in detail. In fact, you could say the harsher she scolded, the more attentive she became. When she stopped scolding people, that was when she was truly disappointed in them.

Her sharp tongue towards students and younger generations stemmed more from her concern that they wouldn't be able to become independent after leaving school—though her methods were somewhat radical.

As for Dr. Einstein... he was too eccentric, not to mention that sometimes you couldn't even see him.

As long as you can tolerate Tesla's arrogance, sharp tongue, and poor self-care ability, she is actually a good woman with good common sense, no quirks, likes children, and had excellent taste in clothing when she was young, rarely wearing the same clothes twice in her travel photos—such a person is extremely rare among their anti-entropy scientists!

As for the point about poor drinking manners... it depends on how you interpret "spoiled". When this person is drunk, they will act very capriciously and spoiled.

When Tesla meets Rosalyn, two sharp-tongued individuals collide; it would be strange if things didn't go well.

Bronya sighed, feeling that the two of them would probably fight if they met.

Of course, Rosalyn is similar to Tesla, except that Rosalyn's sharp tongue is more unfounded, while Tesla, after all, is a teacher.

However, Rosalind is truly ruthless towards her enemies.

"Himeko's here too..." Bai was a little stunned when she heard Bronya's words. "Did they come all the way from the Sky Zone?"

"I just followed them here."

Bronya nodded. "It seems that you're involved in something quite serious, Brother Liu Bai."

Bronya also called Liu Bai "brother" just like Seele did—after all, acting cute wouldn't hurt her.

In addition... Liu Bai did indeed make her feel very kind and reliable.

Rosalyn glanced at Liu Bai.

Well, judging from this man's actions, it wouldn't be surprising if he got involved in something big—he killed the deputy minister after only two days here.

This drive to act is not something easily achieved by ordinary people.

He's only been here two days! His decisiveness is off the charts—especially considering he usually seems so harmless.

This is one of the reasons why Rosalyn doesn't want to have too much contact with Liu Bai.

In Rosalind's memory, the last person who was harmless in daily life but decisive and ruthless in his actions was named Otto.

At most, Liu Bai is a bit more humane. If Otto had acted in that situation, she probably would have become like Kujavina now, a puppet who obeys orders without question.

Although Rosalyn is very impulsive, she doesn't think she's smarter than people like Otto, so she stays away from Liu Bai as much as possible.

"...Then I think I know why Dr. Tesla is in a bad mood."

Liu Bai scratched his head.

There's no doubt that Tesla is waiting for customers to come to them, or perhaps they're already prepared to come to them proactively, and then they'll just fly away...

"However, Dr. Tesla is generally not too harsh on strangers, so you don't need to worry too much, Brother Liu Bai."

Bronya soothed.

She didn't want Liu Bai to have any lingering trauma—that wouldn't be conducive to negotiations.

"I hope they don't say anything too harsh..."

Liu Bai sighed.

Afterwards, Rosalind chatted with Bronya about everyday things.

Liu Bai listened from the side, organizing the information as he listened.

Well... no experiments took place at the orphanage this time. Instead, the children in the orphanage will receive education from the Dr. Anti-Entropy.

It has to be said that Dr. Anti-Entropy is full of heavyweights.

Planck, Einstein, Tesla, Edison, Schrödinger.

Besides these famous ones, second-tier scientists like Raiden Ryoma and Himeko, as well as ordinary scientists, will also come.

Occasionally, Leona, the former strongest of Destiny, would come here to instruct the children in martial arts, and if there were any promising talents, she would take them away for further training.

In addition, Liu Bai also learned that the person who is now truly in charge of operating the orphanage is Xing Mar.

She was someone who didn't have much presence in the main storyline of the game, but she originally had the opportunity to become a "famous actress". Unfortunately, she was portrayed as a villain in the comics.

As a child, she was a mischievous kid, but as she grew up, Xingmaer took care of the orphans as an "older sister" at the Cocolia Orphanage.

It's harmonious over there too...

"So, Bronya, you still have that feeling?"

"Yes, it has always been there, even Xing said it has."

Bronya nodded, and it seemed that, to take care of Liu Bai, the two of them had a slightly deeper conversation.

However, this topic is not necessary.

Bronya immediately changed the subject after answering.

"The topic of riddles that everyone was really interested in was suddenly brought to a halt."

"...I just felt a subtle sense that something was missing in the orphanage."

Bronya saw Liu Bai's curiosity and replied indifferently.

"But no one knows exactly what it is. It might just be a matter of physical sensation. Only Xing, Xi'er, and I have this feeling."

"I think it's a strange feeling caused by the issue of Honkai energy aptitude?"

Rosalind offered an explanation, one that Bronya had heard before.

What's the point of an explanation? It still doesn't solve the problem, does it?

Bronya seemed to think there was no need to continue the topic: "We're almost at the orphanage, everyone please sit tight."

Chapter 198 Do you want to play?

"Follow behind me." Rosalind whispered a reminder to Liu Bai before getting up after the plane landed.

Although she was somewhat wary, she still chose to take sides. With Liu Bai following behind her, she could at least offer some words of support.

Moreover, from her perspective, she hoped that Liu Bai and Anti-Entropy could reach an agreement.

Liu Bai nodded. Rosalyn, the head of the far north branch, walked in front, followed by him as the target, then Kafka as the secretary, and finally Peruvier, the accompanying A-rank Valkyrie.

The four of them disembarked from the plane, where Seele and a girl with half-purple and half-pink hair, whose left eye was covered by short hair, were ready to greet them.

"Welcome, Aunt Rosalyn and Mr. Liu Bai." The girl bowed slightly to Rosalyn and Liu Bai.

"Xing... Ha, why don't Cocolia and Tesla come out to greet you personally for something like this?"

Rosalyn frowned slightly.

This is somewhat impolite—Anne is merely the head of the orphanage, while Cocolia is the highest-ranking official in this area.

Even setting aside Tesla, Cocolia should come out and greet them.

Xing naturally knew what Rosalin was unhappy about, and gave Rosalin and Liu Bai an apologetic smile.

"I'm very sorry, Mom is still discussing matters with Dr. Tesla."

Upon hearing this, Rosalyn gave a slightly mocking expression.

Negotiations? More like appeasement.

After all, that (two Teslas; ...) really doesn't seem like someone who's good at diplomacy—okay, she's not good at it either.

Spirit Alliance

"Oh, I see. Then please lead us inside, Xing."

Rosalyn didn't press further; this reason was enough for Liu Bai.

“Liu Bai, this is Xing, whom I mentioned when I was chatting with Bronya before. She is the person in charge of this orphanage. As for the other one... you already know her, so I won't introduce her.”

"Hello."

"Hello, my name is Xing Mar, you can just call me Xing."

Xing wavered slightly when they shook hands.

Rosalyn scoffed, thinking, "She has a face that looks like she could easily fool a little girl..."

"Seele, it's been a long time."
