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

For example, when someone sees Liu Bai's thighs, they might think, "Wow! Destiny has a positive character, World Serpent has a positive character, Anti-Entropy has a positive character, Inazuma has a positive character, there are already so many positive characters, it doesn't seem like it's a big deal for Liyue to add another positive character."

Of course, you could also say the other way around: Liu Bai wrote "positive" on the butt of Inazuma, and he also wrote "positive" on the butts of the forces like Destiny, World Serpent, and Anti-Entropy. Everyone was sticking their butts out so that Liu Bai could write it. So, is it really a big deal for Liyue, who have long admired Liu Bai, to stick their butts out so that Liu Bai could write "positive" on it?

As more people join in, it becomes irrelevant whether the size of the "正" (correct/upright) characters written on Liu Bai or written by Liu Bai differs. Once the majority accepts it, the minority has an option called "following the crowd."

Of course, matters of power cannot be discussed so casually; they must be described as "the will of Heaven" or "following the will of Heaven."

It was precisely for this reason that Cocolia directly proposed the position of "Honorary Executive Officer," a position that had never been established before.

The compensation must be adequate; this is still a timely help, and it would be too late to invest once Liu Bai truly gains momentum.

"Ahem, Cocolia has already explained it to me clearly."

Tesla cleared her throat with feigned maturity—though she actually had no idea what was going on.

"As long as you agree, Liu Bai, I can immediately submit the application to the higher-ups."

"I have no reason to refuse."

Liu Bai nodded.

"Well... that's all." Tesla breathed a sigh of relief.

There were originally some issues and squabbles, but faced with the bait that Liu Bai suddenly threw out, there was no need to mention those trivial matters.

This development has completely exceeded Tesla's initial expectations.

No, she's still not good at this kind of thing.

"Mom, Mr. Liu Bai, the tea and refreshments have arrived."

After Liu Bai finished talking with Tesla, Bronya and the others returned with their plates.

Cocolia was speechless.

Liu Bai doesn't play by the rules, managing to compress a negotiation that could have lasted two or three hours into less than half an hour.

"Um... are we late?"

Seele sensed something was off about the atmosphere.

"...It's alright, not too late."

Cocolia couldn't blame her daughters for this.

So he nodded slightly, signaling his daughters to serve tea and snacks.

"Thanks, Xi'er and Xing." The white-clad girls nodded.

"Um……"

Seele's Affection Level: 4750

Cocolia: "..."

No, you flirted with my daughter right in front of me?

……

Okay, Liu Bai just gave a very normal thank you.

However, Seele couldn't hide her feelings; her shy smile betrayed her thoughts.

Bronya's Affection Level: 3029

[Apricot favorability: 32]

The two girls beside him also gave him subtle, indifferent glances.

Yes, just like the proverb, "How can you win people's hearts if your breasts aren't big?"

Seele not only has the largest cup size in the entire orphanage, but she is also the darling of the entire orphanage...

Chapter 200 How is this person still alive?

Of course, the two of them only glanced at it, since this matter didn't have much to do with Liu Bai.

Well... to be a little unreasonable, you could say that Liu Bai looks like he's trying to seduce Xi'er.

However, the two of them wouldn't be so unable to distinguish right from wrong; it's obvious that Xi'er has feelings for Liu Bai.

However, a slight decline in personal senses is inevitable.

"Is there anything else urgent?"

No one noticed the change in Xing and Bronya's expressions, but Tesla couldn't wait to ask.

"If not, how about staying here for a few days?"

“I have to go back,” Rosalind said, raising her hand. “I still have a lot of things to oversee at the Far North Branch.”

"I didn't ask you."

Tesla made a comment.

Do you think we're that close?

“…Hmm?” Rosalyn raised an eyebrow and looked at Tesla coldly.

"Do you two really have to argue at a time like this?" Cocolia advised from the side.

These two personalities are bound to cause trouble if they stay together, but thankfully the important business is over now.

"Mr. Liu Bai, could you stay for a few days?" After persuading the two, X Coco O Liya helped complete the main mountain language and asked again.

"no problem."

Liu Bai nodded, knowing that many of the details here couldn't be resolved in just a day or two.

Putting everything else aside, just the matter of Kiana alone will likely require Mebius to return to the ruins of the Babylonian laboratory two or three more times, not to mention the sampling work that already needs to be carried out.

As for separating... there's no need to worry about that. Given the current relationship between the two, they can reunite at any time.

In addition, Liu Bai also knew why Rosalin was in a hurry to go back. After all, if Rosalin wasn't there, Kujavina and Rita would be in charge of the branch.

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one should not be without the intention to guard against others. Rosalyn's return is understandable.

"Then I'll head back now." Rosalyn stood up.

Normally, she wouldn't mind staying a little longer to play with the children, but given the current turmoil, she decided against it.

"Okay, after you finish your tea and snacks, I'll have Bronya take you home."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"By the way, Ms. Cocolia, when did you and Rosalind meet? During the Second Honkai Impact?"

At noon, Liu Bai, Peruvieri, and Cocolia watched Rosalind board the plane and leave. Liu Bai casually asked...

"Yes, the second Honkai Impact. At that time, I was a cadre in the district security team, mainly responsible for maintaining regional security. Back then, Siberia... no, I should say the entire far north was under the jurisdiction of Schicksal—of course, in such a place, we were actually quite idle."

Cocolia seemed happy to chat with Liu Bai about everyday things.

"This place is sparsely populated and there isn't much Honkai here. Apart from being a bit cold, there's nothing wrong with it—at least that's how it was before the Second Honkai. Then, the Second Honkai broke out, and coincidentally, I also encountered some things at the time, and I was just caught up in it without really knowing what was going on. I originally had a chance to escape."

"That's it..."

Is it about the duck parents?

“Actually, it was my superior smuggling supplies. From a normal person’s perspective, it’s a capital offense.” Cocolia explained before Liu Bai could ask, “I was a bit naive back then and reported it directly, but… when I went to the military court, everyone there was my superior’s man, so I went to jail.”

Liu Bai shrugged slightly, as if to express some sympathy for Cocolia.

“At that time, I was locked up and waiting to die, but… there is an old saying in China, ‘Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.’ When the second Honkai outbreak occurred, he happened to come to visit me in prison, and we got into an argument—and as soon as we finished arguing, before he had even taken two steps, he was hit by a Honkai beast and was on the verge of death. The entire prison was reduced to ruins in an instant.”

"It's quite a miracle."

“Yes.” Cocolia and Liu Bai walked back together.

"Then I took his gun and keys, intending to escape in his car, but his wife was still in the car; she was four months pregnant."

Cocolia sighed, "Alexei sold supplies for his wife, but from my current perspective, he might as well have taken a bribe."

"You took the pregnant woman with you?" Bai didn't quite understand why Cocolia was talking to him so intimately.

But since things have come to this point, let's continue down this line.

Do I look like the kind of person who would take away their enemy's wife?

"Yes, everyone has moments of passion and enthusiasm."

"..."

Cocolia, with her cool demeanor, tossed her hair.

This person's charisma is truly undeniable; a natural leader.

Cocolia's Affection Level: 3033

“You… never mind. Like you said, after I pointed the gun at her to quiet her down, I took her away. Actually, I still feel a little guilty about threatening a pregnant woman with a gun.”

Cocolia led Liu Bai around a corner.

“It’s lunchtime, let’s go eat. The cafeteria is over there—I can understand her husband’s, my boss’s, predicament. He has to support his wife. At that time, I was also using almost all of my salary to support the orphanage, but some things, once crossed…”

It's quite peculiar to hear such words from Cocolia.

But didn't Cocolia cross the line in the original storyline?

Well, although the anti-entropy in the original story was too loose, Cocolia's reason for taking a step beyond the boundaries was that "children cannot survive in this world without sufficient strength."

In order to find a way to make the body fully adapt to Honkai energy and turn the children in the orphanage into a new kind of human who can survive Honkai, Cocolia decided to sacrifice a few children—a few children with Stigmata or extremely high Honkai energy resistance—and thus the infamous X-10 Project was born.

Now Anti-Entropy is considered a normal organization. The leader is online normally, and the executors are quite close-knit. As long as the children in the orphanage are down-to-earth and receive a good education, they can easily find work in Anti-Entropy. Therefore, Cocolia has no reason to go astray.

"Finally, I ran wildly across the snowy plains and encountered Rosalind and Cecilia, who were then exterminating the Honkai Beasts. It's strange, though the ones who saved me were all chosen ones, I ended up becoming the executor of Anti-Entropy."

"So that means you have good taste?" In terms of atmosphere, Anti-Entropy is indeed much better than Destiny.

"Perhaps it's because I still have false accusations against me that I can't clear my name from."

Cocolia shook her head helplessly. Although, given the severity of the Second Honkai Impact, no one would have bothered to pursue this trivial matter.

The three of them pushed open the cafeteria door.

It didn't seem to be time for a proper meal yet. Although the food in the cafeteria smelled delicious, no children had arrived yet.

A group of middle-aged women were busy serving food at the food counter.

"Good afternoon, Cocolia. How did the operation go? Is this a new child?"

“It went very smoothly—by the way, this is the newly appointed Honorary Executive Officer. I would never adopt a child this big, Alexandra.”

Cocolia complained to a woman serving food at the food counter.

She looks to be in her thirties, with gray hair and double drills similar to Bronya's.

Plus the name...

"..."

Hey—! How come this person is still alive?!

Well, okay, a large part of this person's death is due to Yuto. The Honkai caused by Yuto could have made Bronya stillborn. It was only through a life-for-life exchange that Bronya was born. Without Yuto, it seems like this person would have had a normal birth.

"she……"

“She looks a lot like Bronya, doesn’t she?” Cocolia pointed to a few dishes on her plate and then introduced her to Liu Bai, “She’s the pregnant woman. Because of the chaos during the Second Honkai Impact, we just couldn’t leave her behind—even though she wanted to leave herself.”

"Who made it sound like you shot and killed Alexei?"

Alexandra, in turn, criticizes Cocolia.

“If someone points a gun at me and says, ‘Your husband is dead, and if you make any more noise I’ll shoot you dead,’ how could I not misunderstand?”

Although the two passages have no causal relationship, the environmental factors make them seem directly related.

"Don't you even think about how you're going to have a baby all by yourself?" Cocolia retorted.

Is a pregnant woman who has almost nothing left going to give birth by sheer willpower and determination?

"...I thought I still had my maternal family."

Alexandra sighed as she said this, thankfully she had long since accepted it.

"Moreover, there were also groups of refugees at the time, so it wasn't like no one was there to help them."
