I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Xing quickly made a promise, and at the same time, she swiftly took out a limited edition rare candy from the All-Powerful Synthesizer and stuffed it into March 7's slightly open mouth.

Although the girl's fair cheeks were still puffed up with anger, her mouth very honestly accepted the food automatically.

Little March's brain and mouth have always been independent systems, each operating on its own.

Her cheeks puffed out a few times, and the anger on her face was instantly replaced by curiosity.

"Hey, what flavor is this?"

She's so easy to please~

"Xing, why did you steal the manhole cover?"

Liu Ying glanced at Qiong, who had a serious expression on his face as if he were studying unearthed artifacts, and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is not stealing!"

Star Instinct counters the argument:

"How can the actions of the anonymous visitor be considered stealing? This is called pioneering spirit..."

Then came some incomprehensible words, such as "I picked this up!" and "I forgot to turn off auto-pickup," which made Liu Ying cover her mouth and chuckle.

She found Xing's sophistry surprisingly reasonable, and the way he talked nonsense with such a straight face... was really cute.

"Isn't it?"

March 7th stared at Firefly with disbelief.

You call this cute?

Back in the Immortal Ship, every time Xiao Sanyue was caught and reprimanded by the Earthly Balance Division, she would deeply reflect on what kind of bewitching potion Xing and Qiong had given her, that she would repeatedly indulge and even cooperate with their mischief.

I never expected this!

There's someone here who's even more severely poisoned!

"As expected of Liuying, her eyesight is truly remarkable!"

Once Xing received approval, she immediately sprang to her feet from her kneeling position and began to lecture March 7 with a serious expression:

“Ah Qi, you still need to work on your cognitive abilities.”

"Hey~ I'll give you two punches, and teach you a lesson about teapots!"

"So, it's because this manhole cover is... uh, a treasure chest, a crystal?"

As they spent more time together, Liu Ying noticed that Xing Qiong would often inexplicably mistake certain things around him for treasure chests and crystals, but she didn't think the two of them were acting crazy.

How energetic!

They have a great spirit of exploration!

"No, although it comes with crystal, the manhole cover itself is equally important."

Qiong, who had been observing seriously for a long time, spoke up:

"This is no ordinary manhole cover; it's a manhole cover with a destiny!"

"what?"

Liu Ying looked bewildered.

"What?"

Little March scratched her head in bewilderment and leaned over to carefully examine the rusty iron lump.

"There's nothing there? It's just an ordinary, unremarkable manhole cover."

"Ah Qi, your perception isn't deep enough!"

Qiong picked up the manhole cover with a pained expression, pointing to the mottled rust on it.

"Look at these patterns, these directions, they're like a pre-programmed, intricate program, containing boundless wisdom and logic. This is a well cover of wisdom!"

Knowledge... and manhole covers?

Are these two words that can be combined?

On March 7th, I felt I was speechless with frustration.

Qiong wanted to say something more, but his gaze was drawn to something in the distance, and he ran over to it amidst the surprised looks of March 7th and Firefly.

As if they were telepathically connected, Xing and Xing darted away almost simultaneously.

March 7th and Firefly exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.

Then, they saw Xingqiong squatting down next to... another manhole cover with a strange expression.

"Can you feel it, Ah Xing?"

Qiong said in a deep voice.

"Yes, I can feel it, Qiongzai."

Xing nodded solemnly.

The somber atmosphere immediately made March 7th and Firefly tense.

"What's wrong? Did you find something?"

Firefly's hand was already gripping the transformation device.

"Are there... enemies below?"

March 7th also immediately went on alert, looking around.

"Enemy? No, it isn't."

Xing looked at Liuying and March 7th with surprise:

"Can't you feel it? The steam under this manhole cover is singing a song, and every water molecule is holding hands, sharing each other's joy."

Xing opened his arms and solemnly declared in an aria-like tone:

"This is a manhole cover with the character '同谐' (tóngxié) on it!"

What the hell is this homophonic manhole cover?!

On March 7th, he slapped his forehead and let out a long, desperate, and powerless sigh.

"As a manhole cover, it may not be the strongest, but it guides every wisp of weak steam."

Xing looked solemn.

"Every water molecule lives in harmony under its protection, and countless water molecules gather into a song, rushing towards the embrace of the sky under the guidance of the manhole cover."

Qiong tacitly took over the conversation.

The two sang in unison, and March 7's eye twitched slightly.

"When the intense sunlight falls from the stars, only free water molecules can escape their destined demise."

That sounds like it actually has a philosophical undertone... Yeah, right!

Does this have anything to do with credit points for manhole covers?!

"The manhole cover will not stop them from moving forward because of danger. What it does is to pave the final path for the steam to ascend to the sky with its solid body before the steam rushes to the sky!"

Why was Liu Ying still able to listen so attentively?!

Even nodding in agreement?

"The strong help the weak, that's harmony!"

On March 7th, she gave up thinking and stared numbly at the two lovable creatures with eyes that had lost their luster.

"The manhole cover is truly remarkable; it has silently contributed so much to the water molecules..."

Deeply moved, Liu Ying squatted down and couldn't help but reach out her hand to the cold manhole cover, her eyes filled with respect.

"Huh?!"

March 7th's eyes widened instantly like copper bells, his beady pupils almost bulging out of their sockets.

Is she the only one who can't understand?

Do you actually feel harmony?

March 7th frantically pulled at her hair, looking at the Starry Nightingale around the manhole cover, unsure whether to stop them or stay away from this mentally polluted area.

Passersby gradually caught the same question mark look on their faces, casting glances that were a mixture of confusion and concern for the mentally challenged.

Do these people have some serious illness?

"With such a noble will, you shouldn't stay here in obscurity."

Qiong extended a sincere invitation to the manhole cover.

"Go, manhole cover, there are still many more water molecules in this world that need your guidance. You are destined to achieve even greater things, and your name will resound throughout the stars!"

"In addition, I will also take you to find the fat carp."

The manhole cover responded to the invitation with silence.

Silence is the attitude of Cambridge tonight, and also of the manhole cover.

"Great, it's accepted."

Qiong nodded in satisfaction.

I'm assuming you're a bubble teapot!

It's just a manhole cover!

And what the heck is this "Fat Carp"?!

March 7th watched with a distorted expression as Qiong solemnly removed the manhole cover.

Qiong casually put the five crystals into her pocket.

Xing did not try to compete for it, since Qiong was the one who discovered it first.

The discovery of a second manhole cover means that there are more manhole covers in this area.

They exchanged a glance, both able to see the burning light in each other's eyes.

"Hey! Where are you guys trying to go again?!"

Amidst the shouts of March 7th and Firefly, the two sped off like unleashed huskies, diving into alleyways to begin a thorough search.

The two met up again shortly afterward.

"I collected three."

"I have three here too."

"Only the last destroyed manhole cover is needed to collect all seven manhole covers and summon the Manhole Cover Star God to grant my wish!"

"You've already stolen six?!"

On March 7th, the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and his expression became distorted.

"What kind of strange concept is this, 'Seven manhole covers summoning a star god'?"

"And what if someone falls into the sewer?"

"Then I can only wish her good luck. Anyway, you can't die in a dream."

Qiong clasped his hands together, his expression devout.

"Yes."

The husband and wife are in perfect harmony.

No mercy.jpg

March 7th could only silently follow behind the two, along with Firefly, who still looked cheerful as if she were participating in some great undertaking.

They watched as the two raccoons would occasionally rummage through corners and rummage through trash cans to find odds and ends and stuff them into their backpacks, until they finally found what they thought was the last manhole cover.

"Woo woo woo! Qiongzai!"

Xing suddenly stopped in front of a manhole cover that was emitting scalding hot steam, his face full of excitement.

"This surging, roaring heat energy is absolutely true."

Qiong's eyes were sharp.
