I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 892

Qiong reached out and, as if picking up a chick waiting to be slaughtered, grabbed the scruff of the neck of Cupid's Fate and brought it up in front of her.

The snow-white little beast didn't struggle or resist at all from beginning to end. Its ruby-like eyes blinked innocently, revealing a cute and heartwarming smile, trying its best to be adorable.

"I was tricked by something that looked similar to it before, but unfortunately I didn't catch the real thing back then."

Under Emerald's slightly surprised gaze, Qiong smiled and took the Galaxy Baseball from Xing's hand.

With a sudden jerk lift of her arm, Qiong tossed the adorable white creature high into the air, like a tennis player serving a ball.

He swung the Galaxy bat in a wide arc and hit a home run right at Cupid's adorable head.

Bang~!

A dull thud that made your teeth ache, like a ripe watermelon being smashed with a blunt object.

The small white beast instantly transformed into a blurry afterimage, soaring hundreds of meters into the sky with a piercing whistling sound.

Then, like a broken rag doll, it fell heavily and lifelessly back to the ground.

Even with its flattened lips, it still maintained a flawless smile.

"so."

Qiong then slowly turned to Emerald, her face still bearing that bright, sunny smile.

"Can I borrow your familiar to vent my anger?"

"..."

Emerald was momentarily stunned as she stared at the seemingly lifeless Cupid.

Qiong was truly lacking in martial ethics. Starting with zero frames, he executed a series of moves, including the Stardust Ace and the Resting Home Run, with such fluid and skillful execution that she couldn't stop him in time.

"I've never heard of the Nameless Guest having such a unique alliance invitation ceremony?"

Jade laughed, whether from being amused or from being angry, it was hard to tell.

He was not angry.

"Yes, that's one way to understand it."

Qiong casually handed the baseball bat, which was covered in some unidentified white fuzz, to Emerald and enthusiastically promoted it:

"Give it a try? It feels amazing and is very stress-relieving."

"?"

Jade's eye twitched almost imperceptibly.

"Really? I'll give it a try!"

Before Emerald could answer, Star eagerly grabbed his bat, bent down to pick up the limp body of Cupid from the ground, tossed it into the air, and then unleashed an even wilder swing.

call out--

Splat!

Kyubey transformed into a beam of white light, soaring thousands of meters into the sky before crashing into a pile of rubble once again.

Wow~ It feels surprisingly bouncy and chewy!

Xing shrugged, looking on with curiosity.

"I feel refreshed after the treatment. My back and legs don't ache anymore, and I even have the energy to rummage through the trash!"

"I hope you two have a good time. But what are you planning to pledge, ah, what are you going to compensate me for in exchange for the life of your familiar? It's a very valuable thing, you know."

Emerald remained calm, smiling as she looked at the starry sky, though her snake-like pupils gave the impression of her staring at her prey.

The value of this mysterious familiar far exceeds that of Sakura Kyoko, who is the main Lancer Heroic Spirit. It's not a difference of one or two times, but a difference of a thousand or ten thousand times.

Behind the other side is a vast and ancient super civilization that stands at the pinnacle of another cosmic civilization and even consciously shoulders the 'salvation mission' of preventing the destruction of the universe.

If a connection is successfully established, the benefits that the incubator civilization can bring to the company may be no less than the sum of the benefits of one or two geniuses.

Technology, knowledge, and the interdimensional market are enough to drive the entire board of directors of the Interstellar Peace Corporation crazy.

Of course, things won't be that easy, but it is ultimately possible, namely, the potential valuation is extremely high.

"compensate?"

Xing was about to say that even though she took away piles of Black Tower's artifacts and killed Ruan Mei's experimental subjects, they didn't dare ask me for money. But you just open your mouth and want to ask me for compensation?

He immediately realized that the person opposite him wasn't Scott, but Toppa's senior, and scratched his head, looking at his own little one.

"How about I give you Qiongzai? He's very useful, fully automatic, and can satisfy any rich woman."

"..."

The smile on Emerald's face began to freeze.

"By the way, when I went to Ciyu Pawnshop last time, I mentioned that I wanted to become the company's chairman. Wasn't the price you mentioned something like 'that is a bipedal creature... with a round head, long ears, and the ability to speak human language, and the tail of an animal related to exploration'?"

Qiong seemed to suddenly remember something, and carrying the tattered Kyubey, she spoke as if she were a butcher selling pork to a customer, introducing the meat as very good.

"I think Cupid fits the bill perfectly. Its tail is good, right? This time it's the real deal. You can't try to fool me with a fake again."

You killed my Heroic Spirit's familiar and came to me for collateral?

"Is it related to pioneering?"

"We just attacked it, so now we're involved in the pioneering efforts."

The smile on Jade's face froze completely.

Having navigated the business world for many years, as the owner of Ciyu Pawnshop, she has seen all sorts of people and is very good at maintaining her composure, never revealing her true emotions on her face.

But when faced with the starry sky, it was really hard to stay focused.

It is neither foolishness nor conceit, nor is it related to desire. The former is alright, it is just a simple abstraction.

Qiong has a touch of the madness one feels when facing the masked fool.

Especially when thinking about all the amazing things Qiong did at Pinocchio, Emerald realized for the first time what it meant that no matter how good one's self-control is, it can't withstand a capable lunatic.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Jade adjusted her emotions.

"Haha, just kidding, why so serious?"

Qiong switched back to her playful, smiling mode and spread her hands.

"Ms. Emerald doesn't usually play games or read comics or watch anime, right? Familiars, generally speaking, won't die as long as their master doesn't die."

"This familiar must be set up this way."

"Yes."

The hatcher, emerging from the shadows, ran straight to the foot of the star, pulled the dead corpse over, and ate it in small bites.

"Khubi? What's this?"

Emerald paused, staring at the cute white beast wagging its tail and feeding on the corpse.

Without leaving a trace, they ate the meat and bones together.

This scene would cause physical discomfort to ordinary people, especially since the incubator, with its cute appearance, does such a cruel and bloody thing, which is even more likely to bring a strong visual impact.

Of course, this didn't frighten Emerald; she was only surprised by Cupid's resurrection and his absurd actions at this moment.

"It's just for the sake of efficient resource recycling. For incubators, waste is not a good habit, but it may be a little hard to accept from a human perspective."

After quickly finishing the corpse, Kyubey wiped his mouth, his red eyes fixed on the two people in front of him.

He showed no fear whatsoever at having just beaten the murderer to death like a baseball.

"Based on human psychological models, the probability of them attacking me for this reason is extremely low... Strange, why would they attack me?"

Kyubey tilted its head, looking incredibly cute.

"As I said, this is just a small lesson for the fraudsters."

Xing weighed the bat in his hand, eager to try, seemingly considering whether to hit it again.

"Fraudster? I have never committed any fraud. The incubator never lies."

Cupid spoke in a sincere tone.

The red crystal eyes reflected the sky's image.

"Is there unresolved interference in the individual? Is it impossible to measure?"

Cupid tilted his head, turned to gaze at the star, as if he had seen something, then jumped in front of the star and spoke without warning:

"Special talent and entangled karma... Please sign a contract with me and become a magical girl!"

Under the surprised gazes of Qiong and Emerald, Kyubey extended an invitation to Xing.

"Hey, even though you're a scammer, you have a good eye."

Xing's cat mouth twitched up smugly, hands on hips.

"But, I don't want to invest, buy a car, buy a house, or take out online loans... I'm already a magical girl."

She can use rubies to transform into the magical girl Star, but because each time a ruby ​​is transferred to a new owner, Star rarely uses it.

I only used it once to increase Qiongzai's attack speed and critical hit rate while in bed.

Jade shook her head slightly. This sales tactic... was indeed tailor-made for teenage girls whose minds were full of fantasies.

That's too direct.

"Already a magical girl?"

Cupid couldn't understand what the stars were saying.

"Your soul structure is stable, no miracles have been observed, and you do not meet the standards for a magical girl."

"You're not the only one offering magical girls; it's time to change your marketing methods and package policies."

Qiong instructed Seele to transfer the ruby ​​through the system space and throw it to Xing.

“Give it a magical girl transformation, Starbaby.”

"Hmph~ Leave it to me~!"

A star streaks across his face as he strikes the Kamen Rider transformation pose and uses the ruby ​​to transform.

The dress features white short sleeves with puffy cuffs secured by gold ribbons, and two bows on either side. The main colors are black and green, accented with gold and gray.

"...A magical girl from another world?"

Cupid tilted his head to the side.

"If an outer universe exists, then the existence of magical girls is also possible, but your power does not contain any miracles."

Cupid blinked.

Like a salesperson belittling their peers.

Just as it was about to continue its sales pitch, Qiong raised her hand to interrupt it and asked about the blind spot she had previously identified.

"Why do you want to sign a contract with her? What does this special cause and effect refer to?"

Emerald also looked at Cupid with curiosity, wanting to see if the so-called incubator was really as Cupid claimed, and wouldn't lie.

"The breadth of thinking of mature individuals is indeed superior to that of human infants."

Cupid sighed; it had no intention of lying.

Rather, the incubators simply don't have the concept of lying.

When faced with a question they don't want to answer, they will avoid answering, give the cold shoulder, or change the subject, but they will never lie.

"Her soul aptitude is extremely special, with a special cause and effect... In your world's terms, it's a cause and effect related to [expansion]."

Cupid's bright eyes gazed at the stars, as if he could see something on another level.

"open up?"

Jade expressed a puzzled surprise.

It is only natural for an anonymous traveler to walk the path of [pioneering].

But clearly, Kyubey wasn't simply referring to embarking on a destiny. She had previously asked Kyubey if her young subordinates were qualified, and the answer was no.

What is this cause and effect?
