“Haaah~ I’m so tired!”
Bai Hao pushed open the door of his house, tossed his school bag onto a chair, and then collapsed onto the sofa.
If Mei and Kiana were in front of Bai Hao's house, they would discover that Bai Hao was very rich!
Bai Hao’s home was a detached villa with a swimming pool, a garden, and a small courtyard; even Mei’s family villa wasn’t this big.
As for where such a large villa came from? What a joke, would the leader of an organization controlling multiple conglomerates not have a villa?
Bai Hao had both money and fame; his only drawback was that he was a bit lonely.
Just as Bai Hao’s eyes were about to close for a short rest, the bathroom door suddenly burst open with a “bang.”
The sound startled Bai Hao, causing him to slide off the sofa and hit his head on the floor.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch! What’s going on?”
“Bai Hao, where is this? I remember I should be in the school dorm, how did I end up in such a big house?”
Bai Hao froze upon hearing the familiar voice, ignoring the pain in his head. He shot up with a sudden burst of energy and darted in front of the young man who had just emerged from the bathroom.
“Liu Yi! You, how did you get here? This shouldn’t be happening.”
Liu Yi scratched his head, looking puzzled, and said, “Huh? I’m wondering myself. I just went to the toilet in the dorm, and when I came out, I found I wasn’t in the dorm anymore.
Never mind that, where is this? And where have you been for the past week?”
Bai Hao suddenly grabbed Liu Yi’s shoulders, his expression very agitated: “What did you say? I’ve been missing for a week!”
Liu Yi looked at Bai Hao, who had suddenly grabbed his shoulders and had a shocked expression, feeling a bit confused, but still explained to Bai Hao.
After listening, Bai Hao released Liu Yi and said with a solemn expression, “Liu Yi, I’m going to tell you the current situation, don’t get too excited.”
“Alright, I won’t get excited, go ahead and tell me, I’m completely lost right now.”
“You might not believe it, but you’ve transmigrated, and so have I. We’ve transmigrated into the world of honkai impact 3rd. I’ve been here for a longer time.
I arrived in honkai impact 3rd fifty thousand years ago, which was during the Previous Civilization era, while you just arrived now, during the New Civilization era. So…”
“So I can meet Kiana, right!”
Liu Yi’s eyes sparkled, his expression excited. Not only was the transmigration itself thrilling, but he could also meet his favorite character.
Both combined, the excitement doubled!
Bai Hao looked at the “Kiana Faction” member in front of him with a hint of speechlessness, wondering whether he should let him meet Kiana.
After all, this kid’s favorite was Kiana. If he were to do something out of line, Bai Hao didn’t know if Liu Yi would be embarrassed, but he certainly wouldn’t have the face to meet Kiana again.
Liu Yi’s previously excited body suddenly shivered. He felt like someone was plotting against him. Following the feeling, he saw Bai Hao staring at him.
Liu Yi then realized he was a bit too excited, so he coughed and said, “Bai Hao, don’t look at me like that, it makes me shy.”
Bai Hao immediately got goosebumps and raised his hand to slap him. Liu Yi saw Bai Hao raise his hand and initially thought of letting Bai Hao hit him to get it over with, but then he remembered Bai Hao’s words: “I arrived in honkai impact 3rd fifty thousand years ago, which was during the Previous Civilization era.”
“Bai Hao came to this world during the Previous Civilization era, which means Bai Hao has already lived for fifty thousand years, and he even survived the end of the Previous Civilization. So, this means Bai Hao is either a Herrscher or a Fusion Warrior, or at the very least, an immortal. Therefore, if that slap lands, I will die!!!”
Thinking of this, Liu Yi was so scared that he dodged Bai Hao’s slap in a flash. He looked at the floor, which now had a handprint, and felt lingering fear: “You scared me to death, good thing I reacted quickly. Brother Hao, it’s not that serious, not that serious. I promise I absolutely won’t do anything out of line. Please put your hand back.”
Bai Hao retracted his palm and looked at him, then propped his chin with one hand, as if contemplating something.
“Bai Hao, why are you looking at me like that? Let me say this first, I absolutely won’t do anything that crosses my bottom line!”
Bai Hao said nothing, continuing to stare at him. Liu Yi felt an itch all over from being stared at, but he didn't dare to move. Two minutes passed like this.
The two minutes, which would normally feel very quick, felt like two years for Liu Yi at that moment.
“Take off your clothes!”
“Eh?! You, what do you want to do? Don’t come over here! (╯°□°）╯”
Liu Yi resisted fiercely, but it was all in vain. After two seconds of struggle, Liu Yi was pinned to the sofa by Bai Hao.
“Brother Bai, calm down!”
Bai Hao ignored Liu Yi’s screams and grabbed the back of Liu Yi’s shirt.
“Rip!”
Liu Yi’s clothes were torn off by Bai Hao. Liu Yi lay on the sofa, looking utterly despondent.
Bai Hao didn't care about that. He stared at the pattern on Liu Yi’s back, his eyes full of joy as he said, “Indeed, you possess a Stigmata!”
“Eh? What’s wrong with you?”
Bai Hao looked at his despondent expression, utterly confused. It was just to see if he had a Stigmata, why was he acting like a bullied young wife?
As a male, it was very difficult to protect oneself when Honkai descended, as males generally had low Honkai energy adaptability, unless they were males with strong Honkai adaptability who had already awakened a Stigmata; otherwise, they simply couldn't withstand the Honkai’s erosion.
As his good friend, how could Bai Hao not consider Liu Yi's well-being?
He had originally thought that even if Liu Yi didn't have a Stigmata, he would use the energy of a Herrscher Core to create one for him.
But he felt the power of a Stigmata on Liu Yi’s body, so he was eager to verify it.
“Ah? What did you say! I have a Stigmata! So that means I can survive during the Honkai! Yay!”
Liu Yi suddenly scrambled up from the sofa, cheering excitedly. It was a good thing Bai Hao had gotten off him, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground.
Bai Hao looked at the cheering Liu Yi, and an idea popped into his mind: he would use the power of the Herrscher of Finality Core to strengthen Liu Yi’s Stigmata, making him a Fusion Warrior of the New Civilization era!
But if he wanted to do that, he would have to go to Shanhai Base, because only there were the genes of powerful Honkai Beasts!
“Liu Yi, do you want to become a Fusion Warrior!”
Liu Yi’s body suddenly trembled, and then he said with a touch of melancholy, “Yes! But the Fusion Warrior surgery…”
“I can do it, because I am a Fusion Warrior! And because of me, the success rate of Fusion Warrior surgery is over seventy percent!”
“Really! Then I want to become a Fusion Warrior, artificial Honkai Eruption is super cool, alright!”
Seeing his agreement, Bai Hao nodded and said, “Alright then! Come with me!”
After speaking, he pulled open the secret compartment in the living room wall. Liu Yi, with an excited heart, followed Bai Hao inside.
After the two walked through a corridor, an elevator appeared before them.
“This is…”
“This is the elevator to our destination, come on up, I’ll take you to our destination.”
Bai Hao stood in the elevator and said to Liu Yi. This elevator required Bai Hao’s authorization to activate, so there was no need to worry about its security.
The elevator doors closed, and five minutes later, the two arrived in front of an iron door. Xiezhi detected Bai Hao and opened the iron door.
“My Lord, why have you returned?”
Xiezhi asked, looking at Bai Hao, and at the same time looked at Liu Yi beside Bai Hao, saying, “My Lord, who is this?”
Liu Yi looked at the illusory girl floating in the air and immediately understood that this was an AI like Ai-chan.
“His name is Liu Yi, he is my friend. From now on, he is Qiongqi!”
Bai Hao turned around and looked at Liu Yi, saying, “Liu Yi, from now on you are officially a member of us, because only then can I perform the Fusion Warrior surgery for you. Let me reintroduce myself.”
“I am the Lord, the leader of Shanhai. From now on, your codename is Qiongqi! Welcome to Shanhai!”
