Collapse: Start as a Mimic Herrscher

Lu Ren followed the scream and saw Baili Yu, who was walking around anxiously, as if something had happened to him.

Lu Ren: Are there only a few people in such a huge city like Saint Freya? How come I can meet them every time?

"What's wrong?" Lu Ren asked.

"Well, Lu Ren, you're back." Baili Yu turned around and said in surprise after hearing the familiar voice.

"Yes, I'm back. I saw you walking around here. What happened?" Lu Ren nodded.

"It's not a big deal. I just lost my wallet and now I have no money to eat." Baili Yu's face felt a little hot. After all, it was very embarrassing to talk about embarrassing things in front of others.

"That's nothing. I'll pay for the meal."

"Oh, really?" Baili Yu looked at Lu Ren with some surprise.

"Just give me your phone." Lu Renti requested.

"Okay." Baili Yu didn't think much about it and directly handed the phone to Lu Ren.

"Hey hey hey, host, you are not going to borrow online loans, are you?" The system asked hurriedly after seeing Lu Ren's operation.

"You're borrowing money online just to have a meal. Besides, isn't lending money online to others murder in disguise?" Lu Ren complained. He didn't think about it in this way at all.

"So what are you going to do, host?"

"Just watch this."

Lu Ren opened the social software, accurately found Kiana's account, and sent a message.

"Kiana, I'm Lu Ren, V me 50, I need urgent help, I'll pay you back next time we meet."

"Host, is this your method? What's the difference between this and I Am Qin Shi Huang?" It was obvious that the system was speechless by Lu Ren's method.

"Don't make judgments so easily. Look, this is a reply to my message." Lu Ren said, pointing at the screen.

"I understand the reason, but why don't you use your own phone?"

"I was thinking so too. It broke down at Anti-Entropy. I haven't asked Otto to pay for it yet."

"Does this also need to be reimbursed?"

Lu Ren glared at the system and said, "Why should I spend money when I can do it for free?"

Then Lu Ren's gaze returned to the screen.

"I am Qin Shi Huang, I want money."

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter." The system burst into laughter. "See what I said was right."

"This shouldn't happen. Why is this happening?" Lu Ren said depressedly as he looked at the words on the phone screen.

At this time, on the other side, in Kiana and the others’ dormitory.

"Bronya, what are you doing? Come over and eat." Mei shouted at the dining table.

Bronya looked at Kiana's phone in her hand, which contained the message she had just sent.

"You little liar, it's enough to deceive Kiana, but unfortunately her phone is in my hands now."

Thinking of this, she sent another message.

"What's wrong? Why don't you V-50 me? I really am the Qin Shi Huang of Shenzhou."

After sending the message, Bronya placed her phone on the sofa and ran to the dining table.

"Bronya, what did you do with my phone just now?" Kiana, who was concentrating on eating, raised her head and asked.

Bronya glanced at Kiana and said, "I helped you once."

"What?" Kiana, who has a simple mind, couldn't understand why Bronya said that. However, this Riddler-like way of speaking would be incomprehensible to anyone, so it's not Kiana's fault.

So when will Kiana, the Riddler, disappear? What, I am also a Riddler, then it’s okay.

The camera switched back to Lu Ren's side. Baili Yu saw Lu Ren's livid face and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Lu Ren?"

"There's a small problem. Let's go directly to the cafeteria." Lu Ren adjusted his facial expression and returned the phone to Baili Yu.

"Host, do you have money on you?" the system asked.

"Of course... I didn't bring it." Lu Ren said proudly.

"Is there anything to be proud of?" the system complained.

"You don't understand this. In the Mihoyo universe, not carrying money is a standard for the strong. If I don't carry money, doesn't it mean that I am a strong person?"

"I'd like to call you a genius of logic. What's the difference? Which strong man never carries a wallet when he goes out? What's the difference between you and a social loser?"

"Actually, you could have mentioned it by name, there's no need to be so euphemistic."

"Anyway, I have a way." Lu Ren told the system not to worry, he would have a way to eat.

The two of them walked on the road like this. Since Lu Ren was out on a mission, Baili Yu kept asking Lu Ren where he had been.

Lu Ren thought that Otto didn't tell him not to tell anyone else, so he briefly told Baili Yu about it. Of course, Lu Ren didn't tell her about the illness on the plane.

"Tsk tsk tsk, when will I be able to go out on missions like you, Lu Ren?" Baili Yu said enviously after listening.

"But these missions are somewhat dangerous. Aren't you afraid?"

"From the moment I joined Tianming, my personal life and death is no longer very important." Baili Yu said after a moment of silence.

"Why?" Lu Ren looked at Baili Yu with some surprise.

"My parents were killed by Honkai beasts. When the people from Destiny found me, I was already dying."

Baili Yu started talking, and her gaze seemed to have returned to the past.

"At that time, they discovered that I had stigmata on my back, so they rescued me and saved my life."

Lu Ren glanced at Baili Yu. He really didn't expect that Baili Yu was a natural sage mark awakener. This is a one in a million existence.

Afterwards, Lu Ren listened silently to how Baili Yu gradually determined his goal and entered St. Freya Academy.

"I'm sorry, Lu Ren, I think I talked too much." Baili Yu came to his senses and found that he had walked into the cafeteria, while Lu Ren on the side had been listening silently without saying a word.

"It's okay. It's not good to keep this kind of thing in your heart. Just let it out."

Lu Ren understood that this might be because Baili Yu had encountered something recently, and the negative emotions had been piling up in her heart. Lu Ren's question just now gave her an opportunity to talk.

"I didn't expect Baili Yu's life experience to be like this. No wonder she hardly ever talked about her parents." The system sighed in Lu Ren's mind.

"Yes, these things gave her the motivation to move forward, but also put heavy pressure on her. If she keeps it in her heart, something bad will happen sooner or later." Lu Ren also spoke with emotion.

"Host, why is it that you didn't even finish high school, but you have so many theories, like an old sow wearing a bra."

"It even has some rhyme to it, not bad." Lu Ren praised.

"No, I'm talking to you about this, can you please grasp the key points?"

"Hahahahaha, well, I have to go and solve the eating problem between Baili Yu and me. I won't chat with you, Tongzi." Lu Ren scratched his head and avoided the topic with a laugh.

"I [Cybertron language]." The system said something strange.

"Now I understand!"
