Starting from the Collapse World, I became the behind-the-scenes boss

"You said I can make requests."

Peggy immediately reiterated, "If you go back on your word, I'll... I'll... bite you again!"

As she spoke, the girl grinned, revealing a slightly fierce and endearing expression.

Having known the boy for many years, she had worked very hard to get this opportunity, so naturally she wouldn't give it up easily.

"OK then."

Sensing the firmness in the girl's tone, Shihen could only nod helplessly.

After a while...

Peggy sank into the sofa, feeling the weight on her thighs, and her mind went completely blank.

Although she did mention lap pillows, isn't that a bit too... too ahead of its time?

Feeling the heat emanating from the boy's breath, Peggy's body involuntarily tensed up.

"Do you need me to hypnotize you?"

Noticing the girl's nervousness, Shihen asked her very considerately.

In this situation, Peggy obviously had a hard time falling asleep and completely missed the half-day holiday that Shi Bao had secured for her.

After all, once they've stolen half a day of free time, the other party will definitely have to work overtime to make up for it.

"No, no need, this is fine..."

Peggy whispered, looking down at the boy's profile peeking out from her lap, and suddenly felt a surge of heat throughout her body, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Despite this, she suppressed her embarrassment and maintained the status quo, refusing to tell the boy to leave.

She has fallen far behind in this war.

Now that she finally has a chance to move forward, how could she be willing to give it up?

"Fine……"

With a puzzled sigh, Shihen did not force the girl to make a choice.

Tilting his head to rest his cheek on the black stockings, Shihen fell into deep thought again, continuing to train his mental strength.

Even a genius like him needs to accumulate strength through daily practice.

As for a certain system that is almost forgotten, it only provided some insignificant help in the process.

As he pondered this, feeling the soft, delicate touch on his cheek, Shihen couldn't help but consider the feasibility of persuading the white-haired ball of fur to change into black stockings.

Or perhaps white stockings would be a better match?

Chapter 151 Recognizing Treasures Leads to Encountering Darkness

Late at night, at the Anti-Entropy base.

boom!

With a dull thud, the vending machine in the corner trembled violently before obediently spitting out a can of soda.

Without any hesitation, the girl with long gray hair and an ordinary figure picked up the free bottle of soda, opened it, and took a big gulp, which relieved most of the annoyance on her face.

Even so, the girl couldn't help but mutter to herself, "That old fogey with such a rigid mindset, I just used my ability casually, and he said I violated someone's right to privacy and made me apologize to those guys?"

She doesn't even think about it properly. If it weren't for me, would Anti-Entropy have been able to catch so many spies so quickly?

If it weren't for me, Anti-Entropy would still be a mess because of all this scum!

"If it weren't for me, that old relic would still be trapped in a feather dust!"

As she spoke, the girl's expression grew increasingly innocent and resentful, as if she had suffered some great injustice, and she couldn't help but kick the wall a few times.

Despite the loud bangs, the concrete wall remained completely intact, without even a single shoe print.

This is a matter of course.

Even if she possessed the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, she didn't want to be constantly nagged by that old fogey if she just demolished the surrounding houses.

Moreover, appropriately restraining one's power is also a sign of maturity!

With that thought in mind, a healthy smile immediately appeared on the girl's face. She tilted her head back and drank the remaining half of the soda in one gulp.

Bang!

With a slight stretch of her arm, she tossed the empty can into the trash can from dozens of meters away. A smile of lingering satisfaction appeared on the girl's face, and she immediately turned her head, wanting to do another round of free shopping.

But the next second, a cool sensation suddenly spread across her cheek, and a gentle voice rang out at the same time:

"Xiao Shi, did you forget to bring change?"

Even vending machines will break down if they are frequently subjected to violence.

Turning to look at the smiling boy beside him, Shi Bao gritted his teeth, snatched the bottled soda from the other's hand, gulped down half of it in one go, and then stubbornly said, "Hmph! I just like it this way, what can you do to me!?"

Besides, I've told you so many times, don't call me "Xiaoshi"!

Her eyebrows suddenly arched, and the great Herrscher of Knowledge emphasized this, while inwardly she began to curse Fu Hua.

If it weren't for that old fogey setting a bad precedent, her title wouldn't have become what it is now, completely lacking any dignity.

"Okay, Xiaoshi..."

In response, Shihen simply smiled and gave Shibao a caring look.

When the other party returned to Anti-Entropy with Fu Hua, their position as the team's junior was already predetermined.

As he thought about it, watching the girl drink her soda without any hindrance, a hint of surprise still flashed in Shihen's eyes.

Yes, without a doubt, the treasure at this moment is none other than Yu Duchen in form.

Even though Fu Hua had said she was willing to share a body with the Herrscher of Knowledge, the Herrscher of Knowledge, who was always proud, was unwilling to compromise and preferred to move around in the form of Feathered Dust rather than share a body with Fu Hua.

After all, unlike the two Seele characters who are clearly dominant and submissive, Fu Hua is quite mature and loves to pursue freedom. Naturally, the gap between the two is much larger than that between Seele and Fu Hua.

The only thing that puzzled Shihen was that Fu Hua in her Feathered Dust form still seemed like a ghost and couldn't significantly interfere with reality, but Shi Bao in his Feathered Dust form could eat, drink, and have fun, as if he had a complete physical body.

This can probably only be explained by the omnipotent Honkai.

"Was it that old fogey who sent you again?"

Unaware that someone was secretly criticizing him, Shi Bao glanced at the boy and asked.

She sensed a portion of Yu Duchen's power from the other party.

Undoubtedly, Fu Hua concealed the truth for the boy, allowing him to avoid her perception.

Otherwise, even though her connection to the Herrscher core was almost severed and she was only in the Feather Dust form and could not exert the full power of the Herrscher, she would still be able to detect someone approaching her.

"The class monitor is very worried about you."

As Shihen sat down on the bench with Shibao, he smiled and said, a hint of helplessness rising in his heart.

It was clearly a quarrel between Shi Bao and Fu Hua, but in the end, it was this third-generation leader who came out to mediate. Is he being used as some kind of mediator?

As for things like the Honkai Succubus, he knew absolutely nothing about them.

"Ha! An old fogey would worry about me? Don't try to fool me!"

That woman would love to get as far away from me as possible, so I wouldn't cause her any more trouble!

Upon hearing the boy's words, Shi Bao couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, his expression showing no sign of softening.

"If that's the case, then the class monitor wouldn't have asked me to come."

Seeing the resistance in Shi Bao's heart, Shi Hen still smiled and said, "The class monitor is also regretting it now. She feels that she was not calm enough at the time and that her tone was too harsh."

Perhaps the lessons learned from the previous civilization were too painful, or perhaps her moral standards were too high, but Fu Hua's attitude towards Shi Bao, who recklessly used his power and spied on others' memories, was indeed a bit harsh.

Hmm, it gives off a feeling of Tang Sanzang scolding Sun Wukong.

Although Fu Hua's serious punch could kill an Emperor-level Honkai Beast, Shi Bao's discerning eyes could not see through the various disguises he had set up.

But considering their moral character, this statement is quite appropriate.

"If she really regrets it, why doesn't she come and apologize herself?!"

Seeing the boy's sincere expression, Shi Bao began to believe him to some extent, but he still stubbornly refused to back down.

Shi Hen: “…”

That gets to the heart of the matter.

Faced with Shi Bao's angry departure from home, Fu Hua felt a little guilty, but not much.

Therefore, what Fu Hua truly entrusted to him was to make Shi Bao realize his mistakes and from then on restrain his temper and stop acting recklessly.

After all, it's important to start educating children early. If they are spoiled, Shi Bao will really become a brat.

Sigh, he's clearly just the leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance who has no power whatsoever, I don't know where Fu Hua gets her confidence that she can persuade the always stubborn Herrscher of Knowledge.

Could this immortal really think he's some kind of broken succubus?

Thinking to himself, Shihen smiled and explained, "Probably, the class monitor hopes that we can both calm down during this time."

Otherwise, you might start arguing again as soon as you meet.

"That seems to make sense..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Bao nodded thoughtfully.

If the first person she encounters is an old fogey, it seems likely that she will indeed reload her save and continue arguing with him about the previous topic.

Just like when she once argued with the other party about her identity for more than half a month.

In such situations, an arbitrator with sufficient influence is indeed more suitable than an old-fashioned one.

As he was thinking, his gaze fell on the young man in front of him, and Shi Bao immediately grinned and said, "Shi Hen, since you are the leader of this so-called Anti-Entropy Alliance, then you can be the judge for us."

Tell me yourself, haven't I done a lot of work to help you reduce entropy?

As she spoke, Shi Bao puffed out her chest slightly, her aloof face, just like Fu Hua's, filled with pride, practically screaming "Praise me!"

"Objectively speaking, Xiao Shi, you have indeed made an outstanding contribution, saving us at least a month in the search for the World Snake spy."

Meeting Shi Bao's expectant gaze, Shi Hen pondered for a while before speaking.

To be fair, the power of the consciousness domain was indeed too overpowered; almost all the pawns he pushed out were devoured by the treasure-hunting artifact.

This is why it's so difficult to infiltrate the Schicksal headquarters with Otto there.

In the presence of a legendary bishop who disregards human rights and readily employs a mimicry feather, the cost of training a spy is ridiculously high, with an extremely low success rate, making the effort and reward completely disproportionate.

It's fair to say that if Shi Bao were to fully unleash his Herrscher power, he could truly turn Honkai Impact 3rd into a "Honkai Impact 3rd RB" game.

In comparison, Jizo's Soul, which can only physically erode objects but cannot truly affect the consciousness of others, seems rather weak.

Of course, with his intentions being calculated but his actions being taken unintentionally, Shi Bao's foolishness not only ruined most of World Serpent's arrangements in Anti-Entropy, but also cleared obstacles for many of his hidden agents to advance.

After all, if the treasure finds fragments related to the World Serpent in someone's memories, and also finds evidence of communication with the World Serpent in that person's home, then that person is undoubtedly a World Serpent spy, and no matter how they try to explain, it will be useless.

You can't exactly say that the World Snake Association and the Treasure Hunt team conspired to commit perjury, can you?

This is his path to advancement.

In this way, not only did Anti-Entropy capture many World Serpent spies, but his control over the organization also deepened significantly, undoubtedly making it a perfect win-win situation.

As for the opinions of the opposition... naturally they are irrelevant.

Unable to know the boy's many thoughts, Shi Bao smiled healthily upon hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's all a small matter, a small matter. I just showed off my skills casually."

Although his words were humble, Shi Bao's upturned lips never faded, clearly showing that he was still very proud of it.

"but……"

Without allowing Shi Bao's arrogance to continue to grow, Shi Hen's tone suddenly changed, "Besides cleaning up the undercover agents, Xiao Shi, you have also caused considerable trouble for Anti-Entropy."

Affected by the power of treasure recognition, Anti-Entropy was forced to halt operations for a full half-day.

It's important to know that even when Cocolia "sacrificed" herself, Anti-Entropy... well, Cocolia's death was settled together with Welt Yang's commemoration, so he still doesn't know how long Anti-Entropy can take a break because of Cocolia's sacrifice.

"This...this wasn't an accident."

Meeting the boy's sharp gaze, Shi Bao's voice immediately softened.

But then he remembered what the other party had said earlier, and Shi Bao's voice immediately became louder. He puffed out his chest and said confidently, "Besides, I helped you solve such a big problem this time."

Even if some minor losses occur along the way, it's inevitable!
