Chapter 148: Direct Invitation From the Aeons II
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Xuan Yong: Mei, Aha doesn't care about this at all. He just wants to find some fun. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Cocolia: True. Although the Aeon of Elation's behavior is somewhat strange, he still strictly adheres to his own Path. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Xiangling: Do these Pathstriders, trapped on their Paths, really have freedom? ]
...
"Ahem, yes. Next, we would like to invite the Aeons who have kept their lights on to introduce their company's advantages." Owlbert wiped his sweat again with a towel and said with an embarrassed expression.
"Huh, what is this?" At this moment, Stelle, who was standing behind Owlbert, seemed to have spotted something. She couldn't help but lean in, squatting down to observe closely.
"Pointless. Lights out. I'm off the clock!" The Aeon of IX directly turned off his light and quickly left the scene.
"Ahem, IX chose to turn off his light. Production crew, please settle his appearance fee. Now, let us welcome the next…" Seeing the Aeon of IX leave without saying a single word, Owlbert smiled awkwardly and immediately called for the crew to pay IX his appearance fee.
"Renew your contract with me, and I'll get you a new train!" Seeing the camera pan to him, the Aeon of Trailblaze opened his arms and said in an impassioned tone.
"Yes, an accident-reconstructed train!" The Aeon of Elation, standing nearby, immediately brought up past grievances.
"We also offer a brand-new Pom-Pom, enthusiastic colleagues, delicious coffee, no desk-bound hours, performance bonuses, and a flexible working system." The Aeon of Trailblaze directly threw out a massive list of benefits.
"All-weather field dispatch, and your salary relies entirely on work injury insurance!" The Aeon of Elation added two more "benefits" on the side.
This instantly infuriated the Aeon of Trailblaze. Without another word, he turned off his light and started brawling with the Aeon of Elation.
"Hmm, indeed!" Stelle, standing behind Owlbert, held a snow-white feather and nodded in agreement.
As Owlbert looked at the feather in Stelle's hand, it felt somewhat familiar, but he didn't notice the bald patch on his own rear.
"Hahaha, our employees have strong cohesion and faith. Upon joining, you will be gifted the art of immortality, for only 7.9 million Credits." The camera cut to Yaoshi. She raised both hands and began introducing her Abundance sect with a face full of smiles.
Hearing Yaoshi's words, Aha instantly ran up to her, pointed at her, and said with a giggling face, "Isn't that way too expensive?"
"How is that expensive? It has always been this price for all these years, okay? Don't just make things up with your eyes wide open. Immortality is very difficult to achieve!" Hearing Aha's words, Yaoshi was instantly displeased and retorted directly.
Beside her, Lan grew extremely furious upon hearing this. He raised a finger, pointed at Yaoshi, and said coldly, "Abundance abomination, disruptor of alliances, your crimes are unpardonable. If the Xianzhou sees you, we will pluck every last one of your leaves. Come to my place—a large conglomerate, great environment, stable system, excellent benefits. You won't regret it!"
...
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jing Yuan: Hahaha, Lord Lan is right. You will definitely not regret joining our Xianzhou. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Fu Xuan: As a highly renowned faction in the universe, our Xianzhou Alliance welcomes everyone to join at any time. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Hua: You two are already starting to advertise? ]
Seeing the Xianzhou Alliance recruiting new members, other major cosmic factions—like the Annihilation Gang, the Self-Annihilators, the Interastral Peace Corporation, and so on—all stepped forward to recruit new members.
[ Genshin Impact - Zhongli: Are your respective factions really that short-handed? You are actually spamming the chat in this inventory live room. ]
Zhongli said with a shocked expression as he looked at the inventory live room, which was almost completely spammed by these factions.
[ Genshin Impact - Hu Tao: Wait, why don't they get muted for spamming to recruit people? But when I spam to sell things, you mute me! Inventory live room, are you looking down on me? ]
"Miss Hu Tao, why don't you think about what you are selling? Buy one, get one free… Is there anyone in this world who can die a second time?"
Seeing the inventory live room's response, Hu Tao's friends, like Xingqiu and Chongyun, all nodded in agreement. They knew exactly what Hu Tao was selling, and her train of thought was indeed quite eccentric.
[ Genshin Impact - Hu Tao: If it weren't for the fact that I have a certain old gentleman to support at home, do you think I'd willingly advertise in the inventory live room? ]
"Oh, as Liyue's Rex Lapis, I believe many people would be willing to treat Mr. Zhongli to dinner. But who told Mr. Zhongli not to like owing people money?"
[ Genshin Impact - Hu Tao: Exactly! Back when Tartaglia, that easy mark, was around, I didn't have to work this hard. Now that Tartaglia has returned to Snezhnaya, all the debts have fallen onto my head. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Tartaglia: That's just great, Director Hu. Am I just an easy mark in your eyes? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Hu Tao: Aren't you? ]
In Snezhnaya, Tartaglia's face darkened when he saw Hu Tao's words, but he could only sigh helplessly.
...
On the stage, Yaoshi raised a hand to cover her mouth upon hearing Lan's words. After a light chuckle, she said, "If the benefits were really that good, the Xianzhou people wouldn't be changing jobs."
"They are not as good as our Antimatter Legion!" The Aeon of Destruction, Nanook, stood with his arms crossed, speaking with a face full of disdain.
Hearing Yaoshi and Nanook's words, Lan's anger flared once more. He directly summoned his longbow, aimed it at Yaoshi, pointed his other hand at Nanook, and said furiously, "Audacious fools! After I eradicate the Abundance, you're next!"
"Abundance abomination!" Immediately after, Lan made his move against Yaoshi. Yaoshi was no pushover either and immediately struck back.
This scene completely shocked Owlbert. He hastily cried out, "Dear Aeons, this is not the place for you to fight, hey!"
"Make way, please make way!" Just then, a voice instantly drew Owlbert's attention. He turned his head to look, only to see Stelle pushing a small cart piled high with various sodas and food.
"Juice, soda, tea, coffee! Which one would you like?" Stelle shouted as she pushed the cart.
This scene instantly stunned Owlbert. He shouted in disbelief, "Why is our female guest starting a small business here?!"
"Is there coconut milk?" At this moment, the Aeon of IX blocked Stelle's path and inquired.
"Ah, there's no coconut milk!" Hearing IX's question, Stelle blinked, but quickly replied.
Upon hearing Stelle's answer, IX instantly turned yellow, then green, constantly cycling through various colors.
"Pah, pah, pah! I'll give you everything else, just remember to pay the bill!" Seeing IX directly swallow her small cart into his void body, Stelle immediately pulled out a calculator and began to calculate how much it would cost.
