43 Chapter 116 - Qianjie, Earth is Dangerous (4K)

"Birthday?..."

How long had it been since Padophilis had heard the word birthday?

I'm afraid that Padophilis herself had forgotten this question.

Birthday, it was a word that only children from rich families could say.

Stray cats didn't have birthdays, and even for Padophilis, her parents had already been forgotten by her.

In fact, after becoming the proprietress of the Empty Dreams Bar, Padophilis' life got better.

She wouldn't go hungry anymore, she also slept in a clean bed, and at Lu Yu's request, Padophilis also began to bathe in hot water every day.

Although life had gotten better, though the word birthday was also still relatively far away for Padophilis.

After spending a whole year in Empty Dreams with Lu Yu, the income from the bar Padophilis had given every penny to Lu Yu.

Regarding this point. Lu Yu had once stated that she didn't need to do that, the current boss lady of Empty Dreams was Padophilis and not Lu Yu, yet Padophilis still chose to carefully finish her math and then hand over all of the income earned to Lu Yu.

Of course, learning to count was a very difficult task for Padophilis, but when it came to money, even if it was difficult, Padophilis persevered.

In Padophilis's own words, that is: I am already very satisfied with my present life, if I am greedy for anything else, then I will be doomed.

Moreover, Padophilis is satisfied with money as long as she receives a steady stream of it, as for who owns it, Padophilis really doesn't mind.

Looking at the ten year old Padophilis happily collecting money in the bar every day, Lu Yu also let her go.

Anyway, the money would be Padophilis' sooner or later, so he would consider himself to be holding it for her first.

Lu Yu walked over to Padophilis with a birthday cake.

"It's not clear if today is your birthday, but last year's today was the day I picked you up, so let's say it's today."

Padophilis had a birthday in the official setting, on July 11th.

However, for Padophilis this time around, the date of birth given to her by her parents might not really be as meaningful as the day Lu Yu picked her up, so Lu Yu took it upon himself to modify Padophilis' birthday.

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Padophilis froze for a moment.

"What, don't like me casually modifying your birthday?"

Lu Yu laughed, following Lu Yu were two large bald men in waiter's outfits, these two men were holding a gift box each, and they didn't know what was inside.

These two bald men were the only two people left behind after Lu Yu took down this gangster, now they were the bartenders and waiters of this bar, as to why they were left behind, that was probably because Lu Yu wanted to make up for the regret that he didn't pick the big bald man's gift.

"No, no dislike, it's just that this is the first time anyone has ever celebrated my birthday."

Padophilis hurriedly shook her head a bit, things like birthdays weren't important to her at all, just as Lu Yu had said, the day the two of them met was her real birthday yet!

"Here, this is a gift for you."

With those words, Lu Yu signaled the two kindly bald uncles to bring the gift box in front of Padophilis.

"Two gifts, which one do you want to see first?"

Padophilis blinked her eyes, the two gift boxes were the same size, and she couldn't see what had the difference.

"Brother Lu Yu, am I choosing one and the remaining one is gone?"

Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, "Of course not, it's all yours."

Padophilis was a bit puzzled, "Then why did you let me choose?"

"Because it's fun!"

"Oooh~ Then I'll pick the one on the left."

Since they all belonged to herself, there was naturally no difference in the order, Padophilis also ignored the smiling Lu Yu as she directly chose the one on the left.

Receiving the gift box in Uncle Bald's hand, Padophilis opened the gift box very solemnly.

"What is this ah?"

After opening the box, what introduced Padophilis' eyes was a white pig made of ceramic.

"A piggy bank."

"A piggy bank?"

"Yes, a piggy bank that belongs to you, Padophilis, from today I will pay you a monthly salary, no refusal, you have to save up this income that belongs to you, this will be your piggy bank."

Save up? A small treasury?

Padophilis, who hadn't been too keen on asking for money, suddenly got a twinkle in one of her eyes when she heard the words piggy bank.

Padophilis looked at the clean white piggy bank in the box, and she suddenly had an urge to stuff the piggy bank with money.

"Brother Lu Yu, thank you!"

This time, Padophilis did not reject Lu Yu's offer to give her money.

Padophilis had an idea that she was going to save up lots and lots of money, and then one day after she had stuffed this piggy bank, in case one day she and Lu Yu ran out of money again, she would take out this piggy bank so that the two of them wouldn't starve anymore.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, there's another gift here."

This time, Lu Yu helped Padophilis open the gift box.

"Wow. !!!!"

Seeing what was in the gift box, Padophilis, who was hugging the piggy bank, was excited as a whole.

Placed in the gift box was a cute little kitten, the kitten was just half a year old, and at this moment it was curled up in a corner of the box looking at Lu Yu and Padophilis warily.

"Brother Lu Yu, this, this, is it really for me?"

"Of course."

And how could Padophilis not have a canister by her side?

This time, Padophilis had changed her life because of herself, Lu Yu wasn't sure if she would still be able to meet up with a can, so Lu Yu decided to give her a can.

"Brother Lu Yu, what's its name?"

Reaching out her hand, Padophilis picked up the wary kitten from the box, then Padophilis gently stroked the kitten with her hand.

Perhaps it was because there was a resonance between cats and cats themselves, under Padophilis' comforting, the kitten that had just been wary softened its eyes in a short while as it looked at Padophilis.

"A name? It hasn't been named yet, Padophilis, why don't you give it a name."

Watching the marvelous communication between the two cats, Lu Yu also found it interesting, he sat down close by and then poured himself a glass of water.

"Well, let me think."

Padophilis pondered for a while.

"Brother Lu Yu, why don't we just call her Chocolate? Vanilla would be fine!"

"Pfft ..."

Lu Yu, who was holding a cup of water, sprayed a mouthful of water on the ground.

What the hell? Chocolate and Vanilla? The flavors are all mixed up! Shouldn't it be called canned food?

"Eh? Brother Lu Yu, do you think this name is inappropriate?"

"I don't care if it's appropriate or not, where did you hear the names Chocolate and Vanilla?"

Hearing Lu Yu's question, Padophilis pointed to a certain bald uncle beside Lu Yu.

"It was this uncle who told me, he said that he has two cat ladies at home, one is called Chocolate and the other is called Vanilla, and he even said that he wanted to show me a picture."

{Does that refer to the 18+ version or the anime version?}

Lu Yu: "..."

Lu Yu looks over at a certain bald uncle Padophilis is pointing at.

Bald Uncle: "Ahem ... What's that, boss, that recently groove cat 10 went on sale, and I couldn't hold back."

Lu Yu: "..."

Lu Yu: "Don't say that in front of Padophilis in the future."

Uncle Bald hurriedly nodded, "Got it boss."

Lu Yu: "Then tomorrow bring the full CG archive and the game body for me to make a copy."

Uncle Bald: "?????"

Boss you look like you don't care about anything, so it's all fake?

"Padophilis, why don't we just call this kitten Canned."

Lu Yu felt that he still had to correct the wrong history!

"Canned?"

Padophilis didn't quite understand why Lu Yu would give the kitten such a name, but since it was Lu Yu who had given it, she naturally didn't have any problem with it.

Padophilis tenderly looked at the kitten in her arms.

"Alright then, although Chocolate and Vanilla sound better, but since it was Brother Lu Yu who picked the name, you're still called Canned."

[On Padophilis' birthday, you gave Padophilis a kitten named Canned.]

[Age 9: You and Padophilis continue to live at a snail's pace in the Empty Dreams Bar, which gradually becomes famous thanks to the hard work of you and Padophilis.]

There is a special bar on Twilight Street, owned by a cute girl with a chubby kitten by her side.

[Such urban legends gradually spread throughout Dusk Street.]

As she got better, Padophilis learned how to dress, and she began to care more about her appearance.

Of course, as Padophilis began to dress up, some of the heavy industry enthusiasts of Twilight Street began to come to the Empty Dreams Bar in droves.

[In the face of these heavy industry enthusiasts, you directly chose to strike hard.]

[Heavy industry isn't wrong, what's wrong is that they came to your door, and in order for these people to stop plaguing the world, you broke their five limbs.]

[And so a new urban legend was born.]

[In the Empty Dreams Bar, there's not only a pretty little boss lady, but also a little bouncer who can fight ten men.]

The status of the Empty Dreams Bar became even more confusing because of this urban legend.

[Age 11: You're two years older, and one night after you turn eleven, you're once again hugged by a sleeping Padophilis.]

[Upon awakening, you notice that you seem to have triggered a Lucky Event - Brain Cushion Wave.]

[You finally begin to notice that Padophilis is thirteen years old, and her body, which hadn't developed much before due to lack of nutrition, has begun to develop at a high rate.]

[You remember that the female Ying Jie in the future's Thirteen Ying Jie all have milk-white Yukiko except for the Shinshu Plate, and Padophilis is no exception.]

[You spent a lot of money to add a second floor to the Empty Dreams Bar, where both you and Padophilis have their own separate rooms.]

[Considering that a certain "Lu Yu" has a memory of a pink-haired sister who would sneak into her brother's room, you asked for a titanium door lock to prevent Padophilis from entering your room.]

[On the night of your first day in separate rooms, your titanium door lock successfully defended your virginity!]

[Age 13: Bored, you begin to teach Patophilis about capitalism, and you think she'll make a good capitalist.]

[Age 14: Patophilis becomes a qualified capitalist, and the Empty Dreams Bar becomes the Empty Dreams Co.

[Age 16: You and Padophilis continue to run the bar, however just as you were about to close for the night one night, a fragment suddenly flashed through your mind.]

[Talent: King of Honkai unleashed.]

[You foresee what will happen next, the Fifth Herrcher has descended on Twilight Street, and then this poor Herrcher will be instantly killed by a polite and passionate big brother, what are you going to do about it?]

{Who?}

[1: You're the one who owns Dusk Street. How dare a Herrcher act recklessly in front of the Demon King?

[2 Do nothing: The Honkai King is busy working right now, and his polite and enthusiastic big brother will kill the Herrcher, so there's no need for you to come here.]

[3 Beat up the Fifth Herrcher first, then beat up Brother: Brother, Earth is very dangerous,you should go back to Mars quickly].

"Blanch, System, do you have a grudge against a Qianjie? Why do people have to take a beating for no reason?"

Looking at the three options, Lu Yu first expressed his dissatisfaction with the system, Qianjie was such a good person, why did he have to beat up Qianjie?

"I choose 3."

Of course, dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, the beating was still necessary.

Anyway, for Qianjie, a beating was the best way to socialize with him!

Of course, here Lu Yu's choice of the third option wasn't purely for the sake of beating up Qianjie.

Lu Yu's main purpose was to use this incident to make some contact with Aponia, and thus contact the Moth of Fire moth.

Well, that's it.

As for Qianjie and all that, that was definitely all arranged by the system!

[After learning of the descent of the Fifth Herrcher and the foreigners, you, who represent justice, felt that you couldn't just sit back and do nothing.]

You told Padophilis that you were going on a trip, and you came to the place where the Herrcher would be born.

[As the Time Lord, you know the future, the present, and the past, and the Fifth Herrcher's descended upon you just as you knew it would.]

Looking at the newborn Herrcher, you unleashed the power of the Time Lord without hesitation.

Time will not pass on you!

[You said so, and then the Herrcher withered away under the control of time.]

[Under the power of time, the newborn Herrchers were instantly killed by you before they even had a chance to trigger a disaster.]

[However, at the same time, the Qianjie that traced the Fifth Herrcher came to the battlefield between you and the Fifth Herrcher.]

[You and Qianjie exchanged greetings.]

Lu Yu: "Brother Qianjie, Earth is dangerous, you should return to Mars."

[After hearing your provocative statement, which is comparable to a taunt, Qianjie became angry, and he growled and swung his fist at you.]
