Mi Home Chat Group: Let's start with a roundup and have some fun!

"In that case, well... that's a pity. I guess I'll have to go back now. (⊙o⊙；)"

[Ju Fufu: So, is this ice cream made from Honkai Beasts or milk?]

[Star: Wait a minute, are you sure you can eat a Honkai Beast?]

[Zhe: Don't worry, it's probably milk from Beibeilong. If she dares to sell it, there's probably no problem.]

Kiana: Mei, why don't we split up? The captain can come back with the ice cream, you can just go to the chain store, right? (O_O)ゞ

[Captain: Mei driving to buy things is fine, but by the time I walked back, the ice cream was completely melted (￢_￢)]

Just as Mei and the captain were about to leave, Pado's voice came from the huge cardboard box next to them:

"I think I hear someone's upset because they can't find the items they want~ Want to come and take a look? I have everything here~"

[Ling: Oh, it's Pado! Why is she setting up a stall?]

[Empty: Can I really buy anything? I want to buy a mini Paimon and replace the big Paimon, Daines Reeb.]

[Padre: Oops~, this is a bit tricky, you'll have to pay extra!]

[Star: Hehehe, Pado's waist is so tight! (?﹃ ?)]

[Qiong: Sis, you should focus on raising Saifeier properly before you start thinking about Pado (；￢_￢)]

Mei and the captain looked in the direction of Patto, and both of them were speechless at her appearance.

Mei: "I have a feeling (?_?)"

Captain: "This feels so familiar... (?_?)"

[Zhe: Sure enough, all the cats are in the cardboard box. I wonder if Senior Sister Fufu is too...]

[Ju Fufu: I'm a tiger, not a cat!]

Listening to their conversation, Pado roughly knew who they were talking about: "Are you talking about that charlatan who was here before?"

Wearing small sunglasses and carrying his goods, Shi Bao had just arrived when he heard someone slandering him. Unable to tolerate this, he rushed forward, ready to confront them: "Who are you calling a con artist?! (╬◣д◢)"

[Ying: Wow, she's so quick at spotting treasures! The moment Pado called her a shrewd businesswoman, she arrived right away ('⊙ω⊙`)]

[Ahaha: Hahahaha, let's fight! Let's fight! Ahaha wants to see rivers of blood! .ヽ(^Д^*)/. ]

[Captain: If the two of them really go head-to-head, Pado will most likely be instantly killed ╮( oωo )╭]

Seeing Shi Bao angrily walk towards Pa Duo, the two getting closer and closer, the captain felt that there was going to be a good show, and excitedly said:

"It's here...!"

Shi Bao took off his sunglasses, gritted his teeth, glared at Pa Duo, and issued a warning:

"Didn't anyone tell you this is my territory? Kitty, if you want to set up a stall, go somewhere else (▼皿▼#)"

Chapter 242 Captain: Paddo, you didn't steal all this stuff from somewhere, did you?! (First Update)

Paddy smiled at Shi Bao and said matter-of-factly:

"I've never heard of such a regulation, and besides, I have a business license!"

Upon hearing that Pado had a business license, Shi Bao hesitated for a moment, but quickly regained his initial indignant demeanor:

"What...so what? It's just a piece of scrap paper. Judging by the stuff in your shop, you're a complete novice. (←△←)"

[Nilu: Does Shi Bao's behavior count as a form of bullying against Pado?]

Mei: Uh, let's say it was two kids fighting.

[Zhe: Mountains vs. Flat Panels]

[Billy: This could be the subject of a book, "About My Deceased Colleague Suddenly Coming to Take My Booth"]

[Qiong: I just noticed that Pado and Shibao's shoulders are exposed, and they look very white and smooth.]

[Sino: That's what you call an old fox with a big head. The joke is... (?????)]

[Captain: Seno, shut up!]

[Topa: This is a precious scene from the early days of the battle between Heroic Hero and the Herrscher of Knowledge]

[Skip: Speaking of which, when did the cat become so brave?]

[Kevin o Urban Management Officer: No, I'm just doing this part-time, why do I have to arrest acquaintances every day? And they've been arrested so many times, don't these two learn their lesson? (；?_? )]

Mei looked at the captain awkwardly: "Aren't we going back yet? (；?_? )

The captain's interest was piqued by their argument, and he completely lost his earlier eagerness to go home.

"It's still early. (???)"

Kiana: No way! By the time the captain finishes watching the show, the ice cream will have melted! (ΩДΩ)

[Qiong: There's no way around it, watching the excitement is something ingrained in the DNA of most living beings.]

[Ying: If a couple is arguing, even Ultraman will stop fighting monsters and drag the other person along to watch the show.]

[Lu Ziqiao: We're kindred spirits! I love watching women argue (?????)]

When Pado heard Shi Bao say that the products in her shop were no good, she immediately looked at her with a defiant gaze:

"Heh~ I can't pretend I didn't hear that, you know. I have a lot of things here that you've never seen before. (。◣?◢)"

Shi Bao completely refused to believe that his goods could be inferior to those of a newcomer, and proactively suggested:

"Goodness, then let's bring them all out and have a go!"

[Fireworks: Hehehe, street vendor tyrants versus unscrupulous cart vendors, this is so much fun!]

[Ling: Oh, so it's about comparing products. I thought identifying treasures required reasoning and persuasion.]

[Mei: One of them sells counterfeit goods, and the other sells smuggled goods. They're evenly matched.]

[Zhongli: Where does this innocent competitive spirit come from?]

Upon hearing that the two wanted to have a contest, the captain standing to the side immediately raised his right hand and volunteered:

"Okay! I want to be the referee! (???)"

Seeing the captain's smug, almost goofy expression, Mei sighed helplessly, and the two of them looked on together: "Sigh~! (△?)"

[Zhe: Great! Great! So big!!! Although both of them are very well-endowed, Shi Bao seems to be slightly inferior (⊙o⊙)]

[Paimon: Looks like the chest I stole from Bronya before hasn't been returned.]

[Treasure Seeker: This was modified by Bronya using her Herrscher powers illegally. This thing is too dangerous. I'll keep it safe for her. I'm such a good person.]

[Honkai Impact 3rd Bronya: I'm not the Nine-Tails, and you're not the Thousand Hands (￢_￢)]

After the competition began, Pado went first, taking out four event props:

"Mysterious sparkly material!"

Looking at these familiar early event materials, the captain affirmed, "Oh, that's true. (O_O)"

[Captain: Tokiwa Fragment, Thunder Fragment, Moonlight Fragment, Twin Azure Fragment, oh, those are things from so long ago]

[Ying: Pado truly lives up to his reputation as a hero of a pre-civilization; he can even find such ancient materials.]

[Gui Naifen: The things Pado brought out are pretty good, so Shibao's shouldn't be any worse either.]

Not to be outdone, Shi Bao pulled out a small round card:

"I have one too! A sparkly blue lightning bolt!"

Looking at the unevenly applied blue paint, the captain couldn't help but start complaining:

"No, it looks like... it was drawn on? (；?_?)"

[Captain: Isn't this the Little Lightning that Flying Fish Maru has been longing for? (?????)]

[Zhe: If I remember correctly, the rumor back then was that it was Ai-chan, the electricity-stealing maniac, who did it (*σ'?`)σ]

[Ai-chan: I control all electricity, I'm so awesome! o(∩△∩)o]

[Ningguang: Why does their competition feel like an arms race? ╮(‵▽′)╭]

In the second round, Pado once again brought out three game cartridges from a long time ago:

"Super Cartridge Collection!"

The captain immediately recognized the origin of these cassette tapes and exclaimed, "It brings back so many memories. I used to have a set of them too."

[Honkai Impact 3rd Bronya: Kallen Fantasy cartridge, I think it was given away during the Kallen Fantasy event. I still have quite a few here.]

[Star: I feel like you definitely don't have as many game cartridges as Otto does.]

Shi Bao took out a purple pixelated Poké Ball and changed its name as well:

"That... the Honkai Ball that can grab anything!"

The captain was already used to seeing the outrageous things that Shi Bao pulled out:

"I'm not surprised at all when you pull this out now! (▽▽)"

[Qiong: Holy crap, it's a Master Ball! What a dream collaboration!]

[Kong: If I remember correctly, Master Balls have a 100% catch rate, including legendary Pokémon.]

Kiana: You can buy this at the Midsummer Seaside Amusement Park for just over nine thousand.

[Ring: We have Master Balls, but what about Palkia Balls?! Give me a 64-ball first, I want to catch some beautiful girls and become the strongest female trainer!]

[Captain: No, is that the main point? (ΩДΩ)]

In the third round, Pado retrieved a green airdrop crate with a picture of Otto with a bruised and swollen face drawn on it.

"A mysterious person's secret stash!"

The captain looked at the color and pattern on the airdrop crate and had a bad feeling; he even spoke nervously.

"Wait a minute! You didn't steal all this stuff from somewhere, did you?! Σ( ° △ °|||)︴"

[Kevin: As expected of Otto, even his secret stash is green (green), as expected of the man who got cheated on (*'?`)σ]

[Star: The Archbishop has had a long-standing habit of saving money on his own to buy gifts for Karen, but...]

[Otto: It's alright, I'll rescue Karen from that pink-haired fox in all my might one day!]
