I have no regrets about my 2D world!

The girl paused slightly while holding the wine glass. "Sorry, there's something on my mind that makes me unhappy."
"Because of the collapse?"
"...Yes, I have a friend who unfortunately died in the Honkai, and there has been no news until now. How can I be happy in this situation?" The girl lowered her head bitterly and took another sip of wine.
"Your friend's name is Su, right?"
"Why...well, it shouldn't be difficult to investigate with your identity, so what do you want to do?" The girl put down her wine glass and looked at Bai. She didn't believe that someone with such an identity would waste time deliberately investigating an ordinary person without any benefit.
But let's investigate. As long as we can get useful information, it doesn't matter what the price is.
"Don't worry about what I want to do for now. I can tell you clearly that your friend is much safer than you are now."
"What do you mean?" The girl's eyes brightened slightly.
"Your friend is currently staying in a hospital in Mu, barely an assistant doctor. Although he's inevitably exposed to Honkai, it's much safer than you going out on the battlefield and facing Honkai beasts head-on."
"Really?" The girl's body straightened up immediately, a hint of joy appeared on her face, but it disappeared in an instant, and she looked doubtful.
"Then why can't I contact him?"
She tried every possible way to contact him, but received no response.
Hearing the girl's question, a strange look appeared on Bai's face.
"You couldn't contact him, did you ever think that he might have changed his contact information? Then did you ever think that you had changed your contact information as well?"
The girl's face was stunned.
She seemed to have never thought about this.
That makes sense now. She herself survived the Great Collapse with nothing but the clothes on her body, not to mention that she was not as good as her good friend.
The reason they were able to survive was probably because they eliminated all possible dangers. Things like communication equipment that might make noises and attract Honkai beasts or assassins were probably thrown away immediately.
After all, only by surviving can we talk about what will happen next.
"So the reason we can't contact Su is just because we don't know each other's contact information? Is it that simple?" The girl murmured softly.
"It's that simple." Bai nodded slightly and took a sip of wine.
This wine is... average.
He has been here for more than ten years. In order to prevent Alicia from being exposed to alcohol, which is bad for the body, he has been drinking tea for more than ten years.
Now that Alicia's body has grown almost to its full size, it feels like it's time to take out the wine.
However, at present, except for Alicia, no one else can withstand the stimulation of this wine. If they drink it, they will definitely get drunk.
It seems...it's not impossible.
Anyway, as long as I'm watching it, it won't affect other places. Although I might be scolded afterwards, it doesn't seem to be a loss at all in exchange for some black history.
Thinking of this, Bai couldn't help but feel a little moved.
At the same time, the person next to him seemed to have finally come to his senses. Looking at the several empty wine bottles beside him, he suddenly felt a sense of suffocation.
She had been suffering here alone for such a long time, and she felt like she was about to become depressed, but now she was told that she had been worrying in vain.
No, there is another problem.
Just when the girl was about to remove all the wine bottles around her and replace them with food to vent her grief and anger during this period, she suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a minute, you've said so much but I haven't seen any evidence from you?" The girl looked at Bai in confusion, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
There was something wrong with this person. She almost believed what he said without even seeing any evidence.
"As for evidence, I don't have any right now. After all, I just got the news and haven't had time to verify it myself. If you want to verify it, you can come find me after the banquet."
"Why am I looking for you?"
Bai raised an eyebrow, "Should I come to you?"
"Well..." The girl smiled awkwardly, "Okay, I'll come find you then."
"That's more like it." Bai nodded in satisfaction and stood up. "Well, don't sit here alone and drink alone. This is a lively party, enjoy it."
"Wait, where are you going?"
"Of course we're going somewhere else." Bai gave her a strange look. "Do you want me to stay here and chat with you?"
"No, no." The girl laughed awkwardly and suddenly clapped her hands. "Actually, I wanted to ask how I can find you when the time comes."
"Looking for me..." Bai thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he didn't even know what the place where he lived was called.
"When the time comes, go find Hen. He'll tell you where I am."
"Captain? Are you close to the captain?" The girl looked at Bai. He didn't look much older than her, but he was actually very familiar with Hen, who was about thirty years old.
"Not bad. At least he should be able to help with something as small as asking him to show me the way."
"But why..." The girl was about to ask why she needed someone else to lead the way, but then she remembered that Bai's identity seemed unusual.
Maybe it’s because of your identity that some things are inconvenient to say?
Well, that should be it.
The girl found an answer in her heart.
"No, it's nothing. Please go ahead and do whatever you need. I can handle this myself."
"Okay, then I'll leave first."
"Goodbye. By the way, my name is Kaiwen. Just call me by my name next time we meet. Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, thank you for chatting with me today."
Seeing Bai turn around, Kaiwen suddenly remembered that she had not yet reported her name. Although Bai probably already knew it when he was investigating her, she still had to introduce herself out of courtesy.
Hearing Kaiwen's words from behind, Bai paused slightly, then chuckled.
"I'll take note. See you next time."
After saying that, he disappeared into the crowd.
Kaiwen sat on the chair and didn't come back to her senses until Bai's back disappeared.
"Enjoy the party?"
Kevin's eyes turned to the wine on the table.
"I heard there's a guy going around the venue toasting, why don't I give it a try?"
"Well...never mind, I've had enough to drink today, let's go get something to eat."
Chapter 77 Unexpected Development
Leaving Kevin's isolated corner, Bai wandered around the party.
Of course, he wasn't just strolling around. The idea just now was still in his mind. He really wanted to find someone he knew to try the wine he brought from Gensokyo and see if he could stand it.
It's a pity that he didn't know many people. Alicia hadn't come here yet, and Hua was pulled over by Himiko to celebrate together. Weiliwei was not very interested in such occasions, and it was not known whether she came or not.
Hen has been taking care of the pregnant Blanca and now he dares not touch any alcohol. As for Mei...she should come as Alicia has invited her, but she doesn't seem to have arrived yet.
So after counting around, he is the only one here who is not around.
"Long time no see, Mebius."
Among the fire moths, the greatest biologist of this century, without a doubt, Mobius, is not notorious, but at least his reputation is almost as great as that of a child who stops crying at night.
Bai was very lucky. When he arrived, there was only a half-empty wine bottle on the table of Mebius and Klein, and judging from the bright colors inside, it was most likely wine.
Yes, people like Mebius must understand the harm of alcohol. Drinking a small amount is not a big deal, but drinking too much will harm your body.
Seeing that there was no trace of redness on Mebius' face due to alcohol, Bai nodded in satisfaction. This met the test criteria.
"It's you?"
Hearing the voice, Mebius turned around, and when he saw Bai, some joy flashed in his eyes, but then a look of sarcasm appeared on his face.
"Why, a busy man like you actually has the mind to attend this kind of party?"
It must be said that Mebius had indeed felt unusually comfortable during the days Bai was in the lab, but her hurried departure made her feel very uncomfortable.
Why, is it so unbearable to be with her, Mebius? Running so fast is like she is abusing others.
And the most important thing is that Bai's sudden departure caused changes in my life that I couldn't adjust to for a while.
When she was hot, she had to take off her clothes by herself. When she was thirsty, she had to ask Klein to help her pour water. Even when it was time for dinner, she felt hungry and walked to the dining table to find that there was nothing there.
Regardless of whether she felt uncomfortable or not, at least Klein felt very uncomfortable, and Bai felt this deeply.
After all, from the moment his voice rang out, Klein had already cast a resentful look at him, a look that would have made others imagine an article of at least tens of thousands of words in their minds.
Klein screamed in his heart.
It was clearly an assistant position, how could someone be assigned the role of a butler? No, it was more than just a butler. After listening to Mebius talk about what Bai did in the laboratory, Klein just wanted to say that the two of them were truly a perfect match.
As soon as Mobius appeared, Bai had already prepared a countermeasure. Isn't this just a case of having a worm in his stomach?
She didn't know how Bai did it, but she couldn't do it.
"Oh, didn't I see Klein was already here? Firstly, she was recommended by Blanca, and secondly, I'm only a part-timer. So, I left early so you two could get used to each other. Look, you two are already working well together now, aren't you?"
Without waiting for the two to invite him, Bai sat down next to them.
"Then should I thank you too?" Mebius lowered his eyebrows slightly with a chilling smile on his face.
Even Klein beside him couldn't help but murmur: "Bai..."
Being stared at by these two people, Bai Yi remained calm.
"Look at what you said. I'm grateful for your care for several days. Even if there's any gratitude, it should be me."
"Really? If you want to thank me, what are you going to do?"
Mebius held the wine glass in front of him with one hand. The bright red reflected on his face, coupled with his half-smile, gave people an extremely charming feeling.
However, people who know Mebius well would not have any extra thoughts when seeing this expression, because having such thoughts would likely cause them to fall asleep inexplicably and wake up on the operating table.
But it is obvious that this rule does not work for Bai.
He said that Mebius could be more charming and seductive, and he wouldn't look uncomfortable anyway.
While silently praising in his heart, Bai had a jar of wine in his hand.
"The wine I brew myself is unique in the world. Come try it."
Mebius glanced at the jar.
It's a very old-fashioned way of packaging wine, it must be quite old.
But that's not the point.
"Where did you get this thing?" Mebius narrowed his eyes slightly.
When Bai came here just now, he didn't have anything in his hand. There is no way that there is wine in this kind of packaging on this table or in this banquet hall.
"Don't worry about the details, how about trying it first?"
Bai reached out and opened the jar, and a rich aroma of wine filled the air. At the same time, Bai quietly set up a barrier to temporarily block outsiders' perception of this place.
Mebius and the other man were instantly seduced by the fragrance and immediately forgot their previous questions.
Bai no longer hesitated and poured a glass for each of them.
"please."
Looking at the clear yet tempting wine in his hand, Mebius couldn't help licking his lips, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Ok?
Bai couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Is this wine so attractive? He couldn't even wait to savor it slowly.
I didn't feel anything when I drank with Suika at the party before.
I poured myself a cup and took a sip.
Well, it still tastes the same.
Just when Bai was thinking about whether he should change to a slightly inferior wine next time, there was a sudden "bang" sound.
When I turned around, I saw Klein had already fallen on the table. His forehead would probably be red for several days from the impact.
Unfortunately, my face was not exposed, so I couldn’t leave a record openly.
But since Klein is like this, Mebius must not be in a good condition either.
