Li Chaoge smiled without saying a word. Taking advantage of Ying's busy hands, he reached out and ruffled Ying's hair, then lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
Actually, Lumine is quite attractive and cute. If I were to pull for her in Genshin Impact, I would definitely choose a five-star. Of course, I'd be happy to get her for free, it's just that Lumine has a few less voice lines, otherwise listening to Lumine and Paimon's banter would be quite entertaining.
"..." Ying glanced at Li Chaoge, pursed her lips, and remained silent.
He actually attacked her while she was holding Paimon. Well, for the sake of that kiss on the forehead, she forgave her brother.
Although her brother is an incredibly womanizing scumbag, she's still a good sister.
"Alright, let's pick out some rings. Is there anything you want? If not, we'll go look elsewhere."
Seeing Bronya, Heinrich, and the others already trying on rings, Li Chaoge spoke to Lucia and the others who hadn't yet gone to see them.
"Commander, can we have the image of the adorable frog printed on the ring?"
Lucia hesitated for a moment, but still asked in a low voice.
"Uh......"
Upon hearing Lucia's request, Li Chaoge was taken aback.
Ado-Frog is the name of a frog-like doll in the Punishing: Gray Raven world. Just like a certain Misaka Mikoto likes Gekota, Lucia likes anything that looks like an Ado-Frog.
"You need an Ado-Frog for this too?"
Selena blinked. She knew Lucia liked the Dumb Frog, but she didn't expect Lucia to be so fond of it.
"Couldn't it be the Silly Frog? But even the Commander's emblem probably wouldn't work, right?"
Lucia was stumped; she thought the adorable frog would be perfect as an accessory.
"...Forget about my design. If you really want to use the Adofrog design, Lucia, you might have to ask Bronya for help."
Li Chaoge felt somewhat helpless. If Lucia were to print his design on it, everyone would probably make the same choice.
It's not that it's impossible, but he'll feel awkward seeing it. It's not a wedding photo, so the ring shouldn't be too flashy!
Chapter 139. The Root of Pleasure and the Scum of the Earth (4000 words)
"A silly frog? Print that kind of pattern on it?"
Seeing Li Chaoge looking at her, Bronya blinked, also becoming interested.
"Then can't I also print the Houmu image?"
While she wouldn't claim to have fully grasped the abilities of the Herrscher of Reason, she could easily achieve this level of understanding and mastery.
However, she was wondering if if she and Lucia did this, others would follow suit and create similar patterns.
"Why do you all want to use patterns like this...?"
Seeing Bronya's apparent interest, Raiden Mei sighed helplessly, unsure of what to say.
The captain let them choose the style of the ring themselves, but this ring, which represents a testament to their relationship with the captain, has extremely important meaning, and it feels strange to print the Houmu pattern on it.
Although such patterns are not fundamentally different from simple styles.
"It's alright, let's do it this way if everyone likes it. But we'll have to trouble Bronya again."
Li Chaoge touched Bronya's gray double helix ponytail and smiled helplessly.
It doesn't really matter what pattern or style they choose, as long as they're happy. Anyway, he doesn't know what to choose.
He originally intended to buy it, but now that he wants Bronya to make it, he'll have to DIY it himself.
"Bronya wouldn't object to doing this, but isn't it a bit hasty?"
Raiden Mei shook her head. Bronya might be mischievous at times, but she wouldn't be willful in these matters.
Her concern was that having Bronya make this thing might upset the others.
After all, they were rivals in love, although now everyone is getting along well and there aren't many harsh words exchanged.
According to Bronya, Clyde, and Kiana, they had already competed on the same bed, and even though Lilith and the others disliked them, they had to admit that they were very qualified to stand next to the captain.
There's nothing we can do. We can't beat them in a fight, and we can't outmaneuver them either. Plus, we have the numerical advantage. Denying it is just being stubborn.
Of course, Lilith would never think that her perfect figure was inferior to Blackie's. If Blackie hadn't used her quantum ability to travel between dimensions to avoid her attacks during the battle, Lilith would have already poked two big holes in Blackie.
"What do you mean by being hasty? Aren't these all gifts from the captain? At worst, I'll just take a loss and give the captain a discount when I ask for my reward."
Bronya turned her head to look at Li Chaoge, who was playing with her pigtails, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Even though they all bought the same materials, is there a difference between what she made and what others made? And when she makes it, she can communicate with them at any time to modify the design.
Perhaps she doesn't even need to offer a discount, after all, this is a very meaningful ring, how could it be discounted?
"Yeah, as long as it's a gift from the captain, it's fine."
Kiana chimed in with a grin.
Lucia looked at Li Chaoge with some embarrassment. Wanting to print the Adofrog was her own selfish desire, but seeing that everyone agreed, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Selena and the others didn't really have any objections. After all, there was no requirement for everyone to use a specific pattern. If they didn't like using patterns like Adofrog Houm, they could just refer to the styles they liked online and have Bronya make them.
However, Mi Yu and the others still need to think about it, while Selena doesn't need to think much about it.
The design she wanted printed on the ring was undoubtedly an iris, which was how the commander described her, and she also loved such a beautiful flower.
Ayaka Kamisato glanced discreetly at the silent Lei Yingdian beside her. She had no objection to having her favorite design printed on the ring. Having a favorite item or other thing printed on the ring and being given to her by someone she liked meant that it was a combination of two kinds of affection.
But what pattern should General Thunder use?
I once heard from Chaoge that General Leidian really liked eating tricolor dumplings...
It feels a bit strange to print food patterns on a ring, but you can't exactly print a fox, even though Shigeko Yagami is indeed a member of the Raiden General's retinue.
"Okay, then let's not buy the ring today. We'll figure out how to make it when we get back. By the way, Kiana, what design do you want?"
Li Chaoge nodded to the group of people who had no objections. He wisely refrained from asking Bronya what reward she wanted and instead changed the subject.
What reward could he possibly ask for? He was penniless; his current wealth was all accumulated by Bronya and the others. What could he possibly offer that would make Bronya covet it?
Looking at Bronya's meaningful smile, he felt a pain in his heart. He couldn't quite put his finger on where it hurt. He wondered if it was because Bronya played too many visual novels, or if the Herrscher of Reason's mind was just too sharp and quick. Bronya always managed to come up with new and exciting ideas for him.
The idea that Seele's twin souls are connected can be somewhat explained by interpreting it as the telepathic connection between twins; teleportation is also understandable, and quantum teleportation is not a difficult concept to grasp.
However, he really couldn't handle Bronya's sudden transformation from a game producer dressed in an office lady uniform to a domineering CEO duck. He couldn't understand the principle behind Bronya's transformation at all, not to mention that Bronya had also mastered the form of Starry Sky Duck Brown Duck.
Bronya's personality after transformation seems to lean towards her current form. The mature and alluring Big Duck likes to tease people, the Reason Duck is more cunning, the Starry Sky Duck is more girlish and easily shy, and the Brown Duck has a bit of a hooligan feel.
However, apart from seeing the Starry Sky Duck and Brown Duck in special circumstances, he can only see the mature and sexy Big Duck and the serious and luring Rhythm Duck under normal circumstances.
He still couldn't be sure which of Bronya's original forms it was. If it was Herrscher of Reason, then Seele and Bronya's appearances hadn't changed over the years, and Kiana just looked more mature and reliable without any obvious age change. He wondered what Mei thought about this.
However, if it's the later collapse of the Big Ducks, it makes sense for Mei and Bronya to tease each other, since Seele and Kiana both look young.
Mei and Bronya, who could have huddled together for warmth, ended up with Mei being the only one left to be the aunt because Bronya has the ability to transform. Anyone would feel resentful about that.
Although he thinks both the young Mei and the mature Mei are great, the young Mei as the Herrscher of Thunder is very cool. "Aunt Mei" is just a nickname. In reality, the mature Mei is very mature and sexy. It's just a pity that Mei can't change forms at will like Bronya.
After a mental whirlwind, Li Chaoge glanced subtly at Mei and Bronya before silently looking away.
The power of the Herrscher of Reason is to construct things that they can fully understand using Honkai energy. Bronya can reshape her own body, so there's no reason why she can't reshape Mei's body. It just depends on whether Bronya can influence Mei, who is also a Herrscher.
This idea can be considered for later; he and Mei haven't reached that point yet.
"What design do I want printed...?"
Kiana glanced at Bronya and was momentarily at a loss.
Actually, she quite liked Houmu, but Bronya had already decided to print Houmu, so if she chose Houmu too, it would be a clash.
However, she couldn't think of any other patterns for the time being. What kind of pattern did she like? Dolls, food, weapons, or something else?
If it were Theresa's aunt choosing, she would definitely just stamp the Oath of Judah on the ring. But she has used many weapons, such as Thor's Hammer, the Judgment of the Gods, and the Radiant Realm. How should she choose?
Seeing Kiana deep in thought, Exusiai and the others were also wondering what kind of design they should come up with.
This kind of thing isn't difficult. If you don't care too much, you can just choose any sample. But it's hard to come up with something that you like, that highlights your own characteristics, and that Li Chaoge can tell who it is just by looking at the ring.
"Instead of this, shouldn't you be thinking about what kind of ring to give your Master?"
Seeing everyone engrossed in the pattern and oblivious to everything else, Root Style, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.
"Hmm? Should we deliver it too?"
Heinrich, who was deep in thought, was stunned by the words of the Root, and his eyes widened in shock.
Does the Commander need them to give him rings? She seems to have never seen the Commander wear a ring before!
The oath between a ship girl and her commander requires a ring. Only after the commander personally places the oath ring on the ship girl's finger is she considered to have truly become the commander's recognized marriage ship in the port.
However, Heinrich had never heard any ship girls discuss whether or not the commander should wear a ring.
Now, after hearing the explanation of the Root, Heinrich suddenly realized that although the Iron-Blooded Bismarck, Eugen, and the other two had rings, the Commander had never had a ring.
"We really need to think carefully about the ring for the commander. Does Miss Root have any good suggestions?"
Selena glanced at Heinrich, who had exclaimed in surprise, with some confusion. She didn't understand why Heinrich was so surprised, but after thinking about it, she still couldn't make up her mind.
The iris was a token between her and the conductor. The first time, she used an iris pinned in her hair as a mark, as she loved this romantic flower.
But what about the symbol of command?
She doesn't seem to have used any specific symbol to describe command.
Do you want both rings to have the same design?
Genyuan smiled and said unhurriedly, "Or you can print your own designs on it."
"Both of these options seem pretty good."
Selena nodded thoughtfully. She had just thought of both options, but she couldn't immediately decide which one was better.
Whether it's the iris pattern or her own design, the purpose is simply to make the commander think of her the moment he sees the ring.
"So, whose one should I wear, brother?"
Suddenly, Ying asked abruptly.
Everyone's ideas are great, from DIY rings with special designs to gifting rings to the older brother, but with so many people, whose ring should the older brother wear?
There are about twenty people now, and my brother wears one every day, so he has to rotate them once a month.
If a ring can't be worn often, then it really is just a keepsake, a keepsake that's rarely opened or looked at.
Root smiled without saying a word. How would she know whose Master should wear? She only knew that the Commander only had ten fingers, and even if he wore them all, it wouldn't be enough.
"..." Li Chaoge looked at the smiling Genyuan Shi and Ying, who seemed calm and unassuming, and his fists began to harden.
That guy, Genyuan, is such a fun person!
He thought that Gengenshiki, a Japanese beauty with a Yamato Nadeshiko temperament, wouldn't cause him any trouble, but unexpectedly, Gengenshiki taught him a lesson.
Ying, you're not even on your brother's side in this kind of thing. You'll fall out of favor if you keep doing this!
"What does Master think we should do?"
Genyuan met Li Chaoge's fierce glare, raised her delicate hand to gently brush a strand of hair behind her ear, and smiled softly at him.
If the Master wants to do anything to her, he should first deal with the other people who like to cling to him. Then, will she worry about what the Master will do?
Hmm... I'm still worried.
After all, when her master is exhausted, she still has to take care of him and make sure he can rest in bed.
Ying glanced at Li Chaoge's murderous gaze, pursed her lips, and wasn't worried at all about being targeted by Li Chaoge.
If it's someone else, the brother can punish them in special ways; but how can he treat her?
Having known her brother for so many years, she understood him very well; he would at most say a few words to her.
Before she and her brother's true identities were confirmed, her brother would only talk the talk, unwilling to hit or scold her.
In this situation, what would she worry about? At most, she would worry that Qingge's brother's adopted sister in this world might have feelings for him.
After all, apart from their names sounding like siblings, Li Qingge and her brother have no sibling relationship whatsoever.
Given that her brother can't refuse his sister's requests, if Li Qingge were to take the initiative and be more assertive, her sister's position would be shaken.
After all, sometimes a god-sister is indeed better than a biological sister.
"..."
Seeing Gengenshiki and Ying completely ignoring his threatening gaze, Li Chaoge felt quite helpless.
These two guys usually seem quite serious and reliable, but in reality, one is a fun-loving person and the other is the worst kind of scum.
