Seeing everyone suddenly staring at Li Chaoge, Sigma, holding Li Chaoge's arm, asked curiously.

She didn't feel there was anything wrong with her father being surrounded by so many girls, or even being pulled to take a bath with them. After all, in her memory, her father had always been like this, always surrounded by many girls.

However, she felt that everyone was saying they were going to take a shower, but it didn't seem like their real purpose was to take a shower. She was curious whether they could play games while taking a shower and really wanted to play with everyone.

"Ahem... Sigma, it's fine whether you wash or not."

Li Chaoge glanced at these troublemakers, coughed, and said seriously to Sigma.

Judging from their expressions, this bath is going to last until dawn.

Although he didn't mean to refuse, except for a few people, he had gotten to know the others well after a few meetings, and they all got along so well, so why would he refuse?

But things are a little different now. Sigma is here. How can he get Sigma to leave them and be alone? It's not good to corrupt a child.

This AI daughter is adorable, and he really likes this sweet little girl, but it has to be said that figuring out how to manage Sigma in this situation is quite troublesome.

"You guys go ahead and shower, I'll take Sigma to bed first."

After a moment's hesitation, Li Chaoge took Sigma's little hand, stood up, and addressed Bronya and the others.

"captain?"

"commander?"

"Master?"

"You..."

For a moment, Bronya, Lucia, Lilith, Ayaka Kamisato, and others all gave Li Chaoge a question mark.

Exusiai and Heinrich didn't seem to care, which is typical of Doctor/Commander, isn't it?

"Don't judge me like that! I was talking about sleeping normally!"

Seeing their shocked expressions, Li Chaoge knew they had misunderstood.

Did you think he would sleep with a machine? Is he that kind of person? He's not a pervert.

What? You mean Lucia Selena?

They are constructs transformed from humans, and are not the same as Sigma, the physical projection.

Although Sigma is very cute, her calves under the loose hem of her clothes are indeed very white and slender, pure white and innocent, which looks very tempting.

Chapter 178. Zhao and Ying Rui, come join us!

"I'm going to bed with Daddy now~"

Sigma, holding Li Chaoge's hand, waved to Kiana and Bagpipe with a cheerful smile, then skipped upstairs to go back to her room to sleep.

She didn't understand the way her older sisters looked at her and her father, but she felt it was probably envy, since her father only accompanied her to bed, not them.

Hehe, of course! She's Dad's most obedient and well-behaved daughter, and Dad loves her the most.

Li Chaoge, who had told the others to go take a shower first, looked down at the carefree little guy beside her and shook her head with amusement.

He never imagined that one day he would become a father unexpectedly. However, it seems that being Sigma's dad is quite nice. Sigma is not a naughty child and perfectly matches his instinct to protect his cubs.

“Sigma… um, how did you used to sleep?”

Holding Sigma's little hand, Li Chaoge returned to the room and sat down on the bed. Suddenly, a serious question came to mind.

Sigma is artificial intelligence. Does artificial intelligence need to sleep?

It's all because Sigma's physical projection is too realistic. If he's not specifically thinking about certain issues, he often doesn't realize that Sigma is an artificial intelligence entity.

"How do I sleep? Dad said that entering sleep mode means sleeping."

With his little head resting on Li Chaoge's shoulder, Sigma, sitting on the edge of the bed swinging his little legs, blinked and said, "Daddy, I want to hear you tell a story!"

As a daughter, it's only natural for her to listen to her father tell her stories before bed, right? That's how it's portrayed on TV.

"Fairy tales? Hmm... Did I always do this before you went to sleep?"

Li Chaoge pondered for a moment and asked, although he knew that with Sigma's abilities, he probably knew far more fairy tales than he did, but what he said would still be different.

"Yeah, hehe, that bad guy Jia En is really envious."

Sigma replied with a grin, feeling very happy at the thought that Jia En, who wanted to take her father away, couldn't win against her.

“Jane... Sigma, you go to bed first, I’ll tell you slowly.”

Li Chaoge shook his head and smiled helplessly. While coaxing Sigma to bed, he took out his phone to search for less common fairy tales and read them to her.

There are quite a few girls in the game "Otherworld Agency" who suit his taste, and Jia En is one of his favorites.

In the game, Jiaen lives in a country in the midst of a civil war. She is so poor that she has to fight desperately to get even a piece of bread. After taking care of Jiaen for a while, he took her to a safe and stable place and left after settling her in. However, Jiaen never forgot her benefactor and always regarded him as her mentor and a ray of light in her life, calling him her teacher.

Incidentally, after growing up, Jiaen became the leader of the super popular idol group Love Berry, specializing in outdoor live streaming.

Although he wanted to complain about the group's name, the group consisted of pretty girls with unique characteristics, and Jia En even seemed inclined to bring the idol group to his company, so he thought the group was pretty good.

As the boss of a company, it's awesome to have a ton of beautiful female employees under your command. Although the power dynamics are similar to those in Arknights, with various factions intertwined, this game is a bit more sophisticated because you're the mastermind behind the scenes, and you're involved in the plot of various stories.

Although the current storyline has not yet found a solution to the apocalyptic crisis, and the various factions are acting independently based on their own ideologies, in reality, many beautiful women from various factions have been poached by him to work for his company as lifelong employees.

There are high school girls, police officers, shrine maids, mercenaries, maids, demon kings, and even loan sharks; the talent pool is all-encompassing.

Besides Sigma's daughter and Jia En's childhood sweetheart, he also has a particular fondness for a certain wicked woman who is comparable to the Yae no Miko in Punishing: Gray Raven and Genshin Impact.

However, given the current situation, he might have a hard time summoning the people from the Otherworld Agency.

After all, summoners need someone to help them accumulate energy.

Li Chaoge stroked Sigma's little head as he finished telling her the stories he had found, and finally kissed her forehead gently.

Goodnight Sigma.

"Okay! Goodnight, Daddy~"

Sigma nestled her petite, flat body under the covers, and only after Li Chaoge kissed her forehead as always did she close her eyes and drift into sleep.

It is 11:39:41 PM now. According to her father's eight-hour work-rest rule, she will get up at the same time at 7:00 AM tomorrow morning.

.....................

Inside the bathroom, Kiana and the others quickly washed themselves outside the large bathtub before jumping into the tub.

With a splash, warm water sprayed everywhere.

"call!"

"After a long day of playing, taking a hot bath is so relaxing!"

Kiana and Kurumi emerged from the water, wiped the water droplets from their faces, and began playing around the large bathtub.

"Kiana, are you clean? Why are you in such a hurry to go in?"

Mei, who was still rubbing her hair and washing off the bubbles, saw Kiana and the others quickly wash and run inside, and couldn't help but ask.

"Hey Mei, you've been home and haven't gone anywhere, you don't need to wash up, come down here!"

Kiana gets a headache whenever Mei lectures her. Although being lectured by Mei is a kind of happiness compared to losing her, the captain still needs to keep an eye on Mei. Always worrying about these things will make her look old and haggard!

"Kiana, you don't understand. Mei is preparing for the Captain's arrival later."

After showering under the showerhead, Bronya and Seele walked lightly to the edge of the bathtub and slowly entered the water. As they leaned against the edge of the tub and closed their eyes, they smiled faintly.

Although Kiana has matured a lot now, her maturity is more reflected in her sense of responsibility and commitment. She still acts impulsively many times and doesn't think too much about the underlying reasons.

"Oh! I see!"

Upon hearing Bronya's explanation, Kiana suddenly understood and looked at Mei with a subtle smile.

"Mei, you should have said so earlier. I would have misunderstood if you hadn't."

"Bronya, don't talk nonsense! I didn't mean that!!!"

Hearing Bronya and Kiana making fun of her to her face, Mei whispered in embarrassment and anger.

Who would make special preparations to welcome the captain later? She didn't even think about that kind of thing!

"I understand, I understand, Mei, you don't need to be shy."

Kiana waved her hand dismissively, as if to say, "You don't need to hide it." Mei felt a little embarrassed, sensing that everyone was watching. She quickly finished washing up and went into the bath to reprimand Kiana and Bronya.

The others watched Kiana and Mei play around, and after thinking for a while, they also slowly washed themselves and entered the bath.

Although the villa's bathtub was large, the water level still rose considerably when so many people entered together. Fortunately, General Raiden and Root didn't come, and Xi and Sigma were absent for their own reasons; otherwise, the bathtub would have been completely packed and impossible to move.

Hu Tao watched Kiana and Mei chatter on, seemingly having nothing to do with the conversation, with a smile on her face, and sighed inwardly.

Chaoge is right. Seeing certain scenes inevitably evokes memories for her, and not being saddened by them doesn't mean she's forgotten them.

Compared to her, who was almost all alone, Kiana had many family members who cared about her... although Kiana's other experiences weren't exactly pleasant either.

The people in the bath were more or less envious of Mei and Kiana's friendship. Being able to like the same person and still have such a good relationship is something many people can't do.

Like Lucia and Selena, Miyu and Megumi McQueen, their relationship is actually not bad, but it is not as harmonious as the friendship that Mei and the others have formed through going through various hardships together. Although they can also enjoy Li Chaoge's love together, there is still some distance between them in their daily interactions.

This is bad; these guys from Honkai Impact 3 are a bit troublesome.

Ayaka Kamisato, Exusiai, Selena, Ereshkigal, and the others couldn't help but secretly ponder how to deal with Mei and the others.

Mei and the others still have one spot left. Now, including Kurohime, there are five people on the Honkai side. Adding one more will make it six people. Moreover, each of them is very capable. They are either Herrschers or near-Herrschers, which is much stronger than Arknights, which has the same number of people but much weaker physical abilities.

However, they didn't have a good solution for the time being. Relationships can't be made close just by being close. It's already quite good that former rivals can put aside their prejudices and come together to discuss things. How can you expect them to be intimately close without any barriers?

Unable to be intimately close emotionally, and unable to defeat so many Herrschers in terms of strength, Kurumi, who had only recently arrived, was astonished after learning about the situation from Ayaka Kamisato and the others.

The main characters are supposed to save the world, but they're all Herrschers who can destroy the world. It's ridiculous.

"Kiana, you guys ate a lot tonight, didn't you? You still have so much energy to play around in the bath."

While they were playing around, Li Chaoge finished coaxing his sweet little girl and came to the bathroom. Looking at the bathtub splashing with water because of Kiana and the others' playful antics, he raised an eyebrow and smiled.

Although the rising steam in the bathhouse obscured some of the view, he still couldn't keep track of all the beautiful women in the bathhouse. It was hard to imagine how he managed to get through each night with so many beautiful girls.

"Boss, you're here! How come you're here so fast?!"

Kiana had just stopped playing around and hadn't even spoken when Exusiai saw Li Chaoge appear in the bathroom and stared at him in shock.

"...A-Neng, you think you're all set now, huh?"

Li Chaoge smiled slightly and looked at Exusiai, who was speaking with a meaningful tone.

He knew that Exusiai would get itchy if she didn't fight him for an hour. If he were an ordinary person, he wouldn't be able to do anything to this guy. Although Exusiai is a ranged attacker, her physical strength is also far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, he possesses the Source Cube, which allows him to gradually modify and strengthen his body. Over time, he can become stronger without training. Moreover, he also has Command Seals to convert energy and restore his body. He no longer takes the mere Exia seriously.

Not to mention Exusiai, even if you add Exusiai's sister, the wheelchair-bound angel, and the fallen angel Mordred, he could easily take her down.

"Hehe, boss, take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

Upon seeing Li Chaoge's smile, Exusiai immediately backed down. Although the Doctor couldn't defeat so many of them, dealing with her alone wouldn't be a problem.

Although the joy it brings is hard to describe, and each moment of happiness can increase one's power a little, an excessive increase at once can be very uncomfortable.

It doesn't refer to physical problems, but rather to developing a dependence on the Doctor as if taking poison. When facing the Doctor, one becomes completely obsessed and unable to extricate oneself, and it takes a long time to come back to one's senses.

Of course, that was her previous opinion. Now she and Heinrich have a good relationship, and she has made some guesses based on her private conversations with Heinrich.

Heinrich is a ship girl born from a Mind Cube. The Doctor, as their commander, also has a Mind Cube in his body. Every time they are close together and receive energy from the Mind Cube to enhance their strength, their hearts are closer, and they can even feel each other's thoughts and feelings.

Her words might be because there's no Rubik's Cube to stop her, so she's always overwhelmed and unable to control herself by the energy and love gushing out from the professor's Rubik's Cube.

The others should feel the same way, but her strength is relatively weak, and because she always likes to tease the Doctor, she feels it the most.

Seeing that Exusiai decisively backed down, Li Chaoge was speechless, but he didn't say anything.

"Master, would you like a body scrub now?"

Belfast then walked in from outside, placed some snacks and drinks in a fruit platter by the bathtub, wrapped a towel around herself, walked up to Li Chaoge, bowed slightly, and smiled.

"Then I'll have to trouble Belfast."

Li Chaoge, who was just about to rinse off before entering the bath, nodded and replied with a smile.

Having a perfect head maid is great; most of the time, you don't even have to tell her what to do.

"Zhao and Yingrui, come over here with us."

Belfast walked behind Li Chaoge while glancing at Zhao and Yingrui at the edge of the bathtub.

She didn't call Heinrich and Ayanami over; it's better to let the new recruits get to know the commander better at times like this.

Seeing Belfast's gesture, Zhao and Yingrui, who had been hesitant due to embarrassment, gritted their teeth, stepped out of the bathtub, and came over to help with their slender feet, still wet with water droplets, on the smooth floor.
