He could summon Mebius later to enjoy the company of both the snake and Alicia. Speaking of which, he liked both Padphilis and Gretchen; if he could only summon one at a time, he'd struggle with the decision for a long time.

This time, the light from the summoning halo didn't last as long as before, but the person's attire was still noticeable: black cat ears, white spiral twin tails, a midriff-baring maid outfit, and a fluffy snowflake tail behind their buttocks.

Li Chaoge couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment. What happened? Had Izayoi Sakuya used up all of Kiana's luck?

Hmm, it seems like another frivolous maid has arrived, and this one seems even more frivolous than Alicia.

"Where's Lucia? Her and Selena's signals in the Hanging Gardens suddenly disappeared. Could they have come here to you?"

After the white-haired girl in a cat-eared maid outfit with double curls appeared, she crossed her arms and looked around. When she saw Li Chaoge, her eyes lit up and her face showed obvious joy. She immediately walked towards Li Chaoge.

"Lucia? You are...Karenina?"

When the girl mentioned Lucia, Li Chaoge looked at her with some hesitation.

The name Lucia is not uncommon, but there is only one Lucia here, Lucia from the Gray Raven squad in Punishing: Gray Raven.

There are no dedicated maids in Punishing: Gray Raven because many characters are constructs. So, maid outfits are usually special paint jobs. Li Chaoge remembers that before he quit the game, only Bianca, who was clearing out troops, had a maid outfit.

As for the girl in front of him, she was dressed more like a catgirl than a maid... It seemed to be the paint job of the Karenina Ember Snow Leopard Contract that he had not yet obtained.

"You...you don't recognize me just because I changed my clothes!?"

The girl was initially happy to see Li Chaoge, but when she saw his hesitant expression, as if he were a complete stranger, she immediately flew into a rage, grabbed Li Chaoge by the collar, and said viciously.

Sakuya Izayoi and G36 frowned slightly upon seeing this, wanting to step forward to stop the cat-eared maid girl's behavior, but Belfast stopped them, quietly explaining the other party's origins to them.

It was her first time meeting the other person, but because she had specifically collected relevant information, she was able to identify the girl as Karenina from Punishing: Gray Raven the moment she appeared, based on her characteristics. She was an old acquaintance of Lucia, who was vying for the position of Commander.

Although she has a rather irritable temper and is unwilling to admit defeat in any aspect, and likes to compete with Lucia, she is also a Commander fan like many others in the Hanging Gardens. She often cares about the Commander in a hurried tone, which is generally referred to as tsundere.

After listening to Belfast's whispered explanation, Izayoi Sakuya and G36 both abandoned their previous thoughts of stopping them and silently watched Karenina and Li Chaoge.

They are not tsundere, but they have a lot of experience dealing with tsundere. Remilia, whom Izayoi Sakuya serves, is a tsundere loli. Not to mention the tsundere among the tactical dolls. There must be many tsundere among so many tactical dolls. Only the commander can handle so many tsundere with ease and not let them become yandere.

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand. I just didn't expect you to wear this outfit. Aren't you usually shy about wearing clothes like this? Did you change into this outfit especially for me?"

On the other side, Li Chaoge was still explaining his reaction to Karenina. Although he had never actually seen Karenina before, and this was the first time he had seen her in real life, he couldn't speak like that at this moment.

The same situation, phrased differently, can give a completely different impression. To avoid Karenina pressing him for answers, he even asked her if she dressed like that for his sake.

Based on his understanding of Karenina's personality, he would definitely deny it immediately, and then casually mention it to her.

"Huh?! Who do you think you are? Why would I wear such shameful clothes just for you?!"

As expected, Karenina reacted as if she had heard a hilarious joke when she heard Li Chaoge's words, and she retorted loudly with a flushed face.

Looking at Karenina's textbook-perfect arrogance, Li Chaoge secretly admired his own wit. He asked Karenina a series of questions to stop her from questioning him, and even made Karenina blush.

I feel like I'm getting further and further down the path of being a scumbag, and my skills in charming girls are getting better and better. I hope I don't mess things up one day.

"Hmph! Actually, I don't know why it turned out like this. I didn't have a ticket to time travel, yet I was suddenly summoned here. I was just checking the landmines near your house in the Hanging Gardens."

Finding that Li Chaoge didn't speak but was only staring at her intently, Karenina couldn't help but turn her head away, her flowing white spirals covering her flushed cheeks. She gave a soft hum and then seriously explained why she had come here.

She knew about the time travel, but she wasn't as fast as the others at grabbing tickets, and Lucia managed to snatch them from her!

I was quite unwilling at first, but I didn't expect her to come over here in such a confused way.

"Um...can I ask you, you didn't plant the landmines to ambush people, did you?"

Landmines? What landmines? Li Chaoge was taken aback when he heard Karenina mention landmines, and he was a little curious as to why Karenina would plant landmines.

Karenina is from the Aerial Gardens engineering unit, so laying landmines is a routine job for her. But there shouldn't be any enemies in the Aerial Gardens, since it's their main base.

If the enemy has already reached the Hanging Gardens, laying some landmines won't do any good, so he couldn't help but suspect that Karenina was trying to sabotage someone.

"What do you think? Did you think I was going to bomb Lucia?"

Karenina rolled her eyes at Li Chaoge, not intending to continue the topic. Instead, she looked around and, seeing that she didn't recognize any of them, asked, "Speaking of which, where is the Lucia? Didn't she come to greet me? Is she fighting with Selena?"

Because someone's philandering story was widely known among the various construct teams in the Hanging Gardens, many people also knew about the relationship between Lucia and Selena.

Now that Lucia, who had the ticket to travel through time, has disappeared, Selena has also vanished, leading her to suspect that the two of them may have both ended up here.

"She and Selena are resting in the next room, possibly checking the room."

Li Chaoge explained that although the rooms were clean and ready for immediate check-in, the group was clearly divided into different small groups, and they often had to separate to discuss private topics.

He actually wanted everyone to live in harmony and without distinction, but when he thought about how his own fighting power wasn't constantly replenished by Command Seals, he silently accepted the current state of these small groups.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he was actually better at dealing with small groups; when there were too many people, he was the one who got teased.

"Oh, then I'll go find her first."

Karenina nodded, glanced at everyone in the room, waved her hand, and turned to find her lifelong rival, Lucia.

It wasn't that she wanted to settle scores with Lucia, nor was she thinking about these things all the time. When you come to a new place, you have to do your research beforehand. Apart from the commander, that idiot, she didn't know anyone else in this room, so there were many questions she couldn't ask.

"Wait a minute, Karenina."

"Dry"

Before she could even utter the word "ma," Karenina turned around and found herself in Li Chaoge's arms.

"What are you doing?! What are you doing?!"

In an instant, Karenina's cheeks flushed crimson. She looked up and stammered as Li Chaoge, who was holding her and lowering his head, lowered himself down.

She never expected that this idiot commander would suddenly launch a sneak attack on her, even though she knew that this guy had always had many strange interests, such as playing with Lucia's twin tails, sleeping while hugging Liv's leg, playing games while holding Number 21 on his lap, and smearing white ice cream on Sofia's face, etc., which were terrible behaviors that only close people would play with him.

Overall, he is very upright and reliable. He often risks his life for his teammates and partners, otherwise he wouldn't be trusted, followed, and even admired by so many people.

She never expected that this guy would, so suddenly, want to...

You don't think I'm going to kiss you, do you?

Just as Karenina couldn't help but close her eyes, she heard Li Chaoge's soft laughter.

"hateful!"

Upon hearing this, Karenina immediately opened her eyes and glared angrily at Li Chaoge, who had tricked her.

However, the next second, Karenina, who had just opened her eyes, saw Li Chaoge's face fill her vision and felt the heat from his lips. Karenina instantly froze.

"I regret to inform you that you guessed correctly."

After enjoying the girl's gentle touch, Li Chaoge released Karenina and smiled slightly as he looked at her, who still seemed bewildered and hadn't quite recovered.

Compared to Sakuya Izayoi of G36, Karenina's feelings for him are more romantic, since Karenina doesn't have a master-servant relationship with him like Sakuya Izayoi of G36.

It was for this reason that he chose to give Karenina a more enthusiastic welcome, as a way of making up for his mistake of not recognizing her at first.

Judging from Karenina's reaction, the welcoming ceremony was so enthusiastic that she felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"You, you just wait! I'm going to find Lucia!"

Karenina finally came to her senses. Looking at Li Chaoge's smiling face, she panicked and didn't know what to say. She left behind a strange and harsh remark and immediately fled the room to find Lucia.

As for the purpose of being forcibly kissed by the commander and then going to find Lucia, she had no idea.

She and Lucia are rivals, so she can't very well ask her rival for help, and it's also inappropriate to use it to show off, since she was the one who was forcibly kissed; it would be more appropriate if the roles were reversed.

Next time, next time she'll forcefully kiss this guy back, and then she'll brag to Lucia about it!

Karenina was unaware that Lucia and Li Chaoge's relationship had now far surpassed her own. In her mind, Lucia was just a simpleton who didn't understand such things at all, so how could she have made such a breakthrough in just a few days?

"hehe."

Watching Karenina wag her tail and flee in disarray, Li Chaoge smiled with satisfaction.

Although he may have used up his luck with the first two maids, and neither Alicia nor Karenina were proper maids, he was still quite satisfied with the result.

G36 and Izayoi Sakuya are both extremely talented and professional; with them around, the pressure on Belfast will be greatly reduced.

As for Alicia and Karenina, forget it. Making them maids would only make them cause trouble.

"Toying with a young girl's innocence, Captain, is even more wicked than I imagined."

Alicia walked gracefully to Li Chaoge's side, shaking her head and revealing a playful smile, then winked: "I wonder when the captain will allow me, a cute girl, to play with him a little."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see Karenina's feelings for Li Chaoge, so no one would object to this flirtatious behavior. They would just think that Li Chaoge was too wicked and that they should be more careful next time.

"Let's go eat first, and then we can explore the surrounding scenery."

It's not that he can't be manipulated by the pink fairy, Alicia, but the occasion isn't right. Li Chaoge decided to tone it down, ignore Alicia's constant flirting, and forcefully change the subject.

Now that the maid has been summoned, it's time to let the person in the Dust Song Pot come out as well.

Because of the treasure's ability to alter people's consciousness, they don't need to worry about the sudden influx of people attracting attention.

Having a Shibao is like having a thousand treasures at home. You could say that Shibao is an essential panacea for home, travel, murder, and arson. If you have the chance, you should cherish Shibao even more.

Upon receiving Li Chaoge's instructions, Belfast and Izayoi Sakuya G36, who had already understood the situation, bowed slightly and left the room to inform the others in the other rooms to go down to the restaurant for dinner.

"Qingge, how do you feel? Do you find it incredible?"

Li Chaoge and Kiana Ying walked down slowly, holding Sigma's little hand and looking at Qingge.

"It feels quite magical, like a magic trick."

Qingge exclaimed, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe that these incredibly beautiful girls came from another world?"

Even though she used to trust her brother completely, she once wondered if he had been deceived. It was only after seeing how close everyone was to her brother and how good they were to him that she believed it.

You can't believe it! In reality, where would my brother have the time to find so many girls and cultivate relationships? Only someone who's not in this world could find so many good girls for him.

"By the way, bro, do you like tsundere types?"

Qingge, recalling how Li Chaoge had seemed to enjoy teasing Karenina earlier, suddenly asked.

"I do like it, but to be precise, I like my own tsundere personality, not just the tsundere personality that's two-faced. What's wrong? Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Li Chaoge looked at Qingge with a puzzled expression, feeling that Qingge's question was a bit strange.

"Isn't the key point to liking yourself, rather than being arrogant?"

Qingge pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Of course, no matter what kind of personality they have, I feel lucky that they can like me."

Li Chaoge nodded. He no longer had the energy to make someone like him, so he cherished the girls who already liked him. They were all so outstanding, so why would he be unhappy that they liked him?

"Captain, it's our good fortune to be liked by you."

Hearing Li Chaoge inadvertently reveal his feelings for them again, Kiana couldn't help but stick out her tongue. Her slender, fair fingers quietly grasped Li Chaoge's arm, and her long, white ponytail swayed gently as she leaned on Li Chaoge's shoulder.

Ying glanced at Li Chaoge's other hand, which was being held by Sigma, and couldn't help but purse her lips. "What a scumbag brother, forgetting his sister for a pretty face."

Qingge paid no attention to the fact that her brother was surrounded by beautiful women, but instead focused her thoughts on the girl named Karenina.

That arrogant look she just had was exactly the same; she felt it was somewhat similar to Natsume and Tamamo-no-Mae from her dorm.

If it weren't for the various details proving that the other person was someone else, she might have even suspected that it was Zaozao who had gone back and changed her clothes to cosplay.

However, since this is how her brother treats those who like him... it's hard to say for Katya and Moxi, who haven't had much contact with him yet, but Zaozao and Bella Rose, who get along well with her brother and have a good impression of him, have a good chance.

Chapter 211. What kind of bribe is it to work overtime in your room?

Because Li Chaoge and her group were quite large, and the hotel's regular private rooms weren't that big, Belfast arranged for them to have lunch in the public restaurant.

Although this doesn't allow everyone to sit together, it's better than a bunch of people crammed around a table.

When Li Chaoge, Qingge, and Kiana came down to the restaurant, Isabella Rose and the others, who had put their things down in the room, were already sitting at the dining table.

After putting their luggage in the room, they went out to explore. Rhodes, the rock-and-roll girl who was the daughter of a conglomerate, was used to the hotel's decor, but seeing that Isabella, Moxi, and Katya were in high spirits, she followed them to explore some of the facilities. She had just been found and brought back here by a silver-haired woman who claimed to be Li Chaoge's maid.

"Master, I have informed everyone that it is time to eat. Belfast and G36 are adjusting the dishes according to your taste. Please wait a moment."

Dressed smartly and neatly, Izayoi Sakuya saw that Li Chaoge had come down and gave a slight bow to report on her work.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sakuya."

Li Chaoge smiled and nodded at Izayoi Sakuya. Although Belfast's meticulous care made him feel like a pampered young master, he had to admit that he enjoyed it and could only helplessly accept Belfast's heartfelt service.

Now that there are two more maids, Izayoi Sakuya and G36, Belfast should be able to relax a lot, but his treatment will probably be upgraded to another level, since Izayoi Sakuya and G36 are also maids who care deeply for their master.

“This is what Sakuya should do.”

Sakuya Izayoi straightened up and stood upright next to Li Chaoge, responding calmly.

Because of her exceptional time management abilities, Belfast assigned her to serve her master, which surprised her slightly, but it suited her wishes, and she did not object to Belfast's command as head maid.

The hotel's standard dining table can seat a maximum of eight people, yet there are already five tables occupied. Li Chaoge has ten people from different worlds with him, ranging from one or two to five or six. It's quite normal that so many people can't be seated at one table.

Seeing that everyone had taken their seats, except for Isabella and her group whose table was empty, Li Chaoge and Qing Geying sat down in the empty seats next to Isabella and her group.

He should be a little more polite now that he's just arrived and take care of Qingge's friends. He'll separate from Qingge and her friends to go out and spend time with his wives later.
