And when he thought about how this perfect girl that others dreamed of but could not get was bound to him forever just because he casually pulled her, Yu Qi felt a strong sense of sadness in his heart...

Joy!!!

"Hmm? Boss, why are you looking at me so happily?" Looking at the silly Yu Qi in confusion, Alicia raised her hand: "Okay, we're done, Boss, you can get up now."

"Woo~ cough cough, nothing, just thought of some happy things." With a light cough, Yu Qi restrained his smile and slowly sat up from the chair.

After tentatively moving around for a bit, he felt much more comfortable than before, which made him sigh: "Ailishiya, your skills are really good. If you were out there, you could open a massage parlor! Have you learned it?"

"It's okay. I haven't learned it specifically, but..." After a pause, Alicia shook her head and said nothing more.

After all, it is better not to mention the thing that "because of my rich experience in fighting humanoid creatures, I know exactly which muscles to start with, making it easiest to kill humanoid creatures."

Seeing that Alicia didn't want to talk, Yu Qi didn't ask any more questions. After standing up and swaying for a while, he turned his head to look at Alicia and said, "By the way, Alicia, please help me buy some pork from the market later."

"Pork?" She was stunned at first, and then seemed to have thought of something, and Alicia showed a look of sudden realization: "Oh, that, I know."

Standing up, showing her plump body unscrupulously in front of Yu Qi, Alicia went back to the kitchen to wash her hands and asked, "How much do you need this time? One thousand tons? Or ten thousand tons?"

"Tons? No, no, no, not that much." Shocked by the number Alicia reported, Yu Qi waved his hand hastily: "Go find the butcher shop for me and buy two forest pigs."

Forest pigs are one of the unique creatures of Teyvat. They are also one of the most active residents on the continent of Teyvat, and are widely active in the suburbs of various places.

It is a wild animal with a stubborn temperament.

They look somewhat similar to wild boars. Due to their extremely tenacious survival ability and strong reproductive capacity, they can be seen in various woodlands and wildernesses. The meat sold in various butcher shops and restaurants on the continent of Teyvat is generally forest pig meat.

Compared to the domestic pigs that Yu Qi remembered generally weighed only two hundred pounds each, forest pigs were larger in size and naturally heavier. A forest pig could generally produce four hundred to five hundred pounds of pork, and two forest pigs would naturally produce about one thousand pounds.

Yu Qi naturally planned to use all of this much pork to refine blood-recovering pills; one pound of pork could produce one bottle, which contained sixteen blood-recovering pills, and the next one thousand six hundred pills to be delivered to Keqing would only require a total of one hundred pounds of pork.

"If it's one thousand kilograms, that's sixteen thousand pills. After deducting the demand from the General Affairs Department of the Seven Stars and Eight Gates Thousand Rocks Army, there will probably be seven or eight thousand pills left. It should be enough to last for a while. After all, one bottle costs five thousand Mora."

"Two, enough..." After asking, Alicia suddenly remembered that she was now on the continent of Teyvat and no longer needed so many blood-recovering pills. She changed the subject and said, "Okay, I was wrong."

Shaking her head, she stretched out her hand towards Yu Qi.

Looking at Alicia in confusion, Yu Qi didn't understand what she meant for a moment.

"Give me the money. Two forest pigs cost at least 10,000 Mora. How can I have so much money?" Ai Lixia rolled her eyes helplessly at Yu Qi who seemed too slow in every aspect. She sighed, "Could it be that, boss, you want a beautiful girl like me to go to the butcher shop to buy on credit?!"

"Um... sorry, sorry!" Only then did he remember that the little Mora he had given to Alicia before was not enough. Yu Qi thought about it and simply took out his bank card and took Alicia directly to the Northland Bank.

Under the warm hospitality of Manager Andre, Yu Qi directly withdrew 100,000 Mora and gave it to Alicia for daily expenses. Then he helped her apply for a bank card and transferred 5 million Mora to her.

"Phew, I guess I'll need your help buying a lot of things in the future, so use this first, and come back to me when you've used up all the money."

"Oh, okay!" After playing with the Mora in her hand for a while, Alicia flipped her hand, and the full bag of Mora disappeared. No one knew where she had received it.

"Come to think of it, boss, is this the salary you paid me in advance? Even if I was at the Fire Moth, it was several years' salary!"

Of course, what Alicia didn't mention was that as the number one fighter of the Fire Moth back then, any of her expenses could be reimbursed by the Fire Moth, even if it was just buying a string of candied haws on a daily basis - the so-called salary was just a formality.

"Salary?" Yu Qi tilted his head and looked at Alysia in a daze: "Do you still want salary?"

"Oh, so the boss thinks I'm one of his own, so he doesn't think about the salary. Oh, that's really happy!" Smiling, Alicia came closer and played with the hair beside her ear: "Okay, boss, you go ahead, I'll go buy something for you."

"..." Looking at Alicia's back in the distance, Yu Qi shook his head and turned to walk towards the store.

Back in the store, looking at the empty lobby, he thought about it and was not idle.

He picked up the ordered shelves aside and started visiting the lobby.

On the left is a five-layer storage rack, which is used to store blood recovery pills and other pills that may be released in the future; on the right is a weapon rack, which is used to place weapons and equipment that will be forged later.

There is a long counter in the middle, where Yu Qi or Alicia will sit to receive guests. Behind the counter is a medicine cabinet to store some strange things that Yu Qi may want to sell later.

After quickly putting away all the things, Yu Qi shook his head as he looked at the empty shelves. He planned to find time in the evening to fill them up, and then he could open the store as soon as the sign was delivered tomorrow.

"Come to think of it, it seems that there are only me and Alicia in the shop, which is not enough. Should we hire another waiter?"

After all, if he has free time in the future, he will stay in the cave in the backyard to study alchemy, forging or making elixirs. The task of receiving guests can only be left to Alicia. But if she is alone, it will be okay if there are fewer guests, but if there are too many guests, I am afraid she will never be able to handle it.

"As for recruiting... it seems a bit too troublesome." Raising his hand and rubbing his chin, Yu Qi's attention naturally focused on the shipbuilding knowledge in his mind. Some of them just happened to meet his needs, and the conditions he had at hand seemed to be just enough to make it.

"Manjiu~" A simple and cute little yellow chicken appeared in my mind. As a helper of the ships, this Manjiu can almost be called a universal tool man.

From small tasks like cleaning to medium tasks like building houses, to big tasks like assisting in scientific research, in short, with the knowledge that Yu Qi had obtained, there seemed to be nothing that they could not do.

"Okay, it's decided, let's make a Barbarian."

Closing the door casually, Yu Qi turned and walked into the backyard. On the empty dirt land, a patch of green lawn stood out particularly.

Walking into the pavilion and sitting facing the Yiqi stove, Yu Qi began to rummage through the inventory.

"Let me see. To make the Barbarian Bird, first of all, I need enough 'special metals'. Well, this is not difficult to make." He casually took out a pile of white iron ore and threw it into the furnace. With a flick of his fingertips, elemental power flowed in continuously, and a blazing flame suddenly ignited in the furnace.

These were collected by him on the way to Liyue Harbor. It must be said that the Liyue area is truly a mineral paradise. You can see a lot of exposed iron ore just by walking for a while in the wild.

The flames rose, and all the white iron ore instantly melted into molten iron. The slag mixed in it was transformed into a dark black crystal under the action of the furnace and discharged from the furnace.

With a casual pull, Yu Qi took the black crystal back into his inventory. Although this thing was the waste slag discharged from refining iron ore in a gas furnace, it could be considered a special substance if it was really counted.

Not only is it harder than ordinary metal, it is also extremely light, and has very good ductility and plasticity. Most importantly, it has extremely strong resistance to elemental forces. Even if it is hit by ordinary elemental force skills, it will not be damaged.

Yu Qi also planned to use the collected materials to make a shield or something after he collected more.

Not to mention the waste slag, watching the molten iron in the furnace gradually stabilize, Yu Qi raised his palm and placed it on the Yi Qi furnace. With the blessing of the 'Heart of the Thunder Wolf', a huge amount of thunder elemental power poured into the furnace, and was not converted into spiritual energy for the flame to burn.

Instead, as before, it transformed into a strong magnetic field, began to continuously shape the shape of the molten iron, and then activated the furnace, allowing the molten iron to quickly condense into iron blocks.

"It's a pity that I don't know any weapon refining techniques from the immortal cultivation world, otherwise I wouldn't have to use such crude methods." Shaking his head, Yu Qi distractedly thought about what kind of food could give him the ability to 'refine weapons', while quickly engraving the unique circuits for ship equipment on the iron block in the furnace.

Compared to the first time forging, his movements were now more skillful and his speed was getting faster and faster. In just over ten minutes, he had completed the engraving of a circuit that was several times more complicated than the first time.

After retracting his hand and letting out a light breath, Yu Qi looked through the thick furnace wall and saw several iron frames that were gradually taking on the shape of chicks. Then he flipped his hand, and a large gray egg and a piece of crystal jade appeared in his hand.

He then took out the spiritual crystal that he had accidentally created during alchemy in the morning. Yu Qi looked at the three things in his hand with a strange expression: "Speaking of which, it was thanks to these two things I won today, plus the method of processing elemental power that Zhongli gave me, that I was able to purify the spiritual crystal.

Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until my alchemy skills advance to be able to create a barbarian."

After all, although something like the Manchu is said to be a mechanical creation, it is actually not much different from a normal life form. In alchemy, only an alchemist with extraordinary strength can create a living thing.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it too much." Shaking his head, putting aside the subtle feeling brought by "coincidence", Yu Qi picked up the crystal jade block, crushed it violently, and a flame-like light spot appeared in his palm.

"Two-star card: Spark: The core that a certain mechanical life form relies on for existence, but it is also the favorite food of another mechanical life form. Putting it into a mechanical creation has a chance of awakening its consciousness."

Looking at this description that seemed like déjà vu, Yu Qi felt calm. After experiencing the baptism of drawing the living being 'Alisa', Yu Qi would not be surprised at all no matter what was drawn from the food card pool.

As for why the fire was crushed?

Because what he was planning to create was a little yellow chicken, and he didn't want to awaken the original consciousness in the fire, the soul energy in it was enough.

Yu Qi casually put the spark of consciousness into the spiritual crystal in his hand, then picked up the big gray egg beside him. Looking at the mottled color marks on the eggshell, his expression became a little complicated.

"Two-star Card - Digi-Egg (Death): A Digi-Egg that has lost its Digi-Core has long lost the possibility of hatching. The only fate is to be crushed as waste for other Digimon to absorb data. However, if a new Digi-Core can be added to it, there may be a chance to create a brand new miracle."

"Digimon?" Various familiar figures kept appearing in my mind: Taichi, Agumon, Izumi Koshiro, Kabutomon, Yagami Hikari, Tailmon...

These figures who grew up with him have not appeared in his mind for a long time without him realizing it. If he had not suddenly seen this 'Digi Egg (Death)' today, he might really not have remembered them.

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye!" With a soft sigh, Yu Qi pressed the spiritual crystal mixed with the power of fire on the digital egg. The seemingly hard eggshell seemed to suddenly turn into a shadow when it touched the spiritual crystal, allowing Yu Qi's palm to stuff the spiritual crystal into the eggshell.

"The last thing is~" He raised his hand and threw the digital egg stuffed with the spiritual crystal into the furnace. The moment it came into contact with the flame, the gray digital egg was directly shattered and turned into a string of emerald green and crystal blue characters.

Under Yu Qi's careful manipulation, densely packed characters covered the chicken-shaped iron frame in the furnace, a bright light lit up, and finally turned into a large oval egg.

"Phew~ Success!" The flame went out, and Yu Qi looked at the five 'digital eggs' quietly arranged together in the furnace, and breathed a sigh of relief.

With a wave of his hand, he used the magnetic field to carefully drag the digital eggs out of the cauldron and placed them in the pavilion.

At this moment, there was a light knock on the door of the cave not far away, and at the same time, Alicia asked in confusion: "Boss, are you there?"

"?" Looking back in confusion, Yu Qi didn't expect that Alicia would come back so soon. He stood up and walked to the door. After setting up permissions for Alicia to enter and exit the cave at any time, Yu Qi took her back to the pavilion. At this time, the five "digital eggs" began to tremble slightly, as if they couldn't wait to break out of the shells.

"Wow, boss, what is this?" Curiously approaching the eggshell, Alicia carefully stretched out her hand to touch it, but before she touched it, a crack suddenly appeared on the eggshell, and she was so scared that she quickly withdrew her hand.

"Crack~" accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, five furry little heads squeezed open the thick eggshell.

The next moment, a white light appeared, causing Yu Qi and the others to squint their eyes. When they regained their vision, all the digital eggs had disappeared, replaced by five chubby little yellow chickens.

The savage beast is born!

"..."A pair of small black eyes, a blush on both sides of the cheeks, and a tuft of sticky hair on the head.

The short wings... or rather the palms were shaking slightly. These barbarians shook their heads as if they were dizzy, and looked at Yu Qi and Alicia in silence.

then……

"Wow!!!" With a surprised scream, Alicia rushed over without hesitation and hugged them tightly in her arms amidst the horrified expressions of all the barbarians.

With her slightly chubby cheeks, she rubbed the furry little cuties in her arms. Her whole appearance seemed to become rounder. As the sun shone, she held these little cubs with a look of satisfaction on her face.

"Hehehe, so cute!"

"..." Looking at the intoxicated Alicia in silence, Yu Qi never expected that Alicia, who looked lively and more insightful than anyone else on weekdays, would become like this when meeting Man Ju... an expression that only an ordinary girl would show.

"Chirp, chirp~" However, compared to Alicia's happiness, the wild chirps in her arms were not so happy. After waking up from a brief daze, they pushed Alicia's cheeks and arms hard, trying to escape from her clutches.

However, she didn't dare to push them too hard because she was afraid of hurting them... This made Alicia very happy. She rubbed her cheek against their wings one by one and muttered, "Wow, little cuties, are you saying hello to me?"

Lifting up the barbarians and spinning around, Alicia introduced herself to them amid their horrified expressions: "I am Alicia, a beautiful girl as gorgeous as a flower! From now on, you can call me Sister Alicia. Remember, Sister Alicia!"

“Chirp, chirp, chirp…”

"Yeah, so good, so good~" Completely not understanding the little birds' protests, Alicia smiled and took them back into her arms and continued to knead them.

It feels furry yet smooth, and it feels wonderful to touch. Plus, the slightly warm temperature...

"Emm...it's so comfortable!"

In the end, Yu Qi couldn't bear to see her torturing the wild birds anymore, so he forcibly rescued them.

“Chirp, chirp, chirp…” Standing on the table, several barbaric chirps complained to Yu Qi about Alicia’s crimes. In response, Yu Qi just rubbed their heads helplessly: “Well, okay, okay, I got it. I will warn her. Next time I must get your consent before doing this!”

"Woo~~ Boss, I know I was wrong, just say a few good words for me, these little guys are just too cute! Just like me, boss, if you saw me when I was a kid, you would definitely hold me in your arms and give me a good rub!"

"Well, of course, I am also very beautiful now! Cute and beautiful are a perfect match!"

Listening to Alicia's words that sounded more like boasting than an apology, Yu Qi raised his hand and tapped her head unhappily: "You, come on, stop talking nonsense. Where is the thing I want you to buy?"

"Hmph~ Boss, you really don't understand girls! If you just praise me and promise to give me a wild chick, my favorability towards you will skyrocket!"

Alicia pouted, looked around, raised her hand and said, "All the things are here. Do you want to take them out now? It seems there is no place to put them."

"It's okay, just throw it in here!"

Chapter 62: Buyers coming one after another

Looking at the Yiqi stove that Yu Qi was pointing at, Ailisa, who had already smelled the rich aroma of food in the air, had a strange expression on her face.

With a wave of his hand, two huge black forest pigs that had been processed long ago appeared out of thin air, with a little thin ice on their sturdy bodies. It was obvious that the butcher shop must have used alchemical items similar to ice storage when storing them.

Watching the forest pig fall into the furnace, Alicia stretched out her hand again, and several things in sacks appeared beside the two of them. Without her saying a word, the Barbarian Squad, who were ready to go, came over decisively.

He lifted the sack as if he had learned it by himself, and under the gaze of Alicia and Yu Qi, all kinds of spices poured out and fell into the deep furnace mouth.

"Ah, these little guys are so sensible? And they are so strong?"

It seemed like the first time she saw such a capable little animal. Looking at the barbarians who walked back with high spirits and saluted Yu Qi to show that they had successfully completed their mission, Alicia couldn't help but reach out and pick up another one, holding it in her arms and teasing it carefully.

I want to see how they can lift such a heavy bag with such skinny chicken wings.

Looking at Manju's angry resistance, Alicia couldn't help but smile. This little guy who was so human and could help with work reminded her of the armed puppets of Mu Continent that she had seen on the news before.

They all understand human nature, are just as lively and cute, and just as smart and capable. Apart from their appearance and possibly some disparity in combat power, those armed puppets and today's Barbarians look very similar in other aspects.

However, thinking of the armed dolls, Alicia couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

When Dr. Einstein from Mu Continent held a press conference for the armed dolls, Alicia actually wanted to attend - of course, the reason why she was so active was entirely to work together to fight against the great cause of Honkai!

It's not because I want to cuddle and hug those cute little guys up close. It would be best if I could take the opportunity to kidnap one or two Fire Moths and raise them (seriously).

But unfortunately, Dr. Mei, who had become a senior executive of the Fire Moth at that time, seemed to have seen through Alicia's little thoughts, and simply and decisively rejected her application for a business trip, and instead asked her to deal with several large groups of Honkai beasts.

Later, she heard various news about the armed puppets, such as repelling the tide of Honkai beasts in Mu Continent, and launching a rebellion, forcing humans to declare recognition of the independence of the armed puppets and no longer force them to fight for them.

Even the creator of the armed puppets, Dr. Einstein, announced that he would give up the control over the armed puppets and give them absolute "freedom"!

Then came the advent of the Ninth Herrscher, and the entire Mu Continent sank into the abyss under the power of the pseudo-black hole. From then on, the armed puppets completely disappeared from the world.

And Alicia, even until the end, was unable to fulfill her wish to hug those cute little ones in person.

Thinking about it now, it’s a bit regrettable.
