"Comrade, no need to be nervous, just relax and leave it to me."
Jiaoqiu smiled slightly.
Gesturing for Mok Tok to sit on the steps in front of him.
Treating injured soldiers on the battlefield was something Jiaoqiu was extremely skilled at.
As he methodically conducted various physical examinations.
Jiaoqiu's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly.
A cold light flashed in his pupils.
"Hmm?"
"Why do you have the scent of a Borisin on you?"
Mok Tok: "..."
Mok Tok's heart skipped a beat at that moment!
Allowing a foxian to examine him was already the greatest compromise he could make.
But he never expected!
This foxian physician could actually detect his original scent!
Wasn't the medicine from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus supposed to mask even his scent?
How could this damned foxian physician have such a keen sense of smell?
Mok Tok forced himself to remain calm.
He explained, "Perhaps it's because I fought with the Borisins earlier, and some of their blood must have gotten on me."
"Oh..."
Jiaoqiu glanced at Mok Tok.
He didn't say anything more.
And continued the examination.
Not long after.
Feixiao came over to inquire about the situation.
"General, this comrade is fine. He just has some Borisin scent on him. My suggestion: take a good bath after returning."
Mok Tok also showed a grateful expression.
He said, "Thank you, General Feixiao, and thank you, physician. I'd like to let my family know I'm safe."
Mok Tok picked up the Jade Abacus.
He gestured that he wanted to step aside to use it.
This was normal and perfectly reasonable.
Feixiao naturally had no reason to stop him.
"Finally, some peace and quiet."
Mok Tok let out a sigh of relief.
The events of today had been truly unbelievable.
If it had just been a life-and-death battle, fighting with everything he had, that would have been one thing.
That was the nature of the Borisins, and what they were best at.
But today, he had to put on an act for these Xianzhou people!
He felt like he had used up all his acting skills for a lifetime.
Even now, the muscles in his face were still sore!
But soon, it would all be over.
Mok Tok glanced at the prison.
He silently thought to himself.
"For the Borisins, for Lord Hoolay."
He opened the forum for Honkai: Star Rail.
The insider section.
He clicked to upload!
[I saw Yu Ling with my own eyes in The Shackling Prison! The Ten-Lords Commission sealed it off to prevent the news from leaking!]
[Post successful!]
Next.
All he had to do was wait for more players to see this post!
"I hope it attracts more attention as soon as possible..."
...
Little Gui's livestream.
At this moment.
The Astral Express Crew was accompanying Yanqing to the Artisanship Commission.
Earlier, the company's ship had been attacked by Borisins and was forced to dock at Luofu.
It seemed that the members of the company had a dispute with the Cloud Knights.
Everyone had come to resolve this matter.
Just as they arrived near the dock.
From a distance, they heard a familiar voice spouting nonsense.
"Do you people of the Xianzhou even have any sense of reason?"
"Haha, I think I understand now~ In your words, this is called taking advantage of a crisis, right?"
As soon as this voice was heard.
Even though the owner of the voice was still marked with three question marks.
The live chat was already flooded with corresponding comments!
...
"Hey, I think I heard a familiar voice. Is that Mr. Wang?"
"Hearing this familiar voice just made me laugh."
"The spineless dog makes a limited-time return."
"The main event begins!"
"We, the thrill-seekers, have caught the scent and are here~"
"Sparkle not knowing Skott is the biggest loss of her life."
"Skott! My brand-new cyber pet!"
...
Arriving at the scene.
Indeed!
The Sky-Faring Commission wanted to inspect the company's goods, but Skott was adamantly refusing to open the crates.
And he was being extremely arrogant!
"It's not like I haven't dealt with your Sky-Faring Commission before. I'm already used to your troublesome ways."
"But now you're outright robbing the company's goods. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"If you keep holding onto my goods, I'll file a lawsuit straight to your general!"
Faced with such a shameless person, the Sky-Faring Commission seemed helpless.
However.
Stelle strode forward confidently.
Greeting her old friend warmly.
[Seems like I heard a dog barking?]
"Bastard! Who are you calling a dog? How... it's you again?!"
Skott looked utterly defeated,
"Are you just sticking around Xianzhou and not leaving? Misfortunes never come singly, meeting you always brings bad luck..."
The situation on the scene was clear and straightforward.
Yanqing had heard of Stelle's legendary story of dealing with Skott in Aurum Alley before.
Therefore.
Naturally, it was up to Stelle to debate with Skott next!
A prompt popped up on the interface.
[Negotiation begins!]
[During the negotiation, if either party's morale value drops to 0, the negotiation ends immediately.]
Guinaifen's eyes lit up!
"I'm familiar with this!"
"It was a similar method when I debated with Professor Ratio before!"
"But here, there's no need to find arguments or points, it's purely about morale!"
"Whoever has higher morale wins!"
The negotiation begins!
The protagonist is presented with four options.
[Make a suggestion based on the law]
[Annoy him first and then talk]
[Threaten him by bringing up Yanqing]
[Make him recall embarrassing past events]
Without hesitation, Guinaifen immediately chose the fourth option!
What could be more effective in crushing morale than this?
The next second.
Stelle spoke up, "Let me introduce everyone to my old friend, Skott. He's a man of many talents, especially skilled at imitating animal friends."
"Shut... shut up! Let's just talk business, is it fun for you to bring up those old stories?"
March 7th looked intrigued, "Wow! That's amazing~ Can you teach me? What animals are you good at imitating?"
"Stop asking, stop asking..."
Skott's hands trembled slightly.
However.
Seeing the result.
Guinaifen was dumbfounded.
"What's going on?"
"Skott is almost broken! Yet it's our side that loses one point of morale, and the other side gains one point?"
"Hmm..."
"It seems this move needs to be used with caution."
Second round.
Skott brought up the value of the goods and the compensation.
Guinaifen decisively chose the option: [Paying money is out of the question].
Stelle stood with her hands on her hips.
With a look of disdain, she said, "What a joke. I've taken Herta's Curios, killed Ruan Mei's test subjects, and have I ever paid a single Credit? You dare ask me for money just by flapping your lips?"
Guinaifen was shocked!
Whose protagonist is this?
You couldn't find a second person in the entire universe this arrogant, could you?
Her aura is practically reaching the heavens!
And the next option was equally explosive!
[Rather than reasoning, it's better to go straight to madness]
Stelle's lips curled into a cold smile as she said, "By the way, if I swing my bat and smash everything, wouldn't you have to call someone to assess the damages and file a claim? Wouldn't that save us the trouble of safety checks?"
"Your logic is so chaotic, I can't even understand it. Why don't you go find a monkey, learn the art of speech from it, and then come back to spout this nonsense at me?"
Arrogant!
This is way too arrogant!
In any other setting, she'd definitely be a major villain!
But this is Honkai: Star Rail!
This is our protagonist of Honkai: Star Rail!
As Little Gui's live stream continued.
Stelle's remarks during the negotiation quickly went viral on the Interastral Peace Network!
Some players even made a compilation.
Must-watch of the week:
[The Most Arrogant Protagonist!]
...
"Ever since becoming a shareholder of Penacony, I've been getting more and more arrogant."
"Starcrusher Swarm King: Kids, this isn't funny."
"This patch has given me a super buff, and my negotiation with Skott is full of aggression."
"Does Skott not know about our connections with Topaz, Aventurine, and Asta? Just flapping his lips and daring to ask me for money?"
"LOL, Asta owes me a Star Destroyer!"
"Skott: Oh no!"
"Say what you will, but the sarcasm is on point. Skott's panicking!"
"It's like one thing subduing another."
"Every time Stelle speaks, it blows me away."
"She hardly ever opens her mouth, but when she does, it's always a classic!"
"Last time, I was lucky enough to see Stelle perform live in Penacony, and I have to say... she's really confident!"
"Just turned one year old, Stellaron spirit, barely humanoid, slightly understands human nature; grows stronger when faced with strength, combat power unknown; even when knowing she's outmatched, she still fights to the death!"
