Ch 509: The Gamble
In the scene.
Looking at the few mecha that appeared, Yanqing’s expression immediately became much more serious, and he said coldly, “I must remind you again, everyone from The Corporation, brawling in the streets is not allowed on the Luofu Xianzhou.”
“The Corporation, if you dare to attack, don’t blame me for smashing those scrap metal.” Yunli’s eyes also turned unfriendly.
Although The Corporation’s mecha looked decent, in the end, the few in front of them were just civilian models. They might be able to deal with ordinary soldiers, but they were far from a match for the two of them.
“Hehehe, don’t be nervous. I understand the Rules.”
Scott obviously understood this as well, and chuckled twice, “These are my subordinates. They were forced to stay on the Xianzhou because of the Transport Ship, and they’re a little worked up… In the end, it’s all your Xianzhou’s fault.
“I can forgive and forget the tea house incident.”
Scott changed the subject, “However, I can’t pretend I didn’t hear you questioning my company’s security capabilities. After all, with so many clients watching, will I still be able to do my shipping Business Deal?
“Besides, even if you spend your whole life learning Fancy Fists and Embroidered Legs, it’s better to spend money early and invest in burying my company’s civilian mecha. In a few days, you’ll be able to beat your Master to their knees begging for mercy.”
【Honkai: Star Rail-Yunli: Oh? Does that mean this guy still wants to try us with this broken junk?】
Looking at Yunli’s words in the Chat Room, for the sake of Luofu’s dignity, Yanqing couldn’t help but speak up.
【Honkai: Star Rail-Yanqing: Yanqing has only fought with the Goldengate Alley golems of the Xianzhou before, and has never competed with The Corporation’s mecha. I would like to try.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Jade: Hehe, please calm down, you two. Scott is just an ordinary Specialist within The Corporation. Perhaps he simply hasn’t seen enough, which is why he mistakenly believes that the power of civilian mecha is enough to match others.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Jade: As the granddaughter of General Huaiyan and the esteemed disciple of General Jing Yuan, your Strength is naturally beyond what a few civilian mecha can compare to.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Scott: Yes, yes, yes, La Signora Jade is right. I’m just ignorant and tend to speak without thinking. I hope you’ll forgive me.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Stelle: Recover yourself, I still Hope for your arrogant appearance just now.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Yunli: Humph, it seems The Corporation still has people who understand Reason.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Jing Yuan: Haha, La Signora Jade, you’re too kind. This is just a quarrel between two juniors, merely a trivial matter.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Huaiyan: Jing Yuan is right, verbal disputes are insignificant.】
In the scene.
March 7th became anxious and took two steps forward, “This young lady won’t allow you to slander Xianzhou Swordsmanship like that! If you have the Ability, let your mecha exchange a few moves with me!”
“Ha—?! She said she wants to exchange a few moves? Hahahaha.” Scott laughed for a while before calming down, smiling broadly, “Since Miss March 7th has issued a challenge, I must accept!
“Maybe your mouth is harder than your sword before the fight, but once you experience the power of the mecha, you’ll be eager to take out your money for The Corporation.”
Seeing the enthusiastic March 7th, Stelle felt that they should give their Good Friend some more motivation.
So, they looked at Scott and said, “The old Rules, we’re going to bet.”
“Don’t worry, how could I forget about betting?”
Hearing Stelle’s words, Scott seemed to suddenly recall some bad memories, and became quite agitated, his voice cracking from shouting.
“I heard that Miss March 7th hasn’t learned from a Master yet, so I won’t bully you.
“Go back and learn Swordsmanship from your Master, learn anything you want. In fifteen days, I’ll pay a visit and sincerely invite Miss March 7th to spar with my company’s mecha.”
【Honkai: Star Rail-Stelle: How did he know? He’s got good Information…】
“Only fifteen days?” March 7th was a little Guilty, but she still forced herself to remain calm, “Okay… okay!”
Seeing March 7th agree, Scott then brought up the terms of the bet.
“If you lose, not only will you have to bark like a dog in public, but you’ll also have to loudly say ‘Xianzhou Swordsmanship is so bad, even a dog wouldn’t learn it’, and stand at the entrance of Goldengate Alley, telling every passerby.”
【Honkai: Star Rail-Qingque: Goldengate Alley? Isn’t that place almost abandoned?】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Guinaifen: Yeah. If we’re going to choose a punishment that makes someone lose face, shouldn’t we choose a more lively place?】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Guinaifen: Could it be that he’s leaving a way out, so they can meet again in the future?】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Qingque: Judging from his agitated appearance earlier, it doesn’t seem like it… Could it be that Goldengate Alley in the Future will undergo some Change? Becoming more lively?】
“Oh, right, don’t bother finding a Master, just come and be my disciple! I’ll Teach you how to pilot a mecha!”
“Then… what if I Won?” March 7th asked back.
Scott thought for a moment, “I’ll worship you as my Master in public?”
“I don’t want to, I dislike you.” March 7th’s face fell instantly, revealing a disgusted expression.
Scott didn’t mind, thought for a while, and suggested, “…How about this, I’ll also bark like a dog… oink like a pig in public, and loudly say ‘The Corporation mecha are only for pigs’, and then print this sentence on every mecha on the Transport Ship, how’s that?”
“Is changing ‘dog’ to ‘pig’ the new Plot?” Stelle shook their head and complained.
【Honkai: Star Rail-March 7th: Wow, Stelle’s words are so informative! Could it be that Scott barked like a dog before?】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Scott: Impossible! Absolutely impossible!】
March 7th added, “It’s not enough for you to just oink like a pig! You must also apologize to the Little Boss Lady of Nevernight Marquis, and you must also apologize to Xianzhou Swordsmanship!”
“That’s all no Problem, but only if you can really win with that little piece of iron.” Scott agreed directly.
After all, since he had staked his own dignity and his development in The Corporation, he naturally didn’t care about these extra, insignificant apologies.
He cleared his throat twice and looked at the surrounding crowd of onlookers, and said loudly, “Everyone heard that, we’ll see you in fifteen days! Hahahaha, let’s go!”
【Honkai: Star Rail-Yanqing: The Xianzhou and The Corporation have signed the Mutual Trade Agreement. These people wouldn’t dare to act rashly. A verbal conflict is probably the limit for that Specialist Scott.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Yanqing: This bet was unexpected…】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Yunli: Isn’t this obvious? The Corporation’s people didn’t dare to respond to us because they wanted to find someone easy to bully, so they could sell their scrap metal.】
【Honkai: Star Rail-Yunli: So boring.】
