I'm playing Honkai Impact 3

Page 269

The voice that came from his mind made Bai hope happy.

[My parallel world self, you're back! Here's the thing...]

Bai hope briefly explained the situation to Xi'er.

I know how to play this game.

Xi'er breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:

"Seele will study hard."

The little duck was secretly delighted upon hearing this.

Being able to play with Seele is so nice!

"Ok."

Seeing that both of them agreed, and considering that Qingque had described the Imperial Jade Tablet in such an interesting way, the already fun-loving March 7th had already been piqued.

"but……"

On March 7th, as she looked around the room again at the sex toys and various other items, she felt a surge of excitement, her fair face flushed, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

"Can't we go somewhere else to play? Why do we have to do it in a place like this?"

Rather, if it were somewhere else, Qiong and Qingque wouldn't even need to invite them; just mentioning March 7th would have been enough for them to come and have fun.

“Ah Qi, that’s not right of you. Although we have plenty of pocket money now, wasting it is a shameful thing to do.”

Qiong Zhenzhen spoke with conviction.

"That's right, the rooms are already booked, so of course we'll use them! It's so quiet here, much better than teahouses or mahjong parlors, isn't it?"

Xing patiently and skillfully guided him.

March 7th stroked his chin, carefully observing the expressions of the two people, his eyes narrowing into a curved slit, revealing a glint of wisdom.

She felt that these two guys simply wanted to play around in this kind of room!

"Actually, I also feel that it's not quite appropriate to play here."

Qingque raised her hand to indicate that she was standing on March 7th.

The room, furnished with various props and scenes, and bathed in soft pink lighting, made her feel somewhat awkward and reserved.

No! You're wrong!

The sky was cleaved, the road severed.

"The Imperial Jade Palace is a sport that requires complete dedication. When you're focused, who cares about the external environment? Ah Qi, when you're watching a show with your headphones on, do you care whether you're in a coffee shop or on a star raft?"

Qiong's brow twitched slightly as he met the gazes of March 7th and Qingque, who both revealed intelligent eyes.

"This means you're thinking bad things!"

Qiong snapped her fingers, jumped up from the octopus chair, bent forward and leaned close to March 7, her eyes gleaming as if she were performing facial recognition.

"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!"

March 7th's face flushed red, and she pushed Qiong's face away with her hand: "I'll play here, I'll play here!"

Qiong stared at Qingque again.

"Ok."

Qingque shrugged. With her lazy and indifferent personality, although she cared a little, she didn't care as much as March 7th.

"However, I've noticed that at most four people play the Imperial Jade Cards in teahouses, maybe three occasionally. How can we, with six people here, possibly play?"

On March 7th, he counted the people in the room on his fingers.

Well...

Qiong picked up the six Imperial Jade Coins from the chessboard and said as she laid them out:

“Aqi, Seele, and Xing are all newbies, and Bronya is also a newbie, so we will definitely need to take care of you.”

"To be fair, you two can pair up and discuss and strategize your moves. Qingque and I, as experienced players, will just play normally. How does that sound?"

"I agree."

Xing was the first to raise her hand temporarily.

“Seele is fine too.”

Seele regained control of her body and spoke.

Since Seele agreed, Little Duck naturally agreed as well, and March 7th thought it was also acceptable.

"Let's draw lots to decide the groups then."

Qiong took out two 1s of coins and two 1s of chicken, and randomly swapped their positions on the table.

"I'll go first."

Xing was the first to jump out and reveal the card.

Although Little Duck really wanted to be in a group with Seele and help her fly, drawing lots would be fairer.

The draw results disappointed Little Duck; she was paired with March 7th, and Star and Seele were paired with each other.

After being divided into groups, we prepared to take our seats.

"These chairs... they're so strange!"

March 7th frowned as he looked at the four unusual chairs next to the chessboard.

The seat has a warm, transparent glass-like texture, and there's a circular recess in front, which looks like a place to install something. There are also wires and mechanical structures on the backrest.

Qiong glanced at the transparent toys in the cabinet, then pressed March 7 down into a chair:

"do not mind the details."

Qingque and Qiong began to teach the group the rules of the Imperial Jade Tokens.

The rapid popularity of Mahjong, especially the Imperial Jade Mahjong set, is largely due to its ease of learning; the basic rules are simple and clear.

"The Imperial Jade Palace tests a person's calculation skills and their courage. High-stakes hands have high odds because they are difficult to execute and risky, so when encountering..."

Qingque was very enthusiastic about the newcomers and even shared some experience and skills with them.

Qiong and Qingque led the group through a round of practice. Apart from Bai hope, Xing, San Yueqi, and Xiao Yaya all quickly got the hang of it.

Bai hope felt that with Sister Xing and her other self around, there would definitely be no problem.

"Eat, touch, kong... Great, I've learned them all. Let's begin!"

Xing stood with his hands on his hips, grinning smugly, his posture a bit exaggerated, radiating an aura of 'I am invincible!'

"Get started!"

After a couple of rounds, March 7th's interest was piqued, and he couldn't wait to team up with Bronya and go on a killing spree!

"Before we begin, there is one last thing we need to confirm."

Qiong tapped a jade tablet on the table.

"what is the matter?"

The girls looked up upon hearing this.

"Of course it's a prize! What card game doesn't have a prize?"

Qiong laughed.

"To be honest, that's true."

Qingque nodded in agreement.

Even she felt that simply playing the game of winning or losing lacked fun; having a prize could better ignite each other's fighting spirit, and that kind of exhilarating 'battle' was the real Imperial Jade Card!

"Shall we bet on something?"

The little duckling sat down beside Xing with its legs crossed.

"According to our usual practice, we can use snacks, red envelopes, etc. as stakes."

Qingque rubbed her hands together.

Hero Qingque is itching to play cards!

"We don't have any snacks right now, how about we send some red envelopes?"

"Sending red envelopes is no fun. If we're going to play, let's play something exciting, a bet that can unleash everyone's potential."

Qiong revealed a sunny and cheerful boyish smile.

"Ok?"

These words made the girls exchange bewildered glances, looking at Qiong with curiosity. A glint of light flashed in Xing's eyes. "Tell me, whatever the bet is, our Xingya Group will play along to the end today!"

Little Duck: "..."

"That's an advanced gameplay feature from the Imperial Jade Tablet that can train human willpower!"

Qiong tossed the back of his trench coat, exuding the aura of a gambling god. He ran his hand through his gray hair, slicking it back as if he had applied hair gel.

"Its name is—The Stripped Imperial Jade!"

Chapter 260 Sa, Game, Hajimeyo!

"Take off, take off your clothes, Imperial Jade!"

The girls gasped in unison, their expressions a mixture of shock, bewilderment, blankness, and embarrassment...

"Wh-what, what about the stripped-down Imperial Jade?"

When asked about it on March 7th, she hugged her chest and shrank back, as if she had a bad feeling.

"It's easy to understand. As the name suggests, the loser has to take off a fixed number of pieces of clothing according to the rules."

Qiong's expression was solemn, as if he were explaining the rules of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

"Alas!!!"

"Take off your clothes!"

"Do we really have to go this far?"

Although even a naive girl like Nezha could sense something was off about the name "Taking Off the Clothes Emperor Yuan Qiongyu," the girls' expressions changed to varying degrees after Qiong explained the game and clarified the rules.

On March 7th, her pretty face flushed red in an instant.

Bai hope's face was as red as a ripe apple, round and soft, her eyes darting around like a frightened fawn, unsure of what to do.

Even the lazy and carefree Qingque changed her expression.

Xing's fair and delicate hands clenched tightly, her breathing rapid. Unlike other girls, her face flushed with excitement.

Well done, Qiongzai!

The only one who could remain calm was the little duck.

Her sense of shame was gradually raised by Silverwing and Sky's actions in bed; they did everything they shouldn't have done.

She had long since stopped caring about Qiong looking at her body, especially since it was Yin Yi's body.

but……

Little Duck's eyebrows twitched twice, and his eyes sharpened slightly. Could Qiong's target be Xi'er?

"Da me! Da me da me! This won't do, let's find a different prize."

With his pink hair flying, he looked dashing. On March 7th, his face flushed, he shook his head like a rattle drum, frantically waving his hands in refusal, almost leaving afterimages in his wake.

"I support it, let's play the striptease game, Imperial Jade Palace!"

Xing lay on the heart-shaped bed, raising her arms and legs to the sky in agreement. She tilted her head to look at March, her voice magnetic and resolute.

"Don't worry, Ah Qi, I will protect you until the very end!"

"On behalf of Bronya, I thank you for being such a great teammate."
