The Main Quests provided by the System were fair in their own way, giving the Hosts ample ti to finish them. It was simple logic. If the Individual thought he had a glimr of hope in accomplishing such a quest—then the pleasure derived from watching said person's expectation be dashed away, followed by the expression despair and then to be decapitated when the tir runs out was thrilling!
The Panda—Bao understood it perfectly.
Had even seen it happen a couple tis, which was why it was annoying to see the CEO finishing his Main Quests in less than twenty-four hours! The man was once again rewarded by an 'Interlude' period of the remaining days and hours ant for accomplishing the Main Quest.
This wasn't going the way it was supposed to go!
However, it was new and incited so interest for the Observers, and so it continued on. This strange situation in its hands was playing out.
"Hey there again, kid, how are you doing?" the CEO's brother greeted Chunhua with a smile.
Li Yang watched the young girl give a small wave while holding onto a toy she got from the fast-food chain that Taiga had insisted on earlier. The CEO gave his brother a look and took off his shoes.. "Feel free to call him Uncle Liang, I suppose. Chunhua will stay here until her mother recovers."
"Wait, what? What happened to—"
"We'll discuss it later," he said. "But if I could bother you and Madam Gabrielle to pick out so clothes for Chunhua? She doesn't have any luggage on her." He could have bothered Ying Yue He for it, but it was a Sunday. He had already trespassed on her life by a good amount.
"Sure, sure—you'll be taking a nap?"
"Sothing like that."
Chunhua gave him a look, "You'll be going again, Uncle Yang?"
Her words made his brother look at him questioningly, but he shook his head. "No, but..." How would he exactly relate to a child? He had more faith that his brother's girlfriend could pick out clothes for the girl... "Alright, I need you to help out with sothing later. But get along with your Uncle Liang until then, Chunhua?"
"You need Chunhua's help?" Her eyes sparkled at this ti. "Okay then, Uncle Yang! I'll see you later."

Chunhua's mother was at the hospital, Taiga was once again hanging around the trees as a scout, he dropped off Bai Minghua at her concert place and Ying Yue He was at the hotel or went ho. Li Yang finally sat down in his private office at ho and glanced at the screen in front of him containing all the items from the Harem mber Gift Set.
But right before he could call Bai Minghua, she beat him to it.
"Hello—"
The sound of her rattled voice was what struck him first and then her going on about the curse, and everything about the harem… Li Yang cleared his throat. "Miss H—Bai Minghua, please calm down and repeat everything that happened to you."
So accusations were thrown into the air—
"I told you about my situation… but, no, I failed to think that sothing like that would happen. Albeit, it's in relation to what I told you about a chance to beco stronger. Are you familiar with the idea of video gas? What about comics…? I'm sure you've at least read sothing close to that, haven't you?"
Li Yang eyed the visible distortion in the air, which disappeared in a flash. The creature, Bao, appeared in front of him with a smug little furry face, and then ignored it. Instead, he focused on the voice of the other person on the other end.
"I think you'll be able to perform with no hindrances. Isn't it natural for perforrs and celebrities to experience so unexpected situations but carry on with it for their fans?"
Her voice ca from the other end, and he sighed.
"Well, the contract at least—I suppose you understand how valuable it is to do what you've promised. I don't think it's that troubleso, you can probably close it if you think about it, Miss Bai."
The sound of the rmaid discovering and making exclamations as she interacted with the 'screen' in front of her, which wasn't blue, but was actually purple for her, ca from the other end of the call. Another muffle sounded and he nodded.
"And yes… you do have a gift set ant for you."
Sohow, she was also aware of it through the System informing her, but the Inventory was with him. He was expected to present it to her like any gift to a 'harem mber' but this was the reason why he wanted to call in the first place.
He cleared his throat and asked, "Is there anything significant with a small pink salmon for your people?"
There was none.
Until she sowhat recalled sothing, briefly. Salmons was not necessarily linked to rfolks but held so significance with—
"Ah, with the Celtics?"
The CEO frowned and could have sworn he the first rmaid storyteller was of Danish descent and so related to Nordics by so chance. Even the possibility of one of the rfolk societies being held there… but Celtics? Li Yang took out his laptop and began to search for any useful information about the salmon.
He placed the phone on loudspeaker mode at last before he asked. "Well, do you wish to do anything with it?"
"What would I even do with salmon?" Bai Minghua huffed from the other end. "You said it's tiny? It's not even good enough to eat if that's the case, and I don't care about what you'll do with it. Isn't there anything else that would have more use for ?"
"There is an LSO Beauty and Facial Set, a type of perfu called Picture-Perfect… one Giant Pearl Storage, which I assu is sothing your people use. There is so talisman, royal jelly to eat—"
"If it weren't for this screen hovering in my face, I wouldn't believe a word you just said."
"Naturally."
"Ah… it'd be too botherso to pick them up, I still have a concert in a couple of hours. Hold them for , I suppose."
