Before that dopey system awakened, Li Zihan had his own plan.

After confirming that the Einzbern family had summoned Angra Mainyu under the Avenger class during the Third Holy Grail War, he contacted Emiya Kiritsugu.

Then, right in front of him, he signed a Self-Geis Scroll, which was theoretically impossible to violate, to prove that he wasn’t lying. He then informed Emiya Kiritsugu of a piece of very bad news.

“The Fuyuki Holy Grail has already been corrupted by the Avenger from the Third Holy Grail War. It has lost its function as a wish-granting machine.”

Li Zihan then very frankly explained a plan of his.

“I have a way to reconstruct a Holy Grail that doesn’t require sacrificing your wife or daughter as the Lesser Grail. Would you be willing to help me?”

It was a very scummy plan.

According to the plan, Emiya Kiritsugu would need to summon Saber, King Arthur. Li Zihan himself would summon Lancer, Karna, and bring a companion who would summon a Caster (Medea) capable of seeing through the Grail’s structure at a glance.

Afterward, Emiya Kiritsugu and Li Zihan would join forces to kill the supervisor from the Holy Church, seize their Command Spells, strengthen their Servants to the limit, and then team up to kill the strongest enemy Servant.

After confirming that the remaining Servants were not strong enough to harm them, Li Zihan would guide Emiya Kiritsugu to use a Command Spell to compel Saber to transfer the Heart of the Red Dragon to him, allowing him to obtain the power of a Dragon Kind.

The will of the Ahoge King, a top-tier Heroic Spirit, was very strong, and it was highly likely she would attempt to revive using the Heart of the Red Dragon.

Therefore, after transplanting the dragon’s heart, Li Zihan would request that Lancer Karna grant him his Spirit Origin, helping him become a Pseudo-Servant.

The heroic stature and will of the Hero of Charity were definitely superior to that of the wavering Ahoge King. Suppressing Saber’s will, which might try to revive through the dragon’s heart, would be no difficult task for him.

At that point, Li Zihan would simultaneously obtain the powers of the Red Dragon of Britain and the Son of the Sun God. The combination of these two powers would allow him to easily become a top-tier combatant in this world.

Afterward, Li Zihan would directly dismantle the Holy Grail, forcibly ending the Black Holy Grail War of Fuyuki—a war useless at everything except causing trouble—and provide assistance for the Emiya family to escape from the Einzberns.

Then, using the excuse of “helping you return to your homeland,” he would persuade Medea to form a contract with him, find a place to lie low, and forge a wish-granting Holy Grail that didn’t involve the Third Magic.

This was Li Zihan’s original comeback plan.

However, just as Li Zihan’s abacus was clattering away with his meticulous calculations, a certain dopey system suddenly appeared, inexplicably took his dream-talk seriously, and kicked him into the Honkai world.

And then, relying on information advantages and the element of surprise from his magecraft, he single-handedly defeated a whole bunch of guys much stronger than him and harvested a pile of loot.

Stigmata Dracula, the Key of Erosion Jizo Mitama, Stigmata Yae Sakura, the Key of Binding Oath of Judah, the Gem of Conquest, and the Gem of Serenity…

Honestly, the thing he should be doing right now is trying to learn about Honkai knowledge and digest the gains from the Honkai world, not fighting in the Black Grail War out of sheer boredom.

Besides, Seele has feelings for him, right?

The youth, who had always been sensitive to the emotional changes of others, glanced at the soft, gentle girl in the maid outfit beside him, thinking.

Just as Aozaki Touko and Aozaki Aoko had no resistance to the Li Zihan of a few years ago and caved completely on the spot.

After seeing Seele, Li Zihan also caved.

She was super cute, with a figure as if she had absorbed all the nutrients from Cocolia’s orphanage. Her personality was soft but not fragile, she was more than willing to do housework, and she was definitely a homebody…

With the time it would take to fight in the Black Grail War, why not take advantage of Banya’s absence and quickly raise her affection level?

After maxing it out, he could return to the Honkai world, dig up Cocolia, have her help arrange the engagement, and in a couple of years, he could ask Banya to be the bridesmaid or the master of ceremonies.

Li Zihan’s mood improved considerably.

“Alright, let’s not talk about the Holy Grail War for now.”

The youth, feeling his blood race just thinking about certain future scenes, smiled. He then turned to Aozaki Touko and asked.

He had promised Higokumaru he would get real bodies for her and Yae Sakura. In this world, the person most skilled at creating bodies was undoubtedly the Grand Puppeteer, Aozaki Touko.

“You still remember what I told you before, right?” the youth said, recalling his recent trip to the Stigmata Space where he had asked for detailed physical data, only to be accused of being a pervert by Ling and getting nothing, almost earning a slap in the face.

“Mhm, you mean those two puppets that seem rather… distasteful?”

Aozaki Touko reached for her nose bridge, took off her glasses, and her tone instantly turned cold.

This change left Seele, who was watching from the side, completely stunned.

She simply couldn’t understand why this auntie, who had been talking so warmly with her big brother just a moment ago, would suddenly become so cold and harsh.

Li Zihan, however, was quite used to Aozaki Touko’s change.

Aozaki Touko was an artificial dual-personality. She could switch personas by putting on or taking off her glasses to deal with different situations.

With glasses on, she was subjective and humane, with a gentle tone. With glasses off, she was objective and harsh.

When discussing business, Aozaki Touko clearly chose to release her cold, objective, impersonal, and extremely harsh side.

She was so broke she was about to start eating dirt.

If she let personal feelings get into business, she’d be laughing all the way to her “gg.”

“As for the price, I can pay one hundred and twenty percent of the market price.”

The moment Aozaki Touko took off her glasses, Li Zihan realized she had once again, again, fallen into a financial crisis, and he directly offered a very generous payment.

“Then, what about the specific data?”

Having only heard a general description and not received any concrete data, Aozaki Touko silently pushed her glasses back onto her nose bridge, her tone becoming gentle again.

She just loved generous customers like this.

Of course, if they could take things a step further, that would be even better.

“Later, I’ll have them talk to you in person.”

The youth, who had failed to get the specific data, grasped the Jizo Mitama at his waist and said.

The consciousnesses of Yae Sakura and Ling were both in the Stigmata Space. He just needed to use Jizo Mitama to project them out again.

“Mhm, I understand.”

Aozaki Touko, who was probably going to be busy for a while, nodded.

Now, what should I do next?

Li Zihan, who was in no hurry to go to another world to mess with Holy Grails or Spiritron Dive devices, thought to himself.

“By the way, Ah Han, there’s something I don’t know if I should tell you or not.”

Just as Li Zihan was pondering where to take Seele to have fun next, Aozaki Touko’s voice sounded again.

“What is it?”

Li Zihan raised an eyebrow and asked.

“Alice and my foolish little sister will also be participating in this Holy Grail War.”
