Rita, with a gloomy face, was speechless.
Indeed, from the perspective of being a face lover, Rita Rossweisse is not a particularly loyal person.
So, if I could have the opportunity to be alone with two people I really like at the same time... or even have an intimate relationship with them...
From a certain perspective, maybe... the one who slept with both the store manager and Lady Yulandel at the same time is the winner in life? Only she who can't even catch up with the dowry girl is the loser, right! ?
The long-haired "Lost Rosemary" successfully slept with the person she liked.
This "me" from three years later even went a step further and was with two people she liked.
Therefore, even in the group of "Rita Rossweisse", she was the only one who lost Lady Yulandel of her own world. Not to mention, Lady Yulandel of her own world was also given to her by "herself" from another world, and by a store manager who could travel through different worlds...
"..."
The moment she realized that she was the only designated loser, a strong feeling of powerlessness came over her in the blink of an eye. Rita, with a gloomy face, felt her legs go limp and she almost collapsed to the ground on the spot.
Mei Raiden looked at Rita, who was full of doubts about life, with pity. Suddenly, she tilted her head, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
For some reason, looking at Rita's powerless posture, Raiden Mei had an inexplicable feeling as if she was looking at a very bad mirror.
Chapter 4 Dayu Duchen and Xiaoyu Duchen (k)
Fairy boat Luofu, star chariot sea.
In the executive suite of Yichen Inn, Walter Yang was leisurely drinking the fat-house happy water that was a specialty of the earth, and the fixed jade sign on the table showed a video call window.
"You're planning on getting back on the train tomorrow, aren't you?"
In the video call window, the navigator Ji Zi, dressed in a pure white dress, sat elegantly in a mahogany sofa chair, holding a cup of coffee-colored liquid that was so viscous that it was almost solid.
Walter Yang put the glass on the jade table and nodded: "Well, the problems on the Xianzhou Luofu side have basically been dealt with. If there is nothing else next, we will rest here for a night and come back."
Ji Zi smiled and said, "It's okay to hang out in Luofu more. It's not easy to go out. Let's have some fun with those kids in other worlds. The family's Harmonious Music Ceremony will not start for at least three system months. The pioneering journey should be easy and enjoyable. The Starry Sky Train will be looked after by me and the conductor."
Walter Yang pondered for a moment: "...That's right, then I'll trouble you to stay on the Starry Sky Train for a while longer. We will stay here for a while and then go back to meet you."
For Walter Yang, this pioneering journey was undoubtedly relaxing and enjoyable. Xianzhou Luofu treated them as honored guests, with luxurious high-star inns, comfortable beds and sofas, and fruit platters provided by the inn, all of which were paid for by Xianzhou Luofu. He even encountered the strange coffee shop that opened here inexplicably, and a "wife" from a different timeline ran out of it.
...Although the process of reuniting with his "wife" was somewhat sweaty, for an unknown traveler like him who followed the Star Train's footsteps and explored the galaxy, the opportunity to reunite with his family was invaluable.
Of course, it would be great if the atmosphere of the reunion could be a little warmer and my "wife" could be a little gentler.
Walter Yang sighed quietly in his heart.
"Do we really need to be so polite to each other?" Ji Zi smiled carefreely. She raised her coffee cup and clinked it with Walter Yang on the video call from a distance. Then she gently took a sip of the edge of the coffee cup. A hint of interest flashed in her elegant and majestic golden eyes. "Compared to Xianzhou Luofu, I'm more curious about what kind of place the coffee shop you went to once on Yalilo 6 is. Being able to appear in two different worlds at the same time across a long distance in this galaxy... even people from the past will appear. It's really exciting."
"But from what you said, it seems that only 'destined people' who meet certain conditions can patronize that cafe? I wonder if I can meet the requirements of being a customer of that shop."
Hearing Ji Zi's words mixed with a little hesitation, Walter Yang was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "It should be... no problem, right? Although the cafe seems to have not announced clear standards for becoming a customer, but from my observation, at least... as long as the store manager knows someone, the cafe will rarely refuse his patronage."
"Did Danheng and Xiao Sanyue know the store manager before they arrived at Yalilo No. 6?"
"From the way they get along, I think it's more likely that the store manager knew Xing before." Walter Yang took a sip of happy water and let the bubbles surge in his throat. "That store manager seems a bit like Kafka. They both regard Xing as someone they can trust, and they have also invested a lot of effort in Xing. When we were at Yalilo No. 6, we all saw the child split the snow with a blazing fire. That power that is close to 'destruction' was given to Xing unconditionally by the store manager of that coffee shop when he met her."
Ji Zi shook her head with a dumb smile: "Interesting, are you raising Xing as your daughter?"
"Rather, it's Xing who wants to recognize the store manager as his godfather." Walter Yang recalled the conversation between Xing and the store manager, with a strange look in his eyes. "The two of them always seem to talk about topics that are difficult for others to understand, such as star-level weapons, special weapons and special tickets, and upgrades and star increases... It sounds like the store manager and Xing always treat the world as a huge game when they are with each other. It's really hard to understand the thoughts of young people."
"But don't you understand everything?" Ji Zi joked.
"Ahem, he's a former game producer after all, so he knows a few jargons in the industry." Walter Yang coughed lightly, but he didn't really take the strange conversation between the two to heart... After all, leaving aside the store manager, words like "氪金", "星琼" and "648", they had actually heard them more than once in conversations between Xing and others.
However, compared to those times, only when talking with the store manager did Xing and the person she was talking to have completely matched each other's emotions in a true sense.
As a senior in the train crew, Walter Yang was genuinely happy for his juniors that Xing had found a partner who shared the same language with him and was willing to give selfless help.
anyway……
At the same moment when Walter Yang was happy for Xing, in a luxurious suite, Xing, wearing silk pajamas, looked around the empty corridor at the door of her room with a furtive look. After confirming that both Dan Heng and March 7 had returned to their rooms and stayed there well, she tiptoed and clicked the door to lock it.
She turned off the light in the bedroom, crawled into bed and lay down straight, then took a long breath and closed her eyes.
The restrained light enveloped Xing's pajamas-clad body in an instant.
——At the same time.
In a bedroom on the second floor of Hyperion Cafe, a figure lifted up his quilt with a swish.
In the deep darkness, Xing raised his hands, felt his body, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Yu Duchen's power can be said to have completely surpassed Xing's imagination. Compared to the simple yet powerful power of the Black Abyss White Flower and the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement, the power of this consciousness is not only powerful, but also quite complex.
Clone; instant switching and binding of consciousness; exploration and control of memory; hallucination; even the ability to interfere with the real world in material form... and other powers that have not yet been fully explored by her. In a sense, this is also the first weapon that Xing has obtained from the store manager that she has not been able to fully control.
However, this is probably because Xing originally had little knowledge of consciousness abilities.
The moment she obtained Yu Duchen, the ancient and majestic black lotus gave Xing the ability to separate her consciousness from her body in a semi-material form. So from that moment on, the body that Kafka and Silver Wolf specially made for her was no longer important. She could separate her consciousness from her body at any time, just like Fu Hua who possessed Kiana.
At the same time, Xing can also use Yu Duchen to create countless "feathers" that carry part of his own will and memory. The consciousness power possessed by Yu Duchen, which is similar to the black lotus, is not an imitation possessed by those half-baked Herrschers. In a sense, the Yu Duchen possessed by Xing can almost be regarded as a part of "the end", both in terms of power freedom and scale, it is far superior to the "Herrscher" who is limited to the planetary scale.
For example, right now, although her body was still lying in the Yichen Inn intact, after using Yu Duchen's power, her original consciousness was seamlessly switched to the "clone" that she and the manager had left in the coffee shop after they had done that thing.
At this moment, Xing returned to the coffee shop in an instant while switching her consciousness. She was wearing an ancient-style robe with red and white as the main colors. She exuded a fairy-like glow from her whole body. Her body was translucent, and a lotus shape could be vaguely seen on her chest.
She thought about it, and suddenly flew into the air. The quilt that was originally draped over her suddenly fell down and passed through her transparent body without any hindrance... or consciousness. A hint of obvious excitement flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, her eyes turned, and she flew towards the door stealthily, with some mischievous joy on her face.
As a result, as soon as his head popped out of the door, Xing's expression suddenly froze.
A body that was completely translucent like hers was sitting cross-legged in mid-air in an ancient posture, with its eyes closed.
Perhaps sensing Xing's presence, the moment her head just popped out of the door, the figure floating in the air slowly opened his eyes, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.
"It's just as the store manager said. As expected, after you found the opportunity, you couldn't wait to use Yu Duchen's zeroth rated power to come back here."
The translucent figure floating in the air spoke slowly, and the tone of his voice was transcendent.
"Uh……"
A big drop of sweat seeped out from Xing's forehead.
Although the power possessed by the other party was not strong in her opinion, and the power of that consciousness was difficult to compare with hers, but for some reason, even in this state, Xing still felt an indescribable sense of oppression from this "strong" consciousness.
She was silent for a long time, then smiled awkwardly: "Look, can I leave..."
"..." The consciousness floating in the air stared at Xing's sweaty face and shook his head, "Kiana and I owe a lot to the manager of this cafe, so, I'm sorry, I can't refuse his request."
The consciousness waved its hand, and a powerful suction force pulled Xing's translucent body over with an extremely brutal force without any resistance.
Xing only felt a flash before her eyes, and when she came to her senses, the surrounding scene had changed from the corridor on the second floor of the coffee shop to a deep mountain forest with birds singing and flowers blooming.
"Due to certain past experiences, I will no longer accept any disciples."
The ethereal and ethereal voice echoed from all directions in the empty mountains and forests.
"So, how much you can understand depends entirely on your personal understanding."
"..."
Xing looked around, then looked at his hands that had completely turned into solid objects, and sighed with a sense of despair.
"Okay, okay, so what do I do next?"
"Live."
"what?"
Xing was stunned for a moment, and then her body suddenly stiffened.
The shadow gradually expanded under her feet.
"Gu..."
She swallowed, raised her head tremblingly, and a look of fear suddenly appeared on her stern face.
The ancient giant sword that covered the sky, with a blazing flame, made Xing's face, which was filled with fear, turn pale.
No...
Something that big...will break!!! It will definitely break!!!
………A few minutes later.
With the sound of the door opening, Kiana walked out of Brownie's bedroom with a pale face.
0:321, didn't win a single match, was totally defeated, and was beaten bloody from the beginning to the end.
Damn it, is Bronya my nemesis?! Just when Kiana was filled with frustration, the scene she saw suddenly made her stunned.
"Squad leader?" She patted her chest subconsciously, her face full of surprise, "When did you come out?"
"When you were playing games with Brownie." Fu Hua said expressionlessly while floating in the air.
"Uh..." Looking at Fu Hua's expressionless face, Kiana couldn't help feeling guilty, "Class monitor, are you angry?"
I've only been in this cafe for less than two days and I've become so lax. I really should reflect on this, Kiana thought to herself in her heart.
"Why do you think so?" But at this moment, Fu Hua showed a hint of surprise, but she quickly reacted, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry, it's just that most of my consciousness is not here, so my expression looks a little indifferent."
"Huh?" Kiana was stunned. "Most of the consciousness is not left here? What do you mean?"
"Literally, most of my consciousness is devoted to training the girl named Xing who has a close relationship with the store manager in the use of Yuduchen."
“…Didn’t she leave with Mr. Walter and the others?” Kiana’s face was full of confusion, and her head suddenly felt heavy.
For some reason, when she heard that Fu Hua was giving special treatment to others, Kiana suddenly felt as if something that originally belonged to her was suddenly taken away.
Chapter 4: The Unrequited Retirement Life (k)
"To some extent, the holder of Yu Du Chen can transcend the barriers of space and appear in two different places at the same time."
As a well-known blockhead, Fu Hua obviously did not notice Kiana's sudden change of mood, and just explained in a calm tone.
"And this girl named Xing has a powerful force that can cross the barriers of space. Adding the two together, it is not surprising that she would use Yu Duchen to leave a clone in this cafe and appear here freely."
In fact, she didn't know why she suddenly had such a frustrating thought. Logically speaking, although Fu Hua was her companion, she was also her teacher to some extent, but these two relationships, no matter how you look at it, should have nothing to do with the aggrieved feeling she had before when Mei was suddenly taken away.
To this day, Kiana no longer plays tricks on Mei like she did when she was a child, but she has to admit that subconsciously, Raiden Mei is still the woman who is completely in her strike zone.
But what about the squad leader?
Why did she feel so uncomfortable when she heard the monitor giving others special treatment?
Am I such a philandering woman by nature?
Kiana shook her head, forcing the inexplicable feeling of frustration out of her mind. At the same time, she coughed and snorted in a calm manner, forcing her attention to what Fu Hua said:
"She can cross the barrier of space. Could it be that she can also use the power of space?"
"No, that power is different from your power of the void. Didn't you listen carefully when Mr. Walter introduced the situation over there? She is a pioneer who can draw on the power called 'pioneering' in the destiny. In the galaxy where Mr. Walter and his team are, it is this pioneering power that has broken through the barriers between different galaxies, allowing the civilizations of various planets to communicate with each other, forming the open situation of the galaxy today." Fu Hua shook her head, "Simply in terms of the specifications of power, whether it is this 'star' or Mr. Walter who has embarked on the destiny, they have surpassed our cognition to some extent. Even if she does not have the power of a Herrscher like you, she can draw power beyond the Herrscher from the 'destiny'.
"But isn't this person still completely trapped in the monitor's illusion?"
"That's only because the kid just got Yu Duchen not long ago." Fu Hua said, "The God's Key held by the store manager is very different from the God's Keys made by Wei Erwei. Although they can both use a single 'power' and even their material structures are very similar, from the perspective of 'activity', compared to those God's Keys that can only absorb limited Honkai energy from the environment and the user, and whose maximum output is limited to the 'zeroth rated power', the God's Keys made by the store manager can not only freely draw power from the imaginary space, destiny, and even the 'star core' held by the kid Xing, but their maximum output has also far exceeded all known 'zeroth rated power'."
"According to the store manager, the God Keys he holds seem to have used a technology called 'Super-Limit Modification'. To be honest, the term 'Super-Limit Modification' itself is not a very unfamiliar term to us pioneers. After all, many mass-produced standard weapons in our era have lost the material basis for renewal due to the scarcity of manpower and various resources. In order to allow those weapons and equipment that have gradually become useless in the face of the increasingly powerful Honkai to be put into the battlefield again, we can only perform super-limit modifications on the existing weapons."
The speed of technological change is very fast, especially in the context of the explosion of scientific research. It is common for the technology of the previous year to be several generations behind the new technology of the next year. In this case, the technology relied on by the old models of weapons is mostly very old and has lost its value for transformation. Therefore, in most cases, compared with further transformation of existing weapons, directly designing new weapons and equipment is a more widespread iterative method.
The widespread use of ultra-limit transformation is a compromise made in the face of resource scarcity. However, it is very obvious that the "extra-limit transformation" used by the store manager and the "extra-limit transformation" that Fu Hua knows are fundamentally not the same thing.
"At least as far as I know, the civilization we live in does not have the technical ability to carry out super-limit transformation of weapons like the Key of God." Suddenly, Fu Hua turned his gaze towards Kiana's face and changed the subject, "How is the Herrscher consciousness in your body now? Will Xilin... try to compete with you for the body again?"
Kiana hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "No, during the day... my body was suddenly attacked by the Void... No, it was suddenly attacked by the Herrscher Core, and then Sirin completely lost her voice."
"..." Fu Hua was silent for a moment, "Do you want to continue to come to my illusion and try to control the power of the Ruler of the Void?"
"It just so happens that this child has reached her limit now. Before she recovers, I can spare some time to help you look after her."
"..."
Why does this sound so much like it's said to the spare tire?
My boyfriend left, will you come and pick me up?
Kiana looked conflicted, but finally nodded and accepted Fu Hua's proposal.
The Herrscher of the Void was her problem after all. Although this dependent status was difficult to change, Kiana still hoped to rely on her own strength as much as possible to overcome the difficulties if possible.
She didn't want to be in a situation where she had to rely on the store manager for everything.
Thus, a night passed quietly.
In the early morning, simulated sunlight shone into the Yichen Inn in Xianzhou Luofu. After getting ready, Sanyueqi stretched out his body in the comfortable sunlight and knocked on the door of the bedroom opposite.
