Oh no, I have become a character in the card pool?

Chapter 30: The Origin and Footprints of a Contract Spirit
Unexpectedly, it makes sense.

It was like the dark clouds that had always covered the sky suddenly dissipated.

A pool of light poured down.

Lin Xuan's eyes were only slightly startled, but he quickly grasped this sudden possibility, and his thoughts evolved rapidly in his mind.

It's not like he hadn't speculated on this possibility before.

The most basic origin of summoning a "contracted spirit" is the deeds of that heroic spirit in his previous life.

It's like the title of a book.

Whether it is weapons or authority, they are all written based on the character's past experiences and reproduced in a miraculous form.

So, if, just if.
His time travel was really in the form of a "contracted spirit", and he was summoned to this world by some kind of power.

And that ruin was the last hope of the white-haired girl before she fell into despair.

The button she activated herself served as an opportunity.

If only he could arrive in this era full of devastation and on the verge of war.

——Then, what kind of origin of the spirit he represents?
This is not really a question.

Because, when this hypothesis is put forward, the answer is already evident on the other side.

"The first soul-contractor of mankind", "the lonely beacon of the war era", "the one who drives away the broken time and space", "the dark feather carrying the long night".
And, "Hope".

Lin Xuan knew that it was just a mobile game, just a plot.

Even if it was a game that he personally deployed the strategy for and completed with great difficulty night after night.

But after all, there is a layer of mobile phone screen and text between us.

He was happy about Xingjian Jingli's survival because he truly regarded the girl as a companion.

It is the hope to change this fate after experiencing those routes where the other side sacrificed themselves in order to protect him.

but.

What about himself?

From an ordinary citizen in modern society, at most a strategic player who dominated many rankings, to a game anchor who was admired by a niche group.

Arrived in a truly broken world, inheriting the footprints once left in the game.

He is Lin Xuan.

Even if it is natural for a certain fox.

But only he himself is very clear that he has not yet been able to fully put himself into the role and fully accept himself as the conductor who has experienced nearly half a century.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this subconscious barrier that he, who has always had a sharp mind, overlooked this possibility.

until now.

Until that insignificant "ding" sound was heard, until he once again replicated his experience in "Qiling Poems" and once again personally commanded a battle.

Once again as a commander, he is ready to expel the [Broken Time and Space] that has invaded human civilization.

This moment.

Lin Xuancai clearly realized where the history that laid the foundation for him to become a "Spirit Contract" came from.

Regardless of whether his subjective
But for this world, this ruined land is enough to be a summoning mechanism that is engraved in history.

He, Lin Xuan, is the original spirit envoy.

No one can shake his past achievements.

"What's wrong?"

A light girl's voice sounded nearby, and the witch came closer, her pleated skirt swaying, and her delicate hand gently rested on his shoulder.

Her fingertips lightly touched the boy's arm.

Temperature and softness.

It was as if she was a witch, answering questions for her confused pilgrims and brushing away the dust of their confusion.

For Xingjian Jingli, this level of contact was not in line with her personality, not to mention that she was not very happy just now.

But the black-haired boy was stunned for a moment.

From his handsome profile at that moment and the expression on his face at that instant, Xingjian Jingli saw some changes on his face.

She couldn't say what the change was.

It felt a little strange. After all, she had never seen hesitation on the face of this spirit envoy a hundred years ago.

Even in the face of hundreds of heavy battles, even in the face of waves of entities that are difficult to resist no matter how hard you try, you must hold on to a station that has been cut off from all supplies.

The spirit envoy at that time could handle it with ease as if he was playing a game.

He made some irrelevant jokes casually.

However, the look at that moment made Xingjian Jingli feel somewhat familiar.

It's like a book finally found its title, or like a lost person found his own meaning.

if.

Let someone know what the fox-eared girl is thinking at the moment.

He would definitely laugh and add a metaphor.

"It's like a game player who finally got through the somewhat lengthy opening animation, got the equipment he was supposed to get, and the system prompt popped up."

"So I finally found the main quest for this game."

"Well, I'm fine."

Lin Xuan smiled faintly and turned his head. He put away the gun and put it back into the holster he was carrying.

Then he turned his gaze to look at Xia Shimi.

And this time.

The girl who received the call from Mu Yuqing was communicating for the first time with a commander of this level - a three-star spirit contract envoy, who was a professional instructor even in the academy.

So I can't help feeling a little restrained.

However, in the locations around the report, the report found changes along the way in the core area after the arrival of [Erosion and Collapse].

Objectively report the types of entities that appear, and subjectively provide your own perspective and insights.

The white-haired girl stated in an orderly manner.

Perfectly adheres to professional, concise, powerful and efficient reporting terminology.

Even though these experiences far exceeded the professional scope of a college dropout and a casual spirit contract user.

"Shimi." Lin Xuan walked over with a chuckle, his eyes containing calmness.

He said, "If it's convenient, can I talk to the commander for a while?"

Unlike before, he only wanted to break out of the center with the most "top combat force (Xingjian Jingli)" and implement a decapitation tactic to resolve the broken time and space.

For the time being, I will take a conservative attitude and not contact the alliance. I want to explore this world step by step.
Lin Xuan was just hesitant at first.

But he has made a decision now. The companions he has are indeed the sharpest daggers in this world. As long as he finds them one by one, Lin Xuan is confident that he can set foot anywhere in this world.

——Even if it has already fallen and completely turned into an erosion zone of foreign countries.

but.

Lin Xuan now realized that that was not enough.

He can always win wars in a certain area, and he can win all wars for a short period of time, but he cannot win all wars for everyone permanently.

Love and justice alone cannot win.

The last battle in the game can illustrate this point.

He brought all his contracted spirits and fought to the final scene at the end of the world. Both his equipment and power were at their peak, but in the end he suffered a miserable defeat.

Even the sharpest blade could not drain the giant's blood.

However, there were hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of weak but endless ants.

But they can devour the giant slowly, biting off every inch of its flesh like water dripping through a stone.

Lin Xuan admitted that he failed in the game in the end.

He might not be able to do it alone.

but.

—What if we add to this the civilization that has experienced more than 150 years of war?

This weak civilization, which was in retreat, still relied on its perseverance to develop and iterate its technology for a whole century after his death.

He even opened training academies all over the war zone, where there was only one Spirit Contract Envoy in the past, and created dozens of professional disciplines, providing a stable and endless source of new blood.

They set up garrison bases, they divided war zones around the world, and after abandoning one city-state after another, they worked tirelessly to build new homes one after another.

To know.

Even if the [Broken Time and Space] stopped advancing, it would not be possible to be like the current E-026 area.

Every time an invasion occurs, we can dispatch sufficient number of spirit envoys to respond and clean up.

A weak civilization is guilty of simply existing.

If a civilization has been able to maintain peace and prosperity for more than 40 years under such desperate circumstances, then this civilization must not be as weak as it appears.

Perhaps this civilization, once so brave and warlike that it would fight to the death, has temporarily lost its way.

but.

Just like in the long war, the first spirit master finally appeared in human history.

A miracle called "Spirit Contract" fired a heavy and unignorable gunshot towards [Broken Space and Time]. It was like thunder in silence, and the sound echoed throughout the world.

Now, at this moment.

Lin Xuan returned to this land, and the [First Contracted Spirit Envoy] responded to the call as a [Contracted Spirit].

Perhaps he was unable to turn the tide. In fact, he was too lazy and unqualified to bear the weight of a civilization and an era.

but
Just to give some direction and offer my own insights as a hardcore strategy player.

For the spirit-contracting user 『Pitch-dark Feather』.

It's just a piece of cake.

"Hello."

In the communicator, the boy's clear and steady voice replaced the battlefield filled with the roars of entities.

It was like breaking through the endless eternal night and connecting the alliance forces spread across an area.

"I am Lin Xuan. I would like to make some changes to the strategy I proposed earlier."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the communicator.

Perhaps he was questioning, as long as Mirror Spirit Fox was willing to help, wouldn't victory in this battle be unquestionable?

But the young man expressed the other person's thoughts in a calm tone.

"Indeed, just as you thought, Miss Mu, it is easy to win this battle."

"As the commander, I also guarantee that the scope of this 'corrosion collapse' will not go beyond this war zone. It will dissipate here today."

"But, for Miss Mu, do you think it's enough to just expel her?"

pause.

The boy's gentle voice was suddenly filled with the heat of fire.

Like a devil tempting treasure, like a businessman handing a dagger to the avenger, like a king who has absolute control over the entire battlefield.

He slowly extended the tempting invitation: "All the [Broken Spacetimes] are invaders from other worlds. But they bring not only entities, but also unreasonable pollution and exhausting battles."

"They also brought resources and technology from another world, as well as the materials necessary to summon contracted spirits, and many weapons that can strengthen the contracted spirits of that time and space."

"They are disasters, but also fortune and opportunities."

"But if you just ensure safety and wander around the periphery where you can't get any resources, you will end up returning empty-handed after trying just a little."

“Wouldn’t that seem a little regrettable?”

The boy spoke casually, but his calmness came from his previous observations and his constant thinking.

He smiled and continued calmly.

"Although it is a branch of the Federation, it only brings a group of the most immature newcomers to the battlefield. Some of them even have difficulty cooperating with the Contract Spirits."

"Excuse me, this power does not match the excellence of the strategy you proposed earlier, Miss Mu."

"I'm afraid someone doesn't want to see you gain enough."

"I respect all talents on the battlefield equally, and I think the decision made by your people in the rear is the worst disrespect to Miss Mu."

Lin Xuan smiled.

It was like extending an invitation, or putting the final stamp of "approval" on this unilateral proposal that could not be refused.

The black-haired boy understood the other party's hesitation and final acceptance during the other party's long silence.

This is also due to his identity as a spirit.

No matter how unknown a spirit is, what he says is always naturally convincing, which is the weight bestowed by a long period of time.

"so."

Lin Xuan resumed his friendly and calm tone.

Like the boy next door.

In a steady and powerful voice, he said in a friendly voice: "I want to thank you for coming to support us so quickly and for trusting me in making the decision on this strategy."

"Now, according to the changing situation on the battlefield, I would like to make a slight change to my previous strategy to express my insignificant gratitude."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

I have been adjusting the overall outline and rhythm these days, so the update has been a little slow. I will try to make up for it in the next few days.
