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

Chapter 38: Similar lines always come one after another
Xia Shimi's fingertips lightly grasped the hem of her sleeves.

The wind on the rooftop was strong and cold, lifting the corners of her loose hooded coat.

The custom-made cloak she had bought earlier was damaged, so she had to find a standard-made one from the storage space. But even this smallest model was still a little too big for her.

The white-haired girl wanted to lower her head again, but she didn't let her gaze shift for even a second.

She didn't want to be considered weak by Lin Xuan.

Even if she was rejected in the end, she didn't want the other party to be disappointed and feel that saving her was not worth it, thus ending this chance encounter in a bad way.

Ever since she created a miracle with the last list of materials in that shabby research institute, Xia Shimi has always known that she would have to face reality sooner or later.

My talent as a spirit bond user is very poor, this has been tested since I was in the academy.

Her "etheric channel" is blocked.

For other spirit contract users, if they have 500 points of magic power, they can give 500 points of magic power to the spirit contract user.

There are even some geniuses who are good at utilizing efficiency, and it is more than enough for them to use 500 points as if they were 1000 or 1500.

However, Xia Shimi’s talent in this area cannot be said to be bad.

All I can say is that there is absolutely none.

She did have ether, but with her narrow circuits, she might not be able to give even one percent of it to her own spirit.

It was like a circuit that didn't conduct electricity. She had clearly tried everything - but it just didn't work no matter how hard she tried.

This strange phenomenon once confused the teachers in the college who admired this outstanding model student.

Because this is no longer a question of whether one's qualifications are good or not, it is something that goes against common sense.

If it doesn't conduct electricity, then she shouldn't be able to use ether; if she can use ether, then how can it not conduct electricity?
But they tried every possible means and still couldn't find out where the problem came from.

It can only be attributed to the most general "bad talent".

She, who was once an excellent student, eventually became the last one in the class with poor grades.

The young Xiao Qi Ling had felt lost at first, and this disappointment turned into despair and numbness in the fire that burned down his hometown.

She realized that possessing the qualifications to be a spirit bond master was just like opening a fairy tale book.

But who says fairy tales always have happy endings?
The princess who ate the poisoned apple slept forever in the crystal coffin; the mermaid from the sea finally turned into foam; the two brothers and sisters who wanted to find the candy house got lost in the forest and couldn't find their way home.

So the girl gently closed the fairy tale book and chose to accept the adult reality.

but.

When she saw the boy walk out from the brilliant blue light, she followed behind him, watching him defuse the crisis in the E-026 area with ease and confidence.

It was like an abandoned fairy tale book falling to the ground and breaking apart.

The pages that were not turned before are opened.

The hero from the fairy tale, from the distant childhood, once again stood before her in all his glory. The memory had not faded at all, but the outline had become even clearer.

Some are burning hot.

But even though she knew she would fail, she couldn't help but want to reach out and touch her childhood dream again.

"I, I know there will be problems with ether consumption."

Xia Shimi's voice was a little unusually loud, and she sounded a little uneasy and embarrassed, and her ruby-like eyes flickered.

This slightly raised voice was a rare kind of "excitement" for her.

"But I have already asked Miss Mu. After seeing my marksmanship, she said that if I were equipped with some more expensive equipment, I might be able to exert even stronger combat power."

"In this way, maybe I can get promoted and get more salary."

"Plus, I haven't spent much money in recent years, so I still have some private savings."

She raised her head and placed her light hand on her chest.

The tone was firm and solemn.

"This money can be used to buy consumable 'Soul Condensing Crystals', which should be enough to sustain for a while longer."

It was a kind of condensed ether.

You can get it from the place after fighting with Broken Time and Space, like upgrade resources in the game, or something like crystal in the background of cultivation.

Some contracted spirits do not have enough magic power, so many contracted spirits will use these things to increase their combat power in battle.

——Some manufacturers even launched different flavors, such as strawberry and chocolate, which is enough to show how popular this thing is.

But this thing is expensive.

If the purchase is too frequent, the spirit master who could have lived a comfortable life will become a poor worker every day.

"If this isn't enough!"

Xia Shimi gritted her teeth, raised her head, and said in a soft and serious voice, "I can still borrow--"

"Stop, stop, stop, wait a minute!"

Lin Xuan hurriedly walked forward, stretched out his hand to hold down the girl's head, and stopped her from blurting out even more outrageous words.

He was originally immersed in the feeling of "Ah, it turns out that I was also treated as a contracted spirit. I am not coaxing the problem girl but being coaxed. This actually feels not bad."

He wanted to enjoy it a little longer, after all, he would probably be on the opposite side for the foreseeable future.

But Xia Shimi's words became more and more outrageous.

The more Lin Xuan listened, the more he felt that he was like a gigolo in a nightclub who dressed up, gave himself a nickname, and then lived on gigolo meals. Let a girl who was only sixteen years old whisper.

"I'm going to work outside to earn money to support you, please don't abandon me, okay?"

Like a puppy abandoned on the roadside, with its white fur soaked by the heavy rain, it looked pitifully at the back of the car driving away.

This is birth!
"When did I say no?"

Lin Xuan smiled helplessly and patted the other person's head, which was less than 1.6 meters tall. "Besides, you don't have to be so self-deprecating."

"At least, I haven't felt the problem of the etheric circuit being unable to supply mana that you mentioned so far."

To talk about understanding the mechanism of the Spirit Contractor.

Sorry, if he admits to being second, then I'm afraid no one in the world would dare to claim to be first.

In order to pass the game, Lin Xuan not only tried to unpack the game but failed, but also broke down every detail of the game and used it to his advantage.

So, the ether circuit is not good, so it is considered a fake and defective product.
He could say that with certainty.

fart!

If you are not qualified, you cannot summon the contract spirit. And since you can summon the contract spirit, but you cannot use the circuit, there must be other reasons.

Just say that the amount of ether is small.

The only thing that cannot be is that one is born with poor aptitude.

This was written in the code - just like how he had lost so many times in the first place, he just couldn't win.

This is how the code is written. Just like higher mathematics cannot be influenced by love, don't look down on these low-level game mechanics guys!

rather say.
As far as Lin Xuan can see, he has not felt any suffocation in his daily life so far.

He was clearly a newly summoned spirit, so just like Mu Yuqing said, there should be a [running-in period].

But not only did he easily familiarize himself with his body and unlock the system of "power", he could even upgrade and acquire skills smoothly.

Every upgrade consumes a lot of resources.

But not only was the girl’s ether drained out, she didn’t even seem to notice that she had upgraded.

What if this uniqueness is not just because he is a time traveler?

Why did they travel through time and space to the present moment, a hundred years later, and why was it this girl who was the only one to draw the soul?
Is it just because the E-026 area is a map that he was familiar with "when he was alive" and meets the requirements?

Is his talent really just a so-called "defective product"?
From Lin Xuan's perspective as a strategic player, he could not attribute these things to chance, which instead aroused his interest.

It was just like when he had drawn those contracted spirits, he suffered to raise his favorability while also exploring their personalities and abilities.

Suffer, then reap.

This is the basic quality of being a hardcore player, and Lin Xuan has always enjoyed it.

After repeatedly assuring her that the words he said did not come from "Yasasi's Central Air Conditioning", he temporarily comforted her.

I really won't be led astray by other spirits.

After sending away the white-haired loli who still seemed a little unbelievable and was pinching her cheeks with her fingers in a daze.

Lin Xuan was once again the only one left on this lonely rooftop.

"call."

The black-haired boy let out a long sigh.

Shrugging his shoulders, he sighed with some helplessness: "I didn't expect that what I was originally going to do would be taken a step ahead by her."

"It's all right now. The spirit she wished for has agreed. After all, my strategy is not difficult."

He looked up at the sky.

He murmured with a feeling of melancholy in his heart: "But, the person I am going to find may not be as easy to find as me."

When the voice fell in the night.

A light and pleasant voice sounded softly beside him.

"Is it?"

Her long crystal blue hair swayed beautifully in the night. She wore that light witch costume and sat on the edge of the rooftop.

The fox-eared girl appeared there at some point.

The tail dangles down.

She seemed not to care about what had just happened, just like the reflection of another wild geese flying by on the water.

Xing Jian Jingli turned her head to look, and her light golden pupils reflected Lin Xuan's frozen expression.

"Then I'm curious about how difficult it is to capture the person you are going to find."

The girl's delicate face tilted her head, and her pair of soft light blue fox ears moved.

His calm expression even looked cute.

She spoke lightly, "'The First Spirit Envoy', Lin Xuansang."
