I loaded the dream game

"Eh?"

Unlike before, there was a clear hint of surprise in the girl's voice.

Chapter 86: Mature tasks have learned to complete themselves

"As for me... forget it." After hesitating for a moment, Kato Megumi politely declined.

"Mr. Kato, don't you believe in the existence of magic?" Xia Zhi asked.

"That's not..."

how to say.

It’s not that she doesn’t believe in things like magic and super powers, but because she has never seen them and they have never had any impact on her life, Kato Megumi can’t help but feel that no matter whether they exist or not, it doesn’t seem to have much to do with her.

Since it doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, right?

So, when Xia Zhi suggested that she give it a try, her first reaction was not doubt, but surprise.

Xia Zhi, you seem to be serious.

The girl thought so.

"Magic and miracles do exist. I can't say anything else, but I can guarantee this one thing." Xia Zhi assured the girl.

But just like the believers in the church patting their chests and assuring others that God definitely exists in this world, some things cannot be believed just because they are guaranteed.

However, one thing that is different from those believers is that Xia Zhi provided a method to disprove it.

"Aren't you worried about failure, Xiazhi?" Kato Megumi asked, tilting her head.

If you fail, it would be embarrassing, right?

"If the target is Kato, it doesn't matter even if I fail." Xia Zhi replied.

"Xiazhi really trusts me."

Kato Megumi didn't know whether she should be touched by the boy's trust, because she couldn't tell whether the boy believed in her as a person, or simply thought that even if she talked nonsense everywhere, not many people would listen, so it didn't matter.

"How about just consider it as fulfilling my wish to meet the magical girl?" Seeing that the girl was still hesitant, Xia Zhi gave another reason.

Of course, the magical girl was just an excuse he came up with temporarily. His purpose was simply to find out whether an ordinary person like Kato Megumi who had no magic power in his body could activate this rune.

"In my impression, magical girls seem to be very pretty and cute, right? Someone like me can't do that."

The girl didn't seem to have much confidence in her appearance. "Compared to me, isn't there someone more suitable than Xia Zhi?"

"Is that so?" Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment.

"For example, Yukinoshita-san, or Kirisu-sensei..." Kato Megumi tapped her chin with her finger and thought, "Oh, by the way, Natsuori-sister is also suitable."

Why did you suddenly bring the topic to them?

Besides, forget about Yukinoshita and Natsuori, but what about Mafuyu-sensei...

"That's not possible, Mafuyu-sensei."

"Huh? Why?" Kato Megumi asked in confusion, tilting her head.

"The age doesn't quite meet the requirements." After thinking about it, Xia Zhi gave a more tactful explanation.

“……”For some reason, the girl fell silent.

"Xia Zhi, class is about to start. Could you please go back to your seat?"

A familiar voice came from behind, causing Xia Zhi's body to tremble slightly.

Feeling the invisible pressure coming from behind, he also fell silent.

...Can you take back what you just said?

[This modification will consume 185 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

What about the Great Forgetfulness Technique?

[This modification will consume 25 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

This is quite cheap.

However, Xia Zhi thought about it carefully and finally gave up the idea, because he suddenly felt that he still seemed to have room for recovery.

At this time, I need to use the sophistry I learned in my previous life... No, three consecutive defenses.

He turned around, looked into Kirisu Mafuyu's blue eyes, and said sincerely and seriously: "Please wait a moment, Mr. Mafuyu, listen to my explanation. Actually, things are not what you think."

· ········Request flowers··· ·

……

Although saying this may give people the feeling of being spoiled, Xia Zhi believes that as Mr. Manfuyu's favorite student, it shouldn't matter if he occasionally says one or two wrong words... right?

He became a little uncertain again.

Forget it, let’s not think about it for now.

Xia Zhi turned his attention back to the task panel in front of him.

[Side Quest: Investigate and resolve the cause of the decline of the Kendo Club (Completed)]

[Reward: 180 Dream Points]

Sitting in the activity room of the Service Department, Xia Zhi was looking through the past mission records when he realized that he had completed this side quest that he had almost forgotten about.

......... 0 .......

He thought about it later and guessed that it was probably because he was obsessed with creating his own universe and was caught up in a bunch of side quests that were triggered later, so he didn't notice it.

But how could it complete itself when I didn’t do anything?

Or are all mature side quests actually like this?

Just when Xia Zhi was full of doubts, he heard the sound of the door being opened. Then, a black-haired girl who looked a little tired walked in holding a wooden sword.

"Good afternoon, Yukinoshita-san." Xia Zhi greeted the girl and moved his eyes to the wooden sword in her hand. After thinking for a moment, he seemed to understand something and said, "If you are interested in kendo, you don't have to go to the kendo club. I have a very good set of swordsmanship that I can share with you for free."

The Kendo Club had just survived a near-collapse crisis when someone started poaching their members.

"Xiazhi classmate..." Yukinoshita rubbed his brows, looking a little tired: "Can you please not mention kendo for the time being?"

"Please."

Chapter 87: The World of Open Source Information

It's rare that Yukinoshita Yukino would ask herself in such a tone.

Xia Zhi glanced at the wooden sword in the girl's hand, and seemed to realize something. After thinking for a while, he tried to speak: "Yukinoshita-san, you were not in the Kendo Club just now, were you?"

"Yeah, I just came back from there." Yukinoshita answered as she returned to her seat and sat down.

"Because of the commission from the Ministry?"

The girl nodded. "They found me three days ago, hoping that I could help solve the problem regarding their minister."

No wonder Yukinoshita-san looked so busy those days, Xia Zhi thought to himself in "907".

"What's the result?" he continued to ask.

"solved."

"Who was dealt with?"

"..."

Xia Zhi felt that he roughly knew how the side quest was completed. It was probably because the girl solved the problem of the kendo club first.

But...it turns out that in the dream game's judgment, a task can be completed even if you didn't participate?

Also, doesn't the mission description also require an investigation? Or is the investigation actually secondary and it's OK as long as the problem is solved?

That's really casual, Xia Zhi thought to himself.

"So, this wooden sword is the reward they gave you?"

Isn’t it a bit shabby?

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi reached out his hand to take the wooden sword on the table and take a look at it, but he heard the girl shout "Wait" and stopped his hand.

Seeing that Xia Zhi did not touch the sword, Yukinoshita felt a little relieved, looked at the boy and said, "You can't touch it."

Summer Solstice: ?

Why? Am I unworthy?

"This sword... is a little strange." Faced with the inquiring look from the young man, Yukinoshita hesitated for a long time, as if she couldn't find a very appropriate word to describe it. In the end, she could only use the word "strange" to describe it.

"Strange?" Xia Zhi tilted his head: "How strange is it?"

"..."

Yukinoshita didn't say anything. She just took a deep breath, picked up the wooden sword on the table again, and then gently swung it in the direction of Xia Zhi.

The girl's sword-swinging movements were so slow and without any skill at all, so Xia Zhi easily blocked the sword with both hands.

"That's it?"

There was no fluctuation of magic power, nor could he sense any other strange power. The force coming from the sword was so weak that it seemed that he could push the sword back with just a little effort. However, considering that it might hurt the girl, Xia Zhi did not do so after all.

"Eh...wait a minute?"

Soon, Xia Zhi reacted.

You can obviously catch the sword with one hand, why do you have to use two hands?

Besides, why do I have to maintain this posture?

"Now you understand, right?" After doing this, Yukinoshita's face showed an expression as if she was forced to do something very unpleasant. It was not until she suppressed the disgust in her heart, took back the wooden sword and threw it aside that her expression relaxed a little.

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi ignored the girl's previous obstruction, reached out and took the wooden sword from the table and held it in his hand, thinking in his heart that he wanted to know all the information about this sword...

[This modification will consume 25 dream points. Do you want to confirm the modification? ]

"confirm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, countless pieces of information flooded into his mind like a tide.

The structure of the sword, its age, the time and place of its initial production, its owners and users, as well as the elements of the sword itself, the number of atoms, the relative position, speed and angular momentum of each atom, and even the embers of the destruction of which stars they came from...

In just a short moment, Xia Zhi learned all the information about the wooden sword. At the same time, he also knew the source of the sword's strange power.

"One hundred percent chance of being attacked by a sword with bare hands. Every swing of the sword will increase the user's aversion to the sword. It is indestructible and cannot be exempted..."

The above is the fantasy setting attached to this wooden sword, or the abnormal characteristics, absolute characteristics, fantasy concepts... Anyway, no matter what you call it, it's probably something like this.

Xia Zhi should be very familiar with such existence. After all, he often created similar things. However, this was the first time he had seen an abnormal characteristic that was not created by him.

It was not until this time that Xia Zhi realized that when he was verifying the settings of the world, he only focused on verifying the more common settings, but ignored a very important point.

But it doesn’t matter, it’s not too late to verify it again now.

"Settings..." He took a deep breath and whispered in his heart: "The information of this world is open source."

Soon, a line of subtitles appeared in front of him:

[This modification cannot be made].

Chapter 88 From now on, this is our relationship

Open source information means that the information in this world itself is allowed to be edited, just like the fantasy settings that Xia Zhi made after modifying reality. The abnormal characteristics attached to the wooden sword are also the product of edited information.

So, when was it edited and by whom?

Regarding these two points, the former dream game gave him the answer: the abnormal characteristics attached to the wooden sword suddenly appeared about a week ago.

But the information Xia Zhi obtained about the wooden sword did not include who added it.

This means that either such a person does not exist, or even the dream game cannot obtain information about this existence.
