Jobless Reincarnation: Sword, Magic Hat and Romance System

Chapter 3 No way, System, are you serious?!

The person who came was Luo Qixi.

After responding to the other party's hasty reminder, Allen couldn't help but recall the original plot.

Undoubtedly, her presence at this time and location, carrying a suitcase, indicates that she has just separated from Rudy's family and left Buena Village to embark on a new adventure.

I missed it.

But it seems we've made it in time again.

Like rushing.

So, here's the question.

The Transmigration Guide System's task for him is to participate in major events in each stage of Rudeus's growth in the jobless reincarnation, leaving a "trace" in the eyes of the main and supporting characters, and thus earning a participation score.

Is there an opportunity right now?

According to Allen's plan, getting close to Loki would definitely allow him to accumulate a large number of points—again, Loki is far too important in the original storyline.

In Rudy's growth trajectory, the struggle against the gods and humans is the main theme of the story, while Lokishi is the cause of the gods and humans' appearance.

After the Great Transference, Loki helps Rudeus find his family, and during this process, the two develop feelings for each other. It is precisely because of their child, Lala, that she becomes the key figure in sealing the gods and humans in the future. The Great Transference alters cause and effect, allowing the gods and humans to foresee their own fate through future vision, which is why they intervene in Rudeus's fate, thus setting the stage for the main storyline.

The opportunity was right in front of him, but Allen hesitated.

As someone who has read the book, his biggest advantage is his pseudo-futuristic vision, followed by the system.

In other words, he shouldn't have allowed his personal preferences for the original character to excessively interfere with the plot. Ideally, he should have participated in major events as a relatively powerful supporting character.

If the impact is too great and the Dragon God, who roams through reincarnation, discovers it, he might very well be stabbed to death on the spot without even listening to his explanation. Given the current growth attributes of the system, confronting the Dragon God is still a very distant prospect.

It's more important to utilize this in the future, as it can help avoid encountering him too early in the initial stages.

As Luo Qixi watched Allen's gaze gradually harden, she twisted her calves uncomfortably, reached out and tugged at her blue hair, then looked at the blood-stained grass beside her, as if she wanted to say something.

Just then, puffs of smoke appeared out of thin air, separating Allen from Loki.

He blinked, somewhat puzzled.

"Huh? Why is the system appearing now? My swordsmanship skills shouldn't have improved to the point where they need an update."

Immediately, lines of bold, underlined, and red text froze in mid-air, and Allen's face stiffened.

[Instant Quest for "A Guide to Jobless Reincarnation" Released.]

[The first encounter with Luo Qixi.]

[Mission Background: The host has once again missed the opportunity to teach Rudeus during his childhood. Two days have passed since Loki and Rudeus parted ways. This chance encounter with Loki is the host's only remaining chance to make amends.]

[Task Description: Gain Loki's favor within one hour. Gain Rudeus's favor within four days.]

[Quest Reward: Healing Magic Groove - Unlocked (2/4)]

[Healing Magic Grooves—Four magic grooves are inlaid on the host's Dragon Saint Battle Aura Core, each corresponding to one of the four types of magic within the Healing Magic system: Healing Magic; Detoxification Magic; Barrier Magic; and Divine Strike Magic.]

[The host can acquire magical runes through physical contact. Requirements: The host must have cast one of these four types of magic within the previous minute. Upon contact, the host's magical fluctuations will be copied and solidified into a groove by the system, transforming into magical runes. Once activated, the magical runes can cast the corresponding magic effects on the host's body in real time until the host's magic power is exhausted. Note: Magical runes are only effective on the host's body and cannot be applied to external objects.]

[Mission begins.]

[Luo Qixi: Countdown: 0:59:59. If completed, the healing magic slot will be unlocked.]

[Rudius: Countdown: 95:59:58. If completed, the antidote magic slot will be unlocked.]

No? Dude? Feelings? ???

what?

Is this system even legitimate? Loki's favorability is one thing, but what the hell is Rudeus's favorability? Huh? And you're still hiding something at 2/4? You can't hide anything at all! Anyone with a brain knows you're missing the other two heroines!

Seeing Allen's ever-changing expression, Luo Qixi finally couldn't help but try to say something to ease the awkwardness. She scratched her face somewhat embarrassedly and said...

"Well... I was traveling at night when I saw a fire in the forest, so I came closer. I happened to see monsters attacking humans, and I instinctively cast a spell. I didn't expect you to be able to handle them yourself. Looks like I was just being redundant; I almost hit you."

Alan's adorable, stuttering voice, which indicated he wasn't good at dealing with people, snapped him out of his daze.

The system panel had vanished into thin air, allowing him to see Luo Qixi's appearance clearly again.

In the firelight, God (a trope of being jobless, with Rudy referring to Loki as God) fidgeted with her legs, her black stockings slipping slightly off her calves, revealing faint red marks on her fair skin. Her cheeks were also flushed, and her eyes darted around as she looked at her surroundings.

He just wouldn't look up at Allen.

At this moment, the surging battle energy within him subsided, and Allen felt a burning sensation in his nose. Soon after, blood began to flow from his nose. (Keep reading, not because of his legs.)

He touched the area under his nose in a daze, glanced at Luo Qixi's two light blue braids, as if he had hesitated for a long time, but in reality he only hesitated for a moment.

Then his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Of course, it was a fake fainting spell.

As for nosebleeds…

—The "Twenty Slashes" of the Northern God School of combat is a rapid sword-drawing slash that relies entirely on physical fitness and proficiency. In his current state, he is not yet able to fully support swinging five slashes in a short period of time. His body is not yet fully developed, and the rapid surge of his fighting spirit has caused his capillaries to rupture.

This is also why his Northern Divine Style level is not high—he cannot sustain combat using practical techniques, and because the methods of the Qiba School are too bizarre, he has not mastered many of them yet.

If not, then it is impossible; if not, then it is unwilling.

There are things that are actually possible, like the Northern King in the novel who covered himself in mirrors during the Asura throne battle. However, he really didn't want to make himself look like a disco ball unless absolutely necessary.

Logically speaking, since it was just a ruptured capillary, Allen shouldn't have fainted.

But the task has been given, the countdown is still running, and the opportunity has presented itself.

Then let's not hesitate.

—In the short term, fainting is actually the simplest and most effective way to gain Luo Qixi's favor:

Through the Franklin effect/social effect.

The most direct way to win the favor of a stranger you've just met is not to offer them help, but to ask for their help.

Firstly, this will give the other person a sense of self-respect, making them feel their own value and importance.

Secondly, in the process of helping you, the other party, based on their subconscious desire not to let the cost go unnoticed, will unconsciously pay more attention to you in subsequent interactions, making them feel more favorably toward you.

The message conveyed is: "You ask me about my relationship with him/her? Let me think... because I helped him/her before, we have a pretty good relationship~"

Now is the perfect time for the Franklin effect to take effect, and Alan's fainting at this moment is a reasonable and natural prerequisite for "asking for help from the other party".

In addition, Loki's water ball almost backfired and hit Allen, and the other party already felt a little apologetic towards Allen.

It is clear.

—Now! Right now, at this very moment! This is the only time you can ask for help without being refused!

Allen collapsed with a thud.

"Let the Franklin effect kick in! Blue Mama, please help the children! (This is a reference to a jobless fan; casual readers, please don't misunderstand.) You are the one and only true god of the jobless sect; cast a spell and make the loyal followers of the Rocky Cult stand up!"

Allen closed his eyes and prayed to God for His blessing. Sure enough, he soon heard Loki's hurried mutterings and pacing.

"He fainted? Did the water polo trick still hit him? H-h-what do we do??"

Allen: Healing spell!!

"Should we...run away?"

Allen: Huh??

"Wait, wait, Luo Qixi, don't panic, calm down, calm down."

A cold hand reached out and touched Allen's lips.

"He's still breathing; it's an external injury. With my healing spell level, I can still manage!"

Allen: Okay, thank you.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but Loki's series of panicked reactions, which made him think of the panicked expression of the other party in the novel after using the water-based holy-level magic - Thunderstorm Cloud - to summon lightning and knock out Rudy's horse.

It feels more real than anime or novels. Mama Smurf's cold face makes her seem serious, but the Muggle version of Mama Smurf has a charming and adorable contrast.

Forehead.

However, the idea of ​​attempting to abandon the body and escape is quite plausible.

He was an adventurer, though.

Luo Qixi's somewhat hurried voice rang out.

"Like a loving mother! Heal this person's wounds! Restore his health! Healing spell!"

Allen had been waiting for a long time. As soon as the magic incantation was finished, he immediately opened his eyes and sat up like a dead fish!

soon!

He swiftly reached out and grabbed Luo Qixi's hand. Amidst the wide-eyed shock, shyness, bewilderment, and relief on her face, he spoke earnestly and sincerely.

Allen: "Thank you, God."

Luo Qixi: Σ(°ロ°)! !

As soon as he finished speaking, the Ruyan system panel appeared before his eyes.

[Successfully gained Luo Qixi's favor, time taken: 2 minutes and 47 seconds.]

[Comment: A Super Boy contestant, fierce, with blond hair.]

[Healing Magic Slot Unlocked.]

[Detection indicates that the host is making physical contact with Loki, which was detected within the past minute by a healing spell cast by Loki.]

[Retrieval successful. The magic rune has been inlaid—Intermediate Healing Spell.]

Allen blinked, somewhat moved, staring intently at the blue-haired, legally-loving loli in front of him, whose face was filled with terror and panic.

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this inexplicable goodwill was due to the Franklin effect or simply because I had praised the other person.

But one thing is beyond doubt:

This is 'God'.

Generous, fair-skinned, beautiful, and lovely.

God's cheeks flushed, and he pulled his hand away from Allen's, smoothing the stray hairs on his forehead, his gaze shifting to the side again.

"What do you mean by 'god'? It's just an ordinary intermediate healing spell. Calling me a god is such an exaggeration."

And they're easy to coax.

Allen looked at Loki, who was sitting like a duck right next to him. Loki's half-closed eyes, which seemed to be unable to open due to lack of sleep, were somewhat cold at the corners of his mouth. However, the flustered expression mixed with the happiness of being praised as a god was completely inconsistent with his expression.

Contrast cute.

Tsk, Rudeus, from the thirty-four-year-old, NEET-trained, butter-loving XP.

That's absolutely true.
