Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

Sikong, as he wished, went with Himeko Murata to have an artificial stigma implanted, accompanied by several other B-rank Valkyries from his class who had successfully advanced.

This is the research lab of St. Freya College.

Before the artificial stigmata transplant.

Himeko Murata handed a list to Sikong.

"These are some Stigmata recommended by the Destiny Headquarters based on your physical condition. Take a look for yourself."

Besides Sikong, the other Valkyries also received the same list.

Everyone was frowning as they made their choices.

Sikong glanced at his list first.

There are only three types of stigmata on it.

Highly recommended – Elizabeth Bathory.

Just an ordinary guy – Rinaldo.

Choose carefully – Huxie.

Without carefully reading the descriptions of the three types of stigmata, Sikong glanced at his classmates' lists and found that the number of stigmata on each person's list varied, with some having only two compatible stigmata.

Some of them Sikong knew, but most were people he didn't know.

"You'll have an hour before it's your turn to have your artificial stigma implanted. Make your choice carefully during this time, as this will determine your future career path. Don't get distracted or look at other people's."

As she spoke, Himeko tapped Sikong on the head.

Two loud bangs.

Sikong immediately covered his head and looked at Himeko Murata with innocent eyes.

"Why did Himeko tap my head? And twice! Is she telling me to choose the second one?" Sikong dismissed these thoughts. "This isn't a Journey to the West movie, why think about such strange things..."

Sikong is not Sun Wukong.

Himeko Murata is not Bodhi Patriarch.

"Don't look at me, it won't do you any good. Don't expect me to give you any advice. The Destiny Organization has listed out all the Stigmata suitable for you, and the advantages and disadvantages of the Stigmata are clearly written out. Choose for yourself."

After speaking, Himeko Murata turned and left.

Sikong turned his attention back to the list in his hands, starting with the first highly recommended item.

Name: Elizabeth Bathory

Codename: The Vampire Countess

[Description: After transplanting a Stigmata, it can significantly enhance the user's strength, defense, and agility. Hitting an enemy has a chance to steal the enemy's Honkai energy to restore the user's own condition.]

[Heavenly Mandate Evaluation: This Stigmata has been personally tested by countless Valkyries and found to provide a more powerful boost when in good physical condition. Combined with Lieutenant Sikong's special abilities and Divine Martial Arts, it can significantly enhance strength.]

If Sikong remembers correctly.

This stigmata should be a four-star stigmata in the game. Of course, all three stigmata he has are four-star. He had just seen three-star and even two-star stigmata names on the list of other Valkyries.

I wonder if the world of Honkai Impact 3rd is the same as the game.

The higher the star rating of a stigmata, the better. If that's really the case, then people who get two-star stigmata are truly unlucky.

They started at a disadvantage compared to others.

To surpass a Valkyrie who has obtained a better Stigmata, one must put in even more effort.

Unlike in the game...

In the Honkai Impact 3rd world, the Stigmata are not directly given a star rating, nor are there any specific data analyses.

It was just a general introduction.

Next is the second stigmata.

Name: Rinaldo

Codename: Berserker Knight

[Description: After transplanting a Stigmata, hitting an enemy's weak point may paralyze the opponent and deal massive damage. It can also plunder the enemy's Honkai energy to restore one's own condition.]

[Destiny's Evaluation: After testing by numerous Valkyries, this Stigmata significantly enhances the ability to strike weak points after defeating an enemy. After careful evaluation, it is deemed most suitable for Lieutenant Sikong.]

Without much thought, Sikong immediately looked at the last holy mark.

【Name: Huxie】

Codename: Daughter of the Frontier

[Description: After transplanting a Stigmata, one gains the ability to convert Honkai energy into flames, resulting in considerable damage.]

[Destiny's Evaluation: This stigmata is much cooler than the previous two. It uses Honkai energy to generate flames, dealing considerable damage. However, after assessment, it doesn't suit Lieutenant Sikong's fighting style, so it's not recommended.]

Sikong stared blankly at the three Stigmata.

The Destiny Organization believed that the [Bathori Elizabeth] stigmata was suitable for him, and Sikong thought so too, since he used a greatsword and improving his physical attributes would bring him the greatest boost.

However, the fact that you can recover health by plundering enemy Honkai is a good thing.

Sikong doesn't need it at all, since he has the invincibility cheat activated. It is precisely because of this that he can keep triggering the special effect of [Bathory Elizabeth].

When in good physical condition, stigmata can provide a more powerful boost.

If Sikong remembers correctly, the description in the game is: when health is above 80%, physical damage, defense, and movement speed are increased.

It does look very fragrant.

But for some reason, once Sikong's eyes fell on [Huxie], he couldn't take them off.

Perhaps Elizabeth Bathory is a good fit for me.

but......

[Hu Xie] is very handsome, and not just ordinary handsome.

There's a saying that goes something like this: being strong is only a temporary thing, but being handsome is a lifelong thing.

Playing with fire was incredibly exciting for Sikong, reminding him of his one-hour Raven experience card in Changkong City.

Raise your hand.

Himeko Murata walked over.

"What? You've already made your choice?"

"Yes, Himeko-sensei, I want to choose Huxie."

Sikong handed the list to Himeko Murata, since all she would get were four-star stigmata.

Playing a Fire Greatsword user is pretty good, isn't it?

not to mention......

The upgrade of the Stigmata was not very important to Sikong. He only wanted to obtain the identity of a B-rank Fate Knight, then get the third-generation Valkyrie Armor, and conduct experiments to transplant the Tranquility Gem.

Once you master the power of the Herrscher of Death, these artificial stigmata are basically useless.

"Huh? You've thought it through? Aren't you a greatsword user? Logically speaking, choosing Bathory Elizabeth is the best decision. Sikong, don't do anything reckless. Implanting artificial stigmata is very troublesome. If you want to change it later, it probably won't be so easy."

Himeko Murata frowned slightly.

Sikong did not expect the other party to refute him.

Himeko Murata hadn't expected that her opponent would choose [Hūjai], the one that Destiny least recommended.

You should know that ordinary people don't even have the chance to get a recommendation from Heaven!

"Himeko-sensei, didn't you say you wouldn't offer suggestions?"

Sikong was a little depressed.

He knew that artificial stigmata couldn't offer much improvement, and he still needed the Tranquil Gem, so he didn't place much importance on the functionality of stigmata.

"I'm not suggesting anything, I just don't want to see you mess around, honestly... Even if you know you're going to have the Tranquility Gem transplanted, at least put some effort into the artificial Stigmata transplant! You bastard!" Himeko Murata pressed her hands against Sikong's face. "If you're going to transplant the Tranquility Gem with this kind of mentality, how can I possibly feel at ease!"

The red-haired mature woman kneaded Sikong's face like dough.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Surgery in Progress

Perhaps Sikong's attitude was too rude.

They don't care at all.

Therefore, Himeko Murata, being straightforward, revealed that she was about to have the Tranquility Gem transplanted, something that very few people actually knew about at the moment.

The Valkyries around them all changed their expressions.

"Transplanting the Tranquility Gem is no child's play, so get your act together!" Himeko Murata gave Sikong a good rub, and then, realizing something, she looked at the Valkyries beside her. "Everyone... please keep this a secret."

When the Valkyries in the same class heard about the Tranquil Gem...

This was undoubtedly somewhat surprising.

As a gem possessing the power of a Herrscher.

She is also a very famous figure among the Valkyries.

Not long ago, everyone heard that a female A-rank Valkyrie who graduated from St. Freya Academy had the Desire Gem implanted, which resulted in her being crippled in both legs.

That was the result of a failed gemstone transplant.

"Himeko-sensei, we'll keep it a secret." One of the Valkyries said, then hesitated for a moment, "But isn't it a bit too daring to have Sikong implant the Tranquility Gem? Even A-rank Valkyries..."

“These things are none of your business, and don’t make that face. Sikong agreed to it himself; Destiny didn’t force him.” Himeko Murata took a deep breath. “In fact, I didn’t agree with him getting the Tranquility Gem transplanted either, but he insisted on going, and there was nothing I could do.”

Anyway, I know I won't die, and even if my body has problems, I can recover quickly.

Sikong wasn't worried at all about any problems arising from transplanting the Tranquil Gem.

The only thing to be careful about is the effect of the Tranquility Gem on the mind, but he has not suffered much hardship, except for some tribulations he experienced while working in his previous life.

Since arriving in the Honkai Impact 3rd world.

Sikong had no bad experiences.

Changkong City is his personal stage, and St. Freya Academy is the path he uses to become stronger.
