Why is my anime art style so weird?

Just as Xu Ming was sighing and complaining, he suddenly heard his older sister's voice in his ear.

"Hey little brother, would you like to share a room with your sister?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha put a finger to her lips, closed one eye, and whispered.

Xu Ming's gaze was involuntarily drawn to those alluring red lips.

It looks so sweet, I really want to try it...

Xu Ming suddenly shuddered, his eyes regained their clarity, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Sister, please stop toying with me."

Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression instantly changed from alluring to bored.

"Tch~ You saw through me~"

"Of course! This is the 13th time you've teased me like this."

Xu Ming couldn't help but recall the first time his older sister had tempted him in this way.

He was young at the time and readily agreed. Unexpectedly, his older sister's expression changed instantly. She looked at him with disdain, as if he were looking at non-recyclable waste. In the following days, she often teased and joked about it.

It's given him a psychological trauma now; he's even cautious about entering his own sister's room.

Xu Ming turned around and went back to his room to pack his things.

Kasumigaoka Utaha muttered something under her breath.

"Tsk~ Did I use too much force...?"

What Xu Ming didn't know was that Kasumigaoka Utaha's first invitation to share a room with him was genuine.

However, Xu Ming's quick reply made her suddenly feel shy, and her mind started to wander.

'If I make this request, will my younger brother think I'm a frivolous and promiscuous woman? Mom used to say that girls should be more reserved. But what if I say it's just a joke now…?'

By the time she came to her senses, her body had already reacted first.

Xu Ming's subsequent resistance and avoidance made her even angrier.

'My younger brother is such a big idiot!'

She was strong-willed to begin with, and with resentment in her heart, she simply went along with the mistake.

By the time things calmed down, a misunderstanding had already occurred.

Several times after that, Kasumigaoka Utaha tentatively brought it up, but Xu Mingxian, who had been fooled once before, seemed hesitant. In a fit of pique, Kasumigaoka Utaha put the matter aside again.

We all know the consequences of crying wolf too many times.

Now, whenever Kasumigaoka Utaha makes a similar request, Xu Ming's first reaction is, 'Is my sister trying to tease me again?'

'Forget it, let's figure out how to get rid of that wild fox first! Anyway, my little brother can't escape my grasp~'

Thinking of this, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but smile with pleasure...

Looking at the two closed doors, Xu Ming lay helplessly on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling above him, and sighed.

"Sigh, looks like I'll have to find a way to make the house bigger."

The little piglet next to him nodded in agreement.

With nothing else to do, Xu Ming opened the system panel and began to claim his reward.

—Congratulations, host, for completing the chain event 'Dark Song - Soul Mirror (3 stars)'. Quest settlement in progress…

—Settlement complete, overall event completion rate: 80%

—Gained 3000 Strange Points! (150%)

—Hidden Rewards: One Shikigami Potential Development Gem and One Equipment Potential Development Gem

Xu Ming's eyes lit up instantly.

I got two precious gems that can't be bought in the store in one go. As expected of the hidden reward of the chain quest, it's really awesome!

These two gems have similar functions; when used on shikigami or equipment, they can unlock the target's hidden potential.

Of course, this is on the premise that the user still has potential to be tapped.

If successful, there is a high probability that you will gain a new ability.

Xu Ming held the Shikigami Potential Development Gem and lingered over the portraits of Erina and the little pig for a long time before finally ruthlessly smashing the gem onto Erina's portrait.

Firstly, Erina's soul potential level is higher, second only to her older sister.

Secondly, when you have a mage, isn't it common sense in the game to prioritize upgrading the mage?

A dazzling, rainbow-like light immediately flashed across Erina's portrait.

At the same time, Erina in real life also underwent a surprising change.

Her silver hair, as white as moonlight, suddenly turned into a noble violet color!

Erina, who already exuded the air of a young lady from a wealthy family, radiated an aura of nobility from head to toe.

"Erina?"

Xu Ming looked at her with a puzzled expression.

He didn't understand what was happening, so he quickly opened the system panel.

Erina's innate ability 'Temperature Control' has suddenly transformed into 'Elemental Control (Fire, Ice, Lightning)'.

Is that even possible?!

Xu Ming thought he had already made a profit by developing an ordinary ability, but he never expected to hit the jackpot and Erina's talent ability could be further enhanced.

Although not as good as myself, a player who spends a lot of money on in-game purchases, I'm still considered a legendary lucky player.

Speaking of which, Erina is blonde with blue eyes, fair skin, and a large bust, and her cousin is also half Scandinavian. Perhaps the Nakiri family has a long tradition of intermarrying with Europeans, and Erina may also have European blood.

A genuine European, no wonder he's so lucky.

Chapter 210 Noble Lady Erina, Arrow Book

"Greetings, my lord."

As Erina spoke, she performed a graceful, effortless bow, her movements perfect and elegant.

She wore an elegant and intellectual smile, exuding a strong classical aristocratic air from the inside out.

If there's a template for a noblewoman, she'd probably look like this.

Xu Ming thought to himself.

Seeing Xu Ming freeze in surprise, Erina crossed her arms in front of her and asked softly:

"My lord, do you have any questions?"

Xu Ming immediately snapped out of his daze and quickly changed the subject.

"Have you developed some new ability?"

"Yes, my lord. Would you like me to demonstrate for you?"

Xu Ming immediately nodded with a curious expression.

Although the system had already identified it, he was still very curious about the extent to which Erina could control lightning.

Erina smiled faintly and stretched out one hand, palm facing up.

Stab it!

A blue arc of electricity emerged from her palm, writhing wildly like several nimble little snakes.

Xu Ming's eyes lit up.

Compared to the slowing effect of ice, the area-of-effect damage and continuous damage of fire, the instantaneous power of lightning is much higher.

Of course, this doesn't mean that ice, fire, and lightning only have fixed properties.

For a true master of the elements, a large-scale ice mist can also cause continuous and area-of-effect damage, a lightning net can also be used to slow down enemies, and flames compressed to the extreme can also cause massive single-target damage.

Unfortunately, Erina's control over the elements is not particularly high yet, and she can only develop these basic uses at present.

However, Xu Ming was already very satisfied.

After all, she now has another means of attack.

The most difficult thing in the world is not turning 1 into 100, but turning 0 into 1.

The former is a quantitative change, while the latter is a true qualitative change.

Xu Ming felt he was having exceptionally good luck today, so he couldn't wait to use the other gem as well.

After much hesitation, Xu Ming used the gemstone on his phone.

The phone suddenly emitted a rainbow-colored glow, looking incredibly dazzling.

After a while, the light faded.

The main body of the phone had not changed much, but Xu Ming noticed that the runes imprinted on it occasionally flashed with blue and white light.

The sense of technology remains, but the sense of magic has increased dramatically.

Xu Ming opened the system panel.

When he saw the extra capability on his phone's camera, he couldn't help but smile.

Charge Up Strike – Press and hold the shutter button to continuously charge up the phone's power. The power doubles with each second of charging, but this also consumes one charge attempt.

Xu Ming immediately began to calculate.

The exorcism phone can now be charged three times, which means that after three seconds, it can reach the maximum power of a charged attack, which is 2*3=6 times!

I wouldn't say it's invincible, but it definitely meets the standard of a finishing move.

Now there's only one problem left to solve.

Xu Ming thought for a moment and looked at an item at the bottom of the phone panel.

Aura Penetration – Ability to penetrate physical objects and damage targets inside. Points required to redeem: 2000

Level 1 'Aura Penetration' deals 50% damage.

While the exorcism phone is incredibly powerful, it has some fatal flaws.
