A journey into an infinite dimension

The strong all have their own pride. Even if the person sitting opposite them is their most hated and biggest enemy, if the other party comes as a guest, they will not be stingy in providing hospitality.

At most, I would wait until the entertainment was over and then blow the other person's head off.

"Yeah."

After hearing this, Jia Ye didn't say anything else.

However, the purpose of his trip was not to have afternoon tea with Honkai Will. The reason he came to find Honkai Will was because she invited him.

"So, why did you suddenly come to me? Is there something wrong?"

Looking at the Honkai Will that was secretly glaring at each other with Ge Jiuye, Jia Ye took a sip of black tea and asked.

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

With his cheeks slightly puffed up, the Honkai Will asked back in dissatisfaction.

Is our relationship that close?

Although he thought so in his heart, Jiaye wisely did not say it out loud.

After all, it seemed that he and the Honkai Will had met before in a place he didn't know about, and their relationship might really be that familiar.

Therefore, it is better not to say such things casually before confirming the details, otherwise you may get slapped in the face.

"Okay, sure."

"That's about it."

Looking at the Honkai Will smiling happily because of his words, Jia Ye once again felt curious and puzzled as to why the Honkai Will took a fancy to him.

Although the situations of Honkai Will and Melusine are very similar, both of them took the initiative to confess their feelings for Jiaye. However, unlike Melusine who came from the future, Jiaye felt only confusion and doubt as he had no idea why Honkai Will took a fancy to him.

"If you have nothing to do, don't waste our time and Jiaye's time."

Ge Jiuye put down the teacup in his hand and said sarcastically.

"Or are you just bored? You're such a shameful little thing."

"How could I possibly be bored when I can see how active Jiaye is? Although seeing your bored face does make me feel very bored."

The Honkai Will smiled coldly, not taking Ge Jiuye's words to heart at all. She turned to look at Jia Ye again, with a smile on her pretty face that seemed a little embarrassed.

"That being said, I did come to you this time because I have something."

As soon as she said this, she immediately treated the conversation with Ge Jiuye as if it had never happened.

"what's up?"

Jia Ye was not too surprised by this.

After all, if she suddenly came to him simply because she wanted to have afternoon tea, then Jia Ye would have no choice but to accept it.

But he was also a little curious. Why would Honkai Will need to find him for something? It couldn't be that she didn't want to play this game anymore, right?

"This world has entered a period of long grass. Although it's nice to see you, Jiaye, living a quiet and peaceful daily life, I don't think you are the type to be idle."

Fortunately, Jiaye’s speculation did not come true. Not only did Honkai Impact 3rd not want to play anymore, but instead wanted to add some extra excitement to the game.

Or perhaps she wanted to add excitement not to the game, but to Jiaye's life.

"So, Jiaye, do you want to be like me and that guy?"

The sudden and shocking remarks made Jia Ye and Ge Jiuye stunned.

If we were to describe the Honkai Will and Kakujiuye, or rather the essence of the Honkai Will and Kakujiuye's existence, basically all nouns related to the words "transcendence", "detachment" and "outside", such as "transcendent", "detached", and "god" can be used to describe them, but they can only be used to describe the basics and cannot be perfectly summarized.

After all, reality is not a novel. There are no proper nouns that can be used to describe them based on the setting, so all relevant words can be used to describe them, but they are not qualified enough to describe them perfectly.

To put it simply and without any fancy words, it means "the strongest". There may be the same "strongest", but there is no "stronger".

How to become this kind of existence? Everyone knows it, and yet no one knows it.

Because everyone's way of existence is different, some are '100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10km run every day, persist for three years and never turn on the air conditioner no matter how hot it is'; some are innate; some are due to various experiences or the sudden awakening of some kind of power.

Ultimately, the most critical and fundamental prerequisite for becoming the "strongest" is not the process and method, but the starting point and talent.

If you have this talent, you might be able to achieve this kind of existence even after sleeping. Without this talent, you will never be able to do it even if you give up everything.

It's cruel, but also true.

And now, the Honkai Will is asking Jiaye if he wants to become the "strongest". Does this mean that—

"What's the price?"

Although he thought of a possibility, Jiaye was not carried away by it.

She doesn't believe there is a free lunch in the world, especially not a free lunch of this level.

"There's no price, because you already have this talent. My approach is simply to help you achieve the result sooner."

Very pleased and satisfied with Jiaye's calmness, a sly smile quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the Honkai Will said this in a tempting tone like a devil's whisper.

"But if you're really worried, you can call me 'sister' as a reward."

"..."

Faced with the huge temptation of gaining strength in exchange for just a simple title, even Jia Ye couldn't help but feel extremely hesitant and wavering.

Being able to gain strength while overcoming one's own psychological shadows is something many people dream of. Although reason tells Jia Ye that this is worth it, his emotions make him hesitate and waver.

Overcoming psychological barriers is often not as easy as it sounds.

Looking at Jia Ye like this, Ge Jiuye, who had not said a word since the Honkai Will opened its mouth, still kept looking at him quietly.

Only he, the one who truly controls this life, can make the decision on this matter. Even though she and he are essentially the same person, she cannot interfere with his choice.

Although she is unhappy with this guy named Honkai Will, if she can really help Jiaye become stronger, then she won't mind having her as her sister - of course, she only has time for one sentence, that's the bottom line.

At the same time, she was also a little curious as to why just a childhood shadow could make Jia Ye stop in the face of such a huge temptation.

Although she could sense Jiaye's thoughts, out of respect for Jiaye's privacy, she had always deliberately restrained herself from fully exploring, and only occasionally read Jiaye's current thoughts, so she could not completely empathize with Jiaye.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, Jiaye slowly spoke under the expectation of Honkai Will and the calm gaze of Ge Jiuye.

"This time, I owe you a favor——"

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment involuntarily flashed across the eyes of Honkai Will, and Ge Jiuye also felt a little regretful in his heart.

It would be a good thing if Jiaye could overcome his psychological trauma, but it seems that it is still not possible now.

However, Jiaye's words actually had a sequel.

"——-Sister (sisちゃん.)"

As soon as the words fell, Honkai Will was stunned, and Ge Jiuye was also stunned.

However, compared to the Honkai Will, Ge Jiuye came back to his senses quickly, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up into an arc full of relief.

"...Jiaye, what did you just say? Say it again?"

Coming back to his senses, he suspected that it was just an auditory hallucination, and the Honkai Will stared at Jiaye and said.

"I know this price isn't equal to what you gave me, so even though you might not need it, I owe you a favor, onee-chan."

When doing something, the most difficult step is often from '0' to '1'. However, if you take this step, then the originally very difficult things will become much simpler later, even if they will not become easy.

This is the situation Jia Ye is in now. After seeing that the Honkai Will did not make any unusual moves, he relaxed his tense body and repeated his thoughts again.

He believed in "equivalent exchange". Perhaps this term was enough for Honkai Will, but it was not enough for Jia Ye. Even if Honkai Will's approach was just relaxing and comfortable for her, as someone who had received such a great favor, Jia Ye believed that she should naturally pay something of equal value as a price.

However, he didn't have such a thing, so he could only choose to use favors instead. Perhaps his favors were not "valuable" now, but if the Honkai Will could really make him the "strongest", then the value of this favor would skyrocket, and he would be qualified enough to repay the favor he received today.

Although he doesn't like to owe others favors, he hates owing others even more.

However, Jiaye seemed to have relaxed too early. Two consecutive words of "sister" had already made the Honkai Will go to its head.

"Little Jiaye, be good and give your sister a hug!"

“————??!!!”

"Ah! Stop it, scumbag!!"

The scene was very chaotic for a while, but fortunately, the appearance that Jiaye had imagined for the Honkai Will was between a girl and a young girl, so his psychological trauma did not become more serious.

....This is probably lucky, huh.

Chapter 108 The real adventure begins now!

"Jiaye, have you heard of the system?"

In the pavilion surrounded by many gorgeous red spider lilies, looking at the Honkai Will speaking seriously, Jia Ye, who was sitting in the corner of the pavilion and kept a distance from the Honkai Will, inexplicably felt that the sense of déjà vu of this sentence seemed a bit heavy.

'Young man, have you heard of An——'

"Electronic system?"

Throwing this ridiculous idea out of his mind, Jia Ye asked uncertainly.

"System" itself has many meanings. An organized whole composed of similar things is a system, and an electronic system is also a system.

So Jiaye didn't know which system the Honkai Will was referring to.

"Gaya, don't you read online novels?"

Upon hearing this, Honkai Will was a little surprised.

In this day and age, are there still young people who don’t read online novels?

"I've seen some of it before, but I wasn't interested."

Although part of the reason is that I don’t have enough time to watch it, it’s also true that I’m not interested.

After all, those online novels all have "extraordinary" as the core theme. Even the so-called "daily novels" are mainly about spending ordinary days in an extraordinary way. At least, these are the ones Jiaye has read.

It is understandable that Jia Ye would feel indifferent about this. After all, he is not ordinary. Whether it is birth, talent, strength or experience, he has all the factors that a novel protagonist should have. His sense of reality is too strong. How can he put himself into the protagonist's perspective and fully experience the plot of the novel?

As for those types where the protagonist destroys the world with a wave of his hand, they are too exaggerated and fake, and Jia Ye has even less interest in them.

Besides, wouldn’t it be nice to use your time to read novels, learn more things, and do something else?

"Hmph, then let me explain it to you."

With a proud smile, she raised her hand and snapped her fingers with the will of collapse, and a series of virtual screens suddenly opened in the air. Then she was seen holding a baton that appeared out of nowhere and waving it gently, and the group of screens began to rotate slowly and regularly.

"The so-called system is——"

"So-called systems are like game systems, with functions like leveling up, quests, lotteries, and checking attributes. In online novels, these systems are usually the protagonist's cheats and cheat codes, their reliance on becoming stronger and the core of the entire novel."

Ignoring the Honkai Will that started to glare at him for having the conversation interrupted, Kakuye leaned lazily against Kakuye and explained to him softly.

"This type of novel is called 'system-style' and is a very popular genre in the novel world. Because any unreasonable developments in the plot can be blamed on the system, many people like to write this type of novel. Zha Zha probably brought this up because she wants to use this method to help you complete your transformation."

Ge Jiuye, who recently thought of reading novels to pass the time, has also read many novels with systems as the theme, so her understanding of this kind of thing is not bad. At the same time, because of her vision, she also understood the intention of the Honkai Will.

She didn't intend to object to this. After all, although she hated the Honkai Will, she also understood that she was the only one who would never harm Jiaye.

Of course, nothing is absolute, but Ge Jiuye is confident that even if the Honkai Will really wants to do something, she has a way to stop her.

Because her existence is Jiaye's greatest guarantee.

"Although that was my original plan, it was a bit too cliché, so I thought about adding some other factors."

He glared at Ge Jiuye fiercely, and luckily his Honkai Will did not go out of control. After calming down, he deleted all the screens around him and the baton in his hand, and then sat back in his seat.

"For example, possessing another person and working with the system to assist that person's growth."

"I feel like this will be very troublesome, and possession doesn't mean I have to give up my body, right?"

Staring with a pair of dead fish eyes, Jia Ye was too tired to complain.

The system is too old-fashioned, so adding additional settings and so on may be the so-called margin of strength.

"You only add these factors because you want to see it yourself."

Glancing at the Honkai Will sarcastically, Ge Jiuye said disdainfully.

"Abandoning your body is the most basic operation, but since you don't like it, forget it."

Ignoring Ge Jiuye's words casually, the Honkai Will smiled at Jiaye.

Then she gently stretched out her hand, and under the gaze of Jia Ye and Ge Jiuye, a pure Lycoris radiata without any color quietly bloomed on her slender white palm. It looked very ordinary, but there was a strange charm that made it difficult to look away.

"This is the main body of the system. Its functions include issuing tasks, viewing attribute data, lottery, time travel, etc. You can add any other functions you want later, Jiaye. There is no upper limit."

These four words perfectly demonstrate the heroic spirit of Honkai Will.
