This is not an MMO game copy

Xia Yan felt a sudden sharp pain on the back of his right hand.

I looked down subconsciously.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

As he watched, a scarlet light appeared from nowhere on the back of his right hand, and like a knife, it pierced him with a needle-like pain.

A red tattoo was engraved on the back of his hand.

"...Ah? I'm the Master?!"

(PS: First of all, I really have a draft saved, you can see the picture above~;

Secondly, my magical changes aren't usually revealed right at the beginning, but there's a buildup process. This chapter, because it's about introducing the general situation of F/Z, will inevitably be watered down for those unfamiliar with the plot. However, from the moment the protagonist enters and obtains the Command Seals, the butterfly effect begins to appear, and it will only get bigger and bigger. Incidentally, an original "Heroic Spirit" will be introduced, completely changing the entire Broken Cup War. That's it.)

Second instance: 29. Matching human-bot teammates... (Update 1)

Command Spell.

Simply put, this is proof of participation in the Holy Grail War, a medium for summoning and contracting Heroic Servants, and three mandatory commands that can take effect on one's own Heroic Servants.

As long as the summoned and contracted Heroic Spirit does not have the class skill [Magic Resistance], or the inherent ability buff [Divinity] which is mostly positive, it will be unable to resist the compulsory orders issued by Command Seals.

This kind of compulsory order can even interfere with the inner workings of the Heroic Spirit itself. Not to mention the serious uses such as enhancing the Heroic Spirit, other less serious uses are also feasible.

For example: turn around and return to the orthodox development of pornographic games.

This isn't a dirty joke. If the target is a female Heroic Spirit, and one whose abilities are generally considered to be at the bottom of the caster class under normal circumstances, it would be theoretically entirely feasible to directly use a Command Seal to stage a dirty game, and start a Heroic plot on the spot...

...The premise is that we have to ignore the fact that even normal female Sorcerer-level Heroic Spirits are at the bottom of the energy parameters of strength and endurance, but at least they will have D or E grades. The ability parameter levels of D and E have already surpassed the standards that normal humans can achieve. Even a magician cannot reach the lowest E grade unless he is good at and proficient in spells that enhance physical fitness.

In other words, even if a Master who overestimates his own capabilities uses Command Seals to start a yellow-yellow/// plot, the ending is nothing more than being drained of his magicka by a one-sided replenishment, or being pinched off (seriously).

And the above words are not just a joke.

Because there was a certain unlucky female sorcerer who, although she did not encounter any of the anime segments, had her crazy master use command seals to cripple her strength that was enough to rival that of a 'magician'. As a result, in a certain branch line of F/SN, when she was having a magic duel with another master, not only did she fail to immediately deal with this master who was not even in the first tier among modern magicians, but in the end she was knocked to the ground by the other master with Bajiquan.

Therefore, excluding the improper usage in the Huangyouli/// anime plot, the three absolute commands of the Command Seals are a kind of check and balance deterrence from the Master to the Servants, and are also the qualification certificate for being allowed to summon and drive Heroic Spirits in the Holy Grail War.

However, there is a limit to the number of Command Spells in a Holy Grail War.

This is also the reason why Xia Yan swore.

In his impression, in a normal Fuyuki Holy Grail War, apart from the magicians of the three great families who each had a guaranteed quota to participate in the war, the other Masters participating in the war would normally have to arrive in Fuyuki City before they could obtain the Command Seals issued by the Greater Holy Grail before the Holy Grail War officially began.

The Romanian Holy Grail War is similar.

Without the Three Great Families, Danic, who had kidnapped the Greater Holy Grail decades ago, locked all seven summoning slots to the Thousand Worlds Tree before the Holy Grail War officially began. He also summoned the Grand Duke of the Spear Class in advance and wiped out the fifty magicians specialized in combat who were sent from the Clock Tower to suppress the rebellion, leaving only one survivor who was deliberately let go to report back.

Afterwards, the Clock Tower chose to hire unaffiliated magicians to participate in the Romanian Holy Grail War, which was divided into the Red and Black camps because the Thousand Worlds Tree monopolized seven summoning spots and the Holy Grail added seven more spots for the sake of fairness.

However, the unaffiliated magicians employed by the Clock Tower must also come into the radiation range of the Romanian Holy Grail War before they can be selected by the Greater Holy Grail to cast Command Spells.

This qualification screening is usually within a certain range, with priority given to the magician's level. The higher the magic power and magic level, the more likely it is to win the bid. If there are not enough magicians, the conditions will be lowered to select those with magic power and magician qualifications, such as those who have magicians in their ancestors or those who are born with potential.

For example, the C-rank Marshal Master Ryunosuke Ameyū in F/Z, because his ancestors were magicians, even though he himself did not know magic, there were no other candidates in Fuyuki City. After the other six summoning spots had been issued to the corresponding participants, he was chosen as one of the masters to make up the numbers.

Now a Command Seal is engraved on the back of his hand.

In other words, in the original plot of F/A, the original candidate for the qualification of a Master in the Red and Black camps was eliminated.

So to say……

"Damn, the red team is missing one person now?"

"No, why was I chosen?"

"I'm not a Type-Moon magician?"

Xia Yan looked at the bright red tattoo on the back of his right hand with an uneasy expression.

He really didn't understand why he would lose a qualification?

He, a cultivator, and a magician are not from the same system.

Or is it that the uncontaminated Holy Grail in the F/A world line is judged by personal strength?

After all, if we consider strength alone, even though he, a cultivator, was injured and had lost his flying sword, he was indeed stronger than those magicians in the red camp who were knocked down by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

But as an outsider who 'traveled' to the Romanian Holy Grail War, one of his greatest advantages is his foresight about the plot, but now the plot has become a mess before it even begins.

"Wait a minute, even if everything goes haywire, it doesn't matter. I still have intelligent teammates..."

Xia Yan took a deep breath and calmed himself down from the sudden change of 'obtaining the master's identity'. Moreover, after entering this 'copy' world, the original plot would sooner or later change with the intrusion of an outsider like him. He had anticipated this, and now the change was just ahead of schedule.

On second thought, with the help of intelligent teammates, he could summon an additional Heroic Spirit Servant. Even if he was only forced to obtain the Command Seals and had no idea how to draw the Heroic Spirit Summoning Circle, it still had more advantages than disadvantages for him.

"...By the way, where's my intelligent teammate?!"

In Xia Yan's memory, players choose intelligent teammates to go into the dungeon together. After entering the dungeon, they can see the intelligent teammates, and they will follow the players throughout the process.

He was now in a room, with a wall of windows in front of him, and no other figure in his sight.

Smart teammates are about to emerge.

So, Xia Yan turned around with great anticipation and looked back... Behind him, a girl who was dressed a bit like the witch from HP, with long gray hair and blue-purple eyes, looked at him expressionlessly, like a highly realistic doll.

Image: "Human-Robot Teammates", Location: "Images/1736142124-100424595-112528876.jpg"

"what?"

Xia Yan opened his mouth unconsciously.

He looked at the expressionless girl.

He glanced away again at the room.

After confirming again and again that there was no other person in the shadows.

Xia Yan fell into a long silence, staring silently at the expressionless white-haired girl who looked like a puppet, or a human-machine NPC.

My mind is filled with a series of questions.

What about the Ghost King as a tank?

Where is the incense of the fort mage?

What about Hehuan, the melee assassin?

What about Lingxi, the wet nurse?

Why isn't the smart teammate NPC a sect character in that MMO?

Why is there only one smart teammate instead of a full five-person team?

The system is screwing up??????

Thousands of words finally merged into one sentence and were blurted out by Xia Yan.

"This isn't Xlu's system! This is so unreliable and so crappy it's out of this world, damn it."

(PS: A word of warning, there is no heroine in this book. I repeat, there is no heroine. The intelligent teammates are indeed just simple human-machines, but they can have sex with the opposite sex. Anyway, you have to wait until this volume is finished.)

Second instance: 30. Intelligent teammate NPC who will not resist (2nd update)

Q: If you traveled through time and gained a system, where would you want your system to come from?

Answer: XLu, preferably a system with XLu fantasy themes.

XLu's systems are often the most dedicated, and XLu's fantasy-themed systems are the best. Even a pig can soar into the sky in a short period of time with the help of XLu's fantasy-themed systems. It is hard to say whether it can achieve the so-called "transcendence", but there is definitely no problem in proving the truth.

So, where does the most difficult system come from?

This is hard to say.

It mainly depends on the degree of demand for the system by the parties involved.

But it is certain that unreliable systems that are disappointing and fail to perform well usually come from some pigeonhole.

"..."

Xia Yan experienced what would happen if the system was unreliable - there was no smart teammates from the MMO game sect characters that were promised, but just like the original MMO game, the "copy" was marked with the option of "Smart Teammate" to commit pig-killing scams. Now, they couldn't even put together a standard five-man team of a footman, and only sent an NPC who didn't look like he was from the cultivation system.

Although she is beautiful and pleasing to the eye, the white hair also hits the strike zone.

But does he need an eye-catching vase?

Do not!

He needs a ghost king who can resist, fight and suck blood for the team as the front row.

You need a Fenxiang with violent output and fierce firepower, and a Hehuan with ethereal skills and continuous output.

He also needs Lingxi, who can both heal and protect himself, to help heal his unhealed injuries.

With the four above plus his Qingyun, even if he faces the Little Sun, who has the strongest stats and Noble Phantasm among the Heroic Spirits appearing in F/A, he is not completely without a chance.

At worst, I can find an opportunity to try to remove the heel, and see if I can rely on the characteristics of the system to get the shield on the heel side that can restrain the little sun's ultimate move as a dropped item.

Or, just ignore the little sun and the heel, and find an opportunity to block the door and behead Amakusa Shiro Tokisada.

But now all the plans and ideas have come to nothing.

And after a long silence.

"Ugh."

Xia Yan sighed.

At this point, he had no choice but to take a look at the system sent him.

What exactly is the intelligent teammate NPC?

Then, Xia Yan began to carefully examine the expressionless white-haired girl in front of him, who looked like a doll. His eyes swept over the large witch hat on her head, the black robe coat on her body, the white shirt and black skirt underneath, the yellow ribbon at the collar, and the pendant hanging on the left side of her chest.

Especially after noticing that the pendant was a star-shaped brooch.

"I seem to have some impression?"

Xia Yan vaguely felt that the intelligent teammate NPC in front of him looked familiar. He was sure that he had seen it in the Ninth Art Work before the world line changed and traveled through time. It was just that after it changed from a flat paper man to a three-dimensional image in three-dimensional space, he could not connect it to a specific object for a while.

But he quickly found a character with a corresponding image from his memory, and the characteristics of the character's appearance and clothing settings happened to match the white-haired girl in front of him.

"Irena?"

Xia Yan asked the girl:

"Gray Witch Irena, is that you?"

The name he mentioned is the heroine of the animated and manga-adapted road-style light novel "Witch's Journey".

"..."

But the girl did not respond, still staring at him expressionlessly like a highly realistic doll.

Seeing this, Xia Yan frowned, and a guess emerged in his mind. He walked around the white-haired girl in front of him and walked towards the door on the other side.

The room was not very spacious. Xia Yan only took about ten steps to reach the closed door, then turned around and looked back.

He saw the white-haired girl following him without saying a word, standing quietly behind him, her face still expressionless, giving him a feeling of being in a horror movie.

But Xia Yan did not feel any fear. Instead, his previous guess became more confirmed. He then raised his right hand, reached out to the girl, and stroked her cheek.

Then, a burst of

The smooth and silky touch came over him, and he couldn't help but caress it a few times, but the frivolous action did not bring about disgust or resistance from the girl.

This made Xia Yan's behavior even bolder. He no longer just stroked the girl's cheek, but moved his hand down along her silky skin, brushed across her velvety neck, slid over the collar of her white shirt, and passed along the clothes in the middle of the steamed bun in front of her.

At this time, the girl finally reacted, with a faint blush on her cheeks, but she did not get angry and slap his offending hand away. She was still expressionless as always, giving people the feeling that her shyness at the moment was just a "set" response, as creepy as the uncanny valley effect.

"You are Irena!"

Xia Yan stared at the girl's calm eyes. His right hand stopped moving downwards and stopped under the star-shaped brooch. He pressed and kneaded her left breast through the fabric of her white shirt. However, this rude move did not bring about any actual response except for the blush on the girl's cheeks spreading all the way to her ears.

"Are you restrained from speaking? Or are you limited to just necessary 'reactions'?"

"..."

"It seems to be the latter."

As Xia Yan spoke, he took a step forward and stood right in front of the girl. His left hand naturally went around her waist, holding her in his arms and stroking her from her back all the way down.
