Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

This was the first time in Saki's life that he had donned his armor.

He felt his raging inner energy surging across his body, bringing him an unprecedented sense of power.

You're in great shape!

Enough with the nonsense!

With a flick of his toes, Qi Ji shot out of the small boat like a cannonball!

It rushed straight towards the world.

Before the various attacks from the afterimage could land, he darted over like a phantom and swept the girl up in his arms.

Then, with a slight wave of his hand, the lens on his arm immediately flew off.

Transforming into dozens of streaks of light, they precisely targeted the enemy!

The afterimage was scratched by the lens, resulting in either death or serious injury.

They seemed to realize that this suddenly appearing creature was not to be trifled with, and after hesitating for a moment, they all turned and ran away!

But Sakiji would never allow such a thing.

You think you can just leave before you even got any loot?

Stop making your brother Ji laugh!

Qi Ji clenched his fist, the hand that had been holding Su Shi, towards the group of scattering elephants.

The group of remaining elephants suddenly stiffened.

The next second, countless sharp rays of light erupted from within their bodies—

They were tiny lenses that had previously been embedded in their bodies!

The light tore through from the inside out, and in no time, the remaining images exploded one after another.

The third-tier leader struggled a little longer, but only for a short time—

It held on until it let out a mournful cry, and that was all.

The next moment, it exploded again!

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty remaining elephants, including a third-tier lower-level leader, were wiped out!

Qi Ji felt better than ever before!

turn out to be--

Is this the power of wearing armor?

Even a small attempt has yielded many pleasant surprises!

After his initial excitement, Qi Ji didn't forget to scan the battlefield and immediately estimate the drop rate.

However, it was discovered that his drop rate was extremely low.

It feels like there's mold in it...

Qi Ji looked down at Su Shi in his arms and seriously suspected that this guy was affecting his drop rate.

Apart from the leading third-tier afterimage which dropped a green Echo Fragment, the remaining thirty-odd second-tier afterimages combined only dropped three white fragments...

The drop rate is less than one in ten.

Moreover, not a single [Circuit Book] has been released!

Of course, the "color" mentioned above is actually the quality color displayed by the fragment after Qi Ji activates the "system perspective", not the actual color.

The true color of the fragments is mostly determined by their genealogical attributes.

Like that green fragment, which appears to emit a "green light" from the system's perspective, but in reality, it is a red fragment.

This also means that, unlike other Echoers who have to physically sense the fragments to discern their quality, Qi Ji doesn't need to go through all that trouble. He can determine the value of a fragment simply by looking at it from afar.

……

All the remaining traces have been dealt with; it's safe now.

Qi Ji then pried open the hands that were tightly holding him in his arms and casually threw the latter to the ground.

He was afraid that when he went to collect the spoils later, if he held Su Shi in his arms, and the echo of this guy in his arms resonated with those fragments, causing the fragments to fly towards her on their own, wouldn't that be awkward?

Although the probability is extremely low, according to the book, it is only possible to encounter such an event if the attributes are extremely compatible, which is considered a stroke of incredible luck.

But this guy's lineage is, after all, "Thousand Faces," possessing multiple attributes of mimicry.

Saki is a cautious person, just to be on the safe side.

He can't possibly rush over here, save this girl, and then have to work for her for nothing, can he?

However, when Saki abandoned his story and eagerly wanted to see what lineage those fragments belonged to...

He took a step, but found his feet were a little heavy.

I took another step forward, and then I heard the sound of something rubbing against the sand.

Saki suddenly turned around.

Then, he discovered that the masked girl was clinging tightly to his ankle and refusing to let go.

His body left a long trail on the sand.

"???"

No, damn it, are you okay?

While a question mark appeared on his forehead, Saki also realized that his "illness" seemed to have really been cured.

Now, facing the judgment of the world, he has finally regained his "normal mindset".

I remember on the day of the competition, after seeing this guy's face under the mask, I always felt an unusual sense of unease...

Even his image would occasionally flash through her mind.

But Saki has always claimed that he is not interested in beautiful women!

This made him think there was something wrong with him...

Fortunately, the symptoms seem to have subsided.

Thinking back carefully, it seems like I felt much better after I got home that day, right?

Saki was relieved.

Otherwise, if it happens a few more times...

If the comments section saw this, they would probably criticize him for having a small head that controls his big head and for being unable to move when he sees a beautiful woman!

This can really affect his popularity!

……

Chapter 85 Brother, brother, brother, brother, brother, brother...

However, while Qi Ji was normal at this moment, Su Shi looked abnormal no matter how you looked at him!

She clung to Saki's legs and wouldn't let go...

Even after being dragged several steps, they would hold on tightly...

Qi Ji frowned, struggled to pull his foot out of Su Shi's hand, and took a few steps to the side to keep his distance.

Just as he was wondering what was wrong with this guy, the next moment, the other party did something even more perplexing!

"Brother, brother, brother, brother, brother, brother..."

As soon as Su Shi saw Qi Ji walk away, she didn't even bother to stand up properly. Instead, she kept calling out "Brother" and crawled on all fours towards Qi Ji on the beach...

It's starting to look a bit like an aberrant species...

This startled Saki!

No, why are you calling me "brother"?

Your brother is dead!

I am Saki, the one you hate the most!

Qi Ji couldn't understand why Su Shi had suddenly gone crazy.

Could it be because of the armor he's wearing now?

But my armor set has been optimized by the system!

He had previously asked the system if using the [Thousand Faces] lineage's armor would allow the Thousand Faces family to recognize him.

The system told him to rest assured!

They say they've done visual optimizations, and that it's guaranteed to be completely different from the one they've released.

After using it, Qi Ji also felt that the system was indeed reliable.

How can anyone compare to how handsome he is when he's fully armed?

The two outfits placed together look like two completely unrelated appearances!

Furthermore, the characteristics of wearing armor are completely different!

Because Saki had no echo of [Mimicry], his fighting style after activating [Mirror Man] was completely different from that of the Thousand Faces Clan!

They look different, have different characteristics, and fight differently!

Then who can still lie through their teeth and say that they are wearing the same armor?

Therefore, Saki calmly analyzed—

Su Shiluan calling him "brother" could not possibly be because of the armor he was wearing.

Why is that?

Qi Ji couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

What if the other person is simply acting crazy?

He's just playing a character with a thousand faces, but he's not actually a thousand faces.

Saki thought of her younger sister at home...

He has a younger sister!

He immediately decided to take a step back and keep his distance from the lawsuit.

However, Su Shi climbed very quickly.

Hizaki's half-step retreat was faster than his own!

In a flash, the girl climbed up to him and looked up at him.

He knelt down and gripped Saki's hand tightly.

Qi Ji was using the [Mirror Image] armor for the first time, and his control wasn't very smooth yet. Surprisingly, the girl's action automatically triggered a counterattack...

Su Shi's small hand was instantly scratched and bleeding from the lens, but she seemed completely unaware.

"Brother, please!"

do not leave Me!

Don't leave me again!

I……

I can do anything!!!

"???"

The handsome features on the face beneath the mask of Qi Ji suddenly crumpled up.

I was taken aback by the weighty weight of the other person's words...

He immediately wanted to tell her that he was not her brother.

No, it's not!
