Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

This also indirectly confirms Saki's previous guess; he truly deserves to be called a genius of deduction.

but--

He didn't say it, but the card 【Thousand Faces】...

Do you have to be so sensitive?

Okay, okay, stop being so cute!

Stop being so temperamental!

I'll be her brother!

I will do my job well!

Qi Ji looked at the five-star card in the system interface that was flickering slightly, as if it was throwing a tantrum, and could only try to appease it.

You know what, it actually works pretty well.

After a series of assurances, the compatibility score on the card immediately skyrocketed. It had just dropped by 0.00001, which had made Qi Ji feel quite distressed, but now, in the blink of an eye, it had increased by 20!

This also means that when Sakiji dons the [Mirror Image] armor again, he will be even stronger than before!

Since he could become stronger, Saki's resolve immediately changed.

This is why positive feedback is so important!

When Su Shi saw that her brother had obtained the Echo Fragment, he immediately let her choose first.

A long-lost warmth suddenly welled up in her heart.

It's been so long since I've felt this kind of selfless, pure "love".

In the Thousand Faces family, it seems only her brother would treat her like this.

My brother is the best!

Even now, even though he's my brother who's become a guardian spirit...

Waaaaah, brother, you died so tragically!

Thinking of this, Su Shi couldn't help but secretly weep under her mask.

Of course, the girl will always keep the "woo-woo-woo" sound hidden in her heart.

Qi Ji pointed to the four echo fragments and let Su Shi choose first.

But Su Shi didn't even glance at him, only holding Qi Ji tightly, greedily inhaling his scent.

"Brother, I don't want anything, all I need is my brother."

"real or fake?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Ji was secretly delighted.

I think this little sister is a bit strange at times, but overall she's very sensible!

They're almost as big as his daughter, Xiao Xi!

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

As if afraid the other party would change their mind, as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Ji dragged Su Shi, who was clinging to him like a koala, and instantly appeared in front of the four echo fragments.

The green-quality piece belongs to the Flame lineage, while the other three white-quality pieces belong to the Poisonous Insect lineage, Blood lineage, and Body lineage, respectively.

Qi Ji welcomes all comers!

Because in his vision, his Echo Core should be compatible with all lineages!

However, just as he brought up the system interface and clicked on "enhance," the system notified him that the enhancement had failed.

【Ding! 】

[Insufficient fragment quality!]

Saki was taken aback.

Instead of being disappointed, they became even more excited!

He realized that the core concept he had spent nine years conceiving was indeed more powerful than he had imagined!

Even the initial reinforcement materials have such high quality requirements!

When he reaches perfection, will he still be able to obtain it?

However, in this way, these few echo fragments are useless to Qi Ji.

He immediately and generously stuffed it into Su Shi's bosom.

"Brother, I...I really don't need it..."

However, he repeatedly refused to comply with the petition.

She felt that she had taken too much from her brother.

Therefore, you can't take any more!

From now on, it's her turn to dedicate everything to her brother!

"Alright, alright, since your brother gave it to you, just take it and be a good boy."

He refused to listen to the world's pleas, yet Qi Ji insisted on giving them to him.

Su Shi initially wanted to refuse, but when she heard her brother say "be obedient," she felt her whole body go limp.

She immediately nodded obediently and sweetly hummed in agreement.

The moment Su Shi accepted the fragment, Qi Ji also stared intently at the [Thousand Faces] card in the system interface. He saw that the compatibility on it had indeed increased again!

Saki was immediately amused.

It just feels like this compatibility is too easy to achieve!

It's so easy!

It shouldn't be long before he can max out his [Mirror Image] second stage!

"Alright, hurry up and absorb the fragments, and also recover your condition."

"Mmm." Su Shi nodded, like a docile kitten.

"..."

Qi Ji stared silently at Su Shi, who was still hanging on his arm.

Su Shi felt her brother's gaze and paused, then asked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

"So, let go... You can't absorb the fragments if you keep sticking to me like this, right?"

"Ah, ah! That's right..."

Beneath the mask, her tear-streaked face flushed for a moment before she quickly let go.

Then, she picked up the four fragments that Qi Ji handed her, but only took the one from the Flame Spectrum, returning the other three.

"Brother, I can only absorb this fragment of flame."

"Can't the Echo of a Thousand Faces be reversed?"

"That's right, but the premise is... I must first master that mimicry."

I currently only know four types of mimicry: fire, wind, ice, and earth.

Therefore, I can only use [Reverse Mimicry] to absorb the fragments corresponding to these four lineages.

At this point in the story, I feel a little embarrassed.

"Brother, am I really useless?"

If it were the older brother, he would definitely be able to master it all.

In that instant, Saki truly felt the heavy dejection in the girl's words.

Saki recalled the efforts Su Shi had made, which he had seen in the video—

She is almost as good as him.

Perhaps no one in this world understands this better than Saki.

Just how difficult is it to maintain that level of training?

Over the course of these nine years, even Saki himself was so exhausted that he wanted to give up several times.

But this girl has persevered until now.

Therefore, in the following sentence, Saki Saku was sincere:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

I've seen all your hard work.

You worked that hard; even I couldn't have done better than you.

He paused, his voice unconsciously softening.

So, stop denying yourself.

You are truly outstanding.

From now on, it's okay to take a break, and you don't have to work so hard.

"Leave the rest to me."

With the system helping him cheat, if Qi Ji activates the "one-click sweep" mode in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, resources are bound to be overflowing.

For example, he couldn't use any of those fragments.

Therefore, it would be a good opportunity for Su Shi to help him use up these excess resources that he doesn't need.

Saki hates waste.

And the "help" he mentioned is exactly what he meant.

However, his words, when they reached the girl's ears, caused her tear ducts to collapse instantly.

What she's wanted to hear all these years...

That's exactly right!

However, her father would only scold her for not trying hard enough.

The mother would only keep saying that if it were a public affair, she could definitely do better.

People who will see her efforts, acknowledge her, comfort her, and encourage her—

not even one.

Except for my brother.

……

……

Chapter 87 He's practically omnipotent! (3.3K)

While Su Shi was absorbing the flame fragments, Qi Ji took the other three fragments and went to the beach.

He held the three fragments in his hands and soaked them in seawater.

In an instant, fine bubbles rose from the surface of the fragments, as if something was being continuously dissolved by the seawater.

But at the same time, a burning, stinging pain shot through Saki's hand—

This was the first time he had felt the erosion of the Sea of ​​Consciousness since entering it.

He hissed, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

Imagine how agonizing it would be to endure such excruciating pain while swimming in the sea of ​​consciousness...

This is nothing more than the so-called death by a thousand cuts, isn't it?

The sea of ​​consciousness is truly terrifying...

what?

You said I have a boat, so I don't need to stay in the sea?
