Offer a savior to the infinite world!

After roughly counting the number of things he owned, Lin Yi let out a light breath and stretched lazily.

There are 19 days left until the next mission begins.

These are pretty much all you need to prepare by then.

Speaking of which, Kamijou Touma said that the second mission of the savior, that is, the final inspection mission, is likely to be carried out in a world where order has collapsed. In other words, it is likely to be a post-apocalyptic wasteland environment, a world where the moral rationality of the normal world can no longer restrain anyone.

What is certain is that the mission difficulty will increase, and the hazard level will most likely be at the second level, that is, the Vlam (candlelight) level.

At this level, Lin Yi, an F- fighter, cannot take on the main combat mission. He will most likely only take on auxiliary missions, while the main combat power will be taken care of by other rescuers. From this point of view, it is probably similar to the previous mission.

But even so, he must find a way to strengthen his combat effectiveness. After all, the situation he faces is more complicated than that in Black Lake Town, and he must be prepared to deal with it.

"You are well prepared. I wish Mr. Lin Yi a successful return."

Iino Miko watched Lin Yi sorting these things and waited quietly until he finished before speaking to him with a smile.

"It's still a long way from the start of the mission. Saying this now always feels like setting a goal."

Lin Yi complained casually, then looked at the graceful AI assistant girl standing next to him.

The system assistants that Tanjiro and Suzuran brought with them before all had physical bodies.

Speaking of which, I haven't asked my assistant whether I should apply for a physical body for her. I always feel that she might be a little resistant to creating a physical body for me. Well, I'm not sure why. The intelligence level of this assistant is no different from that of humans. She is the type who will hide her little secrets.

However, it is better to have a physical body, after all, a beautiful girl assistant that you can see and touch is definitely more pleasing to the eye than a paper man, right?

"Speaking of which, it's quite tiring for me to do all these sorting tasks and other things by myself. How about applying for entity shaping for you? Although it may be a bit too much for you, many things can be much easier if there are more people to help. How about it?"

After thinking about his wording for a while, Lin Yi looked at the girl next to him and gave his suggestion.

"Hey, um, is that so? Well, my job is indeed to help Mr. Lin Yi..."

As expected, Lin Yi's attitude of only talking about work made it difficult for the girl to refute for a moment, and she didn't know how to answer.

Well, if I shape my body, the possibility of being seen by other saviors and system assistants will become much greater.

There will definitely be rumors by then, saying that another guy got a wife given to him by the system...

Whether it's his own reputation or Mr. Lin Yi's reputation, there will definitely be some problems. There are quite a few people among the Saviors who like gossip. If some of the gossips reach Mr. Lin Yi's ears...

However, I really need to fulfill my responsibilities if Mr. Lin Yi really needs my help...

For a moment, a conflicted expression appeared on Iino Miko's face. The girl stomped her feet lightly, and her body swayed slightly left and right. A strong sense of shaking was pulling back and forth violently at this moment.

"Forget it, there's no need to do this for now. If you prefer to stay in virtual form, Iino, there's nothing wrong with doing this for now."

Then, while the girl was still struggling, Lin Yi waved his hand, indicating very naturally that there was no need to give an immediate answer.

The reason for taking a step back here is not that Lin Yi really intends to back down, but that after the other party has shown this tangled attitude and is caught in a psychological back-and-forth situation, if he backs down again, it will have a corresponding psychological impact on the other party. In this way, when Lin Yi brings up this issue next time, Iino's resistance will be further weakened, and she will be more likely to agree.

But speaking of it, this trick of utilizing psychological changes can actually be used on intelligent AI. The Savior System is really an amazing thing.

"Uh... um, okay..."

As expected, after Lin Yi took the initiative to drop the topic, Iino, who seemed somewhat relieved, had an obviously conflicted look on his face.

As for what problem she was struggling with, Lin Yi had no way of knowing for the time being, but he felt that after some time, if they spent more time together, maybe the girl would take the initiative to tell him?

Then, time began to move step by step towards the moment when the next mission would begin.

Intermission 1-10: Time about to begin

In the next ten days or so, nothing happened that was worthy of special attention.

Lin Yi found a place suitable for fitness training in the Savior Community, a training ground with amazing technology that can regulate the flow of time. It has various areas such as shooting ranges for gun training and combat training venues, and the price is very affordable.

As for the source of money, before passing the probation period and obtaining the currency of the Savior Community from the Savior System after completing the mission, Lin Yi could only choose the simplest and clearest way, which was to work. Together with the one-armed girl Kanbe Haruka he met before, he worked in the shop of the Savior Kamijou Touma, and exchanged daily wages for training time in the training ground.

Speaking of which, although it looks like a remote little shop deep in an alley, I didn’t expect that there would be so many customers.

During these ten days, Lin Yi had seen at least thirty girls with short brown hair who looked exactly the same come in to order food expressionlessly. Occasionally, he would see a white-haired guy whose gender was indistinguishable, bringing a tea-drinking girl in to order food. There was also a one-armed arrogant man with fiery red hair, and a strange girl with long hair who was petite but looked like an uncle. There was also a yellow-haired gangster-like man hugging a woman with long dark brown hair, a woman dressed like a zombie from a Hong Kong movie, and a revealing woman in a bandage outfit, an old man who looked like a skeleton, a man with glasses and beach pants with a strange accent, a tall woman with a very impressive figure wearing asymmetrical clothes, and a man with a barcode on his face who was obviously hostile to Kamijou Touma for some reason, and so on.

It can be seen that these people are very familiar with the owner of this store, Kamijou Touma, which is why they come to this store again and again to dine or buy flowers.

In addition to the girl with an eye patch who always sits at the counter and only moves when customers buy flowers, calling herself Othinus, there is also a petite silver-haired girl who often appears around the kitchen door, trying to steal a bite or two while Kamijou Touma is cooking, or rocking a kitten in her arms.

Sometimes, you can see a woman with slightly longer hair and brown hair coming into the store. Well, she looks very similar to some of the previous customers, but generally speaking, she is a more mature woman with brown hair. She seems to have a good relationship with Kamijou Touma and will make some intimate gestures. There is also a woman with long golden hair and a good figure. This one seems to be the boldest among all. She will stick close to Kamijou Touma without paying any attention to the eyes of the people around her, and then she will make a few words to anger the silver-haired girl and the brown-haired woman, and then the store will become chaotic.

Every time this happened, Othinus would leisurely eat melon seeds and watch the show. Even if Kamijou Touma asked her for help, she would refuse coldly.

How should I put it? Maybe this is the price of having a harem?

In short, this period of working life has brought Lin Yi a lot of knowledge and fun.

It is also worth mentioning that Tanjiro himself seems to be doing some kind of training in his own universe, so he can't stay in the Savior Community for a long time like Lin Yi to work and go to the training ground. In this case, Lin Yi gave part of the training funds he earned from working to the other party, so that Tanjiro can have the opportunity to find time to come to the community and use the time control equipment in the training ground to get more time for training.

Tanjiro did explain to Lin Yi the breathing method and sword skills called [Water Breathing] and [Fire God Kagura], but after trying them a little, Lin Yi found that he did not seem to have the talent to practice such moves. No, it is not accurate to say that, it should be said that he does not have enough talent. If he has enough time to practice, he should be able to master this ability like Tanjiro, but it is likely to take ten or even twenty years, which is meaningless in the face of the current savior mission.

How can I describe this feeling? It's probably like something is missing in my body, so it can only be slowly filled with time.

Unfortunately, even with the help of the time control device, it can only extend the time from ten days to two months at most. Lin Yi's physical fitness has reached its limit and there is no way to achieve any effective results. Therefore, the later he gets, the more opportunities he gives to Tanjiro, so that the boy who has been working hard to become stronger can get more time to practice. Tanjiro has expressed his gratitude many times and has been looking for ways to thank Lin Yi, but because of the current time constraints and the inconvenience of the inspection stage, although Tanjiro really wants to do something for Lin Yi, he has not found the opportunity yet.

“Huh, 498,499,500, , …”

He holds the horizontal bar with one hand, holds a 50-kilogram iron block with the other hand, and has 100-kilogram iron chains and iron blocks hanging on his feet.

Lin Yi did 500 one-arm pull-ups continuously, then changed hands and did another pull-ups before falling to the ground, completing his warm-up for the day.

He took off his shirt, wiped off the sweat and stretched his body. His 1.93-meter-tall body revealed a compact structure in the sun, which made Iino, who had just returned to his hotel room after finishing some handover issues related to the decoration, feel a little suffocated for a moment.

"Mr. Lin Yi, please put on your clothes..."

The AI ​​girl covered her cheeks with her hands, but still couldn't help secretly observing Lin Yi's body through her fingers, and protested in a low voice.

"Sorry, sorry. I'm just doing some warm-up exercises now. After all, the mission is about to begin."

Without paying attention to the girl beside him, Lin Yi, who was only wearing long pants with his upper body exposed, raised his legs and easily raised them to a level perpendicular to the ground. Then he bent down again, stretched out his hands to hug his calves, and the muscles on both sides of his back bulged.

Stretch out your hand, punch, raise your leg and kick.

Only after completing a whole set of activities did Lin Yi finally breathe a sigh of relief, then picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off his body, then put his clothes back on, put on the prepared bulletproof vest, carried all the necessary equipment and emergency items with him, put them in a backpack, and prepared to set off.

[Please prepare yourself, Savior Lin Yi. The Savior main mission will start in 29 minutes and 59 seconds.]

In my mind, the sound of the Savior System upgrading rang out.

"Well, it looks like it's almost time to set off."

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that he should be a little nervous at this time, but he didn't have that feeling at all. Instead, he had great expectations for what kind of world the next mission would take place in.

"I hope you can return victoriously. Although the personality module will be temporarily shut down, I will always be by your side."

Iino Miko waved her little fist and spoke seriously to the savior who was almost half a meter taller than her and with whom she had been living for more than half a month.

"Well, as a personal system assistant, I will do my best to provide system functional services to you as a savior, ensuring that no matter what happens, you can return here smoothly and safely. Yes, that's right."

But then, as if she felt that her words carried some ambiguous meaning, the girl's cheeks blushed slightly, and she coughed lightly before continuing.

Wow, so that's why the anthropomorphic system can automatically restore things like blushing. I always feel that I am so out of control.

The girl here was complaining secretly in her heart, but Lin Yi on the other side didn't care too much about this matter.

The decoration of the new house has been completed, and we will be ready to move in when I finish my mission and return.

Well, it's quite interesting to live with a bunch of ghost roommates. According to Iino, these spirits formed a strong yin magnetic field in the house. They survived until now with this special "field", and their existence has changed.

Although they can be eliminated, considering that these spirits do not intend to harm people, and may not even realize the tragedy caused by their existence, Lin Yi decided not to deal with them for the time being, but to try to find a way to restore their sanity and thinking. This can not only restore and clarify what happened in the past and determine whether there are any issues that need to be investigated, but also allow these spirits to get out of their confused state and have a chance to make up for their regrets.

This is roughly the idea, even though it may end up being wishful thinking, at least you won’t know the answer until you try, right?

[Transmission will begin in 30 seconds, please be ready, rescuer]

Half an hour was quickly coming to an end, and the system notification sounded again.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, just stood there quietly waiting for time to pass.

[Current countdown 10,9...3,2,1, transmission begins]

The sight fell into darkness the next moment.

Only the solemn and serious voice of the Savior System continued to ring in my ears.

[The currently loaded universe has been locked]

[The currently loaded planet and area have been established]

[Confirmed number of people loaded: 4]

[Currently loaded task level has been confirmed]

[Confirmed current fluctuation level: Hysteria level (hallucination level)]

[Confirm the current disturbance level: Wave level]

[Confirmed current hazard level: Vlam level (candlelight level)]

[Friendly identification capability is now online]

[Mission Objective: Eliminate abnormal technological creations that are out of the current civilization node]

[The current rescue mission has begun! ]

Prologue: Hey, it’s starting~

Anno 2309, more than two hundred years after the end of the nuclear war.

No one remembers the once glorious human civilization. All the glory it once had can no longer remain in this broken land today, or in the people who are struggling to survive in this polluted world.

It was a period of chaos and darkness that lasted for more than two hundred years.

The years when all humanity was completely wiped out, leaving only the instincts of bestial beasts.

Until now, there is still no way to regain the order that once belonged to this civilization.

However, at least some things are gradually changing, although it is difficult to say whether they are good or bad.

People gradually adapted to today's polluted world, starting from building small towns, then cities, and finally countries.

The lost technology in the ruins was gradually retrieved. Although it could not return to the past, it was at least much better than the old days of eating raw meat and drinking blood. Some technological products that were too advanced to be interpreted and studied could not be interpreted and studied, but they could still be used because they were not damaged. Therefore, they brought a lot of deformed development to the established country. This new order was barbaric and cruel. Slaves, laborers, assets, landowners... backward and not so backward things were mixed together, twisted, squirming little by little and gradually developing.

People living in this world today can be roughly divided into three types.

One of them is called a freak, a monster that can no longer be considered human in the eyes of many people. It is said that they were once normal people, but they have undergone serious mutations in a world full of radiation pollution. These freaks are very large, basically around 1.9 to 2.5 meters tall, strong and clumsy, savage and bloodthirsty, with horrible twists and turns, strong desire to reproduce, and the intelligence that humans should have is completely lost in them, so they are no longer considered human.

The only role of deformed bodies in the world today is to be responsible for consumable operations in heavily polluted factories and mining in high-radiation areas after implanting brain control devices. Severe mutations make it difficult for them to live past fifty, and these heavy jobs have reduced their average lifespan to less than thirty. After they die, the festering tumors and deformed bodies are usually crushed by factory owners and mine owners and mixed into feed to feed their companions. Anyway, although these things look a bit like humans, they are no longer humans, but just consumable animals, right?

In contrast, the situation of the Transformers is different. Many people say that Transformers are the same as Deformers. In fact, they are all humans who have been mutated by radiation. However, despite the fact that there is a deformity rate of more than 70%, the intelligence of Transformers can reach the normal human level. In addition, in order to live a normal life, Transformers have developed a series of technical means to replace flesh and blood with machines.

The bodies of these cyborgs are more or less integrated with machines, using solid and powerful technology to replace the distorted and deformed parts of their bodies. Among them, some cyborgs even completely replaced all parts of themselves except their brains with machines. This kind of people are called "Meat Brains". As the name suggests, their only brains are made of meat.

Initially, the technology of cyborgs was usually developed by themselves, and although there were many clumsy aspects, it was still developing overall. However, with the establishment of the new order, companies gradually monopolized this aspect, and those mechanical parts that could have been used for more than a hundred years and accompanied the cyborgs to the grave began to become very gorgeous and exquisite with various strange functions, but they would start to have problems after more than a decade or even a few years, and had to spend a lot of money on long-term maintenance or replacement.

The company calls it progress, but who knows what it really is.

Anyway, for those cyborgs at the top of the company, for those cyborgs who enjoy a wonderful life that the modified humans can't even imagine, they won't be in the mood to empathize with those modified humans who can't afford the maintenance money and can only survive in the pain brought about by the failure of their mechanical modified parts.

Cyborgs, this was originally the name given to them by some transformers, but later it gradually gained recognition from everyone.

It is said that when the nuclear war broke out, the ancestors of these cyborgs, the top global billionaires, found a strategy to survive.

They isolate themselves in fully enclosed nutrition chambers, and completely entrust their flesh and blood bodies to mechanical maintenance, allowing them to live healthily in a sterile environment for 150 to 200 years.

Their consciousness is remotely linked to a prosthesis, a powerful body with a bionic structure that looks like flesh and blood on the outside but is actually completely mechanical on the inside, with bionic organs and nerves, so that they can experience life freely without worrying about any contamination.

These people have been controlling the entire world since their ancestors, before the nuclear war that destroyed everything.

But now everything has collapsed, leaving only the reborn barbaric order. They still rule everything, and still have not brought any good changes to the world.

This is the reality for Yasor, who once believed that everything would get better, but eventually became desperate and embarked on the path of rebellion.

"Toga City, Radiation Town, what are the people from the Prosthetics Company doing here?"

Under the gloomy sky, in the red desert, in the ruins of the city, Yasor unfolded the virtual map on his mechanical prosthesis, frowned at the things marked for him by his comrades who went forward to investigate.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing. Jie Lin said that this group of people are probably treasure hunters. They probably dug up some technology from the old ruins in Radiation Town, and they can't take it away, so they sent people to build a research institute here."

A bearded man came forward with a strange-shaped gun on his back, looked at Yasor with a serious expression, and said to their leader.
