Start daily card draw from Genshin Impact

“After all…” Although he knew that San Yueqi and the others couldn’t see him, Yu Qi still showed a gentle smile on his face: “Mei, Nashida, and the others are not in this ‘game’ at all. The so-called ‘plot’ is completely different from what we have experienced!”

"Really?" Looking up with a hint of uneasiness and expectation, March 7's eyes were particularly bright.

"Of course!"

"Really? That's good!" A big smile instantly appeared on his face, and Sanyueqi breathed a sigh of relief: "We said it before, this girl is so special, how could she be an 'NPC'!"

Seeing that San Yue Qi seemed to have let go of his anxiety, Yu Qi also smiled slightly and focused his attention on the scene in front of him: "Okay, let's deal with the enemies here first, and we can talk about other things later."

"Ok!"

After looking around, Yu Qi quickly determined how to play this "game": "This should be a turn-based game. Dan Heng, Xing, San Yueqi, you guys try to see if you can attack now?"

"Well, no!"

"I can't move. There's an irresistible force restraining me!"

"Me too...eh?" Xing was stunned when she was halfway through her words. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Kafka on the other side and said hesitantly, "I think I can control her to attack the enemy?!"

"Really?" Nodding in understanding, Yu Qi had already determined that Xing was probably playing the role of both the 'protagonist' and 'player'.

"Wait a minute, in this case, my identity is not... a display screen, right?" His face darkened, and Yu Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Good fellow, the perspective can't be moved, let alone the game character... Damn, those pictures I saw before, couldn't they be Xing's "perspective"? Is it so outrageous?"

"Hmm!" Xing nodded as his eyes fell on Kafka, and Kafka's character responded by shaking the long sword in his hand: "I seem to be able to control her to use normal attacks and a combat skill? In addition, there seems to be an ability called 'finishing move', but it requires a certain amount of energy to be accumulated before it can be used!"

"Well, if you put it that way, it seems that we are the same!" After carefully feeling his own situation, Sanyueqi tilted his head: "Normal attack is archery, combat skills add shields to people, and the finishing move is a rain of arrows of six-phase ice?"

"The same!" Dan Heng nodded and frowned. He felt more than San Yueqi. The three attacks he could use were only a part of his real strength. There were many moves that he clearly remembered how to use, but his body was simply unable to use them!

"Okay, normal attack, skills, ultimate move... Tsk, familiar settings!"

Shaking his head, Yu Qi said: "Xing, control Kafka to attack first and see!"

"Ok!"

Xing naturally wouldn't choose to refuse, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Yu Qi always felt that there seemed to be a hint of...excitement in Xing's voice?

It was as if being able to control Kafka's body made her very excited!

"Just kill them all~" With a soft moan, Kafka swung the sword and cut horizontally. The silk threads mixed with thunder flashed by, and the white "blood bars" above the heads of the opposing legion members were almost instantly emptied and turned into nothingness in a flash of lightning.

The screen flashed, and Yu Qi's vision returned to the space station again, but at the same time, Kafka's figure had turned into a star, and next to her stood Dan Heng with a serious face and San Yueqi who was looking around curiously.

"Hey, we can move freely!" He moved his body comfortably. Although only a few minutes had passed, it was the first time that Sanyueqi felt how happy it was to be able to move freely.

"Xing, Danheng, Sanyueqi, can you still hear me?"

"Sure." Dan Heng raised his head and looked around, frowning slightly: "Is this the landing room of the base cabin?"

His eyes fell on the control device next to the hatch not far away. The bright yellow mark made Xing eager to try.

Fortunately, she managed to control her desire to sneak over and start the plot, and looked up and asked, "So, what should we do next?"

"Hmm~" After a moment's silence, Yu Qi asked, "Try to see if you can summon your character panel or something."

"Uh...is this what you're talking about?" Pointing at the screen that appeared in front of him, Xing fiddled with it casually, and the character images of himself, San Yueqi, and Dan Heng flashed by one by one.

There are many things that seem to be understood but not quite understood, such as light cones, tracks, relics, star souls... some complicated character information makes Xing, who is only one day old, still a baby and has never played a game, a little confused.

On the contrary, San Yueqi and Dan Heng, although they don’t play games very often, can still understand the meaning of these things.

"Yes, that's it!"

Chapter 224 The Birth of the Protagonist

"Light cone equals weapon, relic equals equipment, trace equals skill tree, star soul equals... character fragment?"

Yu Qi smacked his lips and seemed a little speechless: "I can understand everything else, but the key is this Star Soul... In the game, you need to draw a duplicate character to get it, right? What should we do in reality? We can't ask you to really find a way to create another self, right?"

"I'm not sure, but..." Dan Heng had a little doubt and worry in his eyes, and finally shook his head slightly: "I can feel that this star soul should be very important to us. If we can really light it up, then our strength and even the essence of life will be essentially improved."

"Really? Looks like I'll have to study this thing carefully in the future." Looking at Xing who kept circling the room with nothing to do, Yu Qi couldn't help but feel helpless: "Xing, stop wandering around, get ready to leave!"

"Let's finish this plot first. If I'm not mistaken, we should be able to go back by then."

"Oh, okay." With his head tilted cutely, Xing trotted to the hatch and touched the control device casually, and the tightly closed hatch in front of him opened directly.

[Kafka: When did the Antimatter Army become so weak? ]

[???: This is all the troops I can lure here. You don't want this place to be targeted by the main force of the legion, right?]

……

As the few people walked out of the cabin, the words of the dialogue reappeared in front of Yu Qi's eyes. When passing by the portraits of the genius club members in the corridor, looking at the lifelike portraits on the screen, Xing couldn't help but reach out and touch the virtual light screen. Then Kafka and the hacker girl on the other side started to talk about the characters in the portraits.

It seems so leisurely.

"Hey, are these two really here to invade the space station? Why do they feel like they're on a picnic?" San Yue Qi couldn't help but complain as he listened to the voices echoing in his ears.

"In theory, there is no difference." Yu Qi added, also complaining: "For these two star core hunters, the space station without the Black Tower is probably easier than a picnic. At least, they don't have to consider weather factors when invading here."

"Outing~" Tilt your head to look at the surrounding scenery, San Yue Qi suddenly became interested when he heard Yu Qi talking about this: "By the way, it seems that we haven't gone on an outing since we got on the train~ Every time we go on a pioneering journey, Ji Zi and Uncle Yang choose to stay on the train, Dan Heng is a cold-hearted person, and every time we go to a place, we always encounter some troubles..."

As he spoke, San Yue Qi pouted, looking a little aggrieved: "No, the more I think about it, the more unwilling I am!"

"How about, when we get to the next planet, if there's nothing serious, we can go out for a picnic and camping together. It's just right, let's celebrate the perfect completion of your first exploration, Xing and Yu Qi, what do you think?!"

"Uh..." Looking at Sanyueqi and Xing with anticipation, Yu Qi couldn't help but be a little speechless: "I don't have any objection, but I always feel that your statement is just setting a flag. What if the environment of that planet doesn't support picnics and camping?"

"It shouldn't be such a coincidence...right?" His tone didn't seem very convincing. Sanyueqi scratched his head and said, "If that's the case, we can just wait until the next place. Anyway, our pioneering journey is still long, and we can always find an opportunity."

"That's true." Nodding, Yu Qi didn't say anything else.

Of course, what he didn't say was that, according to normal calculations, he should be able to find the "ingredients" he needed at the next destination of the Star Train and then leave this world.

Regarding the picnic and camping...I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time!

After chatting for a while, they soon reached the end of the passage. When Xing opened the hatch, the first thing he saw was a virtual soldier, the Plunderer, with its back to the crowd. San Yue Qi was almost scared to scream.

If it were in the real world, the noise of opening the door alone would be enough to alarm the virtual soldier, but unfortunately this is a game world, and the virtual soldier didn't react at all until Xing quietly got behind it and hit it on the forehead with a stick.

It was another turn-based battle. Although everyone was only level one at the moment, fortunately with Kafka's help, they did not seem to have any difficulty facing the weak soldiers.

"Tsk, it's understandable that Xing has the destiny of destruction, and it's not without reason that Dan Heng has the destiny of hunting, but why am I on the destiny of preservation? Not only can I only add shield, but the shield value is so low..." Looking at Kafka's swift and sharp sword, Sanyueqi couldn't help but complain: "Although I have also embarked on the destiny of preservation in reality, the destiny that I have walked the furthest and am most accustomed to is still the destiny of exploration... Or else the destiny of memory is also fine!"

"I usually only use Six-phase Ice as a shield occasionally, how come it suddenly becomes a way to save my life?"

"Hmm~" Facing San Yue Qi's dissatisfied complaint, Yu Qi hesitated for a moment and replied hesitantly: "Maybe, the game requires it?!"

"what?"

Sensing San Yue Qi's confusion, Yu Qi sorted out his thoughts and explained: "Look, from the perspective of the game, you, Dan Heng, and Xing should be the common protagonist trio. The necessary conditions are that you can resist, fight, and recover health."

"Among them, Star is destruction, and can heal itself through the power granted by the star core. In game terms, this is a group C plus a healer, and Dan Heng is a hunter, and his attacks are generally one-on-one, that is, a single C. And you... Among the four major professions of shield, healer, and auxiliary C, only the shield is more suitable for your ability."

"Well, that's about it!"

Hearing this, San Yue Qi's face fell: "Just because of this reason?! Too outrageous, right? You must have made this up, Yu Qi, Dan Heng, am I right?"

"Hmm..." However, to San Yue Qi's disappointment, Dan Heng nodded after a slight hesitation: "I don't play games very often, but in general games, the novice characters given to players will include these positions."

"so……"

"So..." Xing came over.

"So..." San Yue Qi pointed at himself and said speechlessly: "I just have bad luck?"

"Well, that's understandable." Yu Qi spread his hands and comforted him, "Don't worry, this kind of fate restriction only exists in this game world. It won't be the case when you get outside."

"Outside? If we are outside, will we still have the character attribute panel?" Looking up in confusion, Sanyueqi had a feeling that Yu Qi seemed to have known the inside story of this game world, or the truth behind its appearance.

"Should...should have." Yu Qi didn't explain too much, so San Yue Qi didn't ask any more questions. He just sighed, "If there really is such a character panel, it would be great. It would be much easier to improve the light cone and match the relics. And there are also traces... lighting them up could really help us go further on our destiny, right?"

"I don't know. I'll tell you when the time comes."

After chatting casually for a few minutes, Kafka had already dealt with a lone pawn over there.

The scene changed, and there was another cutscene. Another one was about to launch a sneak attack from behind Kafka... but was stopped by a flash of colorful light. Its figure flashed and turned into pixel particles and disappeared.

"It's not my job to clean up other people's asses." The girl blew a bubble with her slender fingers on the screen and jumped off the table. "Isn't that right, Kafka?"

[Kafka: Okay, okay, where did you throw it, Silver Wolf? ]

[Silver Wolf: I just typed in the coordinates, no big deal. Are you concerned about the whereabouts of that pawn?]

[Kafka: I don’t care~ But no matter how many times I see it, I will always think that your methods are really incredible~]

[Silver Wolf: It's just a modification of real data, a trivial trick not worth mentioning.]

"Ah, I know this person!" Looking at the two people communicating face to face, Sanyueqi clapped his hands fiercely: "She is Silver Wolf, the "legendary" hacker of Punklord, and is also said to be a member of the Star Core Hunters!"

San Yue Qi couldn't help scratching his head. "By the way, according to what you said, we should be the protagonists of this game world, right? Why is the plot of the game always focused on the Star Core Hunters? Where are we and Dan Heng?"

"I'm not sure, but... this should just be a brief introduction. It doesn't mean that the celebrity nuclear hunter is the protagonist of the plot." Dan Heng looked at Xing who had gradually fallen silent since then, and shook his head secretly as if he thought of something.

Naturally, he realized that this plot was actually about what happened in the space station yesterday. Although the game plot and reality could not correspond due to the absence of Yu Qi and the others, some things could not be changed... For example, the birth of a star!

"It should be related to the Star Core Hunter's invasion of the space station this time. However, what about the protagonist..." He couldn't help but glance at Xing again. Dan Heng had an inexplicable look in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Kafka and Silver Wolf's conversation didn't last long, but when the two talked to the end...

[Silver Wolf: Continue along the corridor behind the door on the left, and you will find a room with some "strange items" placed in it.]

[Kafka: Is the "star core" right there? ]

[Silver Wolf: It can tell us where the "star core" is. ]

Xing's body stiffened slightly, with a complicated expression, while Sanyueqi opened his mouth in surprise, looked at Xing, then at Kafka and Silver Wolf, and did not speak for a while.

The dialog box faded away, and Dan Heng looked at the stairs and passages around him that were blocked by gratings, and then looked towards the only unblocked road in the front left.

"Let's go, we should soon be able to see...the purpose of the Star Core Hunter."

With slightly heavy steps, Xing opened the door through the control device, walked through the corridor, and defeated several virtual soldiers who blocked the way. Finally, they arrived at the monitoring room of the space station.

Then there was another series of dialogues. Silver Wolf and Kafka first investigated the surveillance footage and then the storage devices here, but they didn't find anything useful. However, Silver Wolf seemed to have understood something. Standing still, she decisively hacked into all the surveillance systems and soon found the only terminal that was not affected...

[Silver Wolf: Simple and crude but effective. Look, I found it.]

Under the operation of Silver Wolf, a light curtain appeared. Xing, Sanyueqi and Danheng followed Kafka silently, passed through the light curtain, and watched them remove the "star core" that was firmly protected by the protection system.

"This, this is..." Looking up and looking around, Sanyueqi's gaze finally fell on Xinglian.

She had already recognized it. This was the room where she, Yu Qi, Dan Heng and the others found Xing. Combined with the fact that the black tower called Xing the "Star Core Imp"...

"Xing?" He called carefully. San Yue Qi looked at Xing's silent expression and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Ah?" Xing looked up at Sanyueqi in confusion and scratched his hair: "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me so strangely?"

Seeing Xing's nonchalant look, Sanyueqi was stunned for a moment: "You don't feel sad?"

Xing was confused: "Uh, why should I be sad?"

"But..." Pointing to Kafka, who had already disarmed the star core's defense system and was about to create the 'carrier', Sanyueqi became even more confused. "You were so silent just now. Aren't you sad because you saw that you were deliberately created by someone to achieve a certain purpose?"

"No way!" Xing showed a smirk on her face, looking very happy: "March, you said, since I was created by Kafka and the others, doesn't that mean I am her daughter?"

"Hehe~ Next time we meet, should we just call her mom~ Um, Kafka Mama, slurp..."

Looking at Xing with a weird smile on his face, Sanyueqi couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his forehead: "What kind of train of thought is this, you guy!"

The scene in front of her eyes changed, and two familiar figures appeared on the virtual screen in front of Kafka.

[Kafka: Elio said that this choice will change a lot of things...]

[Silver Wolf: Elio also said that the person who makes this choice must be you.]

Pinching his chin and looking at his other self, Xing nodded with satisfaction: "Hmm~ Is this the male me? Not handsome either, not as good-looking as me at all!"

With a thought in mind, Xing poked the screen and looked at herself as a man in a mirror, carefully examining everything from her clothes to her appearance, from her hair color to her figure.

Her focused look almost made people think that she had some bad intentions towards "herself"!

[Silver Wolf: Okay, I'll choose for you.]

【Silver Wolf: That one, yes, that one.】

It was not until he heard Silver Wolf's impatient urging again and again that Xing made a decision.

Following Silver Wolf's operations, a young man's body was printed out out of thin air.

Holding the star core in her hand and pressing it against the boy's heart, Kafka's gentle voice rang in his ears.

"Time to wake up."
