Chapter 316: So That's How This Setting Works

Yet the girl softly said, "I only transmitted a bit of visual and auditory signals to you, letting you sense me. That's all."

"Other people can't see me."

Vivi opened her mouth, then boldly reached toward the treasure chest, but grasped nothing. Only then did she understand what the girl had said.

"You're the AI of this casting unit? You just used a spell to knock them out..."

She reacted swiftly, immediately giving the only explanation she could think of.

, It was said that high-grade casting units all came with built-in spells, and for the convenience of superhumans, they often had advanced intelligence installed to manage things... The academy had taught similar knowledge.

But just now, exactly how high-grade was the spell she had cast?

Although Vivi had always lived at the bottom of society, she had once witnessed battles between so-called superhuman powerhouses... from two streets away, far in the distance.

Apart from the physical destruction they caused, all kinds of magical prosthetics and spells spewing devastating moves, magic light radiating in all directions, those scenes already looked no different from gods fighting in her eyes.

But that kind of power was at least within the bounds of common sense that Vivi could understand. She knew who used what kind of attack.

Yet just now, she couldn't comprehend any of it.

No magic power fluctuations, no light or special effects, and five women instantly collapsed to the ground.

The girl looked into her eyes and softly explained, "I used a spell to force them into unconsciousness. That's all."

"As for myself... although I don't remember anything, I know I'm not an AI."

Vivi stared blankly and asked, "Then what are you?"

The pink-haired girl said calmly, "I'm human."

"Human?!"

Vivi looked at the sphere and instinctively retorted, "How could a human possibly fit inside this..."

"..."

Her pupils trembled, and she suddenly realized something.

The average diameter of a human brain does not exceed 14 centimeters.

And this sphere...

Indeed, it could fit one.

...

Just as Vivi was filled with doubt and uncertainty, Lin Guang, cradled in her arms, was also thinking at high speed.

"So that's how this setting works."

【Game Rules.】

【1. You will play the role of a game character. Unless noted otherwise by special rules, you must not reveal (or be seen through regarding) your "player" identity within the game, otherwise it will be considered game over.】

【2. All tangible things obtained during the roleplay cannot be brought out of the game. Intangible things require meeting special conditions before they can be brought out of the game.】

【3. Upon completing the game, the system will distribute rewards based on "completion rating."】

【For this game, your identity is: Magical Girl Teresa.】

【For this game, your task is: Bring hope to X (any subject).】

【Task time limit: 86 days, 23 hours, 48 minutes, 21 seconds.】

【Game Start.】

, Frankly speaking, for these three days, she had been internally cursing the system's entire family tree.

The moment Lin Guang entered, she sensed that her situation was wrong.

Magic power was drained to the absolute limit. She couldn't perceive limbs or organs. Not even blood existed. She could only feel a void of pitch-black darkness, completely deprived of all five senses.

If it were only that much, fine.

The key issue was that, through the perception of the【Precision Operation Engine】, her current state was...

A pure brain soaking in an unknown liquid.

The moment she entered, she was reduced to nothing but a brain?

What the hell kind of C-rank difficulty was this?

And on top of that, she didn't even have memories left, only a few basic elements like behavioral style and instincts...

Where's the recap from Naruto?

With Lin Guang's taste and cultivation as a universally adored, stunningly beautiful girl and a high-end player, she normally wouldn't curse.

The fact that she could pack so much profanity into just two sentences showed how turbulent her inner emotions were.

It wasn't that her character was low, it was that the system wasn't human.

And just now, she had finally sensed from the boundless darkness the intense obsession lingering by her side.

So Lin Guang instinctively borrowed the method she had learned from a certain pixie, formed a contract with the other party, and only then successfully shared the five senses through magic power and talent, allowing her to observe this world.

As Lin Guang thought, she opened her ability panel again.

【Lin Guang (Teresa & Vivi)】

【Talent: Precision Operation Engine (A), Soul Link (A)】

【Authority: D】

【Authority Function: May select any one skill from your main body to activate during a trial mission. Usable for five minutes. Limited to one use per mission.】

【Game Character Abilities: Magic Power (E-), Magic Aptitude (E), Prosthetic Domination (C+), ☆Magical Girl Transformation☆ (C+)】

【Comprehensive Rating: E (Main world ordinary person average is F)】

Although she had undergone it countless times in the darkness, Lin Guang still wanted to sigh...

High emotional intelligence: This opening is extremely suitable for a high-end player to exploit.

Low emotional intelligence: Oh damn, they even have openings like this? Playing this perverted, huh?

Qi, Body, Soul, Heart, the Qi and Body pillars were both essentially nonexistent.

Qi represented magic intensity... She had originally thought that the opening when Mengmengxiang had E+ magic power and D- Magic Aptitude back then was already a top-tier start exclusive to high-end players, but she hadn't expected there was yet another expert.

As for Body... Body represented Magic Aptitude.

She didn't even have a body or internal organs. Surviving in this state already counted as a great feat. E in adaptability was only reasonable.

But the rest was very strange.

As【Magical Girl Teresa】, other than Magical Girl Transformation, she actually had another skill, and this skill's rank was unexpectedly high.

C+ rank 【Prosthetic Domination】.

One had to know... After going through the first trial, the main body's 【Spirit Outfit Mastery】and 【★Magical Girl Transformation★】had also only been rated C+ rank.

This meant the original body was absolutely a very formidable magical girl.

And when she had just knocked out those five women, it happened to verify Lin Guang's thoughts.

This spell's performance was indeed very strong.

Then why exactly had the original owner of this body fallen to the state of a brain in a vat?

Had she lost to someone? Or had she modified herself into this?

What did the task's "bring hope to X" mean?

This world... was it the place she was thinking of?

These thoughts occurred in but an instant.

The next moment, Lin Guang suddenly heard the other's words.

"Hah?!"

Hearing these words, Vivi finally came back to her senses, her face written all over with skepticism: "You don't remember?"

"You're messing with me?"

She somehow felt this plot seemed a bit familiar. Had she caught a glimpse of it in some short drama?

Something like a bottom-tier loser girl suddenly picking up a profound, amnesiac remnant soul hidden in a ring and soaring to the heavens...? So this kind of overdone trashy plot could fall on her too?

But on second thought, the other party didn't seem to have any reason to lie.

After all, judging solely from the skill she just displayed, the other party was far ahead by a landslide. If she had any real motive, she could simply act directly.

However, the contract...

Vivi suddenly remembered something and was greatly alarmed, her voice trembling: "Wait!!"
