Limited-Time Persona

He'd never seen so many cards before.

[This is a projection!] 007 flew to his side and watched it with him.

[Host, these Vest cards are randomly generated from various worlds. Unlike the cards in the Persona System, they are not 100% compatible with you, so it is only recommended to use them for the current time.]

[It is also not recommended for the host to inject their own personality into these Vest cards, otherwise the personality will also dissipate when the card is shattered.]

007 flew to one of the cards, and the blue data materialized into a black pointer.

It held a pointer, its voice firm and clear.

[For example, this Vampire card represents a unique creature from World No. 99909, where pure-blooded Vampires are revered. Therefore, most hosts in that world are Vest as Vampires.]

Lin Nieran stared at the man on the card—a man with exquisitely handsome features and flawless, pale skin—and said, "He does look quite good."

[This is just a low-level Vampire. This kind of Vest doesn't match the host's personality at all, so it won't appear in the Vest pool. But I recommend using it as a one-time card; it'll definitely attract a lot of Fame!]

007 was right. Lin Nieran wasn't keen on fantasizing; he genuinely didn't have any personalities that could be associated with Vampires...

If forced to match, there is indeed a personality with similar traits, except that he does not have the habit of drinking human blood.

Even among the supernatural, those that involve cannibalism are rare.

Lin Nieran suddenly looked at Lin Yi: "This card looks a bit like you, both have red eyes."

Lin Yi, who couldn't see the System Interface, looked completely bewildered.

007 continued, pointing to the next Vest: "[There's also this Seamstress card. Although this Vest's identity is somewhat similar to the ancient culture of Blue Star, her background is completely different from the host's, so it won't be in the Vest pool.]"

Lin Nieran looked at the card. The S-Rank card was gold with no extra patterns on the border. Inside the card was an ordinary woman in ancient costume with her hands folded in front of her.

The woman was wearing a long, coarse black and red cloth gown, her hair was tied up high, and several thick, long sewing needles were stuck haphazardly in her hair, with traces of blood at the ends.

Countless transparent lines floated around her, and those lines seemed to be alive, as if they could see through the card at any moment.

"This card's ability is quite interesting."

[Although these cards don't perfectly match your personality, and their abilities might not be fully utilized, they are well-suited for use in special situations.]

007 put away the pointer: [Anyway, that's it. The host can purchase Vest from other world hosts here, using Points or Performance Points!]

Lin Nieran casually tapped on the Seamstress's card, which displayed her price.

[Vest Name: Seamstress

Grade: S

Usage time: 12 hours (unlimited uses, automatically deleted when time expires or character is out of character, cannot be renewed or extended).

Selling Price: 5 million Points / 100,000 Performance Points

Lin Nieran's fingertips trembled.

"007, your prices are rising way too fast!" Lin Nieran's eyes widened, his tone rising, "5 million Points? 100,000 Performance Points! You might as well just rob a bank!"

[Selling to the host is much faster than stealing!]

Lin Nieran raised his hand and slapped 007. The little ball spun around and flew back to Lin Nieran's side, pleading its case with a wronged expression.

[Actually, after the system upgrades next time, the host can disassemble the Vest they don't like into Limited-Time Persona and sell them, thus making a profit...]

Lin Nieran refused before it could finish speaking, "Impossible."

He doesn't even have enough Vests for himself, how could he possibly sell them?

Lin Nieran then looked at dozens more Vest. Limited-Time Persona were a good thing; he had already told others that he came from an organization from outside the world, so wouldn't it make him more credible if some species from outside his native world appeared?

The only downside is that these Vests are priced a bit too high.

He glanced at his balance; he originally had 30 to 40 million Points, but after a year, he only had a little over 20 million points left.

All told, it's only enough to buy four Limited-Time Persona like the one worn by the Seamstress.

However, he still had many Weird Object he had traded with the Authorities in his warehouse. Since he had enough Points for the time being, he didn't exchange them and kept them.

If he didn't cooperate with the Authorities organization, it would take him forever to collect Points on his own.

However, he needs to personally control these Limited-Time Persona, just like Bai Yang.

He can now skillfully allocate a portion of his mental energy to control Bai Yang's cards, so temporarily controlling these Limited-Time Persona shouldn't be difficult for him either.

Instead of rushing to order the Limited-Time Persona, Lin Nieran first returned to the system shop and browsed through the newly updated items.

The previous store didn't have a complete selection; many items were only available in limited-time shops, and you couldn't buy them at other times.

Now, those items that used to be available only through luck are back in the store, but they've all reverted to their original prices, and there are no more discounts.

As Lin Nieran noticed something strange, glanced at 007, and suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"007, would you like to have a body?"

[Ah?]

007 suspected he had just hallucinated; otherwise, how could he have seemed to hear some incredible good news?

"Since you're not human, others still can't see you, but that shouldn't stop you from eating and drinking," Lin Nieran said. "Want some?"

[Is it okay? Is it okay? Yes, yes!!] 007 nodded repeatedly, his excited mechanical voice rising in pitch.

[Thank you, host! You're my absolute favorite host! But that was so expensive...]

Lin Nieran dismissed it with disdain. "Stop trying to curry favor. From now on, stand by your host's side and work together to complete the mission. That's the most important thing, understand?"

[I understand!]

After browsing through the items in the store, Lin Nieran redeemed some Points and bought four Limited-Time Persona cards, a System Mimicry, and some small Item.

One of the four Limited-Time Persona cards is for the Seamstress.

[Seamstress:]

Grade: S

Identity: Mysterious

Feature: Limited Time 12H

Introduction: Seamstress from a thousand years ago, her needle and thread are skilled at mending memories, giving everyone a beautiful spiritual world.

The remaining three cards are all B-Rank, priced at around 1.5 million and 3 million Points respectively. In total, he spent over 10 million Points on the four cards.

There are also System Mimicry, which aren't cheap either.

[System Mimicry - Fox]

Grade: C

Identity: Fox

Description: A fox that's pretty but useless.

This mimicry cost him six million Points!

He exchanged the remaining Points for some money and bought some limited-edition items through Authorities transactions, including Weather Cards that could previously only be obtained through gacha pulls, which he could now purchase.

Having spent almost all his Points, Lin Nieran reluctantly stopped and turned his attention to the newly updated card pool.

"System, is the Sub-Advanced Card Pool the one above the second-highest level card pool?"
