A Person in Honkai, This Narration Is Not Right / Honkai Scroll Dog Dao Chapter 44

It seems that's really the case.

Just now, Lin Yu, who had defeated the Herrscher of Thunder, did indeed feel an unavoidable surge of arrogance for a moment.

After all, his opponent was a Herrscher, and he felt that defeating such an enemy... was certainly worth being a little proud of.

But the system's words were like pouring a basin of cold water on Lin Yu's head...

Oh no, that was too stimulating, it was more like a truckload of ice cubes being dumped on him.

This immediately made Lin Yu calm down, no matter how arrogant he had been.

While his own strength was indeed a factor in his victory, he couldn't ignore other elements.

Siegfried had weakened the Herrscher's power and, to a certain extent, disrupted her state of mind.

Dr. Mags was responsible for research and development, and Otto had given Rita the HSN Serum to pass to Lin Yu. This serum had weakened the terrifying Honkai Energy within Lin Yu to some degree and strengthened his Honkai Energy resistance, giving him the capital to confront the Herrscher of Thunder.

If he were to ignore these factors and take credit for defeating the Herrscher all by himself, becoming arrogant...

Ha, the faster he inflated, the more miserable his death would be.

Among the people mentioned by the system above, which one wasn't an exceptionally talented genius, and which one wasn't an outstanding warrior with extensive combat experience?

To treat them as powerful rookies like the Herrscher of Thunder, who only had power but lacked mental fortitude and experience... only a fool would do such a thing.

This world was still very dangerous, and it was best to be cautious with his words and actions.

Otherwise, if he were to die on the road at any moment, others wouldn't even have the chance to collect his remains.

[Additionally, the rewards have been sent to your mailbox. Please check them at your convenience, Host.]

Ha... I just remembered, there is indeed such a mechanism.

Completely relieved, with this 'reminder,' he had truly overcome a life-or-death crisis.

In a state of complete peace of mind, Lin Yu opened his mailbox.

[Ding! The rewards claimed by the Host this time are (Special Item - Special Ten-Consecutive Draw Ticket) and (Special Item - Advanced Skill Book Lottery Ticket).]

[(Special Item - Special Ten-Consecutive Draw Ticket) - A special item obtained after completing a difficult mission. Holders of this item can consume it to perform a ten-consecutive draw, which is guaranteed to yield three high-level items.]

Seeing this item at this moment, Lin Yu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

It wasn't that the item was bad; honestly, it was much better than the beginner's ten-consecutive draw which only had one guaranteed item.

But the problem was...

System!

Explain yourself!

Why are there two rewards again?

[Well... cough cough, wait a moment.]

[After asking the question, you, the intelligent, handsome, dashing, and suave you, have already perceived the truth.]

Suddenly praising him like this made him even more flustered.

[The Special Ten-Consecutive Draw Ticket is an item obtained only by completing difficult missions, and the Advanced Skill Book Lottery Ticket is an old friend that needs no introduction, so...]

That's enough, you don't need to continue.

Lin Yu, who was already exhausted, looked at these two items and felt his legs go a bit weak.

Ah, this is really too much.

I just got through one crisis, and now a new one has appeared.

[Although you are dissatisfied with the emergence of a new survival crisis, you quickly pull yourself together.]

[Relying on yourself all along, you tell yourself—the system is unreliable, the only one you can rely on is yourself!]

No, even if you try to encourage me in this way, I...

Forget it, let's draw.

Powerlessly using the Special Ten-Consecutive Draw Ticket, Lin Yu saw ten white lights appear before him.

Then, before his eyes, three of the white lights suddenly erupted with purple light, and the last item turned from purple to gold.

Let me see the ones before these... ah, another pile of junk.

But why would there be a description like 'eating this can restore stamina for special ability users' on milk that's three years past its expiration date or spoiled rotten meat? Can you really eat this thing?

[Yes, you can. A host cultivated by a senior of this system had a related ability that allowed him to consume such food without side effects.]

Did he eat it?

[Of course not—he was a magnetic field powerhouse who could regenerate his own health and stamina, so why would he eat such things?]

Then why are you even mentioning it?

I really don't know if you're doing this accidentally or on purpose.

After finishing his complaint, Lin Yu looked at the three items that appeared last.

The first item was a purple skill book: [Advanced Honkai Energy Resistance].

Advanced Honkai Energy Resistance (Exclusive Skill for this World) - Upon use, this skill will overwrite previous skills, guaranteeing that the skill holder will not be eroded by Honkai Energy when encountering large-scale Honkai events.

Good, even though it's not an active skill—this is exactly what I needed.

Honestly, my success this time was due to sheer luck; Otto actually gave me a syringe of HSN Serum.

I won't be so lucky next time I go out.

And Changkong City... hiss, I was too focused before, and only now do I remember there are other formidable enemies.

Not to mention the awakened K423, both the Herrscher of Poison Yunai and the Corrosion Herrscher Ling of the Previous Era are in Changkong City.

And now, with Mei knocked out by me, their remaining Honkai Energy will become their spoils, won't it???

I think I finally understand what crisis I'll need to face later...

Never mind, I'll check out the second one first.

Skill book [Energy Conversion]?

Energy Conversion - Upon use, this skill can convert various special energies into another type of special energy.

Note: The prerequisite for converting one type of energy into another is that you have mastered the characteristics of both corresponding energies.

Note 2: Common, all-dimensional energies like electricity are not included within the scope of this skill's usage.

It sounds incredibly powerful, but the problem is...

How much special energy do I even have to use right now?!

Didn't they say the items I draw would likely fit my own situation?

Why does it feel like this skill is completely useless to me right now.

[Why don't you continue to look at the third one?]

At the system's prompt, Lin Yu saw the third reward.

At this moment, a stone fragment slowly fell from the golden light before his eyes.

Just by gazing at this emerald-green fragment, Lin Yu could feel...

The fragment before him was emitting uncomfortable fluctuations all around.

[Special Equipment - Void Magic Stone Fragment (11Eyes)]

[Equipment Description - A product of the split void magic stone originally belonging to the witch 'Liselotte Wulfmeier of Lust'. The original holder of this fragment was Minase Yuka. Equipping it grants corresponding special abilities.]

[Special Ability (Magic Supply) - Even as a split fragment of the void magic stone, it possesses considerable magic supply capabilities.]

[Special Ability (Mental Attack Resistance) - Due to the fragment's properties, the holder can resist most mental attacks. The attacked party will not realize their attack has failed.]

[Special Ability (Phantasm Lantern Barrier) - Using a special magic, this ability externalizes all of the target's thoughts and past memories, pulling them into a special barrier.]

[Note: This ability can rewrite parts of the target's cognition. The success rate is determined by the difference in strength between both parties.]

[Note 2: Using this barrier can weaken the energy intensity of the area/person/creature within the barrier to a certain extent.]

[Note 3: Be extremely careful not to overuse this ability. Exceeding the limit for too long during ability usage will cause the user to disappear from the world.]

Gazing at the fragment still emitting uncomfortable fluctuations, Lin Yu fell into deep thought.

If I combine the Energy Conversion skill with this equipment, I could actively generate Honkai Energy to fight.

And the other skills, if used properly, would also be incredibly useful.

Although the last note made me a bit scared, the key issue right now is...

Mental attack defense, cognition rewriting, ability nullification, energy intensity weakening...

System, this fragment, isn't it meant for me to target Otto?

System, this fragment, isn't it meant for me to target Otto?

After Lin Yu said this, he immediately heard a response from the system.

[If possible, I hope the host does not treat Mr. Otto as a comical character to be toyed with and killed at will.]

I don't treat him as that kind of comical character either—besides, I'm still afraid he'll find an opportunity to kill me right now.

[As for why you drew this fragment, this system can only say that its draw module determined that this item is relatively suitable for you among the prizes in the pool.]

Get outta here.

The previous few skills came from a martial artist, a demon hunter, and a mercenary fighter, all focused on strengthening direct combat.

And now this magic-aligned equipment pops out. Are you sure this thing is really suitable for me?

[Whether the initial skills can determine the path you take later depends on yourself.]

[This system cannot explain this aspect—after all, it was indeed determined by the draw module, and this is not within this system's purview.]

Forget it, it's true.

Then I have a question—can this thing block Feathered Dust's mental attacks?

[Forget it. This magic stone is one-seventh of a small fragment of the original Jade Tablet's 'Void Magic Stone'. You'd need the complete magic stone and its holder to even begin to discuss it.]

I was overthinking things.

[But the imitation item in Otto's hand, which is inferior to the real Feathered Dust, can definitely be blocked.]

[After all, although this is one of the Seven Shards, it's a magic-strengthening shard used to activate the Phantasm Lantern Barrier. It can be said that a part of the legendary witch Liselotte's power has attached itself to the shard.]

Are you trying to scare me by stopping halfway through your sentence?

But now that I think about it, it makes sense. Otto's Feathered Dust hasn't always been unbreakable.

In the Exotic Manga, Muryotousuke, who had the alien Shoggoth ally "Mint Candy," easily broke free from Feathered Dust's control with his ally's power, thereby deceiving Otto.

And based on the oppressive aura Welt Yang felt from Muryotousuke when they met, which was at the level of a "Judgment-class Honkai Beast," we can infer that Muryotousuke and Mint Candy together possessed roughly the strength of a Judgment-class Honkai Beast.

However, this doesn't mean that breaking free from the imitation Feathered Dust's control requires Judgment-class strength.

When Otto faced Muryotousuke, he used a golden feather. Yet, when Mint Candy devoured the golden feather, Otto, a powerhouse capable of suppressing Herrschers, didn't sense even the slightest energy fluctuation.

From this, it appears that Otto's imitation Feathered Dust was a minor issue for Mint Candy, something that could be resolved easily without expending much power.

Of course, it's also possible that Otto didn't unleash the imitation Feathered Dust's full power because he viewed Muryotousuke as an ordinary person.

But Lin Yu's Void Magic Stone Fragment is sufficiently powerful, and he himself is genuinely an ordinary person...

Alright, without equipment and skills, he's not much stronger than an average person.

In that case, it's not surprising that Otto's feather would be useless against him.

[Also, although I've already reminded you, this system still needs to say it again.]

[Remember not to overuse your abilities. Exceeding your limits for too long while using abilities will cause the user to disappear from the world entirely.]

Ah, I know.
