My Character, I Understand! in the World of Honkai Impact 3rd

Less than half a minute passed before the door was opened.

"Cecil..."

Siegfried blurted out, but then immediately shut his mouth. The person who opened the door wasn't Cecilia, but a serious-looking, stern young girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

'British?'

This young girl did seem a bit British. She had distinct European features, yet also a touch of Eastern delicacy.

"Who are you?" the young girl asked, confused. "If you're selling something, I don't need anything."

"Ah... this..." Siegfried said awkwardly. "Um... sorry, wrong person."

"Um, do you happen to know if there's someone named Li Pu here..."

"Sorry, I don't know him." The young girl curtly replied before slamming the door shut with a bang.

Left with nothing but embarrassment, Siegfried could only sheepishly rub his nose and walk away.

"Huh? Wait a minute!" Siegfried, who had just left the apartment building, suddenly felt something was off about the young girl's gaze.

It felt...

It felt like how Cecilia looked at him when they first met at the academy.

Hmm...

No! No!

Siegfried turned around, intending to go back up, but after a moment's thought, he gave up. He decided to wait patiently for now; perhaps the campus would be better than here.

"Hmm... maybe," Siegfried mused, stroking his chin. "I could apply for a job."

In a girls' school, it was a bit of a wild idea, but not entirely impossible.

Meanwhile, back in that apartment.

"Holy crap!" the blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl exclaimed nervously. "How did Siegfried find me?!"

"Does he really want to get something for free?! And not even pay for it!"

This girl was, naturally, Li Pu.

To be honest, the Transformation Dance the System gave him wasn't just easy to learn, but the requirements for transformation weren't high either. Basically, as long as the movements were consistent and the aura was similar, it was considered a success.

It was incredibly simple.

The movements were easy to learn, and the aura could be achieved with a slightly more severe case of chuunibyou.

Once you let go, transformation was quite easy.

And this time, he had transformed into...

"But I have to say," Li Pu said, turning left and right in front of the full-length mirror, "King of Understanding's body is quite nice."

Perhaps as a trait of a female hero, besides possessing the delicate beauty expected of women, she also had a sense of strength that ordinary women lacked.

Looking closely at the person in the mirror, she was indeed a strong rose.

"And I feel like~"

Li Pu rubbed his shoulders and casually swung his arms a couple of times. "I seem to have a lot of strength!"

He felt like a lot of things suddenly popped into his mind, easily observable.

Were these some kind of skills?!

'System notification: Equipment quest completed.'

'Title "My Character, I Understand!" obtained.'

'One lottery chance obtained.'

Just then, the System's voice chimed in opportunely.

Chapter 47: A New Round of Lottery!

'I can get a lottery chance just like this?!'

Li Pu entered his System, saying with some surprise: 'And I can get a title like this too.'

'What's the use of this title?'

'Increases equipment success rate by 10%,' the System replied. 'As long as you obtain a title, you will get a lottery chance. As for titles themselves...'

'Some are useful, some are not.'

'Basically, early-game titles are useful, but it's hard to say about later ones.'

'Oh?' Li Pu asked curiously. 'What kind of titles are there in the early game?'

'How do I use them?'

'Just equip them,' the System said. 'Tell me when you want to equip one, you can equip three at a time.'

'As for what titles there are, you'll have to explore them yourself. As long as you have a title, I will give you a prompt.'

'There are many ways to obtain titles in the early game, and they are quite varied. You might even get a title by flushing the toilet a hundred times.'

"Lies," Li Pu said, not believing it at all. "I've been in this world for three years and have flipped over a hundred toilets already."

"You didn't even give me a title for that."

"That was just an example," the System explained. "In short, I'm just telling you that titles are easier to get in the early stages. The later it gets, the harder they are to obtain. Although some are useful and some are not, once they are useful, their effect will be immense."

"It's still quite obvious for the improvement of your strength."

"How do I equip them?" Li Pu thought for a moment. He seemed to have obtained a title before that had never been put to use. This time he got another one, and the System said he could equip three.

So how should he use these three?

"Just tell the System," the System said. "It's very convenient. Whichever one you want to equip."

"Just tell this System, and this System will help you equip it without any cost whatsoever."

"Then equip all the titles I've obtained," Li Pu said without hesitation.

"Okay," the System replied almost simultaneously. "They have all been equipped."

"Huh? That's it?" Li Pu said, a bit disbelievingly. "Why does it feel like nothing happened? I don't feel anything! They're equipped just like that?"

"Of course," the System said. "You can use a mirror to check. They're on your back."

"You can see your titles."

"But not as text, rather as patterns."

"Really?" Li Pu immediately exited the System, found a small mirror, and stood in front of the full-length mirror to check. Sure enough, two strange patterns had appeared on his back.

One was a bird-like pattern, and the other was a spade. These two suddenly lined up on his back.

"Why does it feel a bit like those Saint Marks?"

Li Pu mumbled. Although he didn't feel any change, since they were equipped, they should have an effect, just not manifested yet.

"I'll test them out slowly later," Li Pu mumbled, then re-entered the System and said, "Speaking of which, didn't I get a chance to draw something?"

"I want to draw..."

Li Pu was about to say he wanted to draw a character, but he stopped himself after opening his mouth. Should he draw a character?

Although drawing a character wasn't impossible, he already had two characters.

Wouldn't drawing another character be a bit redundant?

Or perhaps it was already redundant now?

"What do you want to draw?" The System, seeing Li Pu stop mid-sentence, asked impatiently, "You're only saying half of it. If you want to draw, hurry up. If not, save it."

"Draw! I'll draw equipment!" Li Pu said after a brief consideration, making up his mind. "I'll draw for equipment once."

"Draw equipment?" The System sounded a bit confused. "Aren't you drawing a character anymore?"

"What's decided is decided," Li Pu said. "I'll draw equipment. Maybe I'll get something I can use right now."

When he drew characters before, Li Pu felt that characters had very clear directions and could quickly improve his strength, giving him a certain capital to compete. However, drawing equipment had too wide a scope, including weapons, armor, vehicles, and more. If he didn't get a useful weapon, it would be a waste.

And drawing for side quests was just drawing an opportunity to start them.

If he didn't get a good draw, it would be a waste of a chance.

That's what he thought before, but now it didn't seem to be entirely the case. Characters required quite a bit of preparation to use well, and he already had two.

If he drew too many more, and couldn't use them or understand them, then drawing them would be pointless.

It was better to draw equipment and see what he could get.

Maybe he'd even get something he wanted.

"Alright, then you can draw," the System said. "Don't go back on your word. You know that equipment covers a vast range, and what you draw might not be useful or good.

"If you draw trash, this System won't take it back!"

"If you want equipment, it's better to use side quests."

"Although it's troublesome, the return rate is high!"

The System wasn't lying about this. The return rate for drawing equipment was indeed not very high.

"No problem!" Li Pu said confidently. "As the King of Understanding, I have great confidence in my luck."

"Let's begin then."

"Then the lottery begins," the System said. "There are ten large boxes in front of you. Just choose one to open."

"In reality."

In reality?

Li Pu opened his eyes. In his living room, which was probably forty square meters, there were ten boxes of various sizes! And these boxes looked so familiar.

"This... aren't these the standard supply boxes from Honkai Impact 3rd?" Li Pu looked at the boxes in front of him with a touch of speechlessness.

"My System is truly a master of imitation."

"Or a stitched-together monster."

Drawing characters used Onmyoji, and drawing equipment actually used Honkai Impact 3rd.

But Honkai Impact 3rd is Honkai Impact 3rd, I guess.

There's no harm in that.

Li Pu looked at the ten boxes in front of him, each about half a meter square. After much deliberation, he finally chose the supply box that was placed in front of him the moment he first saw it.

As his hands touched it, the other boxes suddenly disappeared in a sprinkle of starlight.

This box also opened in a Honkai Impact 3rd fashion.

The contents of the box floated in mid-air as if from nowhere.

"Holy crap! I think I got something amazing!" Li Pu exclaimed, his eyes wide as he looked at the item before him. "What is this thing..."

It was a spear! A spear about 1.9 to 2 meters long, entirely crimson red!

Its body was crimson red, its tip sharp, and strange red patterns adorned the shaft.

It was clearly a good item!

"Ahahaha~" Li Pu eagerly grabbed it. "This thing is really..."

"Yeehaw? Demon-Breaking Crimson Rose?!"

Chapter 48: The Most Useful Trash

"How should I even describe it..."

"This is truly the most useful piece of junk."

Li Pu sat on the sofa, the Demon-Breaking Crimson Rose standing upright in the corner.

He was quite excited and very happy when he first received it. But after a careful inspection, he quickly lost interest.
