Firefly slowly descended from the sky, her face filled with the joy of a reunion after a long separation.
Lu Jiang was captivated by the dreamlike girl before him, and on impulse, he reached out his hand towards her.
Then he took Firefly's hand and slowly pulled her in front of him.
Firefly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled and asked him:
"Trailblazer, you look much younger."
Firefly lowered her head, looking at Lu Jiang's face.
At this moment, Lu Jiang looked only about a teenager, and standing next to Firefly, he looked even more like a child.
After all, Firefly was a warrior of the Grammar Empire, possessing the highest quality genes.
Therefore, her height was a bit taller than average girls.
Lu Jiang's height was not short among his peers originally, but standing next to Firefly, he seemed rather outshone.
Lu Jiang stared blankly at the girl before him.
At the same time, he fell into a memory.
Firefly, one of the Iron Cavalry created by the Grammar Empire during the Great Cosmic Calamity.
She was one of the main combat forces against The Propagation Path.
However, due to genetic modification, these girls suffered from Entropy Syndrome from birth.
Their bodies would undergo irreversible chronic dissociation.
But even so, this group of strong girls never bowed to their fate.
They put on their armor and became the sharp blades guarding the galaxy.
This was Firefly, gentle to everyone, but with a resilient heart. The perfect girlfriend!
The moment Lu Jiang saw Firefly, he understood why she was portrayed as the Trailblazer's little girlfriend.
Wasn't this much better than Ning Rongrong, that spoiled Eldest Young Lady who admired strength?
Whether it was appearance or personality, Firefly won completely, right?
Lu Jiang detached himself from his myriad thoughts and began to ponder what Firefly had just said to him.
She called him Trailblazer? It seemed she mistook him for the protagonist in Honkai: Star Rail.
He shouldn't have been to the Honkai: Star Rail universe, nor should he have met Firefly.
It was just that he had been an ardent fan for a while in his previous life.
It seemed that perhaps the system had granted him a unique "identity" background.
This way, things made much more sense.
After all, Firefly's affection for the protagonist was maxed out from the beginning.
There was no need to worry about being backstabbed like Ning Rongrong.
Just as Lu Jiang was about to explain his current situation to Firefly.
A system pop-up suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Congratulations to the host, you have successfully unlocked character card: Firefly]
[Reward obtained: Firefly's exclusive Light Cone (Where Dreams Die) and exclusive Relic (The Iron Cavalry's Blazing Lotus Lamp Forging Palace to Eradicate Calamity)]
[Additional Reward: Soul Power Level increased to Level 20]
[Note: Continue accumulating slot value to draw more cards and unlock new character cards]
Lu Jiang's eyes slowly widened.
He didn't expect that even the cultivation system from Honkai: Star Rail had been brought over?
However, getting a complete set of graduation Light Cone and Relics directly was quite nice.
More importantly, drawing cards could even return Soul Power?
This was equivalent to drawing for free, wasn't it?
There was such a good thing?
Soon, Lu Jiang noticed something was wrong.
His talent was not high, and even if the Soul Power accumulated over the past few years had not been fed into the slot value, it definitely wouldn't have reached Level 20.
At most, he would have broken through the Soul Master realm to around Level 15.
This system rebate was actually faster than his own cultivation!
Lu Jiang was very satisfied. He had originally worried that if his cultivation fell behind, he might become a summoner with high attack but low defense, and would be GG once his summoned creatures couldn't protect him.
Now, it seemed all those worries were unnecessary.
His cultivation speed was even faster than a Soul Master with twin maxed-out Soul Power!
Just as Lu Jiang was about to close the system panel, another pop-up suddenly appeared.
[Ding! Detected that the host is drawing a card for the first time, a novice gift package is specially presented.]
There's a novice gift package too?
Lu Jiang clicked to claim it without a second thought.
Afterward, he felt all the Soul Power on his body being mobilized, and then his Martial Soul appeared before him.
Weapon Martial Soul: Blank Card.
Simply put, it was an ordinary card, even less useful than Blue Silver Grass.
It was precisely because of the limitations of his Martial Soul that Lu Jiang's cultivation speed was so slow, and his upper limit was almost locked.
He'd be lucky to reach level thirty in his lifetime.
However, what was the system trying to do by summoning his Martial Soul at this time?
Just as Lu Jiang was wondering, the card suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light.
[Martial Soul Evolution: Host's Martial Soul has evolved into a God-Tier Martial Soul - Phantom Card God!]
[System has successfully bound the Martial Soul.]
[From now on, characters summoned by the host can be sealed within the Martial Soul to restore Soul Power and can be summoned at any time. Maintaining character actions will consume Soul Power. Characters can automatically store the host's Soul Power, but if the Soul Power runs out, further combat will require consuming the host's current Soul Power.]
[Note: Summoned characters cannot leave within a thousand meters of the host, otherwise they will automatically return to the card.]
This Martial Soul is interesting, it can even be bound to the system?
Lu Jiang summoned Firefly's panel and indeed found her Affection Value.
[Character Card: Firefly]
[Action Value: 100/100]
"Trailblazer. Trailblazer?"
Firefly's voice pulled Lu Jiang back from his thoughts.
Then, Lu Jiang scratched his head a little sheepishly.
Firefly let out a sigh of relief and then said:
"Trailblazer, ever since you disappeared, I've been searching for you across the universe piloting Sam."
"Now we're finally reunited."
"But. Where is this place?"
Firefly looked around curiously.
Lu Jiang explained to Firefly that they were currently in another world.
"An-another world?"
"The original universe isn't enough for you to explore anymore?"
Surprise showed on Firefly's face, and then she asked indirectly:
"Can you go back then?"
Lu Jiang knew that what she really wanted to ask was if he could go back.
So, he slowly approached Firefly, reached out, and smoothed down her hair, which had been messed up by the wind.
It was the first time Firefly had looked at Lu Jiang so closely, and her heart immediately began to race.
Like a pure high school girl, she lowered her head, her face blushing.
"Trailblazer. (ω)"
Then, Lu Jiang said to Firefly:
"Don't worry, as long as I'm still walking the path of exploration, there will be a day we can return."
"Until then, we'll just have to go through this together for a while."
Firefly's face turned even redder. Going through things together with the Trailblazer.
Was this a subtle invitation to a honeymoon?
"However, I've encountered a very troublesome situation. I've been kicked out of where I'm currently living."
"The owner of this place doesn't like me, so I can't stay here anymore."
"Will you accompany me on my wandering?"
Firefly gave a warm smile and said:
"As long as I can be by your side, I can go anywhere."
Lu Jiang's heart, tormented for the past decade, suddenly skipped a beat.
What a perfect girlfriend!
After calming down, Lu Jiang sat back on the bed and began to think about his next move.
He definitely couldn't go to Shrek or the main cast.
Why not go directly to visit Qian Renxue? She probably hadn't become a god yet, so it was still possible.
But before that, getting two Soul Rings was the most important thing.
