A New Cheat: "Charm Domain"

At this point in time, in the spring of 2014—

Why does Wendy have such a high level of affection for Sachi?

First, thanks to a certain mother, he managed to leave a perfect first impression on her. Then, the rebellious Wendy escaped from the Oceania Branch, took a bath, bought clothes, and gained a lot of goodwill.

That wasn't the end of it. Unfortunately, she happened to be on her first mission Order Emissary and got caught up in the battle Fire Moth and King OOO. She was fortunate enough to learn about the Bonded Weaponry and was granted an Enhanced Form Card and two Collaboration Form Cards upon her debut, one of which was the Enhanced Form of the Fire Moth.

By the way, did you guys notice? When Wendy transformed into Wendy of the Wind for the first time as the card player, the incantation she recited was the chant that she had improvised to encourage her when they first met.

In short, after this series of experiences, Qingtuan's popularity soared. Although her memories were greatly diminished after the world was reset, her inner feelings would not disappear.

Then, I lived with Sachi at the Oceania Branch for more than three months. Oh no, I mean we lived together. My affection for her was basically off the charts.

Do you know why Wendy's affection level is only 85? It's because this shy Qingtuan doesn't dare to directly express her feelings to Xing, otherwise it would be as high as 90 as Bronya's.

You're asking why Yae Sakura isn't level 90 yet? Please, is she that kind of person? Would she give up everything without hesitation just because she meets someone who looks like Kallen? At least not that quickly...

Sigh, hesitation leads to defeat. I hope Wendy won't end up like a loser.

Sorry for digressing, let's get back to the main topic.

Springtime is the season of renewal, the season for creating life. So, should I create life myself?

Fortunately, he sat by Wendy's bedside, pondering this serious question.

Don't get me wrong, it's been a few days since the singularity ended. He only went to Wendy's dorm once before going back.

It has to be said that although they're all lolis, apart from Bronya, the others seem to be quite well-developed. What, you're asking about the Arin Sisters? Do those two even exist?

The forgotten Rosalia and Liliya both downvoted.

Wendy, wearing a loose dress and barefoot, bustled around the dormitory, occasionally stealing a glance at Xing sitting on the bed.

Wendy had told him that she really enjoys the feeling of her skin being in contact with the air, so she prefers light and loose clothing. She doesn't wear shoes at home, and even when she's outside, she wears sandals without socks. (She'll wear proper clothes in winter though.)

I wore white stockings last time because I bought them by chance.

When we lived together at the Oceania Branch, well, when we lived together, she was basically dressed like this, without a single extra piece of clothing on her.

I was often teased and tickled for this...

Wendy was making Qingtuan) carefully, thinking to herself, "Hmm, I finally mustered up the courage to invite Brother Xing over, I can't afford to make any mistakes! If I succeed this time, Brother Xing won't be able to refuse me..."

Bronya never expected that this seemingly honest and innocent little girl was secretly planning to steal the enemy's home in order to become the main wife.

What? You mean they've teamed up to fight against Yae Sakura?

Pshaw, who would believe that? Even if we succeed, who will be the official wife? It's a battle that's bound to happen sooner or later, so let's just win now!

Oh, Wendy asked Sachi about Yae Sakura a few days ago. Fearing that Miko shrine maiden might accidentally kill the others, Sachi took back control of the Jizo-Mitama. Unless he really encounters some life-or-death crisis, those people in the Stigmata Space will not be able to get out.

Upon learning that the greatest threat had disappeared, Wendy boldly began her operation.

The medicine I stole from Rita...

The Himeko black tea I borrowed from Teacher Himeko...

And the sleeping pills and [unspecified medication] I bought yesterday...

Wendy, captivated by a recent film, turned her back to Xing, her eyes sparkling with hearts, and added the ingredients to the Qingtuan.

The story begins a few days ago—

After leaving Wendy's, Xing went to the cafeteria for a quick bite and packed some food to take home to her two pets—no, cats aren't pets.

Although his injuries healed after the world reset and Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross, the mental exhaustion was irreparable. Right now, Xing just wanted to go back and get some sleep as soon as possible, since it was already afternoon anyway.

He pushed open the door and saw Pardo coming towards him. His vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Meow! You jerk, are you alright?"

When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day. Feeling the Jotaro touch on his face, he moved Pardo's tail away with a black line on his face. "Hmm, it feels nice."

"Good morning, you jerk, master~" Pardo lay lazily on the bed, yawned, and her long cat tail kept patting Xing's face.

Holding the tail in his hand and playing with it, seeing Pardo's blissful expression, Xing suddenly thought of a question, "Pardo."

"Um?"

Did I tell you to call me master?

"◐▽◑ Meow? Don't you have one?"

"(@_@;) Do I have one?"

Pardofelis stopped thinking.

Damn it! That was my first thought. Don't most people keep us as pets when they catch us? You put a collar on me, buy me cat litter, and tease me with a cat toy all the time. What are you up to?

Seeing Pardo's existential doubts, Xing smiled mischievously and turned her attention to the mission reward he had received.

"Another lottery chance? Seriously, nothing new. It's limited to the Honkai Branch World again, though I can't use it in other Branch World anyway. Hmm, let's go, Shining Draw!"

"Reward drawing in progress... Ding! Congratulations on drawing a hidden gift pack! You will receive 1 universal item!"

What?! It works worldwide?! It won't fail in any Branch World?! My luck is amazing!

"Congratulations on obtaining the 'Charm Domain' buff!"

???

The moment Xing saw the name, a bad feeling rose in her heart.

(Note: The author is not crazy; this cheat is not that buggy.)

"BUFF Description: This BUFF is forcibly activated upon acquisition and cannot be canceled. This ability has no cost, no cooldown, and no range limit. It increases the favorability of all creatures near the user to varying degrees. If a photo is taken, the ability also takes effect."

Want to build a harem? Want to be a winner in life? Want to become a world-class idol? Want to be the lead in a Hollywood movie? This is your trump card for a comeback!

Note: This is all predicated on you being good-looking. If you're not, "Charm Domain" can't help you. Oh, and you also need to be rich.

Side effects: Beware of yandere, perverts, gropers, and homosexuals. If you can't protect yourself, then just lie down and enjoy it.

P. S.: The increase in favorability is limited; the most important thing is to work hard yourself.

Limitation: Ineffective against higher-dimensional beings such as divine messengers.

What the heck?!

Xing was instantly dumbfounded. Hey, he wanted something that would increase his combat power, who wants this useless buff?

The cat stared at Sachi with resentment, trying to kill him with her eyes, but as she looked at him, she realized that this little boy seemed unusually handsome today.

Pardofelis's favorability: 70→80

"Meow, you jerk, you always pet my cat ears so enthusiastically, it's not too much to ask me to pat your head, is it?" Pardo crawled over with dazed eyes.

Get away from me!

Forced by circumstances, he managed to issue the order through a tattoo, but seeing Pardo's teary eyes, he finally leaned closer.

"From now on, just call me Xing. Don't call me Master or Boss."

"Okay, Little Xing ~"

Today is Sunday. Xing got dressed and went out. Although there weren't many people around on the weekend, he had a feeling that this day wouldn't be peaceful.

You asked him why he didn't hide in the dormitory? Well, he has Raven's archery class today.

Walking along the paths of the St. Freya Academy, a few girls who were overly competitive occasionally passed by, but they only glanced at him before moving on. The influence of the 'Charm Domain' didn't seem to be as great as he had imagined, which relieved him.

A passing student remarked, "Xing seems rather charming today, but unfortunately, I won't get a chance to eat this meat."

The St. Freya Gossip News Team, who were secretly taking photos from behind. "Hehe, another piece of material obtained! Wow, Xing is so good-looking, what should I do if I want to lick this photo?"

As a scarce resource in St. Freya, male students are either monopolized or fiercely contested; fortunately, they belong to the former.

The morning's plan is to go to Fu Hua to learn the Cun Xin Fist Style.

"Good morning, eh?" Fu Hua blinked, why did this child suddenly seem a little more approachable?

What should I do if I can't throw a punch? I need help urgently.

Favorability rating: 70→80 (It should have gone up by now)

"I'm giving you a day off today. Go play with Bronya and the others." Mom Hua gently patted his head and then gave him a bag of candy. "Remember not to eat too much at once, or you'll get cavities like Kiana."

Xing looked at the candy in her hand, blinked, and thought, "Not bad?"

Teachers' Dormitory

The mature woman with black hair and red eyes lay on the bed, humming a little tune, happily selecting an island to buy on her tablet.

Having worked as a mercenary for so many years, she had already amassed a considerable fortune. With Xing's generous donations, she could finally own a villa island of her own!

"Which one should I buy? This one comes with renovations, this one comes with a villa, this one comes with a security system... Hehe, thanks, little guy~"

Raven, with its little gray silk legs tucked up, thought about bringing Xing over to have some fun after the renovation was finished.

"You're the one!" Soon, she found her favorite island and paid the full amount on the spot. Her generosity impressed even the seller.

In the Stigmata Space—

Yae Sakura knelt calmly in the conjured shrine, with the black and red Jizo-Mitama floating in front of her, yet she could not touch it.

What is the greatest distance in the world? The answer is: you can reach it just by opening the door, but you just can't open it.

"Thank goodness! Let me out!" The Miko was going crazy!

Affection level: 88→90 (It got a boost, and it's almost there even without a bonus) That's right, I, Yae Sakura, am just that casual.

Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu in the adjacent Stigmata Space: "..."

Affection level: 80→80 (no change)

Cang Xuan's eyes were filled with the symbol of money. "Dan Zhu, what do you think is the success rate of persuading Xing to debut as an idol?"

Dan Zhu's eyes sparkled. "I don't know, but I think his photobook will definitely sell very well!"

These two have ulterior motives; their goodwill towards each other is already high, so it can't be increased further.

Jilin, who had just woken up, said, "Hmm, did I use that whitening cream? It looks so good. Whew, I'm so sleepy, I'll sleep a little longer." After saying that, she lay down and continued to sleep.

Affection level: 80→85 (Jilin seems to have a slightly naive and cute personality).

Unbeknownst to the young boy, a storm was brewing around him.

Author's Note—

Would you want this kind of ability? I certainly would...
