Biscuit's Worries
"Only three abilities were Separation... As expected, five is still too much of a stretch. In order to successfully Separation, I, as a 'player,' didn't even dare to buy any equipment..."
"Fortunately, the Summoner Spell are still available. There are three abilities: Senna's passive Absolution, Thresh's Damnation, and Ekko's Chronobreak... That's enough!"
After Oboro stood still, he immediately sensed that his Nen had become different.
His Nen power rippled outwards from his body...
Suddenly, a thick, eerie green mist rose around him, within which numerous ghostly figures seemed to drift, emitting terrifying roars... This was the manifestation of one of his abilities, the Damnation.
This ability doesn't actually cause any damage... it just allows Oboro to drop the target's soul after killing an enemy, which he can then pick up and absorb.
Another ability is Chronobreak, which allows an individual to return to their state and actions a few seconds earlier, causing a spacetime shattering effect with a certain amount of spell power damage, also known as the impact of 'mind'.
As for his Nen, the manifested Face Button is the key to connecting him with the Game World... Oboro needs to first cast 'The Game Treasury of the Endless Dreamer' to transform into his current state, possessing three Nen at will.
The Face Button itself has no effect; its only function is to replace the player's data and Separation the player from the game into the real world.
One for three, that's worth it!
Simple Conjuration cannot achieve this.
Oboro utilized his understanding and knowledge of 'Nen development' to give himself an ability similar to that of Specialization.
What's most terrifying is that he exploited loopholes to allow two of his abilities to endlessly enhance his attributes and strength.
This is the most perverted.
So much so that a few days later, when Oboro left Hero Island and met Biscuit, she told her that she had gained a new Nen. The blonde beauty was unusually shocked and lost her composure.
It's about acquiring, not developing.
Biscuit, having lived this long, had never seen anyone with such a 'unique' thought process. He'd tried unconventional methods that most wouldn't dare to consider, and he'd actually succeeded! Back in the Heavens Arena, when she first saw Oboro's Nen, Biscuit felt like she'd 'learned something,' as if this junior had given her a lesson... Now, that feeling had returned! And the psychological impact on her was even greater than the first time! She really wanted to crack open Oboro's skull and see what was inside...
"I understand. You had to bear all the consequences and effects of your previous abilities, but not anymore. Your so-called training mode is a separate server within the program. Because the training mode is quite special and has a lot of freedom, some game rules and methods don't need to be fully followed, and it won't affect the mode of another server, or the entire game..."
Inside the room, Biscuit frowned, feeling like her brain was about to explode.
"That's right."
Long nodded.
"Before, it was just you, essentially a server, a single entity. Even if you exploited some bugs, you would have to fix and bear the consequences yourself... Now, that's unnecessary. Moreover, through the Player Agreement, the Game World will be continuously stabilized, and even if some data becomes disordered, it will automatically recover. You don't have to worry about anything... You used your manifested Nen to replace your 'player' data, and your true self returned to the real world... You also gained three new abilities."
"Normally, things in a game cannot be separated from their environment and enter the outside world..."
"So it's Separation... Although my hero skills exist and are part of the game content, the hero characters whose skills are grafted will not be released for players to use."
"Long explained."
"Oh my god!"
Biscuit covered her mouth and slumped into her chair. She vaguely understood... In short, Oboro had accomplished something she had never seen before.
The complexity involved was something she felt even the president couldn't have imagined.
"But the Summoner Spell you mentioned... aren't they also a kind of ability? And, if you're Separation from the game and enter reality, there will definitely be an impact. The fundamental rules of Nen won't change..."
Biscuit thought of something.
"That's right... So, to reduce the difficulty of the Separation, I only selected the runes and Summoner Spell that originally belonged to the game content, and I didn't even equip any items... As for the impact, as you can see, out of five skills, only three remain, and the talent runes were not successfully Separation."
Long shrugged. "And the limitation of the newcomers' abilities is that Summoner Spell can no longer be changed; they're fixed."
"No!"
Biscuit suddenly shook her head, swaying her ponytail, her face serious. "I understand that if I'm not mistaken, you can no longer return to Hero Island as a player and enter the game... Moreover, once Separation, it means the game rules become invalid, and you can no longer use the power of the rules. The effects of the abilities and mechanisms derived from game skills will definitely be different from the originals."
"Also, that training mode you mentioned, it has to be kept on... it can't be turned off."
"Finally, Hero Island cannot be attacked or destroyed. Although it is Separation and replacement, your new abilities are still derived from the main body of this game."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Oboro raised an eyebrow and looked at Biscuit with some surprise. "Impressive!"
"What do you mean?! In your eyes, am I just a complete idiot who knows nothing about games and can't even think straight?!"
Despite it being a compliment, for some reason, Biscuit looked very unhappy with the expression on Oboro's face.
She put her hands on her hips and shouted indignantly.
Then, crossing her arms and puffing out her cheeks, she said angrily, "I've lived twice as long as you..."
"No, you're a senior, it's perfectly normal for you to have guessed it. I sincerely admire you."
He gave a sullen smile.
Biscuit is right... Originally, the ability of Absolution was to increase attack range by picking up the black mist dropped by the dead target. There would be a qualitative change after 20 black mists, and the same goes for critical hits.
But now... the floors are gone.
He might need to kill more enemies to reach the original 20-layer effect, maybe 100, maybe 200... He needs to test this ability himself.
The numerical values of Damnation haven't changed; killing a unit increases armor and spell power by one point.
However, he was unsure how much improvement 1 point of armor and spell power would provide with his current strength.
To prevent Hero Island from being destroyed or attacked from outside, one of his Summoner Spell is Teleport.
The other is Flash.
Fortunately, the Summoner Spell were retained.
"In just over a year, you've quietly created a game... and besides the new Nen, your own strength seems to have improved quite a bit as well." Biscuit muttered, glancing furtively at Oboro's body.
"Shall we have a go? It'll be a good opportunity to test my three abilities..."
Long smiled gently.
"Damn it! My time is precious, why would I waste it on someone like you!"
Biscuit scoffed, "So, you called me here just to show off?"
"No."
Long turned around and took out a treasure box from a package.
Biscuit's eyes lit up immediately, and she jumped over excitedly to open the box.
Inside, three sparkling, brilliant crystals were neatly arranged, each with a different color and material.
"Wow!"
The girl exclaimed in surprise, her face quickly filled with happiness as she rubbed her cheek against the gemstones, overjoyed.
Oboro had promised Biscuit that she would give her a jewel...
The mission for the Botswa Tribe was also Biscuit, who was worried about his safety, and took Morel with him to rescue him.
Oboro was very grateful...
The encounter with Biscuit and Wing was completely accidental.
Long never expected that he would have any interaction with this character in the story... Although the old woman didn't get along with him on the surface and often bickered with him, she was actually a pretty nice person.
"Since you still have a conscience, I'll accept it with a smile."
Biscuit's tone softened considerably as she carefully put the box away.
Then, she turned around and skipped out the door.
"You're leaving already?"
Oboro shouted.
"I'll go check out the game you created..."
Biscuit responded without turning her head.
Then, he left the room.
Once outside the hotel, Biscuit expression calmed down somewhat.
She didn't know what the three abilities Oboro had acquired after spending so much time and effort... but based on her understanding of Oboro, these three abilities must be extremely terrifying... that would be in line with Oboro's pursuit of power.
"His aura is completely different from back then..."
"His blood energy is abundant, and his external muscles and bones are already connected as one... It's likely that in the past year or so, he hasn't just been creating that game, but also hasn't given up on cultivation."
"Even I feel a sense of dread; his 'sharpness' is becoming increasingly apparent... President, how much longer can you suppress him?"
Several thoughts crossed Biscuit's mind, and her eyes showed some worry.
It is no ordinary person to be able to construct a realistic Game World from reality in such a short time.
Furthermore, Oboro's limitations were not limited to what he mentioned... They would have been much greater, but the latter mitigated most of them by utilizing the 'Player Agreement' and various aspects such as servers, NPCs, and the game.
This approach, which is not simply about development but about indirectly acquiring certain abilities through a series of means, requires extremely strong execution and imagination, as well as powerful data support and an understanding of Nen... The more Biscuit it, the more uneasy she felt.
It wouldn't be surprising if a guy like that did anything to achieve his goals in the future.
What troubled Biscuit even more was that there was more than one such person in the Association.
"I should still inform the student council president..."
Thinking about it, Biscuit picked up her phone as she walked.
I dialed Netero's number.
Ever since the old man started guiding Oboro for three months, he seems to have lost interest in Oboro... completely different from before.
I have no idea what happened between the two, one big and one small.
The old man himself didn't say anything.
Strange and mysterious...
But she could guess some of it.
There will be more tonight.
