A moment later, Silver Wolf pried a very small memory card out of the greatsword's slot.

"Here, there's a memory card hidden inside. It's quite well concealed. I took a look, and it's all music source files."

Seeing that Silver Wolf had fumbled around for so long only to pull out a memory card, Lin Shuang's face immediately turned red with anger!

"Holy crap, Silver Wolf, you tricked me!!"

However, Silver Wolf, having finished her business, merely grinned. Then, without waiting for Lin Shuang's fist to land, she transformed into a stream of data and vanished from the room.

Seeing that the culprit had already fled.

Lin Shuang calmed down and picked up the memory card from the sofa. Speechlessly, she inserted it into her phone.

She never expected this thing to only contain a memory card with almost no technical merit...

The only thing worth praising was probably the special material used to encase the entire set of components.

It allowed these cheap items to withstand the shock of the greatsword's swings and the scorching high temperatures.

She checked with her phone and found that besides the songs, there were also some pure instrumental BGM files, though she hadn't stumbled upon them randomly yet.

There were quite a few music tracks. After Lin Shuang copied them all to her phone.

Just as she was about to put the memory card back into the greatsword, Lin Shuang suddenly froze. She picked up the greatsword, now without its memory card.

Tilting her head slightly, a question mark appeared above her head.

With the memory card removed, there shouldn't be any music during a fight, right?

It couldn't be that someone was so bored as to put a memory card on the outside and also have internal storage for music.

Thinking this, Lin Shuang reached out and closed the cover plate. Then, holding the item with one hand, she reignited the flames to envelop the entire sword.

At first, it was indeed quiet for a few seconds.

Just as Lin Shuang thought she had fixed the problem of the combat auto-playing BGM, suddenly—

Melodious music began to play again.

Lin Shuang's expression immediately fell.

"Damn—!"

What a pain!

It had internal storage, so why bother putting a memory card here just for laughs?

"Pfft—"

Beside her, Silver Wolf, who had somehow returned without anyone noticing, let out a very impolite laugh.

Silver Wolf naturally understood Lin Shuang's actions. When she had disassembled it earlier, she had found the inner casing to be very hard. Without violent destruction, the outer shell couldn't be opened, and thus the internal speaker couldn't be accessed.

Now, even though the memory card was removed, the music could still play.

Clearly, that memory card was just a decoy left there for comedic effect.

The thought of Lin Shuang's frustrated look made Silver Wolf burst into laughter:

"Hahaha, who made this greatsword of yours? They did a great job!"

Lin Shuang couldn't help but roll her eyes at her.

"Weren't you leaving? Why are you back?"

"I forgot to tell you one more thing. I didn't expect to come back and see this kind of entertainment."

The smile on Silver Wolf's face was irrepressible, but seeing Lin Shuang's increasingly dangerous gaze, she didn't delay any further:

"Kafka's and my next mission is at the Herta Space Station, in one month's time. Elio said it's fine whether you come or not, but if you do come, he can introduce you to Kafka."

After speaking, Silver Wolf once again turned into data and dissipated from the room.

Lin Shuang, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows, pondering Silver Wolf's words.

Why would Elio say she could come or not participate in the story? Did he want her to join or not?

ps: I went to Guangzhou to meet my girlfriend and almost forgot to update. So sorry, so sorry.

Regarding Silver Wolf's last words before leaving.

Lin Shuang didn't know how to feel for a moment.

Why mention Elio specifically, and then say it was fine whether she came or not?

Perhaps it was because even if she didn't go, events would still unfold smoothly, and her presence would just be icing on the cake?

But then, she specifically added that she could get acquainted with Kafka.

That basically left her no choice.

Kafka only appeared in the story at the Herta Space Station and on the Xianzhou, and her appearances weren't frequent.

If she missed this opportunity, it would be very difficult to find another.

Just because Silver Wolf was willing to play games with her didn't mean she would drag Kafka along to become friends with her.

Mature people don't do such boring things.

Lin Shuang was very envious of Kafka's Word Spirit abilities.

The result of a gacha pull would have some connection to the target of the pull. While this connection might not be reliable, perhaps Lin Shuang could obtain some other Word Spirit abilities from Kafka's gacha rewards.

Moreover, going to Herta Space Station would not only allow her to get acquainted with Kafka but also provide an opportunity to befriend Herta and Asta, both characters with whom she could gacha and build favor.

In the future, Screwllum, Ruan Mei, and even Great Void would also appear at Herta Space Station.

It would be very worthwhile for her to get involved in the Herta Space Station incident.

Therefore, even though she had said "it's fine whether you go or not," Lin Shuang figured that in the future Elio had seen, she must have gone.

Lin Shuang sat back down on the sofa.

The greatsword transformed into flames and was sheathed. Just as Lin Shuang was about to start dealing with the music, the system's prompt appeared:

[Target: Silver Wolf (Corrected)]

[Affection: 65 (Satisfied)]

[Relationship: Father-Daughter (Relationship Reversed)]

['Although I expected it, you truly have no integrity. However, at least the father-daughter relationship is preserved. Congratulations, congratulations.']

['Considering how rare it is to establish such a special relationship, your reward will be upgraded accordingly. I am a kind person.']

[Reward: One Purple Gacha Pull]

Lin Shuang's eyelids twitched.

Why did this system feel both capable and useless?

If you called it useless, the gacha pool contained all sorts of random things, and they were all very useful, with no shortage of functions, whether needed or not.

But if you wanted Lin Shuang to say it was capable, she felt she couldn't bring herself to do it. After all, it wouldn't even display the target's true identity, and it wouldn't refresh if Lin Shuang didn't recognize them.

"Forget it... it's purple, at least."

This was the second time she had received a purple gacha pull since transmigrating. The last time was when she tricked Acheron into marriage.

If she hadn't pulled a Herrscher Core that time, Lin Shuang would probably still have had no decent combat abilities and would have just been tagging along with Acheron.

Thinking of this, Lin Shuang couldn't help but feel anticipation for the contents of this gacha pull.

What if she could actually pull something good!

Lin Shuang rubbed her little hands together and silently chanted—

Gacha pull!

Swish—

Purple light flashed before her eyes, then settled on a skill name:

[Aether Editing: Press B to Teleport v1.01 (Intelligent Optimization)]

['The technology of Punklorde is difficult for ordinary people to understand, so I've directly extracted the most practical function for you. You just need to find a B button and press it after activating the skill to teleport to any place you've been in this universe.']

['I've given you a free update, fixing the problem where teleportation relied on coordinates. However, after the modification, a new bug has emerged: you can no longer teleport using coordinates, even if you have them.']

"...Whatever. I'm used to it."

Lin Shuang felt like she was becoming desensitized to the comments that followed every skill, comments that were utterly useless except for messing with her head.

As for that ability to teleport using coordinates.

Lin Shuang had some recollection of Silver Wolf demonstrating a similar capability when she first appeared.

As for her own teleportation ability, whether it was an upgraded or downgraded version, it was indeed very convenient.

After all, Lin Shuang didn't even know how to determine coordinates within a universe.

In Lin Shuang's understanding, almost every planet and every galaxy in the universe was in constant motion.

She didn't think it was something where accurate coordinates could be easily calculated.

So, regardless of whether it was downgraded or upgraded, for Lin Shuang, it was indeed more useful.

It's just that the trigger condition was a bit abstract.

Press B to teleport, regardless of what button it was, why did it have to be B?

Lin Shuang, with a face full of confusion, activated the skill. Then she opened the keyboard on her phone and pressed the 'B' button on the touchscreen.

A pixelated teleportation wormhole appeared silently before Lin Shuang.

The jerky, twisting, rotating pixelated vortex within the wormhole also looked very much like a game.

Lin Shuang tentatively tried to lift the sofa and insert it, then pull it back. Finding that the fragile sofa showed no signs of damage, she personally stepped into the teleportation vortex, sword in hand.

Accompanied by equally pixelated teleportation effects, when her vision cleared, Lin Shuang found herself in the ruins where she and Acheron had performed the Bowing to Heaven and Earth ceremony.

This abandoned house had become messy, but the dirty items on the ground still indicated that they were the simple props used by Lin Shuang and Acheron.

"So it really does teleport..."

Looking around the drafty room, Lin Shuang felt a mix of emotion and amusement.

Although the trigger condition was quite abstract, the skill itself was undeniably useful and didn't consume much energy. For Lin Shuang, who had a Stellaron for power, energy was never an issue.

With this skill, couldn't she just pop back to the Xianzhou whenever she wanted to eat delicious food?

But then again, would using teleportation count as illegal entry?

Lin Shuang bent down to pick up the used items scattered on the floor, tidying them up while pondering whether teleporting back to the Luofu for a revisit in the future would be considered smuggling.

In the game, the protagonist constantly teleported around the Xianzhou and Herta Space Station, charging through without any repercussions.

Who knew if there were any regulations about it.

After quickly packing everything away and teleporting back to her residence on the Xianzhou, Lin Shuang sent her questions to Tingyun, Yukong, Qingque, and Fu Xuan via her phone.

After all, they were the only people she knew on the Xianzhou, so they were the only ones she could ask.

Replies came back quickly.

Qingque sent her a question mark, seemingly asking what kind of nonsense she was spouting.

Fu Xuan advised her to inquire with the Department of Earthly Affairs, as they handled such matters. She also cautioned Lin Shuang to be wary of the Abundant Doses in the coming days.

Yukong curiously asked about the nature of Lin Shuang's spatial teleportation ability, stating that if she could provide a detailed description, she could help ask the General.

Tingyun, on the other hand, playfully suggested that her benefactor should teleport to her room right away so she could witness this miraculous teleportation ability firsthand.
