[Aether Editing: Press B to Teleport v1.01 (Smart Optimization Edition)] / Songstress Robin

Before long, Silver Wolf pried a tiny storage card out of the greatsword's slot.

"Here. There was a storage card hidden inside, pretty well concealed too. I checked—it's all music source files."

Seeing Silver Wolf fumble around for ages only to pull out a storage card, Lin Shuang immediately saw red!

"Fuck, Silver Wolf, you tricked me!!"

But Silver Wolf merely grinned. Before Lin Shuang's fist could land, her entire body turned into a stream of data and vanished from the room.

Seeing that the culprit had already run off,

Lin Shuang calmed down and picked up the storage card from the sofa. Feeling utterly speechless, she inserted it into her phone.

She had never expected this thing to contain nothing more than a storage card with practically no technical value at all...

The only thing worth praising was probably the special material wrapping the entire assembly.

It allowed these cheap little components to withstand the vibrations of the greatsword's swings, as well as its scorching heat.

After checking it with her phone, she found that apart from those songs, there was also some pure instrumental BGM on it, though none had come up randomly yet.

There were quite a lot of tracks. After copying them all onto her phone,

Lin Shuang, who had been about to put the storage card back into the greatsword, suddenly froze. She picked up the sword, now without its storage card.

Tilting her head slightly, a question mark seemed to appear above her head.

Now that the storage card had been removed, there shouldn't be any music during fights anymore, right?

Surely no one was bored enough to put a storage card on the outside while also fucking including internal storage inside.

Thinking that, Lin Shuang closed the panel, held the weapon in one hand, and once again ignited flames that engulfed the entire blade.

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

Just as Lin Shuang thought she had fixed the issue of battle BGM automatically playing, suddenly—

The melodious music started up again.

Lin Shuang's face immediately fell.

"Fuck—!"

What the hell was wrong with it?!

It had internal storage, yet someone had deliberately put a storage card there as a joke?

"Pfft—"

At some point, Silver Wolf had returned and very rudely burst out laughing beside her.

Silver Wolf naturally understood what Lin Shuang had just done. When she had taken it apart earlier, she had discovered that the casing was very tough. Without forcibly damaging it, she couldn't open the shell and therefore couldn't reach the internal speaker.

Now that even the memory card had been removed, the music could still keep playing.

Clearly, that memory card had merely been left there as a decoy for a joke.

Thinking of Lin Shuang being embarrassed, Silver Wolf laughed her head off.

"I'm dying. Who the hell made that greatsword of yours? They did a great job!"

Lin Shuang couldn't help rolling her eyes at her.

"Didn't you leave? Why are you back again?"

"I forgot to tell you something. Who knew I'd come back just in time to see this hilarious scene?"

The smile on Silver Wolf's face simply wouldn't go away. Still, seeing Lin Shuang's increasingly dangerous expression, she stopped dragging things out.

"Kafka and I have another mission at Herta Space Station in one month. Elio said it doesn't matter whether you come or not, but if you do, I can introduce you to Kafka."

After saying that, Silver Wolf's figure once again turned into data and dispersed inside the room.

Lin Shuang raised an eyebrow and pondered Silver Wolf's words.

Why would Elio say it didn't matter whether she participated in the plot or not? Did he want her to join, or didn't he?

PS: I went to Guangzhou to see my girlfriend and almost forgot to update. Sorry, sorry.

Regarding Silver Wolf's final words before leaving,

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

Why had she specifically mentioned Elio, and said it didn't matter whether Lin Shuang went or not?

Could it be because even if she didn't go, the event would still develop smoothly, and she would merely be icing on the cake?

Yet Silver Wolf had specifically added that she could get to know Kafka.

That basically left her no choice.

Kafka only appeared at Herta Space Station and on the Xianzhou in the story, and she didn't have much screen time in either place.

If Lin Shuang missed that chance, she would be incredibly hard to find.

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

Mature people didn't do such boring things.

Lin Shuang was extremely tempted by Kafka's Word Spirit ability.

The results of her draws had some connection to the person she drew from. That connection wasn't necessarily reliable, but perhaps Lin Shuang could draw some other Word Spirit ability from Kafka's rewards.

And going to Herta Space Station would not only let her meet Kafka, but also give her the chance to befriend Herta and Asta. Those two were also characters she could draw from and raise her affinity with.

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

Getting involved in the Herta Space Station incident would be highly worthwhile for her.

So although Silver Wolf had said, "It doesn't matter whether you go or not," Lin Shuang figured that in the future Elio had seen, she had probably gone.

Lin Shuang sat back down on the sofa.

The greatsword turned into flames and was put away. Just as Lin Shuang was about to sort through the music, the system prompt appeared.

Target: Silver Wolf (Corrected)

Affinity: 65 (Feels good)

Relationship: Father and daughter (Relationship reversed)

*Though I expected this, you really have no shame at all. Still, at least the father-daughter relationship has been preserved. Congratulations, congratulations.*

*Considering that establishing such a special relationship is indeed rare, I'll upgrade your reward by one tier as appropriate. I'm Lei Feng.*

Reward: One purple draw

Lin Shuang's eyelid twitched.

Why did this system feel both capable and useless at the same time?

It was useless, sure, but it could draw all kinds of bizarre things from its pool, and they were all very useful. It had every function it should have and plenty it shouldn't.

But if Lin Shuang had to call it capable, she couldn't quite bring herself to say it. After all, it wouldn't even display the target's true identity. If Lin Shuang didn't recognize them, it wouldn't refresh.

"Forget it... At least it's purple."

This was only the second purple draw she had received since coming here. The last one had been the purple draw she got when she tricked Acheron into marrying her.

If that draw hadn't given her the Herrscher Core, Lin Shuang probably still wouldn't have any decent combat ability. She could only have coasted along at Acheron's side.

Thinking of that, Lin Shuang couldn't help looking forward to what this draw would bring.

What if she really drew something good?

Lin Shuang rubbed her little hands together and silently called out in her heart—

Draw!

Whoosh—

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

Punklorde technology is too complicated for ordinary people to understand, so I directly copied over the most practical version for you. You only need to find a B button. After activating the skill and pressing it, you can teleport to anywhere in this universe that you've previously visited.

I gave it a free update and fixed the issue where teleportation required coordinates. But after modifying it, a new bug appeared: even if you have coordinates now, you can't use them to teleport.

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

As for how every skill had to come with a few comments that did nothing except mess with her mindset,

Lin Shuang felt she was nearly immune by now.

She did have some impression of the ability to teleport using coordinates.

Silver Wolf had demonstrated something similar during her first appearance.

As for Lin Shuang's own teleportation ability, which she wasn't sure counted as an upgrade or downgrade, it was indeed very convenient.

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

As far as she knew, nearly every planet and every star system in the universe was constantly moving.

This wasn't something whose precise coordinates could be calculated casually.

So whether it was a downgrade or an upgrade, it was definitely more useful for Lin Shuang.

The activation condition was just a little absurd.

Press B to teleport? No matter what kind of button it was, she had to press B?

With a puzzled expression, Lin Shuang activated the skill. Then she opened the keyboard on her phone and pressed the "B" button on the touchscreen.

A pixel-art teleportation wormhole silently appeared before her.

The pixelated vortex inside the wormhole twisted and rotated in a stuttering motion, making it look exceptionally game-like.

Lin Shuang tried lifting the sofa, sticking it in, and pulling it back out. Only after confirming that the fragile sofa hadn't suffered any damage did she personally carry her sword into the teleportation vortex.

Accompanied by equally pixel-art teleportation effects, once her vision cleared,

Lin Shuang was astonished to find herself in the ruins where she had first performed Bowing to Heaven and Earth with Acheron.

The abandoned room had become a complete mess, but the grimy things on the floor could still be recognized as the crude props Lin Shuang and Acheron had used.

"It really teleported me..."

Looking around the drafty room, Lin Shuang felt somewhat sentimental, yet also found it a little funny.

Still, though the activation condition was rather bizarre, the skill really was useful. It didn't consume much energy either. At least for Lin Shuang, who had a Stellaron providing power, there was absolutely no need to worry about energy.

With this skill, wouldn't she be able to return to the Xianzhou whenever she wanted to eat something delicious?

But if she used teleportation, would that count as sneaking across the border?

As Lin Shuang bent down to pick up the used props from the floor and clean them away, she considered whether directly teleporting back to the Luofu would count as illegal entry if she ever wanted to revisit old places.

In the game, the protagonist teleported all over the Xianzhou and Herta Space Station every day, yet no one ever arrested them.

Who knew whether there were any regulations about it?

After quickly cleaning everything up and teleporting back to her residence on the Xianzhou,

Lin Shuang sent her question to Tingyun, Yukong, Qingque, and Fu Xuan at the same time.

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

Replies came quickly.

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

Fu Xuan told her to ask the Department of Civil Affairs, since they were responsible for such miscellaneous matters. She also reminded Lin Shuang to remain vigilant of Abundant Doses over the next few days.

Yukong curiously asked what kind of spatial teleportation ability Lin Shuang had. She also said that if Lin Shuang could provide a detailed description, she could help ask the General.

Tingyun, meanwhile, cheerfully said that she hoped her benefactor could teleport into her room right now, so she could witness such a miraculous teleportation ability for herself.
