Miraculous Forger Starting from Honkai

"90%."

"Isn't that pretty high?"

"No, I mean there's a 90% chance that you and your career will shatter together, a 9% chance that your talent will become controllable, and a 1% chance of successfully advancing."

"Shatter?"

"It means you die."

"?!!" —Chen Li.

Who the hell would dare try that?!

"Master, what are you looking for?" Pixie watched Chen Li's movements curiously.

"I'm looking for the unbind button. Come to think of it, I never said I had to bind this system, did I?" Chen Li kept flipping through the system panel.

"It binds automatically. And what do you mean by that? Don't you want me anymore?" Pixie's smile froze, and her expression gradually turned cold.

"No, of course not. I like you so much." Feeling an inexplicable sense of danger rise in his heart, Chen Li hurriedly shook his head.

"Whew, you scared me. Master, don't make jokes like that again. The Miracle System will only ever have one master." Pixie smiled again.

"Really?"

"Mm. The system can only lose its master; it cannot be unbound."

Damn it!

How was this binding? This was kidnapping, wasn't it?!

PS: New year, new beginnings. This "newbie" is setting out, so please take care of me. (After writing ten million words, I'm still a newbie in the new year!)

11

I wish everyone wealth, good luck, happiness, and joy in the new year. Especially me!

I also hope I can get a girlfriend!

(This book has nothing to do with my previous book or the one before that. The protagonist is still surnamed Chen purely because the author likes it—since the author is also surnamed Chen.) 12

"Miraculous Forging Guide"

"Right, it is kidnapping." Pixie's smile remained gentle.

But Chen Li could not smile at all.

Looking down at the Forging Table Pixie had conjured before him, as well as his personal panel that could no longer respond to him, Chen Li gained a new understanding of this system's power.

At the very least, it was stronger than an evil god. That was the first thought that popped into Chen Li's mind.

"With power as great as yours, why make things difficult for a little guy like me?" Chen Li sighed.

After Chen Li clearly stated that he would not do something so risky, he was kidnapped.

Chen Li was currently in his own living room, but a barrier flowing with seven-colored light had trapped him together with a Forging Table that had appeared out of thin air.

"Didn't you still have one chance at immunity? Why are you getting scared so quickly, Master?" Pixie complained.

"There's an immunity chance?" Chen Li froze.

"Yeah, didn't I say so?" Pixie froze as well.

"You didn't!"

"..." Pixie could not help but begin wondering whether she had turned hostile too quickly.

"Anyway, Master, I'm doing this for your own good."

"You think I'd believe that?"

"Anyway, forge first." Pixie said helplessly.

"...Can I use those two Relics as materials?" The kidnapped Chen Li helplessly pointed at the two Relics.

Relics were special items with bizarre powers.

While possessing nearly unique special abilities, using a Relic also required one to be prepared to pay a price.

Relics were especially complicated even in this world of exceptionally complicated components.

One was a seven-colored conch stored in the silver box Chen Li had seized from the shield warrior, while the other was a broken sword hanging on the wall of Chen Li's living room.

Call to the Distance: After using this Relic, you will randomly establish a communication channel with a living being in the current world.

Side effect: You may not refuse the first reasonable request made by that being.

Note: When not in use, please store it in a soundproof sealed space. Otherwise, its effect will trigger automatically.

Knight's Broken Sword: The day the broken sword is reforged shall be the day the knight returns! When you encounter difficulties, you may seek help from the broken sword. Perhaps a kind knightly spirit will appear and help resolve your troubles.

Side effect: Perform one righteous deed within three days.

Storage method: None.

"No. Their attributes don't match. Using these two Relics for forging would have an even higher failure rate than 90%. For the sake of saving resources, I will not allow you to do something so foolish." Pixie said with a serious expression.

"These two Relics are both related to time, space, and fate to some extent." Chen Li argued.

Both of them were Relics that "belonged" to Chen Li.

"No."

"...Then there are several Relics in my basement that have been sealed away because their side effects are extremely strong."

"I saw them, but no."

"Then what do you want to do? Just say it!" The kidnapped Chen Li was deeply unhappy.

"Use this." Pixie lightly waved her hand, and a photograph appeared before Chen Li.

"This is?" Chen Li looked at the photograph, which constantly flickered through different scenes. His expression grew increasingly grave, because he saw fleeting images of his parents upon it—a couple in some ancient dynasty, crouching before a little beggar, staring intently at the beggar's broken bowl as they tried to trade a shoddy glass bead for it.

"This represents every person in this world gifted in time, space, and fate."

"???" —Chen Li.

What are you trying to do?

"And most importantly, your parents are among them too." Pixie continued speaking to herself.

"How is that important? Do transmigrators absolutely have to lose both parents or something?" Chen Li immediately interrupted her.

The little Black Chess Pieces had finally shown its true colors, huh?

"Because at present, your parents are the most important people to you. Only the version of you in the future—a supreme consequentialist shaped by losing the people most important to him—might use the Miracle System to save more worlds yearning for miracles."

"Save the world?" Chen Li found it hard to believe.

You want me to sacrifice my parents, then go save the world with you? Are you sick?

This saving-the-world thing... is it actually legit?

"That's right, save the world. Master, the Miracle System has limits. I learned something during my long journey of saving worlds: the gentler and more accommodating one is, the less likely one is to save the world! The greed in people's hearts is enough to Destroy the world!"

"As the Miracle System, after witnessing countless worlds be destroyed, I developed this darkened consciousness. I realized that the system truly needed living beings as hosts, otherwise it could never defeat those greedy and cunning creatures! So the mission of newly born me was to find a suitable candidate, and then..."

"And then?" Seeing Pixie grow increasingly fervent, Chen Li sensed that things were going badly.

"Create a Savior who only looks at results! A Savior who determines the direction of the world through personal will rather than being controlled by the world! Grant miracles to those who yearn for miracles, but let those greedy, endlessly demanding, insatiable rabble fend for themselves, or even Cut the Weeds and Eliminate the Roots!"

"This is my resolve!"

Pixie's tone gradually changed from calm to frenzied, and black mist from nowhere stained her clothes and silver hair!

Even the white stockings she wore turned black!

"???" Chen Li nearly failed to catch his breath.

Chen Li could not even tell whether she was extreme or conservative anymore.

Or rather... extremely conservative?

"Come, Master. Forging a Miracle Item is very simple. Put your Personal Career Panel and the photograph together, then give them a light strike with the Miracle Hammer."

"Now, please sacrifice every person in the world gifted in time, space, and fate, as well as the people most important to you, then save the world with me!" The darkened Pixie maintained her gentle smile.

At the snap of Pixie's fingers, a dazzling Forging Hammer appeared in Chen Li's previously empty right hand.

"..."

"Master, what are you waiting for? Do you need my help?" Seeing that Chen Li had not moved, Pixie leaned toward him.

Looking at the photograph flashing with scenes, then at Pixie who seemed to be urging him on, anger rose in Chen Li's heart.

Fine, fine, you want forging?!

I'll forge it for you!

Chen Li grabbed the photograph and threw it aside, then slammed his head toward the Forging Table.

But something touched the Forging Table before Chen Li did: the system panel that had been floating before him and, according to Chen Li's research, always maintained a fixed distance from him.

This Forging Table seemed to possess the power to turn illusory things into physical entities. Chen Li had not guessed wrong.

If he had guessed wrong? Then he was screwed.

"Huh?!!"

The instant Pixie saw Chen Li raise the Miracle Hammer and viciously smash it down toward the two overlapping panels before him, she was utterly dumbfounded.

"Bang!"

The moment the hammer fell, Chen Li's mind went blank. All five senses vanished, as though he had fallen into an endless Abyss.

Countless bizarre scenes rushed toward him: the prayers of countless people, their joy at being saved, their endlessly unsatisfied greedy demands, the despair when everything was destroyed...

Just as Chen Li was at a complete loss over it all, he saw an extremely faint point of light.

Though that tiny light was like a lone star in the night, he could not bear to look away from it for even a moment.

As the light drew nearer, Chen Li reached out without thinking and grabbed it.

After a moment of daze, Chen Li opened his eyes again.

"Ah, it really succeeded." Pixie's soft sigh rang out, mixed with endless joy and excitement.

Chen Li instinctively dodged to the side, only to find that Pixie was not looking for trouble. Following her excited gaze, he saw that the Personal Career Panel and system panel that had originally been placed on the Forging Table had disappeared, leaving behind only... a book?

"Mm-hm, so it became this kind of thing in the end? It's pretty nice. This counts as the most suitable funeral in my mind." Pixie kept nodding at the book.

"Funeral?" Chen Li froze.

"Mm, a funeral. If the Miracle Light had not been about to burn out, I would not have been born as its final spark during its dying flare. Miracle Light is the true name of the main body."

"And the reason it was given the name system was naturally to better play the role of a villain with sinister motives. I rather like that character setting, so you can continue calling me that during this final remaining minute." Pixie nodded again, turned to Chen Li, and smiled.

At the same time, Chen Li could see that Pixie's body was gradually beginning to dissipate from the bottom upward, breaking apart bit by bit.

"Playing a role? So that means..." Chen Li suddenly realized something.

"Yes, I lied to you. The Miracle Power of the Miracle System had long been mostly exhausted by indiscriminately and endlessly granting all kinds of miracles. After arriving in this world, the only things of value left were the final bit of origin Miracle Power and the system that served as the main body."

"By my judgment, with my personality and abilities, I could no longer turn things around. So I planned to entrust myself to a suitable person and let them inherit the Last Light of Miracles. And you were the best candidate I could find. After countless failures, seeing someone suitable to entrust with it at the very end counts as a miracle too, doesn't it?" Pixie said with a smile.

To forge a Miracle Item, both sides had to be "willing."

And forging a Miracle Item carried no risk whatsoever. In other words, once the forging began, the Miracle System would inevitably be destroyed.

Pixie worried that Chen Li would refuse if he learned the truth, so she tricked him once.

"Then just now..."

"It was all an act. After being deceived so often, naturally I learned how to act. I'm very sorry for deceiving you." Pixie apologized with complete sincerity.

"???"

Chen Li had thought she was dumb and easy to fool, but he was the one who had been tricked?
