Fusion with the Weather Cube

Just as Qilin was secretly thinking, With a system this unreliable, Su Bai really has his work cut out for him, Su Bai's voice rang out:

"Qilin."

"Hm?" Qilin looked up.

"Xiao Xue said you should step back a bit first."

"Huh? Oh, okay." Though she didn't know what that system called Xiao Xue was planning to have Su Bai do, Qilin obediently backed away a few meters.

Once she had moved back, Xiao Xue spoke to Su Bai:

"All right, you can click to fuse with the Weather Cube now. Remember the steps I told you earlier."

Su Bai nodded, brimming with confidence:

"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot. I'm pretty clever!" (Automatically switch to the tone of Baobao or Chi Meng.)

Xiao Xue silently swallowed her retort and simply opened the diary's livestream function.

At the same time, everyone who had a Diary Instance received a livestream invitation from the system.

"Huh? The diary... can livestream too?" Qilin asked in surprise as the prompt appeared in her mind.

"Whoa! A livestream? That's amazing!" On the other end, Rui Mengmeng's eyes widened with curiosity.

At the Merlo Heavenly Court, Hexi raised an eyebrow at the invitation. "Oh? What new trick is the little guy up to now?"

Keisha replied calmly, "I'm not sure. We'll find out if we watch."

Aside from Qilin, who was there in person, the other three clicked to enter the livestream.

[Welcome "I Want to Be a God-King" to the livestream~]

[Welcome "Little Milk Sha" to the livestream~]

[Welcome "Thirty-Thousand-Year-Old Aunt" to the livestream~]

Rui Mengmeng was the first to speak. "Huh? So I'm not the only one!"

"Pfft." A rare smile appeared on Keisha's usually impassive face. "'Aunt'... It really is fitting."

A faint shadow appeared at Hexi's temple.

Hearing her best friend laugh without the slightest restraint, Hexi experienced for the first time what it felt like to be someone else's joke. She was always the one making fun of others—who would dare tease her?

"What are you laughing at, Little Milk Sha?" Hexi tried to regain the upper hand, her gaze drifting over Keisha's chest. "We're sisters, so how come there's such a difference between us?"

This time, Keisha's expression darkened slightly.

"But..." Hexi grew serious. "As expected, we aren't the only ones who have this diary."

Keisha's expression turned serious as well:

"Xiao Xue said that originally, she was going to give a copy to every 'named female character' in this world, as well as the characters that child 'likes.' Something went wrong, so for now she only gave it to people of reliable character who wouldn't hurt him."

Hexi nodded, her gaze settling on the name in the livestream:

"True. But 'I Want to Be a God-King'... that's a pretty blunt name."

"I wonder if she's the girl named Qilin mentioned in the diary."

After talking it over, Keisha and Hexi reached an understanding: for now, they would use the diary's contents as a point of reference while also looking for the diary's owner to uncover his true intentions.

And to find out which of their guesses was right.

As for whether the world they lived in was merely a novel, anime, TV show, or comic—

Neither of them was particularly shaken by the thought.

After all, every joy, every pain, every stretch of quiet that they had experienced across those thirty thousand years was another real day they had lived.

The years were long, but never false.

They stopped discussing it and turned their attention back to the livestream.

As they watched the boy on screen, all three viewers found themselves studying him closely.

So this is Su Bai?

The diary's owner, the transmigrator with a system?

Well... he does seem a little... "simple."

Keisha and Hexi exchanged a glance, similar thoughts passing through their eyes.

On the other end, Rui Mengmeng cupped her face and murmured in admiration:

"Wow... he really is handsome."

Meanwhile, Su Bai was following Xiao Xue's instructions and carrying out the steps one by one.

First, he clicked to claim it, then slowly closed his eyes.

As his eyes shut in the livestream, a strangely shaped cube appeared out of thin air in front of him. It gradually turned into a stream of light and merged with his body.

The three women watching, along with Qilin at the scene, held their breath.

They quickly recalled what it was:

One of the Beginner Gift Pack's contents mentioned in the diary—

The Weather Cube.

The moment the cube had completely merged with Su Bai, a sudden change came over him.

A breeze rose beneath his feet, lifting him slowly into the air.

A deep, rumbling hum sounded as lightning coursed around him. A blazing ring of sunlight flared behind him, while a mass of lead-gray clouds gathered overhead.

He opened his eyes.

His left pupil was like a burning flame, while his right resembled frozen hail.

A moment later, the surrounding phenomena gradually faded, and Su Bai's eyes returned to normal.

Seeing that he had calmed down, Qilin walked over and examined him with curiosity:

"Is it over?"

Watching Qilin enter the livestream frame, Keisha and Hexi exchanged a glance.

So this was Qilin. The Super God King was someone else.

Su Bai nodded at Qilin. "Mm. It's done."

"Then, do you want to... practice a little?" Remembering how protagonists in novels and anime always eagerly tried out their new abilities, Qilin couldn't help asking.

But Su Bai shook his head:

"No need. I already know how to use it."

At that, Qilin and the two onlookers, Keisha and Hexi, all twitched at the corners of their mouths.

The same thought occurred to them at once:

Is this guy Gintoki?!

Seeing that he didn't seem inclined to try it out, Qilin said:

"If you're not going to test it, and we've finished what we came here for... can we put this pocket dimension away now?"

Su Bai shook his head.

"Not yet."

Qilin was taken aback. "What else is there?"

The next second, she suddenly realized something, and her eyes widened slightly:

"Could it be... you're planning to help me activate my Super Gene? Give me superpowers too?"

"Oh? This young woman has a Super Gene too?"

Hexi raised an eyebrow, then quickly understood.

Right. How could an important "female character" in the story not have a Super Gene?

Su Bai nodded, then shook his head.

"Xiao Xue said your Super Gene is too lousy, Qilin."

He spoke earnestly, then continued:

"So, I'm planning to give you the Resonance Activation Device."

Hearing this, Qilin's eyes widened. A surge of excitement and gratitude welled up inside her, along with a faint trace of uncertainty.

But she quickly suppressed her turbulent emotions and gently shook her head:

"No, keep it for yourself. There's still Queen Morgana, isn't there? Right now, improving your strength and keeping you safe are what matter most."
