I, System Manufacturer

The reason is simple: such immense power wouldn't be used to covet a Class Card, let alone play such petty tricks.

However, today's events only deepened Miyu's confusion…

In fact, Miyu had a guess from the very beginning: Chu Chen was the administrator of her System Network.

Since Chu Chen hadn't tried too hard to hide this aspect, Miyu wasn't surprised that he noticed.

After seeing Chu Chen use the Petrifying Magic Eye today, she became even more convinced.

After all, Chu Chen had mentioned in the System Network before that he could obtain one reward from each person daily.

Miyu had obtained this Mystic Eye before, but due to the difficulty of explaining system-related matters, she felt that revealing too many of her rewarded abilities would arouse suspicion. Therefore, Miyu hadn't used her Mystic Eye until now. This time, Medea's spatial transfer incident made Miyu understand.

In the future, when she uses the Lancer Class Card, it would be better to silently activate her Mystic Eye.

The Mystic Eye would restrict the opponent's actions, and then she could take them down with a single strike of Gae Bolg!

"Is there something you want to ask me, Miyu…"

Entering the room, Chu Chen's gaze fell upon Miyu. He had noticed from earlier that Miyu seemed to want to say something.

Miyu opened her mouth, looking as if she wanted to speak but hesitated, which made Chu Chen quite curious. What troubles did this girl have?

Sapphire floated beside Miyu, also quite curious about Miyu's thoughts.

After a long pause, Miyu glanced at Sapphire and then slowly began to speak.

"Mr. Chu Chen… are you the administrator?"

Miyu uttered this cryptic sentence, believing that if it were Chu Chen, he should understand.

Chu Chen was slightly taken aback, but not overly surprised. After all, Miyu was a very intelligent child, and it was normal for her to discover things from his occasional odd behaviors. He believed that even if others hadn't noticed yet, as he continued to use more familiar abilities in the future, they would likely sense his abnormality.

Besides, Chu Chen planned to use the name Chu Chen when he went to other worlds to help.

He only had one alt account, which was the administrator, while his main account was the system creator.

"It's just as you think… but I didn't expect Miyu to be the first one to discover my identity. My Miyu is truly smart. Illya, that silly girl, still knows nothing…" Chu Chen's face was filled with a doting smile.

The answer from Chu Chen made Miyu feel a little flutter of joy. Perhaps it was due to Chu Chen's praise, perhaps because her guess was confirmed, or perhaps because a strong and reliable connection had formed between her and Mr. Chu Chen.

"Lady Miyu? Lord Chu Chen?" Sapphire looked at Miyu and Chu Chen with confusion.

Chu Chen cast an amused glance at Sapphire and then gave Miyu a look.

Miyu nodded slightly. She understood Chu Chen's meaning, and she had the same idea in the first place.

Afterward, Miyu took Sapphire back to her room, while Chu Chen…

[System Completion: 65%]

Chu Chen glanced at this progress, muttering to himself that the speed was faster than he had imagined.

Initially, Chu Chen thought it would take five or six days to complete, but now it seemed he could finish the system's creation tomorrow.

Could it be… A flicker of excitement flashed in Chu Chen's eyes.

"Saeko has posted three tasks, and Ai has posted one… Hmm? Two tasks! I see, Saeko's world-saving task was counted as a group task, so it counts as two… In that case!"

[Haibara Ai Triggered Event Check-in: Please make Conan admit he is the Shinigami Elementary School Student, the one who dies wherever he goes!]

[Check-in Time Limit: 24 hours]

[Check-in Reward: Random 1 Ability of Self Increased by 1 Level]

[Illyasviel Triggered Event Check-in: Please download the file "Recording 1" from the System Network and copy it to your phone. After your brother falls asleep, place the recording by his ear and play it on repeat!]

[Check-in Time Limit: 10 minutes]

[Check-in Reward: Luck EX]

Chu Chen released all the check-in tasks in one go, aiming for a critical boost in system completion.

Instantly, the System Network exploded!

Busujima Saeko: "What is this? A task outbreak?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Woken up for no reason! And then found so many tasks!"

Haibara Ai: "But what I'm most interested in is Illya's task! Luck EX, will Illya finally be free from the Blood of the Unlucky? But this Recording 1…"

Illya: "...If I remember correctly, there's only one recording in the network..."

Administrator: "That's right, Illya, it's exactly what you're thinking… Come on! Go torment your brother!"

Haibara Ai: "..."

Miyu: "..."

Busujima Saeko: "..."

Yukino Yukinoshita: "Illya, how did your brother provoke the creator of this system! It's one thing to have a task like persecuting your brother appear once, but a second time!"

Illya: "Impossible! I will never do this! I'd rather give up on this task. You know this is my home! If Sella hears about this, my brother will be dead!"

[Illyasviel has downloaded Recording 1.mp4]

Illyasviel: "!!!!!"

Administrator: "..."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

Busujima Saeko: "..."

Miyu: "..."

Haibara Ai: "As expected, the true nature of humanity is... 'Heh, I was wrong!'"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "You say you'll never do it, but your hands are honest enough to download the recording!"

Illya: "..."

Chapter 32: Is it the System's Fault? No! It's Shirou's Fault!

My name is Alicia! Alicia Testarossa!

My mother's name is Precia Testarossa! Yes, yes! A mother who loves me very much!

In my home, besides me and my mother, there's also a little cat named Linith...

After all, Mom always has to go to work. At times like these, Linith is the only one who can keep me company.

Actually... I've always had a small wish! Yes! It's really just a small wish.

That is—cough, cough, cough... Alicia wants to be an older sister! That's right! Just be an older sister!

It's a pity Mom didn't have a younger sister for me... So I told Mom that I want a younger sister!

Because if I had a younger sister, when Mom isn't here, there would be someone to keep me company. Moreover, Mom could go to work with peace of mind, without worrying if I'd be lonely at home alone.

Of course, Alicia also has a little selfish desire. If I had a younger sister, the house would be livelier. Eating meals with just two people always felt a bit lonely... I heard that most families have three people, but our family only has two. Without a dad, I can only hope for a younger sister...

Huh? Oh, right! Without a dad, how can there be a sister? Hehe... I think I'm thinking a bit too much.

Hmm? What is that...

This day, Mom went to work as usual, and only Linith and I were home! So boring...

Just then, the sky suddenly lit up with a dazzling glow... I couldn't help but blink my eyes.

What is that... It looks so beautiful, but that direction seems to be where Mom works.

Jumping off the sofa, I quickly went to the balcony to watch the brilliant light, and couldn't help but blink again.

Huh? Why do I feel like I want to fall asleep... Woo woo woo woo... So sleepy...

[Magical Girl Selection System loaded successfully. This system has determined that the host cannot autonomously open the beginner's gift package. The beginner's gift package will be automatically opened, rewarding the host with a Heroic Spirit Foundation ×1, which will fully merge with the host!]

[Detected that the host's timeline and the timeline of this system's creator are different. Your opinion will be sought on whether to synchronize the timeline with the timeline of the system's creator!]

[Detected that the host cannot choose autonomously. This system will automatically help the host make a choice!]

[Timeline synchronization started! 3! 2! 1! Timeline synchronization begins!]

"It's actually Alicia..." Chu Chen couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face.

After assigning five tasks to everyone, Chu Chen instantly achieved a critical hit in system completion.

And this critical hit level is based on the number of world-line changes in the worlds.

One world is 2x, two worlds is 4x. In a blink of an eye, Chu Chen completed the new system manufacturing.

The latest system is the Selection System, which can make choices at certain moments, and the rewards obtained will be completely different depending on the choice... Moreover, the way this Selection System chooses hosts is very different from the Check-in System.

The systems that the Check-in System can choose from are definitely the same as the timeline Chu Chen is in.

However, after the Selection System is activated, the system can directly encompass all potential candidates from the past, present, and future. Therefore, the Selection System can also select Alicia, who died before the start of the main story of Nanoha. After selecting someone from a different timeline, the host will be given a choice: whether to synchronize the timeline or not.

Once the timeline is synchronized, people from the past can directly come to the future, and people from the future can directly go to the past, becoming people of that time point... As for time paradoxes, there's no need to worry. People from the past will directly swap consciousness with their future selves, and people from the future can swap consciousness with their past selves.

This is similar to Tokisaki Kurumi's Sixth Bullet, where she can transfer her consciousness to her past self.

This is a true temporal operation, not a parallel world operation, so there's no need to worry about creating parallel worlds.

By the way, Alicia did not enter the System Network. The reason is very simple: the Selection System and the Check-in System have different principles. If the holder of the Selection System were to enter the System Network, it might cause bugs. Chu Chen still needs to research the issues within. In fact, Chu Chen is very curious about what will happen when the holder of the Selection System enters the System Network.

Will the entire System Network become like a strategy game, becoming the strategy group?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen found it quite amusing.

Chu Chen: "..."

His gaze focused on the rewards of the last two people, and his expression became extremely interesting.

Tsk tsk... Forget about Yukino, what kind of rewards are these for Illya!

Grew another centimeter within Liangtian, and what's this about hair smoothness... Why don't they just give her a bottle of Rejoice!

Ilya's truly pathetic... Chu Chen couldn't help but sympathize with her.

However... Luck EX... Chu Chen silently mourned for Emiya Shirou. He figured the guy was completely blown away tonight!

Silently, and with great kindness, Chu Chen uploaded this picture directly—

He uploaded it!

Administrator: "Illya Daily Reward.JPG!"

Illyasviel: "!!!!!"

Haibara Ai: "Whoa! Ilya, what kind of rewards are these! Hair smoothness? Height?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "...So pathetic..."

Miyu: "Ilya, do you want me to lend you my Noble Phantasm?"

The pathetic nature of this reward made Miyu couldn't help but say such a sympathetic thing.

Busujima Saeko: "So, was I the only one who noticed that Luck EX? Ilya, is your brother okay?"

Illyasviel: "..."

Haibara Ai: "Watson, you've found the blind spot! I'm just as curious about how your brother is doing now!"

Illyasviel: "Don't ask me how my brother is! If you ask, he's beyond saving!"

Administrator: "What a pathetic brother... It's truly unfortunate to encounter someone as troublesome as Ilya!"
