The Dimensional Codex of Destruction

He still remembered that his system tasks would update based on his surroundings, and once the day's tasks were determined, they wouldn't change.

But today he had met Kiana, one of the heroines of Honkai Impact 3rd. He was sure that tomorrow's tasks would definitely change.

The system's tasks refreshed at midnight. With two heroines, he might even get double the task rewards.

Soon, the tasks refreshed. Qin Mo rolled his eyes as he looked at the new tasks.

This was worse than not refreshing at all.

His original expectation was only half fulfilled: the tasks were doubled, but the rewards were not.

The tasks of "Talk to Mei, give her flowers, confess your love, and reach the top of Senba Academy" had changed to "Talk to Kiana, talk to Mei, have a meal with Kiana, and have a meal with Mei."

The fifth task was one he had already completed today: "Eliminate Honkai Beasts."

The task reward was still one Crystal.

He shouldn't have held any expectations.

The next day, Qin Mo went early to complete the task of eliminating Honkai Beasts. With his previous experience, dealing with these low-level Honkai Beasts was no longer a problem.

Then, at noon, he went to find Mei and have lunch with her. Although the tasks of giving flowers and confessing love were gone, Qin Mo still maintained the habit.

Unknowingly, this had become like a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Moreover, Qin Mo saw that Mei prepared a new spot for flowers every day. If he didn't bring flowers, wouldn't she have prepared it for nothing?

In the evening, he went to find Kiana.

"Kiana! Come out, I'm treating you to dinner!"

Kiana opened the door. Even through the door, Qin Mo could notice the messy room inside. Unlike Mei's meticulously organized space, Kiana was completely uninhibited.

"Why did you suddenly think of treating me, this lady, to a meal?"

"Why so many questions? Just tell me if you're coming or not."

"Sure, sure, wait for me to change."

The two of them found a roadside stall and started eating ramen. Qin Mo knew Kiana had a big appetite, so he could only find places that served large portions. It wasn't that he didn't want to go to a buffet, but he had just learned that Kiana, having been here for less than two days, had already been blacklisted by all the buffet restaurants in the city.

Oh, and quite a few of them were blacklisted because they were chain restaurants.

"Kiana, didn't I ask you to do me a favor before?"

Hearing Qin Mo's words, Kiana reacted, "Okay, I knew you were being so nice for a reason. So, what do you need my help with?"

Qin Mo took out his phone, which he had prepared beforehand, and pretended to operate it. He opened a gacha interface for a game and placed it on the table.

"Help me with a gacha pull. I know you had great luck when you were little."

Chapter 8: The Undying Dog

"I had good luck?"

Kiana herself didn't have much self-awareness and instinctively reached out to take the phone.

"No, just pull like this."

If she had taken it, it would have been exposed. This interface wasn't displayed by the game; Qin Mo had shrunk his system panel to the same size as the phone screen and simply covered it. He was also moving the panel in sync as he moved the phone. He had practiced this for a long time yesterday while waiting for the tasks to refresh.

"Alright, strange."

Kiana didn't suspect anything and reached out to tap the ten-pull option.

The two of them stared at the gacha interface's light effects together. Qin Mo didn't even skip the animation to speed up the gacha process, but instead watched the light effects end and the cards appear one by one.

The first card appeared before Qin Mo with a purple glow.

Purple meant A-rank, and this time, an S-rank, which was gold, was guaranteed. This meant this A-rank wasn't the pity pull.

Kiana's luck was truly outrageously good!

Tree of Harvest (A)

Effect: Can be planted on a chosen piece of land, generating various fruits. After harvest, it will be full again the next day.

Description: A card originating from the Greed Island, can only be used once. The tree will die immediately after being transplanted.

Although its use was not great, it was an A-rank item with no negative effects. Overall, it was more worthwhile than some consumable food items.

After several more blue consumable items, a golden glow appeared on the screen.

Dog Talisman (S)

Effect: Immortality, immunity to all fatal attacks, keeps the holder's body in a youthful state.

Description: One of the Twelve Talismans.

"..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Qin Mo suddenly jumped up.

"Ahhh! I got it!"

Qin Mo suddenly hugged Kiana, startling her greatly.

"Huh? Huh? What's wrong?"

Kiana was still in a daze. She had only thought this was a game, and she could only see the names of the items that appeared. Their effects only appeared in Qin Mo's mind.

So, she didn't know the significance of this S-rank item to Qin Mo.

Qin Mo had been searching for something that would prevent him from dying in the Honkai world.

Originally, he had just hoped to find a way to increase his resistance or adaptability to Honkai Energy. Now, although his adaptability hadn't increased, ... he wouldn't die anymore, so did he still need it?

Although he would still be eroded by Honkai Energy, as long as he was alive, it was fine. He knew that there were many things in this world that could eliminate Honkai Energy, but they couldn't be used as medicine to treat Honkai disease because he would still die after using them.

Without a second word, Qin Mo equipped the newly acquired Dog Talisman and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the gacha results ended. After the Dog Talisman, two more A-rank items appeared.

Beauty Hot Spring and Shadow Dancer.

Both were cards from Greed Island. The former, like the Tree of Harvest, needed to be placed somewhere to generate a hot spring that beautified the skin. It only took thirty minutes to make the skin as smooth as a baby's. The latter was a set of cards, a total of one thousand cards. By giving one card to someone else, it could replace their identity for twenty-four hours.

For example, if Kiana had an exam, Qin Mo could give her a card and take the exam in her place. No one would notice, and they would think Kiana took it.

However, you would still be you, and there would be no changes, nor would you gain anyone else's abilities. Places that required their fingerprints to open could not be opened with your own.

Moreover, it had to be given to someone else. While it could be forced, if you couldn't defeat the other party, and they refused to accept it, it would be meaningless.

But it was enough!

Since they were all free, he only needed the Dog Talisman.

Speaking of which, Qin Mo finally confirmed that this gacha system seemed to have a chain mechanism. After drawing an item from one place, the probability of drawing something from the same world would increase.

He had also drawn many items from Ezio's world before. Not to mention the Wrist Blade that he hadn't used until now, he had also drawn many other swords and hidden weapons, all of which were of white quality and had no value.

"You're too much."

Kiana patted the wrinkled clothes on her body from the hug, but she wasn't angry.

"But looking at you, this young lady is really amazing, isn't she?"

Indeed amazing, in terms of luck alone...

"Ah, Miss Kiana, you're too amazing. You really saved my life."

More than just a life. An effect that prevented death counted for countless lives.

He unobtrusively put away his phone.

"I've decided! No more ramen! Let's go eat sukiyaki! We'll eat to our hearts' content today!"

"Ah? Okay!"

Qin Mo put down the half-eaten ramen, and Kiana finished her ramen in one gulp before following Qin Mo to the next place.

Even now, Kiana fully displayed the Kaslana family's big appetite trait.

After ordering many dishes, the two began to feast. Qin Mo quickly became worried. Although he had saved money for a long time, it was almost not enough in front of Kiana. It would be awkward if he didn't have money to pay the bill later.

Sukiyaki was not cheap to begin with. After Kiana finished her feast, Qin Mo's money had shrunk by eighty percent.

It seemed he had to thank the bowl of ramen he had before coming here.

However, Qin Mo didn't feel bad. On one hand, it was because Kiana had helped him a lot. On the other hand, he didn't care about this little money, as it wouldn't be of much use in the Honkai world.

"Ah~ I'm so full."

Kiana leaned against Qin Mo as they walked.

"I haven't eaten this much in a long time."

Hearing this, Qin Mo's expression became awkward.

"So you deliberately took advantage of me?"

"Hehehe..."

She smiled sheepishly. "Being with Qin Mo, I feel like I'm home, just like I do with my old man."

"It seems we were very familiar with each other before. Even though I can't remember, I feel a sense of familiarity."

No, you're just too lonely.

Qin Mo didn't say it out loud because he knew he was just making it up. But he didn't mind treating it as fact.

A person with bad luck meets a small swindler, who would only deceive her for a while before breaking her heart.

A person with good luck meets a big swindler, who deceives her for a lifetime. At least she would be happy while she was alive.

In terms of luck, perhaps no one in this world could surpass Kiana.

Looking at Kiana, who was still leaning on him as she walked, Qin Mo didn't mind continuing to deceive her like this.

Chapter 9: Love Triangle?

In February, Senba Academy reopened, and Kiana officially enrolled.

However, this girl...

She enrolled purely to sleep, didn't she!

Seeing Kiana sleeping on a table in the auditorium during the opening ceremony, Qin Mo shook his head. He had forgotten that the first day of school required an entire morning of opening ceremony.

He had no choice but to squat on the roof of the auditorium and wait for today's opening ceremony to end.

For bad students, classes, reading books, and meetings are all excellent lullabies.

Kiana basically slept through the entire opening ceremony.

By the time she woke up, the opening ceremony was just ending, with instructions for an orderly departure being given.

It had to be said, this skill was something many people couldn't learn.

Kiana walked out of the auditorium with the crowd and suddenly heard a small commotion ahead.

Listening carefully, she heard words like "prince," "romance," and "queen."

When she looked over...

"Qin Mo!?"

Kiana saw a familiar figure walking towards the teaching building with a girl.

"!!!!"

She even saw the girl holding a bouquet of roses.

"What's their situation!? Isn't this a girls' school!? Why is there a guy here?"
