Someone in Honkai, the Cheat is Bouncing

With a rumble, the cabin expanded, its space multiplying many times over as a flat, open area suddenly appeared.

Please be advised: simulated Honkai Beast projections will be released shortly.

At the same time, Ren Yu opened his half-lidded eyes.

Honkai Emperor!

The apex of lower-tier Honkai Beasts, and the upper limit of what the training cabin developed by Schicksal could simulate. Anything beyond that would require an immersive consciousness device.

For Ren Yu, this was actually the best-case scenario, since he wasn't sure if his power could be used in consciousness mode.

If it couldn't, that would be awkward—after all, he wielded strength that didn't belong to this world.

I wonder when I'll be able to equip a second badge.

Ren Yu glanced at his left hand. At some point, a deep blue ring had appeared on his ring finger.

At the same time, a sense of understanding surged within him.

It was as if something was asking him: what badge did he want to use?

Ren Yu focused his mind, and instantly, a massive sphere appeared before him—visible only to him.

Around the sphere, countless badges slowly revolved, some bright, some dim.

The most dazzling among them were:

—Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon; Heroic Spirit Killer; Faceless One; Flowing Cloud Coiled Dragon Pendant; Hound of the Baskervilles; Berserker Heart...

Yes, when Ren Yu had crossed over, he had brought his Bouncing Warehouse along with him.

His greatest reliance was, in fact, the equipment and badges from Bouncing.

Let's go with the Dog Badge.

Suddenly, the massive sphere before him stopped spinning. Countless badges faded away, leaving only one shining brightly.

Chapter 4: Not Bad, Barely Enough

Once the badge was selected, a surge of immense power instantly spread through every limb and joint of Ren Yu's body.

A warm, soothing sensation washed over him, as if he now possessed inexhaustible strength.

Clenching his fist, Ren Yu carefully sensed the changes within himself. With the badge's amplification, he was confident he could take down this "Honkai Emperor" with ease.

Please select your weapon and armor.

The mechanical voice rang out again, urging Ren Yu to choose a suitable weapon.

"I need a longsword—something sturdy. No armor needed," Ren Yu said clearly.

Valkyrie armor required Stigmata to power it. As a man, he naturally had no Stigmata implanted, nor did he deign to use such things.

The same went for firearms.

Without Stigmata, those high-tech gadgets packed with cutting-edge technology would perform worse than an ordinary firearm.

He could still force their use if he wanted, but it would drain the energy from his badges.

Ren Yu wasn't willing to do that, so he simply opted for the melee weapon with the lowest energy consumption.

Sturdy longsword... Understood...

The ground split open, and a ceremonial table slowly rose from within the cabin. A sheathed longsword rested quietly atop it.

The first thing Ren Yu noticed was the red scabbard, engraved with birds and beasts. Then came the black grip, coated with an anti-slip layer. Finally, his eyes landed on the knotted sword tassel, adorned with a small jade ornament.

Please use the Specialized Standard Longsword, Type IV.

Notification: Honkai Beast projection will be released in one minute. Please prepare.

Reaching out, Ren Yu took the longsword and weighed it in his hand. Perhaps because his strength had changed under the badge's enhancement, he couldn't feel much weight at all.

Clang.

He drew the blade from its scabbard, revealing that even the sword itself was a dark crimson, with only the sharp edge occasionally flashing a bright red.

Not bad. Barely enough.

Ren Yu swung it a few times casually, offering a fair assessment.

He no longer suppressed the Emblem Energy within the emblem and slowly channeled it into the long blade.

Hum

A soft hum immediately rang out.

In an instant, the red on the blade grew even richer, and the entire weapon exuded a sharp, fierce aura.

Unbreakable, unstoppable—nothing it couldn't cut.

That was the first impression the standard-issue long blade gave off after being infused with Emblem Energy.
