Meanwhile, Qiji, completely unaware of what was happening, smugly dodged her first attack and was about to unleash a torrent of flirtatious remarks—
Then they were immediately blasted into a state of utter stupidity by the second, third, and fourth waves of fire rain!
Whee!
"Looked for a long time? Couldn't find it, just grabbed it."
Qiji told him frankly.
However, when Suyo heard these words, it was not the case at all.
My brother is worried that I'll feel guilty accepting it!
Waaaaah, my brother is so great!
"By the way, don't you want to see the Myth Fragment?" Qiji suddenly asked, remembering something.
When he told Suyo the truth, he was still vaguely worried that the latter might become greedy...
After all, this is Myth Fragment!
In the Echo Realm, let alone siblings, even the closest of blood relatives have turned against each other because of this.
However, Suyo's response was merely a perfunctory echo:
"Great, I've never seen what Myth Fragment looks like before."
It was really just curiosity.
And, as if wanting to satisfy her brother's desire to show off...
This guy doesn't seem to have much interest in Myth Fragment or anything like that...
Even when Qiji really took out the Myth Fragment and placed it in front of Suyo, the girl only tilted her head to look at it, and then, as if remembering something, suddenly felt overjoyed for Qiji:
"Brother, with this, will you become stronger?"
My brother will surely become the strongest Guardian Spirit in the Sea of Consciousness!
"Great! Then I can be the strongest Guardian Spirit's sister!"
Rather than becoming the strongest, Suyo wants to be the younger sister of the strongest person.
Seeing Suyo's reaction, Qiji suddenly felt a little embarrassed, remembering his earlier thought of asking Suyo to help him clear the mines at the evacuation point.
Or should we just forget about it?
He can simply wait a little longer in the Sea of Consciousness.
Just when Qiji himself was about to give up on the plan, Suyo suddenly slapped his forehead and had a flash of inspiration:
"Brother, so you want to go to the Mythic Extraction Point, but you're worried about the Isolde Family lying in ambush there? Why don't I go scout ahead for you?"
Suyo was incredibly proud of his extraordinary wisdom!
She can finally help her brother!
"This... this isn't a good idea, is it? If you die in the Sea of Consciousness, you'll be weak for a long time when you return to reality. What if you haven't recovered by the time of the Grand Competition..."
"But this will help my brother, won't it? If my brother becomes stronger, it's the same as me becoming stronger!"
As for the grand competition, there shouldn't be any problem, right?
After all, my brother just gave me an Epic Fragment, and now I have three fragments fully socketed!
Even if I'm weak, I'm sure I can beat that guy Qiji!
Besides, the competition is still half a month away, so things should be back to normal by now!
I might not see my brother for the next two weeks, sob sob sob...
"Then maybe we should just forget about it."
"No way! I finally have a chance to help my brother!"
Suyo persisted.
Suddenly, Qiji thought of something and said:
"By the way, can your [Person in the Mirror] clone be used to scout locations?"
"That's right! I have clones! Although their combat power Infinite Weakening beyond a certain distance, they're useful for scouting even without any combat power!"
Upon hearing this, Suyo's eyes lit up.
He thought to himself, "In terms of intelligence and wit, my elder brother is definitely superior!"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Qiji was momentarily filled with envy.
Your skill is just too useful!
"But brother, why are you going to the evacuation point? Aren't you the Guardian Spirit of the Sea of Consciousness now? Even if you enter the evacuation point, you can't evacuate."
"Eh? Cough cough, um..."
"I see! It's because refining the Myth Fragment requires the use of an evacuation point, right?"
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes!"
Qiji couldn't help but sigh, having a younger sister who could fill in the blanks on her own was so convenient.
So the brother and sister discussed some details and then set off immediately.
The yacht was moored beside the 8820 island. Suyo activated his Armament and controlled the "Mirror Clone" to go ashore.
A few minutes later --
"Brother! Run!" Suyo's clone shattered, and his main body suddenly opened its eyes, loudly reminding Qiji.
Upon hearing this, Qiji instantly Nitro Boost, and the yacht shot off like an arrow!
As soon as Qiji sailed away from the coast, an Isolde Family birdman with flapping wings appeared at the spot where he had just moored his boat.
That guy was furious, yelling in the direction Qiji had fled:
"That sly fox! It escaped again?! How can it be so sneaky! It's so hard to catch! Splatter!!!"
I knew it!
Qiji gave the birdman the middle finger from afar, inwardly sighing:
How can the Isolde Family be so cunning!
Fortunately, the righteous are always one step ahead of the wicked!
From that point on, Qiji gave up any thought of leaving in the short term.
He was cruising through the Sea of Consciousness with Suyo on his back, just about to open a few more treasure chests to pass the time, when the next moment—
Suddenly, I noticed several wild loot boxes appearing near the minimap.
Qiji immediately understood. Because the emergence of the Myth Fragment caused great chaos, a large number of Echoer logged in and gathered, constantly encountering each other. Therefore, conflicts and the struggle for fragments were inevitable.
So, these are the leftovers that have been licked clean?
Qiji immediately decided to go over and show off his skills.
Sailing the yacht with Suyo on board, they braved the wind and waves, heading straight for the marked location on the box.
A moment later, we arrived at our destination.
From the system's perspective, all the boxes were floating on the sea.
Undoubtedly, these are all gifts from nature!
Qiji will not be polite.
He moved closer and showed off a lot!
Okay, it's all garbage!
The best pieces in these boxes were green, and three of them were completely white, with no other color in sight...
So, most Echoer actually lead this kind of miserable life?
Qiji could only reluctantly accept the gifts, and then immediately gave them all to Suyo.
Qiji doesn't pick up anything here, the Sea of Consciousness will still take a fragment from the dead as the "price of the Echo." This is the punishment for dying in the Sea of Consciousness.
Sea of Consciousness cheap deals, then you might as well let him have it for free.
Qiji's actions left Suyo completely stunned.
She didn't have a system interface, so from her perspective, it was just that her brother stretched out his hand into the air and suddenly produced five fragments, two green and three white.
Are these the natives of the Sea of Consciousness?
The benefits are too generous!
Guardian Spirit are great, Guardian Spirit!
The moment Suyo, his resolve to live on after death was strengthened—
Even after she dies, she wants to be Guardian Spirit!
Hey-hey!
However, Suyo shook his head and refused the shards thrown by Qiji.
"Brother, my Echo Slot are already full!"
"You're at level three, right? Use this to build your Mental Image Palace."
Anyway, Qiji has no use for these junk fragments.
He's still just a pure sports student; the Palace can't be built yet.
As for upgrading the small boat?
After [Miracle] was upgraded to Lv2, its tastes became more discerning. Now, it will only eat blue fragments if it is absolutely necessary.
In other words, the white and green fragments, which are considered "treasures" by most Echoer, are truly of no use to Qiji...
This experience of "eating leftovers" opened a door to a new world for Qiji.
He suddenly realized that there seemed to be a more efficient way to get rich than opening treasure chests.
Unfortunately, this way of getting rich quick only happens once.
In the future, it will be impossible to have so many Echoer gather together and release so many boxes.
That certainly can't be wasted!
And so, Qiji led Suyo on a journey of "picking up corpses."
Especially when returning to the sea area where Qiji was previously surrounded by the Kamishiro Family and Isolde Family—
The map is full of boxes!
For Qiji!
'Good heavens, did you start a world war right here after I left?'
Qiji touched them one by one until his hands went numb!
The rewards went without saying!
This single "meal delivery point" delivered twenty-three fragments to Qiji!
Although it seems like far more people died in this area, perhaps it's because the boxes have a limited shelf life?
The boxes that died early had already been "licked clean" by the Sea of Consciousness.
Among the twenty-three fragments, three are purple, all of which are part of the Mind Lineage.
Qiji recognized him at a glance.
Needless to say, it's the Kamishiro Family!
Good riddance!
It's likely that after Qiji ran away, Isolde was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she casually killed those gods from the Kamishiro Family to vent her frustration...
These three purple Mind Fragment are useless to the Suyo.
Her Echo Core cannot Mimicry the Mind Lineage.
