Chapter 876: Chapter 556: Dew of Fusang, Beneath Mount Fuji
"I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement when I was condensing True Intent!"
"Back then, I regretted not being able to be there in person, but now you and your partner have come to Fusang, which is an extraordinary surprise for me!"
"..."
Vishdair felt goosebumps rising and discreetly glanced at Remyu.
[Is this person crazy? By the way, weren’t you like this at the beginning too?]
Remyu blinked her eyes.
[Uncle Koichi... He was at Five-Star Peak when I went abroad, but I’m not very familiar with him.]
He turned his head and began praising the tall man beside him who was slowly savouring his food with more ceremony than hunger: "I’ve heard of your impressive bearing, Su Wu."
"You overpraise, I’m merely a martial artist."
At that moment, Chelina and Finn Xi exchanged a glance and joined the encrypted channel stealthily created by several young women.
[He’s in awe of power.]
[This person is very, very awestruck by strength.]
Chelina observed Arasaka Koichi, who was now conversing effortlessly with Lin Guang—although Lin Guang mostly displayed a subtle expression and didn’t respond much.
She did not speak, but a shimmer of intertwining dark blue and grey flashed through her eyes.
All along, Director Lu Pa had taught her how to use emotional power through both words and example.
But unlike Lu Pa’s outward fiery enthusiasm, Chelina was mostly introverted and did not wish to change.
Thus...
Under Lu Pa’s guidance, besides advancing her Dual Swords skills and personal power, she also gained strength akin to the Spirit Master’s [Clarity] Spirit Pattern, making her extremely sensitive.
Skills: [Intuition (Purple)]
She addressed the young women: [His respect for us is entirely founded on strength.]
Zumama tilted her head: [Isn’t respecting the strong normal?]
[No... that’s not all it means.]
[Haven’t you noticed? His gaze is somewhat peculiar, as if deliberately avoiding eye contact, unwilling to engage with us.]
[He instinctively doesn’t want to look at us, yet he must look, it’s like that.]
[...] *5
Indeed, as he had remarked.
Even the least observant Zumama felt his gaze constantly avoiding eye contact with several Terra girls.
Remyu said nothing, her gaze merely dimmed slightly.
Arasaka Koichi, with a smile on his face, conversed with Lin Guang, Finn Xi, and Su Yue for a long time, then seemingly felt he had exchanged enough pleasantries and took out seven entirely black crescent-shaped bracelets from his Storage Spiritual Artifact.
He used Spiritual Power to push them towards the group: "These are a little token of goodwill from our Arasaka Group for our distinguished guests from far away. Please kindly accept them."
Lin Guang, observing the bracelet which seemed somewhat familiar, did not decline, being the first to take and wear it on his wrist.
The bracelet automatically adjusted to the appropriate size, and a gentle scanning light swept over his entire body from top to bottom.
Then...
An inorganic prompt sounded in Lin Guang’s ear.
[Synchronizing personal information...]
[Synchronization complete.]
[Welcome, esteemed Lin Guang.]
[Greetings from the Fusang Dew System.]
In the next instant, under the watchful eyes of all, a light screen projected from his bracelet.
Vishdair curiously looked over, and the somewhat familiar interface on the screen made her widen her eyes in surprise.
"Hm? System panel?!"
"It’s not a true system."
Finn Xi shook her head, a knowing look flashing in her eyes, "This should be the rumored [Mini System] project."
"Miss Finn is indeed well-informed."
Arasaka Koichi smiled and continued:
"As you said, this is not a secret."
"To many in Coastal City, Fusang is considered the so-called [Mini-Coastal]."
Zumama also spoke in surprise: "Could it be that the authority of the Great... System has begun to extend here?"
"Heh, if only that were the case."
A hint of longing and regret flashed across Arasaka Koichi’s face.
"Unfortunately, the mighty power of the System cannot shine upon Fusang, which is so far away."
"This [Fusang Dew] was built by our Arasaka Group referencing Coastal City’s system model, assisted by countless Spiritual Artifacts and the power of several Divine Objects clustering together."
"Its capabilities naturally cannot compare with the true System."
"But the most basic functions are present."
He spoke, those black eyes once again igniting with a proud blue glow.
"It has become quite powerful nowadays."
"The people of Fusang can earn credit points through labor and trade, and credit levels, purchasing everything they desire from the System’s platform, my Arasaka Group."
"Thus... as long as one strives, one can obtain clear and specific data returns!"
"Due to this, Fusang’s overall temperament has changed dramatically over the past century, national power has become increasingly strong, and in recent years, more individuals in Fusang have broken through as True Masters!"
Upon saying this, he suddenly coughed lightly: "Pardon me."
"Fusang is still far, far behind Great Xia."
"In conclusion, you may give it a try; it will provide great convenience during your Fusang journey."
Seeing Lin Guang wear the bracelet, the rest, except for Remyu who seemingly already had one, all followed suit.
Lin Guang opened the software interface, only to see a multitude of options, from Spiritual Materials and Elixirs to Cultivation Techniques and Inheritance, all available.
