System upgrade

Back from Kuoh Academy. Qin Tian was at his home, resting leisurely in his room.

Kuroka and Koneko have made up. After making up with her younger sister, Kuroka begs her to let Koneko live with her, which means letting Koneko live in his villa.

Qin Tian certainly didn't mind adding one more cat in his house, especially when it was his woman who was asking. For Kuroka's small request, he naturally agreed.

Now the two cats lived in the same room in the villa. The two must still have many stories to share with each other. Qin Tian could tell using his Qi sense that the two cats still hadn't slept and were chatting away the night.

Qin Tian smiled, not going to disturb them of course. He then recalled his and Serafall's conflict about his engagement with Sona.

You might be wondering what happened after he kissed Sona in front of Serafall?

Hehe... Of course Serafall exploded.

Not literally exploded, but she was furious to see her younger sister being kissed by a man.

As expected of a siscon.

Fortunately the magical girl was still able to restrain herself and was not impulsive enough to blow up the school.

He was surprised that Serafall could still restrain herself.

And judging from her expression at that moment. Instead of anger, she seemed to be conflicted about something in her heart. Although her actions and expression looked angry, but she didn't seem to be really angry with him.

As a person who had already lived 10 lifetimes, Qin Tian was quite confident in his ability to read other people's emotions.

Serafall did not exactly hate him for kissing her younger sister, but she did not make peace with him either. With a scowl on her pretty face, she challenged him to a duel with her.

Serafall said that it was a test, if he won, she was not against his engagement with Sona.

So before leaving school, he and Serafall had already made a deal.

As for when the duel started? It was up to him, he could come at any time. What was certain was that he was not allowed to do anything lewd with Sona before getting Serafall's consent to become her younger sister's fiancé.

You could say Serafall had compromised, perhaps she could also see Sona had affection for him. She didn't want to make Sona hate her for opposing her engagement, but she also didn't want to give in easily so she made the conditions a kind of test for him.

To be honest it was a bit troublesome, but Qin Tian agreed to her terms without hesitation.

He would come to Serafall's door later when he was in the mood.

Cough, there's no need to rush.

Feeling the night breeze from the open window of his room, Qin Tian sat in a chair with a cup of coffee while smiling faintly.

It was already 11pm, but he hadn't slept yet because he was waiting for something.

"Now that it's time, why is this system still silent? Is there a problem-"

Before he could finish his complaint, the system notification finally sounded.

[Ding! The system upgrade has been completed! New features have been added to make it easier for the host to hunt down protagonist.]

[Access to the Destiny Child Monitor has been opened!]

[Access to the Golden Soul Tree has been unlocked!]

- [Destiny Child Monitor: You can now see the protagonist's location wherever they are. (Only works on protagonists who have met the host.)]

[Currently available protagonists:

1. Issei Hyoudou (Regressor)

2. Basara Toujou (Transmigrator)]

- [Golden Soul Tree: A golden-leaved tree in your soul that allows you to create a small world with unlimited growth potential. (Once given plenty of nutrients, the small world within the host's soul can even grow into a personal multiverse.)]

[Golden Soul Tree level details:

Level 1 = 1 - 5 worlds

Level 2 = 6 - 15 worlds

Level 3 = 16 - 25 worlds

Level 4 = 26 - 35 worlds

Level 5...

Level 6...

Level 7...

...

Current level: 0 (The host's Golden Soul Tree has not been fully awakened.) (PS: Please feed it first.)]

"...."

Seeing the new features the system explained, Qin Tian's expression didn't change much as if he wasn't surprised and there was no excitement at all.

"I waited 2 days just to get this? Well... That's pretty good."

With a dull tone, making the two system loli not know how to respond.

Their hosts were already veterans. So there weren't many things from the system that could make their host surprised and excited. Now that their host was numb to this kind of routine, he didn't have much reaction.

Except for a few strange objects from the system that made their hosts somewhat happy.

For example, goddess panties or something like that.

Koko: "...."

Momo: "...."

"By the way, can you explain what kind of food this soul tree needs? Can't I just flush it with water?" Qin Tian asked the two loli telepathically because the two loli were in their respective bedrooms.

Koko is probably watching anime in her room.

Momo? She... She seems to be busy drawing something in her room. Huh? That golden loli is drawing a manga!

Qin Tian immediately closed his Qi sense, not going to ask what that golden loli was up to. This time he just wanted to ask about the tree's food.

Koko: "Host can use-"

Momo: "The black orb that the host got after killing the previous protagonist! Host can use that to feed the Golden Soul Tree inside your body."

Koko: "Host doesn't have to-"

Momo: "Of course that doesn't mean the host has to eat that baseball-sized black orb out of his mouth. Ahem, I mean the host just needs to enter your mindscape to integrate this black orb into the tree."

Koko: "...."

The golden loli continued to interrupt the silver loli as if competing with her. No, it was actually obvious that the golden loli was actually competing with the silver loli for the host's attention.

Koko wasn't a competitive loli, so she wasn't angry or incensed by Momo's actions. She just shook her head as if dealing with a brat and continued watching the anime quietly.

As a veteran system loli, how could she be bothered just because of Momo's childish actions?

'Koko, you're just too lazy to argue with her...' Qin Tian smiled wryly, already used to his silver loli temper.

"So that's it, thank you Momo. Your explanation was very helpful."

Momo: "Hehehe..."

The golden loli was so amused by his praise, she even grinned inside her room.

Qin Tian shook his head, having a spirited loli like Momo is also pretty good.

After hearing the explanation from Momo, now he understood how to cultivate the Golden Soul Tree within himself.

The black orb he got from the system reward after killing the protagonist was the key. He only got one after killing the protagonist Hajime, was it enough to feed the tree inside his soul? Definitely not, maybe it only increased his level to level 1.

Qin Tian decided to feed the tree later. His mind wandered to the female protagonist whose inner voice he heard earlier.

He was curious about the identity of that female protagonist.

After hearing her inner voice several times, he still couldn't guess the other party's identity.

He only knew that protagonist was from another world.

There were many protagonists of this kind from various works of fiction. He of course couldn't accurately guess the identity of that female protagonist unless he had other additional information about her that could help him reveal her identity.

Unlike the protagonists Issei and Basara who at least blabbed about many things about themselves. This female protagonist complains a lot about her daily life!

Qin Tian's teeth are itchy, can this female protagonist blab about herself? At least tell me your name!

...

Vatican Church, an exclusive dormitory for exorcists.

Inside her dorm room, Lumine who was wearing a plain white nightgown was in a good mood as she could sleep on a soft mattress now. Unlike the previous few days where she slept on the streets like a tramp.

Now after joining the Church as an Exorcist. She was given a place to live, three meals a day, and a monthly salary.

The money system in this country called Japan seemed to use Yen notes and coins. She learned this information from Irina, the brown-haired girl was fortunately willing to help her explain some basic knowledge to her who did not know much about this world.

It actually wasn't the first time she had traveled to the modern world, but every world had its differences. Not everything was the same so she also had to learn many things every time she traveled to a new world.

If she was with her brother like before. Things like information gathering and adapting to the new world could be completed easily because of his brother's ability.

His brother was a competent person, unlike her who was often awkward and not good at communicating with others. Perhaps her only advantage is fighting where she can be confident in her abilities.

Lying on her bed, Lumine stared at the sky of her room in a daze. Her stomach growled, making her face blush slightly.

{I'm hungry again... Is the cafeteria still open in the middle of the night?}

Many heroines are already sleeping in the middle of the night, but the protagonist's inner voice woke them up!

After all, the inner voice sounds right inside their heads, how can they not flinch while they're sleeping? Sometimes things like this are very disturbing!

[The female protagonist! Still not sleeping? Is this protagonist a foodie who loves to eat? Tsk! I still can't guess her identity!]

The heroines: "...."

Now these villain are also starting to join in.

Very noisy!

Lumine couldn't hear Qin Tian's voice, she was trying to sleep despite her stomach protesting to eat.

10 minutes...

20 minutes...

1 hour...

She still can't sleep!

Not only was she hungry, but somehow she felt something in her body.

There was some kind of unknown force trying to connect with her soul, she wanted to resist that force but the other party was too strong.

Fortunately it wasn't some kind of attack, it just wanted to connect with her.

Then a transparent screen floating in the air suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

Lumine widened her eyes in surprise of course.

[Ding! Connected successfully! Congratulations host, you have been selected as a system user!]

[Start the intallization process! Please be quiet, host does not have the voice to refuse.]

"What? Wait... You can't do it!"

Lumine got up from her bed and tried to slash at the system screen using her sword. But it was useless, the screen was like a hologram. So her attack only hit the air.

[14%... 24%... 28%... 34%...]

"Stop it." Lumine said flatly, but her expression looked serious.

[47%... 57%... 65%...]

"You..."

[The struggle to resist is futile, host. You can't refuse. Please just accept the system without complaining, it won't hurt you.]

[71%... 83%... 96%...]

"...."

Lumine's lips twitched, this thing called system was clearly imposing itself on me.

You said it won't harm me? I don't believe it!

You're a suspicious thing that came out of nowhere!

[100%!]

[System intallization successful!]

[System has been activated!]
