"Dimensional Barrier: Select a female character to overlap with. The overlap can be divided into seven stages: Mimic Mode, Static Mode, Mirror Mode, Possession Mode, Descent Mode, Incarnation Mode, and Permanent Summoning Mode. Each mode corresponds to different compatibility levels. The host should assess whether they have high compatibility with the selected character before using the Dimensional Barrier, otherwise, it will just waste points."

"Compatibility below 20: Mimic Mode. Your behavior will only reach 20% similarity with the character, and you will not have her abilities. Activation conditions: Possess Tokiwadai school uniform, electromaster ability, and requires 10,000 Integrity Points. Subsequently, each minute of activation consumes 10 points."

"Compatibility 20-40: Static Mode. Your behavior will only reach 40% similarity with the character, and you can have 30% of her abilities, but only the appearance. Activation conditions: Possess Tokiwadai school uniform, electromaster ability, and requires 10,000 Integrity Points. Subsequently, each minute of activation consumes 1 point."

"Compatibility 40-60: Mirror Mode. Your behavior will reach 60% similarity with the character, and you can have 60% of her abilities, but only the appearance, though the aura will be the same. Activation conditions: Possess Tokiwadai school uniform, electromaster ability, and requires 50,000 Integrity Points. Subsequently, each minute of activation consumes 5 points."

"Compatibility 60-80: Possession Mode. Your behavior will reach 80% similarity with the character, and you can have 100% of her abilities, but only the appearance, aura, and mannerisms will be the same, and the abilities can be recorded by technological devices. Activation conditions: Possess Tokiwadai school uniform, electromaster ability, and requires 100,000 Integrity Points. Subsequently, each minute of activation consumes 10 points."

"Compatibility 80-90: Descent Mode. Your behavior will reach 90% similarity with the character, and you can have 100% of her abilities, but only the appearance, aura, and mannerisms will be the same, and the abilities can be recorded by technological devices. You can also enjoy part of her talents. Activation conditions: Possess Tokiwadai school uniform, electromaster ability, and requires 150,000 Integrity Points. Subsequently, each minute of activation consumes 50 points."

"Compatibility 90-99: Incarnation Mode. Your behavior will reach 100% similarity with the character, and you can have 100% of her abilities, but only the appearance, aura, and mannerisms will be the same, and the abilities can be recorded by technological devices. After 100 minutes of activation, you will gain recognition from her world, unlocking a new instance. Activation conditions: Possess Tokiwadai school uniform, electromaster ability, and requires 200,000 Integrity Points. Subsequently, each minute of activation consumes 500 points."

"Compatibility 100: Permanent Summoning Mode. You can directly add all the character's abilities to yourself, and your power will be equivalent to the character's for a certain time. Activation conditions: 500,000 Integrity Points, 10,000 Dream Points, 3,000 Goddess Points. This mode consumes 10 Goddess Points, 100 Dream Points, and 1,000 Integrity Points per minute."

"You can also permanently summon the character to your world, but note that once you summon her, you can no longer use the Dimensional Barrier ability for this character. Summoning requires: 10,000 Goddess Points, 50,000 Dream Points, 300,000 Integrity Points, having at least Level 3 Electromaster ability, and Level 4 Spatial Movement ability."

"Note: The above requirements for permanent summoning apply only to Misaka Mikoto. Requirements for other characters vary. The more mysterious the ability and the stronger the power, the more conditions are needed; conversely, the more ordinary the ability and the weaker the power, the fewer the conditions required."

"System Notice: Do not confuse this system with other summoning systems. The entities summoned by this system must exist in the dimensional universe and are not simulated beings. They have their own emotions and thoughts."

"Once permanently summoned to this world, the host will only have a spiritual connection with her. You can be friends but cannot command her. Her initial favorability towards you will fluctuate between 80-100. Your actions will increase or decrease her favorability."

"Because favorability is a value between friends, it can be surpassed. Once surpassed, her favorability towards you will never decrease. However, whether your relationship develops into family or romantic, or both, entirely depends on your choices."

"They are your friends, companions, and interdependent beings, not your subordinates, weapons, or slaves. Treating them well is treating yourself well. Remember this."

This was the explanation of the Dimensional Barrier system, and also the reason why she had always been reluctant to exchange for it. The cost was one aspect, and the other was that she didn't want to complete her first cosplay experience this way.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the luxury of time to carefully plan these things. If she had an additional half month, she could achieve a 70% similarity with Misaka Mikoto's image through her own efforts.

Coincidentally, she had recently received a large sum of Integrity Points, allowing her to exchange for this ability.

She had thought that with her current appearance, achieving a 50% similarity with Misaka Mikoto should be enough. However, it turned out to be much lower. If it weren't for the hidden scan that revealed non-external data, she would have had to settle for Static Mode.

However, 100,000 Integrity Points was not a small number, and opening it would cost an additional 10 points per minute. If it weren't for the fact that each mode, once exchanged, only required the activation cost for subsequent uses, even a million points wouldn't be enough for her.

But the high cost had its benefits: a near-perfect similarity and the abilities it provided. Even if it was just for show, whatever the original character could do, she could replicate.

This way, she saved a lot of time on special effects. It wasn't that she was lazy or unwilling to do it; she simply didn't have the skills.

To create these effects, one needed computer graphics expertise, which she hadn't unlocked yet.

Of course, the most tempting mode for her was the last one, Permanent Summoning Mode.

Anyone seeing the effects of Permanent Summoning Mode would want to meet its conditions to bring characters from text, screens, games, drawings, and anime into the real world.

Not to mention summoning them for any specific purpose; just the joy of it was reason enough for her. She had a feeling that this Permanent Summoning Mode was one of the system's most powerful features.

Imagine having characters from various stories help her; it would be incredibly beneficial for her future development.

She could say she was lucky to have the "Goddess Development System" and not some other strange system. At least all its functions leaned towards females, allowing her to choose female characters.

If it were some other male-dominated system like "God Development System," "Bro Development System," "Trap Development System," or "Beast God Development System," and they all had the Dimensional Barrier ability...

The imagery would be too disturbing, making one think of unspeakable scenes that needed censoring. It's better not to think about it.

Actually, the Dimensional Barrier sub-exchange system had existed from the beginning, but her attention had been drawn to the seven main exchange columns at the top. She had spent all this time looking for items to help her or record some information for future use, neglecting other sub-exchange systems that required her discovery.

Moreover, Ayase was strictly limited in what she could tell her, leading her to recently unlock some of the sub-exchange systems one by one.

It wasn't her fault. Unlocking these hidden sub-exchange systems was incredibly difficult, but each one significantly promoted her growth.

In this sense, she welcomed as many systems as possible.

The system's secrets were still numerous; the deeper she delved, the more curious and amazed she became.

However, as long as it helped her, that was enough. The deeper aspects were beyond her current ability to consider.

Because she couldn't resist the system and didn't have the power to do so. Since she couldn't resist, she would accept it with the best attitude.

This was how she always thought and acted.

This was probably Chu Lian, as innocent as first love.
