Chapter 101: Instant Noodles: Beautiful Girl Edition

[ "Noodles of Nostalgia: Flavor of Freshness—A legendary cup of endless noodles. Imagine the flavor you desire, and it will materialize!"

"Young man, come enjoy a bowl of noodles!" ]

Kevin picked up the noodle cup and calmly said, "...Why not."

...

Some time later...

When the weary Welt arrived, he saw Kevin squatting and eating noodles. Doubt crept into his mind—was he in the wrong place?

Kevin, noticing Welt's presence, silently raised his head, lifted the noodle cup, and asked "Herrscher of Reason, Welt Yang...care to join me for some noodles?"

-----------------------

"....." Welt's mouth twitched, finding it hard to believe that this was the Kevin from the video who killed him.

Kevin, noticing Welt's intentions, spoke coldly "The Stigmata Plan is the worst plan. I will give the current civilization enough time to prepare, but if it still cannot surpass the end..."

"By then, you won't be able to stop me from leaving the Sea of Quanta."

With a determined gaze, Welt responded "Even so, I will do everything in my power to stop you!"

....

While others were opening boxes, Fu Lin, who was still in the live broadcast space, wasn't idle either. He silently planned how to use the live broadcast points he had painstakingly earned...

[This live broadcast ends. Congratulations on earning 26,674 broadcast points.]

[The host purchases 99 copies of Five Years of Honkai, Three Years of Exams, deducting 500 broadcast points.]

[The host now has a total of 26,174 broadcast points.]

"Are you kidding me, dog system? 26,674 broadcast points, and this time you didn't round it up!" Fu Lin angrily remarked as he noticed the system hadn't rounded the points.

But no matter how Fu Lin shouted this time, there was no response.

"...I give up. Treasure Pouch, oh Treasure Pouch, you better not mess with me like the live broadcast room does." Covering his face, Fu Lin squatted in the corner, then silently took out the Doraemon's pouch from the system space, soothing himself.

"Whew~ I have a feeling that this time, I'll definitely get something amazing!" Fu Lin said with determination, staring at the white pouch in his hand.

Then, Fu Lin turned the live broadcast room into a shrine, placing a photo of Kiana in the center. He lit three sticks of incense and bowed respectfully.

"Kiana, I leave everything to you." After the ritual, Fu Lin reached into the pouch with high expectations, only to pull out... a cup of instant noodles?

"The things from the pouch can't possibly be ordinary. Maybe eating this will enhance physical strength..." Fu Lin squinted at the noodle cup adorned with Mei's image, comforting himself.

But this thought was quickly shattered by the system.

["Pretty Girl Noodles": A legendary instant noodle said to carry the flavor of a pretty girl's body fluids. But no one knows what it actually tastes like. Would anyone really eat such noodles?]

"If it were you, you'd definitely eat it, Kiana." Fu Lin placed the noodles on the table and looked at Kiana's photo, asking helplessly.

The only response from Kiana's picture was her silly smile.

"This time, there can't be any more mishaps." Fu Lin put away the noodles and reached into the pouch again. This time, there were no surprises. The pouch suddenly emitted golden light, illuminating the entire live broadcast room.

The last time such a scene occurred was also during a previous draw.

"This... this golden light, it happened when I got the pocket watch!" Fu Lin exclaimed, covering his eyes in astonishment.

"Is this the legendary Mystic Ring?" From the pouch, Fu Lin took out a silver ring streaked with dark red patterns, set with a round, crimson gemstone.

After examining it, he found only the character "Lin" engraved on the inside of the ring.

["Twilight" (Artifact): Normally appears in the form of a ring. When the host needs a weapon, it transforms according to the host's will. (Pending binding)]

[Current ability: Longsword]

"Does it require blood to bind?" Fu Lin wondered. Wearing the ring on his right index finger, he imagined a longsword in his mind, but nothing happened.

With that, Fu Lin grabbed a silver needle and, wincing, pricked his index finger. The ring's gemstone flashed red as it absorbed the blood, then returned to its dormant state.

"...Could this be a cursed item?" Fu Lin murmured, staring at the blood-absorbing ring.

[Would you like to bind "Twilight" (Artifact)?]

[Bind][Reject (Unavailable)]

"It didn't actually need blood... then what was all that light earlier?"

[Twilight's built-in show-off feature. It glows upon contact with blood...]

"Ahem! Not bad, it meets my standards. Let's bind it first." Fu Lin commented, somewhat amused. Even weapons these days had their own flair for theatrics.
