Skadi, returning to infinity

"Because this can save a lot of willpower."

"SSSS-level items require 50 to 80 wish points to exchange for."

"And SSS-level only costs 20 to 30."

"Some items and skills with SSSS-level effects, if they are not assigned an SSSS-level rating, will at most be rated 3."

It can be achieved with 0 million units of willpower.

"But if we get connected, we'll need to increase our willpower by at least 60% to secure it, which is a huge loss."

"That's what we say, but at most it will take some time before we need to get an SSSS rating."

"After all, some rewards are better given at the SSSS level."

This is the question that Xiao Ai herself came out to explain.

She circled around all the agents before giving this explanation.

"Xiao Ai means that we should convert the wish power achievement points we have now into SSS-level items, preferably the top-of-the-line kind."

"If there are any SSS rewards that can be used, then use them directly."

"Perhaps after the upgrade, we can reap some good rewards."

"Otherwise, if we wait until the rating is upgraded before using it, we can only exchange it for SSS level, not SSSS level."

Ann Takamaki analyzed and explained Ai's words, and she looked at the panel herself, seemingly already starting to redeem.

This is actually a bug in the card version update that allows for better rewards, and only an agent like Skadi with a separate system could do this.

The.

"Understood.

They're not stupid; it would be strange if they didn't know what to do after I explained it so clearly.

"Xiao Ai, could you help them label those items as SSS-level?"

Even if it might not be a good match for me, as long as it's rated higher, I'm never going to lose out by exchanging it.

"My suggestion is to change it to bloodline, weapons, equipment, items, and skills."

"Of course, items are the most suitable, but the range of items is too large, and some SSS rewards may randomly give you things that you can't use."

Having a system as a backing makes all the difference; other agents all have a supercomputer serving them.

Do they keep one for themselves, or are they the kind who are willing to help each other cheat?

"Understood, let's start changing."

They all started to move, except for Kurumi Tokisaki, who sat there without taking any action.

Rize Kamishiro has enough points, Kibu just got an SSS-rank after defeating Muzan, and Chu Xue and the others also have enough points on their own.

What about Kurumi Tokisaki? It seems she used up all her resources in order to reach SS rank, so she had no way to improve.

"San San, here you go."

However, Skadi herself collected quite a few unused, freely selectable SSS-rank rewards.

Not only SSS-level, but also SS-level and S-level, they have collected a lot of them during the missions over the past three years.

She originally kept it for emergencies, but the previous mission world had taught her many lessons and made her realize what she should do.

So these rewards were no longer important to her, and she simply took them out and placed them on the panel.

"20 S-level rewards, 10 SS-level rewards, and 7 SSS-level rewards, two of which are optional..."

"Sister... just how much have you done in this world...?"

Chu Xue was dumbfounded when she saw the rewards Skadi had laid out. Had her sister gone to rob someone?

"This is the harvest of three years, but in the previous mission world, I made more in just a few days."

"I originally intended to save it for a critical moment, but now it's no longer needed."

"To enhance your strength, all of this is for you."

"Here you are, San San. This is an SSS-level item that you can choose freely, and a random SSS-level item for you."

"This SSS-rank rarity is yours to choose from, Rize..."

Skadi distributed the items one by one. Except for Tokisaki Kurumi, who received two SSS-rank items, each of the other teammates received one.

As for the S-rank and SS-rank items, they each received at least one; the rest were left there until they had exchanged for what they needed.

It is used to supplement some of the abilities that one lacks.

Theresa, who was cooking in the kitchen, peeked out at them and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them getting busy.

This will make it easier to create a harmonious atmosphere.

"Really... bringing back so many teammates without even saying anything beforehand..."

Theresa continued cooking, inwardly grumbling about Skadi while also feeling a sense of anticipation for the bustling island life that was beginning to unfold.

Up.

P.S.: I hadn't slept well and was feeling listless, so I even asked for leave in the group chat to slack off. But after taking a shower, I immediately felt refreshed and could only continue...

Back to writing!

Let's talk about books and recent events.

It's been a long time since I wrote a solo chapter. The last time I wrote a solo chapter was when I posted about myself in women's clothing (sigh).

I'm writing this separate chapter to say a few words to everyone.

Eight months have passed since this book was published last May.

I've updated over 150 million words in these eight months, even while I was working on multiple projects and writing other stories. I guess I've worked pretty hard.

Well, especially when there's no bounty (laughs).

However, my book isn't doing well, so I'll just keep updating it.

Let me talk about the book's structure. Readers who have been following along already know that the subsequent developments will definitely involve a cross-world war.

The main focus will still be on the Ark world, with Type-Moon and Azur Lane as secondary themes.

However, Azur Lane mainly features ship girls, and its world view and Abyssal faction are not included.

I might write a book specifically about yuri (lesbian) stories from Azur Lane in the future, but not now~~

As for what the great war is and how long it will last, the current plan is that the final chapter will be about 50 to 100 million words.

After the Reunion Movement arc, several smaller worlds will be added, each with a maximum of 20 words and a minimum of tens of thousands of words of plot transition.

The story of Ark will largely follow the original storyline of Ark, but it will be reconstructed by the various original settings and plot elements I add.

After all, most of the Ark world is still shrouded in mystery, and each event has only unfolded a portion of it.

Compared to established worldviews like Azur Lane and Type-Moon, writing something on a grander scale basically requires creating something entirely original.

To be honest, having played since the game launched, I feel that Arknights can't possibly develop its world view on its own.

We need to learn from Type-Moon and develop multiple storylines, with different games and works to complete the project.

However, Type-Moon is based on various real-world legends and historical figures, while Arknights is basically an original fictional story. In this respect, there is still a lot to catch up with.

Therefore, the Ark I wrote may be different from the Ark you have read before, and you should have noticed that.

As for the romance storyline, it got a bit messy because I initially wanted to go for the popular "Queen of Ten Thousand Women" type.

I admit that I handled this very poorly (in my opinion), so I'll do better in the following episodes.

Next, let's talk about the issues with the previous volume, Battle Royale, which also involves the fusion of multiple worlds.

I originally wanted to try out a "Werewolf" scenario with a mole, but after thinking about it for a few days, I abandoned the idea.

Therefore! Absolutely no scheming or manipulative behavior whatsoever!! It's all about Titi's invincible charm!!

I hope everyone who hasn't watched it yet will subscribe! It's really good!! (Shameless.)

I try my best to avoid things and types that people don't like, and I'm fairly aware of that.

So please, everyone, subscribe, subscribe, subscribe! This is really important to me.

I'm currently working on two books, but neither is doing very well, so I have to keep working hard to make a living.

There's no need to worry about updates; there will be at least 15 words per month, since it's a multi-client project and I can't write too much.

This is a dividing line.

This is a dividing line —

Now that I've talked about the book, let me talk about my own situation.

The pressure from reality is getting greater and greater, but I'm currently a full-time struggling writer, so I might be in a situation where I'm writing three books at once.

The poor performance of the book is definitely my problem; it's no one else's fault.

The editors gave it plenty of recommendations, and readers also tipped me with treasure chests, so if it still doesn't work, it's really just my personal problem.

Even though I'm a complete flop, I still want to write my third book in a more exciting and personal way.

Perhaps this is the inexplicable confidence that comes with failure.

What's the new book? It will be posted on this account. If you're interested, you should see it later.

2333 It's fair to say it's a rather twisted pure yuri story (besides the main heroine, there are only a few main female characters, and the romance plot won't be discussed for now), with...

Time travel, systems, and plagiarism are all part of Japanese entertainment.

Yes, it's Japanese entertainment, but not the kind that mainly focuses on light novels and games; it mainly focuses on singing, performances, and the like.

(Actually, the initial idea was to write about Chinese entertainment, but some world-building settings (cyberpunk) might cause problems, plus there are domestic copyright issues.)

(It's related, so I just sent it to Japan; writing about Japanese entertainment avoids a lot of problems.)

Oh, it seems I've talked a bit too much about the new book.

I...I didn't promote the new book or anything.
