Although she hadn't used any of the Gravity Mine, Black Key, or Lesser Adamantium Shield she'd drawn last time, that didn't diminish her enthusiasm for whatever she drew. She hurriedly flipped over the ten cards and examined them carefully.

The ten cards obtained, excluding two four-star cards, are: a one-star command card called Deterrence, a three-star Journey to the Other Side spell skill card, a three-star Healing Factor Injection, a two-star Basic Combat Techniques Advancement Manual, a one-star Resilience skill card, a three-star Nanomachine Injector, a two-star Super Soldier Potion, and a two-star Combat Continuation skill card...

I glanced at the basic combat techniques, and they were a bit lower in level than the Liangshan martial arts that Steve taught me. But the advantage was that they covered all eighteen kinds of weapons, and even included how to fight against firearms, use firearms, and how to use various items to kill people, making them extremely practical martial arts.

The command card intimidation was something like mental pressure, and it didn't really get along with Baina, so she just glanced at it and tossed it into the book.

The journey to the other side is somewhat complex. First, the caster performs a lengthy ritual, during which they chant or perform other ritualistic repetitive actions to enter a trance state (a variation of the state of perception). Once in a trance state is achieved, the caster can send their "soul" to another plane of existence; this plane can be chosen by the caster (if they know and understand its existence), or it can be random—any imaginable place, even the abode of mythical deities or a dream world.

It's more complex and has a wider range of applications than the Dreamer's Assistance Technique that Baina has already mastered. Overall, it's worth it.

As for injections and medicines... Baina simply injected them all into her body and let Nunn and Lambda handle them.

"Newn, Lambda, get me promoted... no, get my body under control. Don't let these newbies mess things up."

The description of the Resilience skill card is also rather lackluster; its effect is that even if a person suffers fatal damage, they can still maintain a certain degree of counterattack ability.

The same applies to the skill cards for continuing combat, only they are a more advanced version of resilience. Bai Aina simply used them all at once, since neither of them was particularly effective against her anyway.

Aside from that, there are two four-star cards. To be honest... the descriptions are quite surprising, making one wonder if Beaina drew the wrong card.

【Name: My Style of Martial Arts Training Camp】

[Type: Dream-based Technology Training Card]

[Rank: Four-Star]

[Introduction: A special training camp with Takuma Sakazaki, Izou Motobu, and Virgil as instructors. Each of them will teach a certain level of technique or serve as sparring partner. Although death is not possible in the dream world, participants will experience pain equivalent to that in reality, as the ratio of dream time to real time is five to one. The training lasts for five days.]

[Note: This is a black hole grenade, a weapon of many kinds.]

"Damn it, who would want to become an apprentice of an old hero?! Is this kidding me?! And this note, it's definitely trying to force me to complain! It's definitely trying to force me to complain!" Bai Aina couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly and couldn't help but complain.

Aside from the fact that the old hero is quite unsociable, Baiana was happy to have drawn this card. Vergil should be the Vergil from Ace Combat; he should have a lot to teach her, and she's also very interested in the Phantom Blade.

Besides, Takuma Sakazaki is also a very skilled martial artist, although his fighting strength is inexplicably low in various fan fictions.

Chapter Two Training

Despite not appearing to be a master, Takuma Sakazaki is portrayed as quite powerful in the story, though he usually suppresses his killing intent and martial arts skills. For him in this state, combat is more like a simple sporting event.

However, Takuma Sakazaki in his Tengu form is incredibly powerful, possessing a terrifying killing intent that astonishes many KOF players. Even Kyo Kusanagi, when faced with Takuma Sakazaki in this form, can't help but feel terrified, thinking, "Oh no, I can't escape."

In SNK vs. Capcom's games, the serious Tengu, who serves as the final boss, even corresponds to Shin Akuma, who has unleashed his true power.

Even though it was just Akuma, it's still a remarkable feat. Keep in mind that in the Tekken series, Akuma in his normal state was enough to overpower the demonized Kazuya Mishima. And the demonized Kazuya Mishima could easily withstand a satellite laser that could instantly destroy a skyscraper, and even emit rays from the ground to destroy satellites attacking him.

Shin Akuma, having fully unleashed his killing intent, is even stronger; a single move is enough to shatter the island. It's impossible for Serious Tengu, who can be a final boss alongside such a monster, to be anything but skilled; dismantling a Gundam with his bare hands is no difficult task for him.

Unlike Akuma, Takuma Sakazaki uses his own Kyokugenryu Karate. In terms of foundation, potential, and physical development, he is far inferior to Akuma, who inherited the Killing Intent Wave and can reach a higher level of life.

If we were to use Bai Ai Na to describe him, Takuma Sakazaki represents the pinnacle of mortals. He has no special bloodline, nor any special martial arts skills; all he can rely on is his self-created Kyokugenryu Karate and his honed killing intent to the extreme. He can be considered the ultimate form among mortals.

Thus, Bai Aina, with her small-scale tactical nuclear weapon output, faced off against the serious Tengu, who possessed the destructive power to destroy large cities. Naturally, she was thoroughly beaten. Her opponent was far superior to the half-baked Perfect Creature Girl in terms of martial arts, mentality, purity, and fighting spirit. Konru Touya, comparable to the True Gouki Misogi, could even blow her head off from kilometers away.

Overall, Takuma Sakazaki is very strong, far stronger than Steve, whom Aina encountered. He truly deserves to be called the ultimate product of human effort.

After lying on the ground for a while, Baina was panting heavily. Perhaps because of the dream, the super-learning ability of the perfect creature was completely useless, and she had to rely on herself, Newn, and Lambda to learn using their own talents.

The opponent's 'ki' is much stronger than chakra and Nen abilities. If Takuma Sakazaki had replaced Might Guy in the Fourth Shinobi World War, he could probably have defeated Madara Uchiha with his Limit Tiger Roar and killed Kaguya Otsutsuki with his Oni-gami Yamaga.

"Old man, you didn't even call me when you ate buckwheat noodles! You're such a jerk, I want some too!" Bai Aina saw Vacuum Hand eating and instinctively wanted to go over, but for some reason, her hair stood on end. She quickly did a few tactical rolls to get away from her spot and calmly surveyed her surroundings.

"Hmph, a wise choice." A rather slovenly old man carrying a wine jug walked over and sat down casually.

If Bai Aina had continued forward, her ankles would have been severed by the nanowires. Even if she had managed to eat the buckwheat noodles, she would have been poisoned by the toxins from "Toriko." Even if she had survived the poison, the aroma from the sake bottle would have triggered a chain reaction, causing her to collapse.

"Damn it! Old hero, please let me go! I just want to have a proper meal!" Bai Aina immediately took two or three meters back before cautiously saying.

Ever since she entered the dream world for training, Izou from the main body would always suddenly attack her. Whether it was during meals, when she was lying on the ground panting, or when she was training with others, the old hero would always pull out a bunch of random props and smear them on her face, and he would never stop until he beat her so badly that she couldn't get up again.

This made Bai Aina's instincts go haywire; she always felt like something was aimed at her, ready to blow her to smithereens at any moment.

"No problem, you passed this time." Honbu Izo carried the sake bottle and moved towards Sakazaki Takuma. The two grown men started shouting and fighting over the noodles, and finally simply poured the sake into the noodle pot to cook.

Seeing that the old hero really didn't intend to attack her, Bai Aina immediately followed him, prepared to get a bowl of noodles, and started slurping them down.

As soon as Takuma Sakazaki saw Aina Kaname approaching, his eyes widened. He forcefully put the bowl on the ground, stood up, and assumed a fighting stance.

"You still don't understand... the harsh reality you'll face on the path you've chosen. Learn from this battle, my disciple! It will determine your future!"

"Damn it, can't I just grab a bowl of noodles and leave?!" After quickly getting a bowl of noodles, Bai Aina immediately turned around and left, not wanting to stay even a second longer.

After seeing Bai Aina leave, Sakazaki Takuma sat down and continued eating his noodles. Seeing Bai Aina leave, Motobu Izo, seeing this, also put away his sake bottle, rendering his eight sake cups useless.

After running to Virgil's location, Baina carefully looked around before picking up her noodles and eating them slowly. The ingredients used in this bowl of noodles were not simple; at least, she had never tasted anything similar since she arrived.

The aloof and handsome father, Virgil, holding his katana, merely glanced coldly at Baina, casually closing his eyes to continue feigning sleep. He was the least talkative member of the training trio, and in terms of techniques, he had only taught her the nine basic forms of the katana, along with the Phantom Sword and some basic sword skills, such as Flying Swallow, X-shaped sword aura slash, and Rondo.

However, training with Virgil was actually the most comfortable. At least when he struck, he could kill her cleanly and quickly. Sometimes, before she could even feel the pain, Beaune was already dead.

Moreover, the principle behind the Phantom Sword is quite simple: it forms a blade using magic. Bai Aina tried it out briefly and found that the skill's effect, combined with the Transmutation-type Power of a Hundred Powers, had strong scalability. It was also excellent as a projectile, as it could be used as a medium for both elemental attacks and shockwave attacks.

However, Bai Aina didn't intend to communicate with him much. The two weren't particularly compatible, and they had only exchanged words.

"Hey Virgil-san, I heard your new game tore your son's hand? Great! His mechanical hand is so much better than the old demon hand! I'm playing it at the highest level! Even a noob like me can easily get an SSS rating! Wait, let's talk this out! Don't point a knife at me, wait, I'm not ready yet!"

The description of Takuma Sakazaki in this chapter is open to interpretation; its credibility is debatable.

Chapter Three: The Dining Hall

The dream space isn't particularly large, but it's not small either, with a radius of at least several kilometers. Bai Aina once tried to project her inner emotions and reflections into this space, but unexpectedly discovered that the dream was extremely solid and completely unable to merge with her Stand.

Before they knew it, ten days had passed in the dream. Takuma Sakazaki, Virgil, and Izou Motobu nodded to each other and then disappeared, leaving only Beaina alone in the primeval forest.

Gazing at this boundless expanse of emerald green... Bai Aina called over several returning clones, and after communicating with them, confirmed that the resting world they were in was... a barbaric world without civilization, where there weren't even humans yet.

"How boring..." Reaching a stream, Bai Aina cut her wrist with her fingernails and released the blood into the water. Watching the azure blood drift away with the current, a strange and strange pleasure rose within her.

In that case, a group of intelligent life forms will soon appear on this land. After several large buckets of blood had flowed from the wound on her wrist, Bai Aina then controlled the muscle tissue in that area to close the wound and used healing factors to repair it.

Since her physical transformation became increasingly severe, it became easier for Baina to do such things. Bloodletting, for example, could create new life forms that could evolve along with nature.

In this way, if intelligent life emerges in the future... they shouldn't end up hurting each other, right? With a self-deprecating laugh, Bai Aina jumped onto a large tree and took out the card she had placed her hopes on.

【Name: Cafeteria Meal Voucher (Food already pre-ordered)】

【Type: One-time consumption card】

[Rank: Four-Star]

[Introduction: It is said that in this endless hyperspace, there exists a place where top chefs from various worlds gather. Some call it an otherworldly izakaya, others a two-dimensional bar, but most commonly it is called the Multiverse Restaurant… Here, you can enjoy cuisine from different worlds, but the meal tickets you need… require a bit of luck to obtain.]

[Note: The owner of the cafeteria is surnamed Fang. If you are not confident enough, please do not dine and dash, please do not fight in the cafeteria, and please do not try to break in.]

"Ahhhhhh! I can't wait! Just thinking about it makes my mouth water!" Bai Aina couldn't help but wipe away non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth and jump up from the tree. Although the food had already been reserved, eating in a place like that was bound to be incredibly exciting, and she hoped something fun would happen.

After walking around in the woods, Bai Aina calmed herself down, took out the ordinary-looking yellow card from the book, and held it in her hand.

A simple, unremarkable wooden door appeared before Bai Aina. Ancient characters written in calligraphy were hanging on it, but unfortunately, the perfect creature girl couldn't understand this unknown language. She pulled the doorknob and walked inside.

A magnificent light filled the view, and when the light faded, what came into view was a hall covered by the setting sun.

Looking out from the glass doors and floor-to-ceiling windows, one can see fiery red clouds in the distance, and the setting sun is slowly sinking.

The sun's rays were gradually being blocked by the clouds, and the cafeteria was quite quiet, not as noisy as Bai Aina had imagined, and there weren't many people.

"Welcome~~~" The waiter, who walked unsteadily and seemed a bit neurotic, took the initiative to greet Bai Aina. "Was this a meal voucher drawn by the system? Okay, your seat is this way, please follow me."

Although the waiter didn't see Baina's meal ticket, just that one glance seemed to be enough for her to see through her, not even giving her a chance to lie.

But I have to say, as expected of a restaurant opened by the God of Cookery Fang... even the waiters seem ridiculously strong. From Bai Aina's current perception, the waiter in front of her possesses unfathomable power, even surpassing Sakazaki Takuma.

If she dared to make any small moves, she'd probably be chopped into pieces with her plate... Bai Aina couldn't help but mutter to herself. The waiter simply responded with a nervous smile and continued leading the way.

Although it didn't seem large at first glance, once she started walking around, Baina realized that the place was as big as a maze. In the distance, she could hear the singing of 'Binks's Wine,' clearly from the restaurant's band.

Led by the waiter, Baina easily arrived at an empty seat. When she saw the diners at the next table, she was stunned, then overwhelmed with emotion, unable to express it for a moment.

"Hey! Kakarot! How dare you steal my Mochi Ball Star food! That was my order!"

"You're so long-winded! I just ate it by accident, but it's really delicious. Wait! Vegeta, that's my Magic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall! You're not allowed to eat it!"

Seeing a short guy with a spiky hairstyle and a guy in a martial arts uniform with a crab-like hairstyle sitting in the seat next to her eating, Bai Aina didn't know what to say for a moment.

"By the way, sir. Would you like all the dishes served at once, or would you like to eat according to the standard procedure?" the swaying waiter asked before leaving.

“This? Let’s bring it all at once. I’m a rough man, I don’t know all those rules.” Bai Aina shook her head and turned her attention back to the two who were arguing.

Hmm... Anyway, I'm not allowed to eat the food at the next table, so I'll just find an opportunity to get an autograph later... That's it, I'll do that. Having made up her mind, Bai Aina sat in her seat, listening to the banter between the crab-headed and spiky-haired girls.

Ah, they really are two idiots... But it's quite amusing to listen to them bicker like that. I wish I could meet people like that too. Listening to the mundane details of others' daily lives, Bai Aina felt a surge of envy.

After all, no one has been able to accompany me all the way. Although I have made some friends along the way, none of them have been able to stay with me for very long.

【…】

【…】

Ah, no, it's time to eat now, how can I be so sad? If I keep going like this, it will affect the taste of the food. Bai Aina patted her cheeks, adjusted her mood, and sat down to prepare the food for the table.

Chapter Four: Only Love and Food Should Not Be Let Down

The air was filled with the sounds of fine wine and the aroma of delicious food. This was indeed a high-end, sophisticated dining hall; it didn't take long for all the dishes to be served. A table laden with unique and exquisite delicacies was laid out, making one's mouth water.

The dazzling light was so bright that it was impossible to open one's eyes. Baina took out the sunglasses she had prepared beforehand and put them on. At the same time, she called out to Newon and Lambda to come out and have dinner.

[Question: Is feeding necessary?] This machine can operate normally without feeding.

[Seconded: Since both this unit and Unit 12 share all five senses like the original, is there any need for them to eat?]

Come on, you guys are such a spoilsport! We're here to eat at a fancy restaurant, it's not good to be alone... Bai Aina rolled her eyes, not expecting much from these two clueless guys, and started eating after taking apart her chopsticks.

"Is this an appetizer? If I remember correctly, it should be fried persimmon... It tastes even better than I expected, the texture is simply unparalleled, the batter is incredibly crispy, and the inside is indeed soft and warm. This flavor... it should be fish? Red-spotted salmon! The essence of the flavor is all wrapped up and concentrated inside... Paired with this mayonnaise with Sichuan peppercorn buds, the creamy texture is truly appetizing."

"The soup is so rich in color, a deep brown broth that's not uncommon in culinary works. There's meat in it, the kind I've never had before, and this soup... just one sip and I feel an overwhelming surge of energy, as if every cell is bursting with vitality. No, not as if! Is this some kind of medicinal soup that stimulates hormones through the broth, making you feel full of energy?"

"Lobster... what a huge plate of lobster! But the taste is a bit different from regular lobster. It looks like lobster, but the meat has the delicate texture of crayfish, and it also contains flour. It's incredible that they can make flour taste like lobster meat. The broth is also very delicious."

"A black ball? That reminds me of something bad... But this round, sweet and sour, and rich aroma is simply irresistible. Ah, I see! The sweet and sour sauce made with black vinegar, paired with sweet and sour pork made with pork belly, is an absolutely terrifying suction that makes it impossible to pull your tongue away! It's a black hole! I ate a black hole!"

"Golden...meat? Unbelievable! It's as beautiful as a work of art, sculpted countless times by a craftsman. It has a rich aroma that's even more satisfying than the finest perfumes, and a dazzling color like dusty gold...I know what this tastes like now. The first bite is like braised beef tendon in Chinese sauce, the second bite is like foie gras that melts in your mouth, and the third bite is like braised pork that has absorbed all the broth...This is jewel meat!"
