How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel

The bread, dipped in jam, releases a delicate fruity aroma that lingers in the air one moment, then...

When I opened my eyes, all I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

"?"

Xu Yan rubbed her forehead, realizing she couldn't recall the feeling of the bread after it entered her mouth. Her body seemed to be resisting something, and she had a terrible headache.

Judging from the room's decor, it's a school clinic.

Was he attacked by an unknown force after he put the bread in his mouth?!

"Oh, you're awake."

Just as Xu Yan was about to get out of bed, she heard a gentle and clear voice coming from behind the curtains.

That was the voice of the pretty older sister who had struck up a conversation with him before he ate the bread and jam.

The curtain that was blocking the view was pulled back, and it was indeed that beautiful older sister whom no one knew.

At this moment, Miss Fox was wearing a professional skirt with a white coat over it, and her fair skin was faintly visible through her black pantyhose. She had frameless glasses perched on her nose, and her intellectual and elegant image made Xu Yan blush.

—How come I didn't notice how powerful this older sister was before!

"The surgery must have been very successful?"

Xu Yan: "!"

After a flurry of frantic checks to see if I was missing or had any extra health information, I finally breathed a sigh of relief once I confirmed that everything I needed was there.

He exclaimed, "That joke is terrifying!"

"I'm not kidding." Miss Fox shook her head and pushed up her glasses. "Your exchange is for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit with no side effects, a Zanpakuto, and several Lightning Release techniques, right?"

Xu Yan's eyes widened immediately.

What happened while he was unconscious? His underwear was completely ripped open!

System! Where's the system?! System, what are you doing—hey?

After mentally calling out for a while, Xu Yan, who hadn't seen the system interface pop up for a long time, finally realized that the system that would fail and wipe out at the drop of a hat seemed to be gone.

"Your system is right here." Miss Fox waved the system core in her hand.

The system's strength is not high; even if it were used for group enhancement, it might not increase the progress bar, so I'm keeping it.

It could also be due to the system's low strength. After the system was removed, the power that the host Xu Yan exchanged did not decrease much. He only lost the system's assistance in using energy, which made his control over his own abilities extremely poor.

Well, at least it's not completely retro anymore.

In the early stages of the system-based system, the abilities you obtain are similar to those in the God Space: you are given the ability, but whether you can use it is up to you, which can be considered a trap in a sense.

This exchange feature, with its auxiliary control, feels like a minor system update.

"Wait a minute, that's not right. If my power is controlled with the help of the system, doesn't that mean the system can take back the things I exchange at any time?!" More than the fact that power needs to be practiced and controlled, Xu Yan was more concerned about the second layer of truth revealed by this situation.

If you don't have primary control over the power of exchange, it's basically no different from not owning it at all.

In this way, the power exchange is more like a rental than an exchange. Once the system has the idea of ​​leaving, Xu Yan doesn't believe that the other party will kindly leave the power to him.

"Congratulations, your idea is correct!"

??(ˊωˋ*)??

The energetic Miss Fox made a cute gesture.

As mentioned before, the early system was basically a one-person game with a powerful god. In the later stages of Infinite Terror, there were often restrictions on the abilities and items that could be exchanged. How could the early system not have these issues?

Aside from the inability to dynamically adjust the difficulty, the early system was no different from the main god system.

"Why bother telling him so much?" Xilin, who had also changed into a white lab coat, peeked out. "Anyway, he probably doesn't know much about it. Helping him remove the system is already letting him off easy."

There are many transmigrators in this mixed world, and in Xilin's eyes, Xu Yan is just an ordinary one among them, whose strength can be described as that of a grunt.

At this level, I have absolutely no hope of knowing anything.

"If we're going to ask, wouldn't it be faster to just ask the world's consciousness directly?"

"If I may ask," Miss Fox said, shrugging.

With so many transmigrators possessing systems in this world, how could the world's consciousness possibly remain conscious or in a normal state?

I checked it early this morning, and as expected, it was completely silent.

"...So, you're here to investigate the anomalies in this world too?"

Xu Yan seemed to know something; his reaction was not at all like someone who was ignorant.

Xilin glanced at her six-month-old mother in surprise, her azure eyes seemingly conveying the words "This is possible?"

Clearly, Celine believed that was the power of customer service.

Miss Fox also thought it must have been a gift from the customer service representative.

"So, Mr. Xu Yan, do you know anything?"

"...Did I mention my name?" Xu Yan scratched his head, thought for a moment, and then gave up. "I don't know much, I just met a few other people who were also investigating something and asked me for information."

"So you mean you yourself know nothing?" Sirin pressed.

"Yes, they haven't shared any intelligence with me; they've all lost contact."

Xu Yan had no intention of hiding anything, and he also mentioned the characteristics of the investigators he had contacted and the questions they had asked.

They seem to be members of the Transmigrator Alliance, and according to Xu Yan's account, they came to this world in search of something.

However, since they all disappeared after being questioned by Xu Yan once, Xu Yan didn't know much about them.

"They all disappeared in Hikari-zaka, so I came to check on them."

Hikari-zaka has disappeared...

Miss Fox nodded; it was indeed easy to get lost here.

Hikari-zaka is a bit special in this mixed world.

Besides its unique features from the original work, it also possesses a natural affinity with Soul Society, and it serves as a gateway to Fairy Tail, One Piece, and the Ninja World. It also has an entrance to Gensokyo, making it arguably the center of the world.

"I guess it accidentally fell into some other world."

It's hard not to think that way.

"What?! Hikari-zaka has an entrance to Gensokyo!?"

Xu Yan was very excited; he jumped out of bed as soon as he heard about the entrance to Gensokyo.

Do you like Gensokyo that much?

Miss Fox, do you remember that human activities in Gensokyo are quite restricted? They can basically only move around in the human village, while freedom and joy belong to youkai.

Even if they have some strength, they are easily targeted by Yukari Yakumo, and their freedom is limited.

"Uh...that seems to be the case..."

Although that's what he said, Xu Yan's expression told a completely different story.

I was still thinking about going to Gensokyo.

"Mom, do you think the clues might be in Gensokyo?" Sirin, after giving Xu Yan a deep look, changed her tune, "After all, there's the customer service lady's guidance."

Justified and convincing.

All the people who came to investigate had been in contact with Xu Yan, and the first person they contacted upon arrival was Xu Yan. Such a coincidence might really be due to the guidance of the customer service lady.

And where Xu Yan wants to go might also be a kind of guidance.

"From this perspective, it would indeed be better to go to Gensokyo."

Anyway, I'm single now, so it doesn't matter where I go.

Chapter 1495 Things Did Not Go As Planned ( )

"I don't need to explain why this is the entrance to Gensokyo, do I?"

On a hilltop outside Hikari-zaka, there stands a dilapidated shrine.

Hakurei Shrine.

In most fan works, the entrance to Gensokyo from the outside world is a replica of the Hakurei Shrine, but it is dilapidated and neglected.

Since it's a retro-themed, mixed-up world, this setting was naturally incorporated.

"So you brought all these gold bars because you wanted to sleep with that witch?"

Seeing Xu Yan carrying several bags of gold bars that couldn't all fit in his spatial ring, Xilin couldn't help but complain.

She has made up for some of the things about the East.

I know how shameless the fan-made Hakurei Shrine Maiden is, so I'm very suspicious of Xu Yan's behavior of carrying so many gold bars. I wonder if he has some ulterior motive.

"I'm not that bad!" Xu Yan felt insulted and retorted loudly, "I need to regain my power now. If I go to a dangerous place like Gensokyo, I'll definitely need to find someone to back me up!"

It is reasonable, well-founded, and convincing.

After all, the Hakurei Shrine Maiden in the fanfiction has an abstract setting of being invincible within a large barrier, which is indeed the most suitable backer, and the way to obtain protection is so simple.

"Then what about those magic books in your pocket, those special guides for casting magic cannons? Your purpose is too obvious!"

"Haha, you can never have too many powerful backers!"

"And a full set of professional photography equipment... You're probably not looking for a backer, but rather to build a harem, aren't you?"

"How could that be? I'd be happy just to make friends with them!"

"Then what about these bottles of the Water of Life? Are they the Azure Sea?"

"..."

Xu Yan seemed to have no reason to refute and fell silent.

So she really wants to build a harem.

Xilin moved a few steps away from Xu Yan with disdain.

What is the Azure Sea?
