This second dimension is too immortal

"Hmph! Then tell me! I want to see what excuse you can make up on the spur of the moment." Fujilin Xing snorted coldly.

"What are you making up? This is true..." Zhao Si was a little helpless, and then continued:

"Since you already have a system, it should also have a task function, right?"

"...That's true, but what does it have to do with this?" said Fujibayashi An.

Their system does issue some tasks every day, and depending on individual circumstances, everyone's daily tasks are different.

Back in Gensokyo, most quests were related to daily life. During the Simulated Battlefield period, most of the quests issued by the system were also related to the Simulated Battlefield. Now, however, they're all related to the battlefield world.

However, these tasks are not mandatory, and whether they are completed or not has no significant impact on the host himself.

Could it be that Zhao Si's situation is different from theirs?

Just as Teng Lin Xing finished this thought, she heard Zhao Si say:

"Yes, you know that when I went to Tohka and the others' world, I took the initiative to open the door to the world."

"Although this function is convenient, there is a prerequisite. You must complete the tasks issued by the system to open the door back to Gensokyo."

"So...there's nothing I can do." Zhao Si said helplessly.

It's true...

Thinking about it, Fujilin Xing suddenly frowned and asked again:

"No! Airi told me that you were the one who opened the gate that led them to Gensokyo. That's not what you said."

"Don't tell me you're still lying to me, right? If you keep doing this, I'm going to get mad! I'm really, really mad!"

Ai Li told you? Damn, has your relationship become this good?

Zhao Si's mouth twitched, and he could only continue to explain:

"It was indeed me who opened it. In fact, I was planning to return in the same way. Otherwise, how could I have promised you that I would be back soon? It's just..."

As he spoke, Zhao Si sighed deeply, and thought of the three hundred years of cooling down again, feeling extremely annoyed.

"That method has a cooldown, but I never expected it to be so long!!"

"...How long?"

Through Zhao Si's voice, Teng Linxing could even feel the deep helplessness and despair in it.

After following Zhao Si for such a long time, it was the first time that Teng Linxing felt such emotions from Zhao Si, and she couldn't help but believe it a little.

"...Three hundred years..." Zhao Si said and closed his eyes.

"Three hundred years..." Fujibayashi An was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but click her tongue.

"Sister? What's wrong? Did Brother Zhao Si say anything?"

Beside him, Fujibayashi Ryu and Sakagami Tomoyo huddled up next to Fujibayashi An, and Fujibayashi Ryu asked curiously. At the same time, Fujibayashi Ryu couldn't help but think in his mind.

What a pity! I was one step slower than my sister. If I had known, I would have called Brother Zhao Si directly. I am still struggling with how to talk to Brother Zhao Si... What an idiot, Fujibayashi Ryo!

"Ah? Nothing... Zhao Si told me something..." Teng Linxing shook her head.

No wonder, three hundred years is too long...

Is that why he couldn't come back immediately?

Thinking of this, the dissatisfaction in Fujilin Xing's heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a touch of heartache.

I learned from Ai Li that Zhao Si has lived in the Type-Moon world for eight years.

I miss him so much after not seeing him for just a few months. What about him after being separated for eight years?

When they first contacted each other, Fujibayashi An could sense the urgency in Zhao Si's words, which meant that he also missed her and everyone in Gensokyo...

Thinking differently, Teng Lin Xing put herself in Zhao Si's shoes. She had been away for a long time and thought she would be able to return home soon, but various accidents happened, causing her return date to be postponed again and again.

If it were me, I would be very anxious and worried...

"So, I may have to complete some tasks here before I can go back." Zhao Si said, touching his chin and falling into deep thought.

Is there any way to speed up the cooldown of a Noble Phantasm?

"System, do you have any suggestions?" Zhao Si asked in his heart.

It was just a casual question, and Zhao Si didn't expect the system to really give any advice, but the system's answer surprised Zhao Si.

[The cooldown time of a Noble Phantasm can indeed be affected by external forces.]

What a trick!

Zhao Si was overjoyed. Before he could ask any more questions, he heard Teng Linxing say:

"It's okay, Si. No matter when, I...we will wait for you to come back. Just go and complete the mission with peace of mind."

Her tone was gentle, like a wife calling to comfort her husband to work peacefully.

Zhao Si:?

Zhao Si was stunned when he heard the voice.

This...did I hear it wrong? Is it possible for my proud and arrogant Xing to say such a thing?

Not only Zhao Si, but also Fujibayashi Ryu and Sakagami Tomoyo beside Fujibayashi Anne were looking at Fujibayashi Anne with surprise at her gentle expression.

"!!!"

As if waking from a dream, Fujibayashi An, who had withdrawn from a certain emotion, instantly recalled what she had just said.

Ahhhh, what did I just say?! This is so embarrassing!!

A beautiful red flush suddenly appeared on Fujibayashi An's fair face, and when she noticed the gazes of her sister and Sakagami Tomoyo beside her, she felt so embarrassed that she could no longer bear it.

This this this this.... Stupid Zhao Si, what are you saying! !

Teng Lin Xing looked at the communication interface, completely forgetting that even if Zhao Si said it, she was the only one who could hear it in private chat.

"Oh...I understand..." Zhao Si was stunned for a moment. Although he didn't know what was going on, he nodded and agreed.

Well, you know what, Xing is quite cute when she speaks so gently, Zhao Si thought.

"By the way, my system just told me that maybe I can use some other methods to interfere with the cooling time. If that's the case, I will find a way to go back as soon as possible." Zhao Si couldn't help but say, thinking of what the system just said.

"Really? That's great! Uh..."

Upon hearing this, Fujilin Xing couldn't help but feel happy, but then she noticed the strange looks from the two people around her again, and felt embarrassed again.

"Well... that's it. I have some things to do here, so I won't talk about it for now."

"okay."

Upon hearing this, Fujibayashi An immediately hung up the phone.

"Ahem, what are you looking at me for?"

Turning her head, Fujibayashi Anne blushed slightly and said to Fujibayashi Ryu and Sakagami Tomoyo with forced calmness.

"...Sister, what did Brother Zhao Si say? When will he be back?"

Although he felt that his current elder sister was very interesting, she was still his younger sister after all. Fujibayashi Ryu suppressed the urge to tease Fujibayashi An and asked the question that concerned him.

Tomoyo Sakagami also cast her gaze over.

Hearing this, Teng Linxing thought for a moment and said, "Something happened with Zhao Si. He might not be able to come back in the short term, but he said he would find a way to solve it."

“…Is that so…”

When Fujibayashi Ryu heard this, although he had seen a clue from Fujibayashi An's previous words and the change in her expression, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Let's go. In fact, even if Zhao Sizhen comes back, it probably won't change the current situation. As I said before..." Fujibayashi An looked at Sakagami Tomoyo.

"We have to try it anyway. Maybe this will be the key to deciding the outcome."

Nodding, Sakagami Tomoyo said, "Let's go, if we're lucky, we might be able to tame it today."

After saying this, Sakagami Tomoyo tapped her toes and leaped into the air, heading towards a location within the enemy's range. The Fujibayashi sisters followed closely behind.

Teng Lin Xing hung up the call. After Zhao Si casually replied to a few friends' messages, he asked:

"System, you said the cooling of the Noble Phantasm can be affected by external forces. What external forces do you mean?"

[It is related to time, and naturally only the power of time can influence it.]

“The power of time…”

Zhao Si frowned and muttered to himself.

"You mean, I can use the power of time to speed up the cooling time of the Noble Phantasm, so that it can recover quickly in a short period of time?" Zhao Si said.

The power of time...

Zhao Si touched his chin and thought about it.

In fact, to be honest, the power of time is not difficult for Zhao Si to control.

Although the name of the "gongfa" that I practiced sounds ordinary and looks ordinary, it does have some substance.

As long as there are enough resources, let alone the power of time, space life can create and destroy anything it wants.

There will be no problem if you complete the construction of the three thousand avenues.

But these resources...emmm, they are really expensive.

Zhao Si once found something used to cultivate the power of time in the system mall, star sand.

A small bottle the size of a thumb cost three million points. Furthermore, if such a small bottle could allow Zhao Si to control the elementary power of time, then Zhao Si gritted his teeth and bought it.

But in reality, if you want to control the initial power of time, which symbolizes taking the first step on the path of time and gaining a glimpse of the path, you will need about ten bottles of this star sand...

Ten bottles, thirty million points!

Although those with better talents might consume less, for Zhao Si at that time, he couldn't even afford to buy a bottle.

From then on, Zhao Si never had any thoughts about the Avenue of Time again.

But now, there is nothing we can do!

"System, if it is the primary power of time, then when will the three hundred years of cooling time be completed at the earliest?" Zhao Si asked with a painful look on his face.

[Primary Time Power: Depending on the host's own strength, it can increase the time flow rate of a designated target by up to 1:100, with a cooldown of only three years.]

"Three years?"

Zhao Si frowned. Although this ratio was already very good, three years was still too long for Zhao Si.

"What if I break through to the Nascent Soul stage?" Zhao Si asked.

[Maximum 1:200, cooling time required is one and a half years.]

"What if it's even stronger?" Zhao Si said.

I have been stuck in the Golden Core stage for eight years. My foundation is so strong that if I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, I will be able to consolidate my position in the early Nascent Soul stage very quickly, or even move towards the middle Nascent Soul stage.

In this case, I still don’t believe that the cooling-off period can be reduced to less than one year.

[....The limit of the primary level of time power is 1:300. After that, the host needs to cultivate the intermediate level of time power.]

[Therefore, the host can only compress the cooling time to one year at most.]

Is there such a thing? It's lame.

Zhao Si was a little depressed. He had thought that as he grew stronger, time would be compressed. However, there was no problem on his side, but his initial time power was lagging behind...

Oh, forget it, even one year is better than three hundred years.

Intermediate Time Power...

Zhao Si opened the system mall and searched for a while before finally finding a superior substitute that was one level higher than Star Sand.

[Item: Time Delicate Heart

Purpose: Auxiliary item for the power of time.

Price: 50 million per piece]

Oh, goodbye!

Zhao Si didn't even think twice and directly closed the system interface. He took a deep breath.

The power of time and the like, isn’t the beginner level enough?

Well, it’s enough, it’s enough.
