Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

He then raised his hand and asked, "What would you like to eat? I'll go buy it."

For a moment, everyone looked at Qi Ji, and no one spoke, waiting for him to speak first.

Seeing this, Qi Ji said, "Soy milk and fried dough sticks will do."

Just as Setsuna was about to add to Saki's comment, the quick-tongued Hōki beat her to it, saying, "The soy milk has to be savory!"

moment:"……"

“Okay, what about you guys?” Bai Lili looked at the other three.

Surprisingly, all three gave the same answer:

"casual."

Liuli and Shana used the word "whatever" to deal with it because they were neither in the mood nor had an appetite.

As for Huomu, he said "whatever" because he really was casual about it.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

As Bai Lili left, Shana hesitated for a moment and gave Huomu a wink.

Unfortunately, Huo Mu didn't understand her meaning at all, so she could only step forward in annoyance and lightly kick Huo Mu twice, signaling the latter to come out with her.

I left the ward and closed the door.

Huo Mu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Is there something you can't say in the room?"

She rolled her eyes in an instant, almost driven mad by Huo Mu's cluelessness in reading people's expressions!

"Let's give Ruri and Saki some... space to be alone..."

Although doing so might seem like helping her "enemy," it was ultimately her own loose tongue that caused the trouble.

……

In an instant, only Saki and Ruri remained in the ward.

Liuli finally no longer needed to hold back and spoke in a trembling voice:

"Why did you save me? You clearly..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qi Ji's finger was already touching her lips once again.

"I don't want to hear those words again."

Liuli, do you know that I have always believed that words have power?

The more often you say something, the more likely it becomes to be believed.

So, if you, Ruri, still feel guilty no matter what—

Then live well.

And then one day, when I need you, please...

He appeared beside me.

The moment Qi Ji finished speaking, Liu Li froze in shock.

So, what Saki-chan means is...

Does he need me?

Really are……

There are no gentler words than these.

……

Upon seeing this in the live chat, the shippers rushed to the scene:

"Wow! The Ji Li CP is definitely the most exciting to ship!"

"Hey! Kill me to entertain them!"

"I can already picture it! When Lao Ji stands alone against the whole world, it is Liu Li who stands firmly by his side!"

"??? Can't you eat something decent?! How could we, Hajiji, possibly stand against the whole world?!"

"Despicable glass fans! To obtain the Prison of Death, they actually came up with such an outrageous plot!"

……

Despite being portrayed as a "bad woman," she is surprisingly sensitive and fragile inside.

After finally managing to coax Liuli into a good mood, Qi Ji took the opportunity to rest, and then, under the guise of taking a nap, he eagerly closed his eyes and opened the system interface.

Of course, it's also because Saki's home and the hospital are quite far apart, so it will take her sister a while to get there.

Qi Ji also wanted to take advantage of this time to first go to the Sea of ​​Consciousness to buy some goods.

Log in! Let's play a round!

The fact that it was so difficult to defeat Chiho Kamishiro made Saki's desire to become stronger even more urgent; he didn't want to waste a single second.

As a result, as soon as the system interface opened, a large number of tipping notifications popped up.

Qi Ji glanced at the comments from those who had given him tips, and they were all expressing their sympathy for him.

"Ah, this..."

Although he never intended to gain popularity by "playing the victim," he unexpectedly ended up living the life of a "beautiful, strong, and tragic" character...

In short, thank you all for your generous donations!

And, I'm sorry, you misunderstood!

Also, please rest assured, I will not die!

I'm the kind of man who's going to live to the very end!

After silently apologizing to the audience, Qi Ji couldn't wait to jump to the [Sea of ​​Consciousness] interface.

really!

Because of the infinite weakness of the [Thousand Faces] card, the "frequency imprint" left by the Sea of ​​Consciousness on the [Thousand Faces] card also weakened!

At this moment, the login page for the [Sea of ​​Consciousness] lit up again.

This means that Saki is welcome to come back and restock anytime!

What else is there to say?

Let's go!

His perfect potential!

His royal lineage!

Brother's here!

However, when Saki excitedly clicked to log in, his consciousness did not "ascend" immediately.

What appeared before Qi Ji's eyes was instead a disappointing system notification:

【Ding! 】

[The system detects that the host's body is in a weakened state; we suggest you get some rest.]

rest?

Rest my ass!

What are their intentions in preventing him from becoming stronger?

Ignoring the warning, Qi Ji continued entering!

In an instant, a familiar feeling came over him, as if his soul had left his body, and Qi Ji's consciousness soared infinitely.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back on his beloved little boat.

Then, the system notification sounded again:

【Ding! 】

[Upon detection that the host ascended to the Sea of ​​Consciousness, bearing multiple curses, the passive effect "Silver Prayer" was triggered!]

[“Fortune and misfortune are intertwined”: When in the sea of ​​consciousness, for every curse the host possesses, one blessing can be drawn!]

[Note: The same curse only triggers "Fu Yi" upon the first login (the draw qualification cannot be retained or continued)]

Current number of curses: 3.

You can draw three blessings!

[Note: All blessings drawn are only effective during this Sea of ​​Consciousness login period and will be reset upon exiting.]

Holy crap, is this for real?

Qi Ji felt that the Sea of ​​Consciousness was simply a blessed place for him!

Give him a surprise every time he logs in!

Anyway-

【Silver Wish】Awesome!

That million was totally worth it!

In order to understand the so-called "protection" effect, Saki carefully studied the system's prompts.

After looking at it for a while, I finally made out the words between the lines; the whole line contained only two characters—

"It's open!"

After the Thousand Faces Card was weakened to an infinite degree, Saki was originally planning to "run away with the knife".

The strong have their arrogance, and the weak have their own ways of playing.

A true master is one who can adapt to different versions and adjust their strategies accordingly.

For Saki, running away with his knife is clearly the optimal solution.

After all, his "Thousand Faces" ability isn't fully established yet.

Its biggest advantage is that "data entry" is free.

In other words, he could make a pure profit simply by taking any fragments with him.

Of course, all of this happened before Qi Ji triggered the "misfortune and fortune are interdependent" event.

Now that we can draw "blessings," we have to go back to the point—

Three consecutive draws, let's go!

Congratulations! You have drawn Speed ​​Blessing (White)!

Congratulations! You have drawn Speed ​​Blessing (White)!

Congratulations! You've drawn Speed ​​Blessing (Gold)!

When the first two identical messages popped up, Qi Ji's first reaction was that the system had frozen.

It wasn't until the third notification flashed with golden light that Qi Ji suddenly realized, good heavens, he had been hit by three "speed buffs" in a row!

And incredibly, they were able to withdraw their winnings!

Sure enough, who said he was "not"?

Without that unlucky guy Su Shi, things have gotten better for him!

I can get gold from any random blessing draw, so I'll be sure to get even more when I open the treasure chests later!

However, the three speed buffs didn't provide any combat power whatsoever...

Even the heavens are determined to make him run for the knife...

Then let's run away!

Qi Ji glanced at the map, intending to check the location of nearby treasure chests.

However, the next second, he suddenly noticed something was wrong!

The "expulsion time" displayed next to his map had now become positive infinity!

Qi Ji's clever little brain clicked, and he immediately understood.
