Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

The bedroom is well soundproofed, so now we don't need to keep our voices down as much as we used to.

After learning that Bai Lili had arranged everything—the hospital, the ward, and the doctors they had just hired—Xi Wang sincerely thanked her.

"Thank you for taking care of my brother!"

Seeing the girl in the wheelchair bow so formally to her, Bai Lili was startled and hurriedly moved away.

"No, no, no! It's always been your brother who has taken care of us. We're the ones who should be thanking him!"

Seeing this, the others also expressed their sincere gratitude to Qi Ji, especially to Xi Wang.

The result was that the scene became—

As soon as Xi Wang finished bowing and straightened up, Bai Lili and the other three bowed back to her in unison, as if they were having a competition to see who could bow the deepest...

Xi Wang was completely stunned.

So, what exactly did my brother do at school?

She could understand when the purple-haired man bowed to her, after all, her brother had just saved her life.

But these few...

Did my brother save them all?

After several rounds of polite exchanges between the two sides, the atmosphere finally began to ease.

Although Xi Wang spends most of her time at home, she only has one close friend besides her brother, and she doesn't have much experience communicating with people.

But after only a short while, she began to handle things with ease and composure.

This scene even made Setsuna, who came from a prominent family and had a strict upbringing, feel a sense of kinship.

Suddenly, Setsuna became even more curious about the background of the Saki siblings.

……

Before leaving home, Xi Wang specially applied light makeup to cover up her Echo Erosion Syndrome.

Her echo erosion disease had led to her being told she wouldn't live past five years old at birth, but after meeting her brother, it was as if a miracle had occurred to her.

Her symptoms miraculously subsided.

Even now, she can manipulate her mind's energy to suppress it for a short period of time, and with some makeup tricks, she can make herself look no different from an ordinary person.

No, there's still something different...

Because she was in a wheelchair.

Xi Wang could tell that when she appeared in the ward, although her brother's classmates tried to restrain themselves, they would still glance at her legs from time to time.

However, everyone tacitly agreed not to bring up the topic.

Given this, Xi Wang naturally wouldn't bring it up on his own initiative.

At this moment, Xi Wang's attention was mostly focused on the three girls.

She is discerning—

Who poses no threat, who can be approached, and who should be guarded against.

……

The sea of ​​consciousness.

A bright red beam of light shot into the sky.

In an instant, the thick fog that stretched for miles around was completely dispelled, and the sky above the Sea of ​​Consciousness was filled with crimson.

【Ding! 】

Congratulations on winning—

[Vector Spectrum Fragment - Instantaneous Launch (Myth)!]

[After use, vector-based spellcasting speed is increased by 45%!]

Looking at the mythological fragment in his hand, Qi Ji's heart skipped a beat.

The image of him and Ciel together can be simply described in four words:

"Great joy and great sorrow".

Qi Ji was overjoyed.

Ciel, lying on the ground unable to move, was naturally the one suffering the greatest sorrow.

The latter is like an incompetent husband, watching helplessly as Saki takes away his beloved, unable to even utter a single "no".

At that moment, Ciel felt like dying!

He even wished that the sea of ​​consciousness would quickly obliterate his spirit so that he wouldn't have to suffer the torment of watching this scene anymore.

Myth fragments! These are myth fragments!

Even for the Isolde family, it is a treasure beyond compare!

At this moment, Charles felt utterly hopeless.

Destroy him, he's so tired!

Meanwhile, the four teammates next to Charles stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

They didn't know that Saki could freely choose fragments and even bypass the "solidification" restriction, so they just thought that Xia Er was an idiot.

—This guy had been saying that he hadn't refined his myth fragments yet, and they all thought that Xia Er would at least have a conceptual creation that could solidify the fragments.

Unexpectedly, this guy really didn't take any safety precautions before entering the sea of ​​consciousness!

They could only silently admire him in their hearts:

Awesome!

Is this the foundation of a powerful and influential family?

They don't even care if fragments of mythology are leaked?

……

The moment the fragments of mythology were born, strange phenomena descended upon the sea of ​​consciousness!

The entire surface layer of the sea of ​​consciousness was disturbed at this moment.

Qi Ji didn’t dare to delay. He quickly touched the remaining four boxes and then ran away with the gifts of nature—one red, one gold, one purple, and two blue!

That's fucking exciting!

After receiving the blessing, Saki was prepared for a protracted battle...

Unexpectedly, he had already gathered all the materials needed for the perfect awakening of the Echo Core in just two hours!

There are still more good people than bad in the sea of ​​consciousness!

Saki will never forget Dorothy, who sponsored Golden Shards during the early stages of his career.

When he ascends the throne, she will certainly reap the rewards!

What, you mean Ciel?

Saki hasn't settled the score with him yet for "the Isolde family stealing his myth fragments"!

The fragments of the Ciel myth should have rightfully belonged to him!

As Qi Ji ran, he opened the system map and was shocked by what he saw.

This time, the situation is a thousand times, ten thousand times more severe than when he withdrew his funds last time!

After all, legendary fragments are just anomalies within a few miles, but mythological fragments are practically a server-wide announcement!

This is also the "self-protection" mechanism of the sea of ​​consciousness:

For the Sea of ​​Consciousness, the Echoer's login is like an invasion.

Every fragment that the Echoers took out of the Sea of ​​Consciousness was equivalent to excavating the very foundation of the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

Therefore, the higher the level of the fragment, the more the Sea of ​​Consciousness will try to prevent the Echoer from taking it away.

At this very moment, all the third to fifth-order Echoers on the surface of the Sea of ​​Consciousness received the coordinates of the myth fragments sent to them by the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

In an instant, Qi Ji, who ran away with the fragments of echo, became the most dazzling star in the entire Sea of ​​Consciousness!

The third-tier Echoer, who was already on the edge of the zone, immediately sprinted towards Saki.

Fourth-order Echoers from the Deep Zone also began to set off.

Even the fifth-tier Echoers in the more distant core area were alarmed!

Saki looked at the countless red dots surging towards him on the minimap—

No, it can hardly be called a little red dot anymore!

The tiny red dots are densely packed together, like a red tide!

It's so gruesome it's giving me trypophobia!

Holy crap!!!

This time, Saki was truly panicked.

No, is such a big fuss really necessary?

It's just a fragment of mythology, is it really necessary to go this crazy?

Why do you all act like you've never seen the world before...?

So, is it really possible for him to safely evacuate with the fragments of mythology?

Even with his cheat-like abilities, Saki couldn't help but start to worry about his own life.

His cheat codes seem a bit too low...

The most frustrating thing is that, due to the special nature of the myth fragments, Saki can only evacuate by going to the designated "conditional evacuation point".

You need to pay a specified amount of Echo Fragments, or kill a certain number of Echoers...

This is because only such special evacuation points have sufficient stability to withstand the consciousness shocks that occur when myth fragments pass through.

But these "conditional evacuation points" have all been marked out by the trench's sea of ​​consciousness at this very moment!

All echoers can see it!

In other words, even if Qi Ji rushes there at top speed right now, he is very likely to be blocked at the evacuation point by the prepared Echoers...

For a moment, Saki was genuinely sweating.

He had finally reunited with the fragments of mythology he had lost for so many years in the sea of ​​consciousness; what if it all turned out to be a false alarm...?

Think of a way, think of a way quickly!

As Qi Ji ran frantically toward his small boat, he racked his brains.

Got it!

On a sudden impulse, Qi Ji pulled out the two fragments, one gold and one red, and stuffed them into his mouth.

He is now under the "infinite weakness" buff!

Is it possible that this infinitely weakening buff could also weaken the conspicuous aura of the myth fragments, which "blindly brighten the entire sea of ​​consciousness"?

Saki swallowed the fragment whole.

Of course, since Saki is currently in a spirit state, the so-called swallowing action is just a formality.

A more accurate statement is that Saki took the two fragments into his spirit.

However, the development that Saki had hoped for did not occur the next second.

Instead, Qi Ji's entire spirit began to glow red, making him look like a running red light bulb...

This action not only failed to conceal his presence, but instead made him even more conspicuous in the thick fog of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Gan!

Qi Ji stared anxiously at the approaching red dot on the map.

Fortunately, he had three life-saving "speed buffs".

The speed of a third-tier echoer is far inferior to his, and even a fourth-tier echoer might not be able to outrun him once on the ship.
