Popularity is everything; I play a super genius

Meanwhile, Saki, completely unaware of what was happening, smugly dodged her first attack and was about to unleash a barrage of flirtatious remarks on her—

Then they were immediately blasted into a state of utter stupidity by the second, third, and fourth waves of fire rain!

whee!

"Looked for a long time? No, I just grabbed it."

Saki told him frankly.

However, when Su Shi heard these words, it was not the case at all.

My brother is worried that I'll feel guilty if I accept it!

Waaaaah, my brother is so great!

"By the way, don't you want to see the fragments of mythology?" Qi Ji suddenly asked, remembering something.

When he told Su Shi the truth, he was still vaguely worried that the latter might become greedy...

After all, this is a fragment of mythology!

In the Echoing Realm, let alone siblings, even the closest of blood relatives have turned against each other because of this.

However, Su Shi's response was merely to echo the words:

“Great, I’ve never seen what a fragment of mythology looks like.”

It was really just out of curiosity.

And, as if wanting to satisfy her brother's desire to show off...

This guy doesn't seem to have much interest in mythological fragments or anything like that...

Even when Sakiji really took out the fragment of the myth and placed it in front of Sushi, the girl just tilted her head to look at it, and then, as if remembering something, suddenly felt overjoyed for Sakiji:

"Brother, with this, will you become stronger?"

My brother will surely become the strongest guardian spirit in the sea of ​​consciousness!

"Great! Then I can be the strongest guardian spirit's sister!"

Rather than becoming the strongest, Su Shi wants to be the younger sister of the strongest person.

Seeing Su Shi's reaction, Qi Ji suddenly felt a little embarrassed, remembering his earlier thought of asking Su Shi to help him clear the mines at the evacuation point.

Or should we just forget about it?

He can simply wait a little longer in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Just when Qi Ji himself was about to give up on the plan, Su Shi suddenly slapped his forehead and had a flash of inspiration:

"Brother, so you want to go to the Mythical Escape Point, but you're worried that the Isolde family might be lying in ambush there? Why don't I go scout ahead for you?"

Su Shi was incredibly proud of his extraordinary wisdom!

She can finally help her brother!

"This...this isn't a good idea, is it? If you die in the Sea of ​​Consciousness, you'll be weak for a long time when you return to reality. What if you haven't recovered by the time of the Grand Competition..."

"But this will help my brother, won't it? If my brother becomes stronger, it's the same as me becoming stronger!"

As for the grand competition, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

After all, my brother just gave me an epic fragment, and now I have three fragments fully socketed!

Even if I'm weak, I'm sure I can beat that guy, Saki!

And the competition is still half a month away, so things should be back to normal by now!

"I might not see my brother for the next two weeks, sob sob..."

"Then maybe we should just forget about it."

"No! I finally have a chance to help my brother!"

Su Shiyi insisted repeatedly.

Saki suddenly thought of something and said:

"By the way, can your [Mirror Image] clone be used to probe for clues?"

"That's right! I have clones! Although the combat power of clones weakens infinitely beyond a certain distance, they're fine even without combat power if I'm just scouting!"

Upon hearing this, Su Shi's eyes lit up.

In the dark, it seems that when it comes to intelligence and wit, the older brother is indeed superior!

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Saki was momentarily filled with envy.

Your skill is just too useful!

"But brother, why are you going to the evacuation point? Aren't you the guardian spirit of the Sea of ​​Consciousness? Even if you enter the evacuation point, you can't evacuate."

"Eh? Cough cough, um..."

"I see! It's because refining the mythical fragments requires the use of an evacuation point, right!"

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes!"

Saki couldn't help but sigh, having a younger sister who could fill in the blanks on her own was so convenient.

So the brother and sister discussed some details and then set off immediately.

The yacht was moored next to the 8820 island. Su Shi activated his armor and controlled the "Mirror Clone" to go to the island.

A few minutes later—

"Brother! Run!" Su Shi's clone shattered, and his main body suddenly opened its eyes, loudly reminding Qi Ji.

Upon hearing this, Qi Ji instantly accelerated with nitrogen, and the yacht shot off like an arrow!

As soon as Qi Ji sailed away from the coast, an Isolde birdman with flapping wings appeared at the spot where he had just moored his boat.

That guy was furious as he ran in the direction Qi Ji had fled:

"That sly fox! It escaped again?! How can it be so cunning! It's so hard to catch! *cook*!"

Just know!

Saki gave the birdman the middle finger from afar, inwardly sighing:

Why is the Isolde family so shady?!

Fortunately, the devil is one foot tall, but the righteous are ten feet tall!

From then on, Saki gave up the idea of ​​leaving in the short term.

He was cruising through the Sea of ​​Consciousness with Su Shi in his car, just about to open a few more treasure chests to pass the time, when the next moment—

Suddenly, I noticed several wild boxes appearing near the minimap.

Qi Ji immediately understood. Because the emergence of the myth fragments caused great chaos, a large number of echoers logged in and gathered, constantly encountering each other. Therefore, conflicts and the struggle for fragments were inevitable.

So, these are the leftovers that have been licked clean?

Qi Ji immediately decided to go over and show off his skills.

Sailing the yacht with Su Shi on board, they braved the wind and waves, heading straight for the marked location on the box.

A moment later, we arrived at our destination.

From the system's perspective, all the boxes were floating on the sea.

Undoubtedly, these are all gifts from nature!

Saki will not be polite.

He leaned closer and showed off a lot!

Okay, it's all garbage!

The best pieces in these boxes were green, and three of them were completely white, with no other color in sight...

So, most echoers live such a hard life?

Qi Ji could only reluctantly accept the gifts, and then immediately handed them all over to Su Shi.

Even if one doesn't pick up anything here, the Sea of ​​Consciousness will take a fragment from the dead as the "price of the echo." This is the punishment for dying in the Sea of ​​Consciousness.

If you're obsessed with cheap deals, then you might as well let him have it for free.

……

Qi Ji's actions left Su Shi completely stunned.

She didn't have a system interface, so from her perspective, it was just that her brother stretched out his hand into the air and suddenly produced five fragments, two green and three white.

Are these the natives of the Sea of ​​Consciousness?

The treatment is too generous, isn't it?

Guardian spirits are great, especially when the right guardian spirit is chosen!

The moment he spoke of it, his resolve to live on after death was strengthened.

Even after she dies, she will be a guardian spirit!

Hey!

However, Su Shi shook his head and refused the shards thrown by Qi Ji:

"Brother, my echo slots are already full!"

"You're at level three, right? Use this to build your mental palace."

Anyway, Saki has no use for these junk fragments—

He's still just a pure sports student; the palace can't be built yet.

As for upgrading the small boat?

After the Miracle Ship was upgraded to Lv2, its tastes became more discerning. Now, it will only eat blue fragments if it is absolutely necessary.

In other words, the white and green fragments, which are considered "treasures" by most Echoers, are truly of no use to Qi Ji...

This experience of "eating leftovers" opened a door to a new world for Saki.

He suddenly realized that there seemed to be a more efficient way to get rich than opening treasure chests.

Unfortunately, this way of getting rich quick only happens once.

In the future, it will be impossible to have so many echoers gather together and open so many boxes.

That certainly can't be wasted!

And so, Qi Ji led Su Shi on a journey of "picking up corpses".

Especially when returning to the sea area where Saki was previously surrounded by the Kamishiro and Isolde families—

The map is full of boxes!

For Saki Jakuro!

"Good heavens, did you start a world war right here after I left?"

Qi Ji touched them one by one until his hands went numb!

The harvest goes without saying!

This one "meal delivery point" alone delivered twenty-three fragments to Saki!

Although it feels like far more than just this many people died in this sea area, it's probably because the boxes also have a limited shelf life.

The boxes that died early had already been "licked clean" by the sea of ​​consciousness.

Among the twenty-three fragments, three are purple, all of which belong to the genealogy of the mind.

Saki recognized him at a glance—

Needless to say, it's the Kamishiro family!

Good riddance!

It's likely that after Saki ran away, Isolde was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, so she casually killed those gods from the Kamishiro family to vent her anger...

These three purple fragments of the soul are useless to the world.

Her echo core cannot mimic the spectrum of the mind.
