Oak Cake Roll? Give it all to Firefly

Lin Shuang swore that she really had no extra thoughts when she said this.

Just by hearing Firefly's tone, she subconsciously wondered whether Firefly cared a lot about this matter or was very curious about it.

That's why it just came out of her mouth.

But after hearing these words, Firefly inevitably felt a little more shy.

"Yes, there are some..."

Of course, what Firefly expects is not just a simple kiss but the meaning contained in the kiss.

"I'm quite envious of the atmosphere when Silver Wolf and you get along."

Lin Shuang, who was originally having some wild thoughts, gradually calmed down after hearing Firefly's words.

Lin Shuang supported her chin and turned her head to look at Firefly's expression.

There seem to be many complicated thoughts hidden under the calm mood.

What is Firefly thinking about now?

Lin Shuang couldn't help but feel curious.

"Why don't we start by being friends?"

"Friends?"

"Yes, we don't have to have the same hobbies or do things together. It's enough to just chat and share some interesting things."

Lin Shuang smiled and explained to Firefly the relationship she had envisioned.

Firefly listened very carefully, but she couldn't help but feel confused at the end:

"Is this really considered a good relationship?"

"Of course not."

Firefly asked this question so seriously that Lin Shuang couldn't help laughing out loud.

But when Firefly heard this answer, she was stunned for a moment, opened her eyes wide, and looked at the smiling Lin Shuang in a daze.

Resisting the urge to pinch Firefly's little face, Lin Shuang continued:

"No one's relationship can be successful overnight. Start with the simplest friendship. You don't need to deliberately meet or like someone."

"Time will become the best soil for the germination of feelings."

"…"

Although Firefly was silent, the smile on her face betrayed her emotions.

She just nodded vigorously.

"Well, okay, let's start with friends."

Just when Firefly nodded.

A system prompt box popped up in front of Lin Shuang:

[Target: Firefly]

[Favorability: 71 (touched and expected)]

[Relationship: Friends]

['I first met you as a firefly, and you are a stranger to the Stellaron Hunters. However, your existence undoubtedly represents a special meaning.']

['Of course, this meaning is not deep enough. Your relationship is still like a firefly, fleeting.']

[Reward: Draw a white card once.]

Not only did the relationship become friends, but the favorability also increased a bit.

However, she was only given one chance to draw a card, and it was only a white card, probably because the relationship she established was too ordinary.

It's an even more dull relationship than the master-disciple relationship between Guinaifen.

…

The conversation with Firefly did not last long.

After all, it was just a break during study, and before long she was back to learning swordsmanship again.

After finishing today's practice.

When Lin Shuang left the game, Acheron, who was originally beside her, disappeared, and only the sound of water dripping in the bathroom could be heard.

With nothing to do, Lin Shuang lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and focused her attention on the remaining few lottery sessions.

Draw two green cards and one white card.

Draw the green one first.

After Lin Shuang silently said this in her heart, two green rays of light turned into words in front of her eyes:

[Taixuan Sword Qi: Heart Essence]

['Just learn the introductory chapter first. After all, with your skills, you can only practice this first.']

['Thank me, anyway. I'll help you get started with the introductory chapter, and you can practice the rest on your own.']

[Realm: Still Water]

(T/N: No idea if this is accurate at all; like, I could not find any info on Taixu sword energy other than one of her skills having Taixu in the name. The only other thing was the School of Taixuan from HI3.)

The first reward was obviously from Sushang.

And with the emergence of skills, a syllable and a very detailed introduction to the mind emerged in her mind, and her state of mind, or mentality, underwent a very obvious transformation.

Because of the skill introduction, Lin Shuang easily distinguished that she had now entered the realm of "still water.".

The mind has four states of being: 'still water, dust-free, bright mirror, and vast space.'. It is clear that she is only in the first state.

The second green light became material.

The same skill:

[Burn Status (Continuous Damage)]

['Classic debuff skill. Enemies covered by your flames will be burned with a high probability.']

['Effect: The Pokémon in the burned state...the enemy's attack power will be halved, and it will continue to receive damage for a period of time.']

['Note: The attack weakening effect will fluctuate depending on the difference in strength between the enemy and you.']

"…"

You copied this skill directly from a Pokémon, right? You almost revealed the name, as if you were afraid she wouldn't be able to see it.

Never mind... as long as it works.

This thing comes with a 50% damage reduction, which is probably okay in the game; after all, it has a survival position.

But in reality, this is really a simple and practical skill.

Directly weaken the opponent's attack by half. For opponents of the same level, the outcome is basically no suspense after this half cut.

Even if the effect is reduced when facing some strong enemies, it is better to reduce it as much as possible.

There is one last white card draw left.

The things given by drawing white cards cannot be said to be useless, whether they are storage cards or full bottles, although they look ordinary.

But one can directly hold an active Stellaron without leaking out. The other can hold the Heliobus in place securely, and they don't look like simple items at all.

Sometimes, Lin Shuang even had the illusion that these things were green or purple items.

But if you want to know how useful they are, both of them have their own limitations.

If Lin Shuang hadn't drawn the Herrscher Core at the beginning, these two things would not be of much use.

So Lin Shuang understood the white objects.

They are probably the kind that have good points but also flaws. They are not very useful when taken alone, but they can be effective if they are combined with other practical things.

Draw a card!

Lin Shuang muttered to herself.

With a flash of white light, a corrugated cardboard box logo appeared before our eyes.

[One box of Oak Cake Rolls]

['It is said that the food of the poor was added with sawdust in order to fill their stomachs, but later it became a habit of some wealthy people to recall the bitter past and think of the sweet past.']

['If this looks like oak, smells like oak, and tastes like oak, then it should be oak, not cake!!']

"Ah…"

The slap in the face came so quickly that it caught people off guard.

One moment she said there would be something useful, but the next moment she drew a big box of snacks.

The key is that this thing doesn't taste good...

The introduction says it has an oak flavor. Can chewing wood be delicious?

Forget it, I'll just take two to try and pack up the rest and give them all to Firefly.

T/N: Bro any pokemon fanfics w/ rayquaza? I saw one on the Chinese fanfic site but are they a fucking pain in the ass to read. Respect to all the pokemon fanfic translators out there like.
