Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!-Chapter 1560 - 1558: System, You Screwed Me Again! (Ugh... My Head Hurts So Bad)
[Special Mission: Deification]
[The game you created has taken the world by storm, and you are the God of Games in the eyes of players. What you must do is live up to that title.]
[Mission Requirement: Create world-changing games in three consecutive worlds.]
[Special Mission ’Deification’ Completed]
[Mission Evaluation: Acceptable]
[User has gained the extra Divine Position: God of Games]
[Would you like to claim the extra reward?]
Still a reward?
Seeing this, Fang Zheng couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy. Initially, when he saw that the mission evaluation was merely "acceptable," he had no expectations. Now it seems the system clearly saw through his intention to exploit a loophole. In fact, in the Type Moon World, Fang Zheng had Flowers and the others deal with Barthomeloi personally not only to have them experience their responsibilities but also to successfully complete the mission.
After all, the mission required using "games to change the world," and the reason Fang Zheng created ’Duel City’ in the Type Moon World was naturally to weaken the Twelve Lords Clan by exposing their magical secrets, ultimately to defeat them. However, if Fang Zheng intervened directly, then the system might not have considered the condition "the game weakened the magicians" as fulfilled, considering that with Fang Zheng’s power, whether or not the magicians’ strength was weakened, they were goners.
In that case, his designing this game would have been pointless.
In fact, the reason Flowers and others could jointly defeat Barthomeloi was partly due to this.
Just that now it seems the system barely considered him passing.
But there’s an extra reward for that, seriously unexpected.
Well then, I’ll reluctantly accept it.
At the thought, Fang Zheng happily reached out and chose "Yes."
Then, suddenly, a light arose from Fang Zheng’s hand, then with a "pop," it dispersed into countless golden, dazzling fragments, like meteors, vanishing into the endless void.
Meanwhile, a brand new system message appeared before Fang Zheng.
[Acquired God of Games Divine Position (Weak Level Divine Power)]
[Released Multiverse Cards]
Multiverse Cards?
Seeing this, Fang Zheng curiously reached out to tap, and soon a brand new interface appeared in front of him. Inside were sets of golden shining card decks, five in total, each with different names: "Heavenly Dao Palace," "Fire Mist World," "Game World," "Mech World," and "Immortal Hero World," "Type Moon World".
Fang Zheng casually swiped open one module and found it contained dozens of different game cards, many of the persons and events were ones he had encountered or experienced before. For example, in the "Fire Mist World" deck, Fang Zheng saw the names "Shana" and "Black Katie." And in the "Immortal Hero World" deck, "Zhao Ling’er" and "Lin Yueru" were also among them, of course, along with the "Witch Queen."
So it’s the real-life version of Gwent?
Glancing over the rules and introduction, Fang Zheng finally understood the situation. These cards are automatically generated, recording the key figures from each world and their feats and skills, spreading these personalities’ reputations even though they have no significant function.
Just an ordinary little game.
Hmm? Wait, what about me?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng’s eyes lit up, and he quickly opened the "Heavenly Dao Palace" deck. Sure enough, in the Leader Card of the Heavenly Dao Palace deck, Fang Zheng immediately saw himself.
"Hmm, I’m indeed still so handsome."
Looking at the card of himself standing with hands behind, overlooking the Heavenly Dao Palace below from a balcony, Fang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and then glanced at his card effect.
[Fang Zheng (Leader Card)]
[Command: Allows ’harem’ attribute units on both sides to enter or exit the field unconditionally, Charge: 3]
At the card information’s bottom is a line of small print—"Only games and beautiful girls must not be let down, King Shurou’s name is well-deserved."
".........."
Seeing this, Fang Zheng’s smile immediately froze.
Damn you, system! Are you messing with me?!
MMP, I’ve always kept this title hidden tight, and you just casually showed it off?!
I’m your real dad!
Damn it, I was too excited about the extra reward just now and forgot to think about why a task that barely passed would still get such a kind extra reward.... Now it’s all over!
By the way, in the "Heavenly Dao Palace" faction, "Red Ponytail" is also a Leader Card, and under her interface, there is also a similarly meaningful comment, "As everyone knows, she has never appeared together with King Shurou."
Seeing this, Fang Zheng really wanted to tear up this card.
Your sister everyone knows! Clearly, nobody knows!
You’re f***ing trying to kill me, aren’t you!
Not only that, Fang Zheng hurriedly checked, and found that the cards with the [Harem] attribute were limited to those he had had intimate relationships with, such as Tilia, Eiriri, Black Cat, Asuna, Kurumi...... and even Little Hei and...... Fate?
Hmm hmm hmm?
Why is Fate included too!
I just kissed her, never went in!
You lousy system, how can you tarnish someone’s innocence out of thin air?!
Luckily, though, the members of Fang Zheng’s harem all know each other very well, so there shouldn’t be any issues with hiding the truth... or so he thought!
Kidding, even if everyone knows each other’s background, it doesn’t mean it should be announced to the whole world! But just now, Fang Zheng saw that almost all the cards with the harem attribute are "Flash Cards," which are high rarity powerful cards, and if it were just a simple game, they would definitely be played!
And now these Multiverse Cards have scattered across various worlds!
Which means, it won’t be long before the whole world... no, five or six worlds will know about his harem relationships!
This is an invasion of privacy!!!
Alas, it’s too late to regret now.
But the good news is, it will probably take some time for people to find these cards, so at least he should be safe for a short while. Of course, if it takes too long... well, who knows.
Regardless, at least for now, it’s safe.
Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Yeah... at least for now.
But Fang Zheng didn’t know that in another world, things weren’t the same.
Vienna, concert hall.
As the sound of the piano gradually subsided, soon, a tidal wave of applause resounded. Kazusa Touma lifted her dress, bowed to the audience, and then turned to leave the stage.
"Well done, Kazusa."
Backstage, looking at her daughter, Yoko Touma gave a gentle smile. Kazusa Touma nodded, not saying a word.
"You’ve really improved a lot over the past year."
"Not too bad..."
Upon hearing her mother’s sentiments, Kazusa Touma softly sighed. She understood what her mother meant, that she had successfully climbed to that stage, and reaching the peak was only a matter of time. Because of this, she increasingly missed the time from a year ago.
In retrospect, it wasn’t a long time, but it left her with indelible memories. Even though after that, SchoolDays band continued to perform, they never played the song "Secret Base" again.
Perhaps, they were still waiting for someone who would never return.
"I’ll call a cab, you go ahead and change."
With that, Yoko Touma left the preparation room, leaving Kazusa Touma alone. She quietly changed her clothes and sent a message to her other bandmates that the performance went smoothly. Then, she turned around... as she picked up her bag, Kazusa’s hand suddenly paused, then she opened the bag and took out a book.
It was an English textbook, somewhat worn, with creases that showed it hadn’t been taken care of. But to Kazusa, it held precious memories.
She picked up the textbook, rolled it up, and lightly tapped her head with it—but at that moment, Kazusa noticed something peculiar fall from the book, slowly dropping to the ground.
What is this?
Curious, Kazusa bent down to pick up the object; it was a card, which had an image of Kazusa on it. However, it was not just an ordinary card, for on it Kazusa was wearing a school uniform, playing the piano in a sunset-lit music room, as if this scene was captured and vividly replayed on the card.
"This is...?"
Kazusa was sure she had never seen anything like this, nor had she seen a moving picture of herself before. This seemed more like something out of a fairy tale or fantasy story. Though she didn’t understand how it came to be, Kazusa was certain that the person depicted on the card playing the piano was indeed her.
Fortunately, Kazusa had experienced the Tenjin Elementary incident, giving her some resilience toward extraordinary occurrences. So she flipped it over, scrutinizing the card before her.
"Kazusa Touma... this is my name? Is this my card? How is this possible..."
Saying this, Kazusa didn’t continue because she saw a line of small print at the bottom of the card.
[She hides her love at the bottom of her heart, expressing it through music]
"......"
Seeing this line of small print, Kazusa slowly closed her eyes.
Tears silently flowed down her cheeks.
