Traveling through Tomorrow's Ark: Starting with a Yama Sword

"What's in this syringe?"

On the way back to the dormitory, Shen Qi kept playing with the syringe that Ines gave him. The dark red liquid inside was slightly viscous and looked very tempting.

"Might as well give me a shot of adrenaline."

[This is much better than adrenaline.]

"Then tell me what this is."

[This is "Darkin Blood", blood extracted from the Darkin. After injection, you can permanently gain some of the Darkin's power.]

"Darkspawn? Isn't that the power among the deer?"

[In this system, existence is reasonable. As long as you have enough merit and complete more tasks, you will become stronger, but you will not be invincible. ]

"Then can I become a disaster-level player?"

[It's difficult because you are so inexperienced. ]

"..."

"system?"

【Here I am. 】

"Can you come to my dorm?"

【I have arrived.】

Shen Qi looked towards the dormitory door in horror. The pair of long white legs had been waiting at the door for a long time.

"Host, you're still walking too slowly." Ines frowned, "What's the matter?"

"Well, I want to check out the system mall."

"Don't you have it on your phone?"

"Recommend something to me." Shen Qi looked at his merits, "After unremitting efforts, I have accumulated merits."

"It's the knocking of the wooden fish."

------------

A female operator with white hair and red eyes boarded the deck of Rhodes Island. The cockroach on her head, no, the horn of the Sarkaz was particularly conspicuous.

"Ms. W, long time no see." Amiya met W on the deck after she had completed her mercenary mission.

"Oh? That's really interesting, little rabbit." W kept a smirk on his face and planned to go back to his seldom-used dormitory to rest.

"Ms. W, please wait a moment." Amiya suddenly grabbed W, as if she had thought of something, "I have a question for you!"

"Oh? Go ahead, little rabbit." Hearing this, W listened to Amiya's question quite seriously - she didn't want to listen to anyone except Amiya and the Doctor.

"Recently, a new operator came to Rhodes Island. It seems that he was recommended by Miss Ines. I have a question. When you were in the Reunion Movement, besides you and Hedley, was there anyone who had a good relationship with Miss Ines?"

After hearing this, W frowned, "Ines had some comrades before, but apart from me and Hedley, there was really no good relationship. And the relationship between Ines and I can't be described as good.

"Then what is the relationship between this guy who appeared out of nowhere and Inès?"

"I'm so sorry to bother you. Have a good rest, Miss W." Amiya didn't ask any more questions.

When W returned to the dormitory to rest, she was confused, but she soon became interested.

"It's interesting that he has a good relationship with Ines." She walked quickly to Ines' dormitory on the fourth floor, "Haha, I want to see who it is."

------------

"Good afternoon, Texas." A beautiful blonde girl with wolf ears sat down next to the Rupert woman in the cafeteria.

"Good afternoon, Kong." Texas replied.

"Texas, I saw a very strange person today!" Sora whispered in Texas' ear, "Today there was an operator I had never seen before, he was staring at you in the cafeteria this morning!"

"Oh, really?" Texas was a little surprised, but his expression did not change.

"And he was grinning at your back, it was really scary! Do you think he has fallen in love with you?"

"I see." Texas put down the cutlery in his hand, "I hope he won't bother me."

"But it's rare for a person to like someone like you."

------------

"A-choo!!!!" Shen Qi suddenly sneezed loudly, successfully shocking Ines next to him.

"Did anyone say something bad about you?"

"I don't know." Shen Qi wiped it with a piece of paper, "Let's take a look at the mall first."

Shen Qi opened the mall and found that the goods were mainly divided into five categories: weapons and equipment, skills/talents, daily necessities, books and others.

"Oh? Are there any books available for purchase?"

"I'm afraid you'll be bored and addicted to your phone, so I prepared some books for you," Inès explained.

Shen Qi clicked on "Books" and saw various books - some of which had not even been published.

"Why are so many of your books published by Xihong City Publishing House?"

"I noticed that you like Xihong City Publishing House, so I put some in for you."

"But I've read all these books. I read this book about infinite deduction in the rules story half a year ago."

"Then you must have read some books you haven't read yet." Inès scrolled down a little. "I remember you haven't read this book, 'Blue Star Online'. You should like it very much."

Shen Qi had indeed not read "Blue Star Online", but he heard from others that the book suited his taste, so he spent 800 merits to buy four copies - the books in the mall are still very affordable.

Then he clicked on "Daily Necessities", and in addition to some basic necessities, he also saw some strange things.

"Why are they selling Esquel gum here?"

"Because you often don't brush your teeth at night." Ines said, "You often have bad breath in the real world, so you are forced to buy a lot of mouthwash to improve it."

Shen Qi was so angry that he couldn't refute. It seemed that the system had figured him out.

Shen Qi spent another 200 merits to buy a bottle of chewing gum, and then clicked on the "Weapons and Equipment" category.

"What kind of weapons are these? Why do they even have ZiBeng?" Shen Qi said, pointing to the "Charge Rifle" that was priced as high as Merit.

"That's a high-level weapon, and you're still at a low level now." Inès remained calm and swiped the screen downwards. "In my opinion, this 'Iron Fist Glove' is quite suitable for you. With the purchase of this, you will be given the opportunity to learn three skills: 'Uppercut', 'Earth-shattering Punch', and 'Heaven-Destroying'."

"This thing looks pretty strong."

"I once had a host who bought this thing. Later, more than a dozen enemies were defeated by it."

Shen Qi spent 7000 merits, and a pair of golden gloves appeared on his hands: "Wow, they are quite heavy."

"This thing has strange powers, don't wear it casually."

Shen Qi nodded and put it on without saying a word.

(Inès: 6)

"Learning the 'uppercut'..."

Shen Qi felt a force flowing into his right arm, it was an unprecedented pleasure.

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

However, a rapid knock on the door interrupted his study process.

Shen Qi went to open the door, but saw an American cockroach with white hair and red eyes. Oh no, it was a Sarkaz standing at the door, staring at him with a smile.

"Who are you?" Although he had recognized W, Shen Qi still pretended not to know him.

"Haha, interesting." W smiled evilly, "I heard that you and Ines knew each other before. I wonder what good things are you two doing here today?"

"Are you crazy? What did I do to you?"

"I am a madman, what can you do to me?" W took out a grenade launcher and pointed it at Shen Qi's forehead.

"W, don't mess around!" Ines shouted from the side, "There are some things you don't know."

"Oh? Inès, I've never seen you so disturbed. It seems that you do have some relationship with this boy."

Ines was speechless for a moment. In order not to expose the identity of the system, she could only gently say two words to Shen Qi:

"Do it."
