Honkai Impact 3rd, what should an ordinary player do at the start?

Unlike previous civilizations where, unless on the verge of collapse, one could prolong their existence by siding with various kind-hearted individuals, in this era, the probability of using precognitive abilities to gain personal advantage is...

--zero.

—Complete zero.

Because of Otto, a guy who is utterly devious and treats human life as worthless, there is absolutely no possibility of anything happening.

Go to Aponia and kneel down to beg her not to impose any rules on you; in most cases, you will not be subject to any rules.

However, doing this to Otto would not work at all.

The weaker you are, the more the other party will think you are easy to bully.

The tougher you are, the more likely the other party will think you are out of their control and will attack you as fiercely as they would attack Siegfried.

Even Siegfried, a true member of the Chosen Ones with impeccable credentials, and Cecilia, who was equally loyal to him, would have been blasted away by Otto with missiles simply because he displayed slightly more power. It was only by sacrificing Cecilia's last bit of strength that he was saved.

Siegfried's daughter, Kiana, went on to conduct all sorts of experiments without restraint, creating hundreds of clones.

The so-called beloved Theresa always gets to eat her fill in any slightly important place.

Human lives are just a number to him. He was willing to rescue Sirin twice during the Second Honkai Impact to get what he wanted, which led to the deaths of hundreds of millions of people. If it weren't for the large amount of relics left by the previous civilization, plus the outburst of those heroes at the time, humanity might have been mostly destroyed back then.

Twisting the mind and altering the will are also the most common methods. In his hands, the human self has no nobility whatsoever; it is nothing more than a plaything, a piece of mud on the ground.

This guy has no shame whatsoever; he'll use anyone who can be exploited, even threatening Joyce with the safety of the city.

Alternatively, one could forge an identity for Kiana after she loses her memory, turning the girl whose family she personally destroyed into one of her most capable subordinates.

But this guy acted so well that no one knew what he was really like, so much so that the Valkyries trusted Otto so much that contacting any of them was a dangerous act.

Jiang Cheng is just an ordinary person, not a hero. He just wants to survive in this garbage world. He seems to disregard the consequences and tries his best to struggle and solve the life-and-death crisis in front of him.

However, the final target might be Otto.

The knowledge of the future might be given to Otto.

Do not……

No.

This was the only one that was rejected immediately upon being conceived, even faster than Cocolia's rejection.

Leaving aside whether he would have already been turned into a wet object or a plaything that no longer had a sense of self, the fact that Otto, now knowing about a wider world, would create such a big project was enough reason not to submit the paperwork.

Otto's previous experiments were terrifying enough. Each one was extremely dangerous, and each time everything was saved thanks to external factors he was completely unaware of and the hero's desperate efforts. In the end, however, he insisted on taking the credit for himself.

If this guy knew the future, the whole world would probably be easily ruined, and I wouldn't have any future to speak of.

As for entropy reversal...

Jiang Cheng didn't even have much time to think about it.

She simply stared quietly at her fingertips, noticing the lines visibly spreading downwards, her body aching so badly she was straining desperately.

The taut muscles even caused the bones to creak and groan under the strain. The body, which was already teetering on the brink of sub-health, became even more fragile. With just a slight grip on the wrist, one could crush and trample these delicate bones into countless dry, messy fragments.

Sensing this pain that I cannot adapt to, yet must adapt to.

"Mr. Jiang Cheng..."

"What you said before about my father."

……

……

The sudden sound stopped the useless actions and thoughts, and at the same time awakened previous memories.

Ok……

I remembered.

In the end, he punched those guys and dragged Mei away, but not as a hero saving a damsel in distress, but to survive.

Even if staying by her side would mean dying quickly, there's no difference between suffering for several months and dying in a few days. On the contrary, you can do many things by utilizing Mei's special abilities.

Some answers are still needed, such as how he used the information about Ryoma to take her away, otherwise an ordinary person would never be able to take away a sword saint.

You don't need to say too much; just appropriately mention your guilt and offer some valuable information, such as...

"—I'm dying."

……

Chapter 3 Reveals My Female Body: I'm Not a Pervert!

What do you mean?

In those deep purple eyes filled with astonishment, the unfamiliar boy raised his right hand and pointed to the lines that had spread to his wrist—a bizarre sight that seemed to corrode and melt the skin layer by layer, so grotesque that just one glance was enough to make one close their eyes in disgust and turn away.

Incomprehensible.

Incomprehensible.

The scene before my eyes felt completely detached from reality.

Neither the scene before my eyes nor everything that happened to me could be understood.

but…

but…

but…

Both reason and instinct are urging me to close my eyes, not to try to confirm, not to see what's about to happen.

It was too terrifying. The rotting and decay slowly spreading before my eyes was more despairing than any disease described in books.

It was entirely because of their initial encounter, because of what happened at the very beginning, that the girl named Raiden Mei forced herself not to look away.

He—the stranger who had pulled him over—was staring at him, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"because of you."

"Thunder and Lightning Meiyi."

……

……

……

Perhaps it was because the confirmation in those words was too heavy, or perhaps it was simply because their initial encounter had left enough trust, but there was no blame or denial. Instead of the negative emotions that would normally arise when someone is accused of having a contagious disease, Raiden Mei checked her body, frantically searching for any possible source of infection.

No.

Absolutely not.

The skin was still as fair and soft as ever, and there was no pain or decay on the body.

"No need to look. You are the chosen one, unlike ordinary people like me who would die easily. The energy emanating from you is proof of your excellence."

excellent?

……I?

"As someone with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), I think this scene should be enough to prove something. Of course, if it's not enough, I can also give some other information, such as your father being defeated by Cocolia and locked in a cage, and you being a bomb that is about to blow up Changkong City."

what?

How did he know I was Chinese...?

Raiden Mei suppressed the urge to complain and began to observe everything before her—staring at the excessively pale skin, the stiff, puppet-like expression, and the slowly spreading decay on the hands whose sleeves she had pulled open.

Even ignoring everything else, that expression alone, and those disgusting scars that make you want to vomit, are enough to make him play the role of a major villain in a tokusatsu film.

"I know a lot. The knowledge in my mind is something that the rulers of this world would do everything in their power to acquire once they knew it."

"You said that I can choose the only person I can choose before I die, so I don't want to hide anything from you."

Jiang Cheng's expression was so stiff that he looked like a dead man, with his tightly furrowed brows and twitching lips never pausing even when he was speaking.

"What do you mean? How do you know these things?"

"What are you referring to as 'father' and 'me'—a bomb?"

Even though everything before her was horrifying enough, the top student girl did not immediately give her her trust.

ask,

Gaze.

His eyes, gleaming with lightning, observed as much as he could while remaining polite, without shifting his gaze even as he asked questions, as if trying to find any possible clues.

"of course."

Jiang Cheng calmly accepted the girl's question.

He calmly responded to the gaze etched in my incomprehensible eyes.

I don't understand what you mean by saying that this kind of thing is acceptable and permissible.

The sleeves were rolled up further, revealing more of the skin on the arms, including the purple branding that had spread to the wrists and the deeper, pale normal skin that had clearly not been exposed to the sun for a long time.

Unlike before, he didn't forcibly drag Raiden Mei along, talking as they walked to gain speed—that would have been too intimate, and their strength wouldn't have allowed it.

That's all.

He just stared at Raiden Mei like that.

I met those sorrowful eyes that, even to this day, are still burdened by the evil within human nature.

There was no sharpness to be found in the future Herrscher of Thunder; besides sorrow, there was only a faint gentleness.

strangeness……

Whom is the gentleness directed at?

"What proof do you have..." Raiden Mei still seemed doubtful and uneasy.

“I don’t have that much time to waste. Just because I rescued you from being bullied by her, I only have a few months left to live.”

Jiang Cheng stiffly raised his right hand. "Miss Mei, you don't really think this world is some normal, peaceful place, do you?"

"Don't tell me you have no sense of what's special about your family—the Raiden family."

……

……

……

Is our family special?

—It is the 玐衫溜鸠铃"器疚~捂扒qun的。

To say that one has no knowledge of this is definitely a lie.

The father's status was so high that it was impossible to confirm, his wealth was inexplicable, and his technology, which was clearly ahead of its time, would always be revealed unintentionally. Including the family's swordsmanship, which was also beyond the limits of human beings. (Part 3) Another 9 weapons I have taken from the limit of the species.

Raiden Mei still remembers the huge iron pillar she chopped down with a single blow when she received her Mastery certificate—a goal made of solid steel.

Even the Olympic athletes you see on TV can't do something like that.

It was like something out of a comic book or novel, which even made me addicted to comics for a while.

She believed that she had inherited some special bloodline, or that something extremely evil was sealed within her body, which was the only way to possess superhuman power. It wasn't until her father's strict guidance, which required her to focus on her studies, that she gradually put these thoughts aside.

But these alone are not enough to prove anything.

That's not enough to prove that he is a bomb.

Even so, recalling their initial encounter, the girl was still willing to listen attentively to the words of this person who might be even more delusional than herself.

"That's why I really hate starting as an ordinary person. I'm just an ordinary person to begin with..." Jiang Cheng seemed to realize from his dazed gaze that his ordinary-level rhetoric skills were not enough to gain trust, and could only sigh.

"November 4."

"172cm."

"50kg."

"89/62/90".

He uttered several seemingly random numbers one after another. When the third set of numbers appeared, Raiden Mei couldn't help but take a step back. After hearing the fourth number, her instinct for danger involuntarily crept up her back. Her slender fingertips couldn't help but pull down on her skirt, and her other hand was tightly covering her chest.

The gaze that had been fixed on the boy once more was now devoid of its previous softness and gentleness, replaced by a fleeting look of terror.
