Book 6: Chapter 21:1: Root: Chen Heng, Your College Entrance Exams Are About to Start, Part 1
Flat-Chested Chinese: I think I roughly know what erotica are, but you…
Vengeance Witch: Flat-Chested Chinese? Immortal? You must be Fu Hua from Honkai Impact 3rd.
Efreet: Have you played this game?
Vengeance Witch: I played it for a while. The Poké Ball Chen Heng bought for me has many games, including Honkai Impact 3rd.
Vengeance Witch: Speaking of which, I once saw a life-sized Fu Hua body pillow in Chen Heng’s room.
He Who Knows Fate: Wait, Jeanne d’Arc, how did you see it?
Vengeance Witch: I went looking for snacks one day…
Flat-Chested Chinese: So, Chen Heng, you really have a life-sized body pillow of me at home?
He Who Knows Fate: It’s a misunderstanding. I actually got your life-sized body pillow as a part of a gift box I purchased when playing Honkai Impact 3rd…
Vengeance Witch: Speaking of which, the image looks quite…well, you know…
He Who Knows Fate: ..
Flat-Chested Chinese: Have you ever heard of Ki Impact?
[TL Note: Ki Impact is one of Fu Hua’s moves. It’s a punch that deals very high damage.]
He Who Knows Fate: I’m sorry, Immortal Phoenix. I didn’t lie!
Flat-Chested Chinese: …I forgive you.
He Who Knows Fate: Ah! Is this really some kind of omnipotent spell? Immortal Phoenix, I invoke you!
Flat-Chested Chinese: Ki…
He Who Knows Fate: Ah! I’m sorry, I’m really sorry, Immortal. Forgive me again.
Flat-Chested Chinese: …
Magus of Flowers: By the way, Jeanne d’Arc, I forgot to tell you. You can go to the Dimension Administrators Association’s store to compare the prices of a regular Poké Ball (yours) and a Heavy Ball (Fafnir’s Poké Ball). You’ll thank me later.
Administrator He Who Knows Fate muted Magus of Flowers for 30 days.
Efreet: …
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Ah! Although Merlin would not be Merlin if he did not seek trouble, my lesson must have failed since he dared to seek trouble right in front of me.
Vengeance Witch: Poké Ball, that’s the ball that captured me, right? Also, Fafnir’s heavy Poké Ball…
Vengeance Witch: Chen Heng, didn’t you say you would upgrade my Poké Ball as soon as you had the money?
He Who Knows Fate: Hold on. I’ll upgrade it for you now…
Vengeance Witch: No need. I want to see how much money this Poké Ball that captured me is worth.
He Who Knows Fate: …
“Jeanne d’Arc, no matter how much your Poké Ball is worth, remember, it’s a token of my affection,” Chen Heng suddenly exclaimed, grabbing Jeanne d’Arc’s shoulder firmly.
...Are you trying to hide certain information about these Poké Balls?” The clever Jeanne d’Arc suspected something fishy.
Chen Heng did not expect Jeanne d’Arc to suddenly become so smart. After a moment of silence, he decided to change the topic. “…By the way, Luo Li, after you killed the four reincarnators yesterday, did they leave behind any equipment?”
“Don’t change the subject! Tell me what’s going on with this Poké Ball. Never mind, I’ll find out myself if you don’t tell me.”
“The reincarnators didn’t leave anything valuable. Rather, the Host God Space reclaimed their belongings the instant I killed them.”
“That’s it? Even after the reincarnators died, the Host God Space collected the reincarnators’ things? This host god is so stingy. I wonder, which serial number is that host god?” Chen Heng muttered, ignoring Jeanne d’Arc’s protests.
I can’t hear! I can’t hear! I simply can’t hear! No matter what you say, I can’t hear it!
“In reality, the host gods of Host God Space are rather stingy. Of course, there are exceptions; sometimes, a foolish host god gifts items from the portable spatial storage of rule-breaking reincarnators to those who killed them. However, such host gods are rare. At least, after killing so many reincarnators, I haven’t seen any drop. Still, I did keep the four Servant summoning slots. Elder Brother, do you want them?”
Luo Li held out her clenched right hand, and when she opened it, four small beads lay in her palm.
“I don’t want them. They’re no use to me. I’m a Servant; why would I summon Servants? Sirin, do you want them?”
“Me? I don’t want them,” Sirin responded, still sulking, when she heard Chen Heng mention her name. Then she glanced disdainfully at the four beads before returning to her sulking.
“Does no one want these things, then?”
“I do! I do!” Tohsaka Rin, who was sitting on another sofa watching the drama, suddenly raised her hand. You disdain them, but I don’t! Give me! Give them all to me!
Luo Li simply glanced at Tohsaka Rin and ignored her. I’ve already given you a Servant for travel expenses, and you want more? How can there be such a good deal?
“Oh! Right! Luo Li, can you give me those four Servant summoning slots? I just remembered I have a use for them.”
It suddenly occurred to Sirin that if she had these extra 12 Command Spells, even if she could not use the Command Spells of other Servants to control her elder brother, she could spend some points to modify them.
Three Command Spells wouldn’t have much effect on Chen Heng, but what if she used 15 to command him to do one thing, would he…
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: @He Who Knows Fate
He Who Knows Fate: ?? What?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Your college entrance exams are starting soon.
He Who Knows Fate: Huh? Impossible. The college entrance exams are still several days away.
Chen Heng clearly remembered that there were still four days before his exams; otherwise, he wouldn’t have accepted this task to fool around with Yakumo Yukari.
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Do you remember Customer Service telling you about something?
He Who Knows Fate: Customer Service? The thing? You mean the world merger problem?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Yes, yes. Because of the world merger, your world has fast-forwarded! It jumped several days in a flash, so your college entrance exams are soon. What a surprise, right?
He Who Knows Fate: …
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: Choose, choose! Will you continue playing the Holy Grail War or go back for your college entrance exams?
He Who Knows Fate: Isn’t it obvious? Of course, I’ll go back for the college entrance exams. I’ve been studying for them for over a decade. How could I not go? When do the exams officially start?
Self-Centered Elder Sister Shiki: How would I know? I’m not a college entrance exams student, so I haven’t been paying close attention.
He Who Knows Fate: …
He Who Knows Fate: @Flat-Chested Chinese, do you know?
Chen Heng figured that since the world merger had happened, Fu Hua might be in his world. He wasn’t sure if Fu Hua was in Schicksal or China, but what if she was in China?
No one in China would ignore the college entrance exams. Even those unrelated to the exams would pay attention.
Speaking of which, Chen Heng remembered a joke that high school students were protected animals, college entrance exam students were national-level protected animals, but students after the exams became ordinary animals.
Anything involving college entrance exams in China was a big deal.
