The familiar streets, the familiar city.
It was as if all his previous experiences were nothing but a dream.
“Holy crap!
This young man!” The orange vendor next to him exclaimed, he had some impression of this joking young man before, but in a blink of an eye, this young man looked like he had been to war, his clothes torn with a big hole, and covered in blood.
“Young man, are you performing magic here?
This outfit, it’s really something!
It looks like you took a hard hit.”
Looks like?
I really did take a hit!
Kai thought to himself.
It’s good that I’m still alive!
To say he wasn’t afraid of death was impossible, wasn’t that just being stubborn?
Besides, he was a person with a system after all.
Grave Digger, you little rascal, just you wait, I’ll get my revenge on you later.
“Boss, you go rest!
I just fell!”
“Heh!
You’re out of oranges, aren’t you?
How about another two catties?”
“Next time for sure!”
On the virtual interface that only Kai could see, the system displayed that it was charging.
So Kai quickly went home to take a shower first.
Finally, he returned home and cleaned himself up.
Looking at the military boots from the Nikke world he was wearing and his torn, bloody clothes, Kai knew that his previous experience of traveling between worlds was not fake.
“Phew~, it’s been almost two months, hasn’t it!
Acting proper has really stifled me!”
He had lived with Dorothy and the others in the Nikke world for two months.
Although the food was mediocre, it was very healthy.
Plus, the system must have strengthened his body, as Kai had developed some muscles.
“System?
Are you fully charged?”
“Booting up —”
“Welcome, Commander, to this system.
This system was developed and sponsored by fellow enthusiasts and powerful figures across all worlds.”
“It’s good to see you again, Commander.”
“Hello, Doro!” Kai was very happy to see Doro again.
He was still wondering how he would spend 100 years.
“Doro, why did you shut down earlier?
And now that I’m back in the real world, you can charge again?
Was it not possible in the Nikke world?”
“This system was developed by a powerful being from the original world, and you are the first test player.
I anchored the world coordinates of the game you played and then bound you to participate in the system test.”
“The Nikke world’s level is too low, so the system’s automatic charging is slow, requiring 100 years after the main storyline begins to collect enough energy.”
“As the system is in the testing phase, many functions are not yet complete.
Thank you for your understanding.
And thank you for your participation.”
Doro is bad!
It just sent me to the Nikke world without even asking if I agreed.
Although Kai would definitely have agreed.
“Doro, what were you testing?
You only sent me back after I was already taken out.”
“—”
“We were testing the world-traveling function.
Commander’s first world travel was a success.”
So I’ve become a guinea pig for some big shot?
“By the way, Doro, is the original world you mentioned the real world?”
“Yes.
The original world is the highest-level world; all other worlds were born because of it.
Doro’s developer came from the original world and ventured into all worlds.
Many powerful beings have emerged from the original world.
Keep up the good work, Commander.”
“Doro, when can I return to the Nikke world?
The one I stayed in.”
“Once Doro is fully charged, you will be able to travel between worlds again.
It is estimated to be another 24 hours.
Note: Due to the vast difference in world levels, approximately 100 years will have passed in the Nikke world.”
100 years?
Although Kai was just an ordinary person, he really wanted to build a paradise with Dorothy and the others.
“Doro, can’t it be faster?”
“The energy replenished in 24 hours is already the minimum requirement for world travel.”
Well, there’s nothing he could do.
Doro was clearly an experimental system that some big shot was practicing with.
Although it was a bit dangerous, if Kai didn’t do it, plenty of others would!
“So, Doro, what functions do you have?
You said earlier that I had to wait for the game to start; you weren’t lying to me, were you?!”
Doro was startled.
How did Commander know?
It had almost only world-traveling and some basic functions before.
It had even used its own energy to strengthen Commander’s body, which was why it shut down so quickly.
But this time, back in the original world, the developer had already patched it!
“Basic functions are as follows:”
“[Attributes] [Cultivation] [Quests] [Shop]”
“[Attributes]”
“Kai: The one chosen by the cute Doro, a rookie Commander in the Nikke world.”
“Stamina: 300”
“Attack: 66”
“Defense: 200”
“(Note: The average level for a normal person in these three attributes is 100.
A Level 1 Mass-Produced Nikkes’s stamina is approximately 20000, attack is approximately 400, and defense is approximately 200)”
“[Cultivation]”
“Nikkes can be cultivated, and Nikkes can be controlled in battle.
Currently out of service area.
Please wait for signal connection —”
“[Quests]”
“The system’s test quest has been completed.
Please claim your reward as soon as possible!”
“[Shop]”
“Purchase items with the currency of the current world.
Occasionally there will be good things.”
“Items:”
“Authentic Guizhou Maotai Liquor 53% ABV Sauce-Flavor 500ml (Increases Nikke’s attack by 10% for 5 minutes after consumption, reduces hit rate by 50%), Price: 1000RMB;”
“Mysterious Commander Kai’s Childhood Photo Album (Increases carrier Nikke’s critical rate by 10%, attack by 10%, reduces stamina cap by 10%), Price: 250RMB;”
“White Rabbit Creamy Candy 5kg (Increases Nikke’s attack by 5% for 2 minutes after consumption), Price: 100RMB.”
“!!!” Kai couldn’t hold back.
He could understand the Maotai liquor and the candy, but why were there photos of him as a child?
And a photo album!
“Doro!
Where did you get my photos?
And a photo album!” Kai questioned, this was too embarrassing!
“Doro is upright and honest!
Purchased at a high price from an unnamed elder of the Lin family.”
“Alright, alright!
I’ll see what tricks you’re playing!” Kai waved his hand, spending 1350 yuan to clear out the items. The source of this chapter is g.com.
Aside from his embarrassing photo album, the other items were very useful.
With special effects, they absolutely had to be bought, and they also made very good gifts.
However, Kai felt it was a bit too coincidental; these few items were the favorites of that trio.
But his own photos were impossible to give away!
Absolutely not!
Not easily— Kai flipped through the photos, feeling they were alright, no large-scale ones!
It was good that his photos in open-crotch pants hadn’t been sold!
Then he remembered that he still had the system test reward to claim!
So he quickly clicked on the reward.
“[Quest Reward]”
“Mysterious Light: A mysterious light sponsored by an unknown powerful figure.
Perhaps it can be used at a critical moment.”
A dazzling ball of light appeared in Kai’s hand.
Speaking of light, he would naturally think of that cosmic underworld organization.
Could the powerful figure be involved with that?
He hoped the powerful figure would give him some strength!
But how to preserve it?
That was a problem.
The ball of light seemed to hear Kai’s thoughts, floated to the position of his heart, and then disappeared into it.
Kai could feel its presence, its warmth.
Doro’s functions were pretty much sorted out, and Kai was very satisfied.
The future was promising!
“Alright, Doro, you go charge up properly!
I’ll make some preparations!”
“Okay, Commander.”
So he went to the game forum to consult the experts.
“Silly Cat: Brothers, if I were to travel to the Nikke world tomorrow, what should I prepare?
Waiting online, it’s quite urgent.”
The post was sent, awaiting replies from netizens.
Soon, a netizen replied.
“Silly Roe Deer: Brother, take more goji berries!
Otherwise, you’ll become a ‘thin dog’!”
“Silly Cat replied: Brother, am I that kind of person?”
After Kai replied, he felt like he wasn’t a very proper person, after all.
He could consider it.
He made a note of it in his small notebook.
“Strong and Powerful Old Ancestor Ye: Feed Snow White until she’s full!
Little Snow White only eats bugs or mice, what a good girl she is!
She still has to reclaim the Surface for the Commander.
She really, I’m so touched I could cry!”
“Silly Cat replied: Received!
I will definitely feed Snow White until she’s plump!”
Kai thought to himself, he couldn’t bring much food ingredients, and it would be useless if he couldn’t find Snow White.
But he could bring recipes!
He’d find the ingredients in the Ark.
Even if this Commander had to steal or rob from the Ark, he would make Snow White gain a few pounds!
Recipes, noted in the notebook.
“Zhuǎn Xián: Dorothy is quite pitiful.
It would be great if she could be a little happier.”
“Silly Cat replied: Received!”
Kai thought to himself, Dorothy wouldn’t lose everything like before now, and he seemed to have already achieved that.
So, he’d prepare a Doro doll!
He daringly wrote it down in his notebook, wondering what Dorothy’s expression would be when she saw Doro.
Just thinking about what would happen in the future made Kai want to laugh.
Of course, he could spoil a bit: his smile at that time would completely vanish; he wouldn’t be able to laugh at all.
So, in the time that followed, he prepared all the useful things that netizens had replied with, and then he just waited for the Doro system to fully charge.
