Opposite the 141 Convenience Store in Sixth Street, New Eridu.
“You mean, I have transmigrated?” Akari looked at the scene before her, feeling somewhat surprised in her heart, especially after seeing the Pink-haired Girl standing in front of her who was less than 30cm tall and holding a mini laptop, she found it even more unbelievable.
She suspected that she was dreaming right now.
“Indeed, congratulations to the host for transmigrating to zenless zone zero~” The Pink-haired Girl blinked, her eyes revealing a liveliness and a trace of craftiness.
“You must be joking…
Although I play zenless zone zero, a matter like transmigration is still very hard to believe…” At this moment, Akari stood in place, somewhat dazed.
Whether it was the wind blowing past the street, the passing pedestrians, or the pedestrians sizing her up with curious gazes.
Afterwards, they hurried past her side once more.
All these feelings were real.
The voices of the pedestrians, the three small Bangboo of the 141 Convenience Store, and even the entire Sixth Street were all real.
“Then what are you?
Could it be, like the protagonists in novels, a portable system elder?” Looking at the Pink-haired Girl before her, Akari pondered for a moment before asking.
She asked this to indirectly verify whether she had truly transmigrated and wasn’t just daydreaming.
“That’s right~ I am your portable system, except I am no elder, I’m still a little kid~” Hearing this, the Pink-haired Girl made no defense, simply acknowledging her identity after deliberately emphasizing her age.
As a system, her duty was to help the chosen host complete every task issued in this world.
As for how many tasks there were, what they were, and what should be done, those weren’t things a system like her should care about.
Her duty was only to assist the host in completing the tasks.
“Next, please claim the host’s first task~” “Task Content: As the chosen protagonist, the child of destiny second to none in the world, please register an account on the Inter-Knot, build up your reputation, and become a trustworthy Proxy of the Inter-Knot!” “Requirement: Complete at least three commissions.” “Reward: Absolute Resistance.
After possessing this ability, you can completely ignore all erosion effects brought by the Hollow.” After listening to the Pink-haired Girl’s words, Akari first steadied her mind and readily accepted this task.
“Come on, since I’ve already transmigrated, it wouldn’t be unacceptable even if other unreasonable things happen.” After Akari accepted the task, she suddenly and surprisingly discovered that a task progress bar had appeared before her eyes.
That progress bar was just like the objective progress bar the game sets for you when you play an online game; however much of the task you complete, the progress bar advances correspondingly.
“Um…
It’s not that I’m being greedy, I just wanted to ask, I don’t have anything right now…” “Could you…
give some beginner packs or something?” After accepting the task, Akari spoke somewhat apprehensively.
She found that after transmigrating to this world, she didn’t have a single penny on her, and at the same time, she knew nothing about everything here.
Barring any accidents, living normally here would be very difficult.
Even if she went to work a part-time job, wages wouldn’t be paid for several days.
If she really waited until payday, she estimated she would have starved and fainted by the roadside long ago.
“Ahem, in order to highlight this system’s humanitarian care, and to manifest the host’s identity as the child of destiny, this system temporarily decides to grant the host the basic items required for the task.” The Pink-haired Girl smiled slightly and snapped her fingers.
Before long, a tablet appeared in Akari’s hand.
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rewards: Tablet x1, 3000 dennies, New Eridu legal household registration.” The tablet in Akari’s hand beeped.
Tapping to open the screen, it was impressively the message that the 3000 dennies had arrived in her account.
Following closely behind was the information that the legal household registration had been successfully processed.
In other words, Akari was no longer an unregistered person, and transformed overnight into a legal citizen of this metropolis.
“Hehe, dear host, given that the task of becoming a Proxy is overly difficult, as the task progress advances, there will be other rewards given to the host later~” “As for what the rewards are, please look forward to it~” Having said this, the Pink-haired Girl disappeared without even turning her head.
Facing this quirky and somewhat strange Pink-haired Girl, Akari didn’t know what to say.
At least, what this girl said was not false.
She was indeed a system, or possessed a similar ability, able to conjure many things out of thin air for Akari, whether it was the common currency in this world or those special abilities.
And these things were extremely precious to ordinary people.
Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a time.
Akari thought to herself.
She strolled casually down the street, ate a bowl of ramen, and then opened the tablet given to her by the Pink-haired Girl.
The tablet ran very fast, looking like a new model, and quickly logged onto the Inter-Knot.
After registering her account, she originally wanted to directly register to become a Proxy, but was told by the platform that she had to complete identity verification and pass a license assessment before she could officially register.
Now, this stumped the clueless Akari.
She was not an Agent after all, and did not have such strong strength.
Similarly, she didn’t know those Agents.
To pass the license assessment, complete identity verification, and register as a Proxy, she had to have a professional Agent.
And Agents were usually in a cooperative relationship with Proxies.
Agents provided force and other ways to solve problems.
While Proxies were responsible for navigating for the Agents.
Having a reliable partner was an indispensable key to becoming a Proxy.
“Ding~ Detected that the system task progress is advancing, has the host run into any trouble?” As if sensing Akari’s resentment, the Pink-haired Girl appeared in a timely manner, looking at the other person with a playful smile.
“Tell me, where on earth am I supposed to find an Agent…?” Akari grabbed her hair, inexplicably feeling like crying without tears.
She didn’t know any Agents, nor did she have cooperative partners; the only thing she had might be foreknowledge of the world and the plot.
Without proof, those Agents she knew in the game definitely wouldn’t trust her.
It seemed this was the most troublesome matter right now.
“As a qualified Proxy, how can one rely solely on Agents to complete battles?” “Congratulations to the host for obtaining the rewards: Defense Force ace-level combat power (to be reclaimed after task completion), navigation Bangboo x1, radish data x1 (to be reclaimed after task completion).” “Now, please begin your license assessment~” The Pink-haired Girl tossed a Bangboo to Akari, and at the same time handed her the system-customized radish data.
In just an instant, Akari’s body felt as if it had been kneaded to pieces and then reassembled by an invisible giant hand; that powerful force within her body, along with countless combat skills that did not belong to her, instantly flooded her mind.
She could feel that those were the techniques honed through countless life-and-death struggles in combat by a veteran soldier of many years.
