Chapter 01 Chapter 1
"Have you heard? She insisted on pestering Senior Wen and chased him all the way to the Divine Tower, only to encounter a wild beast..."
"I heard that she was attacked by a wild beast and suffered a second-level trauma, and her mental strength dropped to D level."
"She deserves it. She's not worthy of someone like Senior Wen."
The sound of whispers reached her ears, but Xuanyin walked across the corridor without changing her expression and returned to her single dormitory.
But as soon as she closed the door, her calm expression could no longer be maintained and she held her head which was in excruciating pain.
She didn't expect that she would be so unlucky. She had just retired from the fast-travel world and hadn't enjoyed her retirement life yet when she was dragged to a new world. As soon as she traveled through time, she was on the rooftop and this body was about to jump off the building!
She immediately came down from the edge of the rooftop and returned to the dormitory following her vague memories. Based on the gossip she heard along the way, she roughly knew that the original person committed suicide because of a man.
Is this another quest to get revenge on a jerk? Or is it some kind of love quest?
There was a flash of impatience in Xuanyin's eyes. She was very unhappy with the practice of forcing retired people to continue working as workhorses.
【Mythical show-off system, bound to you.】
[Host Name: Xuanyin]
[Current Plane: God's Descend to the Star Realm]
A mechanical sound suddenly rang out, and Xuanyin was startled: "System?"
[Yes, I am the Myth Show-Off System, and you are my chosen host. As long as you complete the mission, you will not only receive generous rewards, but also fulfill one of your wishes and send you back to your original world!]
A ball of light lit up in front of Xuanyin, flashing with some excitement.
Xuanyin looked at the ball of light and raised her eyebrows slightly. She had seen many systems before, but this kind of rhetoric to coax newcomers... Didn't this system know her own background?
Realizing that things might not be what she thought, she said, "Tell me more about it."
A joke about the mythical show-off system. How can this person be so calm?
It coughed and said seriously
[The plane you are currently in once hosted a powerful deity who single-handedly changed the world. Although he is no longer with us, his legacy remains.]
This plane possesses a terrifying enemy called the Mad Beast. They possess immense destructive power, and even if they are slain, they transform into incorporeal Nightmare Beasts. Nightmare Beasts can slip through dimensional fissures, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, feeding on human psychic energy. Only divine power can completely destroy them.
Therefore, the people of the star will use the method of "possessing gods" to become the appearance of "gods" and use the power of "gods" to fight against such enemies.
But the awkward thing is, there's a cultural gap here, and the inhabitants have no idea what a god is. They rely on the power of mechas, animals, plants, insects, and even conjure up all sorts of images. The gods of other planes couldn't stand this, so they created me to teach these country bumpkins about this.
Xuanyin's mouth twitched slightly. It was no wonder that other gods couldn't stand it when a god possessed an insect. The reputation of the gods was damaged!
"Why did you choose me as your host?"
[This is a coincidence. I originally chose the original owner, but she only had men on her mind and had lost the will to live. She had no desire to complete the mission and even wanted to commit suicide, even though I told her that she could win back through me.]
Love sickness is scarier than a virus. I was afraid I'd be infected, so I didn't force her. I found you, a single woman from birth, who is a perfect match for this body.
“…” There’s no need to emphasize that I’ve been single since birth.
"What about the original body?"
【I sent her to a world without men to continue living.】
Xuanyin: ...Okay.
This system is probably a bit petty.
But the truth has finally been revealed. She asked why she was dragged into this world when she was fine. It seems that it was not the quick travel or the bureau's tricks, but the system that caused trouble.
If you think about it, you can understand it. She used to be a fast-travel missioner, and her soul fluctuations are quite different from those of ordinary people. It is indeed easy to be captured by these systems. It is also her fault that she forgot to set up a protection for herself.
Since she is here, she might as well make the best of it. She found that after coming here, her strength was suppressed extremely severely. Even if she wanted to leave, she couldn't do so for the time being. Besides, this myth-showing mission seemed quite interesting.
Just think of it as another retirement vacation.
She wanted to tease the newbie system a little bit, and showed a skeptical and expectant expression: "If I complete the task, can I have any wish?"
The newbie system was full of confidence: "Of course!"
Xuanyin: "What if I want to go back to a time in the past, or even bring someone who died long ago back to life?"
System: "This isn't difficult!"
Xuanyin's smile faltered slightly as she carefully examined the ball of light before her: "Really?"
"Of course it's true! I'm a mythical show-off system. All that comes in and out is divine power. Under divine power, everything is possible!"
Xuanyin only felt that her long-silent heartbeat began to accelerate, but she quickly suppressed it.
She had completed so many tasks but still couldn't fulfill this wish. Finally, she became frustrated and chose to retire. If only this system could help her realize this wish...
What's wrong with being its host for once?
She smiled and said, "Okay, what do you need me to do?"
[Newbie Mission: Design a mythical character and earn the astonishing praise of one thousand people, earning one thousand Bragging Points.]
Xuanyin was about to ask for details when something like a watch flashed on the table.
This is an interstellar optical computer.
She picked up the laptop and pressed something, and a screen popped up.
He was a young man with rose-gold hair, exuding a non-mainstream vibe.
He held his chin high and said arrogantly, "Cheng Xuanyin, you haven't forgotten our bet, have you? The competition registration closes in five hours. Are you ready? If you lose to me, you will be expelled immediately."
A memory flooded into Xuanyin's mind. The other person was called Cheng Ziqi. They were both from a big family, the Cheng family, and should be considered cousins by blood.
However, the original body was lost when he was young. In order to find her, his father died unexpectedly and his mother fell ill. His only brother had to shoulder the burden of the family, and their family fell into poverty.
The vacant opportunity was seized by Cheng Ziqi's father, and his branch rose rapidly and became an important branch of the family.
Three years ago, the lost original owner was found, but she was out of tune with the entire family. Except for her mother who felt sorry for her, no one in the Cheng family welcomed her back, and even her only brother was indifferent to her.
Especially Cheng Ziqi, who disliked the original body the most. The original body was lagging behind in academic progress. Although he was two years older than Cheng Ziqi, he went to the same university as Cheng Ziqi. Cheng Ziqi targeted the original body in various ways at school. The reason behind this was not only because she felt that the original body's return had brought shame to the Cheng family, but also because of a man.
Sure enough, Cheng Ziqi looked at her with disdain, and suddenly smiled: "Just hold on, you're going to be kicked out of school soon. Stay away from Brother Wen from now on, he's going to be my brother-in-law!"
The man named Wen Yan is the eldest son of the Wen family. He has S-level mental power and a bright future. He and the original body were engaged when they were young because of an agreement made by the older generation.
Over the years, Wen Yan had long fallen in love with Cheng Ziqi's elder sister, the talented national girl Cheng Zixin. However, the return of his original body forced him to fulfill his marriage, and he naturally hated his original body.
However, the original body had received help from Wen Yan before being adopted and returned home, and had developed a deep affection for him.
In order to impress him, she kept getting closer to him and even chased him to the divine tower. Unfortunately, she was attacked by a wild beast, causing damage to her mental strength, which directly gave the Wen family an excuse to cancel the engagement.
From the beginning to the end, no one around them knew that they were an engaged couple. They just thought that the original owner was being persistent and that Wen Yan should be with Cheng Zixin.
That's what we call a talented man and a beautiful woman, made for each other.
Now that the marriage has been called off, the classmates around me are still mocking me, and my spirit is already shaky.
He also saw the photo of Wen Yan nervously hugging Cheng Zixin to protect her when the wild beast attacked that day.
When his life was in danger, his lover was hugging another woman tightly. This blow directly led to his suicide.
Xuanyin shook her head, which was swollen and painful due to mental trauma, and stopped thinking about these messy things.
She threw the laptop on the table and calmly recalled the content of the bet with Cheng Ziqi.
They bet on designing a brand new divine garment and entering a designer competition. Whoever gets the highest ranking at the end will win.
Here we need to mention the general background of possessing gods.
Because the people here don't know what God looks like, they either draw on images and mecha weapons that exist in nature or create their own.
I don’t know what God looks like, hey, I’ll create one!
For thousands of years, the images of "gods" have been varied, abstract, bizarre, some beautiful, and some quite eye-catching. In many cases, it doesn't matter whether they are beautiful or not, as long as they can exert their combat effectiveness.
People who do this are called "godly clothing designers".
The divine clothing is not a piece of clothing, but an image, a model, a design of a "god".
If a design plan passes the review, it will be sent to the "God Maker" who will make the "God Clothes", and then the "God Possession Master" will put on the "God Clothes" to complete the final "transformation".
Whether it is "creating a god" or "attaching a god", it must be certified in the God Tower. Only after certification by the God Tower can the internal driving logic of this divine clothing be truly supplemented and the divine power can be borrowed.
The entire production process is extremely complex and tedious. As a creative provider, the value created by designers is both important and insignificant.
There are millions of designers in the galaxy, and the number of designs produced each year is a huge number, but only one in ten thousand can be turned into a finished product.
Even so, this profession is still very popular.
The original body was in this major, as was Cheng Ziqi. Moreover, they both studied the god-making major and planned to develop into god-makers in the future.
The bet was made a week ago. At that time, the original body had not been injured yet and had also prepared some things.
Thinking about the things her original body had prepared, Xuanyin moved out a box.
It doesn’t matter whether she drops out or not, Xuanyin has no plans to continue studying this school, but this competition is very popular and can serve as a platform for her to complete her task.
However, considering that some people in the Cheng family dislike her, in order to prevent anyone from causing trouble, it is best not to participate in the competition with her real name.
After opening the box and seeing what was inside, she suddenly fell silent.
What the hell is this tattered cloth and material board? Even the paint is either black, gray, or a deadly color like rich purple.
This is not something the original owner prepared, it must have been replaced by someone else.
It seems that there are many people who want the original body to lose the bet and leave.
She looked at her savings, which were in the double digits, and had no money to buy new materials.
"System, designing mythological characters, is it up to me?"
Yes, as long as it doesn't deviate too much from the characters and each character has distinct characteristics, it's fine. After all, there are many versions of mythology, and the appearance of the gods themselves often changes. No one would look the same for tens of thousands of years.
I get it. Anyway, as long as it serves the purpose of showing off, that's all that matters.
After looking around at the existing materials in the room, she had an idea. It was unrealistic to use these things to make models or something, so she decided to use them to "dress up" herself.
She herself is the best showcase, and it just so happens that in a certain world, she was a special effects makeup artist. Makeup and clothing are inseparable, and she knows a little about them. She even studied clothing design and production, and her skills are pretty good.
As for making molds, sculpting, and coloring, these are the special effects makeup artists' expertise.
After thinking about this, she picked up the laptop again.
As soon as I went online, an advertising portal popped up. After entering, I was at the official website of the competition, which said "Registration is now open for the Federal Divine Clothing Designer Competition."
Checked out the entry format.
To be considered a design work, it must first have a complete appearance.
If it is a human image, it can be made into a model. If it is similar to a human image, it can be made into a model or displayed on a mannequin.
This will be presented to the public in the form of a video.
The second thing is to clarify the power logic of this magical garment, what role it can play and why, this is for the judges to see.
For example, a giant python robe, after being possessed by a spirit, the spirit possessor will transform it into a snake tail. Because the giant python has such and such abilities, the spirit possessor can also obtain such and such abilities.
For example, a mecha divine clothing, after being possessed by a god, the god-possessed master will directly turn into a mecha. Because of the material the divine clothing is made of and the mental and physical strength of the god-possessed master himself, the mecha can exert greater capabilities and withstand more damage.
The logic behind this needs to be written very clearly.
Of course, not all works need to clearly state this logic, because every year there are several super-concept divine clothes that are certified by the Divine Tower.
After all, the act of possessing a spirit is unscientific in itself, and whether one can pass the certification depends at least 30% on luck.
Of course, if you design a sea god robe, saying that this robe can turn the possessed master into the sea and directly drown all enemies, it will definitely not be approved and will not pass the manual review.
After Xuanyin understood this, she had only one feeling: this was completely the opposite.
You want to borrow the power of God, but you keep running in the direction of science and nature. It would be strange if you could borrow much power from God.
The power of God is magic power, which is exerted through spells and magic tools.
The god of this dimension left a road to heaven for his people, presumably to protect them. As long as they created a decent image of the god, they should be able to easily borrow divine power.
But now, the versions are incompatible!
The medium for borrowing power is too unsuitable, God says I can’t carry it either!
Xuanyin sighed a little.
There is not much information about this ancient god on the Internet. He seems to be related to the god of earth. It should be easier to borrow power from mythological figures in this regard.
Soon, a character popped up in Xuanyin's mind.
The power of the earth, the essence of stone, and the shade of death Barbie purple.
