I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

(Advantages: High-value instant boost, strong single-target control, simple trigger conditions, high cost-effectiveness, the best choice in the early game)

(Price: 20 + 200)

(System suggestion: This talent is derived from Whitebeard's temperament and experience. It can make up for the deficiencies in the main character's basic attributes in the early stage, make up for the main character's deterrent power, improve the main character's battlefield dominance and decapitation ability, and perfectly adapt to the combat system.)

[IV. Precautions:]

[After implementing this plan, only 40.5 points will remain for daily expenses.]

[System Solution Suggestion: Accept the suggestion to complete unsettled items and earn settlement points; encourage the freeloading partner - Swire - to give away freebies; make new friends and contact old friends to sign up for more freeloading partners]

Yunyi rested his chin on his hand and read it. He felt that apart from the last suggestion, there was nothing wrong with it overall.

[So, you're speechless now, aren't you?]

The system shook the pop-up window and said smugly.

"You just did what you were capable of doing, right?" Yun Yi retorted calmly, then changed the subject and praised, "However, you did a very good job."

[hey-hey;-)]

"Be normal," Yun Yi muttered, then scrolled through the pop-up window again. After reading it, she pointed to the item related to talent and asked, "Can this offspring collector be used on irrational creatures and items?"

[Yes, but this will prevent the triggering of subsequent random scenarios and thus will not increase the number of children.]

[Therefore, this system suggests that the subject should use the tool on any rational being that is capable of doing so.]

"It really is cost-free." Yun Yi felt that there was no risk involved. The ability to increase attributes many times over with just one sentence was already overpowered enough. "No wonder it's so expensive."

The price required for this talent accounts for more than two-fifths of the total price of all the items in the recommendations.

"You really do get what you pay for," Yun Yi remarked, then asked, "Could you show me the details/videos, display images, or a projector of the actual products?"

[Yes, if the user believes that seeing the actual product makes a better decision, this system can permanently add that decision item.]

"Whatever you want, it's fine with me." Yun Yi laughed, "At worst, I'll just ask every time."

[......]

[Added]

[Exporting document camera projection...]

The pop-up window flashed a few times, and then a series of high-tech-looking streams of light lit up the four corners, followed by several wide-range intersecting beams of light that converged in front of Yun Yi.

As the lamplight distorted and then returned to normal, what appeared first were pocket-shaped dots resembling chess pieces. Initially the size of a palm, they became a phantom taller than a person after being placed.

Next came two Bancho, one big and one small. The big one easily made a high-end-looking car by banging and hammering on a pile of materials, while the small one looked very professional in a butler's uniform.

Next came a titanium gray base with blue patterned decorations, and a large, throne-like chair floating in mid-air; it looked big enough for Yun Yi to lie down on.

The logo of Nirvana-Zaiyu on the seat flashed by, and the seat quickly turned into liquid and rose up, enveloping the simulated Yunyi in the projection and transforming it into a mecha three times the height of a person.

The mecha gradually grew larger and lighter in color, eventually becoming an enormous white behemoth of unknown size. The tiny figures next to it, serving as a benchmark, looked like ants and were completely invisible.

Then it turned into liquid and condensed back to its original size, the difference being that it was surrounded by a gray, hazy, encircling shield.

The shield flickered for a moment and then dissipated. Liquid suddenly sprayed out from both sides of the seat. The liquid solidified in mid-air into the shape of conduits and inserted into the energy pile and metal pile. The two turned gray in an instant, and the somewhat dim seat immediately returned to its brand-new appearance.

The projection Yunyi, seated in the chair, opened the safety cover beside him and pressed the button. The chair quickly melted, part of it adhering to his body and solidifying into a cool-looking exoskeleton combat suit. Another part was molded into long-handled weapons that floated behind the projection Yunyi, and the last part scattered into a dense swarm of railguns like a wasp colony. The projection Yunyi raised the long-handled weapons and pointed them forward, and they linked together to fire swathes of ammunition or lasers at the front, creating mushroom clouds one after another.

After firing a round, Yunyi canceled the projection mode, raised his palm and thrust it in front of him. The gray but iridescent liquid condensed in front of him into a human body with blurred features.

Its body remains liquid, yet it can move freely. In simulated battles, it moves as if it were in an empty field, using superb combat skills, superior attributes, and various tools that suddenly emerge to fight its way from one end to the other.

Ultimately, due to insufficient energy, it turned into liquid and returned to the projection Yunyi's side, shrinking smaller and smaller until it became a gray-blue, stylish collar that was placed around the projection Yunyi's neck.

As suggested by readers, I'd like to find experienced and newbie readers to mutually promote our books. Hopefully, someone will see this!

The expert who sent me a private message replied; I'll try pushing it out tonight.

The product images in this chapter have been moved to the image gallery; you can view them there if you are interested.

New author, new book! Please add to your favorites, leave comments, and give me some money! O(∩_∩)O!

I, Kikyo, the Sage of Gensokyo

It's also an Orange (橘子) novel, and it's written very delicately. The atmosphere, the environment, and the dynamic scenes during battles are all excellent.

The contrast between the protagonist's personality and that of Kikyo from the original work is also very interesting; it feels like a celestial being walking among mortals has been imbued with human emotions.

The narrative has a clear pace, and you can clearly perceive the protagonist's actions and how she is integrating into this world.

Then came the dialogue, which was well-paced and the content felt very much in line with my understanding of the character's personality (or perhaps it was because it felt natural, which made it seem reasonable to me).

That's a general overview of the book. If you're interested, you can try reading a sample.

Volume 2: Fireworks at Dragon Gate Chapter 15 Help! How long has this fighting gone on over there?!

The holographic projection eventually faded away on the high-tech collar.

Yun Yi blinked his slightly dry eyes, which were still a little dry from being so engrossed in watching, and his expression still showed lingering excitement.

"That chair looks really nice!" That chair called Nirvana or something.

[Of course, these are all products that have been rigorously selected by our system.]

The system said proudly.

"Amazing, you truly deserve it!" Yun Yi gave a thumbs up; she was never stingy with praise for others' strengths.

[Haha, it's nothing.] The system wavered in its reluctance, mimicking a human cough as it awkwardly changed the subject: [So, has the main character decided yet? How about configuring a set of products for themselves now?]

"Of course I want it." Yun Yi slumped back into the sofa and said wistfully, "Putting aside the cool mecha, just those fantastic abilities alone are worth buying in advance."

[Will this system place the order for the main entity?]

"Place the order!" Yun Yi clenched his fist excitedly, unable to wait any longer.

[System purchase in progress... Points deducted. Non-biological items have been automatically added to your inventory and equipment slots based on the specific circumstances. Biological items are being generated...]

As the system announced its instructions methodically, the futuristic, skin-friendly collar gently wrapped around Yun Yi's neck, around his Adam's apple.

Yun Yi touched it; it felt wonderful, even more so than the finest jade she had ever touched in her previous life.

Because of this comfort, Yunyi's fingertips lingered on the collar for a long time, until the little animal's soft chirping came.

Yun Yi looked up and realized that, without her noticing, two cartoon-like yellow chicks, round, bouncy, and somewhat fluffy, were already standing in front of her.

Seeing her looking over, it waved its two wings, which only had pointed tips, to greet her.

Yun Yi inexplicably understood what the two meant: Manjiu-001/Manjiu-002 at your service! Good morning, Commander.

[The life purchased in the mall is directly related to the subject, and the subject can understand its meaning in real time, regardless of the other party's race or mode of expression.] The system provides timely prompts.

"I see." Yun Yi raised an eyebrow and joked, "You reminded me just in time, System. You weren't watching me the whole time, were you?"

[Instead of complaining about something that's perfectly reasonable, the main body should take care of its own affairs first. Besides, this system doesn't want to keep staring at the main body all the time.] The system said helplessly.

The problem is that He can't help but look; except in special circumstances, the system's built-in perspective will never leave the subject.

Fortunately, the main theme is so appealing that it can be entertaining.

The system, which was already somewhat "bored," was thankful within the program.

For Yunyi, the system was almost a compromise.

Yun Yi was in a great mood. With a smile, she continued to communicate with the Manjiu: "Hello, I am Yun Yi, Yun as in wind and clouds, Yi as in leisure and tranquility. Would you like to give yourselves a name? What will you call me from now on?"

Upon hearing this, the smaller chick, which was only half the height of its calf, raised its tiny paw hidden under its round body and chirped as if reporting, "Chirp chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp, you have to do well, do a lot, and be recognized by the team to get a name!"

The larger one, about the height of a person, chirped in response, "We need five, a whole team, to evaluate. Commander, call 002 first."

“001!” Little 001 Manjiu immediately responded with his own name.

The sound of Manjiu is very interesting. Although the pitch is not high and the chirping is not noisy, it is cute and lively, making it hard to dislike.

Yun Yi found the terms agreeable and respected the customs of their race, so he didn't dwell on issues like human rights and readily accepted both titles.

001, a housekeeper who excels at all household chores.

002, a mechanic with maxed-out hands-on skills.

For now, they will be called by this name.

Both of them looked very happy, and even stretched out their small and cute wings to clap with each other in celebration.

After Yunyi waited for them to calm down, he assigned them the tasks he had thought of before seeing the suggestion pop-up: "001, please clean this place up. The area... for now, this coffee shop. I'll arrange it later."

"Chirp!" 001 responded happily, conjuring up a suitable broom out of thin air and raising it high above its head to show its determination to complete the task to the best of its ability.

002 silently looked at Yun Yi, her small black eyes sparkling with clear expectation.

"002, could you please take a look at this? This is called a terminal here. I hope you can figure out a way to turn it into a fully functional mobile phone." Yun Yi did not disappoint 002's expectations. She reached out and took out the previously discarded terminal, and solemnly placed it on 002's raised wing.

Yun Yi then realized that the other person was ridiculously large, definitely not just taller than a person—at least a head taller than her.

"Chirp?" 002 took the terminal. Although happy, it remained rational and immediately asked for specific requirements: Yun Yi's words were still too vague. Moreover, there was no research funding, location, or phase goals. It was impossible to start the project.

“Hmm…” Yun Yi scratched his head, pondered for a moment and then came up with an idea: “Then you should study the terminal’s social platform first.”

"We aim to create a proper chat application that allows video calls, text chat, voice input, and adding friends. We might also like to add a few fun mini-games."

002 hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, looking quite pleased.

Looking at it, Yunyi suddenly remembered: the terminal's technological content didn't seem to be very high, while Manjiu liked to delve into things he liked.

Low-value items wouldn't be considered by Manju as something he'd be forced to do for the sake of the Commander, right?

Without hesitation, Yun Yi raised his hand and touched the collar around his neck with his fingers. After transmitting his thoughts into it, a drop of gray, luminous liquid precipitated out, expanded, and finally formed a high-tech cold weapon (?) resembling a horse-slaying sword.

She gently touched the end of the weapon and placed it on 002's other wing, soothingly saying, "I'll trouble you to study the terminal; this weapon is for you to study."

These words sound like a devilish line saying, "You've worked hard, and this pile of work is for you too," but judging from 002's increasingly radiant smile, they might be an angelic line to it.

Yun Yi looked at 002's cartoonish, cute and bright smiling face and suddenly hallucinated Swire with a smug smile.

It makes you smile knowingly too.

Speaking of which, isn't Manju's hair color similar to Swire's hair color?

To be precise, they are very different.

The fur on Manjiu's body is mostly light yellow, like the downy feathers of a chick or duck.

Swire's hair is ginger-yellow, which is both bright (in light) and dark (in dim light) than ordinary yellow.

For example, at this very moment, Swire ducked to avoid the bullets, the strong wind whipping her long, curly hair, which shone brightly and gleamed almost golden in the sunlight, before being pulled gracefully downwards by gravity.

As she swung the chain hammer, using the impact to bounce out of the encirclement, the momentum clung to her blood-stained body. The part of her long, flowing hair that had been blocked from the sunlight returned to its ancient, dark tone, even darker, looking like a sweet, caramel-colored brocade.

As she landed, she strode forward, pulled back the chain hammer, and let the sharp blade slice through the enemy's body. Her long, curly hair, trembling and bouncing from the exertion of her full strength, swayed in the wind, revealing its rustic, ginger-yellow color.

I, Kikyo, the Sage of Gensokyo

Orange Text, Smooth

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen - Chapter Sixteen: Eat Me!

A gust of wind swept across the ends of her hair, and amidst the flying strands, Swire's gaze remained calm and cold, reflecting the enemy who was once again pursuing and surrounding her.

Amidst the hail of bullets, Swire once again skillfully jumped and rolled backward, but this time, her goal was no longer simply to dodge, but to get closer to the thick wall.

With meticulously designed movements and keen insight into flaws, Swire used the momentum of a weapon clash to flip and fly backwards in the instant sparks flew. What others considered a huge mistake, Swire successfully relied on his instincts and landed on the wall as if it were flat ground.

The moment her heel struck the wall, Swire's gaze, like lava piercing an iceberg, erupted with an astonishingly cold, piercing intensity, followed by a smoldering, murderous intent. At that moment, her body unleashed unprecedented potential.

With a sudden, almost tangible sense of oppression, Swire, like a cannonball exploding, shattered the wall beneath her with a deafening roar and hurtled down at high speed towards the enemies in the opposite direction.
