107 Be prepared for whatever is coming (1/2)

Xiao Chun Dan exhales. ”Are you serious this time?”

”I am serious.” Huang Qiuyan nods her head. ”I want to become his equal. I also want to protect everything that is precious to him.”

It's for that vampire king. Xiao Chun Dan pouts. He's the one who met her first. He saved her. He kept her soul in that body. Why are the vampire king and his things becoming more important to her? A host should care about the system first. Just like, the system always prioritizes the host. She calls him a family, but other people are more important to her. She even told the vampire king about him. Hmph!

”Elder sister, you see.” Xiao Chun Dan begins, ”I have been analyzing you. Even if I have installed basic fighting skills in your mind, you aren't mentally prepared and your body and you are not physically strong enough to deal with the vampire-zombies. So, I suggest that you concentrate on your magic and long-range attacks.”

Several statistical graphs appear before her eyes. Huang Qiuyan is bad at many things, but she's is somewhat okay with numbers. She studied statistics in the university and she used to work in a bank too. She squints her eyes and analyzes the progress graphs. According to the system, her progress has been slow. Since she's his first and last host, he doesn't have any past data. He is using the general data from the Inter-Dimensional Archive. To summarize, her agility is good, but her survival instincts are mediocre. In close range fights, she's 40% slower than other hosts. The long-range fights haven't been tested yet. The magic level is also at level 1 (Beginner).

She stares at him.

”Don't look at me like that.” Xiao Chun Dan shrugs. ”But, you have magic. You are better than 89% of hosts. There are systems who are compatible with magic that help their hosts improve at a faster rate. I was built for humans, but I am reconfiguring myself as you are levelling up.”

He sighs and adds, ”If you stay stuck at a level, I can't do much for you when it comes to magic. I can analyze the basic magic, but when it is the higher level magic that people like Fu Sheng and Sung Na-Mi use, I get incorrect analyzation results. Elder Sister, it's dangerous for you if you do not become stronger. You are lucky that you can use magic when other converts can't. Then, there's the bond. When magic is such a big part in your life, you should take the path of magic. If you don't make efforts, you will be someone who needs protection.”

Though he would also choose safety first, there's no growth if they hide inside the castle. His host needs to grow and become stronger. Then, he can also level up and progress. He wants the inter-dimensional world to know that he's the best system in all the worlds. Perhaps, he can teach those System Developers a lesson for building systems like him and abandoning them at any time when the systems outlive their usefulness.

”He might be able to help you.” Xiao Chun Dan has a good impression of Jin. He does find him unrealistic and ethereal. But, all purebloods are strange to some extent. ”But, your magic is different from the purebloods' magic. You got it from the enchanted wooden arrow which is actually Fae's magic. The nature of enchanted wooden weapons is quite mysterious. We don't have points to buy good books or skills related to Fae. There's one more thing that I have noticed recently.”

”What is it?” She asks him with worry.

”Your magic grew when you resolved your heart conflict last time.” Xiao Chun Dan wonders how much his host's psychological state affects the magic inside her. ”There's something else. It's better if I show it.”

She gives him a stiff nod.

In her mind, a screen pops up. It shows her a video of a dark green energy cloud that keeps changing its shape, disappearing and reappearing at different spots. Then, there's another neon green energy that seems to be chasing that dark green ball around. The two are playing hide and seek. In the chase, the neon green energy captures the dark green cloud once or twice. Each time that happens, the dark green cloud becomes smaller and slower.
