The Light Chaser-I Personal Mecha.
Cool appearance, powerful functions, and it was personally developed by Herta.
Such a gorgeous and powerful personal mecha would definitely be priceless on the open market; you couldn't necessarily buy it even if you had the money.
But now... Herta was just giving it to him directly?
The overly wonderful reality made Chu Ze start to suspect that he was dreaming.
He reached out and pinched his thigh hard.
But there was no pain at all.
"It really is a dream. Pinching my thigh doesn't even hurt," Chu Ze muttered.
Herta's smile slowly faded:
"Of course it doesn't hurt you, because you're pinching my thigh!"
"Ah, is that so?"
Chu Ze quickly withdrew his hand:
"Sorry, sorry, I was wondering why the texture felt a bit off..."
Taking a deep breath to calm his fluctuating emotions, Chu Ze looked at Herta again: "So, what's the price? What do I have to give to get this mecha?"
Herta blinked: "There's no price. I told you, it's a free gift."
"...Really free? No other conditions, like selling a kidney or giving some blood?"
"What would I do with your kidney? Stop overthinking it and just accept it. Consider it a gift for our reunion as old friends."
Herta put on a very generous expression:
"Anyway, no one is using it, and it's just sitting here idle. It's not a waste of my talent for it to fall into your hands."
Chu Ze stared blankly at Herta.
His eyes flickered with a rich and complex emotion.
Just by meeting his gaze, Herta immediately saw the immense emotion brewing in Chu Ze.
...Huh, is he about to confess?
...Because he's so moved, he's planning to push the relationship forward with the atmosphere?
Herta was just about to raise her hand to refuse when she saw Chu Ze suddenly fly up and, like a bear rubbing against a tree, cling tightly to her long, black-stockinged leg:
"Godmother!!!"
"...Huh?"
Seeing Herta's stunned expression, Chu Ze, while clinging tightly to her leg, began to chant:
"I have drifted for half my life, only regretting that I have not met a wise master! If you do not despise me, Ze is willing to acknowledge you as my godmother!"
Herta finally reacted and quickly reached out to hold his head:
"Hey, get off me, stand up straight!"
Chu Ze still clung tightly to the leg before him, as if he had grasped the future and refused to let go:
"Godmother above! From now on, your son will follow you! I will go through fire and water, without hesitation!"
"So let go of me already! You're a grown man, still acting like you did when you were little. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Godmother's teachings are correct!"
"Stop just shouting slogans! And stop rubbing, you're going to rub my stockings off!"
And just as the two were pulling and tugging, the office door suddenly opened, and Asta rushed in anxiously:
"Ms. Herta, I heard a fierce commotion here. Could it be an enemy inva... sion..."
Asta: "..."
Herta: "..."
Looking at the two of them, one standing and one squatting in a clinging posture, especially with Chu Ze's face pressed against Herta's stockings, after a brief silence, Asta silently backed out and closed the door again:
"I'm sorry, I've disturbed you. Please continue..."
Click.
The door closed again.
Herta looked at Chu Ze with a blank expression:
"...Is there anything else you want to say?"
The corner of Chu Ze's mouth twitched:
"Hey, Godmother, can we reconcile?"
What answered him was the young woman's highly raised staff.
And so, the sound of muscles being beaten, accompanied by Tom Cat-style screams, came from the office...
...
...
After a while of fooling around, the two of them finally stopped.
Considering that Asta had seen the previous scene, Chu Ze took the initiative to offer to help clarify their relationship.
But Herta didn't care about these things at all, and Asta wasn't the type to gossip.
Compared to these small matters, she was clearly more concerned about the Simulated Universe.
"Although your body has a big problem, with the power of the God of Fun, it won't break down for a while."
"So while there's still time, hurry up and get into the Simulated Universe and let me test you thoroughly."
The Light Chaser-I mecha still had details that needed to be optimized.
Herta planned to work a little overtime tonight, rush the work, and hand him the finished product as soon as possible.
So, while they both had time, she of course had to seize the opportunity to collect data for the Simulated Universe.
Chu Ze patted his magnificent chest: "No problem, this body of mine is yours. You can test it however you want."
"Very good, you're on the right track."
Leading Chu Ze to the entrance of the Simulated Universe, Herta gave a brief introduction:
"This is my Simulated Universe. Once it's activated, a virtual world is formed in an instant. And when connected to a Path, even a virtual Aeon has a chance to cast a glance..."
Chu Ze: "zzz... zzz..."
"Don't fall asleep, hey!"
Herta tapped Chu Ze on the head: "Are you that averse to knowledge? You fell asleep after just a few sentences?"
Chu Ze said helplessly: "These principles are too advanced. Even after being a secretary for a while, I'm still confused."
"You just need to tell me what to do and when to throw a punch."
Herta sighed helplessly:
"Alright, to put it simply, you will enter the Simulated Universe as a virtual spiritual image."
"In it, you will constantly make choices: either communicate with people or fight to the end. Just clear it and you'll be fine."
Speaking of fighting, Chu Ze's spirit was lifted:
"So it's fighting all the way through. You should have said so earlier."
"Compared to using my mouth or my brain, I'm still better at communicating with my fists."
So he directly ignored the option of event communication.
Herta looked at him helplessly.
If she had known, she would have persuaded him to read more books when he was a child, so he wouldn't have turned into such a big idiot.
"Anyway, let's set an identity first."
"After entering the Simulated Universe, you can simulate with the image of [Akivili, the Aeon of Trailblaze], or you can descend personally with [your own] image."
Operating on the Simulated Universe terminal screen, Herta gave Chu Ze two choices:
"If you use Akivili's image, you will be more easily noticed by the Aeons and experience various blessings more easily."
"But if you just want to experience combat, of course, your own image is more convenient."
Faced with two choices, Chu Ze didn't make a decision on his own but looked at Herta: "Sis Ta, what do you think?"
"I'll watch while sitting."
Herta said nonchalantly:
"You don't need to consider my feelings. No matter which image you choose, it will be helpful to my research and allow me to collect your personal data."
"So follow your own heart and make a choice you won't regret."
Since she put it that way, Chu Ze's choice, of course, was without hesitation:
"Then I'll use my own identity. Akivili's image can be left for Stelle... for the person who comes after."
"Okay."
The image was selected.
The data was downloaded.
At Herta's signal, Chu Ze walked straight into the circle of light.
"When you first enter the Simulated Universe, you will definitely be noticed by at least one Aeon and obtain their exclusive blessing type."
"In rare cases, you will attract the attention of two or three Aeons at the same time... but this situation is very rare."
Herta's voice came from his ear:
"Since it's your first time, the operating logic of the Simulated Universe won't have any major divergences, and I won't have any high hopes for you."
"So follow your own thoughts and rush forward as you please. Just treat it as a beginner's tutorial."
Her voice fell.
The consciousness upload was complete.
Chu Ze only felt a blur before his eyes. The next moment, he arrived in a dark space.
...
...
And then, he was a little stunned.
Because the scene before him was so shocking that he stood there, not moving his legs for a long time.
Herta didn't immediately prompt him either.
Because even she herself had never seen such a situation before.
After a few seconds, Chu Ze, who had come to his senses, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and said silently in his heart:
"Sis Ta, I think I've been noticed by the Aeons."
"And not by one or two... but by a full seven Aeons staring at me at the same time."
"How do I solve this? Waiting online, it's urgent."
