A chat group where you switch bodies with Alicia at the start?

Page 223

With things settled at the base, MEI would undoubtedly handle the rest. 'Blue Sparrow' nodded, lazily planning to slip away—perhaps due to the influence of this body, he felt listless when working and longed to slack off...

But the next moment—

The girl's shoulder was then grabbed.

"You wicked Jiang Qiao, shouldn't you explain this person to me?"

The pink-clad girl had a bright smile on her face. She pointed at 'kiana', her smile incredibly radiant.

We finally caught this scoundrel. If we just let him get away like this, wouldn't that be too easy for the wicked Jiang Qiao?

It should be noted that Ms. Fat kept a detailed record of everything, including the delay in her request for help and her going to Eden's concert behind her back.

Moreover—Kana's appearance also revealed another old story that Alicia was unaware of.

That's MEI!

Previously, she only knew that the smart version of Mei who looked just like Mei was someone that the wicked Jiang Qiao had secretly taken from somewhere behind her back. But now, the real Mei has come knocking on her door, earnestly wanting to know where the former had gone... Well, so you're the one who seduced this beautiful girl, and now I, Airi, have to clean up the mess?!

Utterly embarrassed and furious, the fat woman decided to teach this scoundrel a lesson—the only problem being that he was using another girl's body again... If it were his own body! Humph!

"Look, there's a beautiful girl over there."

"where--?!"

Upon hearing this, Ellie, who had been fuming, suddenly looked excitedly in the direction Jiang Qiao was pointing—Eh?

There's nothing at all!

When she turned around, she could see that the chestnut-haired girl who had been standing there had disappeared without a trace. Now the fat lady knew that she had been tricked!

Her pretty face contorted, and Alicia, her teeth clenched, puffed out her cheeks rapidly like an inflatable shoe insole.

"Aaaaaah, you bad Jiang Qiao—!!!"

Alicia: Don't let me catch you! You wicked Jiang Qiao!!!

Playing cards to the death: Uh...

Qingque looked at this strange development with a face full of question marks.

However, speaking of which...

got the wrong person?

Looking at the information in front of Jiang Qiao, Que'er was half-believing and half-doubting.

Is my current body really not the Star Core Hunter Silver Wolf?

She had heard a saying that different worlds might contain the same kind of people, and who knows, there might be another Qingque somewhere, if that's the case.

It's not surprising that people might see the girl in the mirror as someone similar to the wanted cosmic criminal, the Star Core Hunter.

If that's the case—

Great! Now I can slack off without any worries!

Once you've reached an agreement with the body's owner, wouldn't you be free to roam the world?

The only problem is... this doesn't seem to be the Luofu Immortal Ship; there's no one to play the Imperial Jade Cards.

Regarding this dilemma, Jiang Qiao offered some advice.

Jiang Qiao: You can go find Walter's attached image.jpg

As for how to slack off—he remembered that Walter and Siegfried, those two unfortunate brothers, were professionals.

Incidentally, the Bronya is currently docked at Anti-Entropy's Salt Lake Base.

With Bronya in mind that she was diligently studying, sending Seele to Paradise might cause her to lose her motivation. Therefore, for Bronya's sake, Jiang placed Seele at Salt Lake Base.

Since Seele has not yet mastered the power of a Herrscher, and Paradise is not an effective shortcut for her mental and technical growth, it is fine to let her roam freely in the Salt Lake Base.

Unaware of this, Miss Bronya, living in paradise, continued her rigorous training—besides playing games, she now had another source of enjoyment.

Discussing 'game creation' with Vervier.

Games are called the 'ninth art', and magic is also a means of pleasing others. Velvet, who shares a lot in common with Yaya, even splits into a new personality—a game designer.

Combining elements from games from previous civilizations, they are currently developing a game called "Hurrio".

Bronya felt that this game would have a very promising future if it were released to the outside world.

YaYa, who has dreamed of becoming an outstanding game developer after defeating the Honkai, has already begun laying the groundwork for her future.

...

Immortal Boat. Luofu

Having hastily escaped from Alicia's clutches, Jiang Qiao returned to the place that belonged to this body.

For him, this was yet another completely unfamiliar place.

The room was filled with artifacts characteristic of ancient China, and the bathroom looked very retro and backward, but was actually very advanced... 'Qingque' entered and exited with ease, looking at the delicate girl's face in the mirror, which was still wet after washing up.

She tugged at her cheek, a slight smile appearing at the corners of her mouth.

When I went to help Alicia before, I focused more on the power of this body. Now, I am examining it from the perspective of the 'physical body'.

Okay... as always, nothing interesting.

Perhaps because she had used those mechs too much before, 'Blue Sparrow' sighed as she glanced down at them—she really had a special connection with characters who were female.

Having already gotten used to it, Jiang Qiao was too lazy to think about these things anymore.

Close your eyes—adapt to this body. As the compatibility gradually increases, you will be able to access the 'memories' belonging to the owner of this body.

Now he no longer faces the predicament he encountered when using [Alicia]. With the improvement of his 'mastery' ability, Jiang Qiao, who is very familiar with how to control other people's bodies and can even be said to have excellent memory, can directly access the 'memories' belonging to the original owner stored in this body. After all, the 'brain' is where life memories are stored.

Liberating the brain, coordinating the heart, and adjusting the form of consciousness, like dressing to fit the body as closely as possible and become the form of the body, the girl's temperament underwent further changes as she opened her eyes.

If a bluebird were to look at it, it might think it's looking in a mirror.

This lazy, unambitious attitude—isn't that me?

Following the footsteps in her memory, the girl pushed open the door and stepped out. What came into view was a residential area with rows of houses, a region she had never seen in the game. But Jiang Qiao was not surprised. After all, the Luofu Immortal Ship was essentially an interstellar civilization. Its scale was so large that it could house at least several million people. This was because the people of the Immortal Ship were long-lived and did not have a strong desire to reproduce and pass on their lineage.

The scenes in the game are just a miniature version, like the two-word game next door. The real Liyue Harbor and Fontaine are definitely not this size.

However, even though she had already seen the scenery of the immortal ship Luofu from her memories, and even though her body was extremely familiar with this residence, Jiang Qiao, who was theoretically stepping onto this giant starship for the first time, still felt a sense of surprise and unprecedented novelty.

"Di Di~"

A sound came from her pocket, and the girl took out an old-fashioned 'Lingrui' jade tablet from her skirt pocket. She raised an eyebrow when she saw the signature on it—oh ho, the signature was Old Man Taibu.

As expected, upon connecting, Yu Zhao's familiar, angry voice rang out:

"Qingque, what time is it?!"

Hmm—Although Qingque is the type to slack off at work, she's not the type to be late. The original owner of this body was known for being punctual, never working overtime, and always maintaining a stable work ethic.

Now that I've made a trip to a previous civilization, it's not surprising that I'm late.

However... in such a vast institution as the Grand Diviner's Office, for a mere diviner to receive special attention from the Grand Diviner, the head of the office—equivalent to a ministerial-level official—and even have him call him for being late... cough cough, that's quite a level of attention.

I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the old lady, 'Sparrow'. I have decided to work hard in the future to repay her kindness!

Full of enthusiasm, Jiang boarded a civilian starship and headed to Taibusi.

Unfortunately, teleportation is not possible like in the game. Apart from the Earth Balance Division and the Sky Ship Division, the other four divisions and even the Divine Strategy Palace are all independent areas. To enter them, one can only take a star raft.

A wondrous experience: with the morning light emanating from the cave ceiling of the immortal ship, one can clearly see the towering tree in the center of the Luofu Immortal Ship—the Jianmu.

The Taibu Si (太卜司) is located at the highest point of Luofu Cave Heaven, both for the convenience of astrology and divination, and also for better monitoring of the remaining roots of the Jianmu tree.

Riding the star raft, they arrived at the sample platform, which was also the entrance to the Divination Bureau, with ease. 'Bluebird' hurriedly entered and greeted the other fortune tellers she encountered along the way.

"Que'er, how about we go play a couple of rounds at Chang Le Tian after get off work?"

"No."

"Eh--?"

Qingque's card-playing friends and colleagues were puzzled by his polite refusal.

If this were in the past, Little Sparrow would have been perfectly happy to accept the invitation: "Okay~ See you there!"

But today she actually refused! She refused!?

"What happened?"

They all looked puzzled – to get Qingque to give up playing cards, even the end of the world wouldn't be enough, right?

Could it be that the plague of the ancestral spirits has attacked?!

There's been no sign of the Cloud Cavalry making any moves!

"The old lady Taibu is really angry. I think Xiao Que'er probably won't have any free time anymore. She might even have to stuff people into the case files."

"Wow, that's scary? Forget it, I'd better get back to work. This month's workload is unbearable."

"That's right. With this change in trajectory, who knows how many variables have been added? And the old lady Taibu is so strict about the progress, how could it not be... Sigh, I should have found a more relaxed job."

Along the way, pedestrians greeted him proactively—it was clear that Qingque was highly respected among the diviners at the bottom of the Taibu Si (a government office).

Of course, the diviners above didn't really like this young girl who always liked to steal moments of leisure.
