Why are your QQ and WeChat names so weird?” Luo Shengying asked, staring curiously at the QQ page displayed on her phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you not outgrown your middle-school otaku phase yet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nine days remained until New Year’s Eve; during this time, Luo Shengying and Su Lin trained daily, striving to restore their strength and prove themselves before their past selves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin, having just finished correcting timeline errors for his past self and uploaded a trashy video, walked over, removed the red-green wig from his head, and tapped his screen twice to post it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t my ID just the handsome male lead of a modern urban novel?” Su Lin smiled, leaning his head closer. “And how am I the otaku, my heroine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The QQ number was correct—Su Lin wouldn’t forget something so basic. He himself had given Luo Shengying the number and told her to try adding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his past self too well: possessing a system but powerless to use it, willing to abandon dignity for transcendence, yet still forced to labor for daily survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path to transcendence lay right before him—visible, touchable, yet unattainable. Which system-based protagonist, after a year with a system, still worked as a salary slave? The crushing disparity gradually plunged his past self into anxiety and impatience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially when he groveled on construction sites by day and unleashed fury online by night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d been warned repeatedly by moderators, accused of plagiarism countless times. Had he not pre-planned to funnel all online earnings into charity, suddenly turning his reputation around and riding the wave of publicity, he might never have broken past the 100-point mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, the real estate market was sluggish, and by year-end, he faced delayed payments and unpaid wages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his lowest moment, Su Lin’s eyes grew clouded by the lure of desire—he thought only of taking off, taking off, taking off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the past had changed slightly, as long as it was Su Lin, he’d absolutely adore beautiful girls! Let Luo Shengying add him under the guise of a distant relative, then let him personally initiate an online romance—hey, he’d even get the color of his underwear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whose QQ is this?” Su Lin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yours,” Luo Shengying replied, glancing at him as if to say, You forgot your own account?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is my ID ‘Light God, Golden Core Stage’? What even is this?” Future Su Lin triple-checked the QQ number—it was correct—but the avatar wasn’t the cartoon image of a bricklayer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of Frankenstein monster is this? Why don’t you just spit fire?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he going for the visual effects route?” Future Su Lin stroked his chin. The avatar showed himself with radiant wings sprouting from his back, standing mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Visual effects, videos, viral!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It struck him like lightning—he understood. His past self had become a visual effects artist, pursuing a premium, high-end path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin: “Kiss her! You coward! Kiss her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin’s outburst had its reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When thinking of healing, Lu Mingfei immediately recalled the ultimate Western fantasy powerhouse—the Light God.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when he thought of the Light God, he naturally thought of his closest brother, Dora—no, Su Lin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning the situation, Su Lin glanced at Wei Gong Shilang frantically arranging materials, dumped his own tasks onto the furious Old Tang, then turned into a streak of light and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark clouds obscured the sun; though it was morning, everything was dim, requiring indoor lights to see clearly. The hotel’s bright orange lighting somehow felt unexpectedly warm in this gloom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Mingfei soothed Hui Liyi as she changed clothes and ate breakfast. Hui Liyi was in low spirits—she’d eaten only one bento and two rice balls, like a student facing the first morning back at school after vacation: reluctant to leave home, wary of the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving a reply, Lu Mingfei led Hui Liyi down the emergency staircase, pried open the locked iron door, and carried an umbrella to the rooftop to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the storm, the flimsy umbrella flipped instantly. Lu Mingfei had no choice but to generate a spherical barrier with spiritual energy, enclosing both himself and Hui Liyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a luminous figure, indistinct in form and face, appeared in the distant sky, its back adorned with six wings composed of light particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hui Liyi, don’t be afraid,” Lu Mingfei grasped her small hand. “He’s here to help us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin scanned the target area from above, watching the two figures huddled tightly in the rain. He took a photo with his phone as a keepsake. For some reason, he suddenly recalled the magical girl Lu Mingfei he’d observed earlier with the Great Expansion Pearl—what if two beautiful girls were cuddling right now…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head, clearing the distraction. It seemed the side effects of Tian Wang were nonexistent at the Golden Core stage—zero effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spread his arms, and countless light elements rose around him like fireflies converging into a river, surging toward the dark clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Sacred Spell: Path of Redemption】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ninth-Rank Spell: Light Barrier】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knowledge and power granted by the Light God’s divine essence were instantly and fully integrated—no clumsiness, no hesitation. After Su Lin’s historical projection merged with the divine essence, he had already mastered every property and application of the Light Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wished, he could even develop new spells himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, he found the optimal solution to the problem of bloodline instability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain ceased. A massive beam of light pierced through the black wall of clouds, descending directly onto the building where Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi stood, its diameter perfectly covering the entire structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light was not blinding, only warm and bright. The black veins on Hui Liyi’s hands gradually faded, invisible to the naked eye. The physical damage caused by her bloodline was repaired, blocked vessels cleared, and depleted life energy replenished. In the microscopic world, light elements formed a net-like structure, precisely separating dragon blood from human blood, while simultaneously constructing a microscopic barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was only temporary. Hui Shangyi’s problem lay in unstable bloodline integration. Though a magical barrier had been erected, any use of her power would shatter the boundary, allowing dragon blood to resume its corrosion—yet after the spell’s repair, her body should now resist far better than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many solutions existed: the Dragon King’s blessing, the Cassell Academy’s Nibelungen Project. If all else failed, Su Lin had his own methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if possible, Su Lin preferred Lu Mingfei to accomplish it himself. Time was not urgent—this was something Lu Mingfei could achieve quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Liyi joyfully sensed the changes in her body and pulled out her slightly damp notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Sakura is amazing! Is that angel your friend?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm,” Lu Mingfei nodded shyly. It wasn’t his strength—it was the guy flying above. But face mattered now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Liyi hugged Lu Mingfei tightly. If this was true, she could go out more places with Sakura, wouldn’t have to go home, and could stay with Sakura forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forever\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Liyi lifted her head to look at Lu Mingfei’s flushed face. She remembered the man in the monocle she’d met in the park:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『When both want to stay together forever, and every day together brings joy—that’s a couple.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hui Liyi gazed at Lu Mingfei, wondering: Am I really Sakura’s girlfriend? But no—it required both to want to stay together forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let go of Lu Mingfei and wrote on her notebook:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Hui Liyi wants to stay with Sakura forever. Does Sakura want to stay with Hui Liyi forever?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, nervously, she gripped the corner of Lu Mingfei’s shirt, afraid he’d run away, her eyes filled with hopeful expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above, Su Lin, watching the scene, instantly felt exhilarated and unleashed a citywide 【Fifth-Rank Light Spell: Radiant Feathers】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gentle feathers of light drifted slowly from the sky, like warm snow. In the entire city shrouded in clouds, only the rooftop glowed with sunlight, where Lu Mingfei stood frozen, staring at the girl before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every muscle tensed, palms drenched in sweat, mind utterly blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They stared at each other. Stared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin: “Do you have any idea how exhausting it is to run effects? @Lu Mingfei”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin: “Kiss her, you coward!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin: “I wish I could pin your head to hers and wrap it with duct tape! I’m hanging up here as the backdrop, using a Sacred Spell to heal you and creating this atmosphere—do something, you useless lump!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin: “You had your chance and blew it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin: “Kiss her! Coward! Three minutes already! Kiss her!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add this chapter’s 10,500 characters—it counts as five updates, right? Hahaha. Goodnight (crawled into bed)\u003C\u002Fp>",1448,"2026-06-20T04:17:29.700Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","3a68a8c16525515242dd178f68b070aec348ff10ab3e53fdad3e6e2fbd856522","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-114","i-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-chapter-112",720,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-the-system-protagonist-joined-a-cross-dimensio-cover.jpg"]
