Opening the Champagne

“And the most crucial point is, each star you ascend, your emotion value will increase by a fixed 10%.

For example, if you are a one-star Emo-user, your emotion value will never be below 10%.

If you’re a five-star, it will never be below 50%.”

Xu Nian noticed the key point.

“Does this mean that the higher the star level, the easier it is to raise the emotion value to the maximum?”

Each star increases by a fixed 10%, so eight stars would be 80%.

Wouldn’t nine stars be in a constant state of rampaging, and ten stars…?

“Of course, but don’t overthink it too much.

Don’t be too ambitious.

Think about things at your current stage.

The higher the star level, the harder it is to increase.

Plus, not obtaining a suitable emotion core will also stall the star ascension process.”

Chen Qiu chuckled.

“There’s a lot of competitive pressure within the organization.

Every emotion core needs to be handed in, and then the cores are distributed based on merit.

Some people may not get a core even if they’ve met the star ascension requirements.”

“So, it’s best to focus on the present.”

Xu Nian and Su Qingya nodded to each other, both understanding what he meant.

This is one of the less appealing aspects of joining the organization: you need to earn merit to get promotion opportunities, and the higher the level, the greater the competition, since there are more monks than gruel.

That’s why some protagonists in later stories choose to go solo.

They gain freedom from restrictions and increase their chances of promotion.

But in the early stages, Xu Nian felt that she still needed to grow under the organization’s protection.

Chen Qiu went on to tell Xu Nian and Su Qingya about other matters.

As expected of a crash course.

After a day of lectures, Xu Nian understood most of it, but didn’t have a deep understanding of anything.

After explaining the key points, Chen Qiu planned to copy the PPT to Xu Nian and Su Qingya, asking them to review it at home and call if they had any questions.

Before they knew it, it was afternoon.

“Let’s sign a contract.”

Xiao Ge came over with four contracts at the right time, handing out two to each of them.

“This is?”

“One is the employment contract for reserve members, and the other is the commitment guarantee for using the Emo-gear embryo.

You can take a closer look.”

The employment contract didn’t have any issues; it was a standard contract.

However, Xu Nian carefully reviewed the Emo-gear embryo guarantee.

“The Emo-gear cultivated during one’s lifetime is at their disposal, but they don’t have ownership, only the right to use it.

After death, the Emo-gear must be handed over to the state?”

“Yes, the higher-ups will properly allocate your Emo-gear after your sacrifice, using it to support other teams in combating Fluxbeasts.

Your Confinement Death Spirit Lantern, for example, also had an original owner.”

Xiao Ge didn’t say much more.

The fact that the Death Spirit Lantern ended up in Xu Nian’s hands was enough to show that the original owner of the Emo-gear had already sacrificed themself.

Xu Nian didn’t think this was a domineering clause.

In a way, it was a legacy unique to the Enforcers.

The accumulation of countless Enforcers fighting Fluxbeasts to protect their homes and country would become the weapons for later generations to defend themselves and the nation.

This would make the country strong, the people live in peace and prosperity, and the survival rate of later Enforcers would greatly increase.

Xu Nian didn’t hesitate and signed her name on it.

Seeing that there were no issues, Xiao Ge brought over two boxes, giving one to each of them.

“Let’s try it out.

Use your energy to activate it.

It will transform into your ideal form.

Don’t worry, Emo-gear grows with its owner.

The stronger you are, the stronger your innate Emo-gear will be.”

Xu Nian nodded, placing her hand on the box without any extra movements.

She simply put her hand on the box, followed her heart, and poured the so-called emotional power into it.

Instantly, the box began to deform, turning into a folding fan.

A deep red light flashed across it.

“S-rank Emo-gear!”

Chen Qiu, who hadn’t left, couldn’t help but exclaim!

He had caught the fleeting flash of light.

His face was filled with shock that was hard to dispel.

“Oh my god, the strongest known Emo-gear aptitude is S-rank.
I didn’t expect you, little girl, to awaken one just like that! Our team really struck gold!”

“S-rank?”

“Oh, Emo-gear also has aptitude classifications.

The stronger the aptitude, the stronger the ability at the corresponding star level.

You have to know that the appearance of an S-rank Emo-gear is one in ten thousand!”

Chen Qiu seemed very excited.

Xu Nian could even sense joy energy from him.

It was as if he was the one who had awakened the S-rank Emo-gear.

Of course, Xu Nian herself was also very happy.

Na na na~

This is the treatment a transmigrator should have.

She just didn’t know what the function of this folding fan was.

Xu Nian held the fan and waved it, but didn’t feel any information popping into her eyes, nor did it show any special abilities.

“You have to develop the functions of Emo-gear yourself.

Do you know why the Confinement Death Spirit Lantern’s ability is confinement?”

Seeing Xu Nian’s blank look, Xiao Ge asked.

“Um~ maybe?

She’s very timid, so she plans to be a support?”

Xu Nian said tentatively.

“No, it’s because that person’s frontal combat ability was already strong enough.

Igniting the Death Spirit Lantern could help her seal the enemy’s movements for better frontal kills, so this Emo-gear has the confinement function.”

“Ah, this…”

Xu Nian really hadn’t expected that.

“So, the right ability is the most important.

Emo-gear is ultimately just an auxiliary tool, not a very special, life-bound, and unique weapon.

Well, when you’re done developing it, remember to record the ability.

We need to archive and upload it, and also give this Emo-gear a name.”

Xiao Ge explained, with a hint of unconcealable joy on his face.

“I understand.

In that case, can you give me a few more embryos?

Wouldn’t I have a bunch of S-rank Emo-gear then?”

“You’re thinking too beautifully.

Before this Emo-gear is completely damaged, you can’t bind to a second Emo-gear embryo.”

Looks like there’s no way to exploit a bug.

But a folding fan?

It looks quite nice.

Using a folding fan as a weapon is also very beautiful.

Xu Nian was a male college student in the drama department in her previous life.

Perhaps she could use this folding fan to perform a play or something.

Xu Nian waved the fan again.

She hadn’t thought of a name for it yet.

Her gaze landed on Su Qingya, and she realized that Su Qingya hadn’t awakened her Emo-gear yet.

Xu Nian knew that Su Qingya, as a protagonist, couldn’t possibly fail to awaken, and would likely have an S-rank Emo-gear like herself.

But a mischievous thought couldn’t help but burst out in Xu Nian’s heart.

What was that saying?

Um, farm some of her own joy energy.

This is also a part of improving herself.

“Qingya, pfft, why haven’t you succeeded yet?

Could it be that you can’t do it?

You’re such a scrub.

I’ve awakened an S-rank Emo-gear, you know.

You can’t be worse than me, pfft, scrub Qingya, why are you so slow, scrub~ scrub~”

Xu Nian shouted triumphantly.

She was indeed very proud.

She had awakened an S-rank Emo-gear! So she had the capital to be proud.

Even if Su Qingya really awakened an S-rank Emo-gear later, it would still be slower than Xu Nian.

Xu Nian could still be proud!

Hehe~

Scrub Qingya.

Xu Nian was completely invincible!

Pop the champagne!
