Chapter 156: 156, Tina’s Consciousness of the ‘External World’_1
After the [Guardian of the Gate] fell, a pale golden teleportation portal appeared not far in front of its body.
Su Yu walked over to check the boss’s loot, but found that unlike usual, the boss did not drop equipment and materials. The only item in the loot list was 20 pieces of [Tina’s Crystal of Obsession].
“Damn it, I don’t need equipment anyway but how did Tina develop an obsession with this big thing?” said Su Yu, looking at the construct made of the three demon-gods of thunder, wind, and water. He wondered what on earth had appealed to Tina’s moe tendencies.
“I’ll have to ask Tina about it some other time.”
Su Yu pocketed the 20 [Crystals of Obsession] and entered the teleportation portal.
After a dizzying period of teleportation, Su Yu entered the “outer world” of Tina’s consciousness.
Tina’s conscious world was divided into the “outer world” and the “inner world”, both of which were strongly disturbed by obsessions.
What Su Yu had to do was to eliminate these obsessions so that Tina could wake up in reality.
Upon entering the “outer world” of consciousness, the 13th chapter of the main storyline officially began.
However, Su Yu, who had just entered, was completely dumbfounded.
Because after coming to the conscious world, the character he was controlling was no longer the young male character, [Nemesis], but had turned into a little girl.
Stretching out his soft little hand and looking at the cute little skirt on his body, Su Yu was one hundred percent sure that he had become a little girl!
Looking around, he realized he was in a grocery store named[Morning Song Grocery Store].
Seeing the shop’s name, Su Yu immediately remembered. Wasn’t this the name of the shop Tina opened in the novice village?
Indeed, after the busy shopkeeper found some free time, he turned to her with a smile and said, “Tina, how about helping Dad run this grocery store when you grow up?”
Hearing the shopkeeper’s words, Su Yu finally understood.
He had taken over the body of Tina when she was a young girl! And he gained control over Tina’s body.
Although he really wanted to take out the [Sorrow of Fungus] and strike Tina’s father, for the sake of the mission, she clenched her little fist and said in a cute voice, “Dad, Tina will work hard!”
During the next two hours, according to the storyline, Su Yu sped through all the major events in Tina’s life.
From Tina’s childhood being bitten by a poisonous snake, her adopted stray cat dying to inheriting the Morning Song Grocery Store when she grew up, being tested for her warrior talent Finally joining the Unicorn Knights and confronting mentor Megan in the big arena.
Su Yu, controlling “Tina’s” body, experienced all of her life’s major events.
During the mission, to help Tina make up for her regrets and eliminate her obsessions, Su Yu forcibly changed the outcome of many events.
For instance:
Kicking away the poisonous snake about to bite her, he received [Tina’s Crystal of Obsession]x1.
He managed to heal the dying stray cat with herbal medicine, earning[Tina’s Crystal of Obsession]x5.
Becoming a diligent manager of the Morning Song Grocery Store and receiving praise from the villagers, he received[Tina’s Crystal of Obsession]x3.
Taking the initiative to woo a foreign adventurer named[Nemesis] .
Finally, at the Orleans City Grand Arena.
Legion Commander Grace was floating in the sky, openly condoning the cheating by Mentor Megan, allowing the duel to proceed.
At that moment, a pair of golden wings spread behind “Tina”.
“Tina” soared into the sky, the golden lance carrying with it immense power and went straight through the Legion Commander’s body.
“How how is it possible? You’ve actually reached the 6th rank?” The Legion Commander incredulously looked at the lance piercing his body, then he exploded, dropping a total of 20[Crystals of Obsession].
Killing the Legion Commander had cleared the obsession haunting Tina’s “outer world” of consciousness.
Meanwhile, the “Tina” in the sky returned to her original form as Nemesis.
“Ding, the main storyline [Saint of Orleans City (13/100)] has been completed. Reward received: [Tina’s Golden Wings (Special Item)] ×1, Experience Points ×3000.”
[Tina’s Golden Wings (Special Item)]
Effect: Launches you 500 meters into the sky and opens golden wings. Cooldown time: 20 minutes. (Can only be used in non-combat state.)
After transforming back to his original form, Su Yu tried to pat his own chest.
Feeling the solid muscles there, he let out a sigh.
Although he had been controlling Tina’s body just now, his operating authority had been quite low.
In order to protect Tina’s privacy, actions like patting one’s chest were impossible, making the body feel very stiff.
Now he could finally pat his chest, yet it was his own chest. Su Yu felt at a loss for words.
After completing the mission, Su Yu turned his attention to the reward item—[Tina’s Golden Wings].
After reading the details of the item, Su Yu nodded, “Well, it’s a decent auxiliary item, at least it can be used for climbing mountains.”
If Su Yu needed to climb a 500-meter hill in the future, he could activate this item at the foot of the hill, fly to a height of 500 meters, glide over and save a lot of time.
Of course, in a non-combat state, this item can also provide some escape aid.
He could study it more deeply later.
After completing the mission, a golden teleportation door opened in the center of the duel field.
Meanwhile, Su Yu received a game prompt:
“Ding, your main plotline has been updated! [Saint of Orleans City (14/100)].”
“Task requirement: Enter the ‘inner world’ of Tina’s consciousness and kill the boss [Tina’s Obsession].”
“Task reward: Experience Points ×3000.”
“[Tina’s Obsession] boss in the 14th chapter? Could it be that it’s not the final boss?”
However, Su Yu didn’t think too much about it.
Checking his backpack, so far he had obtained 99 pieces of [Tina’s Crystal of Obsession]. He got all the crystals he could during the mission, so he believed the final boss wouldn’t be too hard.
Su Yu put the [Crystals of Obsession] at the most frequently used slot in his backpack and stepped into the teleportation portal.
Once again, after a whirl of dizziness, Su Yu found himself in a golden space.
Beneath him was a dazzling golden metal ground, above him an incredibly bright golden sky, and beside him, an endless golden mist.
The environment Su Yu was in now was very similar to the maze earlier, only the gray color scheme of the maze had been replaced with gold.
In front of Su Yu stood a giant “Tina” wearing golden armor and standing 5 meters tall.
[Tina’s Obsession (Epic) lv27]
Health points: 68300
Attack: 1247
Skills: [Radiant Flame Piercing], [Shining Flame Slash], [Body of the Divine (Passive)]
Note: The amalgamation of Tina’s obsessions, the root cause of Tina’s unconscious state.
The colossal “Tina” in front of him could be considered a gigantic version of Tina, with her skills replicated too. But its eyes were blood red, making it look a bit scary.
The gigantic “Tina”, upon noticing Su Yu’s arrival, promptly transformed into a beam of golden light and charged toward his location.
In an instant, the golden lance was already at Su Yu’s chest.
