Chapter 4 Obtaining Divine Fragments
"Forced to leave after a week?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Chen, who was lying in bed, couldn't help but frown.
He wasn't sure what world he would be going to next. If it was another anime world, that would be fine, but if it was a regular isekai (another world)...
In reality, Shichen wasn't interested in becoming a god. He had always lived a very comfortable life, and now that he could come to the world of Frilian, he was naturally willing to do so.
He likes anime and manga, and he likes people and things that are a dimension away from him. How could he possibly refuse to be able to connect with them?
But after only a month, he was suddenly forced to leave, which made him feel extremely anxious and uncertain.
In that case, his original plan to stay put was ruined, and he didn't know if he would be able to come back in the future.
Perhaps becoming a god will allow him to return, but how long will that take?
Ninety-nine fragments of divine essence. If all goes well, each fragment takes a month to acquire, so that's ninety-nine months, or a little over eight years... Doesn't seem that long?
But the problem is that Shichen might not be able to return after becoming a god.
However, there is a way: he can simply not remove the divine fragments from Frilian's body.
Anyway, I need to collect them all, so I'll definitely come back later.
Just as Chen was thinking this, that mechanical voice rang out in his mind again.
[The host doesn't need to do that. After leaving this world, you will leave your coordinates and can return in just one month.]
"Huh? Such a good thing?"
[Host, please collect the godhood fragments diligently, or you will regret it.]
"Is that so?" Shi Chen frowned again.
This shouldn't be meant to scare him, nor should it be a trick to get him to collect the fragments of divinity.
Regret?
In other words, what should the fragments of divinity be used for, or what will he use at crucial moments?
Now that we're back, let's collect them honestly. Shi Chen doesn't want to regret it later.
Determined, Shi Chen tried to spring out of bed with a leap, but he failed.
With a thud, he fell hard onto the bed, wincing in pain.
Shi Chen then realized that his physical condition seemed to have deteriorated, his five senses had weakened, and his strength seemed to have decreased.
He remembered that his special privileges for his mission were expiring in a month.
We still need to collect the fragments, otherwise we won't be able to survive properly in this world.
He can't learn magic, and the immunity effect that comes with his divine body is useless so far. At most, he doesn't need to take a bath. If his physical abilities also decline, he'll become a cripple.
Having Frilian take care of a good-for-nothing like him seems pretty good, but Shi Chen isn't thinking about that right now. Besides, he wants to learn magic.
Magic is a good thing; it's convenient and amazing. He likes it.
Perhaps, traveling to other worlds might offer a way to learn magic.
Shichen obediently moved his body out of bed, rubbed his bottom, and left his room.
A week is a good time to say goodbye.
Shichen's room and Frilian's room were on opposite sides, with the kitchen and living room in the middle. When he came out of his room, he immediately noticed that the door to the other room was still closed.
Frillie was still sleeping in.
He's so young, and for some reason he really loves sleeping in... wait, that's not right, Frilian is an elf, she's way older than him.
Without regard for the time, he went to the door of the other room and pushed it open.
He was about to wake Frillie up; it wasn't the first time he'd done it.
It started because Frillie had been sleeping for too long, so Shichen had no choice but to go into her room to wake her up, and that became a routine afterward.
The door was pushed open, revealing the scene inside. The light was dim, but everything was clearly visible. The furnishings were simple, with only two beds, one of which was empty.
The other bed was half empty, with only a small piece of blanket on it, but the petite sprite was gone... no, there was a pair of cute and delicate little feet still on the bed.
When Shichen entered the room and approached Frilian's bed, he saw her lying on the floor, her silver hair spread out like a lotus flower, with only her calves and feet hanging off the edge of the bed, her delicate face looking very peaceful.
Frillie's sleeping posture was not good.
Moreover, she was wearing a nightgown, and with this movement, the hem of the skirt slipped down to her abdomen, revealing not only her simple white panties but also her fair and delicate belly.
Her belly button is also quite delicate and exquisite.
Her skin was incredibly white, from her abdomen to her thighs, it was like snow, crystal clear and almost transparent.
The body of an elf is so exquisitely crafted.
Shi Chen admired the scene for a moment before walking around to Frilian's side, then squatting down and pinching her little face to wake her up.
"Frilian, you lazybones, time to get up."
"Hmm..." Frillie was sleeping soundly, and even with her face being pulled so long, she showed no sign of waking up, only frowning slightly in discomfort.
Shi Chen had no choice but to stretch out his hands, grab her little face on both sides and pull it apart, shouting loudly, "Get up, the sun's already high in the sky!"
"Hmm..."
Frillie groggily opened her eyes, and seeing the time, she murmured blankly, "Time...?"
"How many times have I told you? You need to call me senior brother, understand?"
"What are you doing? You're disturbing my sleep." Frilian was much more awake. She slapped Shichen's hand away and smacked her lips.
"Time to get up, I need to make breakfast. Didn't you say you'd wake me up before you made breakfast?"
"So early?" Frillie twisted her body, fell to the ground, then swayed as she sat up, rubbing her eyes, looking lazy and tired.
The beautiful scenery was obscured, but I didn't regret it; I saw it almost every day.
He wasn't taking advantage of her vulnerability, because Frilian knew he saw her every day, but since she was still so unguarded, it meant she didn't care.
It seems like they're taking advantage of innocent people?
No, he was just looking and didn't do anything, so he has a clear conscience.
There aren't many men as outstanding as him anymore.
"It's getting late. If we don't eat breakfast soon, we might have to eat lunch."
"Really? What are we having for breakfast this morning?" More than the time, Frilian was more concerned about what breakfast was.
"You'll find out soon enough." Shi Chen gave Frilian a mysterious smile, offered no further explanation, and left the room.
This piqued Frillie's interest. She leaned on the bedside and slowly got up like an old woman, then swayed as she walked towards the door.
He was yawning all the while.
Upon leaving the room, Frillie didn't notice the time, so she went outside.
Shichen was busy in front of the stone furnace he had built when he saw Frilian come out. He smiled and waved to her, "Come and help me start a fire."
"What are you doing?"
Frillie walked over, raised her little hand, and the wood in the stove caught fire.
It's just for starting a fire; you don't need a wand.
"Nothing much... Magic is really convenient." Shichen looked at the fire and sighed.
"Time..."
"What? Worried about me?" Shichen turned to look at Frilian, smiled, and reached out to rub her little head.
"Don't worry, I'm not sad. After all, I'm so handsome and outstanding, I'll be popular with many women even without magic."
Frillie: "..."
"Go wash up quickly. Just leave this over here to cook. I'll tie your hair into pigtails and then we can start eating."
"Washing up will be quick," Frilian said, swatting Shichen's hand away with a hint of smugness.
Washing up is indeed quick; a single spell is all it takes.
"Look how smug you are. If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself?" Shi Chen said with great envy.
"No, that's too much trouble."
"hateful!"
Regardless of whether he needed to wash up, anything that could be solved with magic was something he envied. Having lived an ordinary life for twenty or thirty years, how could he not be tempted by magic now that it was so close at hand?
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Why could someone become a god but not possess magic or magical powers?
Just because they're not locals?
"Time, what's cooking in here?" Frillie was more interested in what was in the pot. After a while, there was already a fragrance, but it wasn't the smell of meat.
"You'll see in a bit. Let me fix your twin tails first."
Shichen pulled Frilian back to her room.
"Shichen, do you really like twin tails?" Frilian asked, being pulled by him.
"No, I just think this hairstyle suits you very well."
It would be even more suitable if she changed into a JK uniform and white stockings.
"I find this so troublesome."
"You didn't tie it yourself! Where's the hair tie?" Shi Chen asked as he entered her room.
"He should be in bed."
"Should be?" Shi Chen searched on the bed for a while and found it on the floor.
"You're littering!" Shi Chen couldn't help but poke her forehead.
"Um...it fell down by itself." Frillie covered her forehead and shifted the blame.
"That's really amazing!"
Shi Chen said irritably, then sat on the edge of the bed, pulled Frilian in front of him, and began to tie her hair.
It doesn't need to be too complicated, just tie it into two simple bunches. Frilian's hair is really good, smooth and silky, I love it.
When the time was tied to one minute, a mechanical voice sounded in my head.
[After one minute of skin contact, a divine fragment has been successfully obtained.]
[Task completed. Permanently obtain task privileges.]
