My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?
Chapter 4: Isn't This Cool? I Think This Is So Cool[Note: After selecting to claim, the system will excavate the potential deep within your soul, awakening a talent unique to you.]
Lin Guang stared seriously at those words. In those dark eyes, there was no ecstasy, no surprise—not even the slightest change in his breathing rhythm.
But there was still a change.
At that boundary between light and shadow, the corners of Lin Guang's perpetually taut, cold mouth slowly curled upward, eventually forming a very obvious, somewhat unrestrained arc.
It was like a long-awaited package finally knocking on the door.
Like the second shoe finally hitting the floor with a thud.
Like a game he had pre-ordered for a very, very long time finally being released.
At this moment, Lin Guang calmly but joyfully accepted this "inevitability."
The smile vanished in an instant. He pulled out his old-fashioned brick phone—its buttons worn and paint chipped—found Xia Yao's name in the contacts, and dialed.
"Hello? What's up?"Xia Yao's somewhat surprised voice came through the receiver, with background noise of a moving vehicle, as if she were still in a car.
"Is this the first time you've ever called me? Don't tell me you've changed your mind and want to accept the quest to become my 'boyfriend'?"
"But no~way~, the limited-time quest has expired, and there's no renewal unless you beg..."
Lin Guang cut her off, decisive and brooking no doubt: "I might be very busy in the next few days. I'll be taking leave from school too. I don't have time to play the hero-saving-beauty game with you."
There was a clear pause on the other end of the line. Then, as if instantly exploding, her voice shot up an octave:
"Hah? You're just deciding not to accompany me like that? It's your honor that I, Miss Xia, invited you to play! This is an honor that others would beg..."
Lin Guang had no intention of humoring or soothing her. He just continued speaking calmly: "So you need to watch out for yourself. Don't run around."
After about two seconds, the previously arrogant energy on the other end of the receiver seemed to deflate like a punctured balloon. A clearly worried voice came through, awkwardly twisted:
"Ugh... Not even going to school? Is it really something serious? Need my help?"
"Just don't bother me."
"Then I'll wait until you're done... we'll talk."
"Whatever you want."
Lin Guang hung up the phone and casually tossed it aside.
With the trivial matters cleared away, the world was finally quiet.
He looked back at the blue panel in the void, adjusted his breathing until his mind was once again as still as water, and then silently chanted in his heart.
"Claim."
BOOM—!
The next moment, his consciousness felt as if it were being sucked into a massive vortex.
Lin Guang watched countless surreal scenes flash before his eyes:
A silver-red giant standing beneath the setting sun, locked in a struggle with two roaring monsters.
An armored knight in a mask leaping high amid the flames of an explosion, executing a finishing flying kick, a radiance like a nuclear blast igniting beneath his feet.
A steel giant emitting blue particles stood in the starry sky, facing enemies as numerous as the stars, erupting with boundless light.
A girl in a gorgeous dress faced countless bizarre, abstract monsters, a miraculous power of will blossoming from her hands.
An immortal with an indistinct face traversed the vast void of realms in battle, his magical power seeming to possess its own will—a single strand could reincarnate into a living being, becoming an undying beast.
A figure with a sea of blood-like aura and hair like a black waterfall fought until the starry river shattered, as if the Great Dao itself were on the verge of destruction. Every gesture felt like the birth of heaven and earth, surging with primordial chaos force.
But these were merely the tip of the iceberg.
Countless unimaginable images flashed through his mind—all scenes he had either seen or imagined before.
It seemed that this so-called awakening of talent was indeed related to his past memories and experiences.
Lin Guang slowly opened his eyes. Those dark irises still held little fluctuation, only a kind of "as expected" wisdom and certainty.
"Following the logic of web novels, the work you were reading or watching right before transmigration would have a decisive influence on your abilities after crossing over—or even be the cheat itself."
"This is also documented in countless works."
As if stating an axiom, Lin Guang slowly raised his right hand, extended his index finger toward the sky, and followed it with his gaze: "Although I'm only a half-baked tokusatsu fan, since I was rewatching 'Ka○un Rider Kabu■■' before my transmigration, it means that in the world I've crossed into, Ka○un Riders definitely exist."
Just then, a cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! You have awakened an A-rank talent—Precision Control Engine.]
[Precision Control Engine: Allows you, as the core engine, to link and perfectly control all "humanoid constructs." In operation, you can use rationality to eliminate all fear and hesitation, overclocking and unleashing their various capabilities.]
Lin Guang nodded slightly, clearly satisfied with this.
Precision control. Controlling armor.
Wasn't this cool? As a gaming expert, he thought it was incredibly cool—it perfectly matched his vision of his talent, technological and challenging.
However, the system's prompt wasn't over yet.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations! You have awakened an A-rank talent—Soul Link.]
It was a dual talent?
Lin Guang raised an eyebrow slightly. This was a bit beyond his expectations—but it was very fitting for the "two lives in one person" setting. It seemed like a benign mutation, completely within the range of acceptable variables.
Speaking of which, what level were dual A-ranks?
In some power-inflated works, SSS was just the beginning.
In some tactical works, speed and power both being A-rank already spelled "invincible" on your face.
In some original works, A-rank side quest exchanges... well, forget that. A world where fifth-tier sages only had millisecond reaction times and absorption rates so leaky they might as well be holes in the ground was just too outrageous.
But regardless, he didn't want to be Xia Yao's "A-cup."
Lin Guang's mind was unprecedentedly active, as if possessed by countless senior transmigrators.
Until the next line of text appeared.
[Soul Link: Allows your soul to cross material boundaries, linking and activating those miraculous powers born from intense emotions and wishes (for example: Magical Girls).]
The air suddenly fell silent.
"?"
Lin Guang stared at those two words—"Magical Girls"—and fell into a three-second silence.
While it was true that he had watched and played various works in that genre, was this really...
Wait.
So that was why he had seen a magical girl during the talent awakening just now?
And "born from intense emotions and wishes"?
Wasn't this completely conflicting with the "Precision Control" talent? One relied on rationality, the other on emotion—wouldn't they fight each other?
Was there some bug in this system?
At most, he had an incurable chuunibyou—he didn't have a split personality disorder.
Before Lin Guang's mind could process this enormous contradiction, the system prompt rang out again.
[Ding!]
[Detected host's talent combination (Precision Control Engine + Soul Link). Matching exclusive profession for you...]
[Congratulations! Class change successful!]
[Your profession is—Sacred Remnant Pilot.]
Sacred Remnant Pilot?
Lin Guang frowned deeply.
That name gave him a bad feeling.
Before Lin Guang could think further, a pop-up window glowing with scarlet light jumped out directly.
[Please select the difficulty of the Newbie Trial Quest (This is a newbie welfare, can only be selected once).]
[F (Easy) ~ S (Inferno)]
[Note: Failure or abandonment of the Newbie Trial Quest will have no effect on the host.]
Without any thought passing through his brain.
The moment that option appeared, as a hardcore gamer who had cleared countless games and never compromised on such choices, Lin Guang's right index finger moved before his consciousness, relying on terrifying muscle memory to press down.
A true expert always chooses the highest difficulty.
Are you a pro player?
I think I am!
"S-rank."
[Difficulty confirmed: S-rank (Inferno).]
[Loading Newbie Quest... Matching an appropriate instance for you...]
[Matching successful.]
[Proceeding with consciousness link and unit deployment...]
For some reason, Lin Guang's ominous premonition regarding "Sacred Remnant Pilot" and "Magical Girl" reached its peak at this moment.
[Instance loading complete.]
[Your character identity is: Magical Girl Moé-Moé Kaori.]
Just before being sucked into the vortex, Lin Guang's eyes widened wide, and for the first time, his voice carried a tremor of collapse:
"No..."
