Stronger with Crimson Modifier

"Alright, whatever happens, we’ll take it one step at a time.

According to the plot, Zhao Ying should be Zhao Yao’s sister with the limp. They’re all from the same family, so the mission objective is more or less the same.

First, we’ll find their home, then we’ll figure out the rest!"

Xu Shu decisively made the arrangements.

No one in the group objected.

From within the group, the woman in a supermarket uniform slowly raised her hand, breaking the discussion.

"I was thinking... since the main mission is for us to survive for three years, wouldn’t it be better to find a hidden, safe place and just hide out?"

Her voice carried a hint of caution, yet also a glimmer of hope.

"In theory, you’re not wrong.

But this is a Seven-star Novel World from the Reincarnation Bookstore. Doing that would undoubtedly be an extremely foolish move.

In a world like this, the aftershocks from a single Mecha battle could blow up the entire planet beneath our feet. Thinking you can just hide away safely is pure fantasy."

Minna, who was standing to the side, couldn’t help but scoff when she heard this, her eyes filled with disdain.

The woman’s face instantly turned pale. Her lips moved slightly, but in the end, she didn’t say another word.

Just then, as the countdown hit zero, the massive bubble that had enveloped them began to fade.

With a POP, it burst completely.

In an instant, a biting, cold wind and rain howled around them. The once-muffled sounds of the world sharpened into clarity.

Then, the seven of them looked around.

They saw a passerby walking toward them up ahead.

"Leave this to me!"

The beautiful woman from the couple standing nearby smiled faintly.

She stepped forward.

Every time they entered a novel world, they were granted a temporary ability to speak the local language.

The ability would disappear upon leaving, so there was never any need to worry about communication. This was one of the Reincarnation Bookstore’s few user-friendly features.

With just a single glance, the passerby’s expression went slack, and a flush of crimson appeared in his eyes.

He answered all of the woman’s questions without reservation.

Soon, they learned the location of the novel protagonist’s residential complex from the passerby.

...

「Half an hour later.」

The group emerged from a residential complex.

Their expressions varied.

There was a reason for this.

The family of Zhao Yao and Zhao Ying, who were supposed to be living here, had already moved out half a month ago.

Furthermore, they learned that just one day prior, Lower City C District had suffered a fierce Mecha attack and was now a field of rubble.

The official announcement claimed it was the work of thugs from the Dark Realm.

This was something that had never happened in the plot as they knew it.

It seemed the plot had already deviated significantly.

The information they had gathered beforehand had lost its value and could no longer guide their actions.

"Wang Xiang, how’s it going?"

Xu Shu looked to the side.

"I still need some time!"

said Wang Xiang, the young man with the buzz cut.

As he spoke, he manipulated a palm-sized computer, his fingertips tapping away.

Lines of code scrolled past endlessly.

About half a minute later, he stopped.

"Found them. They’re now at Cloud One in Lower City A District.

But what’s strange is that this place is a true high-end residential area. There’s no way the protagonist’s family could afford to live in a place like this."

’He was a little confused, but then he considered the now-derailed plot and figured something like this was to be expected.’

"Let’s head over now and figure out a way to complete Side Mission One first!"

Xu Shu said.

No one objected, and their figures quickly vanished into the curtain of rain.

...

「Ocean Star.」

Located 3.1 billion kilometers from Iron Rock Star.

Among the twelve planets, it ranked fourth from the bottom.

However, its volume was more than three times that of Iron Rock Star.

Its surface was almost entirely covered by a deep ocean, with water accounting for ninety-nine percent of the planet’s total area.

Only a few lonely islands were scattered across its surface.

The oceans of Ocean Star were not the usual blue. Due to a lack of light, they presented an abyssal, deep black.

The twelve planets.

Each one had a completely different geography.

This also led to the different races that evolved on each.

Although this world was still dominated by humans,

there was no shortage of other sentient races.

Take Ocean Star, for example.

Due to its unique ecological environment, a highly advanced civilization was hidden in the depths of its seas.

It was on par with the humans of this world.

Their appearance was also similar to humans, except their lower bodies were fish tails.

They were called the Merfolk.

At this moment, in a region of the seafloor of unknown depth, the dark waters were illuminated by countless points of fluorescent light, as if the Milky Way had fallen into the ocean.

This was a metropolis woven from biomechanics and ancient civilization.

The surfaces of towering coral structures were covered in flowing, fluorescent patterns, like living circuit boards that flickered with the movement of the currents.

Massive spiral towers were made of a translucent biological material, within which schools of fish and glowing plankton could be faintly seen, making it seem as if the entire city was breathing.

Merfolk moved through the streets, their bodies a fusion of biological and mechanical aesthetics. Some had tail fins inlaid with metallic scales that shimmered with a cold light.

Others had glowing bio-instruments wrapped around their arms.

At the city’s center was a colossal bioreactor, shaped like a beating heart. Its surface was covered with pulsating, vein-like conduits that transported energy to every corner of the metropolis.

In the distance, a school of mechanical sharks swam slowly by.

Their bodies were a hybrid of metal and biological tissue, and their backs were mounted with luminous sensors. They were responsible for patrolling the city and maintaining order.
