Probably realizing there was no escape from Bai Ming's clutches, March 7th quieted down after fussing for a while.
"You... you jerk!" March 7th glared at Bai Ming, who had effortlessly picked her up.
"If I'd known this would happen, I wouldn't have given you CPR in the first place! I should've just let you die back there!"
Bai Ming didn't seem bothered at all; she even chuckled.
"Hehe~"
"But that just shows how kind-hearted you are, March 7th! It's so hard to find someone as gullible and pretty as you these days!"
"Hah?! What did you just say?!"
"Nothing, nothing!" Bai Ming said with a playful grin. "March 7th, you just need to know that you're my treasure!"
Hearing this, March 7th's face flushed red. She turned her head away, stammering incoherently.
Seizing this opportunity, Bai Ming took a moment to check her own situation.
She now realized that the [Honkai Impact 3rd Date Exchange System] didn't actually require her to physically touch the buttons to use it.
It seemed the system had already connected with her consciousness.
Just by thinking about it, she could open it, and switching between functions was seamless.
Wherever she focused her mind, that part would respond.
At the same time, Bai Ming also discovered that the items she had previously drawn were neatly categorized by the system.
For example, under the [Valkyrie Battlesuit] section,
there was currently one [White Comet Battlesuit].
And it wasn't just statically placed there.
It was displayed in a way that allowed 360-degree free rotation.
Every angle could be viewed.
Bai Ming hesitated for a moment, then adjusted the viewing angle for the [Valkyrie Battlesuit] to look at it from below.
From a conventional perspective—
This was equivalent to Bai Ming lying on the ground, and Kiana in the [White Comet Battlesuit] stepping right over her face.
This isn't some perverted behavior!
I just wanted to see the battlesuit from this angle!
However, Bai Ming completely didn't expect that.
After she rotated the view to this position, what she saw was a blurred-out image.
Bai Ming was dumbfounded.
Why does this kind of anti-human blurring setting exist even in another world?!
And there's no one inside anyway!
!@#$%...&*()——+)
After complaining for about fifteen seconds, Bai Ming finally let it go.
It's a feature.
A system feature.
Better check something else for now!
In the [Stigmata] category, the situation was similar.
The Stigmata Bai Ming had obtained so far were all rotating in this space like precious collectibles.
[Lucia (Top) ☆☆☆] -- March 7th
[Rowland (Bottom) ☆☆☆☆] -- Bai Ming
[Marco Polo (Top) ☆☆☆☆☆] -- Bai Ming
They were all here, and very considerately labeled with who they were equipped on.
Speaking of which, how does unequipping work?
Let's research that with March 7th when we have the chance later!
As for the [Weapons] category, it was still completely empty.
Bai Ming really wanted to get some weapons.
But given her luck, she'd probably have to get hit by a meteorite first to draw a good weapon.
After all, miracles aren't free.
But, it's not a big problem.
Although it didn't look very strong, Bai Ming could sense that her baseball bat wasn't as simple as it appeared.
This had already been proven when she was riding the Trampler.
After all, the Trampler's physical durability was quite considerable.
Overall, the inventory aspect of this system, which only she could see, was quite well done.
Just hoping there's no inventory inspection...
She really didn't want to relive the painful experience of pulling for Herrscher of Human.
Speaking of gacha—
Bai Ming looked at the Crystal total and the Event Summary nearby.
The number Crystals had now changed to 730.
And the Event Summary had undergone some small changes.
It was now split into two columns: one for March 7th, and one for Himeko.
[March 7th]
[Kissed March 7th]
[36/100]
[Fought impressively in front of March 7th]
[17/100]
[Teased March 7th]
[23/100]
[Himeko]
[Another World, Another Encounter - Gained the appreciation of another Himeko]
[1/100] ☆
[Himeko finally experienced the illusion of being confessed to]
[24/100]
Just as she thought, these events could be repeatedly triggered.
As long as she moved them sincerely from the heart, she could earn Crystals from it.
Admittedly, Bai Ming quite liked this method.
Hehe—
Pursuing beautiful girls while also pulling for things she likes.
Nothing could be more satisfying than this!
And speaking of which...
Bai Ming's gaze fell on the [Teased March 7th] event.
It wasn't strange that Himeko's "Illusion Event" rating increased after all her efforts in front of Himeko.
But March 7th's rating actually increased too!
So in other words...
She doesn't dislike it as much as she pretends!
"Hehehe—"
Bai Ming looked at March 7th, whom she was holding, and licked her lips.
"March 7th ♡, March, March,March~♪"
"W-what, what do you want?!"
Seeing Bai Ming's grin, March 7th felt a sense of impending doom.
"Nothing!"
Bai Ming looked directly at March 7th, beaming with joy.
"Just seeing you makes me genuinely happy! ♡"
"Eh?"
Hearing this, March 7th first blushed, then seemed to confirm something.
She spoke in a very serious and earnest tone:
"Bai Ming, put me down first!"
"Eh? But..."
"Quickly!" March 7th urged again. "I have something to ask you!"
Seeing March 7th so serious,
Bai Ming naturally couldn't refuse her.
"O-okay, got it."
She put down March 7th, who felt as light and soft as cotton candy.
But Bai Ming didn't expect that.
The moment her feet touched the ground, March 7th immediately pushed Bai Ming against the wall.
Thud.
Bai Ming's back hit the wall.
March 7th looked up at her. Being relatively shorter, she had to stand on her tiptoes to place her hands on either side of Bai Ming's head.
"I'm asking you!" March 7th declared.
"Okay... sure."
Admittedly, even when March 7th tried to act fierce...
She was still incredibly cute!
"You said I'm your treasure, right?" March 7th said, her face still red.
"Yes!" Bai Ming nodded quickly.
"Then what is Himeko to you?"
"Eh?!" Bai Ming was completely caught off guard by the question.
"Answer me, quickly!" March 7th urged again.
"Uh, well..."
Just as Bai Ming was momentarily at a loss for how to answer and her eyes began to dart around—
Bzzt—
The passage door nearby slid open.
A girl with pink hair and blue eyes walked out.
She looked at the two by the wall in confusion:
"You two... what are you doing?"
