Book 2: Chapter 3: Do You Remember the Stone in the Store?

“...I’m not used to it. I feel that sleeping is more dependable.” Alright. In truth, Chen Heng did not know that Servants had a spirit form, an essential ability of Servants. After all, he had never been a Servant before. How would he know what abilities Servants had? He only noticed that he had such an ability after Merlin mentioned it.

Queen of Ice and Snow: Alright, alright. Stop the livestream, then. Goodbye!”

“Alright. When I wake up tomorrow, I will restart the livestream. If you want to watch, just come on in.”

Chen Heng had pitched the tent while chatting. After he entered, he discovered that its interior was quite large. He did not like cramped spaces.

After shutting off the livestream, he took out a pillow and blanket from the spatial storage. He laid them out and lay down. He had eaten dinner before coming, so he went straight to bed; resting would help him quickly recover his mana.

Chen Heng’s mana was his Will Energy. If Will Energy got drained, it would slowly recover after resting for a while. Sleeping was the fastest way to recover.

------

When Chen Heng woke up, he immediately checked the time in the chat group interface. It was already past eight. This time, his biological clock had not worked. Rather, it might have worked, but every world’s timezone was different. Perhaps this was called the time difference between worlds.

Chen Heng washed his face with water from his spatial storage, brushed his teeth, and returned to his tent to continue waiting. As of now, he did not know what to do, as his mission was to reinforce Gudako. He could trace Gudako’s location from here.

However, the tracking system did not react, which meant Gudako’s group had not arrived in this world yet. Chen Heng did not dare to train outside and could only wait in the tent.

Chen Heng had already laid a web of attraction force with a one-kilometer radius. As long as anyone stepped into this area, he would notice. Furthermore, he had the True Name Discernment personal skill. Aside from figuring out Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s location, he would notice if the other Servants approached, so he did not need to set up any other alarm.

Since there was no Internet or electricity in this world, Chen Heng could only do one thing: kill time in the chat group.

Magus of Flowers: Have you placed your bets?The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: I’m done.

Queen of Ice and Snow: I feel He Who Knows Fate should be able to complete the mission this time.

Magus of Flowers: I think it’s up in the air.

Clearly, Merlin had received a notification of a successful transaction.

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: ...

17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Well done.

Queen of Ice and Snow: That is to say, He Who Knows Fate is planning to summon Merlin in the 1st Singularity?

He Who Knows Fate: I want to try. After all, Merlin would be a strong assistant.

Queen of Ice and Snow: How about this? I’ll sponsor a magic circle that can increase the chances of summoning, out of friendship.

Magus of Flowers: ...That’s fine. I’ll just reject the summoning.

Queen of Ice and Snow: Sorry, the magic circle that I’m sponsoring is a forced summoning type. Although it will use plenty of rare resources, I will feel happy seeing you unhappy. I just have one request: remember to livestream.

He Who Knows Fate: Ok.

Magus of Flowers: ...You can’t do this! You are messing up the storyline. Don’t you think this does not align with the Dimension Administrators Association’s purpose?

Efreet: This should be a perfect example of raising a stone only to drop it on one’s own foot.

[TL Note: “Raising a stone only to drop it on one’s own foot” is a Chinese idiom for harming oneself when one intended to harm another.]

As Chen Heng held the stone he brought with one point, he felt very satisfied. Although Merlin had helped me by lending me his game account, he would be a strong assistant, no matter what. It is absolutely not because I am taking revenge on him for calling me a lolicon and undermining me. It is absolutely not. How can I be such a person? Yes, that’s right.

Chen Heng convinced himself mentally. Then, he received the magic circle, which could raise the chances of a forced summoning, and many other rare materials from Skadi.

Everything was ready except for Mash’s shield. Chen Heng did not know how to lay this magic circle since he had not interacted with the Type-Moon world magic before. Mash’s shield seemed to be able to summon Heroic Spirits, which might increase the chances.

After this, Chen Heng had nothing else to do. Before he came, he thought he would be swamped after arriving. Now, he felt bored.

Chen Heng took out his cell phone, opened the FGO game, and registered an account for himself. He planned to play from the start. Speaking of which, this was quite wondrous. There was no Internet, but he could still play this game. He could also play Honkai Impact 3rd, which he had also downloaded from the association’s store. Furthermore, both were connected to the Internet, so he did not have to play alone and could call for assistance. Honkai Impact 3rd’s Memorial Arena even had rankings.
