"Welcome to the Abyss Challenge System!"
"This system aims to provide the host with practical combat experience and abilities by utilizing challenges such as 'Abyss' and 'Boss Enemies'."
"Please defeat enemies, complete tasks, and experience new gameplay and fun in higher-level abysses!"
Since Luo Lin transmigrated, there hasn't been a single good day. Although previously male, she became a C-grade Valkyrie of Schiksal upon transmigration, directly entering the logistics and intelligence department. Fortunately, she didn't have to face various types of Honkai beasts directly.
However, the complex and numerous logistics and intelligence analysis tasks kept her busy, leaving her hardly any time to dwell on the body parts she had lost. During the day, she dealt with tons of documents and logistical affairs. In her spare time, she activated the system in her dreams to come into veeery 'intimate' contact with various monsters:
Being roasted by the flying RBG dragon in the sky, having her limbs torn off by the quantum lobsters flashing around, or being blown to pieces by the delayed missiles from the walking metal with a fat shield...
Luo Lin, with her C-grade logistic Valkyrie combat power, found it difficult to confront these formidable opponents.
Then why not enhance her abilities?
But enhancing abilities required defeating enemies, and she couldn't beat the enemies! She fell into a vicious cycle.
After a series of miserable experiences, Luo Lin finally encountered a relatively normal enemy—Fu Hua, Valkyrie Accipiter
"This week's Boss Enemy: Fu Hua, Valkyrie Accipiter - Swift Feather"
"Characteristics: Physical/Stun/Airborne"
Ah, it's the class monitor at St. Freya who pretends to be weak.
Without the Soulium armor polished by Mr. Cuck, without the energy shield made up of Honkai, without flying endlessly in the sky, or teleporting everywhere with the power of the Sea of Quanta...
Fu Hua's uniform was just ordinary cloth, easily pierced by a random bullet. It didn't provide assistance like the Shadow Knight - Full Moon Armor, allowing her to stand up to the Herrscher of the Void.
In short, she's beatable!
"10, 9, 8, 7... 3, 2, 1, 0!"
With the sound of the alarm and the red translucent notification bar, the challenge against the strong enemy officially began!
Luo Lin eagerly picked up two submachine guns and entered the arena, ready to show Fu Hua what "Times have changed," meant.
But as soon as the countdown ended, Fu Hua turned into a shadow, and the next moment, Luo Lin was hit in the face by a simple and unpretentious step-forward punch, ending the challenge with a blackout.
"Tsk!"
Luo Lin was not convinced at her loss. It was just that she hadn't adjusted her mindset properly. Let's try again!
This time, when entering the arena, Luo Lin tightened her nerves, without saying a word, she pulled the trigger, and the bullet-riddled with soulium flew densely towards her opponent!
But Fu Hua flashed, leaving several afterimages behind her. As the bullets passed through the afterimages, a blue light burst from Fu Hua, rapidly spreading along the ground!
When this pulse touched Luo Lin, a shockwave erupted under her feet. Caught off guard, the girl was knocked off balance, her steps floating.
"Damn—"
It was dodged?!
In a hurry, Luo Lin could only aim her gun at Fu Hua's direction and shoot, but her unstable footing prevented her from exerting force with her arms, causing the bullets to miss their mark, and naturally, they posed little threat to Fu Hua.
She could only watch as Fu Hua approached, and in just a few seconds, she was forced into a close-range short fight.
Fu Hua's fingers closed into a fist, piercing straight into Luo Lin's chest, breaking through her attempt to block with her arms. With the other hand clenched into a fist, her knuckles protruded forward, and with just one punch, she hit the girl squarely in the chest!
"Inch Force: Rock Breaker!"
Luo Lin saw stars, although the formidable physical qualities of the Valkyrie prevented her from being killed on the spot, the impact force of Fu Hua's punch far exceeded her imagination, leaving her dizzy and her brain offline, unable to move.
Fu Hua casually followed up with a knee strike, lifting Luo Lin from the ground, then sidestepped and kicked with her boot, landing squarely on the girl's waist.
Luo Lin's body bent into a strange arc, then smashed onto the ground, turning into scattered specks of light, melting into the air.
"Hum—"
Accompanied by the buzzing sound of the disappearance of the impact field, Fu Hua calmly adjusted her clothes, also turning into colorful lights, leaving behind a muttered sentence before disappearing:
"This performance is still not perfect enough..."
Starting with a quick flash to suppress her opponent at the beginning of the game, a combo set that kept Luo Lin airborne, this wasn't perfect enough?!
The challenge space refreshed, and Fu Hua and Luo Lin's figures appeared in the arena.
Luo Lin took a few deep breaths, calming herself.
It's okay, it's just shots being dodged. The shockwave that appeared under her feet just now wasn't that strong. If she stabilizes her posture, she might be able to cope with it. Moreover, the precursor to this move is quite conspicuous (referring to dodging attacks and the blue flash), perhaps she can dodge it in advance based on the move?
After some thought, Luo Lin summarized some experiences and possibilities, ready to verify them in the upcoming challenge.
It's just a failure. In this virtual space formed by the system, she won't really die, and she's already accustomed to the hundred percent pain and near-death sensation, so what else can stop her? The bored self-esteem of a transmigrator?
This is the world where Honkai runs rampant. Even if she doesn't fight for the grand vision of fighting for all the beauty in the world, just for the sake of her own life, Luo Lin must make good use of this Abyss Challenge System.
The girl vigorously rubbed her cheeks and focused her gaze on Fu Hua not far away.
"Class monitor, please teach me more!"
---
The girl in blue practice clothes stood silently in place, her posture relaxed, but the sharp gaze behind her red-framed glasses was extremely sharp, making Luo Lin dare not look directly at her.
Luo Lin continued to challenge repeatedly, from being instantly defeated at the beginning to gradually enduring several rounds...
Then, because she was too immersed in the challenge and ignored the passage of time, by the time she realized she was mentally exhausted, she had already become numb to it, and the current battle was almost turning into a GIF.
Sighing, Luo Lin decided to make one final attempt, summarizing the experience of being beaten up by Fu Hua today. Her current state was not suitable for continuing to stubbornly fight the challenge.
"3, 2, 1, 0!"
Entering the arena, Luo Lin fired her submachine guns to make Fu Hua dodge, adjusted her posture to deal with the shockwave erupting beneath her feet, and simultaneously threw flash grenade to hinder her opponent's advance, while trying to inflict damage using firearms...
As Luo Lin's thrown objects and magazines were depleted, Fu Hua would attempt to dodge again, quickly closing the distance, and then break through Luo Lin's defense within two to three moves, followed by a textbook-style airborne combo.
If she could record a video, it would completely justify an exaggerated title, such as "Reforging the Radiance of Valkyrie Accipiter, Wholesale Price of Unenhanced Valkyrie Accipiter's fist' at 800+ with only throwing Hands"?
"This performance is still not perfect enough..."
Accompanied by the familiar voice, Luo Lin appeared outside the challenge arena with vacant eyes, lying flat on the ground, her body as cold as the floor, feeling completely drained.
"Ugh, I'm done, I need a break!"
The girl uttered fragmented murmurs, her entire being drained of color.
"Congratulations! You have achieved the achievement 'Perseverance in Defeat'"
"Perseverance in Defeat: Fail to defeat a strong enemy consecutively 100 times."
Luo Lin looked awkwardly at the system prompt box that popped up, with a golden achievement badge on it, featuring a salted fish lying on the ground with twin braids. The noodle-like tears flowed all over the floor.
She looked closely and saw a string of small words behind the badge:
"You cant even beat these weaklings? Transmigrator, you should be ashamed!"
"System, you...!!"
Before the girl could curse, a new prompt popped up below:
"Achievement Reward: 'Assisting Valkyrie' module unlocked"
"You can use this module in subsequent challenges and missions to summon Valkyries to assist in combat!"
"... System, you did well!"
Luo Lin, having mastered the intangible cultural heritage on her own, put on a Sichuan Opera face-changing performance for everyone.
"This module will be fully installed in 12 hours of real-time. During this period, it will not affect the use of the system. Please be patient, thank you."
The girl looked at the progress bar, which was as slow as a snail, and felt an overwhelming sense of joy in her heart.
Finally, there was a way to break free from this endless loop of losing, not receiving rewards, and continuing to lose.
She summoned the button to exit the system space, happily ending today's routine, and sank into a deep slumber under the covers...
