Goddess Development Plan

After finishing a strangely atmospheric lunch, Chu Lian finally returned to her room with Tina clinging tightly to her chest, gripping her shirt and eyeing her smiling mother warily. She completely ignored her mother's affectionate gaze.

It seemed Tina had truly been tormented enough over this period to develop some psychological trauma. She dared not let the woman near her, fearing she'd be captured again and toyed with for hours on end.

As a cat in its normal form, certain instincts were unavoidable. Tina could remember kindness but would haughtily act like she wouldn't return it. But if someone treated her badly, she would definitely remember—even if she didn't take revenge, she would never approach that person again.

Chu Lian stroked her chin and walked slowly back to her bedroom under her mother's watchful eyes. Once inside, she closed the door and collapsed onto her bed like she was utterly drained.

Before she lay down, Tina had already jumped out of her arms. Now she was licking her paws and looking at Chu Lian with a proud expression, as if getting back at her for all the previous neglect.

"You little thing, I don't know how you grew up this way. You're just in your infancy, yet you're so clever. I wonder how you'll turn out when you grow up. I really hope your strength increases. Comparing your attributes to those of the attackers… the gap is just too big. If this is your full strength, then maybe I really overestimated you..." She buried her face in the quilt, her voice muffled.

Of course, she hadn't brought Tina back upstairs just to save her from suffering. What she really wanted to know was why the little creature's stats were so low. She knew all young creatures go through a vulnerable phase, but she had hoped Tina could already become a key part of her fighting force—to share in the coming danger.

Stupid flat-chested master, I was only just born recently. I haven't even reached the age where I can inherit the knowledge and power in my bloodline. Low stats are normal. Besides, how much better are you really? Hmph. I may be weak now, but I'm still better than you, Miss Easily Pushable.

True enough, Chu Lian's attributes hadn't changed much over the past week. The data was just a bit more detailed.

Maybe even Chu Lian realized her expectations were a bit unreasonable. But given her current situation, it was understandable. Her stats spoke for themselves:

Name: Chu Lian

Age: 13 / ??? (Evaluation: As a pseudo-loli with a mysterious background, your real age is as much a mystery as Yukari's.)

Race: Human Loli (Evaluation: A pseudo-loli with the body, heart, and personality of a loli. Isn't that still a loli? Stop denying it.)

Gender: Female (Evaluation: Even if your mind insists you're a guy, just look at yourself. What part of you looks male?)

Birthdate: 2002.02.08 (Evaluation: Though questionable, don't overlook that Aquarius is the most charismatic zodiac sign!)

Stamina: 7 (Evaluation: You're just slightly stronger than a full-grown cat. Among peers, you're in the featherweight class—the so-called flat-chested, flat-hipped type.)

Speed: 7 (Evaluation: You should be faster than a sprinting turtle, but you're still on the lousy side. If someone really wants to catch you, there's no escape.)

Strength: 7 (Evaluation: Are you doing this on purpose? Three sevens? Seriously? Your strength barely exceeds a grown cat's. Basically, your combat power = cat x 2.)

Spiritual Power / Mana / Magic Power / Inner Power: SS / A / A / A (Evaluation: Your body contains infinite energy, but you can't use it. The system cannot sense, identify, or assess this power, so it cannot display it as data.)

Attribute: Void (Void means infinity, containing all yet remaining unique.)

Luck: EX~E (Evaluation: Heaven's Favorite, but also Heaven's Jealous. Be cautious—any slip may lead to disaster. Your luck fluctuates strangely and constantly. Among all detected individuals, none have a luck pattern like yours.)

Power: None ~ Unknown (Evaluation: Your body contains not only boundless energy but also mysterious powers the system cannot detect. This might relate to the mystery of your origins. Don't be fooled by talk of destiny—your background is far from simple.)

Personality: Sharp-tongued, Tsundere, Scheming, Resilient (Evaluation: Even as a true—loli, you're more than qualified.)

Hobbies: Acting cute, sacrificing integrity, yuri, male aversion (Evaluation: Yuri supreme! Long live lace! Even if you lose integrity, you still sell moe to earn it back. Perhaps due to unknown reasons, someone who was once male has become a complete male-averse individual. Any man with ill intentions toward you will instinctively disgust you. Summary: You're beyond saving. Girl, just like girls already.)

Titles: Genius Literary Girl, Genius Musical Girl, Drifting Wave Fairy, Loli, BlackNeko, No Integrity (Evaluation: A unity of the normal and the abnormal.)

Talents: Loli Heart, Orchid in the Valley, Sealed, Sealed, Condition Unmet, Condition Unmet, Divinity, ??? (Evaluation: Divinity was granted by the system. Without it, you couldn't accept anything not of this world. Divinity enables you to contain them.)

Skills: Remilia-sama's Dignity, Head-Hug Squat Defense, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Undetectable, Undetectable, ??? (Evaluation: Maybe you should ask your current parents how you were born.)

Soul Skill: White Rose (Half-sealed; activated abilities: White Halo, White Blossom) (Evaluation: I worked hard to help you develop this sudden skill. How did you even awaken it? Your talent and luck would make people jealous. This must be related to your bloodline. I'm really curious about your true origins—they're incredible.)

Cultivation Technique: ??? (Evaluation: How could something so harmless escape my detection? This defies logic!)

Items: Reimu's Donation Box, The Gloves Abandoned by the Ladykiller, Misaka Mikoto Outfit, Unknown, Unknown, Unknown, Undetectable, Undetectable, ??? (Evaluation: Why are there so many unknown energy sources on you? Are you secretly a ship? Or a weapons depot?)

Weapon: ??? (Evaluation: My instincts say this thing is deadly. Absolutely do not let her touch it! Nobody wants to be on the receiving end!)

Pet: Spirit Cat Cub

Completed Quests: Goddess Development Plan Main Quest ①: Debut of the Literary Girl, Side Quest ①: Sudi High School, Special Quest ①: Approaching Storm, Goddess Quest ①: First Performance of the Genius Musical Girl. (Evaluation: Quest names reflect your overall performance. Girl, pick up the pace! Go trigger more quests!)

Talents: C-Level Writing, D-Level Music, AA-Level Performance, C-Level Eloquence, C-Level Basketball, A-Level Driving, B-Level Drawing, C-Level Cooking, S-Level Mastery of Chinese Classical Instruments, C-Level Singing, A-Level Moe Appeal, ??? (Evaluation: Your accumulated skills from both past and current lives give you a head start over 99% of others. Whether you can use them well depends on your own talent. Also, I hate undetectable data!)

Goddess Value: 13 (Evaluation: Surprisingly high! Looks like your potential is excellent...)

Reputation: 712,548 (Evaluation: For your age and achievements, this is already very impressive.)

Points: Goddess Points: 4757; Culture Points: 340,700; Skill Points: 0; Admiration Points: 96,247; Dream Points: 7; Item Points: 7; Integrity Points: 30,423 (Evaluation: Still a broke girl.)

(Note: Many of these stats grow over time, so if some values differ from the last time, the increase happened during that period. Don't overthink it.)

System Assessment: A noob with boundless potential. Perfect for bosses to gang up on for the best loot drops. High chance of drawing hate from unknown entities. Suggested strategy: befriend her before she grows stronger. At the very least, don't provoke her for personal gain—you'll regret it later.

That concludes the post-update attribute panel. Previously, only specific traits were evaluated. Now, it's turned into annoying roast-style commentary with shameless evaluations, making Chu Lian feel an overwhelming urge to drag the system core out of its slumber and beat it up.

Of course, that was just a feeling. Judging by the system's condition, it wouldn't awaken until she completed the ninth main quest. So she could only bottle her frustration.

Still, despite the aggravating tone, the commentary helped her understand her strengths and weaknesses clearly.

Only, none of this is useful for the danger ahead.

Her gaze drifted toward a certain section of the exchange list. Perhaps... that could help...
