NOVEL WEB Chapter 363: Auxiliary And Stuff
New Volume With New Synopsis:
////
Dimensional merging had begun, and Li Bei's peaceful life was on the verge of collapse.
Luckily, he encountered the absurdly overpowered, yet helpful, Hedgehog(Ciweimao) Novel System! As long as he role-played as a "bad woman" in other worlds and successfully messed with people's minds, he could gain power and steadily work his way back to a peaceful life.
But how could one maximize the psychological damage?
The answer: Max out the protagonists' affection, then chop yourself into pieces and serve yourself up on a platter right in front of them.
The most elite bad women often use the most basic tactics!
In the world of Honkai, Otto's beloved childhood sweetheart was reduced to cinders before his very eyes.
In the world of Chainsaw Man, Denji's found family was turned to ash right in front of him.
In the Previous Era, Kevin's most important comrade was transformed into a Devilman kebab skewer before him...
In the world of Honkai: Star Rail, he made the Trailblazer commit an unforgivable sin and even personally kill the one he loved most.
...Wait a minute! Why does this manga even have me as a character?!

Unit-1: Lihua (李华) [Honkai Impact 3rd-CE]
Appearance: A slender young woman with a gentle demeanor. Her hair is a dull, grayish-white due to malnutrition and diluted Kaslana blood, distinguishing her from the typical Kaslana white. Her eyes are a soft, sky-blue.
She favors practical clothing, often seen in a Schicksal uniform or simple dresses.
Personality: Though possessing Li Bei's core consciousness, Lihua's personality is influenced by her Kaslana heritage, making her more empathetic and selfless than her originator.
While driven by the need to harvest energy, she struggles with the moral implications of her actions, often finding ways to justify her manipulations as acts of kindness(vice versa). She possesses a strong sense of responsibility and a desire to protect those she cares for, but also a hidden vulnerability due to her past experiences as an orphan and outcast.
Unit-2: Shoko (梢) [Chainsaw Man]
Personality: A self-proclaimed "bad girl," Shoko embraces the manipulative nature of the system, reveling in playing with others' emotions for energy gain. She's intelligent, cunning, and surprisingly perceptive, with a playful, almost flirtatious demeanor that hides her true intentions.
Though not actively malicious, she lacks Lihua's empathy, prioritizing her own goals over the well-being of others. She's also incredibly narcissistic, valuing beauty and admiration above almost everything else. Her one weakness: being called ugly.
Appearance: Shoko possesses a striking, almost angelic beauty. Her jet-black hair frames a delicate face with captivating red eyes. She favors stylish, form-fitting clothing that accentuates her figure, embracing the "femme fatale" aesthetic.
Unit-3: Lee (黎) [Honkai Impact 3rd-PE]
Appearance: A tall, slender young woman with an androgynous beauty. Her hair is white, mirroring the typical Kaslana, and her eyes are a piercing sky-blue. She favors practical clothing, often seen in a Fire Moth uniform or simple t-shirts and pants.
Later, due to the MANTIS surgeries and the artificial Herrscher procedure, her body transforms into a Soulium-based chimera, indistinguishable from a human externally, but drastically different internally.
Personality: Lee inherits Li Bei's core desire for a peaceful life, but in the Previous Era, this translates into a strong sense of responsibility and a desire to protect humanity from the Honkai.
Though outwardly confident and cheerful, she harbors a deep-seated pessimism and a hidden weariness from constantly shouldering the burden of saving the world. Intelligent, resourceful, and incredibly skilled in combat, she's driven by a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, willing to make difficult choices for the greater good, even if it means sacrificing her own well-being or violating her principles.
Unit-3: ???
?????F?????

ASK: Why does every unit have a different personality?
ANSWER: Li Bei's core consciousness is like a program running on different "computers" (his avatars) with varying "operating systems" (their pre-existing personalities and backgrounds). This influences how Li Bei's core personality manifests in each unit. Lihua's Kaslana heritage, Shoko's Devil nature, and Lee's Previous Era environment all shape their individual personalities.

ASK: What is Li Bei's sexual orientation, and what are the sexual orientations of his units?
ANSWER: Li Bei's sexual orientation is… complicated. He's not asexual or aromantic, but he's incredibly pragmatic and doesn't prioritize romance.
Think of it this way: if achieving ultimate happiness requires marrying and having kids, he'll get hitched and start a family without a second thought.
So, if he's in a female body, he'll marry a man; in a male body, he'll marry a woman. It's less about romantic love and more about achieving his desired outcome. He's a "whatever works" kind of guy.
For his Unit:
A. Lihua: WOMAN(joke), nah but she quite like "LEE" feature so she have fondness with Kallen(woman/Lee), thanks to Kevin Gene that too dominant. (even in here Otto wear that green hat, don't worry my friend Lihua will never marry when 3 idiot trying sabotage each other)
B. Shoko: This one's a bit tricky. She enjoys manipulating people, especially those who crave affection. While her methods might be seen as grooming, she seems to get a kick out of twisting people's emotions, regardless of gender – though she does seem to prefer targeting young boys. If they were older and wizened, it wouldn't be much fun. She's a devil, after all.
C. Lee: Lee's Previous Era template doesn't really prioritize romance. Her focus is on protecting humanity and achieving her dream of being a savior. While she appreciates beauty and can be swayed by cuteness (like with Griseo), romantic relationships are a distraction, something she doesn't have time for. If someone did manage to capture her heart, their strength and dedication to humanity would be the deciding factors, not their gender. She and Kevin would probably get along, if not for those other incidents and Kevin being straight-up dense…

ANSWER: Why you ask this?

ASK: Will Li Bei be punished for his manipulative actions?
ANSWER: Yes, the accumulated energy is considered karmic debt. While I can't reveal all the details, let's just say Li Bei's future involves some… corrective experiences.
