After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life
Chapter 170 - 169: Failure?

Chapter 170: Chapter 169: Failure?

When she regained her senses, Bi Xia found herself back in the learning space. This time, not only was there a crystal electronic board, but also a tightly closed electronic door.

Gently pushing aside the damp hair from her forehead, Bi Xia sat in a swivel chair, looking calmly at the slightly larger formatted 007 on the crystal screen.

[Hehe, don’t look at me like that, I’ll get shy.] 007 acted bashfully, pointing at itself.

Bi Xia sneered, "You? Shy? Your face is thicker than the Void Space itself."

"I’m telling you, if you make me hide in the bathroom during an upgrade again, I swear I won’t accept any quests. I won’t even dine with Qin Zhan, and you won’t get a single bit of experience points!"

007: ...

Alright, this time it was indeed its fault.

[Oh, come on now, I just got too anxious. Seeing the experience points halfway and being prompted for an upgrade, I got too excited and chose ’yes’...]

[How about I give you some compensation?]

[A bottle of cleansing potion, two maps, how about that?]

Expressionless, Bi Xia toyed with her necklace, "What use is a map to me? Do you think I’m playing a game?"

[Don’t underestimate the map,] 007’s eyes widened. [This map is just like in games, it can show every person and item in your area. It’s the best tool for fights and ambushes!]

Bi Xia snorted, "Do I seem like someone who has free time to fight all the time?"

pouted, muttering softly, [It’s not that you want to fight, it’s just that the fight might come to you.]

"What did you say?"

[Nothing.] 007 chuckled awkwardly, quickly changing the topic, [By the way, did you see that door?]

[Opening it leads to the Void Space, our old friend.]

Turning her gaze towards the door, her starry eyes dimmed a bit, "Yes, an old friend..."

Back when she first arrived, it was the Void Space that repeatedly played back her past, training her mental fortitude and fragile endurance over and over again.

Her feelings towards the Void Space were really complicated—both love and hate.

It really was... an old friend!

Slowly getting up, she said, "I should get going, otherwise Fourth Brother will get suspicious."

nodded, [Alright, I’ll explain the benefits of the upgrade and the spiritual power test to you later tonight.]

With a faint acknowledgment, she shifted her thoughts, and upon opening her eyes again, found herself back in the bathroom. Noticing her numb legs, Bi Xia supported herself on the wall and slowly stood up. Just as she was about to open the door, she paused, lowering her head to look at her body.

Maybe it was the pain from the upgrade that made her sweat profusely, her clothes were drenched, and the gray color on her back had darkened even more.

The most important thing was, looking down at her chest, she raised her hand to cover it, frowning helplessly. She lifted the pendant on her neck. Why did it stop working?

[Oh oh oh, I forgot to mention, the spiritual power earlier was too intense, coupled with the external spiritual power impact from before, so the gender concealment device’s first defense activated. It will resume in five minutes.]

Bi Xia: ...

’So, I have to stay here for another five minutes?’ Bi Xia smiled faintly, making 007 break out in a cold sweat.

[(⊙o⊙)...If nothing unexpected happens, yes.] 007 covered its face.

Bi Xia: ... Haha.

Bang bang bang——

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside. Bi Xia thought it was someone anxious to use the bathroom. Since she couldn’t go out in her current state, she vented her frustration, speaking harshly, "Why are you knocking? Go wait on the other side!"

After speaking, she quickly covered her mouth. Damn! Due to the gender converter, her voice usually sounded rough, but now, having gotten used to the converter, she forgot to disguise her voice. As soon as she spoke, she realized something was wrong.

Bang bang bang——

The knocking sounded again. Bi Xia cursed and, since no one would recognize her in the bathroom, she didn’t bother to hide it, "I said go wait on the other side!"

The person outside paused, then suddenly chuckled, "Little Nine? It’s me, Qin Zhan."

Bam! Bi Xia cursed inwardly: Oh my God!
