Three worlds…

You fell into deep thought as you looked at the options provided by the system.

War…

The war of the Followers of Abundance.

Emanators of Abundance, the High-Cloud Quintet, Celestial Ark Yuque…

For a moment, you hesitated, unsure where to go.

Although a customized world offers more freedom, you have always had a bit of a phobia about making choices.

Where should I go? Go to war?

You shook your head. You are essentially a coward who fears death.

Unless absolutely necessary, you do not want to get involved in any war. After all, war is a true fight for survival.

Even if it is only a simulation.

For a moment, you felt a bit puzzled. Should you go to Himeko's hometown to do mechanical repairs?

Maybe I could even become Himeko's repair instructor, you muttered to yourself.

"System, does the number of traits I can carry include permanent traits?"

"No, but you can only choose a maximum of two traits from each level."

The system's voice arrived, and Su Xiaobai's heart leapt with joy. That's good. That means, in addition to the innate [Lucky] trait,

you can choose four more traits.

As for the choice of world, if nothing unexpected happens, I'll choose the second starting point of the Astral Express.

Himeko…

That charming navigator. If she could appear before me,

how wonderful that would be.

And Herta is in this world…

That is the most important thing. If I could meet Herta, that would be truly great.

It's just that…

There is still no option for longevity among the traits. With my fleeting life of at most a hundred years, will I have to put on a show where Herta buries me in the end?

In that case, it would be rather undesirable.

Even if she masters rejuvenation techniques, still… I, as her older brother, do not want to be a burden to her.

So where should I go, after all?
