Due to her father's phone call, she had no choice but to go offline. When the call ended, she immediately logged back on. Before entering the live stream room, a system message in the group chat window caught her attention and left her stunned.
["Cross-World Invitation" cooldown has been accelerated to completion by "Golden Toilet"]
This message had just popped up. After being stunned for two seconds, no one else spoke, though she wasn't the only one online.
She immediately entered the live stream room, where the screen showed a scene of crimson flames accompanied by piercing alarm sounds. In the live stream's chat window, she happened to see Black Cat's comment: [If only we could use the previous "Cross-World Invitation" to invite him now]
She hadn't carefully read the earlier comments, but she roughly understood that the live stream host was currently in a truly life-or-death situation.
Without hesitation, she immediately exited the live stream room and used the invitation button, which was no longer grayed out, to send him an invitation. Almost instantly after sending it, he accepted.
After a moment of surprise, without any hesitation, she confirmed his arrival before her eyes.
The moment she confirmed, a person appeared on the floor in front of her without warning, and she felt somewhat scorching heat waves rushing toward her.
Saeko Busujima immediately stood up and ran toward the outside of this kendo dojo - she needed to get water.
She had barely run far when she reached the entrance and heard movement behind her—
"Here!"
She pointed her finger toward a pool outside. The person in terrible condition behind her rushed forward without hesitation, leaping and diving straight into the water.
Additionally, several metal objects fell to the ground as he plunged into the pool, glowing like red-hot iron blocks.
Her gaze focused on the pool - the steaming pool - as Saeko Busujima watched nervously.
After about ten seconds, which felt like ten minutes, there was finally movement as he stood up.
His condition looked like someone who had emerged from a fire scene, with almost no part of his body uninjured.
Looking more carefully, it didn't seem like his skin had been directly burned by flames, but rather as if he had been nearly cooked by high temperatures, approaching the degree of being thoroughly roasted.
Saeko Busujima ran again, rushing back toward the house to get the emergency medical kit.
In a flash, Saeko Busujima was gently and carefully helping to peel off layers of skin from his body, rather than applying medicine or bandaging wounds.
This was what he had asked her to help with.
She also noticed that his body was automatically healing itself.
At this rate, it would probably be like a snake shedding its skin, with the damaged outer layers peeling away.
However, he was currently weak and didn't have much strength to remove it all himself, so she had to help. Otherwise, if it wasn't removed, the healing would be somewhat hindered.
But this kind of peeling was bloody and gruesome, making Saeko Busujima's face turn quite pale.
"Do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes, please wait a moment."
Saeko Busujima went to get the snacks prepared for guests.
In a flash, she was already cooking in the kitchen, preparing portions for twenty people.
Because his appetite was too good.
It looked like it might still not be enough, so she prepared to—
"No need to prepare more, this is enough."
His words stopped her from planning to prepare more food. It wasn't that she felt he was being polite, but that he genuinely felt it was sufficient.
By this time, his appearance was no longer as horrifying as before, seeming to have healed more than half.
But in this state, if he went outside, normal people would still be frightened upon seeing him.
So his body was quite miraculous, rapidly digesting food and converting it into nutritional energy to accelerate bodily regeneration.
"Saeko Busujima?"
With his vision mostly recovered, Ejie carefully observed the girl before him who appeared to be a mature, wife-type beauty.
Based on her ID and the information Black Cat had provided, this should be her.
The reason he had accelerated the "Cross-World Invitation" was that after being engulfed by flames, what came next would depend on fate. So he casually checked the live stream room and was surprised to discover an anomaly in the energy bar.
To put it this way: imagine a live streaming app that, to attract more users, would offer reward incentives like this:
Watch videos for a certain duration and you can get red envelopes or points and coins that can be exchanged for attractive items.
However, he was a streamer, and the platform was new. To attract streamers, they offered incentive rewards specifically for streamers - stream for a certain duration and receive rewards.
That energy bar had filled up eleven times, giving him eleven coin-like objects.
Clicking to examine them, the usage effect of one immediately caught his attention - it could accelerate the "Cross-World Invitation."
After a moment of surprise, he immediately used it, but one wasn't enough. He ended up using ten before the cooldown ended.
After completing the acceleration, he wanted the live stream audience to pull him over, but something happened to hit his head, causing his consciousness to briefly become dizzy.
When he came to, he found someone had invited him and accepted without hesitation, arriving at Saeko Busujima's place.
"Yes, I am the only daughter of the Busujima family, a third-year student at Fujimi Academy, and captain of the kendo club. I wonder if this matches the information you know about me."
Saeko Busujima responded gently.
Black Cat had told her that the person before her knew the specific situation of her world.
"Mm, that should match my understanding."
Wait, she said she was in third year? When exactly was this?
Ejie remembered that the zombie crisis outbreak seemed to occur right at the beginning of the school year.
If she had already been in third year for some time, that would mean this world might differ from the anime plot he had seen.
"How long have you been in third year?"
"Today was just the first day of starting third year, but it was the entrance ceremony. Regular classes start tomorrow."
"Do you know anyone skilled with computer technology?"
While asking, Ejie also looked at the STC hard drive he had brought over, which he had protected desperately. It appeared undamaged.
"I'm sorry, I don't."
Saeko Busujima answered apologetically.
"No need to apologize."
While Ejie could quickly learn to operate fighters and power armor from A2's side, and similarly from Warhammer's side, appearing to be proficient in many things...
However, this was different from learning computer-related decryption and scanning techniques.
Next time he asked the Emperor's orb for something, he should have it teach him this aspect.
Though that guy's so-called reward acquisition method was truly frustrating, making him want to complain.
So, in this world, who could master STC technology more quickly? He thought of the Japanese.
"Tomorrow then... well, dawn is approaching. Later, please take me to your school to kidnap Saya Takagi."
This statement left the kendo girl before him stunned for a moment before she nodded with a simple "okay."
