Chapter 4 - The Mascot

My name may be forgotten, but so will yours.

"Faith? Admiration and worship?" Furina scratched her chin, a small curve forming on her silly face.

It wasn't that difficult for her. after all, she looked exactly like Furina, the Hydro Archon, with the same showy, attention‑drawing physique, plus eight years of teaching experience in humanities from past life.

The only real problem was bypassing Spirit Hall's monitoring. If they caught even a hint that someone was competing for faith, Qian Daoliu might not react much, but Bibi Dong was another matter entirely.

As a secret chamber Douluo, her thoughts were twisted: if she can't be used by me, then she doesn't need to exist. And with her choosing the path of the God of Justice something she also desired, just like the original Hydro Archon,Bibi Dong wouldn't waste time thinking. She would simply hack me down.

As the inheritor of the Rakshasa God, the only justice she offered was unequal slaughter. Perhaps that was the only kind of justice that truly existed on the Douluo Continent.

"Anyway, I'll leave that to my future self. For now, I'll stay cautious until I'm certain I won't be affected by worldly affairs."

She turned around and immediately hopped onto the bed. As if remembering something, she called out:

"System, is there any newbie subsidy pack?"

[Ding: New pack is opening]

[Ding: Congratulations on obtaining the gifts]

- [Pour La Justice ×10]

- [Furina Clothes set (all sizes)]

- [Recipe of Pour La Justice]

- [Skill: Minor Healing]

- [Echo of Hydro Archon]

Furina was surprised at receiving so many gifts, but quickly calmed herself and began checking each one carefully.

[Pour La Justice]: Increases all party members' Max HP by 30% and restores 2% per second for 300s.

[Recipe of Pour La Justice]: Furina's specialty dish. Pour la Justice means "veneration of justice" in Fontaine, and she who once performed upon the greatest of stages bore witness to the birth of sublime justice. Its layered flavors rise and fade like the waves of the sea, before finally settling as though laying down a heavy burden. Perhaps it reflects something she personally experienced.

[Set of Clothes (Hydro Archon version)]: A complete wardrobe in all sizes, consisting of Coronated Prima Donna (suitable for all seasons), nightwear, winter wear, summer wear, and a treading set.

[Skill: Minor Healing]: Heals minor injuries of a single target within 5 meters of the caster.

[Echo of Hydro Archon]: Summons the Hydro Dragon King for 15 minutes, up to three times a day. To activate, shout "Nauveillate" with all your heart.

(Note: Since Furina is well known for her silliness and tendency to accidentally provoke trouble, this might be fine within Fontaine. But once outside, where no one knows her identity or strength that is barely two‑fifths that of a wild boar, it could lead to troublesome situations. So shout to your heart's content; no one will stop you. It could be better if others don't start shouting after you shout.)

"Pour La Justice… hmm, it's Furina's signature dish, and it even restores 2% HP for 300 seconds. That's huge in the Douluo Continent!" Furina kicked her cushion excitedly and kept looking through the rewards.

"Recipe hah, now I don't need to worry about running out of stock. And this clothing set… truly nice of you, System." She started smacking the cushion like it was a wrestling match.

"Minor Healing… not much useful, but for gathering faith it's might come handy. Hm? What's this thing?"

She frowned. "It's not like I'm the real Furina, am I? Just because she's silly doesn't mean I'm silly enough to provoke trouble. And what's this about being two‑fifths of a boar? Am I really that weak? Wait… yes, I'm only level 20, and without a spirit ring it'll be hard to defeat even a ten‑year soul beast. A boar would be tougher."

Just as she was fussing and complaining, Grandpa's voice interrupted:

"Little Furina, come on food is ready! Everyone's waiting. We made many delicious dishes, especially for you."

Despite her resentment at the System's description, she got up, leaving the rest for tomorrow. "Fufu."

Next Day

"Did I forget something?" She rubbed her eyes, looking around with big watery eyes. "Maybe it wasn't important, so I didn't remember… huh, ahh."

After freshening up and finishing breakfast, she strode out of the house, ignoring the clingy family members, she was already used to it.

In the village square, where everyone gathered each morning to drink tea and discuss their daily plans, Furina was greeted warmly. Not because of yesterday's annual awakening as this was already a daily routine.

She always woke early, patrolled the village, and greeted everyone. Her cheerful presence lifted spirits and energized the day. No one disliked seeing a cute "Fufu" in the early morning. She had become the village mascot, the seventh wonder of Soul Emperor Village.

"Yo, little Furina, out on patrol?"

"Don't go near the river, it's not safe. Wait until everyone's ready for fishing."

"Little Furina, cute as always."

And the most excited of all was Furina herself, greeting everyone while hearing the System notifications:

[Faith Point: +03]

[Faith Point: +04]

[Faith Point: +06]
