Why Is My Arknights Set in the Otherworld?

[This week's story has been updated: The Fallen Noble, Liulichuan Chun]

After transmigrating to Terra, Jin Chi's System gives him everything and then some! Each week, the System picks a script from the Otherworld Rankings for Jin Chi to perform. A good performance earns rewards, and a bad one carries no penalty! What's more, Jin Chi can upload models of the animal-eared girls around him and turn them into NPCs in the weekly stories.

"I'll use this System to improve myself and support Rhodes Island's charitable work!"

"But once the script is done, the System saves a recording of this week's story. What am I supposed to do with that?"

After a slip-up, Jin Chi accidentally submits a special recording to the archive. The girls are astonished to discover that simply watching one of Jin Chi's special recordings raises their level by one. In a single night, the recording spreads across the whole island!

The next week, Jin Chi is stunned to see the NPCs from the scripted world come to life.

"What do you mean, after watching the story they starred in, they can upload their consciousness into their own models?!"

"They don't just take everything, they even grab it right out of my hands! But that's perfect, because I've got a script that calls for a fight!"
