"Are you sure you'll give me that thing after I tell you?"
The system seemed to have resigned itself to reality, but still asked cautiously before revealing the item's purpose.
"Don't worry! If I don't, you can just destroy everything in the warehouse."
"I know you have that capability."
To put the system at ease, Fang Er gambled all his trump cards.
"This thing, let's just say, it's awesome!"
Fang Er: .............
What's the difference between saying that and not saying it?
From your ravenous look, I could already tell!
It's just.........
That word, spoken from the mouth of this mature-sister-like system, actually had a peculiar charm!
"Big sis, stop dawdling, hurry up and tell me, okay?"
He impatiently rolled his eyes at the system.
"This thing is not a product of the three-dimensional world!"
"To be precise, it should be an entity between the third and fourth dimensions!"
Boom!
The system's words were like a thunderclap to Fang Er,
It fried him crispy on the outside and tender on the inside!
Something between the third and fourth dimensions???
His consciousness appeared in the small dark room, looking at the system in a daze and asking,
"No, explain clearly, what do you mean by an entity between the third and fourth dimensions!"
The system, upon hearing this, actually showed a nostalgic expression.
Fang Er's confusion began to slowly unravel as she spoke.
In the world where she was created, a similar cube had once been discovered.
No one knew how it came to be.
However, scientists detected immense energy within it!
It took decades to research this thing!
The system's carrier was made from a piece as small as a grain of rice.
And this was also used to blast open the barrier between parallel worlds and the main world!
This thing is very precious!
Because of its uniqueness, even in parallel worlds at the same point in time, the chance of finding a second piece is extremely slim!
"So, with this thing, I can return to the main world?"
After hearing all this, Fang Er's mood instantly became excited.
The system's expression turned somewhat melancholic, but it still nodded.
"Yes!"
"It's just that if you give this thing to me, I might be able to create a real body for myself with it!"
Fang Er: ???
Such a small piece, to create a body?
Are you kidding me?
As if sensing his doubt, the system quickly explained.
"Don't underestimate it just because it's small; if guided by special means, it can become infinitely large!"
Fang Er subconsciously looked down, feeling like her words had a double meaning...
No, I'm serious, I seem to have gone off track!
"So, if I give it to you, I won't be able to return to the main world?"
He found it difficult to make a choice.
From the perspective of righteousness, he should have chosen to return without hesitation.
After all, to complete the final mission, the first condition was to return to the main world.
But the system had accompanied him for so many years, and now, with the opportunity to become corporeal presented before him, he couldn't bear to refuse it.
"So, are you still willing to give it to me?"
The system's eyes stared intently at Fang Er, its face filled with anticipation and trepidation.
Fang Er closed his eyes, rubbing his face vigorously with his hands.
Although it was just a movement of his consciousness, it better expressed his inner struggle.
After a long time, he suddenly disappeared from the small dark room.
Seeing this, the system shook its head with a self-deprecating smile.
No one could understand how much a program, once imbued with human emotions, craved its own body!
For six years, she had been in Fang Er's mind, seeing the world through his eyes. She dreamt of the day she could experience it all as a human!
However.
From beginning to end, she was just a tool.
"Don't you trust me that much?"
Hearing this voice, the system froze. Fang Er had returned!
She looked eagerly to the outside, and saw that the cube had returned to Fang Er's actual hands!
"You, you're really willing to give it to me?"
Her voice choked up, and a few data points transformed into tears, falling from the corners of her eyes.
Fang Er walked over and sat beside her with a smile, then skillfully lifted her chin with his index finger.
"I still have one hundred and ninety-four years to search!"
"Where there's one, there's another. Besides, aren't there other parallel worlds?"
"Moreover, I really want to try if you'll still be as uninhibited after you get a body!"
By the end, the smile on his face had turned lewd.
Like the Big Bad Wolf spotting Little Red Riding Hood...
The system raised a hand to wipe away its tears, breaking into a smile.
"Do you want to experience the thrill of character creation?"
"Just like in games!"
"Yes! Whoever says no is a grandson!"
Fang Er immediately became excited. Who would miss out on such a good thing?
"Then you go out first, I need to prepare."
Fang Er nodded with a smile and then disappeared.
His physical body outside opened its eyes. Looking at the cube in his hand, it felt like a dream.
Yuan Tiangang..........
Hehehehe, you actually did something good!
Glancing at the others around him still searching for meteorite fragments, he casually released a gold prospecting boat, waved to Li Xiaogong, and slipped away.
This kind of thing was better done in a private place.
Heading west, out of the African continent, three hours later, he landed on a deserted island in the Atlantic.
He didn't know what the system was preparing, and it wasn't until nightfall that she said they could begin.
This cube couldn't be stored in the warehouse, perhaps because the system's core was made of the same material.
The process was simple, but it made Fang Er somewhat unbearable.
He only needed to hold the cube with both hands, while the system continuously adjusted the current and voltage, transmitting it through his body to the cube.
At first, there was no unusual feeling; after all, he had been electrocuted countless times over the years.
But gradually, he could smell the scent of burning hair.
"You're not going to sacrifice me to the heavens, are you?"
"Don't worry, if you die, I'll be buried with you!"
Fang Er: ..............
Time passed slowly. By the third watch of the night, the island was shrouded in darkness.
But he was like a little sun in the night, his entire body enveloped in blinding electric arcs!
The animals on the island, driven by their instinct to seek light, approached him, but as soon as they touched him, they instantly collapsed.
If later netizens saw this scene, a flood of bullet comments would surely drown him!
This was a scene of tribulation, plain and simple!
