Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 100 Knowledge of Dynamical Systems
When I looked at the other person's phone, I saw my electronic ID card file. My name was Ding Han, my address was Tengshan City, Jiangning Province, and even my ID number was clearly displayed.

"What's wrong, Ding Han?" Cheng Shuang asked.

I then realized that my earlier reaction of surprise was inappropriate, so I laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't expect that information technology is so advanced now, that you can confirm my identity with just a photo."

"Isn't this normal?"

Cheng Shuang chuckled lightly, without saying anything more.

Shortly afterward, the government staff member in charge of taking photos left, accompanied by Cheng Shuang. I lay quietly on the hospital bed, lost in deep thought.

Is the "me" in Tengshan City really the same "me" in front of me?
If so, and I took over this body through the Star Abyss system, then where did the original "me" go?
Furthermore, this also overturned my original assumptions.

At first, I thought that every player entering the Star Abyss world would be a completely new individual, a person created through cloning or nutritional elements to reshape their body, and would have no connection with the characters in the Star Abyss world.

Now it seems I was completely wrong. Perhaps every player in the Star Abyss world has a "prototype".

This is a big question, and we'll discuss it in detail later, exploring the deeper secrets behind it, which may be helpful for the future "origins" of many of our players.

……

"Ding Han".

Cheng Shuang returned and said, "The doctor said your recovery is going very well. He told me to take you around to keep you in a good mood so you can recover faster. You can't walk very far yet, so I had a friend send over a wheelchair. Starting tomorrow, after breakfast, I'll push you around the streets and let you see the sights of Jiangning City."

"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you, Cheng Shuang?" I asked, feeling a little embarrassed.

"What's the trouble?"

She smiled slightly: "Just be a good boy and listen to me, and I'll take care of everything."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Ok!"

……

The next day.

Cheng Shuang arrived early, bringing breakfast as usual: spicy soup with fried dough sticks, and even two baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).

After the two finished eating, the head nurse pushed in a brand-new wheelchair and said with a smile, "Ms. Cheng, would you like us to send two nurses to accompany you?"

"Need not."

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "I can take good care of him, don't worry."

"All right……"

The head nurse smiled and said, "Director Li said that we just need to be back at the hospital before 7 p.m., because he needs to do a rehabilitation check-up for the patients at 7:30 p.m."

"Ok!"

So, I took a few steps with difficulty and sat steadily in the wheelchair. Cheng Shuang then studied the structure of the wheelchair and pushed me out of the sanatorium.

Fallen leaves rolled down the street.

Jiangning City is a city with a large number of sycamore trees. The weather is nice today, and the warm sunshine makes people feel cozy.

"Ding Han, are you cold?" Cheng Shuang asked from behind.

"not cold."

I shook my head and said, "Where are we going?"

"Go to a place that makes you feel happy."

Cheng Shuang smiled mysteriously and said, "It's one of my secret bases. It's not far, we'll be there soon."

"All right……"

Soon after, she pushed me into a street, a commercial street, which was densely packed with all kinds of cafes, bars, guesthouses, etc. A few minutes later, Cheng Shuang pushed me into a cat cafe.

The street was bustling with commercial activity, and the pet cafe was in a pretty good location, but perhaps it was too early, so there weren't many customers.

I glanced around and noticed that the coffee shop was quite well-designed. The window seats were filled with flowers, while several lazy cats were lounging on the tables, basking in the sun without a care in the world. No wonder Cheng Shuang said this was a place that could make people feel happy; it seemed to be true.

"What do you want to drink?"

"I'm not particular."

I smiled and said, "I'll drink whatever you drink, as long as it's the same."

"it is good."

Cheng Shuang ordered two relatively weak coffees, probably because she was worried that coffee would put too much strain on my body.

After that, she took out a camera from the bag hanging behind her wheelchair and started taking pictures of the cats in the store, using various framing and focusing techniques with great professionalism.

With nothing to do, I sipped my coffee, basked in the warmth of the sun, and watched the people coming and going outside, feeling quite content.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, in a fleeting moment, I seemed to see a familiar figure.

I subconsciously left my seat and limped out of the coffee shop. Standing in the cold wind, I looked to my right. Just now, I clearly saw a woman wearing a winter coat. Although I couldn't see her face, her profile looked exactly like someone else's.

Lin Qingying.

Besides her, I don't know anyone else in the world with such a beautiful profile; her temperament is unique.

But how did she end up in Jiangning City?
Unfortunately, the commercial street had a large flow of people, and her figure disappeared in the blink of an eye amidst the comings and goings of people.

"what happened?"

Cheng Shuang hurriedly came out, afraid that I would fall, and supported my wrist.

"It looks like I've seen someone I know."

My gaze continued to wander through the bustling crowd, but unfortunately, I didn't see her again.

"I might have misread it."

I smiled and said, "Let's go inside and sit in the sun."

"Ah."

Cheng Shuang helped me back into the coffee shop, then placed a Ragdoll cat in my arms and said with a smile, "This one is so well-behaved and very affectionate. Petting it for a while will make you feel much better."

"is it?"

As I was petting the cat, the ragdoll in my arms suddenly started purring and rubbed its head against my arm. It was indeed a very well-behaved kitten.

Cheng Shuang sat down, took a sip of coffee, and smiled, "That person you mistook for someone else must be very important to you, right?" "I don't know."

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Perhaps."

"Ding Han".

Cheng Shuang pointed to the bookshelf next to her and said with a smile, "This pet cafe has a lot of world classics. Would you like to take a look?"

"A classic..."

I nodded: "Okay, just give me any book, something heartwarming, the kind with sweet romance."

"Then I'll look for it."

Cheng Shuang got up and turned her back to search on the bookshelf.

Her back view was beautiful, with jet-black hair flowing like a waterfall and a perfectly proportioned hourglass figure.

Ultimately, she found love amidst the war, but it wasn't sweet.

That's true, they're all classic novels, they're all so heart-wrenching, there's no reason for them to have sweet romance.

Then, I suddenly thought of something and said, "Cheng Shuang, can you do me a favor?"

"Well, you said."

She started tasting sweets.

"I'm looking for a book on 'Fundamentals of Dynamical Systems,' but I guess you can't find this kind of technical book in regular bookstores. Could you help me?"

"About knowledge about dynamical systems?"

Cheng Shuang said, "You guessed right. Our Red Dragon Kingdom has very strict control over books on cutting-edge technology. These books are not available on the market and are basically only found in universities. However, I have a classmate who teaches at Jiangning University of Science and Technology. I can ask him to help me get a copy. It shouldn't be too difficult."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!"

"You're welcome."

She made a phone call, calling the other person "senior brother" with a smile, and then mentioned the book on basic dynamics. The senior brother immediately agreed without hesitation, and even asked if she wanted to come back and visit during the school's centennial celebration.

"It's done!"

Cheng Shuang put down her phone and smiled, "I should be able to get it by tomorrow at the latest."

"Yeah, thanks!"

I chuckled. The reason I need this book is that as my career progresses, I will eventually come into contact with high-level equipment such as power swords, power armor, and chainsaw swords. One of the conditions for repairing and maintaining this equipment is to have basic knowledge of "Power Systems" and to have a high skill level. In addition, this skill enhances mental strength, which is also essential for me.

My experience fighting against Dark Tide's psionicists several times has taught me that high spirit is not a bad thing for physical attackers; on the contrary, it can often be a lifesaver.

Where should we eat lunch?

Cheng Shuang smiled and said, "There are many famous private restaurants around here. Would you like to try some? I'll take you to have a taste of the local cuisine!"

"Okay..."

I laughed and said, "I'm from out of town and know nothing about local cuisine, so I'll leave the food to you!"

"Yes, I've got it covered."

Cheng Shuang held up her camera: "Let me take a picture of you and the cat, look here."

"Crack!"

I took a photo with the kitten in my arms.

……

At noon, we ate at a private restaurant deep in the street. Just as Cheng Shuang had said, the food was quite delicious and professional. There weren't many customers, and Cheng Shuang and I were the only two people on the second floor. We ate our fill.

In the afternoon, Cheng Shuang pushed an empty cart, and I walked alongside her for a short distance.

"Ding Han".

Cheng Shuang turned to look at me and said, "I've always had a question in my mind: why did my brother pass on the inheritance of the Wind Riding Sword to you?"

"Perhaps because..."

I frowned and said, "I'm lucky; I awakened something called the Yuan Power Furnace within my body, while Brother Cheng Feng doesn't have one. So he thinks I have potential, that's about it..."

"That's it..."

Cheng Shuang seemed to be thinking about something, and after a few seconds asked again, "Have you practiced marksmanship?"

"I've practiced, and my marksmanship is passable."

"Really?"

Cheng Shuang looked pleasantly surprised: "Then you have to do me a favor, as a way of repaying the favor I did for treating you to dinner."

"Oh?"

I was surprised: "What kind of help do you need? Just tell me!"

"No rush, you'll know when you get there."

……

Ten minutes later, the two appeared at a balloon shooting stall in a nearby square. The balloons came in various sizes, and the cunning, unscrupulous owner controlled the shooting distance to be quite far, at which distance the air gun bullets would definitely drift.

"Last time, I fired twenty shots and missed a single one. I was so angry..."

Cheng Shuang looked unconvinced and said, "You try it, just shoot the blue balloons. I want to shoot the water turtle."

"Young man, want to give it a try?"

The boss greeted me warmly, but when he saw the bandages on my body, a mocking look immediately appeared on his face, which was very unpleasant.

"Boss, we'll buy fifty bullets."

Cheng Shuang took out one hundred yuan.

"Do we need that many?"

I turned to look at her and said, "Just buy ten. Give me three to try and fail, and I guarantee the next seven will hit the target every time!"

"Is he a young man?"

The boss laughed and said, "Don't exaggerate too much and embarrass yourself in front of your girlfriend..."
