Xueba at the same table from the future

Chapter 253 The Heart of Machinery
Chen Mu didn't have this dream for a long time, but he soon forgot the content of the dream.

So much so that after he woke up from Li Xinxi's lap, he just stared at the girl's small face in a daze.

As for Li Xinxi, she didn't say a word during the whole process, and just took Chen Mu who had lost her soul back home.

When he was so dazed, the day came to September NO.13, which was the opening time of the new level of the game.

A ray of sunlight in the morning shone on Chen Mu's side face through the half-drawn curtains. He rubbed his head, which hadn't recovered from his senses in the past two days, and climbed out of the big bed unsteadily to the first floor.

On the clean and bright dining table, he lifted the cover of the plate, and there was a steaming egg pancake with chopped green onion inside.

Chen Mu took a sip, then shook his head bitterly, and swallowed it with the principle of not wasting food.

"Hey, Xixi, why did you put so much salt today? It's too salty."

Chen Mu looked around the room for the figure of the culprit, but in the end he only found a note with a playful smiling face on it in the refrigerator.

"Hehehe silly dog, are you very angry today, but no matter how angry you can't find me, because I went out to play early."

"Who told you that you haven't looked energetic these two days, and you have to use a knee pillow to sleep, right? I'm not used to you ￣へ￣."

Li Xinxi's message was still in the usual mischievous tone, which made Chen Mu swallow the rest of the omelette in anger.

no way.

No matter how naughty this little squirrel is, it still belongs to his own family, and he must get used to it when it should be used to it.

As for her whereabouts, Chen Mu, who had come to the courtyard to set up the easel, was not worried, anyway, she would always go home before dark.

This was the rule that Li Xinxi set for Chen Mu, but because Chen Mu was in charge of the dinner later, she became the one to abide by.

The little squirrel's play track is not fixed, but it is always in this small town, taking pictures of the weeds and flowers blooming in a daze.

Chen Mu stretched lazily, and then started today's painting work, and didn't stop until the sun was too dazzling at noon.

He sent a message to Li Xinxi, but got a reply that he would not go home for lunch, so Chen Mu had no choice but to comfort his own Wu Zang Temple.

When eating alone, he tentatively turned on the anxiety bonus he obtained the day before for a moment, but fell into a strange state of confusion again.

But just when he closed it in a panic, some blocked memories seemed to have been opened through a small hole, turning into a ray and pouring into Chen Mu's mind.

It was a very strange feeling of worry, its intensity was even stronger than when he first obtained the ability, and it made his eyes burst into tears.

"A long time ago, I fought a rabbit because of Xixi, and even broke the sky?"

Chen Mu shook his head, and while turning off his ability, he dismissed the absurd idea in his mind, and took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket.

It has been a long time since the drawing practice in the morning, and now he is full and has nothing to do. He plans to pick up the game that he hasn't opened for a long time.

The exercised flexible fingers moved left and right on the buttons, and quickly clicked on the familiar locomotive game icon, hovering on the start interface.

"Ding! Do you want to enable the game assistance mode?", the familiar mechanical sound of the system came from Chen Mu's ears again, but he did not immediately agree.

"Xiao Jiu, come out and explain, here... why is there a game option added, this should not be a function of the game itself."

Chen Mu looked past the [Game Start] and [Exit Game] options, and moved the cursor to the newly appeared [Game Level Progress] on the third line.

"Ding! The hidden code at the bottom of the game was detected, and the system has been supplemented and improved during this period. I hereby charge 15 value points as a discount."

Xiao Jiu's voice rang in Chen Mu's ear very quickly, leaving almost no time for Chen Mu to respond and explain.

"Xiao Jiu, I can't kidnap you again, are you afraid of a ball?"

Chen Mu tried to talk to Xiao Jiu again, but in the end he only got an unusually indifferent reply.

"My lord reminds me to reduce all unnecessary contact with the host. The host's current value point balance: 21"

"In these days, even the system not only learns to buy and sell by force, but also fears being tricked by the host."

Chen Mu sighed lightly, and then clicked on the new function button that Xiao Jiu said.

"The game progress level function will display the game collection rate of each level as a percentage, and the video playback function will be turned on when the main line collection rate of each level reaches 70%."

Xiao Jiu's voice rang from Chen Mu's ear again, explaining this new function to him in great detail.

"70%? Open the video playback function?" Chen Mu glanced at each level on the list.

Not surprisingly, thanks to Chen Mu's control over the details of the game, each level has reached the line of 70% collection rate, and the most recent level [Captive Surgery] has reached 90%.

In contrast, the first level of the game [Warfront] has the lowest collection rate, barely reaching the bottom line of 70%.

Chen Mu tried to turn it on, and what was reflected in his eyes was the bright red locomotive running in a panic in the beast tide.

"Xiao Jiu, what will happen if the collection rate reaches [-]?" Chen Mu decisively closed the game video after not watching it for a long time.

"It will make people with OCD comfortable."

"..."

"So this video replay is specially used to appreciate my own embarrassment in the game? Something is wrong, right?"

Chen Mu was silent for a few seconds, and then exited this tasteless game function interface cursing.

But when the cursor moved to the [Start Game] button, he was slightly dazed for some reason.

At some point in time, the system began to set various strange restrictions on the game, which seemed to be deliberately delaying Chen Mu's progress in the game.

But this new function added this time, if used properly, can increase the clearance rate of the next game through the replay system, which is a good assistance.

He now has some doubts in his heart, whether the system's guidance for his game is based on the difficulty of the game.

If judged based on this, then the second half of the game is estimated to be much more difficult than the first few levels, in every sense.

thought here.

Chen Mu couldn't help but blinked twice, took another sip of the water on the side, and then moved the cursor to the start option again.

"Ding! The auxiliary mode of the fifth level of the mechanical heart has been activated. I wish the host a good balance between work and rest, and enjoy the game."

When the mechanical sound of the system disappeared from Chen Mu's ears again, the familiar electronic screen also appeared in front of the boy.

"Number Four used to love fighting with Number Seven—" the game's opening words read.

In a room full of various complicated instruments, Li Xixin was busy adjusting a bottle of reagents in front of him.

"The preparation of the A-CH223 reagent has been completed, but it has not achieved the expected effect. It consumes 0.002 of the life source quality in stock."

At the moment when the operation was completed, various data of the bottle of gray-colored reagent were quickly reflected on the wall in front of him, and a corresponding judgment was made at the end.

"It's been more than ten days, and you still haven't finished this bottle of reagent? It seems that I still think highly of you."

A cold voice came from his side, with a very obvious look of disdain.

Li Xixin did not choose to ignore it, but continued to fiddle with the reagents in his hand.

"Actually, I don't understand until now. No. [-], you have been conducting such experiments. What is the ultimate purpose?"

"For humanity."

A pair of mechanical arms took the bottle of reagent from his hand, and poured it neatly into the side waste bin.

"For human beings? Do you really think I don't know the source of the source of life? According to the reserves of your laboratory, most of the source of life is probably here."

"There is no majority, only seven percent of the whole world." No. [-] was not frightened by the indifference on Li Xinxi's face at all.

"With our current level of technology, the mechanical creatures we can create still cannot reach the level of eliminating the Sovereign Level Pole Devouring Beast."

"I can't do it either. You don't want me to do this kind of thing. I'm tired of killing."

Li Xixin resumed the operation with a blank face, and responded very quickly.

"I didn't tell you to come, how could I be willing to let you, the most sophisticated experimental subject, participate in this kind of thing."

The shouting voice at the side suddenly became frivolous, but it made Li Xixin frowned in displeasure.

"You are indeed a lunatic. Not only are you crazy about manipulating life, but now you even want to control people's hearts."

"You don't need to use this method to provoke me. I'd rather use the black knife to dig carrots, and I don't want it to be stained with the blue blood of disgusting creatures like polar beasts."

"I repeat again, I really don't have the idea of ​​letting you go out to fight again. After all, I still can't bear to think about it."

"It's because my body hasn't been cultivated yet. Even running, which used to be easy, has become difficult now." Li Xixin showed disdain.

"No matter what you say, I, a prisoner, have no right to refute with you."

"after all……"

Li Xixin's voice was a little lower: "Based on what I have learned about these reagents in the past few months, you should have used a lot of hoarded life essence to save me back then."

"Haha, smart."

No. [-]'s pair of mechanical eyes turned around treacherously, "But to be precise, now we are not a relationship between a captive and a master. More accurately, it should be a relationship between a creditor and a debtor."

"Because of the operation a few months ago, almost half of the life source stored in the entire laboratory was consumed. Now, just making a bottle of such a simple reagent can consume two-thousandths of it."

"The source of life, the cleanest energy in the human body, is also the most filthy and evil energy." Four Hao sighed softly: "Even now, it can only be preserved in liquid form."

"As for the entity that can get more in touch with the source of this material, it is still far away."

"What will happen if the source of life is solidified into a solid body?" Li Xixin seemed to be moved, and looked at the source quality corresponding to the level of the extreme devourer displayed on the screen in front of him again.

"According to the laboratory's computer speculation, something in a strange state will be formed, the rudiment of time in the physical state, I prefer to call it the time source."

"Time source quality?"

Li Xixin seemed to be a little puzzled, but No. [-] did not continue on this topic.

"How is it? It has been a few months since the operation, can you feel the changes in your body now?"

"Feeling...", Li Xixin blinked twice: "The body's perception of the surrounding environment has obviously increased, and the duration of the ability lasts."

"As expected, you haven't given up on using your powers yet." No. [-] took a half step back stiffly: "This is... the answer to your question just now."

"Compressing something like the source of life to the extreme will form a prototype of time that can affect the surrounding environment."

"You mean... are you still using me as an experimental product?" Li Xixin stopped her movements, and the coldness between her brows became even more serious.

"At that time... there was no other way, if you want to revive you in that state." No. [-] took a few steps back.

"If you get down to it, you should be able to hear a ticking like a clock, and that's the most noticeable change."

"Through that operation, I replaced the most important organ in your body, the heart, and replaced it with a mechanical wrap of the source of life."

"Different from the source of life used in general laboratories, the source of life in this super-compressed state is infinitely close to the source of time, and this is the only turning point."

"I owe you a debt—" Li Xixin quietly listened to the long series of words from No. [-], and then softened her face.

"But this kind of thing is not the reason why I can kill the Sovereign-level Pole Devourer for you. If I work in the laboratory to death, it will almost be enough to pay off."

"Actually, it's not just for these reagents that you see in front of your eyes to clean up the polar devouring beasts in this world."

Seeing the cold expression on Li Xixin's face again, Si Hao sighed lightly, as if there was nothing he could do about the woman in front of him.

"No. [-], with your IQ, it shouldn't be difficult to guess what this kind of time source can do." This time, it was an extremely serious question and answer tone.

"What can you do? Could it be possible to go back in time?"

In the middle of speaking, Li Xixi's eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at the side four in surprise.

"Is this the reason why you have been so crazy all this time?"

"The Great Nirvana destroyed human civilization, and at the same time gave mankind hope." The tone of the trumpets was much more serious.

"Actually, before the appearance of the Pole Devourer, I have already speculated that if there is no new energy generation, human beings will perish in the next few centuries."

"Before the discovery of new habitable planets, there is no other way to restore this situation, but unfortunately, we have not discovered new habitable planets until now."

"That is to say...the only way is to use this strange time source after the destruction to bring everything back to the beginning."

"All sentient beings have their original existence."

"Perfect and pure, the same as Nirvana."
