Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

"...After the system upgrade, although the energy required has increased, the speed of collecting and converting energy has increased a lot." Fu Fu had tears in the corners of her eyes, and there was a red and swollen mark in the middle of her forehead.

She knelt down opposite Bai Yu and explained aggrievedly, "Also, the upper limit of the compressed ether energy that the system can store has increased.

Originally, we stayed in the void every day, and the energy provided by the system's round-the-clock conversion of ether energy could only be equal to our daily consumption.

Energy can be stored for a maximum of two hours a day, and that is when there is no combat and the system does not need to adjust physical values.

Now, if we fill the void with compressed ether, the system can convert two days of energy outside, directly increasing the efficiency by 1.5 times.

In this way, the emotional energy we obtain in our daily lives can be directly stored.

The appearance data adjustment that Xiaobai has been longing for and the newly discovered VR combat training ground can all be realized."

"Huh~ This is really good news." Bai Yu, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his arms folded, could finally put his worries aside after hearing this.

Their energy consumption has always been high. Even at their peak energy reserves, they hadn't lasted more than twenty-five days.

It was only because they discovered the fixed and guaranteed energy source of "Ether" at the beginning that Bai Yu and his team had time to slowly improve their strength instead of struggling for survival.

But this only maintains the status quo. The main source of energy storage still relies on the income of emotional energy, but the accumulation is slow.

And from time to time, there are unexpected situations where they have to enter battle to save people, which further consumes their reserve energy.

Therefore, due to a sense of crisis and realistic conditions, Bai Yu's desire to adjust his body appearance data has been stranded until now and has not been realized.

But now after the system upgrade, the income from ether energy alone has doubled.

Not only do they no longer need to stay in the cave for a long time, they can also have more energy income, and their available time and range of activities will be greatly increased.

Bai Yu’s follow-up plans can also be put on the agenda.

"Increased free time and energy income are both good things, but we can't relax too much yet.

Because in the future, we will need to consume energy in more places. "Bai Yu was a little happy and began to make plans as usual. "Let's not talk about today's incident where the system suddenly consumed a large amount of reserve energy.

Regarding VR simulated combat, even if we borrow the club's database, it will cost a lot to run it.

Moreover, due to our lack of strength, the holes we entered and exited were all small accompanying holes.

Although there were a few battles, most of them were for the purpose of escaping and avoiding the dead.

But when the play of "Fate" is performed in the future, if we want to step onto the stage of "Fate", we must have the strength to do so.

You can't be like Awoo, a fixed NPC who acts cute and earns energy.

We can't give players Dingni, Feilin, or add buffs to their characters.

Now that Phaethon and his sister have moved to Sixth Street, we have little time to prepare.

Even with this calculation, the energy is still not enough..."

Suddenly Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, because while thinking about how to step onto the stage of "Destiny", he discovered a blind spot in his past thinking.

"Fufu, I remember you said we were "smugglers", right?" Bai Yu raised his head and asked seriously, "Because from the beginning you told me that you needed me to become a popular character,

This made me subconsciously overlook one thing.

As "stowaways," we appear under the watchful eye of the "World Will" and participate in the "performance of fate."

Is it true that we won’t be discovered and kicked out?”

"Stupid Xiaobai, you never asked this question before, I thought you knew it a long time ago.

But just now, you actually called yourself a parasite, which really pissed me off!" Fu Fu put her hands on her hips, looking as if Bai Yu was hopeless, and explained angrily, "Although we are "smugglers", the [World Consciousness] didn't discover you immediately and shut you out.

Then in the future, as long as Xiaobai doesn't jump out and self-destruct, or forcibly change the course of his fate, such as going to Liufen Street now to kill the Phaethon brothers and sisters.

He won't notice anything wrong with you.

What really cannot be discovered by the [World Consciousness] is actually the system!!

Without the protection of the host contract, I will confuse the detection of the [World Will]. The moment I appear in the eyes of the "Child of Destiny", I will be expelled from this world!

What else are you saying? Let me gather my emotional energy!?"

"...So that's how it is?!" Bai Yu raised his head, laughed dryly, and dodged away guiltily, angrily accusing Fu Fu of him.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid!!" Fu Fu became angrier and angrier. She reached out and pulled Bai Yu by the collar, then touched his forehead and said angrily, "I've already said that the host is very important to the system!

You actually said that. If Xiaobai is a parasite, then what am I, who depends on Xiaobai for protection?!

Apologize to yourself now! Tell me: Xiaobai is the most important, Xiaobai is the best in the world!

"... Let's talk about the characters first!" Bai Yu pressed Fu Fu's forehead and pushed her away with a red face. Bai Yu really couldn't bring himself to say such self-praising words.

"No, this matter is very important! Don't try to change the subject!" Fu Fu puffed up her face like a pufferfish and stared at Bai Yu very seriously.

"I really know I was wrong. I promise to tell you in a moment. Let's get down to business first." Bai Yu put his hands together and raised them above his head, making a gesture of begging. He begged Fu Fu to have mercy on him and let him go first.

“Hmph! (.?`w′?)

...Xiaobai's consciousness comes from a higher-level world, and its inherent weight is higher than that of ordinary "native residents".

Naturally, you are qualified to perform on the "stage of destiny".

As I just said, as long as we don't forcibly change the direction of "fate", then after the play begins, all the reasonable actions we make will be automatically woven into the script and become part of the "performance".

And the unreasonable parts will be corrected and eliminated by "fate".

Therefore, Xiaobai’s efforts to obtain formal resident status have been a very correct choice.

This not only affects our daily lives, but also affects the world’s acceptance of us.”

"...Does it have to be performed exactly as 'fate's script'? What degree of modification is allowed?" Bai Yu frowned and asked, "If we encounter someone else's misfortune in the future, do I have to watch helplessly?"

"Don't worry about that, Xiaobai. The [Trunk of Destiny] cannot be changed by outsiders like us."

The only one who can make a choice for "fate" is [Phaethon].

But relatively speaking, when it comes to trivial matters, as long as Xiaobai wants to do it and can do it, it doesn’t matter.

Xiaobai just needs to ensure the "reasonableness" of his appearance, not overdoing it, and being noticed by the [World Consciousness].

"I see. That puts my mind at ease. I'll be careful." Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed. "Then let's put the matter of the 'performance' aside for now," he said.

Now is not the time to think about this. The most important thing right now is energy.

Although I feel a little sorry for Susan's concern, let's set off for the cave now.

I just hope I can get back before Susan wakes up."

"Speaking of this!" Fu Fu clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Xiao Bai, the system has unlocked a new function. Do you want to try it?"

"Huh? What kind of new function?" Bai Yu looked at Fu Fu, who was inexplicably excited, in confusion.

"Hehe~That's it..." Fu Fu grabbed Bai Yu's hand with a wicked smile, and their two constructed bodies began to decompose at the same time.

The golden data stream spun and disintegrated, and the figures of Fu Fu and Bai Yu completely disappeared in the room.
