Rebirth in Another World: My Brother is an Intelligent Being

Not human? Hearing this, Li Xingchen's eyes widened, and he looked at Zero in disbelief. Then he asked with a little anticipation, "Is Brother an immortal?"

In fact, since childhood, Li Xingchen has always felt that Zero was different, and even suspected that he was the legendary immortal. However, when Zero explained the composition of the world to him, he did not mention the existence of immortals.

Facing Li Xingchen's question, Zero shook his head slightly and replied, "No."

He then fell into a brief silence, as if he was also contemplating what kind of existence he was. After about two seconds, he continued, "I was created by humans. When you were young, we were together in an experimental base, and that is where I first gained self-awareness."

After saying this, Zero looked a bit lost, as if he was still full of doubts about his identity and origins. Then, a startling scene occurred—the skin on his face began to gradually fade, revealing a layer of a mysterious, inky black substance underneath, resembling some special metallic material.

Li Xingchen was astonished to feel the changes in the little brother's body in his hands. The originally soft touch had now become slightly hard. Although it was still warm to the touch, the feeling was more like internal heating, rather than the texture of the human body.

"I seem to be able to transform into anything I want to be," Zero whispered. At this moment, Li Xingchen was surprised to find that the little brother in his arms was gradually shrinking, and eventually turned into the appearance of Xiao Hei when he was a child!

He couldn't help but reach out to touch it. The furry touch was exactly the same as the touch of Xiao Hei's hair when he was a child, just as soft and dense.

However, before Li Xingchen could utter a cry of surprise, the "Little Black" in his arms began to slowly expand again, and in the blink of an eye it turned into the appearance of Li Xingchen himself.

Li Xingchen stared blankly at the figure in front of him who looked exactly like himself, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

Well...if I were to judge my face from a child's perspective, I think it looks pretty good.

In a flash, Zero turned into a black ball again.

In the next second, the scene before him changed again, and Zero returned to his original appearance. "This is the default setting," Zero explained. "When I woke up, the system did not convey any information about my mission."

"Before the scientists who created me could even give me specific instructions, a sudden shooting occurred in that laboratory. Although I successfully killed the intruders, to be honest, I don't know whether what I did was right or wrong."

"I can remember all the information I've ever looked up. There are many outstanding scientific researchers in this world. Wealthy humans will purchase some intelligent entities with artificial intelligence to complete some of the most basic tasks."

"I think I might be one of them, or perhaps I'm different from them. I feel like I'm a complete living being, even though I don't need to eat."

"What I eat can be converted into energy. Of course, sunlight and wind can also be converted into energy." Zero slowly extended a finger and placed it between the two of them, a shimmering light emanating from the fingertip. "Moonlight can also be converted into energy."

Li Xingchen: ...

Li Xingchen stretched out his head and curled it up in the crook of Zero's shoulder. He also moved his body slightly, and hugged Zero tightly with his small hands. It was time to sleep, and he felt a little sleepy.

"Brother wants to grow up with me."

He clenched his hands again and continued, "Let's live well together in this world. If you have a mission that you must complete in the future, we can complete it together. Is that okay, brother?"

"Ah."

Expected answer.

Zero patted Li Xingchen's back gently from time to time, and slowly Li Xingchen felt sleepy.

He didn't care what his brother was, whether a god or a cyborg, Zero was the most important person to him. He wanted to travel the world with Zero.

The next morning, Li Xingchen woke up early at dawn. Perhaps because he was looking forward to this study trip, he was so excited that he slept much less than usual.

At this moment, Li Xingchen still had no idea about the strength of other children his age. Although he was quite powerful compared to his past life, he was still in this strange world. Who could say for sure if other children were even more powerful?

In this world of unknowns and mysteries, anything is possible. Li Xingchen, fully aware of the fact that there are always better people, did not become complacent with his own progress. Instead, he was eager to see the abilities of his peers so he could better gauge his own strengths and weaknesses.

The little creature in Zero's arms had already sensed his movements when it woke up, and opened its deep and mysterious eyes at the same time. Li Xingchen lingered in Zero's warm embrace like a lazy kitten for a long time before reluctantly climbing up.

While they are still young, he should rub against them more. When they grow up, there will be differences between men, and they may not be able to be so intimate anymore.

Zero then stood up and began to change his clothes.

The two looked like children of the same age, so they were dressed exactly the same - two sets of pajamas of the same style but different colors: size 0's was blue, while Li Xingchen's was green.

Fortunately, the little guy never asked about the origins of these clothes, otherwise, Zero was really worried that he would set a bad example for his child! After all, he knew that stealing was wrong in human society.

But he has no money.

What do you mean, he should become an adult and work? Of course, he could, but firstly, he has children to take care of, and secondly, he thinks it's too tedious. Even if he really wants to experience life, he wants to bring his children along.

However, if I didn't have trading coins after entering school, would it bring me some unnecessary trouble? This thought flashed through my mind, causing Zero, who was getting dressed, to pause.

He stopped what he was doing and fell into deep thought. After all, in this world, trading coins were a very important currency, and almost all transactions required them.

If he didn't have enough trading coins, he and Li Xingchen might encounter various problems at school. For example, they wouldn't be able to buy the necessary school supplies or daily necessities, or they wouldn't be able to participate in fun activities, etc. Although he didn't need them, there was no guarantee that he would need them.

A normal human being must have normal social behavior.

Li Xingchen was always quick and decisive in everything he did. He quickly changed his clothes. Seeing that Zero was still getting dressed gracefully, he decided to go out and stretch his muscles.
