Godslayer: A random filename extension?

As for Lin Linhou, although he seems to be training every day these days, his overall mental state is getting better and better.

The reason is simple: I finally experienced what it feels like to dream, and all of them were beautiful dreams, as if I had unconsciously traveled into stories in some perfect timelines.

Moreover, the time spent in reality is one night, but the time spent in the dream is uncertain, sometimes even several months.

Physical fatigue can be passively recovered through skills, and mental fatigue can also be fully rested in dreams.

……

"By the way, brother, have you encountered something happy lately? It seems like even your demeanor has changed a lot."

Lin Qiye said that although the horses were all smiling, Lin Linhou's smile had previously given people a fleeting feeling, as if it was too casual and indifferent, with some deliberate and coldness mixed in.

But now the smile is more genuine, a feeling of tranquility that is close to being down-to-earth and a joy that comes from the heart.

"Oh, really? Well, I have indeed encountered some happy things recently."

"It seems you have a lot of knowledge about micro-expressions."

Lin Qiye waved his hand and said there was no research involved; it was just that during his time as a blind man, he could only carefully observe the emotional changes of the people around him every day...

Without hesitation, Lin Qiye took leave and went straight to the outskirts of the city to relax. Lin Linhou was naturally dragged along, followed by Leng Xuan, who was there to protect them. However, once they left the office, Leng Xuan disappeared without a trace.

Lin Linhou guessed that the other party was probably hiding somewhere wearing a ghillie suit.

The two have now arrived at a small hill on the outskirts of the city. Although it is not high, the scenery is beautiful and it is usually visited by many people. It is said that once you reach the middle of the hill, you can see the entire city center of Cangnan and feel a sense of grandeur.

Normally, this mountain should be bustling with activity today, as it's Sunday. However, with the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays, both students and workers are being given time off, so there are very few people on the mountain now.

"It's really great. I must have been blind to never think of coming here before."

Lin Linhou: ……(ー ー゛)

Your sentence sounds grammatically incorrect because it's too literal.

After enjoying the scenery along the way, which took quite a bit of effort, the two finally reached the top of the mountain. Lin Qiye looked down at the entire city center and exclaimed that it was indeed a different feeling.

Now that my eyesight has recovered, perhaps I should really catch up on all the scenery I missed in the past.

Lin Linhou, on the other hand, had a different feeling. Although he used to enjoy gazing into the distance from a wide-angle perspective, he would go to the rooftop or the end of a long street after get off work every day.

But in the past, he always had a sense of detachment, as if "the world has nothing to do with me".

If you are in the light, your only companion will be your shadow; when the sun and moon have set, even your shadow will temporarily leave.

But things are different now, although his recent good mood comes more from his dreams.

But now, looking at it from this perspective again, that bond has quietly begun to grow.

"Could I also make the world in front of me a little better, like in my dreams?"

[Of course, I'll help you.] After all, that's why I was born.

"Hmm? System, have you finished reading your book?"

[Not yet, but soon; only the very last few chapters remain to be read.]

For the past two weeks, Lin Linhou has been focusing her energy on training and has basically adapted to her current life. Therefore, the system has instructed her to concentrate on continuing to read and not to tag her unless there is something important to discuss.

Now it seems she has almost finished reading the book.

"Really? So, does that mean you're almost there, becoming the mature and reliable system you described before, and completely leaving the newbie stage?"

[A mature and reliable system...?]

[Perhaps I still have a long way to go. Growth doesn't happen overnight. At most, I just know a little more than I did before.]

Let's not talk about this anymore.

[Lin Hou, do you remember the name Si Qingcheng?]

Lin Linhou: Hmm? emmm...

Lin Linhou pondered deeply, then shook his head after a moment.

"I don't remember it at all, but the name sounds a bit like a cliché female character in a female-oriented novel."

After all, they always like to use terms like "alluring beauty," "national beauty," or "world-shaking beauty."

It seems like they won't stop until they turn the world upside down.

┐(′-｀)┌ In addition, there are categories like "devoted to one's heart," "devoted to one's feelings," "devoted to one's joy," "devoted to one's stars," and "devoted to one's thoughts."

Lin Linhou had always wanted to complain about why the world in their eyes had to be distorted.

[......]

[You don't remember at all? Well, never mind then.]

Let's get back to the issue of mature and reliable systems.

[I want a name. Since you, Linhou, think my original name doesn't sound good, could you help me choose one? Something that starts with the surname Si.]

"That's true, it doesn't seem quite right to always address you by your formal name, but why does it have to start with the surname Si?"

[I just don't want to change my surname.]

Lin Linhou: (′?_?`)? What kind of statement is this?

But naming things is so difficult; he's terrible at it.

The key point is that the surname has not yet been determined.

The surname is Si, and the given name is... a girl... Hey! I have a great idea, how about "surname Si"?

The two characters for "girl" together form the character for "surname".

Her surname is Si, her given name is her surname, and it's a girl's given name—it's simply perfect.

"How about you just use the surname Si?"

[......]

[Not how…]

[Yes, I shouldn't have let you think about the name. I'll just choose one myself; even a random name seems more reliable than asking you, Lin Hou.]

"Wait a minute, I have another idea."

Si's words, Si... Si...

Si Ling, Si Yi, Si Er, Si Shan, Si Si, Si Wu, Si Liu, Si Qi, Si Ba, Si Jiu? Si Bai, Si Qian, Si Wan, Si Yi...

Are you counting here?

...(*￣0￣)ノ

[Why not just give her a four-character name, "Si Liu Ru Yan"?]

"Oh? Si Liu... Ru Yan? Not bad either."

('?')

[Get lost, you're the one who's like Liu Ruyan.]

(╯' - ')╯︵ ┻━┻

The system opened the window and slammed it into Lin Linhou's forehead.

Lin Linhou's sudden scream also drew the attention of Lin Qiye, who was standing nearby.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Why was it fine just now, and suddenly it's grimacing, covering its head, and crouching down in a tactical manner?

"It's nothing. I was just chatting with your system sister and it seems I made her angry."

Lin Linhou rubbed his poor head and stood up again.

Lin Qiye: ...

Got it, so he got beaten up, right?

However, Lin Qiye was quite curious. What did you say, brother, that could make that gentle system sister angry?

Afterwards, Lin Linhou also briefly explained the matter to Lin Qiye, thinking that pooling ideas might be better.

"I see. The system asked you to give her a name, a name with the surname Si... emmm..."

Lin Qiye closed his eyes, frowned, and after thinking hard for a while, he still felt his mind was blank.

Lin Qiye: Huh!? Suddenly I have an idea.

"Big brother, your name is Lin Linhou, so how about I just call myself... Si Linghou?"

This means the name sounds very young.

[......]

[Don't push me too far and I'll give you a good whack on the head too.]

The system window was suddenly visible to Lin Qiye again.

A post-2000s generation? That's more than just young; it sounds like they haven't even been born yet.

Or do you think I'm of the same generation as your motherland?

[I've figured it out; if you expect me to name a child, you'll definitely go for either the easiest or the most outrageous option.]

I'll just use random numbers myself.

Lin Linhou: ('?').

"Um, let's talk about the machine... Ouch... Hiss... It hurts, it hurts."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Linhou was hit with another slam dunk. Lin Qiye silently took two steps back to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

[Hmm... Mengqing, that's a decent name.]

[Linhou, from now on I'll be called Mengqing, what do you think?]

"Si Mengqing? It still feels a bit too cliché... Hmm! Great, great! I'll call you that from now on."

Seeing the system slowly raise the number of windows again, Lin Lin quickly changed his tune and expressed his approval.

'I'll try to find some time to go to the Shaolin Temple and copy the Iron Head Kung Fu.'

Otherwise, Lin Linhou felt that sooner or later he would be knocked stupid by the system.
