Who gave you permission to travel through time with Earth?

[The Star Eater... The host planet has recovered by 0.4%, and detection indicates the presence of life and energy levels. The planet's time and space will gradually regain their activity as the host becomes stronger.]

This was arguably the best news Fang Jin had heard since that nightmare. Hope was so close to him; as long as he continued to grow, he would eventually have a chance to return home…

"...But isn't this taking a little too long?"

The Star Eater has just recovered by 0.4%, but this is the value after Fang Jin was captured by the system. He did not experience any improvement in the four dungeons, at most he just became familiar with the Furnace mode.

Evolution points are needed to revive a damaged planet, whether by investing in level upgrades or by using Star Eaters to directly repair the planet.

Of course, there's no need to be so narrow-minded. The rewards from dungeons can also accelerate the recovery process, although they only benefit talents and won't change your level itself...

But at least there's something to look forward to.

"And then what is a positive bias? Compared to evolution points, this is pitifully small..."

Fang Jin continued casually, saying that everything had been good since the final test was completed. He was even a little worried that after giving them the sweet treats, it might be time to stick things out...

"Because this is a mechanism unique to outsiders."

"..."

"What do you mean?"

They actually came. Fang Jin's voice suddenly turned cold. He had guessed that the main star system would have methods to restrain stowaways, after all, no matter how many tests they conducted, they weren't his own people... but he never expected it to be this direct.

"All outsiders who pass the test will initially receive a small-scale memory correction, allowing you to seamlessly integrate into the life you've been given, but this process will ultimately not be recognized by the world."

"A positive bias means that the system assigns you the power to deceive the world's will. A single positive bias can maintain memory correction for a year. If the positive bias is reset to zero, your identity will be exposed immediately."

"Furthermore, as your player level increases, your existence will be increasingly noticed by the world's will, requiring a greater amount of positive bias, and increasing the likelihood of being exposed and expelled."

"Please don't misunderstand, player. The hostility the main star system harbored towards you has been cleared. This is the price you have to pay for deceiving the heavens... and for buying and selling."

"..."

Upon hearing the last sentence, Fang Jin almost burst out laughing. He quickly popped a few mints into his mouth, using the intense coolness to suppress the malice boiling in his mind.

Indeed, he would be foolish to think that the system has completely changed its nature. Outsiders are always unstable elements, so how can we let them just put on a disguise and barge into the flock?

Fang Jin had already devised a method to restrain the system. In any case, everything revolved around the positive value. As long as the output was controlled, the system could hold the outsider's lifeline, and in the process, it would kill off a few of the control units.

Just like...

What are the methods for earning positive returns?

"Break into the detached state of the instance, or kill other outsiders and directly seize their positive and negative values."

"……really."

Fang Jin waved his hand helplessly. You Liben was on the verge of death... Damn it, he only earned thirteen points of positive value. The way he killed his comrades was even more obvious, all of which directly or indirectly reduced the number of outsiders.

Thus, the biased positive value becomes a sharp sword that is always hovering over the heads of outsiders. In order to prevent the thin thread hanging from the hilt from suddenly breaking, they must always keep their heads down and abide by the rules.

"...So now, please answer me immediately." But then his tone abruptly changed, his gaze fixed on the system panel, and he spoke quickly, as if interrogating someone.

"Can we proactively spend positive values?"

"..."

"...Okay, a slightly positive value means a certain degree of distortion of reality. Active consumption can alter memories, correct errors, and change matter... Zzzzzzzzz—"

His last few words were cut off by background noise, clearly indicating that the information exceeded the AI's authority and was immediately stopped after being detected by the monitoring mechanism.

However, in addition to learning how to use the positive value, Fang Jin also confirmed that the system was not mixed with the will of a real person, otherwise this sentence would not have been said in the first place.

"...It's a double-edged sword that's too sharp."

Fang Jin rubbed his temples, suddenly realizing how fortunate he was that he hadn't tried to seize Lu Chen's identity. After all, identities similar to the Jin brothers were quite common, and he still had a chance to "hide."

The so-called Lu family, who can provide two pieces of equipment to novice players at once, are still very obvious targets even if they have a small-scale memory correction, and it is actually quite easy to find them.

Smugglers who know of each other's existence and that the other does indeed possess a certain degree of positive or negative value become each other's reserve of "food" from the moment they part ways.

"Furthermore, after receiving the memory correction... it's uncertain whether the persona I'm wearing will still bear the surname Jin. If even the last clue is lost, how is she supposed to find me in a sea of ​​people?"

Although these are things that will happen much later, they have just come out of the detached world and their biases and positive values ​​are quite high, so it is enough to be careful in this regard.

"..."

"Alright, that's about it for now..."

Having grasped all the basic information, Fang Jin decided not to stay in the simulated space. After all, the information one could obtain by working in isolation was limited, and some things could not be understood simply by looking at the archives.

He even planned to wait until later to draw his second talent. The quality of the talent would have to be judged after he officially entered the player community. If he had a choice, he didn't want to make a mistake.

To be honest... Fang Jin was really fed up with this lousy place. Even if he changed the setting to a sunny beach, the wind blowing in from the other side of the sea was mixed with dust and cold air from the air conditioner...

"Hurry up and leave, hurry up and leave."

Fang Jin stood up impatiently. A corner of the simulated space had already quietly changed. Inside the technology room filled with optical glass slides, an old but clean and flat wooden door had appeared.

The wooden door symbolizes Jin Fugui's life. Opening the door means taking over his past. This is also the only way the system allows outsiders to enter the main world; otherwise, they would be locked up in the simulated space for a lifetime.

Fang Jin grasped the familiar brass handle, feeling a surge of emotion. How long had it been since he had stood firmly on the ground since leaving Earth?

Behind the door was a complete society, a completely new other world. This was more stimulating to Fang Jin's nerves than any mint. He finally turned the handle gently, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the door.
