“What do I need this for? It’s quite a useless reward if you ask me about it.” Jin said as he barely lost his breath from that current fight. Compared to the ruthless faceless soldiers in Suzaku’s endless battlefield, the trial from the System was like a walk in the park.
“Incorrect. The System believed it would prove to be very useful to you.” The System replied. “User knows how the System is intricately connected to the User, correct?”
“Yeah. But what does…Hmm.” Jin was not very sure where the System was going with that route of explanation and decided to let it finish its sentence. At the same time, he was already thinking that there might be something else.
“Maybe it could help you with the problem you had?” Lynn, who was watching from the sidelines, offered her deduction which was in this case, similar to what Jin had thought.
“Affirmative. The System might not be able to enter the User’s subconscious but the User’s phone had been used to store any information you had encountered. It is like a monitoring device to ensure that the User has a stable connection with the System. Thus, we believed that even though you had fallen into the realm of your subconscious, the phone is able to record what you had experienced before.”
“Isn’t that a more pervasive form of stalking?” Jin sighed and scratched his head, wondering if this was a good thing.
“The System hoped that the User would think it is more of a help rather than an invasive procedure.”
“Actually, Jin. Why worry so much? The System had already crept into your life and read your activities like an open book. What’s another level of intrusion of privacy matters to you? As much as you are frustrated by it, you are benefitting from its stalking behaviour.” Lynn said as she had already given up.
“Listen to your new girlfriend.” The System supported Lynn’s argument.
“Besides, if what the System said is true, you might actually be able to compile what you had seen through your cultivation process. It might be even more useful for you.” Lynn added.
“The problem is, what if it does not? The System would then try something even more invasive.” Jin shrugged. “Maybe one day it would involve putting a chip in my brain or something.”
“The System does not need to rely on that. As the System had already discovered that during your cultivation process, there was an intensive amount of information exchange within your brain. Thus, what the System is doing now is creating an app that would monitor based on the electrical signal movements in your brain circuit. With that information, the System would be able to distinguish whether those electrical signals were signalling the movement of your muscles or certain information to your brain.”
“If not, the System merely probes the electrical signal and checks what kind of information has been stored inside you. After all, the User is connected to the System and has been accustomed to Kraft’s monthly sanity checks. You would not feel a single thing during your cultivation.”
“Hmm yea, so what do I get out of it?” Jin felt the System was merely compiling information for its own good until he found out that the System was going to implement what it had thought during the trial.
“Oh..okay. Then I guess that is really worth a shot. To be able to receive information not just on the style but having a supercomputer to know which cultivation style could possibly be more effective against my opponent would no doubt benefit me.” Jin said and then paused for a moment.
“But wait. Does that not only apply to this world? I mean the rest of the multiverse had no such cultivation nonsense in their worlds.”
“Having an edge in your homeworld is a sufficient advantage. Who knows if one were to traverse to another separate world, they might be handy?” The System stated and then Lynn raised her hand.
“Is there any way I can follow Jin, copying other people’s style?”
“Negative. The User is able to do so because of his distinct infusion of Chi and Mana. However, the cultivation manual that Sub System User Lynn has been using is more than sufficient against most opponents if you had cultivated sufficiently.”
“But cultivation does not mean shit if I do not have experience. I nearly lost the previous round in the dungeon world because of that inexperience. If I can’t copy Jin’s style, I would like to at least fight on a constant basis to get my skills right.”
“If what the User said was true, perhaps the System might be able to get a glimpse of the information of the enemies User had encountered with a deep brain scan the moment he gets out of his subconscious. The System would then attempt to replicate what User went through and utilise the post processing as a simulation for Lynn if you are willing.”
“Welp, if you can do that, that would not just help me but the minions too. Especially if we are focusing on this world. While they might get some training from fighting against cultivators from my shop, some were deliberately losing to even out the customer’s experience or hide their true strength from being showcased. But if you are really able to bring it out, they should have the opportunity to gain more exposure and shed more light on how different cultivators fight.” Jin said and Lynn agreed.
“Then if everyone is agreeable, the System would then advise User to enter his cultivation mode as quickly as possible. With regards to the Symposium, the System would recommend Lynn to settle it.”
“What? Me?” Lynn was astonished by the sudden command from the System.”
“The System noted previously that you wished to have more responsibility. Since the User is now busy, the System would slowly push the business aspect for you to handle.”
“Wow. That’s quick. Well, I do not mind Lynn, but if you do that, be sure to follow the System’s recommendation. I feel that it’s not as simple as it looks, especially after Zeru’s explanation. I might want to believe it’s over thinking on my end but it’s better to be prepared than never.” Jin said as the System teleported him back to his own room.
“Hmm, then System. Please show me the way.” Lynn said as she waved to Jin goodbye… but the User decided to step forward and gave her a gentle hug, causing her to blush a little. While it was indeed awkward, she did appreciate the effort he made. “Be sure to come back safely.”
“Haha, I definitely will. But do try to wake me up if its near the Symposium deadline. It would be such an embarrassment if I planned all these and could even make it for that.” Jin said with a smile.
“User should be more concern on the changes in the Farming World. There were some major movement from the Rats according to the scouts.” The System reported
“Why are you telling me this right now. Are we going to have a situation where I had to handle my own world’s event and the farming world simultaneously once more?” Jin questioned and the System said it is inevitable considering the worlds wait for no one.
“Ah, we will manage it one thing at a time. So, here goes nothing.. Time for round two,” Jin said as he sat on his bed and somehow, he managed to fall into his sleep almost as soon as he touched his pillow.
