"Holy crap?"
Linde took a step back, trying to get away from the rock that had once sparked his imagination, but the meteorite drifted up and followed him.
"System activated, please confirm."
Linde asked:
"What are you?"
When Lin Deyuan was on Blue Star, he had read many transmigration novels, and there were countless terrible systems in them, many of which caused the hosts to die.
The stone that claimed to be the system didn't say anything more. Linde stared at the faint purple light and looked around at the place that resembled a Van Gogh painting.
"Looks like there are no other options."
Lin Dexin gritted his teeth and grabbed the purple meteorite.
In an instant, the meteorite shone brightly, and Lin De was back on his bed in the bedroom in the blink of an eye. He immediately got up and started touching himself.
"I... am back? Thankfully, I'm not missing any limbs, and my little brother is still here."
Just as Linde breathed a sigh of relief, he was surprised to find that the purple scar on his chest had almost completely disappeared, leaving only a faint mark.
"So... the system has credited the money?"
"System? Brother System?"
Only the silent darkness answered Lind.
Linde then began to feel the scars on his body; there were none.
The right hand that grasped the meteorite was gone.
There is no dantian near the lower abdomen.
In my mind... "Huh!? I've got it!"
Deep within Linde's mind, the purple stone floated silently. It seemed to have undergone some unknown change; its surface was no longer pitted and uneven, but instead became angular, like a polyhedron.
"System? Are you there?"
As he spoke, Linde winked and tried to touch it with his mind, or rather, his spirit. Immediately, a surge of information flooded into Linde's mind.
"Halo system activated"
"Initial aura acquisition in progress..."
Successfully completed.
"Activation halo obtained. Please check it yourself."
Lin De laughed and said, "Does your system... have a personality?"
"This is a simplified auxiliary system; it does not have a personality. Enabling the personality system or more functions requires a system upgrade."
What is needed for a system upgrade?
"need????"
"...Alright, let's explore slowly after the upgrade. Now, introduce yourself."
"This system is a simplified halo assistance system. This system only provides halo enhancement and does not provide any other assistance besides the halo. Please check the halo effect and acquisition method yourself."
Linde opened the panel with a thought:
Host: Lind Truk (Lind)
Halo: Activated Halo (Not Activated)
(To sense and enhance the biological activity of all organic organisms within the coverage area)
"That's really concise, the panel is only this small..."
Linde looked again and saw a line of small print at the bottom of the panel: "Gain a new halo at the start of the first day of each calendar year."
Linde asked, "It's almost the end of the year now. I hope that getting a halo for the first time won't leave me without one for the first year?"
"Won't"
This delighted Lin De. This system had no personality, no coercion, no task assignments, no elimination, and no trickery, except for being somewhat like a human-machine interface.
It's simply an exemplary system!
"So, what are the specific effects of this activated halo?"
"Please explore on your own, host."
"Uh... okay, it's true that he's good at nothing except for his aura."
As he spoke, Linde jumped out of bed and went to the windowsill.
It was still the middle of the night, and the clean and tidy castle was occasionally filled with the sound of soft snoring. From time to time, soldiers in fine armor patrolled the covered walkways outside the castle.
Linde tiptoed to the door, gently pushed it open, and looked into the corridor.
The white crystal wall lamps in the corridor emitted a soft glow, illuminating the empty corridor.
"Good, nobody's here."
Linde closed the door, returned to the center of the room, and sat cross-legged on the floor.
"Activate the activation halo"
As the halo activated, Linde felt a surge of vitality begin to flow through his body.
With his eyes closed, he felt he could sense through the thick walls the sleeping servants downstairs, the plants outside the window, the resting birds, and the yawning soldiers. This sensation extended all the way to the forest 5 kilometers away before finally stopping.
"This halo only increases activity by a tiny bit? It feels like the plants are growing faster..."
Linde looked at the panel and found that after the aura was activated, he seemed to be able to control the effective range of the aura.
"So, it's possible to control the scope of effectiveness?"
Linde began to try to narrow the effective range, and immediately limited it to within one meter around himself.
At this moment, Linde was surprised to find that as the effective range continued to shrink, the effect of this activity enhancement would gradually increase. In just a few seconds, the withered yellow flowers in the vase on the desk bloomed again, as if they had just been cut from the branches.
Linde continued to shrink the range of the aura, eventually reducing it to within his own body. As the last bit of the aura disappeared, Linde felt stronger than ever before? No, the strength was an illusion; it was more like unprecedented health, his physical condition at an extreme peak.
Linde immediately picked up the pen on the desk, gritted his teeth, and slashed it hard across his palm. With a "splat," the metal pen tip cleanly sliced through Linde's hand.
As the blood dripped down, Linde noticed that the wound on his hand was healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, the wound disappeared as if it had never existed.
Linde examined the wound carefully, or rather, the place where the wound had once been. There was no trace of skin left, and the pain had only lasted for a moment. Only a few drops of blood on the table proved what had just happened.
The boy then pulled out a chair, sat down at the desk, opened his notebook, and wrote, "After the aura was activated, my body was comprehensively enhanced, and I can see in the dark."
"Hmm... My strength, speed, reaction time, and resilience have all improved significantly. Oh right, my stamina has also been greatly improved. I was feeling a little tired just now, but now I feel like I'm full and ready to go."
"The halo can currently cover an area with a radius of about 5 kilometers centered on me. As the range expands, the effect will gradually dilute. If fully released, large organisms will hardly feel it, and only plants will probably feel it slightly. Perhaps it will be a farming wonder?"
Under Linde's control, Linde turned off the aura, and as the aura disappeared, a feeling of fatigue washed over him.
It seems that although the body is full of energy, mental fatigue cannot be eliminated.
"It only affects the physical body? It doesn't affect mental fatigue..."
Linde lay back on the bed, lost in thought. "This halo... feels like it will be very useful. It will definitely make farming in the territory or training soldiers in the castle much easier in the future."
In case of danger or need, it can be directly attributed to oneself. After all, the effect of this condensed aura is still very powerful, at least in terms of individual strength, it will provide a huge boost.
With the arrival of the golden finger, Linde was filled with wonderful imaginations about the future.
The moonlight was bright and clear, like a waterfall or a curtain, and the boy fell asleep dreaming of the future.
No one knows what kind of monstrous waves this otherworldly soul will unleash upon this world...
