Chapter 22 Our names must match.



After thinking it over, she opened the bottle cap faster than she thought, tilted her head back, and drank all the liquid in the bottle. After drinking it, she smacked her lips. It tasted like herbs, neither sweet nor bitter, and she couldn't say it was bad, but it wasn't particularly delicious either.

After a series of actions last night, she felt a little annoyed. How could her hand have a mind of its own? But she had already drunk it, and it was too late to regret it.

Looking at the glass bottle in her hand that resembled a test tube, she tried saying "shou" (meaning "receive"). The glass bottle disappeared from her hand. This kind of thing shouldn't be in the house right now; it's better not to be outside.

In just a short while, she felt her whole body heat up, even hotter than when she had a fever that day. Then came waves of pain, and she tried her best to clench her teeth to keep from crying out. The heat accompanied the pain, and soon Qian Xiao's consciousness became hazy.

As for where this potion came from, it was something the little system swiped from the nearest space after connecting to it. Seeing the name on it, it knew that the potion was for stimulating superpowers, and it figured the host would definitely be able to use it.

It didn't have any bad intentions; it just thought about the host's excited expression when talking about the big gift package and wanted to give it to the host to make the host happy.

As for other factors, it didn't consider them at all. It just gave it to Qian Xiao, and Qian Xiao didn't think too much about it and drank it all. It's really something that one dares to give and the other dares to drink.

Aren't you afraid of accidentally laughing yourself to death?

That night, Qian Xiao remained in a dazed state. When Li Guizhi didn't see Qian Xiao early in the morning, she came over to check on her. Seeing that her daughter was sleeping soundly, though her face was still a little pale, she didn't wake Qian Xiao up, thinking that since she was injured, it would be good for her to sleep more.

Little did they know, Qian Xiao wasn't asleep at all; she had been unconscious the whole time. However, this misunderstanding actually saved Qian Xiao some trouble.

Qian Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, felt his body, and pinched his thigh: "Ouch, that hurts."

Damn it, I almost thought I'd turned into a spirit again. Last night, she was in so much pain that she almost died. She thought she wouldn't make it through. If this had happened in her past life, she definitely wouldn't have been able to endure it.

A musty smell wafted from her body; was it from sweating too much last night? If only there was water in the space, she could go in and wash up right now. She wondered if her mother would let her take a bath.

By the way, regarding her superpowers, she suffered so much, I wonder if she succeeded?

"Little system, how can you sense superpowers?" Superpowers are described in all sorts of ways in novels, so which one does she have?

"Close your eyes and carefully feel the changes in your body. See if there is a ball of energy. If you can feel it, you can use your mind to command that ball of energy to your advantage."

Qian Xiao closed her eyes and tried to sense it carefully. She seemed to be able to vaguely feel something different. Her face turned red, but she still couldn't make her so-called superpower manifest. She had failed!

Was all her suffering last night for nothing? No, she had to try again.

Undeterred, Qian Xiao continued trying, sweating profusely but still unable to see grass, fire, or water emerge from his hands. Finally, unable to feel anything, he could only dejectedly lie on the kang (a heated brick bed), mourning the great suffering he had endured the previous night.

"Little system, have we failed?" His voice was filled with deep disappointment.

"Is...is that right?" the little system said, also uncertainly.

"Hey, I'm not so sure about what you're saying. Is there some hidden superpower that I haven't discovered? No way, I've tried my best, I feel like I've used every ounce of strength I have."

"I think I sensed a fluctuation of supernatural power just now, but it was only for a short time. I don't know if it came from you, and I couldn't detect what kind of power it was. Why don't you try again and I'll sense it again?"

Qian Xiao waved his hand weakly: "No, I guess I'm not destined for that. Never mind, didn't you say that even if I can't develop superpowers, I can still improve my health? That's good enough, having a good body is better than anything else."

"By the way, do you have a name?" She remembered that those transmigrated or reborn women would give their little systems a name.

The little system seemed to pause for a moment: "My name seems to be a string of numbers, does that count as a name?"

Its creator, the father, produced countless systems throughout his life, all of which were named with numbers. It seems that humans never specifically named their systems, since systems are merely auxiliary tools for humans and do not need names to signify their existence.

"Of course not, do you want me to give you a name?" The little system sounded quite high-class. Since the two of them were tied together, they should have a down-to-earth name together, that would be more fitting.

"Really, you're really willing to name me?"

Why does he sound so excited? It can't be that bad, even dogs have names these days, what's there to get so excited about? But thinking about the name I came up with, I feel a little guilty, for some reason.

No way, she's not that kind of person!

"Of course, we're friends, right? How about I give you a name?"

"Okay, okay."

“Look, my nickname is Erdan, and yours is Shuangdan, how about that? It sounds like we’re a couple.”

The little system felt that the name was a bit strange, but thinking about the host's name, it figured that this was probably how people here named themselves: "Okay, I'll be called Double Egg from now on."

"You've been inside my head the whole time? Aren't systems supposed to be able to virtualize cats and dogs? Why aren't you one?"

"...I don't have enough energy to create one right now. You wait here, I'll go find some energy and then I can create one." It remembered that when it borrowed the space, there seemed to be quite a few good things in that space. Would it be okay to borrow some more?

Sun Kaicheng... this has even attracted a thief!

"If you leave, will I still be able to freely enter that space?"

"Sure, you can use the passage created by my body to enter that space at any time, as long as my body is on you."

"Okay, go ahead and do it. If you can get some energy, get as much as you can. Otherwise, you always say you don't have enough energy. Let's give it a full charge this time." She guessed that energy was like a mobile phone battery; once it was fully charged, it could be used.

Speaking of her phone, Qian Xiao sighed. She wished she didn't have memories of her past life. With those memories, she had so many things to miss, and she missed everything.

"Erdan, are you awake yet? Get up and eat something, it's almost noon."
