Chapter 103
===================
The mechanized environment, the looming walls, the endlessness, only the vague flow of electricity can be seen, the colorful neon lights, as if in the distance there is the bustling night market that Lianyun has not seen for a long time...
This... is the "void space" that the Queen mentioned?
"You're here."
Lian Yun: "Who's talking?"
She must have heard it wrong, this voice...
It must be her system sound!
"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time. Let me see how you are now..."
"Hmm... Level 26, Farming unlocked two skills... Yeah, not bad, no wonder you can communicate with me."
"The building has two skills enabled, which is not bad... Attack and fishing are not enabled. Huh? Progress is a bit slow here."
"but……"
Lian Yun heaved a sigh of relief when he heard it: "Fortunately, nothing went wrong this time."
Lian Yun had a big question mark on his head: "Am I qualified to know what you are talking about?"
"Ha! Sorry, I slept too long." The system voice yawned mechanically, "You probably don't recognize me, but you definitely know my other identity..."
"System." Lian Yun said for it.
"Hey, you found it."
"It's the same sound. If I weren't an idiot, I should be able to spot it."
Lian Yun maintained a polite smile.
"You're the one who dragged me in here, right?"
Lian Yun followed closely.
Since arriving in this world, she's had to figure things out on her own, aside from the missions. While there's a system, it's completely unintelligent. Now that she's finally caught a living system, she needs to get to the bottom of it!
"yes."
It admitted it shamelessly.
"Why!"
Lian Yun suddenly raised his voice, "I'm having a great time playing games, why did you drag me in? Even if it's a draw among players, there are so many people playing games, why did you have to choose me?"
God knows what kind of period she had just gone through before she came here.
I finally calmed down and cooled down a little.
Before he had the chance to fall into the world of the game, he was forced to hit the road again.
"Lord, are you not having fun?" the system chuckled. "I see you have a lot of friends now. Isn't that much better than the world you're in?"
Lian Yun's face darkened: "Don't change the subject, answer my question."
Even if she has no friends and no job, it is not her turn to be judged by this evil creature.
The system sullenly dropped its joking tone: "I chose you after careful selection. You are a perfect match."
Lian Yun frowned: "What do you mean?"
"The first Son of God was taken from your world, but he was too ambitious..."
"Wait!" Lian Yun couldn't believe it. "The first of these Sons of God was also dragged here like me?!"
The system obediently admitted: "Yes."
“…Is he the same as me?”
Lian Yun suddenly lowered his voice.
The system intelligently understood her meaning and replied, "No, he has a happy family, is brave and strong, and possesses good leadership qualities."
Lian Yun was silent.
That was someone completely different from her.
"Then why was he pulled here? If he's to be the so-called savior, then he's definitely more suitable than me. But then, why should I be here..."
The system responded quickly to her question: "I only know that this world is in crisis and needs a new leader to become a new miracle."
Lian Yun didn't know whether it was talking about "miracle" or "opportunity".
However, her appearance and that of the second Son of God obviously failed to become a "miracle".
"He died of his own arrogance, that's all I know."
Lian Yun was dissatisfied with this answer: "You remember the way he died, but not the details?"
"That's all I have!" the system said, aggrieved. "There's another me in the ocean. You can ask it. It knows much more than I do, but you may not be able to contact it right now."
"So what do you do?"
As soon as the question was asked, Lian Yun figured it out.
The Elf Queen said that they could ask the Tree of Life any questions they had about forests, crops, and plants.
"The Tree of Life is you." Lian Yun said suddenly, "You are common sense."
And the other "it" it mentioned should be a more intelligent system, but for some reason it cannot be contacted.
"My Lord is indeed smart! I was not wrong about you!" The system laughed.
Lian Yun didn't buy it: "You just said you didn't care about these things, but why did you pick me yourself?"
"That's true. The other me slept longer than me, and I haven't contacted it in a long time. The final choice is in my hands, and I chose you. Is there a problem?"
No problem.
"What's the basis?"
"The first one has the courage and bravery to fight the monster."
"The second one is strategic and ambitious, capable of leading multiple races."
Lian Yun listened quietly, feeling somewhat comforted: "Then I..."
"You don't have any."
Lian Yun: “???”
The system politely stated, "Because I failed the first two times, I took a desperate gamble this time. I eliminated the first two options, and after a comprehensive evaluation, I chose you."
Lian Yun couldn't bear to listen any longer: "Is your standard for comprehensive evaluation that the more insignificant the better?"
Before she came here, the most skilled thing she did was to lie down flat.
"Our comprehensive evaluation is very scientific!" the system retorted righteously. "We've considered multiple angles and every detail, selecting from a pool of people passionate about infrastructure games. And you're the one and only candidate, perfectly suited to the role of 'savior.'"
Savior……
What on earth makes them think that someone who can't even handle himself well can be the so-called savior?
"We have our own selection process. Since you found me, it means you have completed the previous tasks excellently."
"You made those tasks?"
The system denied it.
That is the natural energy of the system, bound to Lian Yun's identity as a lord. It will formulate tasks based on her every move. If she is lucky, she may be able to see it sooner.
"But I was surprised that you could find me in such a short time."
Lian Yun accepted this reason for the time being and blocked out its elusive compliment.
Finally back to her original question.
"I heard from the Elf Queen that you've been sleeping since the second Son of God... the time traveler came here?"
System: "Yes, because the energy of my other self was too low to be transmitted to me, it automatically fell asleep after selecting the second Son of God, and I was forced to hibernate."
Unexpectedly, the machine was forced to start up because the second Son of God got into trouble.
"The previous Elf King used his life to wake you up, and then you saved him." Lian Yun asked curiously.
Before he knew it was the system, Lian Yun understood it a little, but after knowing it was an intelligent program, Lian Yun no longer understood.
Judging from their various behaviors, their identities cannot directly interfere with the progress and events of this world.
The system was silent for a rare moment.
"Because his core is my energy."
A sentence without reason.
"I've watched him grow up since he was a kid. I like him very much..."
As the system was speaking, it suddenly froze.
"That's not my procedure."
After saying this, it quickly changed the subject and continued, "The Second Son of God has inflicted heavy damage on the elven royal family, violating our planned path. This path is the only way to save this continent. If we allow him to continue on this wrong path, expelling the elves and elevating the human race... the consequences will be disastrous."
"So you took action?"
The system hummed twice: "The poisonous fog was my intervention. Fortunately, this intervention was necessary. Although I consumed energy afterwards, it didn't completely dissipate."
Lian Yun grasped the key words: "Dissipate? You will also dissipate?"
"Yes. The moment our energy is exhausted, we will disappear. Without our interference, this continent will perish. At that time, this world will no longer exist."
A new realization suddenly enveloped Lian Yun. She paused for two seconds and spoke rapidly, "Does talking now consume your energy?"
System: "...You awakened it, and it consumed your energy. It has nothing to do with me."
"That's good." Lian Yun felt relieved.
"However, as long as this imbalance on the continent persists, we will have to dissipate energy to maintain the world's existence. In other words, every minute and every second is a drain on us."
!
Time suddenly became tight.
Lian Yun continued speaking faster: "Time is running out. What's next? The Queen asked me to ask you..."
"I know," the system said confidently. "I know everything that happened before you came here. Just tell her—Aishlin, I hope you will follow your own will and make the right decision for yourself, the elves, and the entire continent."
"So complicated?" Lian Yun was suspicious. How did it talk to him so directly just now?
The system replied in a serious tone, "They just love these kind of cryptic answers. I'll give you some more information... Believe me, Little Ice Cube will be very surprised."
Lian Yun: ...
"to be honest."
"Um?"
"I'm beginning to think you're truly intelligent."
…
Time passed minute by minute, Lian Yun's body lay there motionless, and Lana stood beside her, also motionless, as if standing like a sculpture.
At the beginning, Lina could still comfort him by saying "Brother Lana" and then comfort Luo.
After a long time, the sun was about to set, and no more sunlight penetrated the circular sky.
Lian Yun still didn't wake up.
Until my grandmother couldn't sit still anymore and started walking around.
She was also a little panicked. Even the experienced grandmother began to worry. It was obvious that this situation was not ordinary.
Lina stood beside Lian Yun worriedly, gently holding her hand and secretly praying that her sister would wake up soon.
Before she could even finish two sentences of this prayer, she suddenly felt her sister's fingers tremble slightly.
The next second, Lian Yun slowly opened his eyes.
