Lin Nai: You There? Explode Gold Coins?

Early the next morning.

Lin Nai got up from the soft bed and stretched sleepily.

"Yawn..."

Good morning, Host.

"Morning, System... Hm, what is it?"

There are a few things to report. Of course, please don't suddenly scream, okay?

"Hm?"

Random Skill: Moon God Digitization (turns the body into a blue particle energy form with data-stream properties)

Random Item: Card Case (Kamen Rider Dragon Fang)

Random Item: Extraordinary Creator VRX Cassette

Lin Nai: ???

Lin Nai's mind went blank. He felt the bafflement of someone who had inexplicably won the lottery.

The System dropped gold coins!

Come to think of it, aside from giving him a passive yesterday, this guy had done nothing else.

It was rare for it to drop so many things at once.

Who knew what happened in your dream? Just secretly enjoy it. Your body is getting more and more absurd too, and the time is drawing near.

"A dream..."

Only then did Lin Nai begin carefully recalling that strange dream from last night.

What exactly had happened?

It had been a bit like a mishmash of famous scenes.

Lin Nai felt that if he had continued letting things run wild in that dream, he would definitely have exploded.

According to Herta, he had apparently talked in his sleep a little as well.

"But... this time, it unexpectedly dropped an item I can use to attack."

Lin Nai picked up a black card case marked with the emblem of a pitch-black dragon head.

Dragon Fang.

When he turned his head, he seemed to vaguely see a Black Dragon with glowing red eyes in the mirror.

Not bad.

No matter how Dark Dragon's combat power stacked up in this world, at the very least, it looked cool, right?

As for the VR Cassette... that would depend on creativity.

After the System's adjustments, even if they were only items, Lin Nai could still use the power within them.

Of course.

There was also part of the power of the Rider transformers, such as the cassette he had used while gaming with Silver Wolf before.

"But, System, do you know what exactly happened?"

I don't know the specifics. When I came back and checked the records, it seemed someone had tried to enter your dream, but they were intercepted.

"Came back?"

I went to communicate with someone and discuss a few matters.

"Oh... Then do you know who it was?"

No. That person gave up after a few attempts. Though your body suddenly started glowing and such.

After being startled by your abnormal condition, I took a tiny little suggestion and used a tiny little trick to pull you out of that so-called dream.

"You mean..."

The pain you felt in the dream was my doing.

"...Wasn't that a little too rough?" Lin Nai rubbed his neck.

Even recalling it now made his heart tremble with lingering fear.

Suffocation, pain, burning, bone-piercing cold.

He had nearly thought he had died again.

Couldn't be helped. You seemed to have sunk too deeply into the dream. Without some stimulating measures, you wouldn't have woken up.

Maybe it was just his imagination.

But Lin Nai seemed to hear the faintest trace of... delight in the System's words?

This guy hadn't done it on purpose, had it?

"...Thanks."

You're welcome. After all, I'm the one who's been with you the longest~

Hearing the System's rather proud tone.

Lin Nai smiled. After getting himself ready, he prepared to head to Herta's office for a physical examination.

A few hours later...

Lin Nai sat obediently in a chair, watching Herta review the report over there.

How should he put it?

It felt like going to see a doctor after a medical checkup.

If Herta furrowed her brow right now or something, Lin Nai felt he would panic.

Fortunately.

Herta showed no unnecessary expression and merely picked up a glass of water.

After pausing for several seconds, she handed it to Lin Nai. "Drink more hot water."

"Oh... okay..."

You really didn't give it to him because you forgot you were controlling a puppet that doesn't need water, did you?

"Alright, there's nothing wrong with your body. Mentally... hard to say."

Herta held the documents in one hand and lightly tapped the table with the other.

Lin Nai drank the hot water without saying a word.

He was a little scared.

"But thinking about it carefully, Lin Nai, it's not like you being mentally unstable is a one-time thing. It was probably just a nightmare."

Herta organized the documents and put them into a briefcase, intending to ask Ruan Mei and the others about them after some time.

If it was only a nightmare, then there was no problem.

But Lin Nai's body had glowed, his temperature had been abnormal, his hands and feet had turned icy, and he had difficulty breathing.

No matter how she looked at it, those were problems.

Yet the instruments could not detect anything at all.

It was very strange.

This wouldn't do. She had to keep upgrading the instruments, or they wouldn't be able to detect anything at all.

"Alright, go do whatever you need to do next. I'm going back to working on the Simulated Universe."

Herta waved her hand.

Lin Nai hesitated, wanting to ask about the puppet from yesterday, but ultimately shook his head.

Herta probably wasn't that bored, right?

It was unlikely she had been watching surveillance footage or anything.

So that Herta puppet probably just had the function of monitoring his physical condition.

Lin Nai convinced himself and got up to leave the office.

Herta immediately sent the test report to Ruan Mei and Screwllum.

At their next gathering, she could ask whether they had figured anything out.

--Scene Break--

After leaving Herta's office, Lin Nai had planned to go back and catch up on some sleep.

But after taking only two steps, he saw several researchers in white lab coats swarm toward him.

"Wait! What are you doing?! Don't come any closer!!"

Lin Nai backed up two steps in fear.

Terrifying!

It was way too terrifying!

"Sorry, Lin Nai, but it's an emergency! We need your help!"

Hm...

He suddenly had the urge to grab a handful of sand.

"Excuse us!"

"Just bear with it!"

"Wait!!"

Before Lin Nai could speak, the group of researchers had already hoisted him up and carried him toward the medical bay.

"Asta! Asta, save me!!"

Lin Nai noticed the Space Station's head standing some distance away and immediately shouted.

Unfortunately, Asta remained unmoved and simply stood there quietly.

"Asta! Asta, why are you just watching?! Have you really betrayed me?! Just because I took the Black Silk yesterday?!"

"..." Asta could not hold it in anymore, and the corner of her mouth twitched. "They're from the medical bay. They're overwhelmed over there."

"Good luck, Lin Nai. I'll bring you lunch at noon."

Asta smiled.

Though for some reason, Lin Nai sensed a strange gaze?

Chapter 11 · Lin Nai: You There? Explode Gold Coins?

Good morning, Herta Space Station!

Yesterday, exactly thirty people across numerous laboratories suffered accidents!

Thanks to endless late-night research, ten people in the Master Control Zone had collapsed unconscious.

But I think all of you are doomed!

Because even one of the medical bay researchers had collapsed from exhaustion!

Lin Nai definitely couldn't swallow this anger!

So...

Inside the medical bay.

After being forcibly carried to the medical bay by a group of burly men, Lin Nai treated the researchers with an expressionless face, channeling energy into them.

His resentment was greater than a ghost's.
