When Luo Yifang opened his eyes again, the world was already different. Hmm, the ceiling was unfamiliar, and then he sat up, looked around, hmm, the house was even more unfamiliar. Alright, everything that just happened wasn't a dream.
However... there's a bit too much information in my head. Vector Manipulation, Academy City, and a bunch of messy stuff about No. 1, the strongest, and so on. Luo Yifang felt he needed to sort things out properly, so he lay back down on the bed.
A moment later, Luo Yifang—oh no, perhaps he should be called Accelerator now. Of course, he felt it was better to call himself Luo Yifang, because now he was both Accelerator and Luo Yifang, and neither of them. He was a bit strange right now.
But this was all Luo Yifang's imagination. Well, life had to go on, and unable to lie in bed any longer, he rolled off the bed, rubbed his somewhat messy white hair, and walked to the bathroom. Looking at the pale face in the mirror, with wine-red pupils, Luo Yifang didn't feel very good.
He smacked his lips. "This outfit is so stupid. And why am I still this skinny? I've had enough! No, I must train properly!"
Luo Yifang was dead, that was true. And the original Accelerator, in a sense, no longer existed. However, Luo Yifang wasn't too sure about his current situation. The moment he opened his eyes, he knew he was different, but only he could figure out the specifics. At least he could still use Vector Manipulation, and...
"It seems I've gotten stronger..." Luo Yifang extended a finger and pointed it at the wall. Like a hot knife through butter, the slender finger easily sank into the wall up to its base. He pulled his finger out, looked at his spotless index finger, and the small hole in the wall. "As expected?"
In the past, such an ability was as easy as eating and drinking for Accelerator. But now, Luo Yifang felt it was easier than breathing. It seemed even the most basic calculations had been simplified to the extreme. "Hmm... not only has my calculation ability greatly increased, but the calculation process seems to have been simplified too..."
To put it simply, the current Luo Yifang, compared to his original self, could take on ten of them without boasting, but he could beat five. Thus, Luo Yifang, who was already at the top of the pyramid among LV.5s, felt like he was on the road to breaking through the ceiling and would never turn back. With the souls of two people, he now even felt that the world was a little different. It was probably that the familiar Vector Manipulation had gained new ways to be used.
"For example... like this?" Luo Yifang tried to reach out towards the toothbrush and mouthwash cup beside him, and then, he was hit in the face by the cup...
With his reflection active, Luo Yifang naturally wouldn't get hurt, but his face darkened considerably. In the end, he obediently picked up the cup with his hand. "Well, well, that's right. All four fundamental forces can be used, why didn't I think of it before?" Of course, Luo Yifang was still in the introductory stage of applying these almost fundamental laws of the universe, otherwise, he wouldn't have been hit in the face by the cup. But he seemed to have begun to touch upon some strange threshold.
He turned on the faucet, filled a cup with cold water. Not in the mood to wait for the water heater to heat up, Luo Yifang just held the cup, and the water temperature inside began to rise. Instantly, the water in the cup went from ice-cold to warm, more energy-efficient and convenient than any water heater. Under such circumstances, what was supposed to be a simple wash-up turned into Luo Yifang playing happily in the bathroom.
Having sorted everything out, Luo Yifang emerged from the bathroom looking refreshed. It had to be said that although he lacked his signature dead fish eyes and smug expression, making him feel like something was missing, the current Luo Yifang was indeed much more pleasant to be around. At least he didn't look like everyone owed him money.
The next step was easy. Luo Yifang took out a laptop from his cabinet that seemed to have been untouched for ages. After confirming it still worked, Luo Yifang booted it up and started writing a small program. "Hmm, with my current self, I should be able to do this much, right..."
This program was very simple, and Luo Yifang finished it in about ten minutes. If a researcher were present, they would be astonished. This program was very similar to the auxiliary programs they used when developing new espers, only more streamlined and direct. After that, Luo Yifang debugged it for a while. Once he confirmed there were no issues, he connected to the computer without any external devices, forcefully using the bio-electromagnetic waves extended by his powerful calculation ability.
To be honest, such a delicate operation was a tiny bit difficult for Luo Yifang, who was "dedicated to destruction for a hundred years." Of course, it was only a tiny bit. Didn't you see that amazing move when he saved Last Order back then? Tsk tsk, it was incredible! If only he could have finished off the previous guy, maybe it would have been better, at least he wouldn't have become brain-dead?
Finally, Luo Yifang's head didn't explode. There was just a slight sweat on his forehead, but his pale lips indicated that the past few minutes had not been easy. After interrupting the connection, Luo Yifang rubbed his temples. His head was a bit dizzy now, and he needed to sort out the information that had suddenly appeared.
"Hmph..." Suddenly, the voice of the [Book of Ten Thousand Worlds] sounded again in Luo Yifang's mind. However, Luo Yifang felt something was not quite right. "[Book of Ten Thousand Worlds] page 87 reporting to you, permission holder."
"Yo, your efficiency is quite fast. I thought I was about to be abandoned based on the last words of the [Book of Ten Thousand Worlds]." Luo Yifang regained his composure and spoke calmly, as if discussing a trivial matter, not paying much attention to the arrival of the [Book of Ten Thousand Worlds].
"Hey, is that your attitude?" The voice expressed its displeasure.
"I'm a bit busy right now, wait a moment," Luo Yifang started fiddling with his computer. The program he just launched had almost fried the computer's memory. If it weren't for Luo Yifang's powerful calculation ability holding it together, it would probably be smoking by now. "Besides, I always feel like you're not speaking with your own voice, which gives me a strange feeling."
"You!" It seemed to be quite angered. After a long while, the voice spoke again, but this time it wasn't the ethereal and cold voice of the [Book of Ten Thousand Worlds] at all, but a soft and cute loli voice. "Hmph, are you satisfied now, you pervert!"
"Eh?" This actually surprised Luo Yifang. "Do you guys also have genders?"
"I finally know why the main body wanted to kill you so badly. I want to kill you now too," the loli said through gritted teeth, but combined with her soft voice, it lacked any killing power and instead made one's heart melt. "The [Book of Ten Thousand Worlds] is not some low-level Sovereign you've read about. Each page is an individual with its own complete emotions and consciousness!"
"Hmm, that sounds amazing," however, Luo Yifang's interest came and went quickly. He mumbled something vaguely and then planned to ask something useful. "But don't you guys have a name? Calling it book, book, book all the time, aren't you tired of it?"
"I, I naturally have a name!" The loli was choked again. After thinking for a while, she said hurriedly, "My name is 87!"
"...What a perfunctory name... Are you trying to be like that bald guy from Hitman 47... Calling yourself 87..." Luo Yifang rolled his eyes at this temporary name, which was clearly meant to brush off his question about having a name. "Forget it, I'll call you Paqi, how about that?"
"Eh, why?" The loli seemed to eagerly want to know if this name had any deeper meaning.
"Because 87 sounds a lot like Paqi in Chinese," unfortunately, Luo Yifang was never someone who considered others' feelings, at least not in his current beginner stage. This blunt answer deeply hurt little Paqi's heart.
"87... Paqi... 87... Paqi... Wuwuwuwu!! You all bully me!"
"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry. How about we call you Gou Dan?"
"Wawawawawa!" However, the loli cried even louder.
