"Technology Should Not Reign Supreme Over Nature!"

(Reference image of male lead)

After confirming the target, Qilin immediately got out of the car and walked toward Su Bai.

At that moment, Su Bai was still in the consciousness space writing his diary, until Xiao Xue reminded him that Qilin had arrived.

Hearing the news, Su Bai's eyes lit up instantly.

"Hello." Qilin stopped in front of Su Bai, pausing briefly. "Um... you're Su Bai, right?"

There was a hint of nervousness in her voice.

Though she was almost certain this was Su Bai, what if she'd mistaken him?

Hearing her voice, Su Bai's face broke into a smile.

"Yeah! Qilin, take me to eat something good—I'm starving!"

His reply was as straightforward as a child's.

Qilin couldn't help but let out a "pfft" of laughter, and the nervousness in her heart dissipated along with it.

She showed a gentle smile:

"Okay."

Qilin led Su Bai into the car and had him sit in the passenger seat.

She turned sideways to look at him:

"So, little brother Su Bai, what do you want to eat?"

From his appearance, Su Bai looked like an eighteen-year-old high schooler, so Qilin naturally called him "little brother"—it felt natural and also carried a hint of building rapport.

Su Bai thought seriously for a long while, but in the end, he shook his head:

"I don't know either."

A helpless yet amused expression crossed Qilin's face.

"Then... today, let me show you my cooking skills."

The car started smoothly.

Qilin gripped the steering wheel, her mind actually filled with many questions—

About his origins, about the diary, about those seemingly impossible abilities.

But she knew Su Bai was still writing in his diary within the consciousness space.

Since she was taking him home anyway, and they'd have plenty of time together, there was no need to rush.

Besides... hadn't that system spirit told her to "take this dummy home"?

Yeah, he really was a bit of a dummy.

Qilin secretly glanced at the young man beside her through the rearview mirror—

His features were delicate, but his eyes held a pure innocence untouched by the world.

Raising a dumb, superpowered handsome guy... didn't sound so bad?

The corner of her mouth unconsciously lifted into a faint smile.

Meanwhile, Su Bai was still in the consciousness space, earnestly writing down the content Xiao Xue had asked him to share:

[The fourth reward is called "Kill You Three Thousand," a weapon that can freely change its form.]

[The fifth is a one-time item called the "Resonance Activation Device," which can awaken an individual's frequency and make them a "Resonator."]

[The last one is a very strange cube. Xiao Xue was especially shocked when she saw it, even saying something like "technology shouldn't override nature."]

[I asked her, isn't it just a cube? Why was she so worked up? She said I didn't understand—this is one of King Hui's peak works, called the "Weather Cube."]

[It allows one to control six natural elements: wind, rain, lightning, ice, sunlight, and thunder.]

[Xiao Xue warned me that after arriving at Qilin's place and eating, I should fuse with it in a separate space first, or else those "Old Silver Coins" from Super Seminary would detect it, and it might even... tear down Qilin's house.]

After bringing Su Bai home, Qilin turned on the TV and said to him:

"Watch some TV for now; dinner will be ready soon."

Su Bai glanced at the TV, then at Qilin heading toward the kitchen, and asked quietly:

"Do you need any help? Would that make it faster?"

Qilin looked back, a flicker of doubt in her eyes.

She couldn't help thinking: Are you sure you even know how to cook? Maybe you did before, but now...

Still, she smiled warmly on the surface:

"No need, just enjoy the TV. Today, let me show you my skills."

"Okay." Su Bai nodded and obediently sat back on the sofa.

Soon, his attention was drawn to the TV program.

On the other side, Xiao Xue was looking at the two unrevealed rewards not yet made public.

[Temporal Power: Mastery over the force of time, allowing small-scale time reversal, stasis, acceleration, and comprehension of the frequency structure of all things, to attune the "melodies" of spacetime.]

However, with Su Bai's current ability, he could at most perform small-scale time reversal, rewind, stop, and accelerate time.

As for traveling through the past and future, altering time nodes, and such...

He still needed time to grow.

[Year Lord "Jiao": The guide of Jinzhou civilization, foremost among the Year Lords of Huanglong, taking the form of a dragon. He is the core law enforcer of the "Way of Heaven" on Solaris Star's Jinzhou, responsible for maintaining the flow of time and safeguarding the continuation of civilization. His authority governs the spacetime order of Jinzhou, making him the absolute master of Temporal Power.]

Xiao Xue was momentarily speechless.

If you said his luck was good—when he crossed over, his soul was damaged, leaving his mind like a child's.

If you said his luck was bad—every item unsealed from this Beginner Gift Pack was a power capable of overturning the rules.

But seeing this, Xiao Xue finally felt a little reassured.

At least until Su Bai's soul recovered, his safety was basically guaranteed—as long as he didn't actively provoke a madman like Cal, or run into some completely unforeseen catastrophe, steady growth shouldn't be a problem.

"Resonator... what is that?" Hexi's eyes shimmered with intense curiosity for the unknown. She looked toward Keisha, trying to get an answer from her.

Keisha gently shook her head:

"Unclear. At least there's no relevant record in the Sacred Knowledge Treasury. Perhaps... it has something to do with the world he came from before crossing over."

Her tone shifted slightly, her expression turning serious:

"But compared to this yet-unknown 'Resonator,' I'm more interested in that 'Weather Cube' capable of controlling natural elements."

"Oh?" Hexi raised an eyebrow.

"I suspect it's different from the genetic elemental abilities we understand." Keisha said in a low voice. "In our view, basic abilities like wind, fire, lightning, and water aren't considered powerful—mostly just combat methods for first- and second-generation super soldiers. Once one advances to the third generation, or even becomes a 'god,' such abilities are often abandoned."

Her gaze sharpened:

"But I have a feeling—the control granted by this 'Weather Cube' might far exceed our understanding. Otherwise, that system spirit Xiao Xue wouldn't have said something like 'technology should not override nature.'"

"Although," Keisha added calmly, "we don't fully agree with that view."

Hexi seemed lost in thought, but a slow smile crept across her lips:

"You're right. But compared to the Weather Cube... I'm more interested in the 'King Hui' she mentioned."

A glint of a researcher's sharpness flashed in her eyes:

"To be called 'one of a scientist's peak works'... it can't possibly be a simple creation."
