The familiar system notification sounded in his mind once more, and Lin Cheng froze on the spot.
He was at a loss, bewildered.
Had he guessed wrong?
But he had indeed stripped away the system's prize pool, and the system's sign-in energy had indeed come from the outer layer left behind by the Lord of Creation... Yet now that outer layer had been removed, he could still sign in?
"How could this be?"
"By my calculations, the inner layer shouldn't possess such an ability."
After a brief moment of stunned silence, a book suddenly appeared in Lin Cheng's hand. Its cover was black and bore no writing. When he opened it, page after page of blank paper met his eyes. It looked ancient, yet ordinary...
There was not a single mark on it, nothing but emptiness.
There was nothing special about it.
Lin Cheng even felt that with the slightest exertion of force, he could tear the book to pieces...
And that was indeed the case.
With a gentle tug, a small tear appeared in the page, and it did not possess the imagined ability to repair itself.
"What is this supposed to be?"
"Could it be that the system wasn't fully uninstalled, leaving behind some bugs?"
"The system's prize pool was stripped away, so the rewards have become ordinary items randomly created?"
Lin Cheng could create objects from nothing as well, but only simple items, and even then certain conditions had to be met. He first needed to thoroughly analyze the object and become intimately familiar with it before he could create it.
For example, if he wanted to create a book, he had to carefully analyze every part of its structure before using void energy to make it.
Strictly speaking, that did not count as creating an item
