“...Are you one of those UN bastards?” Jian Zhusi asked carefully.

  [No]

  He was relieved. That’s most of his worry gone.

  “Who are you?”

  [I am your wrist computer module]

  Jian Zhusi frowned. “Huh? But you’re just a computer. There's no AI module installed in your system. How come you can communicate with me?” He paused, remembering something. “And now that we’re on that subject, how the hell did you fuse with me?”

  [The excess energy from the explosion boosted my processing power. I gained the ability to scan and copy your brain. When you are transported here, your soul frequency syncs up to my system. Hence, we are transported together as one.]

  His jaw dropped. “What the hell happened back then?”

  As the prompt in his mind began to replay the scenes of the events back then, his eyes opened almost as wide as his mouth.

  It turns out, the explosion from the nuclear reactors were even greater than he anticipated. Not only is it a huge explosion, it was compacted by the Terrarium. Although the plus side is that it saved Mars from being turned into asteroid chunks, the energy became so concentrated that it managed to pierce the time space wall separating the dimensions.

  With the added bonus of fusing his soul with an actual computer!

  “You seems to know a lot about this world. Did your database already have prior knowledge on this dimension?”

  [No]

  “Then how did you know the things you helped me with? Did you scan the memory of the previous owner or something?”

  The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

  [That’s impossible sir. Memories are stored inside the soul. Once the owner of this body dies, his memories died with him.]

  “Oh? Then how?”

  [As mentioned, my scanning and processing power was boosted. I am able to scan the area for the knowledge and energy contained inside the targeted area.]

  Jian Zhusi was enlightened. He was familiar with such function. Back then, he used the wrist computer to scan the area to be used for construction. Like when he wanted to build the early terrarium on Mars. His wrist computer would project completed models of the terrarium so he could see where is the best location to build. Even on Earth, if he wanted to replicate a building or house, he would use his wrist computer to scan and create blueprints.

  “Give me a quick rundown of your functions.” He commanded.

  The prompts immediately set to work.

  [Blueprints System

  Owner: Jian Zhusi

  Soul power: 1% output

  Targeted scan area: Jian Emperor Palace Complex

  Scan status: 100%

  Martial Arts: None

  Cultivation Technique: Longevity Manual(100%)]

  Jian Zhusi felt a headache. The prompts raised even more questions than answers.

  “Your name…it’s the Blueprints System?”

  [It’s just a label of the program code you based my system, sir. You may call me whatever you like.]

  “Hummm. Very well, then I shall call you Xiao Cang, Is that alright?”

  [As you wish. Will that be all?]

  Jian Zhusi sneered. “Oh no. We’re not even close to finish. For one thing, what the hell is this soul power?”

  [Answer. Due to the explosion, your soul composition has been changed. Your soul now closely resembles a nuclear reactor. Absorbing qi from the surrounding, turning it into energy readily available for you.]

  “Errr…qi? What is that?”

  [In this dimension, qi is the energy of this world. Normal people cannot use it. Only cultivator may use it to boost their martial arts and combat power.]

  Hearing Xiao Cang’s explanation reminded Jian Zhusi of what he wanted to ask the most.

  “There it is again. Cultivation! What is that?”

  Xiao Cang began to explain to Jian Zhusi about cultivation.

  Cultivation is the practice of achieving immortality. All the techniques focuses on using the Dantian to absorb qi in order to advance the body and soul to get stronger. Once one have achieve the peak of mortal advancement, they shall step into the realm of immortality, and shall ascended to Immortal Realm.

  “Damn! What a shame. The original owner of this body have mastered the Longevity Manual, yet he perished. What a waste of his time and genius!”

  Xiao Cang chimed in to correct Jian Zhusi.

  [The original Jian Zhusi did not managed to master the Longevity Manual. At the time of his death, he only managed to cultivate no more than 8% of the manual.]

  “Huh? Then why does it say that I have mastered the Longevity Manual?”

  [That is because of me. I have scanned the entire manual along with the entirety of this Palace Complex the moment we occupied this body. The complete mastery of the technique is safely stored away in your soul.]

  “But…I don’t have a Dantian? How can I cultivate?”

  [You indeed don’t have a Dantian to absorb and store qi. But your nuclear reactor soul, in a manner, acted similarly to a Dantian. Hence, you can also cultivate. And with the knowledge and understanding I have gathered, cultivation is made much easier for you.]

  For the first time in a long while, Jian Zhusi was happy. He had been working hard all these years. Now that things suddenly have been made easy for him, he could not help but feel elated.

  “That’s great news, Xiao Cang. When can I start cultivating?”

  Xiao Cang took a moment to scan Jian Zhusi’s condition.

  [Your body seemed to have healed perfectly. You may begin anytime you want.]

  “Great! Tell me how?”

  [As you wish, sir. Accessing the Longevity Manual. Complete. Linking the knowledge to your mind…]
