Drenched in a cold, viscous layer of sweat, Si Nuo violently bolted awake, his stomach instantly churning as he scrambled out of bed and rushed into the restroom.
Awakened by the frantic commotion through the heavy fog of sleep, Zhang Yu blinked his eyes open and glanced toward the bathroom. “Si Nuo? What’s going on with your system?”
Si Nuo was utterly incapable of transmitting a vocal response. At this precise milestone, his stomach was contracting in agonizing waves the violent stress response triggered by waking from a severe nightmare historically required a significant buffer window to fully pass.
Receiving zero data feedback, Zhang Yu rose from his bed to manually run a diagnostic check. He discovered Si Nuo slumped directly onto the floor, leaning limply against the wall. His face was entirely devoid of color, and his forehead was heavily beaded with cold sweat. “Are you logging another physical collapse?”
Si Nuo closed his eyes, his voice completely raw and raspy: “Give me… a brief moment. I’ll stabilize shortly.”
Zhang Yu retreated back to the main room to pour a cup of warm water for him. “Should we execute a transit routine straight to the hospital?”
Si Nuo shook his head weakly. “No need. Return to your rest cycle first.”
Auditing his current physical parameters, how could Zhang Yu possibly dare to log a sleep cycle? He was genuinely terrified that if his system entered standby, he would wake up tomorrow morning only to find Si Nuo’s chassis had completely flatlined. “What’s your status right now? Do you require manual lifting support to migrate back to the mattress?”
Having consumed a few micro-sipping loops of the warm water, the volatile contents of Si Nuo’s stomach had mostly cleared out. He propped his frame up against the surface. “I can manage the locomotive transit independently.”
Zhang Yu reached out an arm to firmly hoist him up anyway. “Under these specific environmental variables, your system is fully authorized to display vulnerability. Why has your system continuously triggered a waking-vomit loop lately?”
Si Nuo felt an intense wave of helplessness manifest within his core. Over the course of this single month, he had actively endured several high-intensity nightmares; every single time he was startled awake, his physical chassis suffered a severe, prolonged penalty cycle. “It’s nothing serious. Perhaps my physical sleeping posture simply lacked optimal structural alignment.”
Tucking him securely back into the mattress layout, Zhang Yu replenished the water volume within the vessel. “If the discomfort parameters fail to downscale, you are ordered to report to the campus infirmary first thing tomorrow morning.”
Si Nuo nodded softly. “Understood. Go log your rest cycle. I’ll stabilize after reclining for a short duration.”
“Mm. If the discomfort spikes again, initialize a high-volume vocal summon to wake my sector, alright?”
Lying flat on the mattress, Si Nuo no longer dared to authorize a sleep cycle, intensely terrified that the second his core went offline, his system would automatically resume the exact timeline of that horrific dream.
Concurrently, at that precise timestamp, Guan Xingchen violently broke out of his own sleep cycle, a razor-sharp, lethal aura of absolute pure slaughter flashing across his deep black eyes.
The high-precision medical telemetry array monitoring his physical vitals immediately discharged an incredibly piercing, high-frequency alarm, forcing the Adjutant who was quartered in the adjacent residential chamber to execute a high-speed sprint into the room. “Your Highness! Did your system interface with the nightmare matrix again?”
Guan Xingchen calmly uncoupled the monitoring arrays from his wrist coordinates. “My system is functional. Return to your standby station.”
Registering that his commander still maintained an elite coefficient of cold self-control, the Adjutant’s internal anxiety metrics slightly stabilized. He was intensely aware that during these specific milestones, Guan Xingchen fiercely despised any external psychological interference, prompting him to silently retreat from the chamber.
The following dawn, Si Nuo developed a severe fever parameter without a single shred of statistical suspense.
The campus medical officer audited his arrival with an expression entirely devoid of surprise. “According to my predictive algorithms, your system was mathematically guaranteed to report to this coordinate within these two days.”
An amused smile slipped past Si Nuo’s lips. “Doctor, your database is simply far too familiar with my profile.”
The medical officer pointed a finger toward an open clinic bed. “Migrate your frame over there and recline.”
As for the exact technical loop of how his fragile chassis had successfully engineered another fever state, Si Nuo was far too exhausted to even audit the variables.
Reclining on the mattress while hooked up to an intravenous drip array, Si Nuo’s processing core drifted into a hazy, semi-somnolent state. Sheltered under the warm, radiant data of the natural sunlight this time, his system entirely bypassed any terrifying dream matrices, allowing him to log an exceptionally restorative, premium-tier rest cycle.
However, the absolute second he forced his visual sensors to blink open, his hazy perception captured what strongly resembled the physical silhouette of Guan Xingchen.
“You’ve cleared the sleep cycle?” Sitting right adjacent to his coordinate, the massive man rose to close the physical distance.
Only then did Si Nuo confirm that his visual sensors weren’t generating a hallucination matrix. “Why has your unit materialized at this coordinate?”
Guan Xingchen smoothly passed the nearby water cup across to his palm. “Did our sectors not formulate a definitive pact to audit your painting workflow today? The moment I initialized entry at your department, they transmitted the data stating your unit was stationed right here.”
Supporting his torso to sit upright against the frame, Si Nuo managed a soft smile. “My deepest apologies, I—”
Guan Xingchen’s gaze locked dead-center onto his face. “Why does your system possess such a high frequency for transmitting apology data? Suboptimal health metrics do not comprise a structural fault on your end. The absolute second this medical injection loop terminates, you are migrating back to my residential sector. Your physical chassis demands high-tier systemic conditioning.”
Si Nuo’s internal security grid instantly tightened. He continuously processed an underlying sensation that Guan Xingchen’s baseline treatment toward his profile was bordering on being far too premium. “I process an optimization milestone; my system should logically be able to—”
“Be obedient.”
Those two simple, absolute words caused a sudden, intense wave of heat to bloom straight across Si Nuo’s cheeks. He rapidly executed a sequence of tiny micro-suction loops from the cup to artificially downscale his facial temperature.
The medical officer marched into the chamber at that exact moment. Catching the data display, a bright smile broke across her face. “Ah, navigating life with a matched partner yields a completely altered operational matrix, doesn’t it? Finally, a dedicated asset has entered the field to manage your care protocols.”
Suddenly targeted by the medical officer’s playful banter, the crimson tide on Si Nuo’s cheeks deepened significantly. Just as he cleared his vocal tract to deploy a structural clarification, Guan Xingchen preempted him: “The kid possesses highly fragile physical parameters. I must request your sector to deploy maximum clinical diligence.”
Hearing this, the smile on the medical officer’s face bloomed into absolute brilliance. “It is highly optimal that your core retains that realization. My database was honestly terrified that his personality matrix defaulted to a ‘report the updates, suppress the grievances’ protocol. It appears he completely unloads his absolute data gate when interfacing with your sector.”
Guan Xingchen’s visual array remained locked onto Si Nuo, his eyes overflowing with a soft, teasing amusement. “Mm.”
Si Nuo screamed internally: When on earth did my system ever unload a single data gate to him?!
Concluding the intravenous injection loop, Si Nuo descended from the clinic bed, processing a significant optimization to his physical parameters. “Have you executed a meal liquidation routine yet? Let my sector sponsor a meal for your unit.”
Auditing the youth who was intensely anxious to immediately balance out their personal favor ledger, Guan Xingchen countered smoothly: “I’m afraid executing that specific loop is unauthorized today. Your unit must accompany me back to base.”
Si Nuo: “……”
Fine. It appears this specific directive is completely hard-coded and cannot be bypassed.
Following Guan Xingchen out of the campus infirmary, their transit trajectory perfectly intersected with the peak-intensity class dismissal window. Guan Xingchen inherently emitted a staggeringly potent aura of absolute dominance; as they marched along the campus grid, they generated a literal black hole of attention, pulling in massive quantities of external visual tracking.
Sensing the heavy wave of eyes threatening to entirely submerge them, Si Nuo processed a distinct flash of localized discomfort.
Detecting the sudden rigid transition in the youth beside him, Guan Xingchen naturally extended a massive palm, smoothly locking his fingers straight around Si Nuo’s wrist.
Si Nuo’s entire chassis experienced a temporary system freeze. Yet, his core declined to initialize a physical struggle sequence, slowly and seamlessly shifting back into a natural, relaxed rhythm.
Processing that the youth had transitioned from absolute structural rigidity to passive, unspoken acceptance within an incredibly compressed buffer window, the corners of Guan Xingchen’s mouth gently curved upward into a phantom smile.
At that exact milestone, the students processing this specific visual feed couldn’t resist broadcasting intense waves of pure envy: “Si Nuo’s matched partner genuinely originates from the First Military Academy next door, right?! He has officially materialized on our campus to locate Si Nuo yet again!”
“If he truly traces back to that sector, it mathematically guarantees he operates as an S-grade mental power asset! I heard the absolute absolute baseline enrollment threshold over there is restricted to A-grade, while the macro distribution heavily defaults to S-grade. Si Nuo is simply far too elite!”
“Isn’t the absolute core variable the fact that the partner asset displays an elite coefficient of tenderness toward Si Nuo? He actively deploys support during painting subroutines, and the absolute second Si Nuo registers a health collapse, he materializes instantly to execute care protocols. Heavens! If the Central System’s matched assets all mirror this specific gold standard, I demand the system initialize a matchmaking loop for my profile ahead of schedule!”
……
The higher the volume of these admiring text streams grew, the more catastrophic the psychic damage scores registered straight against Ren Ju’s coordinates nearby.
Sitting right adjacent to the blast zone, Zhang Yu watched Ren Ju’s facial muscles distort into a highly suboptimal, dark mask, his internal core practically exploding with pure, unadulterated joy.
Didn’t your sector historically brag to high heaven that your matched asset possessed an A-grade mental power parameter?
“Ren Ju, why has your matched partner failed to execute a single locomotive transit to our campus to locate your unit?”
His seemingly casual, thoroughly unbothered diagnostic inquiry instantly pulled the tracking arrays of the surrounding entities straight to their coordinates. A peer immediately deployed supplementary vocal support: “Correct, Ren Ju! An extensive duration has cleared the timeline, yet our databases retain zero visual parameters regarding your partner’s aesthetics. When is your system scheduled to authorize an introductory loop for the group?”
“An authentic A-grade mental power asset! Although it structures a minor step down when analyzed against the apex elite matched to Si Nuo, it still represents an exceptionally premium configuration! I heard Ren Ju’s partner operates as an established societal asset with an active corporate career. Upon executing the marriage protocol, your financial ledger is mathematically guaranteed to be free of stress metrics forever. Ren Ju, when are your sectors pulling the official marriage certificates? Do not dare to omit our sector when distributing the premium celebratory confections!”
Ren Ju processed these incoming audio feeds as being exceptionally grating and razor-sharp. If Si Nuo’s matched partner hadn’t been deployed as a monumental benchmark directly ahead of his position, his current asset allocation would have mapped onto an elite tier. Yet, ever since his visual sensors had audited that magnificent entity at the restaurant, an intense wave of toxic non-resignation had permanently locked down Ren Ju’s core.
On what logical grounds does Si Nuo an absolute fragile baseline asset who ranks inferior to my profile on every single metric deserve to be matched to an elite entity of that supreme magnitude?!
“I am afraid my data stream must deliver a severe calculation error to your expectations our units have officially executed a termination protocol against our relationship matrix.” Ren Ju forced a bright, flawless smile to map onto his face as he scanned the group. “After processing the parameters through deep reflection… my lifecycle age remains exceptionally miniature; there is zero requirement to lock down a marriage contract this early. After all, my account ledger does not rely on post-marital government subsidies to survive, correct?”
Zhang Yu stared dead-center at the absolute maximum physical strain required to sustain that fake smile. “Your former partner asset was undeniably vastly inferior when analyzed against the gold standard matched to Si Nuo. Executing a termination loop is an optimal choice; a clean break is a clean break.”
The surrounding peers immediately patch-loaded comfort data: “Correct! A clean break is a clean break. Look at Si Nuo his profile had to cycle through the matching pool an extensive number of iterations before the system finally generated an asset of that caliber. Your system is fully cleared to mimic that trajectory; what if your next cycle randomly matches onto a pure S-grade mental power titan? Wouldn’t that represent an astronomical profit margin for your ledger?”
Zhang Yu chimed in with peak-tier malicious cheer: “Precisely! Your system must permanently preserve an elite coefficient of self-confidence. The absolute second an asset displays suboptimal performance, simply cycle them out for the next allocation. Regardless of the variables, your lifecycle remains exceptionally young, and your profile strictly declines to rely on post-marital government subsidies to survive!”
Do these abstract entities genuinely analyze S-grade mental power titans as common, wild field vegetation that can be casually harvested at whim?
Furthermore, even if his system miraculously managed to trigger an S-grade match down the line… what of it? The absolute finest, undisputed crown-jewel asset of the entire matching matrix has already been permanently locked down by our Si Nuo!
