Modu
Inside a certain university dormitory
[May ‘Romance’ never leave the stage~]
[Life is as fragile as a thread~]
*Ding~*
“Ah, how boring, another 0-cycle…
another 0-cycle.
This A830 is no good either.”
With a kick of his feet, Ayin’s gaming chair rolled back with a whoosh, carrying him away from the computer desk.
On the computer screen, three large’S’ ranks stood conspicuously in the center.
“Screw you, starting with 5 shoes and rolling Cyrene with a 1% probability?
Even a dog could win with that.”
His roommate nearby rolled his eyes at him in annoyance,
silently complaining about his lucky dog of a roommate while tossing a delivery box from the floor over to him.
“Instead of drooling at the computer screen, you should think about how to survive on your last 100 yuan before your allowance comes at the beginning of the month.”
Ayin reached out to catch the box, pulled a utility knife from his drawer, and swiftly sliced the package open.
“I don’t even need that hundred yuan.
I can still live a comfortable life.
See this?
I’ve already prepared my rations!”
Ayin pulled a small bag of bread from the box and showed it off with a smug face.
“The night before last, with a stroke of genius, I snatched 120 bags of meal replacement bread for just 9.9 yuan.
Be jealous.”
“How about it…
just call me daddy, and I’ll send you the link right now.”
His roommate’s eyelid twitched upon hearing this, and he threw an empty cigarette box from the desk at him.
“120 bags for 9.9?
You actually dare to eat that?
Aren’t you afraid of ascending directly to Planet Gastritis after eating it?”
“Heh, it doesn’t judge you for being poor, yet you judge it for being cheap.
Besides, I bought this through official channels.”
Ayin dodged the cigarette box, whipped out his phone, smoothly opened Pinxixi, and quickly tapped the screen a few times.
“What the heck?
Why can’t I find this shop?
Even the order has disappeared.
Is it haunted?”
He glanced at his phone screen,
and then looked at the bread he had just taken out of the box with a face full of suspicion, completely bewildered.
“Product Name: Cramming Bread.
Instructions: Place the bread on a book or any item with [content].
Wait for three seconds, then eat it to permanently acquire the knowledge on it…”
His roommate stood up and walked over, reading the words on the bread packaging word for word:
“This is total BS.
Does the seller think they’re Doraemon?…No wonder they sold it to you so cheap, it’s false advertising!”
Ayin was also stunned for a moment,
and then, in a’screw it’ attitude, tossed his phone aside and ripped open the packaging.
“Who cares if it’s Doraemon or Dora-B-mon, it’s not like it can kill me.
Besides, the shop is gone now, so I can’t even get a refund.”
As he spoke, he shuffled back to his computer desk, wiggled his mouse, and opened a commonly used AI software.
“Fortune favors the bold.
Copying books is so boring; people play with this nowadays.”
“Then again, I actually hope what’s written is true.
That way, I wouldn’t have to worry about final exams.”
With that,
Ayin first pressed the bread against the AI interface on the computer screen, and then devoured the bread in just a few bites.
Perhaps because he ate too fast, he let out a satisfied burp after swallowing.
“Nothing’s happening.
I thought the seller was cooking up something big, but it turned out to be nothing but hot air.”
“But I have to say, this bread is seasoned just right and tastes okay, though it feels a bit…”
*Boom—*
Mid-sentence,
Ayin suddenly felt a massive surge of memory energy rush from his stomach to his brain.
The bread, which had copied the entire AI database, carried nearly all the [Remembrance] and [knowledge] of the entire Earth, bombarding his brain like cannonballs.
“Oh no, guys, I bought the real deal…”
*Thud*
Before he could finish his sentence, Ayin’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out cold.
Vaguely, an almost invisible blue light quickly merged into his arm…
Honkai: Star Rail World
Somewhere in an unknown region of space
“Where…
is this?
Wasn’t I in my dorm?”
Who knows how much time had passed before Ayin finally recovered from the tearing pain.
“Oh, little one~ You’re awake!”
“Don’t worry, the surgery was a success.
You are now a soft, sweet-smelling little loli.”
Just then,
a strange person whose face could not be clearly seen, dressed in a nurse’s outfit, walked over slowly from the distance.
As he spun around to size up Ayin, he teased him with a few words.
“Holy crap, my junk!”
“Wait…
that’s not right…”
Ayin was startled by the words and hurriedly reached down to check, only to realize:
The surroundings looked like outer space.
Although he didn’t know exactly where he was, how could there possibly be someone in a nurse’s uniform walking over from the distance in a place like this?!
“Oh dear, I’ve been found out.
How embarrassing, boohoo~”
Seeing that Ayin had caught on, the nurse lost interest in teasing him.
After sobbing dramatically a few times, they turned away, looking as if they had suffered a great injustice.
“Who are you?
Where is this?
Am I still in the country?”
Ayin raised an eyebrow, kicked his legs to float forward a bit, and asked a series of questions.
“As you can see, this is the edge of a meteoroid belt.
As for the location…
fly a few more light-years forward, and you’ll find the space station of that inventor with the pointy head.”
“And as for me…
hehehe, I am the Aeon of Trailblaze, Akivili~ How about it?
Do you want to join the Trailblaze?
I can lend you my power.”
The weird person crossed his arms and explained with an air of mock seriousness.
As if to prove he wasn’t lying,
he pointed behind Ayin and added with a hint of excitement in his tone,
“Look, a firework is about to go off~”
*Rumble!!!*
Just as the words left his mouth, two massive meteoroids at the edge of the belt collided out of nowhere.
The powerful shockwave almost blew Ayin away.
“Holy shit, what the hell is this?!”
Swearing loudly, Ayin used every ounce of his strength to paddle forward.
Putting aside how awkward his movements looked, he was actually moving quite fast.
*Wrrr…*
Just as he was wriggling forward while turning his head to observe the situation,
a sudden change occurred!
A familiar tearing sensation swept over him once again, freezing Ayin in place just as he was about to escape danger.
“Oh no, why now of all times!”
“Wait, it feels like something is about to…”
Just when Ayin thought he was going to crash and perish, a gentle energy suddenly flowed into his eyes,
then slowly traveled downward, passing through his internal organs, before finally settling in his hands.
Immediately after,
a pale yellow [sheet of paper] made of an unknown substance and a light blue [pen] appeared out of thin air in his hands.
Before Ayin could snap out of it, an inexplicable urge welled up in his heart, like a traveler in the desert spotting a clear spring.
This peculiar urge drove Ayin to’spread’ the [paper] out in the starry sky before him in an almost impossible posture, as if there were an actual table in front of him.
His right hand, tightly gripping the pen, began to vibrate at near-light speed, rapidly splashing colors onto the [paper].
A few seconds later,
something resembling a [light cone] manifested directly beneath his [pen].
