Chapter 596 Chips

[Oh, right, right, look at my memory! I almost forgot the most important thing! Quick, quick, give me back my share! QAQ]

After Lin Xiyue's reminder, the system seemed to wake up from a dream and eagerly urged her to hurry up.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it back to you right away. Actually, I've been carrying it with me all afternoon, waiting for you. I wanted you to wake up soon so I could give it to you."

Lin Xiyue quickly agreed, saying she would never go back on her word.

[Hmph~ You deserve it! If you hadn't insisted I block you yesterday, why would I have set a 24-hour alarm just to avoid disturbing you by coming out early?! (￣▽￣)／]

The system clearly harbored resentment, constantly making "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" sounds, its face full of undisguised complaint.

"Alright, alright, stop talking, I'll give it to you! But... how are you going to take it away and then fuse it?"

Upon hearing the system's words, Lin Xiyue dared not delay and quickly took out the box that Moros had given her for safekeeping.

This box contains a part of the system.

It turns out that, for some reason (perhaps related to the system itself), the box could not be placed into her space.

That's why Lin Xiyue could only hold it and walk around for as long as she could, since she wasn't sure when the system would wake up.

When Lin Xiyue gently lifted the lid of the box, she was finally able to see the true appearance of the item.

The inside of the box was lined with a thick layer of black velvet, presumably to protect the contents from bumps and knocks.

Against this pitch-black background, right in the center, was something that looked like a chip.

The reason for using the word "similar" to describe it is that although its appearance is very similar to a common chip, a closer look reveals that its material is not like that of a regular chip; it is mostly made of metal.

On the contrary, this piece looks more like a plastic product, giving it an extremely cheap feel, even like a cheap toy part for children.

"Hey! I mean, is this really part of you? It looks so cheap..."

Faced with this situation, Lin Xiyue couldn't help but widen her eyes and ask the system a question with a face full of suspicion.

There's no way around it, this is just unbelievable.

Lin Xiyue looked at this thing and found it hard to believe that such a mysterious system could be associated with something so ordinary and cheap, like a plastic product.

If we were to accept this fact, it would mean that the entire system might be made of these plastics?

This was simply unacceptable to Lin Xiyue.

However, the system did not show the slightest surprise or dissatisfaction in the face of Lin Xiyue's doubts and confusion.

"That's right! This is part of me! Don't be nervous, relax, concentrate, and I'll take care of the rest."

Instead, it seemed to be deeply attracted by the chip in the box in front of it, its eyes sparkling with excitement, and it couldn't wait to call out to Lin Xiyue.

Hearing the system say this, Lin Xiyue didn't dare to delay at all. She immediately focused on adjusting her breathing rhythm and gradually concentrated on her inner feelings, striving to relax her body and mind and empty her mind.

At the same time, she tried to use energy to "see" the system's absorption in an alternative way.

After all, this thing really intrigued her.

[Yes—that's right! Just relax and keep going.]

Now, try to imagine this: you are floating peacefully on a calm, boundless sea, basking in the warm sunshine, seabirds calling in the distance, everything is so peaceful...

The system slowly uttered these words.

It guided Lin Xiyue with a soft and soothing voice, helping her to relax more.

Just as Lin Xiyue was completely immersed in it, the system quietly emerged from the depths of her mind.

If anyone else saw this change, they would probably be terrified.

At this moment, Lin Xiyue, who was leaning against the back of the stool, closed her eyes and relaxed her whole body, as if she were sleeping.

But if someone observes closely, they will be able to discover it.

On one of her temples, a small tuft of thick, dark hair suddenly sprouted, like a new shoot breaking through the soil.

This small tuft of seemingly soft, delicate, feather-light down is actually part of the system's extended tendrils.

Once these tentacles emerged, they danced gracefully in the air like agile dancers, presumably exploring the surrounding environment and sensing the exact location of the "chip".

Once they successfully detected the direction of their target, they instantly stretched several times their original length and rushed straight toward the piece placed beside Lin Xiyue at an astonishing speed.

Just as the two were about to touch, a sharp hissing sound suddenly rang out, as if sparks were flying everywhere when an electric current pierced the air.

Then, something astonishing happened.

Those tentacles that originally looked very tough melted away as quickly as ice and snow meeting the sun.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into a pool of liquid, slowly flowing down the surface.

As time went on, this strange liquid became increasingly turbulent, eventually enveloping the entire body and forming a jet-black hemisphere with a constant flow of solution.

About half a minute later, the object surrounded by layers of light suddenly emitted a low buzzing sound, seemingly foreshadowing some important event that was about to occur...

Then, something amazing happened.

The hemisphere, originally composed of solution, instantly became crystal clear, as pure and flawless as crystal.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into flowing water, revealing the completely renovated "chip" inside.

In just thirty seconds, the tiny chip seemed to undergo a magnificent transformation—its previously unremarkable, cheap, and rough appearance vanished without a trace, replaced by a bright and dazzling luster, like a sparkling pearl radiating a captivating light.

At this moment, no one can associate it with ordinary plastic products anymore.

At this moment, it resembles a finely crafted work of art, its entire body emerald green like jade, smooth and silky, and under the light, it can even refract a dreamlike and colorful fire.

However, the intricately carved chip on it made the whole item appear even more peculiar and bizarre.
