Chapter 81: System Rewards, and the Heart-Stitching Bear [Seeking Data!]

【Ding! You have successfully retroactively tampered with a piece of history; you have taken another step forward on the path of the "Scribe of Fiction"!】

【However, compared to you, the "Scribes of Fiction" merely use words to tamper with records and symbols to obfuscate the truth.】

【You have successfully made the entire universe believe that the ancient human nuclear test was conducted to eliminate "SCP-008".】

【Perhaps, in the infinitely distant future, descendants of humanity will return to this forgotten mother planet and find this vanished city.】

【Ding! You have become a Level 1 Reality Bender. Although this power is still weak at the moment, its upper limit is unimaginable.】

【Ding! You have acquired the traits "Disease Immunity" and "Disease Self-Healing." Now, your bodily fluids can replace "SCP-500." You should know very well what this implies.】

【Ding! You have obtained a Scranton Reality Anchor. We do not produce reality; we are merely the porters of reality.】

【Now, you may prepare to deploy the next SCP.】

【Note: Do not always use the "starship accident" trope. If you do it too often, others will start to suspect the Foundation's quality control.】

As the system's notification sound rang out, many pieces of equipment that looked like experimental instruments appeared in a special room of the Foundation.

It appeared to be a flat hexagonal prism; other than that, it was not significantly different from other instruments and equipment.

And when it comes to Reality Anchors and Reality Benders...

One must mention a concept—the Hume Index, which is the unit for measuring the degree of reality.

Reality is like a tray of sand, yet it is not necessarily distributed uniformly across space.

A higher Hume value indicates "more reality," and vice versa.

Reality Benders are existences that possess a higher Hume level than the surrounding space; conversely, there are also "Reality-Bended" individuals whose Hume levels are lower than their surroundings.

As for a Level 1 Reality Bender...

Basically, the things they can do include: bending spoons with telekinesis and moving objects from a distance.

There are also some Level 1 Reality Benders who can exert subtle influences on the subconscious of those around them, making themselves more popular in daily life.

No matter how you look at it, Bai Xuan's existing abilities have already covered these.

However, higher-level Reality Benders can even achieve absurd feats like reshaping the world with a single thought.

One can only say that the future is promising.

After receiving the rewards, Bai Xuan gently patted March 7th's forehead.

The latter was still hanging on him, showing absolutely no sign of moving.

Although being soft and squishy was indeed very comfortable.

"Little March, it's time to go out for a walk."

"The train won't be docked for too long. Are there any other places you want to visit?"

"Places I still want to visit..." March 7th blinked, thinking about what other fun places there were on the "Herta" Space Station.

But no matter how she thought about it, she didn't seem to find anything more fun than staying by Bai Xuan's side.

Before reaching the next stop, there was absolutely no problem with staying in the room like this.

"Then let's go find Station Master Asta to chat first, and then go to Herta's Curio Collection Room..."

"Hmm... yes, let's start with those. If there's still time later, we can just wander around together~"

Thinking this, March 7th pulled Bai Xuan's hand, urging the other to go out together.

In the room illuminated only by the computer screen, the two tidied up their messy clothes, turned off the screen, and familiarly opened the door to enter the corridor.

Just after coming out, they saw a figure leaning against the cabin wall, lost in thought.

It was "Stelle".

Not expecting anyone to be here at all, March 7th was startled into stopping in her tracks.

"Ahem."

But immediately, she composed her expression, put one hand on her hip, and greeted "Stelle":

"Stelle, are you done chatting with Himeko?"

She had turned back into the sunny, cheerful girl everyone knew.

Sensing someone approaching, "Stelle" raised her head, her golden eyes very calm:

"Yes, I am."

"Stelle" changed her posture, no longer leaning against the cabin wall, and spoke slowly:

"Himeko suggested that I finish what I want to do and see the people I want to see, and then go find her to give her an answer."

Speaking of this, that scene from not long ago flashed through her mind again.

Consequently, her breathing became somewhat rapid.

"Stelle" felt her face heating up and hurriedly swallowed, but her gaze still shifted slightly between Bai Xuan and March 7th:

"However, I saw that you two... were very busy, so... I went to chat with Dan Heng and Pom-Pom first."

A single sentence caused March 7th's brain to overload.

In that instant, she felt the entire world drifting away from her.

A secret that couldn't be discovered had been seen by someone else. March 7th's face was bright red, and she looked at Bai Xuan helplessly, trying to seek help.

She was just one step away from saying, "Help me, omnipotent Little Bai!"

She didn't have much of a concept for these kinds of things!

Even in the bedtime stories Bai Xuan told her, there were no similar plot points.

Walking out of the room, Bai Xuan watched this scene with a smile and didn't say much, instead picking up March 7th horizontally and demonstrating it again in front of "Stelle".

"Oh!"

"Stelle" stared blankly as Bai Xuan put March 7th down, stared blankly at the equally dazed March 7th, slowly raised her right hand, popped her thumb out, and gave a thumbs up.

"Do it more, I love watching."

March 7th closed her eyes and waited for a few seconds, but didn't wait for a follow-up. Sighing inwardly, she opened her eyes.

She reorganized her emotions, looked at the gray-haired, golden-eyed girl, and changed the subject:

"You're going to board the train with us, right?"

"Stelle" looked at Bai Xuan, then at the revitalized March 7th, and nodded slightly:

"Do you want me to come?"

March 7th smiled and nodded:

"Need you even ask? We've gotten along very well on this journey, and we're the same age."

However, when she said the words "same age," the corners of Bai Xuan's mouth curled up, and "Stelle's" eyes flickered evasively.

March 7th continued:

"If you have any worries or doubts, just ask them directly."

"Stelle" nodded and suddenly sighed about life:

"Time flies so fast."

March 7th's mouth twitched, completely not expecting "Stelle's" train of thought to be so jumpy:

"That sigh came out of nowhere..."

"... But, recalling when we were in the Storage Zone, I was still thinking that this child must be very weak after fainting, so I had to take good care of you. I didn't expect you to pick up a baseball bat and become full of life."

"In the blink of an eye, you're even able to participate in the battle against the Doomsday Beast and save me... I haven't even thanked you properly yet..."

"Are you going to board the train with us?"

Regarding boarding the train, "Stelle" nodded.

When Bai Xuan first made a prophecy about her, she still had some doubts and wasn't sure what to do next.

But after chatting in detail with Herta, Asta, and others, and helping some staff members resolve their mental issues... ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
