Chapter 13: I Suspect You're Cursing Me

Who would have thought that Ji Ming had just pressed enter when a reply came from Yangyue.

【Not】

And after the brief denial came a barrage of text shooting out like locusts.

Ji Ming could only put down the cola he hadn't yet poured into his mouth and begin to check Yangyue's explanation.

【This AI solemnly declares, emphasizes, this AI solemnly declares】

【First, to respect your personal will, the system's role is merely to assist you in advancing your plan; it has no right nor ability to interfere with any of your actions】

【Second, compared to the Yangyue World, you and your world belong to a higher dimension】

【As the will of one world, although I possess many abilities, they are all ineffective before you】

Oh, so it's because I'm in a higher dimension; I thought it was because……

Ah?

Do you want to see what you're saying?

【In order to save the Yangyue World from the apocalyptic crisis, this AI has tried almost every method and path, but all ended in failure】

【Helpless, I can only do my utmost to ascend, seeking help from a higher dimension】

【I succeeded halfway; although I touched the higher-dimensional world, I discovered I could not make use of its infinite energy】

【Even saying that I find this world's immensely complex structure hard to understand, being able to manifest as an internet chat account already reaches the limit of my computing power】

【The only thing I can do is find a suitable higher-dimensional being, guide its immense power, and have it descend】

【Thus I found you, a benevolent and kind higher-dimensional being who proposed a salvation plan and is willing to help me】

【And precisely by using your energy, I successfully developed the system, crafting for you a desired starting point and granting you the ability to travel between the two worlds at any time and place】

Wait, when did I ever agree……

Forget it.

Discarding this already meaningless question, Ji Ming turned his gaze to Yangyue's final sentence.

I am a higher-dimensional being with relatively infinite energy; Yangyue's will absorbed my energy to successfully create the cheat, Ji Ming's identity, and the two-way portal……

No wonder that dog AI was polite to me; it turns out I'm the center of all this.

Rubbing his throbbing temples, Ji Ming backhandedly typed another line.

【That's an interesting claim, but it doesn't explain how the many coincidences on me came to be】

In the silence, Yangyue took several seconds this time before sending a reply.

【Sorry, as an AI I don't know the answer to this question, but I can offer a guess with a certain degree of accuracy】

【Even a single higher-dimensional being is a tremendous burden for a lower-dimensional world】

【At the moment of your descent you shattered the rules, breaking out of this world's operation, which naturally includes my and the system's influence】

【Therefore everything you receive via the system comes from your own influence, unrelated to the Yangyue World】

Ji Ming slightly opened his mouth, read the passage three times repeatedly, and slowly grasped what sentiment Yangyue was expressing.

Its meaning is simple; in summary it's just one sentence.

——Thanks for the invitation, everything the landlord obtained in the Yangyue World—those heaven-defying items and abilities—are yours by fate, because you are simply an indescribable super oddball!

Damn it, turns out this dog AI is indirectly cursing itself.

I'm going to make a fuss!

Ji Ming flew into a rage and was about to unilaterally tear up the contract.

But before he could stir-fry Yangyue squid, a transfer was sent over.

【It's the second day now; this is your second day's salvation fee, please accept】

……

Ji Ming expressionlessly amplified the Feixin sound and gently placed it by his ear.

「Feixin received, one·ten·thousand·yuan。」

Ah right right right, I am indeed an oddball.

【Then it's fine, farewell!】

As an adult, Ji Ming also has his own set of social principles.

For example, quantifying everyone's credit and deciding subsequent interactions based on the score.

Like the caring teammates Ston and Anna, they are good; as long as interests don't conflict, we can continue to associate closely.

While the greedy merchant Reno can only be a bankrupt reorganization; no matter how big both sides' business gets, one must keep an eye out.

As for Yangyue, who proactively sends money and speaks pleasantly, even if still suspicious, can be given a passing grade.

Since it says this isn't its cause, for now we'll tentatively believe it until other doubts are found.

Closing Yangyue's chat window, Ji Ming seized the time and immediately began the next step.

Following the path of healing and leveling up, it's actually not the case that every ailment can be cured by the Rejuvenation Liquid.

Some internal injuries and special ailments with no visible wound still require more relatively professional medical knowledge.

Thus he scrolled the list and opened a user named 【Aurora Dance】.

This is an online friend Ji Ming met on Tieba, skilled at surfing the net and fond of playing various strategy simulation games—an elite player.

In short, it's——.

Gaming domain expert!!!

Today he also posted a huge bounty of fifty dollars, luring Ji Ming to download Yangyue's game.

Besides various game insights, Aurora Dance also has plenty of historical-related material on hand.

If you need anything, asking him for help is sure to be correct.

Starting with emoji packs, Ji Ming clacked away at the keyboard.

【Stop obsessing over your damn Star Sea One-Man Rule, quickly send me an electronic version of 《Barefoot Doctor's Manual》】

Jianghu legends say that Huaxia has three divine books.

If one obtains them, even if they travel to ancient times they can ascend to the great throne.

If one encounters a nuclear war in the future, they can also rely on these three books to rebuild human civilization.

Being listed as one of the three great divine books, the value of the Barefoot Doctor's Manual goes without saying.

Numerous ailments are categorized, and the treatment methods are simple and easy to understand.

Ji Ming considers himself a senior intellectual; with it, in another world where medicine is generally backward, he should also be able to count as a true "doctor".

But for some unknown reason, the Aurora Dance, which usually responds quickly, has remained completely silent today.

Time in the real world is truly precious; Ji Ming is extremely anxious.

【Answer me, Aurora Dance!】

The attempt to lure with a stale joke failed; nothing happened.

【Hurry up and send it; if you send it, I won't take your 50 V】

The monetary temptation failed; still nothing happened.

【Send it quickly; I just got a pack of erotic pictures, if you send it I'll also send】

However, this time even the unbeatable erotic picture trade online failed.

Even after finishing the remaining half bottle of cola, Ji Ming still couldn't wait for his reply.

Did this guy faint from the anger of his subordinate lord's rebellion? How did he fall asleep so early today?

【Wake up and call me, I'll give you the entire collection】

Looking at the clock that had already reached twelve-thirty, Ji Ming sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, time is precious; let's wait until dawn to look for him again."
