Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1552: Chapter 1542: Avoidance

But this time, Jiang Cheng didn’t get drunk, so he didn’t even call a driver to drive him, however, looking at Ma Tian beside him, he was already drunk beyond recognition. Could this Biological Function Enhancement Ring really have the effect of sobering him up? In the past, what Jiang Cheng got from the system was always related to the field of computing, and though every item was excellent, over time he was no longer excited. But this time Jiang Cheng took an interest in this ring. He saw that the starlight within this seemingly jade ring appeared unusually clear in the ink night. Wait, no, is it possible that there are real stars inside this ring?

System, did you put a galaxy into this ring?” Jiang Cheng asked in his mind.

Master, it’s not what you think it is. This ring is also a product of advanced technology, but the technology on your planet is too backward, so you haven’t yet touched on this area of technology.

”What you see as stars is just a form of stellar energy. According to your level of understanding, this ring can be considered as an Ink Cave, which can contain everything, but you need to develop it and upgrade it yourself. Of course, currently, the primary function of this ring is to transform your body,” the system explained.

Apparently, the power of technology is really strong,” Jiang Cheng remarked. He remembered how after waking from a car crash, he realized the whole world had changed. System, how did you enter my body?” Jiang Cheng had always been confused about this, but he didn’t want to offend the system. Now, Jiang Cheng remembered, and he asked.

That’s right, Master. As you initially proposed the theory of relativity, this universe does indeed have parallel timelines. Actually, you before the car crash and you now are entirely different; you are two people from different timelines,” the system explained.

”So what you’re saying is, in the other timeline, I’ve already died?” Jiang Cheng asked.

In the other timeline, perhaps you’ve become a vegetative state, or perhaps ”Zero Six Three” has already died. Anyway, survival was impossible, because your spiritual power has folded from another timeline and transformed here. You could also consider this a rebirth,” the system replied.

So, does everyone in this timeline have you?” Jiang Cheng continued to ask.

At present, any technology that arises is within the recognized range, and it advances according to your speed of invention, so far it can be confirmed that only you possess me,” the system said.

”Then how did you merge into my body?” Jiang Cheng asked. I originally came from a planet in the Amoeba galaxy, where the technology is thousands of years ahead of yours! I was forced to land on this planet after a failed interstellar mission, and then I was sucked into your former timeline by the Ink Cave. In a coincidence, my spiritual power entered your brain, allowing us to coexist,” the system said.

Jiang Cheng was surprised to learn his body was actually parasitized by an alien organism. But he was very grateful that the system did not harm him! Instead, it helped change his destiny.

System, since your spiritual power has entered my body, where did your original form go?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”My original form couldn’t withstand the damage of the Ink Cave and was destroyed. My spiritual power only entered you when your condition was weak. Initially, it was just a trace of spiritual power; you developed technology with my guidance, allowing my spiritual power to recover, making conversation with you possible,” the system explained.

Has your spiritual power fully recovered now?

So far, only 2% has recovered, Master, you need to enhance your abilities greatly, not just in technology, but also in physical fitness. I will help you evolve to the peak of humanity,” the system stated.

Why would you help me?” Jiang Cheng was a bit puzzled, as an alien organism lived inside his body, which was basically parasitism. The system was so powerful that even with only 2% of its spiritual power, it managed to have so much advanced technology and product information. If it fully recovers, nobody knows who would be parasitized then; perhaps the system might just clear him out.

Since I am parasitized inside your body, of course, I would help you. If something happens to you, my spiritual power would be completely gone,” the system said.

”Can you restore your original form if your spiritual power recovers?” Jiang Cheng asked, voicing his most concerned question.

On our planet, the physical form isn’t important; spiritual power is our soul and essence. The form is just a shell, so there’s no need to restore it, though it’s not impossible—it would just be troublesome!” the system replied.

Jiang Cheng still worried if the system’s spiritual power recovered, who knows who would control whom by then.

Master, rest assured. Even when my spiritual power recovers, it will not override your body and will. I forgot to tell you that the relationship between parasite and host cannot be reversed, just like the universal laws of your time; all development should not violate this law.

The system’s answer finally resolved Jiang Cheng’s confusion. Now, he no longer worried. Instantly, he felt much more relaxed and free.

The relationship between parasite and host cannot be reversed. That’s some comforting news, isn’t it?

Having resolved the confusion, Jiang Cheng began to examine the ring on his hand. Since this ring can unseal the Ink Cave, naturally no matter how much he drinks, he can’t get drunk. Thinking carefully, Jiang Cheng finally realized the reason why he didn’t get drunk today despite drinking so much.

If that’s the case, let’s see what other functions this ring has. Seemingly today, my physical strength has become unprecedentedly abundant; could it be that my strength could surpass mountains and cover the world?

Thinking this way, Jiang Cheng became excited. He immediately walked to the barbell, adding weight until it reached 25kg. Hmm, let’s try.

Jiang Cheng stepped back, moved his neck to stretch. With preparation done, he opened his mouth.

Perfectly lifted the 25kg barbell. ”Uh! Hold on, hold on.”

Jiang Cheng felt power continuously flowing from the ring. The barbell seemed to become lighter and lighter in his hands.

Whoa, this ring has this ability too. It can relieve gravity?” Jiang Cheng was very excited.

Master, you’ve only seen a tiny part of the ring’s functions. It will help you a lot in the future,” the system’s voice sounded again.

With this, doesn’t it mean I can lift anything? Back in the day, how much manpower and time Yu Gong spent to move a mountain is unknown. Now, if I were to move a mountain, it would probably be easy for Jiang Cheng!” Jiang Cheng thought and then laughed heartily.

After testing the ring’s effectiveness, Jiang Cheng realized more functions awaited him to develop, which he couldn’t explore all at once. Some things required not just strength but also luck.

By chance and coincidence, maybe another system might even appear in Jiang Cheng’s mind.

Returning to his villa, he found it empty with only himself living there. Maybe it was time to find a companion. Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of Mu Xue.

They’ve been together for two or three months now. Recalling Mu Xue, she is a really nice girl, but unfortunately, dating is one thing, living together is another, as Mu Xue was always avoiding Jiang Cheng. Despite that, there were still many girls pursuing Jiang Cheng. Success, wealth, many men have that. But success, wealth, youth, fame, and good looks—aside from Jiang Cheng, it seemed there was truly no one else. Or those people are either married or simply not focused on love.
