Chapter 2937: The Ultimate Grand Gift Pack!
In the gap of reality, Jiangnan stared blankly at this scene. All the truths and mysteries surfaced along with the development of the original reality!
The system's vendor cloth was the ultimate technological crystallization—combining the full-star anti-pattern of the Silicon-Based Race with the emotional power tech of the Wisdom Sect's terminal!
It integrated multiple functions such as defense, collecting emotional power, and repair!
It even had a bit of rule force written into it using Realm Source Energy!
That's why the vendor cloth could withstand so much damage, and even had an invincibility effect on it!
In fact, it wasn't true invincibility; it was just the combined effect of the full-series star-anti plus the rule force of Realm Source Energy, with an upper limit!
But it was enough to assist Jiangnan in his early stages!
As for the system's small stool, its origin was a small stool left to Qing Ke by her grandfather. Whenever Qing Ke missed her grandfather, she would fiddle with this small stool, pouring an unknown amount of luck into it!
It was precisely because of the massive luck imbued in it that its armor-breaking effect was terrifying!
Just like the small hoes and small shovels Qing Ke often used—this girl's usual trinkets were indeed a bit strange…
However, this small stool had been fiddled with by Qing Ke for the longest time, so it was borrowed to be used as the system's small stool!
Since the small stool itself carried a massive amount of luck, it was already equivalent to a protective charm, invisibly making everything go smoothly for Jiangnan!
And this… was the origin of the armor-breaking artifact, the small stool!
As for skill points, being able to learn any skill? That was even simpler to achieve. Ai Jiang's terminal and the Silicon-Based terminal stored almost all the knowledge and skills of the entire era!
Can't learn something? Just transmit it directly and write it into Jiangnan's consciousness through the system!
Then there was the soul imprint, originally developed to resist the side effects of Black Hole Devouring Star, allowing Jiangnan to discover the erosion problem early on and avoid losing too many experiences!
But… Jiangnan probably used it the wrong way, imprinting all sorts of stimulating things instead…
Jiangnan was completely dumbfounded. So this was how the vendor cloth and small stool came to be?
The vendor cloth was the ultimate technological crystallization of the Silicon-Regulation Sect and the Wisdom Sect!
The small stool actually belonged to Qing Ke?
No wonder when he was smashing things with her in the Chuangjie Daxu back then, Qing Ke looked at him with a strange expression. During the Star-Swallowing Beating Group, Qing Ke was also a bit dazed!
Was it because she recognized the small stool?
Sigh~
And the origins of various system items gradually came to light…
The Strength Potion was extracted from Styx Water by Li Bing. The reason she added the baldness side effect was to better collect resentment value!
The Marrow Cleansing Fruit was cultivated by Li Bing using Type 17 Blood Incineration plus Mother Vine genes—a marrow-cleansing artifact without the lifespan-reducing side effects…
The Golden Giant Durian came from the Star-Collecting Pearl's main body obtained from the Bose Race—the crystal giant tree that hung all the Starry Sky Races. It was planted in the Lost Kingdom. Later, it upgraded to the Diamond Giant Durian because Li Bing optimized the genes of the crystal giant tree…
The appearance of Strength 2.0 was also because Li Bing improved the extraction method, allowing for higher concentration of Strength. To update and iterate the system items, she fabricated the upgrade card!
That's also why Jiangnan kept asking for an item upgrade card back then but never got one!
Because no more advanced items had been researched yet, so there was nothing to upgrade!
At that time, Jiangnan really thought the upgrade card could upgrade items…
As for the Small Soybean, Vitality Ginseng, Spirit Leek, Sugar Tangerine, and Scallion Holy Sword—all were cultivated by Li Bing through modifying the genes of the Star Farming Race's crops!
Remember the green onion Jiangnan encountered when he visited the Star Farming Race? The Scallion Holy Sword was planted by her!
Even the origin of the Hundred-Shot-Hundred-Hit Small Slingshot was from the Star Farming Race—Qingtian used a slingshot weapon during the first round of the Sequence War!
Because in the original reality, Jiangnan had a close relationship with the Star Farming Race, and many system items originated from them!
Black Garlic came from the Dark Soul Clan. The Hulk Brand Shorts were products of the Gamma Race, since they always used Gamma Rage on others…
The 12 Zodiac Cookies came from the Subhuman Race, Tiger Hunting and the others…
The Extreme-Speed Small Slippers were made by infusing the Air-Speed Force of the Air-Speed Race. The Pop Rocks were produced using the charm abilities of the Enchanting Race, like Yue Li…
As for the Teletubbies Suit… cough cough (￢﹏￢‧̣̥̇)…
Everything—the origins of all system items—was almost entirely spawned from the various bizarre, perverse, and useful abilities of the Star Alliance races!
(Details on the origins of all system items will be explained later, so there's no need to elaborate here…)
Behind the system was not just Mila, Lan, Li Bing, and Ai Jiang, but the collective effort of an entire era!
Seeing this in the gap of reality, all the mysteries and doubts in Jiangnan's heart were resolved!
A helpless bitter smile spread across his face!
"So… that's how it is?"
To make his dream reality stand, stabilize, and become the only truth!
He had to start building the system, start developing system items, do all these things again, and then send them back to his 16-year-old time node, making up for the past and completing the time loop!
Everything else was fine. In the dream reality, Jiangnan had the Star Project as a foundation, with all the races of the Carbon Alliance and Matter Alliance under his command!
Ai Jiang's terminal was also there, and the Silicon-Based terminal wasn't impossible to obtain either!
If Jiangnan truly set his mind to creating the system and those items, it wasn't impossible to achieve!
Because the foundation in the dream reality was far better than that in the original reality!
But this also meant that Lan and Mila would have to make sacrifices to complete the system's creation…
Was that really fair to the two of them?
But if no sacrifice was made, the dream reality would collapse, and everything would return to the original reality…
Then it would all be meaningless…
To complete this time loop, Mila and Lan were indispensable!
And they couldn't be replaced, because the system was already on Jiangnan, completed by Mila, Lan, Ai Jiang, and Ice God!
This was a fait accompli!
No substitute could be used. For the time loop and logic loop to be complete, only they could be used…
Even if someone else were used, a perfect time loop couldn't be achieved, and the dream reality would still collapse!
And there was another key issue!
That was the insufficient levels of Mila and Lan—they hadn't even reached Star Devourer, only Transcendent!
In the original reality, Mila and Lan faced a more difficult situation, which forced them to grow. So their strength and levels grew quickly!
Mila was already Star Devourer, and Lan had absorbed the Void Engine. Although the side effects were severe, she too was Star Devourer!
But in the dream reality, because Mila and Lan had long been sheltered under Jiangnan's wings, they had a comfortable growth environment, no pressure, and hadn't experienced much hardship!
So the two grew slowly and were only Transcendent now!
Even if they wanted to complete the system, their levels would be completely insufficient!
At this moment, Jiangnan leaned powerlessly against the pages of reality, his eyes complex, as his thoughts gradually became clear…
"Long ago, I had some conjectures, but I didn't want to face them, didn't want to think deeply. I kept running away. If I hadn't made conjectures, I wouldn't have had the Star Project either…"
"Tsk… I never imagined that the answer I was desperately seeking, the correct solution, would still be a result I didn't want to face?"
"Indeed… running away never solved any problem, did it?"
Jiangnan took a deep breath. At this moment, he was very clear in his heart!
The final deadline for the collapse of the dream reality was the time node when the original reality finished making the system and sent it back to the past!
If he didn't complete the system's creation and send it back before this time node, the dream reality would collapse because it couldn't be established!
And as the time approached closer to the final deadline for sending the system back, the dream reality would become increasingly fragile!
Until it reached that node and collapsed!
Jiangnan still had time, but not much. The reality was already very fragile, even almost unable to contain him!
After watching the entire process and witnessing the despair, tragedy, helplessness, and cruelty of the original reality,
How could Jiangnan let the dream reality collapse and the original reality come true?
That's why Jiangnan cherished even more the beautiful reality he now possessed!
How much sacrifice and suffering had today's beauty and dream been built upon?
Jiangnan knew this better than anyone!
But then, the cruel choice was once again placed before Jiangnan!
Lan and Mila were like two deep thorns stuck in Jiangnan's heart!
If he really did this, could he restore them?
Jiangnan leaned against the pages of reality, his eyes full of complexity, murmuring to himself:
"Lanbao~ so… this is the timing you mentioned?"
"The timing when everything comes to light?"
At this moment, the system "Stinky Treasure" didn't respond to Jiangnan. Instead, words appeared in his mind!
[You… have figured it all out?]
[Jiangnan gege…]
Seeing the words in his mind, Jiangnan's heart trembled violently!
Sure enough…
Perhaps because they were in the Life Forbidden Zone, detached from all realities, the system "Stinky Treasure" could slightly relax its restrictions…
Jiangnan smiled bitterly: "Girl, how many years have you been hiding this from me? When I was still on Lan Xing, I was even fighting with you, sulking, threatening you with the Kaba Clan… Ha… I really am…"
"What is the ultimate grand gift pack? Shouldn't you tell me the answer now?"
As expected, the moment Jiangnan finished speaking, the very last bit of the progress bar was filled!
[Congratulations host for filling the resentment value progress bar!]
[Reward host with an ultimate grand gift pack!]
[Ultimate grand gift pack content: One regret pill!]
[Do you wish to take it out and use it?]
Looking at the content of the ultimate grand gift pack, Jiangnan was stunned for a moment!
He had guessed the content of the ultimate grand gift pack, which could be anything, but this result was beyond his expectations!
"Regret pill? How is it used? What effect?"
"Is this thing also made by Sister Li Bing?"
