"Cheh..." Lu Jie clicked his tongue. The system was good for everything, but when it came to the key moments, it always held back and refused to explain, leaving him to figure things out on his own. What use was such a broken system with its intelligence?
[......]
At this moment, a line of dots appeared in front of Lu Jie, as if the system was expressing its speechless frustration.
[When the host once again expressed his heartfelt dissatisfaction with the system, one week passed. The shadow of the massive meteorite impact loomed over the high-ranking humans, and they convened a world meeting.]
"The biochemical apocalypse predicted by the Observer Network didn't actually occur. The website later showed no further anomalies. What was initially a global prank turned out to be true, and the prophecy of the huge meteorite is actually happening," the new Grand Elder of Xuan Nation sighed.
"What's the use of saying all this now? We discovered this meteorite five years ago, and we've been preparing defensive measures ever since," the new Grand Elder of Star Nation said with a bitter smile.
"The controlled nuclear fusion technology is still not fully mature. With our current technology, there's only a one percent chance of either shattering the meteorite in space or diverting its trajectory," the new Queen of Lion Nation spoke gravely.
"There's nothing we can do but proceed with the original plan," the Grand Elder of Water Goose Nation shook his head.
"Try to destroy or divert the massive meteorite in space. At the same time, launch the human seed plan to send the human elites to space stations and preserve all human knowledge. If the space station can drift to a planet suitable for human life, there may be a slim chance to preserve the human seed."
"If the space station fails to drift, humanity's knowledge will serve as a message to any intelligent life in the universe that there was once a civilization on Blue Star. Nothing more."
The new Grand Elder of Xuan Nation continued, closing his eyes in sorrow.
"Sigh, that's all we can do. Time waits for no one. Let's prepare to implement the plan: the Blue Star Defense Plan and the Human Seed Plan."
The Grand Elder of Star Nation also spoke helplessly.
Humanity's fate truly was full of hardships.
Meanwhile, ordinary people around the world, after some hackers leaked information and in response to the unusual actions of various nations in recent years, came to believe in the existence of the massive meteorite and were thrown into a frenzy, causing widespread riots.
"The meteorite prophecy in the Observer Network has come true. And the timing is spot on."
"Humanity is doomed."
"Are you gloating up there?"
"Heh, I don't care anymore. The world can end for all I care."
"I haven't enjoyed life enough yet, damn it!"
"Those damn high-ranking officials, are they planning to abandon us ordinary people and flee Blue Star themselves?"
People were frantically commenting on the Observer website from all over the world.
[As the host was scrolling through the comments, humanity began to take action.]
[Millions of human elites were sent to the space survival stations constructed over the last five years in cooperation between various nations. At the same time, nuclear devices were deployed in an attempt to shatter or divert the trajectory of the massive meteorite as it approached Blue Star.]
"The massive meteorite appeared in the sky, bringing despair to the humans on Blue Star."
"Then, a terrifying explosion occurred, giving them a fleeting glimpse of hope."
"However, after that brief hope came despair. The human nuclear devices failed to destroy the meteorite or divert its trajectory."
"In the end, the massive meteorite struck Blue Star, and all life on Blue Star was annihilated. Blue Star entered a period of upheaval lasting millions of years, with only bacteria, fungi, and blue-green algae surviving. Meanwhile, the space survival station drifting in space was destroyed by asteroid showers."
[Host, this simulation has ended. Would you like to archive and name it?]
"Cheh, this apocalyptic scene of a massive meteorite striking Blue Star never fails to be shocking no matter how many times I see it," Lu Jie clicked his tongue.
"Archive it, and name it Skynet Storm·Zero. Make sure to store it in the new folder," Lu Jie said casually.
[Archiving successful, naming successful, storing successful. Host, would you like to return to reality?]
The system asked again.
"Return," Lu Jie shrugged.
With that, Lu Jie felt his consciousness blur, and he was back in his rented room.
[Host has returned to reality. You have received the Machine Girl Z-001.]
"....." Lu Jie raised an eyebrow.
So this time, the reward was just a machine girl?
Honestly, in his mind, the Skynet in this new simulation world held more value.
[The host can customize Z-001's appearance and personality.]
The system spoke again.
"You really get me," Lu Jie smiled, his eyes narrowing.
Well, he thought, there was plenty of time, and many more simulations ahead. Creating a machine girl wasn't a bad idea.
"Make Z-001 look like Shiro from No Game No Life," Lu Jie said slowly.
[Host, you are a hardcore otaku.]
The system responded with a remark.
"Mind your own business," Lu Jie retorted.
[Customization successful. The host can now claim the reward.]
The system said slowly.
At this moment, a page appeared in front of Lu Jie.
The Shiro on the page had caught Lu Jie's interest. Though it had started as just a test, he hadn't expected the system to actually have it.
Lu Jie then claimed the reward.
A flash of light, and there, standing before him, was the living Shiro.
"Master, Z-001 is ready to serve you," Shiro said in a sweet voice as she appeared.
Her tone and expression were just like the character from the anime.
"Mm, you'll be called Shiro from now on," Lu Jie said, scratching his chin, smiling.
"Thank you for naming me, Master. Shiro is so happy!" Shiro's little face beamed with joy.
"System, does Shiro have a heart?" Lu Jie raised an eyebrow and asked.
[No. She only has a simulated personality. Don't you think it's better to cultivate her yourself rather than directly having her possess a heart?] the system replied calmly.
"Heh, still talking about me being an otaku, but you're just as much of a nerd, aren't you? Very clever," Lu Jie smirked.
[No, the system simply reads the host's thought patterns to make such judgments.] The system denied the accusation.
"Whatever, I can't be bothered to argue with you." Lu Jie shook his head and then turned to look at Shiro.
I have to admit, Shiro looked incredibly cute, breaking the fourth wall with her appearance.
Of course, while cute was nice, Lu Jie was more concerned with other matters.
For example, he was the only one in this simulation world—there was no alternate version of himself. So, what about Shiro? Was she exclusive to him? Would another version of Shiro appear in this simulation?
This was a serious question.
"System... forget it, I can't be bothered to ask. You'll just say you're still exploring, right?" Lu Jie opened his mouth, then waved his hand dismissively.
[......]
The system was left speechless.
