[Host, do you wish to archive this and name it?]
"Archive. Name it 'Skynet Storm: Space Drifting.'"
Lu Jie responded impatiently.
[Archiving successful. Naming successful. Do you wish to return to reality?]
"Return," Lu Jie replied with a shrug.
The moment Lu Jie finished speaking, he felt his consciousness shift, and in an instant, he was back in the real world.
[Host has returned to reality. Host has obtained a copy of Controlled Nuclear Fusion data, Starship data, and ten T-3 series robots.]
"Tsk," Lu Jie clicked his tongue. "Damn system. Given the decent rewards this time, I'll let you off the hook."
Among the rewards from this simulation, the most valuable were undoubtedly the data for controlled nuclear fusion and starships. With these, human civilization on Blue Star could reach a new level. Humanity would no longer be starved for energy.
However, in Lu Jie's heart, these were just "okay." Compared to these, what he truly cared about was advancing his own life-level.
As for the T-3 series robots—whether they existed or not didn't matter. Lu Jie wasn't interested in them. He decided to leave them stored in the system for now.
"These things in my hands are like scrap paper," Lu Jie muttered while stroking his chin. "Maybe I should trade them with the Grand Elder of the Xuan Nation for some cash. That's an idea."
Ah, in reality, he was still a broke guy.
Although acquiring money would be a simple matter, he didn't want to deal with the hassle or stir up unnecessary trouble. The real world was his foundation.
"Wait a minute," Lu Jie tapped his desk thoughtfully. "The real world is the foundation. That's exactly why I need some influence. Having some power would give me face when I go out. I wouldn't have to do everything myself. Plus, in future simulations, having forces in the real world will make things easier."
"Hmm, looks like I need to make a solid plan," Lu Jie said, narrowing his eyes and muttering to himself.
With all this strength and treasure, if he kept being a lazy fish, he'd be lacking in ambition.
"Normal forces won't do. I need something with real power. It should either be the top-tier elites of the real world or standout figures from various simulations. The force must be mysterious, not just surface-level. Only then will it have prestige and make others fear it."
Lu Jie continued refining his plans, writing them down step by step.
After some time, Lu Jie stopped. This was just the draft. The rest could be fleshed out later. After all, he had plenty of time.
"The real world needs to be developed too," he muttered. "Looks like I'll be a little busier from now on."
As he delved deeper into the hidden connections between the simulation worlds and the real world, it seemed like this trend was inevitable.
"System, upload the 'Biohazard Apocalypse Zero: Transcendents' Chapter."
[Host, are you sure about uploading this? It contains your own antics. You'll be bearing the reputation of a villain. Do you want me to edit those parts?]
The system asked.
"No need. Just upload the original. I don't care about people's opinions. Let them think what they want. It won't affect me. In fact, some might even develop a healthy respect for me, which will make things easier for me in the future."
Lu Jie said with interest.
[Alright, uploading now.]
The system complied without asking any further questions and began the process.
"Feeling bored, should I go recruit some people now?" Lu Jie wondered aloud.
"Never mind, if I, the big boss, go around recruiting, I'll lose my face," Lu Jie muttered. "Better wait until I get Skynet. Then everything will be much easier."
"Xubi." At that moment, Lu Jie looked over at the robot, who was busy cleaning. He waved his hand.
"Master, is there something you need from Xubi?" the robot asked.
"Hmm, sit on my lap," Lu Jie patted his legs with a smile.
[Host, are you finally starting?]
The system teased.
"Get lost." Lu Jie rolled his eyes.
This system was too mischievous. Damn it, was he that kind of boring person?
Xubi, being a robotic maid, had simulated emotions but lacked true human feelings. If Lu Jie really wanted to, it would be like playing with a much more advanced inflatable doll—not very interesting. If he were to "do" anything, he'd need to have genuine emotions involved.
He only asked Xubi to sit on his lap because it was more enjoyable to play games while holding her.
As Lu Jie and the system exchanged banter, Xubi, dressed in a small maid outfit, obediently sat on his lap.
Lu Jie smiled and then proceeded to play games with her.
For someone like him, it didn't matter what rank his opponents were—he could crush them all. But occasionally stomping on low-level players was fun. Who wouldn't enjoy a little bit of dominance?
As Lu Jie played with Xubi, the release of the new movie caused a worldwide sensation.
Countless people, including Wu Yan, flocked to see it.
When the movie first came out, Wu Yan didn't hesitate to skip class and gathered his friends to watch it together.
"Biohazard Zero: Transcendents, is this another parallel world?"
Wu Yan muttered with anticipation.
This series was truly addicting. Although they knew these movies were likely depicting real tragedies from parallel worlds, if they just watched it as a movie, it was incredibly entertaining.
As for the conspiracy behind it? Let the bored people guess. Why waste energy thinking about it? If something like this were to happen in real life, ordinary people like them wouldn't stand a chance anyway.
With this "lazy fish" mindset, Wu Yan clicked to play the movie.
As usual, the screen displayed stunning visuals. The scene opened with a biotechnological laboratory in the Star Nation, making their eyes widen in excitement.
If things went as expected, this should indeed be a different world line.
But then, they were shocked to see the scene shift away from the Star Nation's top biotechnological lab in just a few seconds and suddenly cut to the Grand Elder of the Xuan Nation.
"Wait, isn't this supposed to show the biohazard outbreak first?" Wu Yan and his friends wondered aloud.
Then, in the next moment, their eyes went wide.
The controversial character—the World Observer—appeared again.
The Observer handed over the MR Virus and MR Virus Serum to the Grand Elder of the Xuan Nation, then mysteriously disappeared.
"Uh, I don't get it. Is the World Observer really the villain here?" one of Wu Yan's friends remarked. "Why would a villain give humanity's salvation to the Grand Elder?"
"Who knows? We can't understand what he's thinking," Wu Yan shook his head.
"Well, with this plot twist, the movie should be much more interesting now," Wu Yan said with excitement.
His words made everyone else's eyes light up.
