Novel Bin Chapter 28 - System Evolution
Emma could barely enter the sanctuary when the 10 min mark reached. Emma was turning around. His eyelids were difficult to open. His brain function became sluggish. He couldn\'t process what Zeus was saying. He could only understand the protocol part.
"…Don\'t….initiate…..the…. X385…. Protocol" He commanded with difficulty.
Thud!
Emma fell to the ground and lose consciousness. The last command took a toll on his body. He was causing Lily\'s in his mind for not informing about the upgrade.
[….. All protocol had been met. System upgrades commencing….]
[…..Initiating.. 03943 file protocol…..]
[…..03943 file protocol successful….]
[….Initiating… AL1183WQ….]
[…..AL1183WQ…..Successful….]
[…Initiating…]
[….Successful..]
[…Initiating…]
[….Successful..]
[….System upgrades completed….]
*8 hours later. *
Emma\'s eyes blinked slightly. He opened his with some difficulty and while he gripped his head. He was having a headache. He sat on the floor while trying to remember what happened. Shortly, he could remember everything.
\'What the fuck is the upgrade that made head feel he was hit with a sledgehammer.\'
Emma stood up from the entrance of the sanctuary and entered the room while rubbing his head. After a few minutes, Emma returned to the glass room , looking more refreshed.
Zeus: \'What is that all about.\'
"Just some slight headache. Forget about it." Emma responded, looking at the data on the big screen. \'Since woke up and I did headache is getting lesser by the minute. I believe the upgrade had been completed.\'
\'Lily\' Emma called in his brain.
>>Ding.
>>Host had received the system upgrade...
>>Will the host like to name the system Lily?
>>Yes/No
A blue screen interface appeared in front of Emma. The interface was like the common game interface. Seeing the interface, Emma had his jaw dropped. He was flabbergasted. His brain seems to stop. After a couple of minutes, Emma recovered from the shock and read the message on the screen calmly.
\'Is this a way for me to communicate with the system? So I don\'t need to talk in my head.\'
Hmm! "Since Lily is the name I gave the System. I don\'t need to change it.
Emma clicked yes
>> System name had been changed Successful..
>> Host interface.

>>Host Evaluation: Too weak to be considered sentinel being. Any random individual could end-host useless. Get your fucking ass up and be a man…
Emma read the data in awe. This came as a shock to him. \'Everything is just like a game.\' After looking at the interface for some second. The hidden stat baffled him.
\'Lily, why are there hidden stat.\'
>>Host had not attained the appropriate level to view the stat…. Don\'t be a lazy fat and work harder before you start to question me.
\'Oh! So I need to increase my level.\'
\'What does ReSense mean?\'
>> The ability to use your 7th brain. Currently, you haven\'t unlocked your 7th brain.
"So the 7th brain is called the real sense," Emma murmured. \'What does the 7th brain do?\'
>> Host, don\'t ask me stupid questions. When the times come to know what the 7th brain does, you\'ll know by then.
Emma was annoyed. The host was not giving any face at all. it will ridicule him with every chance available. But, swallow his bitterness and kept on looking at the interface. \'But the system does not sound like the previous Lily. It\'s a little colder.
Emma put the thought at the back of his mind. His eyes lingered at the last line on the screen and were enraged.
\'Lily, your father is useless. Your mother is useless. Am I not trying my best. Hmmm!\'
The system did not reply to Emma. Emma was furious when he realized the system was ignoring him.
\'You\'re not my previous Lily.. Who are you..?\' Emma shouted in his head.
>>I\'m the main system. Your previous Lily was my stasis mode. This is a protocol not to fall into the enemy\'s hand.
Hmm!
\'Can I get my previous Lily back?\'
>> The upgrade had already been completed. It\'s impossible to go back to stasis. Why would the host want my previous stasis mode? When the dominant system is available.
\'Because you don\'t behave like the same system.\'
>>Host can be given a one-time opportunity to recover the stasis file. Warning this may affect the performance of the system. Do you wish to recover the file?
>> Yes/No
Emma didn\'t think twice. He clicked yes.
[….System recovering the Stasis file….]
[…..Stasis file recovery successful…..]
[….Merging stasis file with the main file...]
[….Merging successful…..]
>>Host, the recovery was successful. Please don\'t waste my precious time with this mundane action again… Else there will be a penalty for it.
\'That won\'t happen again….\'
\'Lily!\' Emma called in anticipation.
>>I\'m with you. I know you can\'t live without me. Why are so stupid that you use your precious one-time opportunity to ask for me? I and the main system are the same. The main system would have recovered me when the time was right. But you couldn\'t use your head. Fucking useless…
Ha! Ha! Ha! Emma laughed.
\'How would I know you are still going to recover… Anyway, I got you now…Let forget it..\'
>>Just for some petty instinctual emotions…. Tsk! Tsk!
\'So, every knowledge I acquired will be added to my knowledge tree. But why is everything still basic? I have already learned so many advanced topics in both mathematics, physic, and chemistry.
>>Because it is basic. What you think is advance is basic. So, don\'t come crying about some basic knowledge and think of I how to increase your knowledge. Besides, think of how to complete your mission. Hmm! I\'m waiting for you to fail…
What!
Mission!
Emma had completely forgotten about the mission area. Quickly, he skimmed through the interface and checked the mission area. Seeing the mission, he shouted.
"Are you crazy!!!"
