"Lost portion of damaged file?"
This was the first time Du Fei heard the system say a noun, and he was slightly stunned. Although he didn't know what this unreliable system wanted to do, he still took a slight breath and quickly responded in his heart: "Enter!"
"Beep—"
"Command accepted, system commencing input - detected input data matches internal damaged file with a congruence of 100%, is this a merge?"
"Combine!"
"Beep—"
"During data merging - system or new data, whether to read - "
"Read!"
"Processing command, loading data... Please wait..."
This time, the system didn't give any more hints, only a cold "beep" sound kept ringing out, apparently a large amount of data was being processed.
"Is this the missing data?" He slowly came back to his senses, and Du Fei's gaze fell onto the scroll in his hand. Suddenly, a strange idea emerged in his mind...
Could it be that the Ice Heart Technique was originally recorded on this scroll, but somehow my father managed to transfer all the information onto the jade symbol using some unimaginable method?
At this point, Du Fei couldn't help but reach out and grab the jade pendant hanging from his neck, but as soon as his hand touched it, he felt a sudden jolt throughout his body!
The subtle feeling that originally existed in the jade symbol when it was touched had disappeared at some point, and Du Fei could almost be 100% certain that at this moment, the jade symbol had become an extremely ordinary object.
That is to say, the data inside was read by the system and then deleted.
"Unless I come to the Du family's Wuxue Pavilion and touch this scroll, even I won't be able to get the complete Ice Heart Decision Making Method incantation... This preparation is high!"
It's probably like that, but Du Fei doesn't think so. Du Tian also has an unreliable system like himself, but he mostly uses other means to merge the two. There should be other ways to do it, but by mistake, this unreliable system has completely solved the original big problem.
"BEEP - Data reading complete, start loading?"
Just as Du Fei was lost in thought, the unreliable system asked again,
"Load it up!"
"Beep—command accepted, system loading—"
As the electronic sound rose, Du Fei only felt a slight dizziness in front of him, and he was once again placed in a dark space. In the center of the space, there was a virtual light sitting cross-legged, but his hands had formed a mysterious finger print. As the fingerprint changed, the heaven and earth's primordial energy around him seemed to be slowly absorbed into his body.
At the same time, a mysterious stream of information flew quickly into Du Fei's mind.
"Icy heart, broken and scattered, eightfold merit method, the vastness of heaven and earth, only ice is endless, in this world, the strong are frozen, if you want to practice ice, first practice your heart, if your heart is as clear as ice, even if the sky collapses, I will not be surprised"
After a stream of mysterious and profound information like a song, what flowed into Du Fei's mind was the cultivation method of Bing Xin Jue. Although it was his first time coming into contact with this technique, by comparing it to the light and shadows in front of him, he quickly gained some understanding of the cultivation method of Bing Xin Jue.
However, he is still at the seventh level of Body Tempering and has no way to directly cultivate the Ice Heart Technique. After all, only when one reaches the ninth level of Body Tempering and breaks through to the 9th rank of Martial Artist can they start cultivating it!
"It's not a complete waste of time today, at least this Ice Heart Decision can be used for Little Ai to cultivate, and if outsiders ask, just say it was taught by her father!"
After a moment's thought, Du Fei felt that this idea was not bad, but he slightly regretted that the information flow only contained Bing Xin's decision-making method, and the two or three sets of martial arts that should have been paired with it did not exist, nor did he know whether they had been lost or never existed in the first place.
After a moment of contemplation, Du Fei took a slight breath and prepared to exit this mysterious black space.
"Beep - System missing file detected, enter?"
At this moment, the electronic sound suddenly rang out again.
"Missing system files? Not corrupted files? What's going on!" Du Fei furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice.
"Beep - question clear, answer unclear, is there a missing file in the system?"
"Sure enough, it's still so unreliable." Du Fei sighed and said, "Enter it!"
"Beep—command accepted, system begins inputting missing files—"
"Input successful, system successfully repaired some functions, system will restart to start repair function, whether to restart?"
"Yes!"
At this time, Du Fei also couldn't continue to mock, and could only calmly give orders.
"Command accepted, rebooting..."
"Beep—"
Then Du Fei only felt a slight dizziness in front of his eyes, and immediately a faint light floated into his line of sight.
This time, the originally pitch-black space became crystal clear, allowing Du Fei to see clearly that this space was just a tens of square meters large cubic room. In the center of the room, there was a spherical object floating in mid-air. The sphere was divided into many small squares by dotted lines, some of which were slightly bright, but most of the frames were pitch-black.
On the sphere's underside, there was a circular stone pedestal. On top of it, an illusory naked human figure was faintly flickering. It seemed to have sensed Du Fei's gaze. The illusory figure appeared to reveal a hint of a smile, and then her body gradually became clearer.
"Uh—"
Staring at the figure in front of him that had become crystal clear, Du Fei was speechless for a moment. After a while, he finally let out a breath and said: "What are you?!"
On the table, standing upright, completely naked, but the lovely girl shaking her head, her empty eyes seemed to turn slightly, and she opened her mouth slightly after a moment.
"Due to the input of the lost part of the system, some functions of the system have been restored to normal. The system has taken on a form based on its master's hobbies. If the master has other requirements, please give orders."
"Master's hobby is personification......" Du Fei rolled his eyes, "Even if it's my hobby, can you put on some clothes? And this dying sound, can't you change it?"
"Command accepted, system starting..."
As the sound echoed, the figure on the table became blurry for a moment before clearing up again. However, this time, the illusory figure was wearing the sailor uniform that Du Fei had admired in his past life. The empty eyes seemed to turn around, and then made a coquettish expression: "M-master...... whatever you command, I'll accept it..."
The voice is sweet and beautiful beyond compare, making one's bones feel soft all over; if only that gaze wasn't so empty...
He stared silently at the figure in front of him for a moment before sighing, "You'd better go back to your usual way of speaking."
"Alright, now answer my question, what exactly is this thing, why did it end up in my hands, and how does it exist."
The figure in a sailor fuku uniform, restored to its normal state, responded with its usual electronic tone this time.
"Question accepted! The system is just a system, existing in the owner's hand by chance. It exists within the owner's conscious space. Each time the owner enters, it is in the form of a soul body, and outsiders cannot detect it."
"What's the use of the system?!"
"Medical procedures, data reading programs, data entry programs!"
For this answer, Du Fei was completely speechless. He sighed again and said: "So, what are the missing system files, how did they mysteriously appear, and why can you recover so many functions?"
"Beep—command accepted!"
"The system's missing files can exist in various forms, but this time they should be stored within the jade symbol on the master's body. The system thinks that if it can find more symbols like the jade one, it should be able to repair many of its missing parts, just like the dark areas the master sees are the system's lost programs." After answering in a tone that left no room for ridicule, the figure pointed at the sphere on top of his head.
"So that's it, the bright places are where there is already data, and the dark ones are where files are missing... Luckily I'm a transmigrator, if it were a native, they probably wouldn't understand!" Du Fei muttered to himself, took a slight breath, and didn't think about asking more about the origin of this system. If his guess was correct, unless he found all the missing files back, he wouldn't be able to know what this system is for.
"One last question, what's your name?" Du Fei asked calmly, facing the figure in front of him.
"System code 254448, if the owner has a requirement, it can be automatically named."
"Alright, you're so clean and white, I'll just call you Xiao Bai then. Other names are too much trouble. From now on, the system will officially be renamed Xiao Bai!"
"Beep---Master misunderstood, the system is still a system, and Xiaobai is just one of the main programs in the system---"
"Ah..." Du Fei patted his forehead, and after a moment, he finally understood. He reckoned that Xiao Bai was probably an existence within the system, similar to some kind of intelligent program, used to assist him in understanding and operating the program.
After a moment of contemplation, Du Fei didn't think there was any problem and patted his hand, quickly exiting the program.
In the faintly glowing mental space, Xiao Bai on the table gazed at where Du Fei's spiritual body disappeared, and a hint of humanized color seemed to flash in his eyes, but instantly, it became a void again...
And in the originally empty space, a certain change also slowly arose.
