Chapter 31 : Fried CPU

After Lo's rage settled down, he inquired "System why is the path of the abyss side quest removed?"

[ The System removed the quest because it was finished by the third unknown party, it seems that this unknown party also know what will happen in the original story timeline. ]

'So the Alchemist died? or survived? What the fuck Happened? It's only day 2, I don't even have the time to finish a side quest that was given to me in the past 6 hrs or so,' Lo frowned as he grumbled about the injustice of the system.

[ Well.. there are 2 bad news and 1 good news.. which one do you like to hear? ]

"System, since when did you become talkative? Hell I never knew you can talk even inside the original story"

[ That's because the System you read inside the novel don't have an conscious.. ]

Lo furrowed his eyebrow as he continued to ask "So does that mean that when I transmigrated, everything was destined to change?"

[ Of course, that's one of the most stupid questions I have ever been asked. Bro.. do you even read light novels.. ]

Lo's face darkened and refuted, "Yes I do, but unlike novels. this is real life.. REAL LIFE!"

[ Chillout.. Host, you have Lector at your hands.. it's one of the functions of your 'Special System' ]

"I don't have the required amount of AC to use it.. That's the thing!"

[ ... ]

[ You have the knowledge of the original story, you can just use that as your advantage and earn AC ]

"..." Lo was left speechless for a moment because what the system replied was true, he never tried to 'abuse' the novel to obtain AC, now that he was reminded by the System. he felt like an idiot for not trying.

"Wait, I did remember I did plan to abuse.. cough cough 'temporarily use' the novel but I scrap that idea because of the butterfly effect it would place upon the world."

[ ... ]

[ Since you didn't reply me on what do you want to hear first let me start with the bad news ]

[ The Alchemist died, he was a very important piece for you to complete your goal to save this world. ]

"Wait.. don't tell me that it's one of those instances where I save the Alchemist and he will provide me with some discount on his potions and provide me some big amount of AC.." Lo's face darkened even more at the thought of losing so much potential AC he could obtain from this side quest.

[ ... ]

"FUCK.. the potential AC I could have obtain" the more he thought about this side quest, the more frustrated he became, the butt hurt of losing so much AC made his face paled.

System : 'This is the first time I've seen someone look so pale at the thought of losing potential income'

[ Anyway.. Let me continue.. ]

[ The next bad news is that, you guys will be facing an monster wave in next month or so, I cannot determine when or where because someone altered the course of this world ]

"..."

"Did I misread it?" Lo blinked for a moment before he rub his eyes to confirm what he was seeing in front of him. he couldn't believe what he is currently reading, since monster wave is when a wave of monsters form together in a big crowd controlled by an elite, and these elites are 10 times stronger than a normal beast.

He stared at the panel for a while as his eyes continued to widen in shock with fear behind it, his already pale face became even more so as he took a step back, deeply taking a breath and muttering under his breath, "System.. give.. Rank.."

[ Ask Lector.. well the good news is that you can use lector for free once and you also have some high rankers to help you guys ]

Lo Ignores the system and calls out lector to give 'reliable' information, "Lector.. give me the rank of this monster wave and also what will happen.."

Lector : [ Cannot determine rank.. ]

Lector : [ Calculating information written from the scribe... ]

Lector : [ The information provided... ]

Lector : [ In an Ancient tome, a man escaped from an Monster wave. he settled down inside a Cave where books can be seen within the wall, 3 Rainy days. he finished reading all the books. he came out with 1 lost Eye and 1 deep cut by a Sword. he escape to an Tower and (died).

he only said 1 sentence and 1 LAST WORD : rely on one's knowledge to obtain the last puzzle, obtain the hidden mystery behind reanimation. ]

(A/N : Already burned my brain from creating this arc. it took me a lot of time to create this, this information will be very crucial as the first arc will flow with this info. also the capital letters here are intentional.)

Lo : "???"

System : [ ... ]

Lo read the information provided by the Lector again and again, before he felt like his head was about to explode.

The more he thought about it, the more smoke came out from his head. He felt like he overclocked his head to think about how life was formed, how the galaxy formed, what the universe was. Until something inside him explodes..

His CPU fried..

Lo : (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻

"What?!?!" Lo screamed inwardly. If Lector had a physical body, he would have shaken him until he gave him 'truly reliable' information.

Lector : [ Host read the information carefully and use your brain. ]

Lo : ಠ_ಠ

Lector : [ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

Lo grits his teeth as he glares at the panel in front of him, "Before it's the System, Now this time you're also going to troll me now?!"

The already extinguished rage inside Lo began to ignite once more. But this time however, the fire burning within him was as intense as molten lava. If there were no one else within the facility, Lo would have shouted at the two entities in front of him already.

"How much?" Lo clenched his fist, and his teeth ground together, producing a sharp, grinding sound. His eyes locked onto the panel in front of him with a glare so intense that, if looks could kill, he would have already killed Lector 100,000 times over.

System : [...]

Lector : [...]

Lector : [ 1 Mil.. ]

Not letting Lector finishing his sentence, Lo exploded, "YOU M**** FU*** #@*(#@)#.."

Lo : (-`д´-)＜@$%@#$%^#%

Leo, Aya, Eleanor, and Mary all turned to stare at Lo before shifting their gazes to Lena, they exchanged with an all knowing glance before nodding their heads in unison. (◕ω◕✿)

Lena felt her veins pulse and throb as she sensed her friends' understanding gaze fixed on her. (╬≖_≖)
