After the pyramid fell to the ground, the surface of the pyramid floated for a while, and then changed back to the appearance of the white Wuling Hongguang S, carrying Lin Yu to the apartment where he lived, and returning the same way.
"It seems that my driver's license will be useless in the future." Lin Yu looked at the steering wheel he was moving, and thought with emotion, "Speaking of which, will I be the first person in human history to experience a truly intelligent driverless car?" What about car people—the kind who really don't have to worry about going wrong and can just close their eyes and let the car drive by itself?
The pyramid was worthy of Lin Yu's car. It drove smoothly and steadily, adhering to Lin Yu's consistent driving style—absolutely obeying traffic rules, never overtaking unless necessary, and always driving with courtesy.
Looking at the pyramid's driving method, Lin Yu couldn't help but praise it in his heart. It was really pleasant to ride in, with its own distinct style.
The pyramid was so slow that even a driving school coach couldn't find fault, yet if you sat inside, you'd definitely be scolded for driving too slow. It drove all the way back to the apartment building where Lin Yu had always parked, pulling into his usual space.
Lin Yu opened the door and stepped out. After losing his job, he seemed a bit sluggish. He even walked more slowly than before, prompting Xiao Ai to change back into the form of a mobile phone. At that moment, there happened to be a new unread message. He picked it up and saw that it was from Bai Meng—just a brief thank-you message.
Thinking of Bai Meng, Lin Yu felt a bit of a headache. He thought that in today's plot, he should have gained a fan girl or something, and then, just like in urban novels, the more they chatted, the closer they'd become, eventually asking for help to act as a shield boyfriend, or play cool, and so on. Coming and going until one day, perhaps, harem +1.
Who would have thought it was Bai Meng—a big boss in women's clothing—who ended up being saved?
Well, Lin Yu was just daydreaming. After all, he had read so many urban novels and was deeply familiar with their clichés.
But saving someone is saving someone. You can't refuse just because the other party isn't a cute girl. Since Lin Yu chose to save, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable about it—probably.
Shaking his head, Lin Yu replied to Bai Meng on WeChat: "It's just a matter of little effort." Then he added her as a friend and included a smiley expression.
He returned to the main page of his phone, tapped on the novel app, and resumed the story he was reading before. Walking into the corridor, climbing the stairs, unlocking the door, and entering the room, he slumped down on the sofa.
He took out the ten-chapter lottery tickets he just bought. The numbers were all randomly selected by Lin Yu.
He randomly picked one, glanced at it casually, then called out in his heart,
[ Xiao Shu, let the probability of winning this lottery ticket increase to 100%.]
[Understood.] Xiao Shu replied, and then Lin Yu's eyes were filled with all sorts of probability data about this ticket. Among them, the probability of winning the first prize had become [100%].
Lin Yu shredded the remaining nine lottery tickets and tossed them into the trash can. Then he turned on the TV, leaned back on the sofa, and stared blankly at the screen. It was 09:30. Today was Monday. It was just past 10 in the morning—there was nothing worthwhile on TV.
After quitting his job, Lin Yu always felt a bit out of place, like he had nothing to do.
Of course, this was just an illusion. Now, he had a more noble job—perhaps one that only he could do well.
It was just the beginning that felt unfamiliar. He believed he would adapt soon enough.
As he watched the dull TV programs, Lin Yu suddenly remembered he and Xiaoxin needed uniforms. He placed the phone on the coffee table, and it transformed and restructured into the form of a mechanical girl.
[ What's your order? ] Xiao Ai looked at Lin Yu and asked.
"You can design two sets of clothes for me—like superhero uniforms. One for me, one for Xiaoxin," Lin Yu instructed Xiao Ai. "Xiaoxin's height and measurements have been sent to my WeChat. You can check there."
Although what he was doing was somewhat different from a superhero's work, the essence was similar. Even though he had the ability to fear no threats on Earth, once his identity was exposed, endless trouble would follow. He didn't mind. As long as he didn't want to be found, no one could find him. He could even leave this world and roam others. After all, he was an orphan with few friends, so there was little tying him down.
But Xiaoxin was different. She had family, friends, and her education to complete. She lived a normal life. If trouble spilled over to her, that wouldn't be good. So, it was necessary for them to have a cool set of uniforms to hide their identities.
[ Okay, please wait a moment. ] Xiao Ai replied and projected a 100-inch full-line projection screen into the air. On the screen appeared two holographic figures—Lin Yu and Ye Xin.
[One hundred different styles of uniforms have been listed for you to choose from. ]
Although a lot had happened in just two days, Lin Yu's eyes lit up when he saw the projection. He stood up and began to swipe through styles on the virtual screen. Every time he tapped on a style, the holographic figures of himself and Ye Xin would model the outfits. Lin Yu could see at a glance how they would look when worn.
As expected of Xiao Ai. The energy unit was high enough for silicon-based life to travel through time. Its design and calculation abilities were top-tier. These hundred different uniform styles were exquisite in appearance and detail—even Lin Yu, a layman, thought they looked professionally designed.
Lin Yu spent a long time choosing before settling on two styles that seemed to suit him and Ye Xin best.
"It's definitely not safe to get someone else to make these from design drafts. It might expose our identities." Lin Yu pinched his chin in thought, then said in his mind,
[ Xiao Shu, is there any ability to make clothes? ]
[ There are many. ] Xiao Shu replied. Simultaneously, a list of abilities appeared in Lin Yu's mind—each capable of altering matter, creating from nothing, or manufacturing clothing:
[Awakening Silkworm Spinning probability: 38.71%]
[Awakening Devil Spider Spinning Silk probability: 27.15%]
[Awakening Manipulate Fiber probability: 43.08%]
[Awakening Fantasy Realization probability: 11.66%]
[Awakening Matter Creation probability: 19.42%]
[Awakening Particle Reconstruction probability: 8.79%]
[Awakening Dominant Particles probability: 6.03%]
[Awakening Decomposition and Reorganization probability: 23.88%]
[Awakening Reality Manipulation probability: 0.24%]
[All Wishes Come True probability: 0.01%]
"I just want to make a piece of clothing. What the hell are these abilities at the end? Can I really use those to make clothes?" Lin Yu stared at the powerful abilities listed—particularly those that reminded him of a certain blue-bodied Doctor Manhattan with an oversized bug—and couldn't help but complain.
He was more reserved now. If this had been yesterday, when he just discovered his powers, he might have blurted out something much worse.
[ Theoretically, these abilities can create the clothes you want. ] The white rune sphere in Lin Yu's mind slowly rotated, as the system offered a quiet reply.
