In a more speculative direction, Shi Tian came to realize the integrated chip that was injected into his brain might have an empathic feeling.
After all, why else would there be so many sarcastic comments from it whenever he looked at his ability.
Just the Pain Tolerance skill that he had gained. The integrated chip went as far as saying he was a masochist for getting injured so many times.
Thus, it was clear that the integrated chip could think and develop emotion. Of course, that might actually sound scary, except the integrated chip had never once harmed him.
In fact, when he recalled carefully about the past, the Pain Tolerance skill was obtained when he was on the verge of dying from the Armored Rat.
'Was the integrated chip always conscious and looking after me all this time?' Shi Tian wondered silently.
