Capítulo 3: Black
"Hu…" He exhaled lightly. Mu Fan had returned to his base. He felt relieved when he returned to the waste alloy pile.
Bang! He threw the black egg on a pile of waste. Then Mu Fan's eyes stared straight at the beast lying on the ground. He swallowed his saliva and did not care about the black egg anymore.
The fire crackled as it burned. A simple stand was set up on the fire. Large pieces of meat were skewered on metal sticks, and golden oil dripped down and poured on the charcoal. The green smoke that rose from the sticks brought with it a lingering fragrance. Mu Fan took a dagger and cut the meat from time to time, sprinkling salt on it. Oh, a meal of meat more delicious than a mouse plant. A meal that could last two days after hunting. A forest where meat could be found again. He had gained a lot today. Mu Fan's eyes narrowed with happiness.
Mu Fan suddenly stood up and turned around. "Who is it?"
His body was half bent, his right hand held the dagger in front of him, and his left hand clenched into a fist and stuck to his waist. There was silence everywhere, as if nothing had happened.
"Creak." Mu Fan quickly turned to the right, where he had thrown the black egg. That's right, it seemed that the black egg was the cause.
Crack! Crack! Under the dancing flames, the black egg cracked, as if something was going to break out of the egg.
Mu Fan held the dagger tightly in his right hand as if he was facing a great enemy. He carefully adjusted his posture and stared at the strange black egg in front of him.
A mechanical electronic voice suddenly came from inside the black egg, intermittently. "Self-detection in the machine… Time detection, data disorder abnormal, time unclear… Database integrity detection, loss of 91%… Testing mainframe artificial intelligence, integrity 87%… Activating Alpha intelligent module, activating relationship simulation function. Ding, relationship simulation module damaged. Activating Plan 2: skipping, backstage repair. Connecting system data database… Ding, Alpha super-brain successful activation, detection of the surrounding environment…"
Then the black egg fell silent. Mu Fan carefully moved a small step. With a buzz, a small hole suddenly appeared in the middle of the black egg's waist. An antenna stretched out from the hole. At the top of the antenna was a white spherical body with a weak blue light flickering in it.
Mu Fan did not move again. The white ball shot out a light blue, vertical fan-shaped light beam. After it spun one round, it scanned Mu Fan, who looked alert, and stopped.
"Scan complete. Vitality: 2. Recognition: Human. Recognition: Fly-type insects."
"Scan complete. No other active creatures found."
"According to the smart-brain rule, the first target of the current carrier is survival."
The light blue light beam suddenly turned from blue to red. The light beam stretched to the length of his body and scanned again. Mu Fan squinted and did not move.
"Star System ADO network detected, detection failed… beep, activation of host system, initiation of recognition process. The target creature is human, it meets the criteria; detected target creature's pupils are slightly dilated, pulse is stable, body ratio—lean, muscle density—strong! Warning action, explosive force unknown, system judgment—non-personality, it meets the host's selection process criteria, recognition process."
The light beam became narrower, and the electronic voice sounded again. "System recognized you as its master. Target, please place your palm on the spherical detector…"
Mu Fan was stunned and did not move.
The electronic voice continued, "System recognition, target human, please place your palm on the spherical detector…"
"System recognized, target human, please place your palm on the spherical detector… The target has not been recognized by the main program in 30 seconds. The carrier will activate the self-destruct system. Countdown: 30, 29, 28…"
What? Mu Fan was shocked. This did not give him a chance to think at all. Who knew how powerful this thing was when it self-destructed? He did not have time to think. When the system had just started counting down to 20 seconds, Mu Fan pressed his hand on the spherical body, which shone with a faint blue light.
"Hiss!" Mu Fan suddenly felt countless steel needles sticking out of the ball and stabbing into his palm. Then he withdrew his hand just as he was about to withdraw it.
The blue light of the spherical body turned from blue to red, and then to blue.
"Information about the host's DNA has been confirmed. System binding successful. System activated… Host, please name the carrier."
Mu Fan had already withdrawn his palm. He was speechless when he saw more than 20 bleeding points on his palm. Was there a need to poke so many needles?
"Host, please name the carrier." The electronic voice came again, as if it had some emotion.
"Black egg!" Mu Fan said in a fit of pique. Even if it could only be seen and not eaten, it had to be called a black egg!
"… Testing the host's tone, it has a bad inclination. System approves that the name has a derogatory meaning. Please name it again." The electronic voice seemed to have real emotions this time. Mu Fan also stared blankly at the black thing in front of him! What did this black egg mean by what I said? It didn't make sense. Wasn't there no emotion when talking? You can't bully me because I'm not educated enough!
"Host, please name it again!"
"Black egg," said Mu Fan softly with a smile.
"Ding… Detected that the name is the same as the first one. Confirmed that the host has a prank mentality. System does not recognize the name. Please name it again."
Heh! Damn you! Mu Fan was determined this time. He was convinced that the black egg was bullying him for not studying enough.
"Egg!"
"Sorry, system not approved. Please name it again!"
"Black!"
"Name confirmed. Thank you for naming it. System codename: Black."
…
Mu Fan held a big piece of meat in his hand and looked at the black egg expressionlessly. No, it was "black" chewing now. The taste of meat, which had excited him for five minutes, no longer interested him.
He was certain that the system was intelligent. He was not happy when he confirmed that the system was playing him.
Black had not made any sound since it recognized its master. It even kept the white ball, as if it knew something was wrong with Mu Fan.
Suddenly, Mu Fan, who was eating meat, stopped. He saw that the black egg detector was coming out, but the moment his mouth stopped… Damn it!!! The broken detector stopped too, as if it had noticed!
"B * stard! Don't act like a corpse! Don't act like a normal processor when you talk! I know you understand what I'm saying! Are you playing with me on purpose? If you don't talk, I'll break your shell!"
Mu Fan exploded without warning. Well, he was a little embarrassed and angry.
"The current shell of the system's carrier is the alloy of the Eumla, and its hardness is 13 times that of the industrial steel in the hands of the host. The system has determined that the host cannot cause any harm to the 'Black'. Please take this as a reference." The electronic voice spoke without hesitation this time, and its speed was extremely fast.
"…" Mu Fan suddenly felt that his stomach was full, and then he said fiercely, word by word, as if a cold wind was squeezed out from between his teeth, "Black!"
The white detector quivered, then rose shakily. "Sorry, the system detected prank commands in the executive code, and they cannot be changed. The system developer should set a hidden Easter egg. Blackie obeys all your orders. Blackie's interests are all with you as the starting point. Rest assured, host."
"Introduce yourself, Blackie." Mu Fan was finally relieved.
