In the early morning, Chen Yang was about to get up and go to the noodle shop. As he thought of yesterday's events, he suddenly felt dejected and lay back on the bed. He wondered, what was the point of going to the noodle shop now?
Lying back in bed, Chen Yang decided to go back to sleep. While his right hand was still unconscious, he could get a bit more rest.
But an hour later, his sleep was interrupted by the ring of his phone. Chen Yang, still groggy, picked up the phone and listened to the delivery man's voice, puzzled. When had he bought anything?
This confusion didn't last long. Chen Yang then remembered that his online bank account had almost been drained by his right hand yesterday. It must have bought something.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang was so frightened that he immediately got up. If he lost or damaged what this extraterrestrial had bought, he couldn't imagine how terrible his fate would be.
To sign for the delivery, he had to go out of the alley. No delivery man would be kind enough to enter this complex area. Chen Yang put on a shirt, slipped on his slippers, and rushed out of the alley like a gust of wind. A delivery truck was parked by the roadside.
Good grief, Chen Yang was amazed. What had his right hand bought with over 15,000 yuan? Such a large box?
Yes, the box was big enough to fit a refrigerator, indicating its enormous size.
The delivery man was also a bit worried. He opened the back of the truck, looked at the box inside, and hesitated, "Sir, I think you should find more people to help. Otherwise, you won't be able to move it alone."
"Okay, I'll sign first."
The delivery man handed the form to Chen Yang and then called other customers to come and pick up their deliveries.
"Signed."
The form was handed to the delivery man.
"Signed?"
The delivery man hung up the phone, took the form, and looked up, almost popping his eyes out in surprise.
Due to his shock, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
How could he not be shocked? It took four delivery men to load the box, and now this young man, wearing a white shirt, shorts, and a pair of worn-out slippers, looking like a jobless person, easily picked up the box with both hands and carried it out of the truck.
Are you kidding me?
Four strong men spent half a day moving it, and one person could do it?
No, he looked very relaxed. Was he hallucinating?
The delivery man blinked, confirming it wasn't a hallucination. His mind went blank. Damn, he had encountered a hidden powerhouse today.
Chen Yang didn't notice the delivery man's shock. Due to his rapidly increased strength, he hadn't adapted yet. He just felt that the box, though large, wasn't that heavy.
He carried the entire box back to the basement with ease, walking several hundred meters without breaking a sweat.
Although curious about what his right hand had bought, Chen Yang didn't dare to open the box without permission.
"What could be inside this big box that costs over 15,000 yuan?"
Just as Chen Yang was wondering, he received another delivery call, asking him to go out and pick up something.
It turned out that the purchase wasn't just this one box.
Chen Yang went out and soon returned to the basement with another box. This box was secured and protected with wood, with many protective layers in between, and was slightly smaller than the first one.
This wasn't the end. Over the next two hours, Chen Yang carried back five more large boxes, stacking them in the basement, creating a grand scene.
"So many things... What does it want to do?"
Chen Yang suddenly felt a bit guilty, as if everyone was secretly accusing him of betraying dear Earth.
"Ha, well, I'm just too worried. Who says extraterrestrials are always evil? Maybe they come with friendly intentions."
Chen Yang could only comfort himself this way. Besides, what could he do if the extraterrestrial in his body had malicious intentions toward Earth humans? Heroes aren't that easy to be.
While he was lost in thought, his right hand woke up without him noticing.
"Have all the items been delivered?"
It was the same appearance, the same aura. Chen Yang was only slightly stunned, without the fear he had felt the day before. "Commander Screw, you're finally awake. I don't know if there are any issues with these items, but please check them."
The right hand extended several meters, circling around the seven large boxes, checking for any damage. Satisfied, it said, "Not bad, everything seems to be here. I just hope nothing is damaged inside."
As it spoke, the right hand suddenly transformed into dozens of tentacles, starting to open each box.
Chen Yang was puzzled as the boxes were opened. Inside were all sorts of miscellaneous items. He glanced at them and saw metal gears, DC motors, beakers, measuring cylinders, thermometers, chemicals, various metal materials, and more.
It was incredibly difficult to figure out what the right hand intended to do with such a variety of items.
"From now on, host, you must completely obey my orders. If you make any mistakes, there will be consequences..."
The right hand's mouth opened wide, making Chen Yang shudder.
"I understand, I will definitely obey your orders!"
Chen Yang swore with a more serious expression than a soldier.
"Actually, if you completely obey my orders, I don't mind giving you some benefits."
The right hand turned a few times, looking down at Chen Yang. "In human terms, we are now bound together. Neither of us can survive without the other. You should have understood my goal from the beginning. I have no interest in your human civilization; everything is just to complete my plan."
"Once my plan is completed, I will leave, and you will be free."
"Really?"
Chen Yang's spirits lifted, almost shedding tears. Could he really have a day of freedom again?
"I never lie. Completing my plan will not only make you a top-tier existence among humans but also grant you freedom."
The right hand's words didn't seem to be a lie. Chen Yang was extremely excited. He never wanted to be abused by this thing. Who would want to be slapped while drinking water? Who would want to suffer cuts and burns for every mistake? The most tragic part was that he couldn't use his right hand to wipe after using the toilet, otherwise, he would get a beating!
Oh, wiping after using the toilet is a big deal in life. Not being able to use his right hand for this task was very embarrassing and uncomfortable!
"Now, I need you to do something very important, crucial to our survival. If we make a mistake, not only will I lose my life, but you will too!"
Chen Yang hadn't had time to be happy when he was frightened by the right hand's next words.
"W-What is it?"
Cold sweat trickled down Chen Yang's forehead.
"Host, first, you need to understand that the universe is vast, and life is diverse, beyond human comprehension. My body structure is not a single individual like humans but is composed of four separate components, which communicate through brain waves."
"Four separate components?"
Chen Yang couldn't imagine what that would look like.
"Usually, although my four components are separate, they stay within a few dozen meters of each other, so only one component has consciousness and becomes the dominant one, which is me now."
"But if an accident causes the four components to separate, to survive, the other three components will develop their own consciousness over time, trying to stay alive. This will also cause a disaster."
The right hand's words left Chen Yang amazed. He never imagined the extraterrestrial in his right hand could be so extraordinary.
