Chapter 33

Third update delivered, please support!

...

When Tang Cheng opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a familiar room, with a familiar bed, familiar ceiling, familiar smell, and even the familiar poster of the naked teacher A... Damn, isn't this my own room?

Moreover, there was nothing wrong with his body, even the left hand that had been severed was back.

Tang Cheng sat up, pinching his chin and muttering to himself, "Strange, could it have just been a dream? If it was a dream, it was too real, wasn't it?"

"It wasn't a dream. Everything you experienced was real. After completing the main quest in the beginner's副本 world, you were teleported back to the cycle space, and your injuries were completely healed. Additionally, since this is your first time in the cycle space, your assigned housing was built according to the most familiar and comfortable scene for you. Of course, you have the right to remodel it for free, with no limit on the number of times." A clear and cold voice suddenly said.

Tang Cheng immediately looked towards the source of the voice but didn't see anyone else in his room. It wasn't until a while later that he noticed a small figure, about thirty centimeters tall, standing on the bedsheet in front of him, looking like a figurine.

This small figure was female, with a height of about thirty centimeters, but her face was stunningly beautiful, even surpassing the beauties in the二次元. She had long, black, lustrous hair that reached below her waist, and she wore a pure black Gothic-style dress... The only flaw was that her face had no expression, giving her a cold and mechanical feel, simply put, she was the type of a "three-no" girl.

In short, if she were enlarged to a normal size, she would definitely be a beauty of the highest caliber.

However, Tang Cheng wasn't shocked by her beauty. After staring for a few seconds, he suddenly put his hand on his forehead and said with a pained expression, "This is really bad, I'm actually seeing such an illusion. This should only exist in the fantasies of late-stage chuuni boys. Could I have chuuni disease... Damn, my Qilin arm is starting to hurt!"

"I am not an illusion, but a real data manifestation," the figurine beauty said expressionlessly, then added, "Through testing, the main characteristics of the chuuni disease you mentioned are as follows: one, it's not my fault, it's the world's fault; two, I am special, different from you; three, only I possess true wisdom... Based on these characteristics, you are not a late-stage chuuni disease patient, but an incurable chuuni disease patient. It is recommended to give up treatment."

"Additionally, after testing, your arm is just a normal human arm and does not have the Qilin bloodline."

"..." Tang Cheng was silent.

After a minute of sorting out, Tang Cheng finally spoke, "Although I don't know how it was done, I seem to understand the general situation. But for safety, let's start from the beginning. First... what are you?"

"I am one of the data sets of the cycle space, created by the central system to help challengers understand the cycle world. I am also the only channel connecting challengers to the central system of the cycle world. You can call me an assistant spirit."

"Is the cycle world different from the cycle space?"

"Yes, the cycle space is a fixed space where challengers can rest and communicate. Of course, it also has various functions such as enhancement and exchange, but these functions require connection to the central system, so the assistant spirit is an essential existence. The cycle world, on the other hand, is the general term for the cycle space and the副本 world."

"If you need to exchange for enhancements, I can immediately connect you to the central system..."

"Wait, that's too much of a jump." Tang Cheng waved his hand to interrupt her, "I'm still completely clueless about this cycle space. Let's put the enhancements aside for now. I'm more curious about why, if you are just a set of data, you appear in front of me in this form?"

The assistant spirit answered, "Manifesting data in the physical realm is one of the simplest abilities in the cycle space. As for my appearance, it is generated based on the most ideal and favorite image in the challenger's mind."

"The most ideal image?" Tang Cheng frowned, "That doesn't seem right. Although black-haired, long-haired beauties are indeed my favorite type, your face, figure, and chest are very much to my taste, and I can give 32 thumbs up for that, but for your size... I can only give a negative review."

Tang Cheng looked at the thirty-centimeter body and shook his head regretfully.

"The assistant spirit's size is fixed, and each challenger's assistant spirit is a thirty-centimeter-tall humanoid."

"This is too unfair, isn't it?" Tang Cheng was unhappy, "Not to say, but your central system, since you've already created the most ideal image in the challenger's mind, why shrink it so much? It can only be seen but not touched, this mindset is really not good... Although I, a righteous person, don't care about this, but other unsatisfied challengers..."

"You can touch."

"Huh?" Tang Cheng was instantly stunned, "You can touch?"

"Yep."

"Then if I touch you, will you hit me?"

"The assistant spirit has no attack ability and cannot be injured or killed. Only when the challenger dies will the assistant spirit's data be erased from the central system."

"Oh, that's a relief." Saying this, Tang Cheng immediately grabbed the figurine beauty in front of him and placed her on his palm, then extended his other hand and gently rubbed her face, "The skin is quite smooth, nice, nice."

Under Tang Cheng's teasing, the assistant spirit remained expressionless, not even blinking.

So, she is indeed a "three-no" girl? Or does she not have any emotions at all? Although it's understandable as a set of data, it's a bit too boring.

Then, Tang Cheng's left hand gently lifted, and his right hand lifted the assistant spirit's black dress... For a man who dared to lick the inside of a woman's underwear, lifting a skirt was a piece of cake.

However, what he saw next disappointed him greatly. A beam of holy light almost blinded him.

"How can there be holy light?"

"When your thoughts or actions are suspected of being obscene, my body will automatically shield the physical realm."

"Then, if I touch, I won't be able to touch either?"

"That's right."

"Such a thing exists." Tang Cheng suddenly felt less interested, "Well, let's get back to the main topic. You said earlier that my body has been completely healed, what does that mean?"

The assistant spirit answered, "When a challenger returns from the副本 world to the cycle space, the cycle space will first repair their body. Of course, this process is actually carried out by us assistant spirits. No matter how severe the injuries, as long as the challenger is still alive, the body will be restored to its peak condition after the repair."

"I see." Tang Cheng suddenly understood.

In the Resident Evil, he had activated the supergod mode multiple times, and his body cells had approached the brink of collapse twice. Although the Golden Kura could heal his injuries, it couldn't eliminate the deeper damage. The dead cells would follow him for life, and the medical technology of the real world could not repair them. But now, he felt everything was normal.

"Is this repair so powerful that it requires survival points?"

"Yes, but the body repair from the beginner's副本 to the cycle space is free. After that, the survival points will be deducted based on the severity of the injuries. The more severe the injuries, the more survival points will be deducted."

"I understand. Then let's remodel this room next. Is there no limit to how we can remodel it?" Tang Cheng said as he got out of bed.

"Yes."

"Good." Tang Cheng nodded and said, "The overall layout doesn't need to be changed. I'm already used to this room. Just change the posters on the walls... Hmm, put a poster of your normal-sized form on the left wall, and a poster of your normal-sized nude form on the right wall. Can you do that?"

The assistant spirit hesitated for three seconds and finally nodded.

Thus, after about ten minutes, under Tang Cheng's meticulous guidance, the room was filled with posters of the black-haired, long-haired beauty, both nude and in black Gothic attire, posing in various alluring positions, everything one could imagine.

Tang Cheng was extremely satisfied with these posters, which was the most comfortable thing he had experienced since coming to the cycle space.

After finishing this, Tang Cheng placed the assistant spirit on his shoulder and went out.

Opening the door, he found himself in a long corridor, with countless rooms on both sides and opposite. He noticed the number 9527 on his room, but his neighbors were not 9526 and 9528, but 9013 and 9832.

Tang Cheng didn't think much about it and asked, "How do we get to the square?"

Before this, Tang Cheng had learned from the assistant spirit that there was a huge square in the cycle space, where challengers could communicate and trade equipment and items, similar to a trading market in a game. In the cycle space, except for the duel room and training room, battles could not be initiated in other places, so for a newcomer like Tang Cheng, who was still unfamiliar with the cycle world, the square was a very meaningful place.

If he was lucky, he could gather a lot of information and the experience of veteran challengers.

"Teleport."

The assistant spirit calmly said two words, and the next moment, Tang Cheng found himself in a huge circular square. There were all kinds of people around, and they paid no attention to his sudden appearance, clearly already accustomed to it.

"Do they not bring their assistant spirits when they go out?" Tang Cheng noticed that these people didn't have assistant spirits like him and asked curiously.

"Generally, in the cycle space, challengers and their assistant spirits do not separate, but only the challenger can see their assistant spirit. Others, including other assistant spirits, cannot see them."

"I see, that's why." Tang Cheng suddenly understood, "But, you know, this setting is quite stimulating for people with special preferences."

Noticing that the assistant spirit was looking at him, Tang Cheng immediately explained seriously, "Think about it, so many challengers, not all of them can be as upright as me, and they would let you sit on their shoulders. There must be some unscrupulous guys who would even molest you, and to seek excitement, they might put you in their pants... Look, that extremely lecherous man twenty meters away, he is even holding his stomach while walking. I bet five cents that his assistant spirit is in his pants, how perverted!"

After Tang Cheng finished speaking, he waited for three seconds but didn't hear a reply from the assistant spirit, so he asked, "Why aren't you speaking?"

"I am applying to the central system to block some of your words."

"Oh, what's the result?"

"The central system told me to be more tolerant of chuuni disease patients and mental patients."

Tang Cheng frowned, "That's not good, how can you discriminate against normal people? They have human rights too! And, you are not a 'three-no' girl, but a manipulative and sarcastic one, right?"

"..." You know too much.
