Chapter 114: New Residents Move In
Knock, knock, knock.
A knocking sound echoed.
Liu Sheng sat up in one swift motion, her tentacles shooting out from behind her.
An eyeball crawled out the door, standing tall, meeting Ling Youlian's gaze with its three eyes.
“Liu Sheng!” Ling Youlian roared, enraged.
“Do you want to scare your mother to death! Put that thing away!”
Only then did Liu Sheng realize she wasn't in a Weird Domain anymore, but back home in the Little Green Garden.
“Oh no, it was Mom!”
“I’ll emphasize it again, that’s also *my* ‘Mom’! Not ‘that thing’!”
Feeling a headache coming on.
Liu Sheng rubbed her head and said, “Shut up!”
“Who are you telling to shut up?”
Ling Youlian's voice was chilling, like the prelude to an impending storm; if Liu Ruhai had seen this, he would have run far away immediately.
“Mom, I wasn’t talking about you.”
Liu Sheng quickly got up, retracted her tentacles, and like a whirlwind, opened the door, embracing her mother tightly, sniffing the familiar scent in her mother's arms, and rubbing against her, acting spoiled.
“This scene is unbearable to watch.”
“The character setting is collapsing! Hey, hey, hey!”
Behind Liu Sheng’s back, Little Tentacle poked out and quietly scratched Liu Sheng, looking wronged, as if emphasizing that it too should have a proper name.
“In any case, it can't be ‘Mom’, or it’ll be a mess.”
“But it *is* ‘Mom’, that's the name World gave it.”
“world 2.0, why don’t you say something!”
Then, a dry, neutral voice echoed in Liu Sheng’s mind.
“Apologies, I cannot comprehend your discussion, but it is indeed ‘Mom’. Please allow me to display the latest analysis results.”
Before Liu Sheng could refuse, a giant light screen appeared suspended in mid-air before her eyes, but Ling Youlian seemed oblivious, clearly only Liu Sheng herself could see it.
—
“Item Name: ‘Mom’ (Evolved First Rank Custom Edition)”
“Analysis Completion: 100%”
“Effect Description: A voluntarily extracted part of a twisted obsession variant, it can extend and retract, grow large or small, possesses the sacred power of faith, and can combine with Lingtual attributes. It can be further evolved by feeding it Guai Qi, Spiritual Qi, and by increasing the number of believers who worship ‘Earth Mother’.”
“Influence Rank: S”
“Analysis Evaluation: Keep it; it will become everyone’s mom.”

Little Tentacle “saw” this and excitedly tapped Liu Sheng.
“I know, I know! I’ve seen it eight hundred times already.”
A hand reached behind her and pressed the unruly tentacle back.
“Alright, you’re a big girl now, go wash up!” Ling Youlian couldn't stand it anymore, pulling Liu Sheng off her, “Your father has made dinner, hurry up and wash up and get dressed.”
“Also, remember to wake up your two friends. Especially that girl with the grass on her head, I could hear her snoring loudly when I passed her door, she must be exhausted.”
Ling Youlian instructed, then shook her head and left.
Liu Sheng also shook her own head, trying to clear it.
But for now, it was a bit difficult.
Because there were simply too many voices in her body.
She had long grown accustomed to Little Tentacle's voice; many times, it only conveyed emotions and didn't make a sound.
But now there were countless versions of herself, holding meetings in her head every day.
This was a side effect of her impulsive Transmigration through the box; she originally thought it would disappear once she left the Weird Domain, but it didn't.
At this moment, she couldn't tell if these were truly versions of herself from other box worlds, or if she was simply experiencing mental fragmentation.
She couldn't tell, she really couldn't tell!
Besides that, “world 2.0” could also speak now.
And it was in her head.
Because, now the entire “world 2.0” was inside her body.
She had Professor Tang to thank for that!
Every time she thought of this, Liu Sheng couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear, looking exceedingly pleased.
When she was about to leave, Professor Tang said she wanted to give her a parting gift.
She had been very curious what it would be at the time.
It wasn't the first time she'd seen a weird objects give a gift, but usually that meant death or something similar.
“Bring out that inferior thing of yours.”
As soon as Professor Tang spoke, Liu Sheng couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
“I’m not saying your design concept isn’t good; on the contrary, your idea is extremely ingenious, which is why it can touch the high dimension boundary, and it can even self-iterate and grow continuously. Given time, if you can Breakthrough the blockade, you can even use it to enter the high dimension.”
“Our two worlds have different technology trees, and I can’t give you more advice. I think you’ve done the utmost you can with the core part.”
“But I have to say!”
“The Materials of your outer shell are too poor!”
Professor Tang looked at the “world 2.0” Liu Sheng had taken out, shaking her head at its cold metal exterior.
“Huh? This is already the Advanced Starfall Iron I specifically bought for its excellent ductility, and it cost me a lot of Lingtual!” Liu Sheng grimaced in pain.
“Although I don’t understand what Starfall Iron is, in my opinion, these Materials are still too ordinary.” Professor Tang still shook her head in disdain.
“If you use these mundane Materials for the outer shell, aren't you limiting its growth? You should know, according to your current design, it will continuously engrave, grow, and then fold. Its future volume is hard to estimate and limitless.”
“Then what is your suggestion?” Liu Sheng asked politely.
“I’ll help you modify it.”
Professor Tang said without hesitation, directly cupping “world 2.0” in her palm.
What followed made Liu Sheng’s heart skip a beat, her eyes widening in horror.
Professor Tang’s palm actually split open into a terrifying giant mouth filled with sharp teeth, directly swallowing the entire “world 2.0” in one gulp, then “retching” and spitting out a pile of parts and a Formation Plate, still covered in blood-streaked, transparent mucus.
Before Liu Sheng could recover from her shock, or even feel distressed, Professor Tang waved her hand again, and a large mass of flesh was pulled out from countless grids below her, floating to her hand. Between the flesh, frightened and curious eyeballs occasionally popped out.
Then Professor Tang kneaded this mass of flesh, and also pulled a sticky, thorny, dark piece of her own epidermis from the Void Realm, kneading them together.
Finally, it transformed into a mass of flesh mud that transcended dimensions; Liu Sheng could only widen her eyes, completely unable to grasp its true form.
Immediately after, Professor Tang used this flesh mud to wrap her “world 2.0,” which was now without its outer casing, turning it into an even larger mass of flesh mud.
As she was still wondering how she would input and communicate with it in this form, she heard Professor Tang admonish, “This thing of yours cannot be seen by others. Not everyone is like me, already possessing higher-dimensional things, so there’s no need to snatch yours.”
“In your world, this is an unparalleled treasure.” Professor Tang kindly reminded her, “If you keep it as you did before, it will be stolen one day. Don’t think putting it in your little dimensional pocket is enough; there are too many ways to steal things from there.”
But what came next was rather impolite.
“So, it’s safest to keep it inside your body.”
Then, without waiting for Liu Sheng’s response, Professor Tang, without question, directly shoved the object towards her Dantian.
This process was completed instantly.
Liu Sheng didn't even have time to show surprise.
She lightly touched her abdomen; outwardly, there was no abnormality, no scars, no foreign objects.
But when she calmed her mind and sensed it, she felt as if she had touched a new existence, slowly taking root and sprouting within her Dantian's Spiritual Qi mass.
Immediately after, a cold, mechanical voice echoed in the depths of her soul.
“Hello, Liu Sheng, I am World.”
A day of hard work with three updates!
