Chapter 17: Don't Want Overtime (End)
【Item Name: 34576 (Yi Yu's Cell Phone)】
【Analysis Completion: 98.75%】
【Effect Description: Call a person named "Yi Yu" in the contact list and state an event, which can make the locked target repeat that action. The duration of the effect depends on the spiritual power used by the activator; ten units of spiritual power can sustain it for one second. The day after activation, a period of fatigue will set in, the degree of which depends on the energy consumed by the locked target performing the action.】
【Influence Rank: D】
【Analysis Evaluation: Congratulations, your mind is clear for once.】
【Points Gained: 3 (Current: 4)】
【Analysis Reward: "Mom" (Miniature Version)】
【high dimension Analysis Attempts: -1 (Remaining: 0)】
Liu Sheng tried to ignore the Analysis Device's Yin and Yang Qi, but still felt a bit resentful.
She had already tried so hard, racking her brain, yet failed to achieve 100% analysis.
In the previous analysis, she thought the weird objects should be "Yi Yu," but from the results, the truth was not that simple.
It was only when she returned to Little Green Garden and saw her mother that she got the inspiration.
She had actually overlooked "Mom" Wang Juan, who had behaved abnormally since the first high dimension analysis.
Clearly, the first time, she was directly cut down by "Mom" with a knife.
How could a normal mother know her daughter's information, and even less would she kill her daughter just because she didn't want to work overtime or wanted to resign?
Later, when she talked to her mother about ideals and reality, she realized that for Ling Youlian, who had a happy family and her own career, not achieving her dreams was still a certain regret. So what about "Mom," for whom everything went wrong?
In Yi Yu's memories, Wang Juan was neglected from a young age. As a small-town student who excelled in exams, she struggled in the big city, had a difficult job, a cold husband, and then lost her job. She could only pour all her heart and Soul into Yi Yu's upbringing.
Her excessive investment left no room for even a slight variable, like a desperate gambler.
She monitored, tracked, and controlled Yi Yu, while simultaneously ignoring Yi Yu's pain and suppression.
As a result, an overwhelmed Yi Yu chose to end her own life.
Wang Juan could not accept her investment turning into nothing, especially when she saw Yi Yu's diary and realized she was the "culprit," which made it even harder to accept.
So she also chose to go to her doom.
Yi Yu's suppressed pain and Wang Juan's twisted obsession, by a strange Opportunity, actually gave birth to a weird objects with "one body, two Souls."
And Wang Juan's obsession was even stronger; her true form should be those black tentacles, representing confinement and manipulation. She formed that world and also formed the "Yi Yu" that Liu Sheng played.
Therefore, "Yi Yu's" body also contained the power of the tentacles, because they were originally one, all belonging to Wang Juan.
And the real Yi Yu was hidden in the cell phone, bound by Wang Juan to her side.
To truly break the deadlock, Wang Juan had to be awakened from her self-deceiving illusion, releasing Yi Yu.
Now, the weird objects 【34576】 is simply the suppressed obsession of "Yi Yu."
But, where did the points get deducted?
You know, for a top student who likes to get full marks, this is intolerable.
Unfortunately, she no longer had the Opportunity to confirm what else might have been overlooked.
However, the performance of this Analysis Device, after being modified by her, was still something she was very proud of, especially the "Effect Description" point. Previously, it could only roughly analyze what effects there were.
For example, before, the effect of the weird objects 【34576】 would roughly be written as "can make the locked target repeat a specified action," but the specific activation method and side effects still had to be gradually explored through practice.
It's just that there are still some vague points, such as "Influence Rank," which does not match their current five major Ranks.
Also, what are "points gained"? What exactly are they for?
Liu Sheng felt that this Analysis Device still had room for improvement.
Besides, what kind of reward is "Mom"?
And it's a miniature version.
That's a bit scary.
Liu Sheng's mind conjured an image of a Thumbelina-like Wang Juan nagging in her ear.
No, no, Liu Sheng was terrified by her own imagination and shivered. She didn't want it.
Suddenly, she felt something and looked down at the tip of her right index finger.
A black tentacle, about one finger joint long and five millimeters in diameter, emerged from her fingertip and shyly greeted her.
She didn't know how she could discern this hint of shyness from this smooth black tentacle.
In any case, this tentacle was now quite enthusiastically wrapping around her finger, wiggling back and forth.
This, this is "Mom"?
It was indeed a miniature version, compared to that "Mom" with tentacles covering the sky and mountains of fleshy strips.
But how would she face people in the future? With this thing on her finger, wouldn't she be treated as a weird objects and taken for research?
Little Tentacle seemed to know Liu Sheng's thoughts, suddenly shrank, until it retracted into her index finger and disappeared.
Liu Sheng sensed it, but felt nothing, as if there was nothing in her index finger, and everything just now was an illusion.
But with a thought, Little Tentacle extended out again, wagging proudly.
"Can this thing be analyzed?" Liu Sheng was eager to try, but the problem was that it seemed to have grown on her finger.
Little Tentacle twisted as if thinking, then squeezed out a drop of black liquid, which fell onto the desktop, forming a tiny, metallic-lustered bead.
Liu Sheng carefully put away Yi Yu's cell phone from the Analysis Device, picked up the bead, and placed it on the Analysis Device.
【Item Name: "Mom" (Miniature Version)】
【Analysis Completion: 100%】
【Effect Description: A voluntarily extracted part of a twisted obsession variant, growing on the Soul, capable of extending and retracting, growing large and small. It will further evolve by feeding on Guai Qi.】
【Influence Rank: S】
【Analysis Evaluation: Keep it, it will become your Mom.】
"Voluntarily extracted?" Liu Sheng's mind conjured the slightly hunched, slender figure of Wang Juan standing alone by the sea, and her heart ached.
She didn't expect her daughter's Rank to be only D, while Mom's was actually S-Rank, or even higher.
As for the last sentence, Liu Sheng wondered how it seemed like an insult.
Little Tentacle on her finger extended and licked, and the small bead was licked back, rejoining into one body.
"It says it can extend and retract, grow large and small, but why do you feel so thin and small?" Liu Sheng pondered.
Little Tentacle anxiously jumped up and down, looking even thinner.
"Oh, you mean I'm mainly lacking energy, and secondly, I'm too weak."
Liu Sheng knew that the former was because her energy was drained after the high dimension analysis.
To improve the latter, she probably still needed to exercise her body, and if she could cultivate the Dao, it would be even better.
"And you still need to eat Guai Qi to grow up. Where can I find Guai Qi for you?"
Liu Sheng pondered.
Speaking of which, the timing is just right. I should go to the cafeteria first to eat and replenish my energy.
