Chapter Three: Black

Please name the host for the carrier " The electronic voice came again, as if it carried some emotion

"Creak" Mu Fan suddenly stood up and turned around, "Who!"

Hey! Damn it! Mu Fan is really fired up this time; he has already convinced himself that this black egg is taking advantage of his limited education.

The body is in a half-bow position, the right hand grips a dagger in a reverse hold at the front, the left hand is clenched into a fist and pressed against the waist, and all around is a profound silence, as if nothing had just occurred.

Black Egg! Speak to me, don't pretend to be a corpse! And don't act like an ordinary light brain when you talk! I know you can definitely understand what I'm saying! Are you deliberately messing with me? If you don't speak, I will break your shell!

Egg

Mu Fan did not move again; he only saw the white ball emit a light blue vertical fan-shaped light curtain. After rotating once, it scanned the vigilant face of Mu Fan and then came to a stop.

Creak, creak, under the illumination of the leaping flames, the black egg cracked open a fissure, as if something truly happened, ready to break free from its shell

Mu Fan suddenly felt that his stomach was already full, and then he said fiercely, word by word, as if a cold wind was squeezing out from between his teeth, "Black! - Please, answer, the, master's, question!"

The electronic sound continued to emit, "System recognizing the master, please place the palm of the target human on the spherical detector..."

Black

Scan complete, no other active organisms detected

The name has been confirmed, thank you to the host for the naming. System code: Black

A sudden mechanical electronic sound emanated from within the black egg, intermittent and fragmented. "Self-diagnosis in progress... Time detection, data disorder anomaly, time unknown... Database integrity check, 91% loss... Checking main brain artificial intelligence, integrity 87%... Activating Alpha intelligence module, initiating emotional simulation function, beep, emotional simulation module damaged, enabling second option: skip, background repair.

Activating Alpha intelligence module, initiating emotional simulation function, beep, emotional simulation module damaged, enabling second option: skip, background repair. Connecting to onboard database... beep, Alpha super brain successfully activated, detecting surrounding environment..."

Mu Fan felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy, gripping the dagger tightly in his right hand. He began to cautiously adjust his posture, his gaze fixed intently on the somewhat eerie black egg before him

Then the black egg fell silent. Mu Fan cautiously took a small step, and with a "zi" sound, a small opening suddenly appeared in the waist area of the black egg. An antenna extended from it, with a white spherical object at the tip, inside which a faint blue light was flickering

Introduce yourself, Hei. Mu Fan finally felt a sense of relief.

The campfire crackled and burned, and a simple rack had been set up over the fire. Large chunks of meat were skewered on iron rods, and golden oil dripped down onto the charcoal, producing wisps of fragrant smoke that lingered in the air. Mu Fan occasionally used a dagger to score the meat, sprinkling it with salt. Ah, a meal more delicious and sumptuous than the plant rat, a hunt yielding enough meat to last for two days, and a jungle where such meat could be found again. Today's harvest was substantial, and Mu Fan's eyes squinted with happiness.

With a bang, the black egg was thrown aside onto the pile of scrap. Then, Mu Fan's gaze fixated intently on the ferocious beast lying on the ground. He swallowed hard and no longer paid any attention to the black egg.

After acknowledging its master, "Black" fell silent, even retracting the white sphere, as if it sensed that Mu Fan was not quite right at that moment

Scan complete, detected a total of 2 active organisms, identified: human, identified: fly species

The white detector trembled slightly, then shakily rose up. "Apologies, host, the system has detected a prank command in the execution code, which cannot be altered. It is likely a hidden easter egg set by the system developers. Hei will comply with all your commands, and all of Hei's interests are based on the host. Please rest assured, host."

With a light sigh, Mu Fan had returned to his stronghold, back to this industrial wasteland piled with alloys, and his heart found peace.

He has already confirmed that this system is definitely intelligent. Just now, it was certain and assured that the system is playing tricks on him, which made him feel very displeased

He Mu Fan forced a smile this time and said in a gentle tone

... ... Detecting the host's tone, there is a negative tendency. The system defaults that this name has a derogatory connotation, please rename it again. The electronic sound this time seems to truly carry emotions. Mu Fan also stared blankly at this pitch-black object in front of him. This black egg can understand what I am saying! This is unscientific. Wasn't it said that speech is always devoid of emotion? You can't take advantage of me just because I have read less!

Suddenly, Mu Fan, who was eating meat, stopped his mouth because he saw the black egg's detector emerging. However, at the moment his mouth stopped... Damn it!!! That broken detector seemed to have sensed it and also came to a halt!!!

Black Egg! Mu Fan said in a fit of pique, it can only be seen and not eaten, but it still has to be called Black Egg

What? Mu Fan was taken aback; this left no opportunity for contemplation. Who knows how great the destructive power of this thing is? Just as the system's countdown reached 20 seconds, Mu Fan pressed his hand onto it, grasping the spherical object that emitted a faint blue light.

The light curtain narrowed from wide to a single line and retracted, as an electronic voice once again announced, "System recognizing owner, please place the palm of the target human on the spherical detector..."

Suddenly, Mu Fan felt countless steel spikes extending from the sphere piercing into his palm, and then, at the moment he wanted to withdraw his hand, they retracted back.

Mufan held a large piece of meat in his hand, expressionless as he faced Heidan, no, now it was "He" chewing. The flavor of the meat that had excited him just five minutes ago no longer piqued his interest.

... ...

The pale blue light curtain suddenly shifted from blue to red, elongating to scan his entire body once more. Mu Fan squinted his eyes without making any movement

The spherical body emits a blue glow that transitions to red, and then back to blue

Mufan has already retracted his palm, and seeing more than 20 bleeding points on his hand, he is extremely speechless. As for why so many needles were pricked...

With another "creak," Mu Fan quickly turned to the right, where he had just thrown down the black egg. Indeed, it seemed that this black egg was causing the commotion.

Beep, it has been detected that this name is the same as the first name. The system concludes that the host has a mischievous intent and will not accept this name. Please rename again.

Please rename the host again

Sorry, the system does not approve, please rename again

The current shell of the system is made of Omra alloy, with a hardness 13 times that of the industrial steel in the host's hand. The system has determined that the host is unable to inflict damage on 'Black', please take note. The electronic voice spoke this time without any hesitation, and at an incredibly fast pace.

Mufan was momentarily taken aback and did not move

System recognition of the master, please have the target human place their palm on the spherical detector... If the target has not initiated the master recognition procedure within 30 seconds, the carrier will activate the self-destruction system. Countdown 30, 29, 28...

According to the guidelines of the intelligent brain, convert the primary objective of the current carrier to survival

Mu Fan erupted without any warning, feeling somewhat embarrassed and angry

Detection of galaxy ADO network, detection failed... ... Beep, activating host system, initiating recognition program, target organism is human, criteria met; detected slight constriction of target organism's pupils, stable pulse, body proportion—slightly thin, muscle density—strong. ! Defensive actions observed, explosive power undetermined, system assessment—non-civilian, meets host selection program criteria, recognized as compliant with the recognition program.

Host DNA information has been confirmed, system binding successful, system activating... Please name the carrier.
