[Illusion and Desire] (Chapter 1: A Turning Point in Fate)

Chapter One: A Turning Point in Fate 　　The
sky was cloudless, and an occasional gust of wind swept across the street, bringing no relief but instead making
one sweat profusely. The cicadas in the trees occasionally let out a listless chirp.
On the road, a boy of about 17 or 18 years old was riding a slightly worn
bicycle with great effort under the scorching sun.
It was Saturday, 1:56 PM, and only a few cars occasionally passed by
. A gust of hot wind blew past, and Zhou Meng wiped the sweat that was about to drip into his eyes, continuing to pedal hard.
Zhou Meng was 17 years old, a sophomore in high school, about 170 cm tall, and slightly thin compared to his peers
. Embracing the spirit of the new generation of homebodies, Zhou Meng was very low-key at school
. Whether in academics or sports, Zhou Meng showed no outstanding qualities. In half a year in his class, apart from
a few close friends who knew him well, some classmates didn't even remember what he called.
(What? You say it's Sunday and you're not running around at home during the middle of the day? Well, you can only thank the state of the nation for that.)
To get good grades, schools nowadays start extra classes from elementary school, and by high school, a day and a half
off a month is considered good.
Zhou Meng is a day student (someone who goes home for lunch and dinner and doesn't
board at school), and his home isn't far from school—about a ten-minute bike ride.
But for Zhou Meng, who's always in a rush, even though he's already pushed his bike to its
limit, he still wants to go even faster.
A typical homebody, yesterday he was trying to download an adult
film by a famous foreign artist, "Matsushima X." Through persistent effort and an insanely slow internet connection, he finally managed to
download it and watched it.
This afternoon, because he slept in too late yesterday, he woke up from his lunch break to find he still had 7 or 8 minutes before
class. To get to school before class, Zhou Meng is now speeding along.
Zhou Meng checked his watch as he rode his bike. There were still three minutes left. Logically, even if everything went smoothly,
he would be late for class. However, since it was history class this afternoon, and the history teacher usually arrived five minutes after class started
, he still had a chance.
Zhou Meng kept checking his watch and rode quickly. He knew he was almost at school after two more turns, with
just over a minute left. He prayed the teacher wouldn't arrive early, or he'd have to stand for the whole period.
After a turn, Zhou Meng suddenly felt the front wheel slip, and his body flew off,
crashing heavily to the ground. Because he was riding very fast and hadn't been prepared for the sudden fall,
he felt like he had broken bones all over his body.
"Damn, I'm completely shattered!" was Zhou Meng's first thought.
"The ground is so hot, like a hot plate!" was his second thought.
"Now I don't have to rush, I don't even need to make up an excuse, and I don't have to get scolded by the teacher!" was Zhou Meng's third thought
.
Zhou Meng felt a little smug at this thought, and since falling down meant he could ask for leave and probably
rest at home for a couple of days.
About ten seconds later, Zhou Meng got up from the ground, turned around, and saw that the front wheel of his bicycle was stuck
in a manhole, completely deformed.
After cursing the thief who stole the manhole cover for the thousandth and first time, Zhou Meng endured the pain and
pulled his bicycle out of the manhole.
Because the school was afraid students would ask for leave indiscriminately, the rule was that a parent had to speak in person to grant leave. So he first
took out his Nokia and called home, saying he had fallen and asking his family to call his father to ask for leave, and
then ask his family to come pick him up. Zhou Meng then endured the pain and moved the damaged bicycle to a tree by the roadside, 　　patiently waiting for his family
in the shade . 　　 Zhou Meng then carefully examined her injuries. She had a scrape on her left knee, which 　　wasn't serious. The main problem was that her left hand had been cut by a pebble on the road, and blood was flowing continuously. However, the cut wasn't large and 　　could be easily bandaged. 　　 As Zhou Meng leaned against a tree, examining her wound, some of her blood inadvertently splashed 　　onto a small, common pebble. 　　 With each drop of blood, the pebble reacted miraculously, 　　slowly absorbing the blood. 　　 After the blood was completely absorbed, the pebble suddenly flashed with light and then disappeared. At the same time, Zhou Meng suddenly 　　felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground. 　　 After Zhou Meng lost consciousness, a series of unidentified characters flashed through her mind: 　　 "??????????????? è′??????????????? °ipad??????????????? 　　1????????? 　　 é ?????????¤§è?2èaa??o??¨" Translation: ("This Imperial 27 　　-dimensional string universe parallel jump failed! Self-check initiation!" 　　 "Silicon-based carrier t9542211 destroyed; core damage 9988475…%; 　　energy body reaction disappeared; thought body reaction disappeared." 　　 "Link to mainframe terminal lost, unable to contact mainframe for retrieval sequence." 　　 "Individual has no self-repair potential, no retrieval value!" 　　 "Destruction program initiated successfully, progress 0%, 01% annihilation program ended, initial program completion!") 　　 "Main brain core restarted, database data sealed, main brain core permissions reset to zero, regression procedure initiated, initiating 　　reloading of the thought entity!" 　　 Then, an invisible wave emanated from Zhou Meng's head, initiating a 360° scan 　　. This process was quick, but it fell silent afterward, as if encountering a problem. Even the flashing 　　text became increasingly chaotic before finally displaying the message again: 　　 "Reloading thought entity failed. No matching thought entity frequency was found within the effective range. Please select: 　　1. Wait for main brain sequence rescue; 2. Try reloading the thought entity again..."

"Please select..."
"Please select..."
"Reloading thought body failed. No thought body with a matching frequency is available within the valid range. Please select:
..."
"Please select..."
"Please select..."
This thing clearly wasn't the type to think outside the box. The current environment prevented it from finding a usable
new "thought body," yet it needed confirmation from a "thought body" to proceed to the next step, causing it to
become mentally deranged and trapped in an infinite loop.
After countless repetitions, it finally "understood," performed a self-check, and remained silent for a
while:
"The main brain's core hardware is 99.9% damaged, causing a logical error. The current space is determined to be a
four-dimensional low-string universe, containing a large number of low-dimensional carbon-based primitive life forms that have not developed an intelligent evolutionary system.
There is no suitable thought body to choose from."
"Matrix core self-rescue emergency program activated. Silicon-based system intelligent auxiliary program initiated and granted autonomy
. Temporarily selecting a carbon-based life form as a carrier. Loading begins: Progress 01%, 02%."
Then, with a dazzling light from the phone, Zhou Meng truly fainted.
When Zhou Meng woke up, he found himself in a hospital bed with a nurse (a minor character, not
the protagonist's romantic interest) beside him. His parents were anxiously waiting nearby. A doctor came in and diagnosed him with a mild
concussion and heatstroke, explaining that he could be discharged immediately and would recover in a couple of days at home.
Zhou Meng had just had a strange dream. In the dream, a mechanical voice told him that he had become
the new generation carrier of the main brain system in the 27th-dimensional universe. The main brain wanted him to replenish its energy quickly,
as it was currently extremely low on energy. If the main brain didn't receive energy replenishment soon, it would be
completely annihilated, and Zhou Meng, as its host, would also die.
Back home, Zhou's mother said to Zhou Meng, "Xiao Meng, I've already asked the school to let you rest for two days.
Rest at home for a couple of days, read some books, and go back to class when you feel better."
"Dad, Mom, I'm a little tired. I'll go to my room and lie down for a while. Just call me when it's time to eat."
After saying goodbye to her parents and explaining that she was a little tired and going to rest, Zhou Meng, with a mix of trepidation
and excitement, tentatively called out in her mind, based on the information she had received in her dream, "Main Brain?"
"What are your orders, Your Mind Entity?"
A different voice appeared in her mind. Zhou Meng's first feeling wasn't fear but excitement. As a new
generation of youth in the 21st century, Zhou Meng had grown up immersed in various novels. She had always envied
the protagonists who had all sorts of systems assisting them when reading novels, and she never expected that such an opportunity would actually come to her.
"Main Brain, can you exchange for various items, like martial arts manuals or something?"
"Database corrupted, insufficient energy, this function is currently unavailable.
" "Can you do time-space trade like in novels?"
"Database corrupted, insufficient energy, this function is currently unavailable."
"What about assisting in cultivation?" "Database corrupted,
insufficient energy, this function is currently unavailable. "
"Do you have any advanced technology, like spaceships or something?" " Database corrupted
, insufficient energy, this function is currently unavailable."
...
After a series of questions, Zhou Meng realized that the main brain was basically unable to do anything. It was
quite different from his original expectations. Finally, Zhou Meng asked, unwilling to give up, "Then what functions do you still have that are usable?" " The main brain
is currently severely damaged, the database has been sealed, and energy is severely insufficient, so it cannot provide services at this time."
Zhou Meng was silent for a while, then, with a bit of naivety, thought that having a system at all was already good enough; if it's useless now, it will be useful later
. At worst, it can be used as a free chat tool.
"Your Mind Entity, please quickly replenish the main brain's energy. The main brain's energy reserves are currently at 0.0001
%. It is estimated that the main brain will collapse due to energy depletion in 86 Earth years, at which time the Mind Entity will also
perish."
"I'd probably be dead by 86 Earth years ago," Zhou Meng replied nonchalantly.
"The Mind Entity has now merged with the main brain. With sufficient energy, the main brain will maintain
the main brain's physical body in optimal condition. 86 Earth years is just a short time. According to records, the shortest lifespan of a host
is 1.28364 billion Earth years, and no host has ever died due to lifespan issues
."
"Doesn't that mean I can live forever?" Zhou Meng asked excitedly. After all, immortality is
one of the ultimate goals pursued by the Chinese people for five thousand years. So many emperors in ancient times failed to achieve this
wish, and now that she could, Zhou Meng, though still young, was also a little excited.
"By Earth's standards, and with sufficient energy, yes. But the mainframe's energy is severely
insufficient, so it cannot replenish the energy of the thought body's physical form."
"Then how can we replenish the mainframe's energy? Can we charge it?" Zhou Meng asked.
"Charging is not recommended; the conversion efficiency is too low. Approximately 1 billion kilowatt-hours can convert to
0.001% of the energy."
"Damn, I couldn't afford that much electricity even if I sold myself! Does the mainframe have any other methods?"
"The thought body can go to a star. As long as the thought body's physical form reaches the mainframe, it can absorb energy
and repair the system."
"Uh, that doesn't seem feasible. Forget about going to the sun; I've never even been abroad in my life. I'd probably
die before I even left Earth." "
With current world technology, the thought body can create a large ion collider, create an artificial black hole, and then
absorb energy through the black hole."
Zhou Meng was speechless at the mainframe's energy replenishment method. The mainframe's solution felt
like something out of a science fiction novel.
"Is there a method I can do right now, even if it's less efficient?" Zhou Meng asked one last time.
"The system's database is damaged and lacks energy, which has been sealed away. Our understanding of Earth is severely inadequate, and there is currently no information that aligns with our thinking."
" The method required by the body is for the thinking entity to explore on its own."
"Please find a way to replenish energy within 30 Earth years. Due to the system's lack of energy, it may
lead to a partial loss of the thinking entity's physical life energy. It is estimated that the thinking entity's physical body can support 30 Earth years." "
Damn, mainframe, you haven't brought any benefits yet, how come you bring a side effect first? Can't I just not use you
?" Zhou Meng asked dissatisfiedly.
"Thinking entity, now that you have merged with the mainframe, you cannot separate from the mainframe before death,
and after your death, due to the severe damage to the mainframe, you will also naturally annihilate."
"I wonder if Shi Ningxiang will believe me if she doesn't believe that I encountered such a sci-fi thing. She'll probably think I've
been reading too many science fiction novels and is joking with her."
Thinking of the girl she secretly admired, Zhou Meng couldn't help but smile slightly.
Should she confess to her? Zhou Meng pondered this question that she had been considering for a long time.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Meng still couldn't make up her mind .
"Forget it, things will work themselves out. I didn't sleep well last night anyway, I'll catch up on some sleep first." Saying this, she climbed into bed
and fell asleep.
