Five Frozen Centuries Chapter 109 - Time Recovery

Chapter 109: Time Recovery

The first thought Wei Huo had when he heard the ringtone was, Motherf*cker, am I dreaming? Is this my alarm?

However, Wei Huo observed his surroundings carefully. The rain continued pouring, and everything around him seemed real. There were no signs of him waking up either.

What the h.e.l.l is this? Wei Huo could not tell where the sound was coming from due to the heavy rainstorm.

He could only start swimming around. However, no matter where he swam, the sound of the ringtone would not increase or decrease. It was the same even when he dived into the sea.

Wei Huo immediately understood. Is the ringtone coming from me?

Wei Huo searched the surface of the sea and took out the landscape painting.

The ringtone became louder. “Please don’t feel sad…”

Wei Huo pulled the scroll open and saw a mini loudspeaker.

He was speechless.

It was a landscape painting with a curved screen. It looked like a scroll, but it turned out to be a screen.

“Stop, stop, stop!” Wei Huo shouted.

The ringtone stopped. Soon, a string of words appeared on the screen. “I was worried that you were a little too sad, so I played a song to improve your mood.”

Wei Huo scrunched his brows. “I’m not sad… What are you?”

Another string of words appeared on the screen. “Esteemed Awakened Player, System Number Two is serving you. However, I have a question for you. Are you an Awakened Player or an Awakened NPC?”

System Number Two? Awakened?

Wei Huo started thinking. The situation was getting clearer and clearer, but there were still many things that remained shrouded in fog.

“I should be an Awakened Player. Quick, tell me what you are. Otherwise, I will destroy you immediately!”

The screen of System Number Two was calm at first. “Hmm… Awakened Player, switch automatically to the 4,399th service package…”

However, a moment later, the tone of the words changed. “F*ck! You are an Awakened Player? F*ck… The game will start in three hours. None of the players have appeared yet. Did you cheat?”

However, the words calmed down very quickly. “Wait, your account… Could it be the administrator’s account? You’re actually the Awakened Character of the administrator’s account! Impressive! I didn’t expect my first service partner to be so impressive. I have no regrets in my life!”

Wei Huo thought about it and asked, “Are you artificial intelligence?”

A string of words appeared on the screen. “No, I’m not. I’m not a low-level creature. Like System Number One, I’m a combination of human spirits and a consciousness formed by countless dead souls. However, this consciousness was transformed into a game system 500 years ago. Not long ago, I was separated by the game creator and made into a backdoor system to serve the Awakened. Do you know about the back door? Have you heard that poem? My dear, I came from the back door. My dear, I left through the back door. With a wave of my sleeve, I left…”

“Stop!” Wei Huo tried to cut it off immediately but could not. This is a screen. How can I interrupt it? Wei Huo frowned. System Number Two doesn’t seem like a proper system!

“I understand that you’re the backdoor system, but I want to know what kind of functions you have. How can you serve me?” Wei Huo asked.

System Number Two suddenly became serious… It sang a very serious song as a message appeared on the screen. “Please take out the Creation Jade Plate. That is actually my charging device. The Creation Jade Plate can absorb energy from the void. It can absorb energy from the void indefinitely, but it can only be converted into electricity to take out the East Yellow Bell. That item is actually a positioning system. It can locate me anytime anywhere. That way, I can search the database at any time. As for how I can help you, I’m sorry. I can’t increase your combat power. I don’t have a combat ability. All I can do is give you information in the game.”

Wei Huo was shocked. Was System Number Two the equivalent of an omniscient G.o.d?

He took out the so-called positioning device and charging equipment, and the three items floated in the air. Wei Huo asked, “When will human time recover?”

A string of words appeared on the screen. “In three hours.”

Wei Huo thought to himself, That will also happen in three hours? That’s when the players will arrive.

System Number Two said, “In order for you to communicate with me without any obstacles, I suggest you purchase a quantum headset that is difficult to damage. It’s best if it’s made of vibrational gold. It’s not expensive. It costs only 300 million Magical Stones.”

Wei Huo was confused.

Not expensive?

System Number Two said, “Aren’t you an administrator? Don’t you have any Magical Stones? Alright, if you don’t have any, buy a normal quantum headset. It’s cheap. It only costs five million Magical Stones.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

It turned out that five million Magical Stones was considered cheap.

A while later, a new message appeared. “You don’t even have five million Magical Stones? Forget it, one Magical Stone can get you 500 normal Bluetooth earpieces.”

Wei Huo bought 500 Bluetooth earpieces and took out his black helmet. “Do you know how to manufacture this helmet?”

A question mark suddenly appeared on the screen, followed by a funny face waving its hand and shaking its head. A line appeared on the screen. “I can’t scan anything that the scanner can’t scan. I can only tell you that this helmet is not made of a material that exists in our world. That’s why it can shield the system from detection. Which Awakened Ability’s masterpiece is this? I personally think it can be popularized. This will really speed up the rise of mankind.”

Wei Huo put away his black helmet. “I thought you were the one who taught Ye Yunxiao. It seems like that’s not the case. Ye Yunxiao has already fallen into the vortex. Do you know what’s inside the vortex?”

The screen started scrolling from left to right. “I only know information about the game. I don’t know anything else.”

Wei Huo fell into deep thought. In other words, you don’t know what’s going on in the Void Realm? You don’t even know what a G.o.d Destroyer is?

“I can’t switch on my phone to communicate with you within 480 hours after the time recovery. That’s why I have to tell you some important information within this short span of three hours so that I’m not rendered unable to restart after 480 hours. Firstly, you have to remember that you must not expose your ident.i.ty as an Awakened Player. Otherwise, you will be treated as a bug by System Number One. Because you are an imposing figure, it will not be able to kill you with the Thinking Lock. However, it will send powerful NPCs to hunt you down. Secondly, you can think of ways to increase the number of Awakened Players, but don’t increase it too much. If there are too many Awakened below the level of the imposing aura, they will be of no use. Thirdly, don’t stay in the same place for too long. Don’t pretend to interact with players. However, you have a hidden helmet. This will be very useful to you…”

Wei Huo kept reading attentively without interrupting. Just as System Number Two was about to say something, the screen suddenly changed. “You probably can’t remember everything that I’ve said. How about…”

Wei Huo interrupted it. “I remember everything.”

Not only had Wei Huo’s memory improved, but he’d also gradually started to recall some of his sealed memories. His brain was also operating faster.

An ellipsis appeared on the screen before words appeared again. “As expected of an imposing expert. I’ll continue…”

After saying more than 1,000 words, the screen suddenly changed. “There’s not much time left. The game is about to start. I suggest that you build a traveling caravan after the game starts and deceive the players with some Magical Stones. Magical Stones are very important. You also have to upgrade as soon as possible after the game starts. The Divine Realm and h.e.l.l will open once in every century. The top 1,000 players can enter the game. As far as the Divine Realm is concerned… It seems like you can’t go there anymore. However, you have to go to h.e.l.l. Both the Divine Realm and h.e.l.l were built in the Void Realm. The Void Realm is the best place to build the Awakened Headquarters! Most importantly…”

Before it could finish its sentence, Wei Huo heard an explosion in the sky. Soon, the rain stopped and the sky brightened up. The glow of dawn appeared in the east.

System Number Two turned off automatically without hesitation.

Wei Huo caught the three Rare pieces of equipment just as a voice spoke in his mind.

“Time Recovery!”
