Chapter 2: The Chip

  "What's this???"

  Listening to the mechanical voice in his mind, Lei Lin's pupils suddenly dilated.

  "Isn't this the auxiliary chip that used to be in my brain? How could it come through with me? This isn't scientific!!!"

  Lei Lin found it hard to believe, and then spoke in his mind: "Chip! Scan my brain, look for the location of the auxiliary system!"

  "Beep! Scan complete! No foreign objects detected in the main brain!"

  In an instant, the chip's mechanical voice sounded.

  "Then scan the whole body and display the physical data as well!"

  Another round of mechanical sounds followed.

  "Beep! Scan complete!"

  "Fang Ming (Lei Lin·Farell) Strength: 0.4 Agility: 0.5 Constitution: 0.4 Status: Intracranial hemorrhage, multiple soft tissue injuries."

  "No chip detected in the main body!"

  In front of Lei Lin, a three-dimensional graphic appeared, depicting Lei Lin's own body, with data indicated on the side.

  "No chip? I said, the chip is a substance, how could it follow the soul through? Looks like during the explosion or the process of crossing over, there was a mutation, and the function of the chip fused with my soul…"

  "If I were still in the previous world, this would be a major discovery! Not only does it prove the existence of the soul, but it also reveals the possibility of transformation between matter and soul! This would definitely drive those old fellows at the National Academy of Sciences crazy, but unfortunately, they'll never see it!"

  This type of chip was essential for scientists in the previous life. Due to human rights and mental issues, there was no intelligence present, and it served only two functions, which were analysis and storage.

  The analysis function could collect data samples and conduct simulations based on the main body's commands.

  The storage function was even simpler, capable of recording all the data experienced by the main body's senses. According to calculations from the previous life, this type of chip's storage area could record everything that happened over thousands of years.

  "Why did the chip merge with the soul? That kind of question can only be thought about later when I have the ability and conditions! But with the chip, I have some capital in this world!"

  A brilliant smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Lei Lin's mouth. He deeply understood that in this still medieval era, having the crystallization of future technology, his future path would surely not be ordinary!!!

  "However! This Lei Lin's constitution is really…" Looking at the data before him, Lei Lin was speechless again.

  This is based on the physiological indicators of an adult as a standard. Theoretically, the indicators of a normal adult should all be around 1. Although Lei Lin was only thirteen or fourteen years old, the data was still too low.

  "Hmm? No, it may not be that this world’s humans are generally weaker! Chip, scan the physical data of a few people around!"

  "Beep! Task established! Starting to collect data!"

  Almost instantly, a three-dimensional image of several people's bodies appeared in front of Lei Lin, marked with data around them.

  "Name unknown, Gender: Male Strength: 0.9 Agility: 1.1 Constitution: 0.8"

  "Name unknown, Gender: Male Strength: 1.2 Agility: 0.9 Constitution: 1.0"

  "Name unknown, Gender: Female Strength: 0.8 Agility: 1.2 Constitution: 0.7"

  "Okay! It seems that the physique of humans in this world is generally stronger than that of humans in the future world; this Lei Lin is even weaker than a girl... I feel embarrassed for him..."

  Lei Lin glanced around; they were all about the same age as him, especially a girl who looked delicate and weak, and even when Lei Lin was a few streets ahead, he was completely hopeless.

  "Now it seems that this Lei Lin is just a lazy, gluttonous, lecherous waste!"

  "Name unknown, Gender: Male Strength: 3.3 Agility: 2.5 Constitution: 3.2 Warning! Warning! This creature is too dangerous; it is recommended that the main body immediately stay away by over one thousand meters!!!"

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

  The red alarm flashed three times, leaving Lei Lin in shock.

  "An average data of 3.0!" Lei Lin thought, scanning a few more times to confirm the chip was not malfunctioning, and he was left speechless.

  "Even world champions can't reach this standard; in the previous life, this person could wear underwear on the outside and pretend to be Superman!"

  As a scientist, Lei Lin knew very well that a constitution of 3.2 represented this person's resistance to impact, virus resistance, and recovery speed, all being more than three times that of an average person!!!

  Each physical indicator is more than three times that of an average person, which isn't just simple addition; what does that mean?

  It means that this person can barehandedly defeat dozens, even over a hundred opponents; in the previous life, they would be a little superhero!

  "I'm afraid only biochemicals modified through genetic engineering in a laboratory could have such data, and even that would only apply to one aspect! This world is indeed not simple!"

  Lei Lin thought to himself and glanced at the person with such terrifying strength.

  That was the man in black responsible for distributing food, of middle age, with a scar running from his forehead to his lip, almost cutting his face in half, looking very fierce.

  The spotted boy from earlier was scared by him.

  "This is the academy servant responsible for receiving us. It is said that he is not even a wizard, and yet he is so terrifying; what must a real wizard be like?"

  Lei Lin suddenly found himself filled with strong interest and curiosity about the profession of wizard, wanting nothing more than to go to the academy right now to explore.

  The line was short; soon it was Lei Lin's turn, and the man in black handed a piece of white bread and some juice to Lei Lin, then waved his hand with an impatient expression without saying a word.

  If it were the previous Lei Lin, even if he was not at home and didn’t dare to drag the person out and whip them a few times, his face would not look good and would even curse a couple of times.

  But the current Lei Lin would naturally not be so foolish. Following his memory, he slightly performed a noble salute: "Thank you! Sir!"

  The man in black remained expressionless, watching Lei Lin turn to leave.

  "Eh! I didn't expect this Lei Lin to actually look like a noble when he salutes!" The two boys following behind couldn’t help but whisper.

  "Hurry up and catch up!" The voice of the scar-faced man suddenly exploded in the ears of these two.

  The enormous sound even scared a boy so much he sat down on the ground.

  Lei Lin didn’t care about the discussions behind; looking at the cold and indifferent gazes around, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Alright! I really am an unpopular person!"

  Seeing George, he quickly turned his head away, his hands behind his back making gestures as a signal.

  "Uh! Alright! I won't expose you this time for the sake of the medicine!" Lei Lin sighed, finding a relatively secluded spot, and without caring about whether there was a carpet or not, he sat down and began to eat.

  "This truffle white bread is still not as delicious as in my previous life! But in Lei Lin's memory, it was already food reserved for festivals!"

  While eating, Lei Lin thought.

  According to Lei Lin's memory, the productivity of this world is still very low; white bread is a food for nobles, generally only enjoyed by minor nobles during grand celebrations.

  For ordinary farmers, hard and nutritionally devoid black bread is the ultimate delicacy.

  Thinking of the black bread he saw in his memories, which could be as hard as stone, Lei Lin sighed: "Fortunately, fortunes have smiled upon me; whether noble or wizard, they are part of the upper class in this world, so I don't have to suffer!"

  After wolfing down the bread and finishing the juice, Lei Lin wiped his mouth in satisfaction and returned to the cart.

  Based on past experience, noble youths usually set up tents at the camps, rest for a night before setting off, but clearly, no one would invite Lei Lin; he himself didn’t bring a tent, so he ended up sleeping on the cold and hard cart!

  "I just took a quick look earlier; there are over fifty apprentices, twenty-five in black robes, and the highest-ranking three in white robes!"

  Recalling how he was noticed from a distance, Lei Lin still felt a chill run down his spine.

  Especially with the chip's reminders: "Unknown radiation source detected!" "Interference from an unknown force field detected, unable to scan!"

  This only thickened the shadow over Lei Lin's heart!

  "It seems that even with a chip! I'm still a weakling in this world! However, precisely because of this, it makes me yearn for the power of wizards even more!"

  A fire seemed to ignite in Lei Lin's eyes.

  "I should go to sleep early! We have to hit the road tomorrow!"

  Lei Lin took off his coat, threw it on the ground, making himself a little more comfortable for sleep.

  "Three months have passed since we started the journey, crossing over a dozen kingdoms, and we still haven't reached the destination; the ancient transportation conditions are truly..."

  Closing his eyes, drifting off, he didn't know how much time had passed when the cart door suddenly "bang" opened.

  Lei Lin sat up suddenly and immediately caught a whiff of the fragrance of roses.

  The sweet scent was very pleasant and stirred something within his body, awakening his memories.

  "Lei... Lei Lin! Are you alright?" A pleasant female voice floated in.

  "Is it Beista? Come in!" Lei Lin stepped aside.

  The floral fragrance inside the cart suddenly became denser, followed by the arrival of a beautiful girl.

  With fair skin, wearing only a red bodysuit, and a black hairpin in her hair.

  What made Lei Lin remember her even more was the girl's platinum hair, and ruby-like eyes coupled with a beautiful face, making her look very stunning.

  This was the girl who had caused Lei Lin to suffer a beating and subsequently meet her demise, Beista!

  "May I ask what is the matter?" Although this girl had developed well and looked nice, for Fang Ming, who had come from another world and had already experienced a storm of violence, she was just slightly pretty.

  The demeanor showed was cold and indifferent.

  It was obvious that such an attitude surprised the girl across from her, and the words she had originally prepared could not come out.

  After a long silence, she finally fished out a small glass vial from her bosom and placed it in Lei Lin's hand: "This... this is a healing potion, just apply it on your body! I'm... I'm sorry!"

  The girl bent once more as she offered the medicine, touching Lei Lin's heart.
