Where is the third collapse? ! !

For him, who had just been reborn, as soon as he closed his eyes, everything he had experienced before his death would replay in his mind like a video with the loop button pressed:

It was a theater of domination filled with a dark purple ominous aura. The puppets' explicit, inhuman screams rose one after another. The blasphemous Buddhist chants disguised themselves as well-intentioned charity and caring care, bewitching and persuading those with weak wills to do mistakes that would make them regret for the rest of their lives.

Flowing on the ground was pitch-black pus. The mob hanging high in the filthy sky manipulated vicious poisonous threads made of all kinds of evil and immorality. They howled, corroded, and surged towards the white-haired girl who was staggering with the crimson broken sword in her hand, determined to dye her the color of destruction.

Then, there was the eternally burning fire that cut through the endless darkness and despair, the sapphire cross-star eyes that revealed strong reluctance and deep apology, and the intense pain when the greatsword pierced through the chest and the flames burned the heart.

"I still won after all."

Fu Li, whose memory was interrupted at this point, opened his bloodshot eyes, put the back of his hand on his forehead, and let out a complex smile that was hard to describe.

"Back to three years ago..."

There was something hard to describe in his tone, but overall he was mostly relieved.

Unless it's a trick like the brain in a vat or a super-large illusion, Fu Li, who died in the tenth collapse, was indeed reborn as his own self in 2014 AD.

If you think about it carefully, before he died, he had broken through to above A-level, a critical level that was only one step away from the legendary S-level. Even if someone really wanted to cast a large-scale illusion on him, the probability of him not being able to see through the illusion was very low.

This is not to say that no one has the ability, but there is no need to waste this resource.

He is a loser who has worked hard for two and a half years to reach the critical point, and he doesn't have any keys to the treasure trove of forbidden knowledge in his head. Why do S-level strongmen have to spend so much effort on these things? Do they have nothing to do or are they bored?

As for being sent back from the future by a giant who can reverse the entire timeline in one breath... well, putting aside whether we encountered such a potential stock last week, should we consider the possibility of a brain in a vat or a super-large illusion?

"Anyway, it's a good death."

The habit he developed during his mercenary days made Fu Li, who was lost in thought, instinctively reach for his waist. When he grasped nothing, he realized that there were no two long swords shining with cold light hanging there.

He focused his scattered pupils, raised his eyebrows and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment in front of him:

The small room, which is just over ten square meters, has neither a living room nor a bedroom. Even the washing and toilet facilities are shared in the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

The same is true for all the rooms from No. 202 onwards. Room 201 next door is a rare and exquisitely decorated room with its own bathroom. Unfortunately, Fu Li, who had the opportunity to move in at that time, gave it away without authorization to the white-haired girl who lives there now.

The older boy curled his lips when he recalled this part, and walked to the table and chairs in front of the window.

The low-quality wooden table bought from a second-hand market gave off an unpleasant smell, and the old laptop on it hummed.

On the 17-inch LCD screen is a WPS file that has been half-edited and not yet saved, symbolizing the tragic reality that the owner fell asleep in the middle of writing last night.

Fu Li opened his palm, clenched it, and then unclenched it.

Feeling the emptiness in his body, he thought to himself:

The body is in a sub-healthy state, and there are nutritional deficiencies, an unbalanced mentality, and the aftereffects of part-time jobs besides school. It seems that this rebirth has not brought back anything other than memories.

As if God was deliberately slapping him in the face, as soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice with a hint of milk sounded in his mind.

"Detected the holder's awakening of the super-mutation factor, Control Key 0017 automatically activated."

"Scanning the current status of the owner..."

"Due to the holder's current low combat power level, in accordance with Article 171 of the 'Fire Moth Fusion Warrior Management Regulations', the Final Assistant Personal Assistance Module is loading—"

"Does the owner allow the AI ​​Prometheus to read his memories?"

Fu Li did not agree immediately, but asked: "Must read?"

"According to the regulations, the holder of the Key of Domination has the power to deny Prometheus's proposal."

I was just testing the waters, but they can actually negotiate terms...

"Then don't read it yet."

"Hint: The inability to read memories will make Prometheus unable to make reasonable suggestions to the holder. Are you sure?"

"If you don't understand, just ask. If you only scan the body without scanning the memory, can you make reasonable suggestions?"

"......feasible."

"That's it."

"Understood, the remaining modules are loading——"

Fu Li is now feeling mixed emotions. He is happy because at this level, he doesn't think there will be any technological or tough jobs where a big store will bully the owner and easily kill him if he fails in the entire mission.

What worries me is that this terminal assistant system is probably just a beta test version, and it can't lead me to soar to the sky like Fei Lu's brainless and exciting article.

It's so funny. If the character is invincible from the beginning in the novel, it will indeed lose most of the fun.

However, if it is converted into reality, who doesn't want me to be invincible and you to be beautiful alone?

While Fuli was thinking, Domination Key 0017 completed loading the remaining modules.

"The terminal assistant module has been loaded. Prometheus 0017 is at your service."

As the words fell, what appeared on Fu Li's retina was a cute girl with an expressionless face, made up of light blue light.

A short gray windbreaker and nylon skirt that mixes military and cyberpunk styles, with two spiral ponytails tied behind the head with metal hair accessories.

The joints of the limbs were connected by doll-like splicing, the face was blurry, and the only thing that could be seen clearly were the inorganic eyes emitting a scarlet halo.

—Wait, this look? Bronya?

As if noting Fu Li's confusion, the girl calling herself Prometheus explained, "The AI ​​modeling was based on individuals familiar to the host. To avoid cognitive confusion for the host, the face is blurred."

"Interpersonal relationships?"

"Prometheus did not violate the rules by reading the host's memories. Its assessment of the host's interpersonal relationships primarily relied on the macro-environmental data recorded within the Key of Domination."

It is said that talking to smart people is comfortable. Fu Li just raised his voice, and the little AI had already read the potential meaning in his words.

Chapter 3 "Final Assistant 0017"

To understand the origins of the End Assistant System and Prometheus, the first thing to explain is the concept of Honkai energy.

Honkai energy is a general energy that exists widely in space and is caused by a conceptual phenomenon called "Honkai".

To compare it to novels about cultivating immortals, it is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; to use fantasy novels to describe it, it is magical spell power.

In fact, the term "Honkai Energy" was not fully unified until modern times.

In the ancient times of the planet, whether it was the true qi and inner force of Shenzhou, the chakra of India or the magic power of the West, these were the names given to it by people in different regions.

And because the collapse has the characteristic of coexisting with civilization, many researchers speculate that the collapse is actually a way for higher beings to test human civilization.

Of course, some people think that it is just a natural disaster phenomenon, which is just different from the manifestation of natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes.

Let’s put aside the theory of the origin of the collapse, which has not yet been determined by the academic community (but is well known to all readers). As a phenomenon that accompanies civilization, it is naturally impossible that only today’s society can enjoy the great shortcomings and virtues of the collapse.

For example, pre-civilization.

Yes, just like the well-known "Ultraman Tiga", the planet under Fuli's feet is home to a super ancient civilization.

Compared to the distant 30 million years ago in Tiga's world view, the pre-civilization era of the Collapse World is only more than 50,000 years ago.

The Terminal Assistant System that is now bound to Fu Li is a powerful technological product created by that civilization.

Its original form was not what it is now, but rather a three-foot-long ancient golden sword—Key of Domination, No. 0017.

Before his rebirth, Fu Li obtained it during an expedition, and since then, he has been using it as his backup weapon.

Why is it a backup and not a primary one?

Because this thing is too fragile.

It's fine when you're chopping people and bullying weaklings, but once you chop a unit with strong armor, the ancient and majestic golden sword will create a gap for you on the spot, and another chop will turn you into a powerful ice breaker.

Then you may ask, the former is fine, but as for the latter, how did Fu Li know?

The answer is simple. Before his rebirth, he used this thing as a spare dagger.

A spare dagger, originally three feet long but now one foot long.

These are all lessons learned through blood and tears.

Recalling this, Fu Li finally couldn't help but gasp in amazement. "No wonder I always feel that the Golden Sword's strength doesn't match its status as a super-ancient divine weapon. Maybe I opened it the wrong way?"

"That's right."

The twin-turbo girl that appeared on Fu Li's retina nodded slowly based on pixels.

"The Control Key 0017 will only activate its internal program upon sensing the awakening of its owner's Hypermutation Factor, evolving into a growth-oriented weapon optimally suited to its owner. Using it crudely as a weapon will not even allow it to penetrate the armor of a Houkai Beast over 30 meters in size."

“Growth-oriented… I feel like I’ve earned something, but I haven’t earned anything at the same time.”

Fu Li had made no money before his rebirth, but after getting his first pot of gold, he felt complicated, but overall he was subtly relieved.

"Because the origins of the End Assistant System are traceable, I feel at ease. The host is really easy to understand."

"That's perfectly normal," Fu Li said frankly as he sat back down on his computer chair. "Put yourself in my shoes. If you, Prometheus, had just been reborn and a strange thing called a system appeared inside your body, wouldn't you be suspicious?"

"I'm glad the host isn't the type of fool who would brazenly assume he's the protagonist just by looking at the system, but I've also taken note of the fact that the host refused to allow a memory scan."

Fu Li hypocritically hooked his fingers, trying to win back the little AI's heart: "You don't have to write this down~"

"By the way, if the End Assistant System really has unknown origins, how does the host plan to deal with it?"

"Just keep calm and counter the opponent's moves. A real man can bend and yield. That's all I can do right now."

He spread his hands. "I can't just say 'I don't trust you' outright, or commit seppuku because some weird thing popped up in my head? What if System-chan really just saw how miserable my past life was and wants to help me become CEO, marry Hifumi, and go crazy?"

"The host is quite... beautiful in appearance."

Prometheus glanced at the delicate face and silently swallowed the word "ugly" back into his stomach.

"People always have to have some hope. What's the difference between having no dreams and being carefree?"

Fu Li lay on his back, staring at the gradually dispersing white mist outside the window. "I just heard you say that the system can only be activated if the holder has awakened the super-mutation factor. So, my super-mutation factor has already awakened, right? Then what is it? Where is it now?"

As a critical level person who is only one step away from becoming an S-class Valkyrie, Fu Li's understanding of the truth of the world far exceeds that of ordinary people living in the sun.

However, because he has never joined a super-large force like the Destiny Anti-Entropy World Snake, he is a lone brave man with high emotional intelligence and a lone dog with low emotional intelligence, so he is mostly in the dark about deeper things.

Some people may think this is outrageous, but just like 90% of people don’t know the names of their mayor and municipal party secretary without searching on Baidu, the information cocoon is real.

The unilateral blocking of information from the lower classes is an important tool used by those in power to control the situation. This is the case in real society, and the situation is naturally even worse on the side of collapse where information is even more opaque.

Of course, Fu Li couldn't say anything bad about others.

Nowadays, he also has some valuable information in his hands that is enough to enable countless people to achieve a class leap. He will definitely not be happy if you ask him to share it.

If you have the ability, you can be reborn too!

Chapter 4: "Goal! Develop a powerful feature that automatically fills in the attribute panel!"

"The super-mutation factor in the host is still dormant."

"Ok?"

Fu Li, who was stuffing canned beef into his mouth to replenish his nutrition and planning his next course of action, was stunned.

Prometheus continued, "The super-mutator is a latent inheritance within the DNA (harmony) fragment. Theoretically, every modern civilized human can awaken by chance, just as the host did before his rebirth."

The key point is before rebirth.

Since it is based on genes, Fu Li, who was reborn and is now just an ordinary person, certainly does not meet the conditions in this regard.

"The Key of Domination, having detected this, should have remained dormant."

Having said that, the little girl slowly glanced at her host.

After noticing he showed no sign of nervousness, he continued his explanation expressionlessly, "Because the Domination Key had already registered 'Fu Li', who had awakened the Super Mutation Factor, as the highest authority before its rebirth, after various considerations, the Domination Key, now without its carrier, decided to soul-bind with its host. According to the 'Fire Moth Fusion Warrior Management Regulations', it has been transformed into the current Terminal Assistant System."

In short, it is bound before death and activated after rebirth.

"In addition, due to the strong binding between the system itself and the super-mutation factor, the super-mutation factor awakened by the host before rebirth has also been absorbed by the system and turned into a part of its own auxiliary functions."

"That's great! Last week's awakening wasn't wasted, and I can still awaken this week." Fu Li said cheerfully, "So, as a legendary system, what functions do you have, Prometheus?"

There is a saying in the novel world: Locals are not as good as time travelers, and time travelers are not as good as those who are reborn.

The memory of the future is the only magic weapon that the reborn rely on to move around, and the arrival of the End-of-the-World Assistant System can be said to be the icing on the cake.

If it weren't for the wrong timing, Fu Li would have wanted to raise his hands and shout, "Take off, take off! What a wonderful start!"

Don't ask! A real man pops champagne at halftime! How can a duck lose when he's facing off?!

Then a virtual light screen appeared in front of Fu Li's eyes, which only he could see.

Real name: Fu Li

Resident: N/A
