Chapter 3: Relic
After the meal, the father and son were lying side by side on the sofa in the living room. Both of them silently savored the taste of the delicious food. Then, the young man restarted the topic and said in a lazy tone, "Dad, that thing... Oh, a relic, what treasure is it?"
"Well..." The father responded weakly with his nose. After a while, he reluctantly said, "It's a treasure... Maybe for some special people... it can be considered."
"Don't keep me in suspense, okay?" The young man had a speechless expression. He turned to his father and said, "I have nothing to do so that you can tell me in detail."
"Where did you get so much curiosity from..." His father still looked like he was procrastinating, and his lazy tone made one's heart itch.
"That depends on the situation." The young man kicked the ground a little hard and moved his body a little back to prevent himself from sliding off the sofa. Then he continued, "Now is the new era of Earth, and the one who opened the new era is the 'Fantasy Science and Technology'."
After saying that, the young man was silent for a moment, and in his heart, he criticized the company that had endless black technology. Then he said, "You work in the research lab of 'Fantasy Science and Technology'. Isn't it normal for me to have curiosity?"
"This is confidential..."
"Come on, don't be so perfunctory." The young man rolled his eyes and said, "There are indeed many things in your company that have to be kept secret, but this thing has been taken home by you. I don't believe that it will continue to be kept secret."
When his father heard this, he could only helplessly click his tongue. Then, under the young man's gaze, he nodded and said, "The new era began, but three years ago, the world spirit energy on Earth began to revive."
The young man heard this and helplessly said, "Well, the stories of the last era mostly started with the words 'a long time ago'. The stories of the new era now started with your words."
The father ignored the youth's ridicule and continued, "The aura of heaven and earth has revived, and all kinds of ability users have begun to awaken. Their abilities are varied..."
"Yes, just like the mysterious and unknown creator of your fantasy technology, he has definitely awakened the ability to cross over!" The young man seemed to laugh as he continued, "Otherwise, how could your 'fantasy technology' have so many black technologies, and they are all the same technology as the movies in the last era..."
"Do you still want to listen?" His father finally couldn't take it anymore and interrupted the young man's ridicule.
"Go ahead, go ahead." The young man shrugged and said with a flattering smile.
"I say... where are we talking about?" His father's train of thought was successfully interrupted. He raised his hand and scratched his head, "Forget it. Anyway, the thing I brought back today is something that can make people transmigrate. That's it."
"I... have a stomach full of complaints..." The young man was speechless.
"Alright, have you satisfied your curiosity?" His father intended to change the topic. "You will be an adult tomorrow. Have you finished filling in your files? Also, aren't you going to take the' Universe Exploration Certificate'? I will fill in your family relationship and social relationship."
"What... you are done?" The teenager widened his eyes and said with a ridiculous face, "That's it? Just one thing is enough to make people transmigrate? There must be something in it! Dad, don't think about perfunctory me!"
"Nonsense... Okay, okay, I'll talk!" His father saw that his son was not going to give up, so he could only helplessly say: "That thing is useless to you."
"Hurry up and say it! Whether it is useful or not, let's not talk about it first, but Dad, if you keep people in suspense like this, it will be too bad!" The young man raised his voice: "Otherwise, I will send a message to mother! I will tell her that you are looking for a mistress at home!"
"Go on, just send the message!" His father muttered in a low voice without any dignity, "Besides, New Era has canceled the rule of one husband and one wife..."
"How dare you say that to Mom?" The young man straightened his neck, raised his voice, and his face was full of threat and ridicule. He almost wrote the words 'You - You -- You.'
"Tsk... Alright, alright, I'll speak! I've already explained everything to you, alright?" His father was terrified. He raised his hand and scratched the top of his head. He organized his words and said, "That thing is a dead relic of a supernatural being. That supernatural being awakened the ability to cross over, but his life is not good. After crossing over, he only returned with a corpse... Butler, give me an interface."
"Yes, sir."
As the response sounded, the personal AI butler belonging to his father opened a virtual screen and appeared in front of the father and son.
His father raised his hand and opened the internal website of 'Fantasy Science and Technology' without any concealment. He typed in layers of passwords and several secret messages to confirm. After the human face and fingerprint scan, he opened a very simple web page.
"What is this?" The young man did not understand why his father opened such a simple web page in the end, and he could not help but ask curiously.
"This web page is bound to the traverse ability of the ability user." His father pointed to the five novel documents on the web page and said, "After the ability user awakened, a second rank Rubik's Cube appeared."
When the youth heard this, his gaze couldn't help but shift to the small box placed on the coffee table.
"The Rubik's Cube has six sides and six colors. Each color corresponds to a different world system." His father's introduction continued, "The transmigrator has restored the color of the Rubik's Cube. After transmigration, it will be a world of cultivation systems."
As his father spoke, he opened the first novel file on the web page. He raised his chin slightly and gestured to the youth.
The young man pulled closer to the virtual screen and found that the file was only the beginning of a novel. He continued to read it in a puzzled manner, and some thoughts quickly appeared in his mind.
Thus, the young man continued to open the second novel document. After quickly reading it, he opened the third one...
After quickly reading the three novel documents with an average of fewer than 10,000 words, the expression on the young man's face changed from a slight doubt at the beginning to a smile that was now distorted.
"Everyone in our research room had the same expression as you now," His father said as if he had expected this.
The youth's expression twisted even more when he heard this. He hesitated and said, "This, he, they... hahahahaha-"
Before he finished speaking, the young man suddenly burst into laughter.
His father had obviously expected this. Ignoring his son, who was laughing so hard that he was about to slide off the sofa, he leisurely picked up the cup on the coffee table and drank some water...
