My Idle System-Chapter 348: Universe (1) (Unedited)

What would the results then be?

Christian could feel his blood boil only at the thought.

An army of battle androids… it was really a sight he looked forward to see.

Either way, that's not the only things he needed to work on.

He also naturally needed to address the security issue even further, as he can't have his going to be idle weapon factory, be under the risk of someone plundering it.

And if he still has time, even after he did all of that?

Then, maybe he could also give some upgrades to Beta.

…....…

In the workshop, where metal parts clanked as they were fitted into place. A welding torch sparked, lighting up the corner with short bursts. Motors hummed, tools buzzed, and cooling fans ran steady in the background.

The machines were working, and so was the silent Beta and Shae.

Walking through, this scene leisurely, was Anastasia.

Are they not getting along even after all this time?

In boredom, when Christian seemed to start taking things more easy… no, started slacking on his work more appropriate, she seemed to wonder about all kind of useless things.

She deliberated, if she should go back to her spot in the forging room, instead of staying here, when Christian yawning suddenly appeared.

Did she actually make the wrong decision of trying to make him, her disciple?

She seemed to wonder as she looked at how disheveled and unkempt Christian was.

If he were to be in this shape due to the pressure of training, or the work, and how busy, he was… that would be one thing, but, he was like this, when he barely worked, after all.

Shaking her head, Anastasia looked at Christian who arrived before her more closely.

He greeted her with "Good Morning" brightly, and that all it seemed to take, for her to forget the previous topic.

"What good morning? It's already evening!" She chided him sternly, but Christian simply laughed at that, and brushed it with another topic.

She sighed at that, and didn't have it in her, to nag more and simple went along. After all, the time when she will get his answer, was nearing. And it was not late to correct his habits then.

Now, she was merely a guest here, but then… she will become something more.

So, she could only hope, that he finish developing this ability quickly, so, she could finally be done from this vague position.

By then, which gift from the ones she gathered should she give him? Or should she simply give them all immediately to him?

Anastasia wondered as she continued talking with Christian.

Meanwhile, she could also feel, the subtle movement of the essence in the air, and his intention to try his ability on her.

Was it something new?

No, he has been trying to use it on her, since the day, he started developing it.

So, she should have gotten used to it. But… she still couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Could you have not simply trusted me, instead of developing something useless that could differentiate a lie from truth? And do you think I have not noticed?

She had long since wanted to ask him these questions and more.

In the end, she didn't, and left him, to do what he want. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Hid distrust, his fears, and his insecurities as someone weak, while she couldn't empathize with that… she could still understand it somewhat.

Nevertheless, it still felt irritating being doubted. So, how should she punish him, to vent herself?

Anastasia contemplated seriously, but, not having it in herself, to give him a painful punishment, she found it hard to find some suitable one.

That's until, Christian's hand moved toward her, and started ruffling her hair.

At some point in time, she even stopped bothering with reprimanding him, and he just seemed to not care about boundaries more more and more.

Now, seemingly waiting for the moment, when he could take advantage of her with his dishonest and cheeky hands.

Anastasia's eyes twinkled, as she felt like this was the answer.

No, it has to be this one!

Looking at the changes in Anastasia's expression, subtle, but still noticeable to the now him, and not knowing her thoughts, Christian smiling and ruffling her silky hair, wondered what was going on with her for a moment.

He moved his hand, and pinched her soft cheek playfully, as he asked, "Is something wrong?"

Anastasia only made an adorable and cute expression, her eyes each with different beautiful color looked at him intently, but, she didn't give an answer, and simply shook her head.

And seeing her brushing over his question, Christian shrugged and moved on to another topic, "You know? I have been curious for sometime now… but, could you explain about the evolution thing of the earth? The power systems, and the universe in general?"

Did he not know the answer for these questions? No, he knew… well, mostly knew about them.

But, for example while he knew since long ago, that the Earth was going to evolve eventually, and changes were going to happen, he didn't about the First Sign.

It was only after it happened, that he came to know about it, and through Olivia he learned more.

Then, there's the power systems.

He knew about all kind of ones now, and there seemed to be countless…

What difference between them?

He also knew that, as each seemed to concentrate on one thing… or like one aspect.

Then, there's the universe.

There are countless worlds, that something, he was certain of.

They were not the only people that lived in this wide and vast galaxy.

There were countless powerhouses, and factions… and there were many things needs to be said, if he were to start with this topic.

But, all these information were taken from weak outsiders, or the ancient families and the government worldwide, that were cooperating with the said weak outsiders.

So, how would someone strong… truly strong like Anastasia explain them?

Christian was quite curious.
