I am weak and friendly

Chapter 129 Miracles Happen with Great Force, [Stress Swarm]

The charging cable, broken in two, ended up on Tang Yiping's hospital bed.

Tang Yiping discovered that his [Entangled Body] was somewhat different from Lux's.

Lux's tangled form doesn't seem to be able to leave her hair. Her own tangled form, while enjoying residing in this charging cable, can temporarily leave and reside in other cables or similar things.

Tang Yiping suspected that it didn't actually have any restrictions on where it could live, and that the reason it was willing to stay in that charging cable was simply because of the very unreliable reason that "this is the cable that Pingzi touched..."

The charging cable climbed up the side of the bed, and Tang Yiping felt... in his eyes, there were countless thin threads flying around like floaters, which made him blink several times before he realized that this was not floaters.

There are more entangled bodies now.

Or rather, they became stronger.

The entangled organisms, also known as "tangled worms," ​​seem to be difficult to distinguish between individuals and groups.

The floaters, resembling mosquitoes, gathered in front of Tang Yiping and then dispersed.

A completely different "being" appeared before Tang Yiping.

Before this, Tang Yiping had only seen two different types of "weak beings": the "Stacked Worm" and the "Entangled Body," as well as an "Unknown Quantum Bit" whose identity as a "weak being" was unknown.

These three things have one thing in common: they are all very "small".

【Entangled Body】is like the extremely fine, seemingly non-existent filaments that Tang Yiping is currently seeing, similar to the "floaters"; 【Twisted Insect】gives one the feeling of tiny insects twisting on characters.

The thing in front of us looks like a complete, complex structure.

It's like countless sharp squares of all sizes flying in the air, operating according to some strange pattern.

The moment it was released, it seemed to want to rush towards Tang Yiping, but the swarm of mosquitoes blocked it.

With a "whoosh," it instantly cowered and shrank into a series of nested squares.

At the very center that Tang Yiping could see was a square smaller than the tip of a needle.

Then, each layer is scaled up proportionally and nested within the others. Occasionally, a certain level in the middle rotates or expands, creating a wave that propagates outwards and inwards.

It fades further outwards until it completely dissolves into the air.

Tang Yiping had no doubt that there was a square at its center that was much smaller than the tip of a needle, but it was just not visible.

It's as if it has no boundaries, whether on a macro or micro scale.

This thing is... the thing that's being transported in the truck?
Tang Yiping always felt that this thing was "evil," and when it first appeared, it also gave people a sharp and dangerous feeling.

But at this moment, it is unexpectedly beautiful, with a unique beauty of "order" and "regulation", like a geometric shape generated by some kind of formula calculation.

Especially when it rotates to one side, all the squares are misaligned in sequence, forming a complex and beautiful snowflake made entirely of squares.

"So beautiful..." Tang Yiping couldn't help but exclaim.

Suddenly, mosquitoes started flying around in front of me.

The tangled creature "gently" wrapped around Tang Yiping's wrist, its broken edges "looking" at Tang Yiping "affectionately".

Uh... I praised the wrong person.

Tang Yiping felt that this guy was pushing his luck.

But... considering how great it is, let's forgive it.

“Of course, my [Entangled Body] looks the best!” Tang Yiping said.

—[Goodwill gesture] successful, [Friendly Beacon] activated

Then the tangled body suddenly twitched and rolled off Tang Yiping's wrist, rolling and struggling on the bed before going still with a thud.

He looked like he was drunk and was saying, "Oh, I can't take it anymore."

Well, she's very yandere, but also very weak.

They're easily satisfied with just a compliment.

Having dealt with the [Entangled Body], Tang Yiping began to carefully observe the [Unknown Structure Fragment] before him.

Tang Yiping admitted that he was attracted to this kind of thing.

He began to subconsciously think about how he would write the program to generate such a graphic.

How would you write a program to simulate its actions?

The workings of this thing, its outward appearance, and so on, made him ponder deeply. It seemed to be inherently related to some kind of law or principle, and as a programmer, Tang Yiping immediately thought of some kind of algorithm.

Suddenly, I really want to write a piece of software.

A lot of code had already begun to run in Tang Yiping's mind.

but……

Damn, my laptop got wet!

Tang Yiping, still somewhat unwilling to give up, patted his notebook hard.

Then, as expected, another puddle of water appeared in the photo.

"Sigh..." Tang Yiping sighed. So it really was time to get a new laptop.

Although I can afford a new laptop now.

But he still really liked the notebook that had been with him for a long time.

And right now I really want to write code!
Just then, the system popped up a notification:
Even the humblest follower yearns to be seen. The "weak" [Stress Swarm] has silently followed you for a long time, and your [friendliness] shines so brightly that it can no longer tolerate it. The [Stress Swarm] has decided to ignore the [Entangled Entity's] death threat, offer its loyalty to you, and accept your enslavement!

—【Stress Swarm】: TV not working? Smash it! Remote not working? Smash it! Refrigerator, air conditioner, washing machine not spinning? Kick it! Critical state is stable state; might makes right! The 【Stress Swarm】always inhabits critical systems, absorbing oscillations, piecing together fragments and unstable states to get the system running again. They are considered imitators of "order" and the last guardians, but is it possible that violence is the answer and the ultimate truth?

—【Stress Worm Swarm】We hope you'll take another picture, more pictures! Keep shooting! Great effort can work wonders!
In Tang Yiping's notebook, several fat, worm-like things appeared.

They look like silkworms, semi-transparent, extremely small, and somewhat cute.

Tang Yiping: "..."

Is this the stress worm swarm?
How long have these guys been living inside my laptop?
In that instant, Tang Yiping suddenly remembered his broken laptop.

He remembers very clearly that after his brother fixed it for him, he said there was still a problem and it might only be usable at a fixed angle, so it was best not to move it.

But later, wherever Tang Yiping took it, it would light up with just a tap.

Two taps at most.

So... the stress swarm was already with him back then?
What is true love?

Stress worm swarm, thank you for your hard work.

Wait a minute, are there other "weaklings" around me, but they're just afraid of the crazy, yandere "Entangled Body" and only dare to silently follow me, not daring to show themselves?
Okay, since you guys like taking pictures so much, I'll take some!
Tang Yiping slapped him across the face.

With a "snap," countless stress insects emitted fine, bright filaments of light, which swam within Tang Yiping's notebook.

Then... at least half of the stress swarm died, turning into a cascading mass of corpses.

Tang Yiping was taken aback, and then he heard these little creatures emit a shrill cry that sounded like cheers.

Tang Yiping felt very clearly that they were expressing something:
One more time! Harder!
Oh well, as long as you like it.

Having learned from his experience with the crickets, Tang Yiping felt that one shouldn't be too concerned about the death of individual insects.

Tang Yiping slapped him hard again.

It's gone, at least half of it is gone...

One more time! Even harder!
Ah this...

Tang Yiping gritted his teeth and started banging away.

In an instant, the corpses of the stress insect swarm flew everywhere.

Then he heard a "hum" sound, the sound of the fan starting up.

"Yay!" came the inaudible cheers.

As the current began to flow through the laptop, the remaining less than one percent of the [Stress Swarm] began to rapidly divide and multiply, one becoming two, two becoming four...

Fine……

Tang Yiping thought, "What kind of cruel selection and evolution is this...?"

But as long as they like it.

Let's begin...writing code!
