I am weak and friendly

Chapter 130 Clean and hygienic, nutritious and delicious

After the torrential rain, the night in the hospital ward was exceptionally quiet.

In Tang Yiping's hospital room, there was only the sound of banging and tapping.

Once Tang Yiping is immersed in programming, he loses track of time.

There may be many storms and trials outside, but at this moment, all of that has nothing to do with Tang Yiping.

Lines of code flowed from his fingertips.

Occasionally, he would stop and look at the [unknown structure fragments] floating around him.

This thing is clearly a complex structure, but in his eyes, it slowly turned into a kind of flowing code.

He observed it, deconstructed it, and then copied it.

This made him start to wonder what this thing was.

In fact, this kind of thinking had already begun when Tang Yiping came into contact with the "weak".

The "weak" seem to represent a special rule, but it is not entirely a rule; rather, it is more like... a phenomenon.

When Tang Yiping first found the [Stacking Insect], he didn't pay much attention to it. But when he encountered the [Entangled Thread Body], he had some ideas.

However, the appearance of the [Stress Swarm] allowed him to actually summarize the patterns.

【Stacking insects】【Thread-entangled organisms】【Stress swarms】all represent a common phenomenon.

【Stacked Bugs】is a bug that stacks on top of another bug and still runs normally; 【Tangled Cable】is an earphone cable or other cable that keeps getting tangled up; 【Stress Swarm】is a bug that malfunctions but can be fixed by slapping it a few times.

These things can be explained by modern science, but... it seems difficult to fully explain them.

Sometimes they are attributed to "probability", "chaotic systems" or even "mysticism".

But if these everyday phenomena are all caused by these things, then...

Does every common metaphysical concept hide a vulnerable individual?
Does that mean that such things are actually everywhere on Earth, but they are... invisible?

If these everyday phenomena are caused by them, then what about the laws of physics?
Where should we place the physical laws that have driven humanity to develop current technology?
Tang Yiping couldn't understand it.

Could it be that the physical laws, various kinds of knowledge, and even science itself that modern humans are so proud of are nothing more than another version of a flat earth?
What's even more interesting is why the system refers to them as "the weak".
If they control the laws of physics and the underlying workings of the world...

They should actually be very powerful.

This [unknown structure fragment] was not labeled as a [weak] by the system, just like the [unknown qubit] he had seen before.

It is indeed different from the "weak".

It's less like life and more like some kind of man-made object.

Because Tang Yiping could sense, and even see, that it clearly pointed to something more specific.

Call it a law, a pattern, or something else...

It is actually a kind of algorithm.

This is how Tang Yiping understands it.

This is also Tang Yiping's most unique way of deconstructing the world.

As Tang Yiping deconstructed it, the [unknown structure fragment] began to tremble, as if it were fearing something.

It tried to escape several times, but was forced back by the suddenly spreading "flying mosquitoes"-like [Entangled Entities]. The charging cable, broken into two pieces, coiled around the small table by Tang Yiping's hospital bed. The [Unknown Structure Fragment] trembled in fear, and the shockwaves from the back-and-forth vibrations caused its square structure to collide with each other, creating tiny ripples that spread to infinity and slowly melted into the air.

It sounded like a lament and a mournful cry.

Amidst its mournful cries, Tang Yiping finished typing the last piece of code.

He knew what it was.

This is a pattern extraction program that can compress massive amounts of information and then extract a stable pattern.

Strangely, this "fragment" is not something like "plunder" or "devouring".

Is it pattern extraction?
What use is this thing?
Tang Yiping pinched his chin.

Beside him, the broken [Entangled Body] gently wrapped around his wrist, conveying some kind of message to him.

"Oh, I'm done. This thing is useless now. What do you want to do with it?" Tang Yiping asked [Entangled Body].

The broken charging cable had several internal cables suddenly spread out, resembling the gaping mouth of a lamprey, and then...

He pounced suddenly!

"Squeak squeak squeak..." The [unknown structure fragment] struggled, but was devoured and consumed...

Its mournful cries were desperately trying to be heard, but received no response.

There might be a response, but it would be meaningless.

Tang Yiping grimaced as he watched.

Although the system said that the [Entangled Body] was [weak], Tang Yiping still felt...

This guy isn't weak either!

That's ridiculously strong!

Tang Yiping believes that the "entangled body" has gone further and further down the wrong path.

After the Entangled Entity swallowed the last block, the system prompted:

—Your symbiotic weakling [Entangled Entity] has consumed [Unknown Structure Fragment], learning a new A-rank survival skill [Extraction]. Current rank: C.

——【Extraction】: How can this be called stealing? It's clearly extraction! Under certain conditions, you can get something from the target, but once you reach out, you have to accept it, whether it's good or bad.

Huh? Oh, right.

Almost forgot, the symbiotic "weaklings" can also share some of the abilities in the "Weakling Survival Guide" and can also learn skills.

The Entangled Body actually comes with the Entangled skill, which is why Lux wanted to find it.

Now, my [Entangled Body] comes with two skills?

Entanglement and extraction?
Even if you don't have your own tangled body, you can still change jobs.

If the entangled entity changes jobs before me, then who's the boss?
Tang Yiping fell into deep thought.

But after a moment, he decided...

Don't think about it anymore, go to sleep!

It was already 3 a.m., and Tang Yiping felt that as a patient, he couldn't stay up any longer!

Lying in bed, Tang Yiping's mind was in turmoil. In addition, staying up until three or four in the morning made him more excited and he just couldn't fall asleep.

no solution anymore.

[Last Stand], activate!

While Tang Yiping was swallowed by darkness, in another ward not far from his, Luo Nian'an was lying by the bedside, secretly crying.

The elderly woman fell asleep in her hospital bed. The doctor said she was out of danger for the time being, but had temporarily lost the ability to move and could only stay in bed.

He had no idea what would happen next or when he would recover.

Luo Nian'an had no idea either.

During the day, Luo Nian'an tried her best to appear strong, but now that it was late at night, she couldn't hold back anymore.

She didn't know how she was going to live or how she was going to take care of her grandmother.

However, there was no one else at home.

She has no father, no mother, she only has her grandmother.

She must take responsibility.

Suddenly, her grandmother's phone lit up beside her, and a message popped up:
“Xin Xin, add me, I’m your dad.”

"Who are you? My dad died a long time ago! Are you dead too? You're the one who says you're my dad? I'm your dad!"

"Xin Xin, don't cry..."

"Nonsense? Who said I cried? Did you frame me? You were spying on me?" Luo Nian'an wiped away her tears, saw the words, and immediately became aggressive again.

The other person requested to add me as a friend again, and this time, they sent me a picture.

It was in a hospital room. A baby was lying on its side in a crib. A man was sitting on the floor with his back to the camera, just watching the baby.

His expression is not visible in the photo; soft light shines in from the window, illuminating the baby and his father.

It's like it's glowing.
