I am weak and friendly

Chapter 388 Behind the World
Tang Yiping had no recollection of inviting Charon.

Although Tang Yiping had used Charon's power, he certainly didn't trust Charon, after all, this guy was just his mercenary from the "Dust of Innocence".

There was no revolutionary friendship between him and Tang Yiping.

Was this guy right beside me the whole time? Even Stoca didn't notice? That doesn't make sense. Although most of Stoca's strength was suppressed, his certain perceptive ability was an innate talent that wasn't suppressed. It's unlikely that he wouldn't have noticed someone like Charon.

Oh, no, Stoka wasn't with me before, she just arrived. Or maybe it's because of the special environment here that Stoka didn't notice me?

Thinking this, Tang Yiping asked Stoca, "Stoca, did you notice Charon next to me? When did he get here?"

"Woo-chio-chio?"

Stokka stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.

This guy has been following you around the whole time. Didn't you call him here?
Tang Yiping: "???"

No... So you already knew all along, and you thought I was the one who called him?
Well... in a way, this guy can be considered a companion, so Stoka's thinking isn't wrong.

The problem is that both people had misconceptions, which created a loophole...

Tang Yiping was both amused and exasperated.

The question now is, what is this guy here for?
"Where is this guy?" Tang Yiping asked.

Stoka lowered its head, pawed around under Tang Yiping's wheelchair a couple of times, then pulled out a shadow with its mouth and handed it to Tang Yiping.

Tang Yiping reached out and took Charon from him.

Clearly, under the power of the [Original Dust Mother Tree], it has lost all its senses and degenerated into its most primitive form.

Holding it in his hands, Tang Yiping suddenly understood why the Charon race was called "Shadow Gap".

Its true form is actually without any thickness. If Tang Yiping really had to find a suitable description for it, it would probably be a tattered garbage bag or a black plastic sheet with unclear edges.

It's extremely thin and weightless; holding it in your hand feels like holding an opaque spider web.

Tang Yiping rolled it up, and it was easily squeezed into a shape with almost no volume. But when he let go, it slowly stretched into a flat shape because of its own toughness and elasticity.

Its texture is also unique; it is smooth but not greasy, with a very delicate feel.

A notification popped up in front of Tang Yiping's eyes:
—You have captured the material [Shadow Gap] (user [Charon K55078192F3Y]), which can be used to make clothing. You can use it to make [clothing to cover your body].

—Based on your profession [Corpse Hunter] (Warning, warning, this profession is severely overpowered, has been dispatched.../crossed out), and your crafting ability, it is recommended that you craft it into a cloak. Craft it?

—Note that the target material is currently in a restricted state. Forcibly crafting it will erase all of its late-game talents and prevent it from utilizing all its properties. It is recommended to restore the current state of the target material before crafting it.

Tang Yiping felt that he was being looked down upon.

What cloak?
To put it bluntly, it's just about throwing this rag on yourself, right?

Am I really that bad at crafts?

You guessed right, I really can't do crafts. You really saw through my true abilities!
Tang Yiping thought for a moment, then stuffed Charon into his pocket.

Erasing the consciousness of a living being and using it merely as "clothing" seems to contradict Tang Yiping's values.

He decided to put the matter aside for the time being, as he had more important things to deal with now.

Then, looking at the prompt in front of him, he rejected the elimination orders for Lola and Lux, while temporarily suspending Charon's order, intending to deal with it later.

Then, another message popped up:
——用户【洛拉C29741297B1X】【拉克丝L78456231C2X】获准进入第79424号负熵农场，请设定用户【洛拉C29741297B1X】【拉克丝L78456231C2X】在【负熵农场】内的权限。

Then, a dense list of options appeared below, but unfortunately, most of them were grayed out. Tang Yiping's interface was very basic, essentially a CLI, with only a command prompt line and no real interface, so these densely packed options were a visual disaster.

"Who designed this lousy system?! Luckily you didn't fall into Brother Ban's hands," Tang Yiping complained.

Then you can start carefully selecting and setting things up inside.

Although the interface of this thing was unbearable to him, the options inside made him more and more terrified the more he looked at them.

He found some highlighted permissions that he could choose, and then began to configure them:
"Disable [Perception Shield]?"

"Yes."

"Personal Shielding will be disabled in which areas? Please select the areas..."

"whether……"

Tang Yiping looked through the selections, his heart pounding with anxiety.

So the power of the [Original Dust Mother Tree] can be precisely controlled?
Could it be that the [Original Dust Mother Tree] is not just a crop grown on this negative entropy farm, but rather a part of this farm system?

One could even say that the entire farm operates on the [Mother Tree of Primordial Dust]?
Is the "Original Dust Mother Tree" the farm and the farm system itself?

Is this even possible?

Can the weak be exploited in this way?
But upon closer examination, this makes perfect sense.

If the weak cannot be exploited in this way, then what is the point of weakening the "weak"?

The "Survival Guide for the Weak" is an efficient way to utilize the "weak".

Tang Yiping's previous code also utilized the power of the "weak," but he only used the characteristics of the weak to empower his own code.

He never imagined that the weak could not only empower code, but could even be the hardware that runs the code, or even the code itself.

Tang Yiping continued setting things up while thinking about it.

—Should we charge a privilege tax to [Lola C29741297B1X] and [Lux L78456231C2X]? Please set the tax rate…

—Abolish taxes and fees.

——当前赋予了【洛拉C29741297B1X】【拉克丝L78456231C2X】过高的权限，属于强制税率，无法豁免，请为【洛拉C29741297B1X】【拉克丝L78456231C2X】设置税率……

Tang Yiping was speechless. Was this guy trying to squeeze oil out of a rock?

He lowered the tax rate for both of them to the lowest possible level, glanced at the tax amount, and felt that if he clicked "confirm," Lola would probably spit him out the next second.

There was nothing he could do but go back and start reducing the permissions of the two people again, picking and choosing, adding and deleting various permissions, until finally the option to cancel taxes and fees was lit up again.

Once the confirmation was complete, Lola and Lux ​​finally came to their senses.

"Is this what's behind the cave entrance?" Lola looked around blankly. Their access level only allowed them to see a range roughly the same distance as the "Nearby People" area. "What is this place?"

Tang Yiping looked up.

This was the first time he had seen the truth of the world with his own eyes.

“This is… behind the world,” Tang Yiping said.
