Zombie Marvel? Luckily, I'm Superman!

Lin Yi stared at the holographic data before him, narrowing his eyes as he asked, "Who owns this spaceship?"

[Owner: Lin Yi]

Lin Yi frowned.

Beautiful. He had no recollection of ever owning this spaceship.

But... a figure popped into his head.

Quantum humans.

The orange gem was given to the quantum man, who said that the gem was given to him by Lin Yi at a certain point in time.

Now, this spaceship needs the Orange Gem to power it, and the spaceship is owned by him?

Could this also be the work of my future self?

As for sharing the same name? Lin Yi didn't think so, after all, the spaceship had just said that he had Level 5 piloting privileges.

Time is truly unpredictable.

Shaking his head, Lin Yi asked again, "And who are you? The spaceship's self-awareness? Or an intelligent entity?"

【…】

After a few seconds of silence, the spaceship's voice sounded again.

Your driving privileges are insufficient to retrieve this information.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow. What kind of nonsense is this?

"I'm the owner, and you're telling me I don't have enough permissions?"

Yes, based on your settings, Level 5 driving privileges cannot access core information.

Well, now even asking "who you are" has become core information?

"Now, as the owner, I request that you upgrade my driving privileges to the highest level," Lin Yi waved his hand and gave the order directly.

We're sorry, privileges cannot be escalated. According to your settings, there are physical limitations to privilege escalation.

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow again: "What do you mean?"

Each time you advance to a new driving rank, you need to connect an orange gem. This is a physical level limitation.

What the hell is my future self doing? Why this physical limitation? Who taught me these riddle-solving tricks?

"Are there any other methods?" Lin Yi asked.

Each orange gem upgrades one level. So far, Lin Yi has seen a total of two gems, one of which came with the spaceship.

The other one was given to him by the quantum being. Where is he supposed to find other gems?

"Sorry, no." The spaceship's reply was crisp and decisive.

"Do you know where the other orange gems are?" Lin Yi asked casually, though he didn't hold out much hope.

But this time, the spacecraft gave an unexpected answer.

[Yes, the nearest orange gem exists within the Time Management Bureau for a certain period of time, and our current timeline is within that period.]

It was a bit of a mouthful, but Lin Yi understood. It meant that the nearest orange gem had existed within the Time Management Bureau for a certain period of time. And their current time happened to fall within that period.

But this is a bit of a challenge for Lin Yi, as he currently has no means to go to the Time Management Bureau.

It's not a method, it's just that there's nothing like coordinates.

Lin Yi remained silent for a while, wanting to ask if the spaceship knew the locations of other orange gems, so that it would be good to collect them from the places they could find first.

The silence led the spaceship to mistakenly believe that Lin Yi was making preparations before takeoff, and it immediately asked, "Do we need to lock onto the destination?"

Lin Yi looked up abruptly: "Who? What's the destination? The Time Management Bureau?"

Yes, the Time Management Bureau's location change information has been uploaded, and you can go there at any time.

Lin Yi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Holy crap...

Is this spaceship... really that awesome?

Do you know the coordinates of the Time Management Bureau?

[Correction: The Time Management Bureau does not display coordinates.]

"So what methods did you use to pinpoint the Time Management Bureau's location?"

[Existence locking in a corresponding dimension based on dimensional photons.]

……

The shield, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, looked at Lin Yi through the camera after hearing this and said, "I'm saying, it seems like you've obtained something extraordinary..."

Lin Yi took a deep breath: "I think so too..."

"Spaceship, what other functions do you have? Or rather, what is your primary purpose? Tell me."

At this point, Lin Yi realized that this was not just a simple single-person spacecraft.

As soon as he finished speaking, the holographic projection interface in front of him switched, and a row of options appeared in front of Lin Yi.

In addition, there are incredibly complex star charts.

[Vehicle Class Name: Dimensional Shuttle. Core Function: Interdimensional Travel.]

"Dimensional travel?" Lin Yi repeated, was it the kind he was thinking of?

Yes, this dimensional shuttle is equipped with a dimensional photon positioning system, enabling it to traverse any spacetime up to four dimensions.

As the words fell, the holographic star map unfolded before them, and a drop-down menu appeared on the star map, displaying a dense array of coordinates and some symbols that Lin Yi didn't recognize. Those symbols were likely the ship's method of locking onto existence, meaning their coordinates couldn't be materialized.

The most eye-catching one is the row at the bottom that looks like a progress bar.

Dimensions, time axis, space axis.

Lin Yi paused for a moment.

This information is so little, yet so vast.

A spaceship capable of traversing dimensions… Although it's only one dimension higher than the three dimensions Lin Yi currently inhabits, the nature of four-dimensional space relative to three-dimensional space goes without saying. Profound, incomprehensible, and possibly possessing entirely different physical rules.

No, it is unknown whether the concept of physics even exists in that dimension.

Just as two-dimensional beings cannot accurately imagine a three-dimensional world, the four-dimensional theory that Lin Yi knows is merely a deduction made by many people and scientists based on the laws of one, two, and three dimensions.

Whether the true four-dimensional world will follow this pattern is hard to say.

Upon hearing that this thing could travel to the fourth dimension, Lin Yi felt a strong urge to go and see the fourth dimension.

What kind of scenery would it be there? Would the creatures still exist in the same way?

But... when Lin Yi voiced this idea, he received a rejection.

You need to collect at least two more gems to unlock higher driving privileges before you can travel to the fourth dimension.

Grass!

I knew it would be like this!

Lin Yi's forehead twitched, and he had an "I knew it" expression on his face.

"Relax, at least you got an awesome gadget, and we also got some new information, didn't we?" The shield patted Lin Yi with its claw.

Lin Yi was speechless: "You're quite optimistic."

Too lazy to bother with the shield, Lin Yi asked the spaceship again, "Besides the Time Management Bureau, do you have any other orange gem location information?"

Yes, I have the location information for all the orange gems, regardless of whether their locations have changed.

Oh?

Lin Yi's eyes lit up.

"Shall we show it to you?"

Sorry, insufficient permissions. You need to connect to at least one more orange gem to level up before you can obtain information about the next nearest orange gem.

Well, so this means I have to go to the Time Management Bureau first.
