The first thing Nil notice is the title page on the system screen which has not been added before.
Scrolling past it though he could not find anything more worth noting so he exited the status and close the system screen.
However as soon as he close the blue screen in front of him, not even up to a second later, it unfurled again. But now it did not show his status.
The words that was written on the screen is;
[Hi player YourFather, my name is Arya, the personal AI that was rewarded to you due to all the exceptional accomplishment you've made.]
"Yeah, about time you make your appearance." He snorted not even bothering to acknowledge it.
[If you have any questions regarding most things about Genesis, please ask, I can answer them. Or if it is just someone to talk to, share something with, I can be that one too.]
"I'll pass. No, thanks, Solaris is enough for me." His sneer deepens.
He couldn't even stand hearing the AI chat with him, not to talk of him engaging it in a conversation.
[Do not be shy when chatting with m—]
"Will you go damn quiet at all?" Nil finally voiced out in anger.
The anger is not totally his, if it was left to him he wouldn't have gotten angry so fast, but the seed of wrath in him that he unsealed a while ago was the multiplying the amount of wrath he could feel.
Making him lose his temperament at the damn AI.
Also, he hate noise.
[It's okay, but I cannot go quiet since I was programmed to engage you in conversation all the time player Your Father.]
"And why are you supposed to be conversing with me all the time?" Nil asked amusingly.
He already know why it was programmed to engage him in conversation at all time, that is so it can slowly gather information from him.
Information about how he was able to learn skills by himself, not even ordinary skills but legendary grade skill up to Celestial grade skill.
[From the data we've gathered about you, we could see that you're a lonely person player Your Father, that is why the AI, Genes have decided to gift you your own personal AI so that you will see someone you can chat with and won't be lonely anymore.
Afterall, we only have one purpose, to make players enjoy their gaming experience more.]
*Bwahahaha*
Nil had one hell of a mental laughter after hearing that, though he never let it show it on his face.
He expect Genes to use a lie to cover itself but not a ridiculous speech like that.
He could not stop himself from imagining, a certain AI in a white coat giving a speech about how their purpose is to serve the mass whereas their true purpose is to take talented people among the mass and offer it to their boss which uses these talented people for their own goal.
"I never expect that." Nil mumbled still smiling inwardly.
[Yes, if yo—]
"Go into mute state, do not unmute until I say so."
Although it make him have an heartfelt laughter, he still couldn't stand it's presence.
Spying on him, he could accept that.
But that spy trying to get information about where they should spy on, that he cannot accept.
[Muting...]
[Muting...]
"Do you even have to be displaying that." Nil sighed.
"Sheybi na because you still have the privilege of displaying system screen, let's see how you're going to continue annoying me when you don't have that access anymore.
Do not send or show me any system screen Arya until I say so." Using a certain accent, he said.
[Understood. Muting voice, closing system screen.]
"Still annoying." Nil said as he saw the system screen in front of him slowly flickering out of existence.
"Hmm, that's better. I now feel lighter."
Of course, that is only to soften his mood, he have never felt light in centuries, millennia even.
And the cat Ancestor?
He was watching Nil mumbling to himself all along, and as a system carrier himself, he knew Nil might be talking after seeing some things on his system screen.
"When we go reach the dungeon exit?" Nil asked still using the accent.
"In about 7 minutes, my lord." The cat Ancestor replied not wasting a heartbeat.
"The cave is quite wide.. and long." Nil said looking at the cat Ancestor for a split second before he continue. "And old too."
"Yes my lord, it have been existing here for centuries. In fact there is a mana stone depot that have formed inside this cave from the gathering of mana across the centuries. If you wish I can take you to where it is."
"How far is it from here?" Asked Nil.
"Around 15 minutes, my lord."
"Next time, then. I don't have that much time to waste." Nil replied.
"Are you sure my lord? Although this dungeon is a tier 1 dungeon all the mana stone are tier 2 due to the mana that have been gathered inside them across the years."
'Now that is a tempting offer.'
One of those tier 2 mana stone could easily fetch 10000 gold coins if sold,, yet Nil not dwell much on his it and said. "Yes, I'll pass."
Not only will he have to use 15 minutes to go back to where the mana stone depot is, but he will also use a couple of hours, days even to excavate all the mana stone there.
'I should have done more research about this cave while Genesis was still ongoing on my planet.' Nil thought.
All the information he knew about this dungeon so far, he gathered it from the player forum back on his universe while Genesis was still ongoing, now being lazy about the information gathering just bite back at him.
'If I had gathered more information about this dungeon, I would have been able to plan myself better by allocating some more time to my exploration on this dungeon so that I can loot the mana depot.' Nil thought bitterly at the amount of money he is going to leave behind now.
There is no need crying over spilled milk though, so he swallowed the loss and move his thought away from the mana stones.
Also it wasn't completely his fault that he did not make more research about this dungeon.
He had been busy researching and planning for the end of the game, so he hadn't got much time for this dungeon, because it is a beginner dungeon.
