Rebirth of the Father of Anime

"Unlocked successfully..."

The cold voice of the system sounded as beautiful to He Chen as the voice of a beautiful woman.

Along with the long-lost voice, He Chen opened his eyes again.

He has repeated this set of actions countless times. From the initial doubts, panic, and uneasiness to the final numbness, he even almost accepted this setting-if he accepted this, I wonder if it would be possible. Will it stay like this forever?

But this time, he felt at ease, as if he had finally returned home after wandering for a long time.

This is truly homecoming!

Everything in the bedroom was his most familiar appearance, familiar smell, and the familiar person in his arms.

Yi Jingshuo curled up in his arms like a cat, pillowing his arm. Her soft hair spread out in all directions, as if covering He Chen's arm with a layer of black gauze.

The faint light of dawn passed through the curtains, bringing a hazy and warm warmth to the room.

Yi Jingshuo didn't know what kind of sweet dream she had, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. He Chen couldn't bear to disturb Yi Jingshuo's sweet dream, so he didn't move.

The other hand reached out from the quilt, took the mobile phone from the bedside table, and looked at the time. It was not yet six o'clock, and the date read July 1.

It seemed that He Chen's action of holding the phone moved the quilt. Yi Jingshuo arched into He Chen's arms and found a comfortable position. At the same time, she pulled the quilt over her head, and her whole body was wrapped in the quilt, leaving only The shiny black hair is spread outside.

The whole set of actions was completed in his sleep, and then he fell into a deep sleep again as if nothing happened.

Although it's not yet six o'clock. Most people in China are still dreaming. But He Chen didn't feel sleepy at all - he had "woke up" countless times. Are you still half asleep?

He Chen called out the system, and he still remembered the "unlocked successfully" sound from the system.

The system that had not responded to him for a "long time" finally came out after being called upon for a long time, showing its delicate appearance - the entire interface was still the same, and overall there was no change at all.

He Chen remembered that the system started to be upgraded after Children's Day. Is the upgrade completed now?

From a theoretical point of view,

The upgrade should be completed. But He Chen is still not sure whether this is his own world or has the system upgrade been completed? Or is this another world and the system has not been upgraded at all?

He Chen focused on the list of comics he had redeemed. Since it was "unlocked successfully", there would definitely be new things... But the most important point is that He Chen did not remember that he had received it. Any mission!

The order of the works was basically arranged in the order of redemption. He Chen looked carefully and slowly from the beginning to the back and confirmed that all the works that appeared now were "personally" redeemed by him. There are no "violating points" in the comics.

Then I turned my attention to the last one, which was the one that was successfully unlocked recently. This is the only content that does not match He Chen's memory.

The name is ";gate" - "Steins Gate", a work that He Chen is very familiar with. The original work is a game, which was later adapted into animation and derivative comics.

The story is about: One year after the Shibuya Collapse, the news that an artificial satellite fell from the roof of the Akihabara Kaikan building made a lot of noise. The captain of the "Future Invention Research Institute", a three-person invention group based in Akihabara, Rintaro Okabe, a college student who cannot cure his second childhood disease, and his partners repeat the development of weird inventions all day long. On July 28, 2010, in order to obtain credits, Okabe went to the lecture venue with his friend Hashida Yuki of the same grade. There, they met Makise Kurenai, a talented girl who successfully published a paper in an American science magazine at the age of 18. Lisu.

However, the strange thing is that Okabe just witnessed Makise fainting in a pool of blood on the 8th floor of the clubhouse a few hours ago. What’s even more puzzling is that all this was clearly recorded in the text message sent to Hashida a week ago.

In the end, Okabe found out that one of the mobile phone devices they invented accidentally had the function of sending text messages to the past, which was similar to a time machine. At this time, Okabe never even thought that this accidental invention would become the key to the future of the world. The great invention of the century was born...

"..."

The first time he saw ";gate", He Chen vaguely understood something in his heart.

"System, when did you complete the upgrade?"

He Chen first checked with the system. He didn't ask anything else. He first asked about the system upgrade time. If this didn't match what he remembered, everything else wouldn't matter.

"July 1, 00:00:15..." The system gave a very accurate time, even down to milliseconds.

This first solved He Chen's doubts. One was that the system had indeed been upgraded, and the other was that the system was upgraded in the early hours of this morning.

The only thing that makes He Chen awkward is why is it not a time that sounds good and looks like 00:00:00:00? Instead, fifteen minutes are followed by seconds and milliseconds that can drive Virgos crazy. Could it be that this system upgrade is delayed like some domestic games?

If you directly ask the system for an upgrade patch, this stupid system will not give it to He Chen. He Chen can only discover everything by himself.

"Was everything that happened to me caused by you?" He Chen asked the system.

The system didn't respond. I don't know if it was because I was too "dumb" to understand, or because I was too lazy to respond to He Chen.

"Okay, let's change the question, what does ";gate" mean?" He Chen asked again, and the system answered: "Newly produced works."

"Nonsense, I know it too! Let's just assume that I happened to be sleeping when it was refreshed on July 1, so I don't know. What I'm asking is, why is ";gate" unlocked even though I haven't accepted any unlocking tasks? Finish!"

"At 2:14, with your consent, you accepted ";gate"." The system answered He Chen strictly.

"2:14?" He Chen asked emphatically in confusion.

"Yes." The system answered affirmatively, and He Chen said, "I should have been sleeping at that time!"

"With your consent..."

The system didn't know whether it didn't understand what sleeping meant, or whether it was deliberately playing tricks on He Chen. In short, it recognized He Chen's "sleep talk" as "confirmation" when He Chen was asleep.

Put aside for the moment, whether it is kind or not to ask an unconscious person to "sign and pledge" something. If a certain classic was not completed because He Chen had no consciousness, wouldn't that mean He Chen was tricked to death?

"What are the unlocking tasks of ";gate"?"

His previous experience was exactly the same as the story of ";gate". Although he had already guessed that this might be a new mission mode after the system upgrade, he still confirmed it to the system.

"";gate" unlocking mission: Retrieve the world line."

"..."

A simple and crude answer: He Chen really couldn't rely on the system's IQ.

"You mean, what happened to me before when I traveled through infinite time was to complete the unlocking task of 'Recovering the World Line' in ";gate"? And this mode is your new task after this upgrade. Mode?" He Chen had to confirm these details in detail.

"Yes."

Sure enough, after understanding this, the system's answers became much simpler and easier to understand.

It’s actually a new mission mode!

He Chen confirmed to the system very seriously and solemnly: "Then let me ask you, will I die in this mode? If I don't complete it, will I be trapped in it forever?"

"During the execution of the task, there will not be any life safety risk to the host itself. If it is not completed, it will not be trapped inside forever. The maximum duration of a task is 6 hours in real time. Once the time is over, , the host will wake up. A task can be executed up to 10 times. If it ends ten times, the task fails and can never be unlocked. The refresh still uses the same mechanism as before. If the task is not completed within the refresh time, it will also be refreshed." This time I explained it to He Chen in detail.

There was no danger and he would not be trapped to death, which made He Chen completely relieved.

This upgrade changed the mode of executing missions, and added a 10-time setting within the originally limited 3-month period.

After a long silence, He Chen digested the new content brought by this system upgrade. Finally, He Chen asked the most critical question: "Are the worlds I experienced before real? Or were they shaped by you? A dream-like hallucination?”

However, the system did not give any answer to this question.

No matter how He Chen changed the way he asked the question, the system had no response.

"Are those dreams? Or are all the worlds I have experienced the 'real' world?" He Chen began to look at the world and his own experiences again.

He can no longer even distinguish between the two worlds he has experienced.

Is what is here a dream, and he dreams that he has traveled through time, or is what is over there a dream, and what is here is a dream, and he dreams of the world over there, and thinks he is a time traveler?

"But it doesn't matter anymore! What matters is not which side is 'reality' or which side is 'dream'..."

"What matters is which side 'I' am on!"

He Chen no longer has any confusion about the world!

He hugged the still sleeping Yi Jingshu tightly and rubbed his chin on her head, causing Yi Jingshu to murmur.

Let beautiful dreams become reality.

Let the painful reality become a dream!

The realm of reality and dreams, the realm of pain and happiness... it's all up to him to choose! To be continued. .
