Bone-deep cold rushed in from every direction. Lin Mo snapped his eyes open to find himself on a vast, snowbound plain. The wind howled, whipping fine flakes of snow against his face and stinging his skin. He instinctively tried to raise a hand to shield himself, only to find his arms terrifyingly slender and his skin so pale it was almost translucent.
This wasn't his body.
Memories surged back like a tide. He remembered calibrating the latest quantum computer in the lab when a violent tremor struck, followed by a blinding white light. When he regained consciousness, he had already arrived in this unfamiliar world.
"Ding!"
A crisp notification suddenly rang in his mind, and a translucent screen opened before his eyes:
[Host detected as awake]
[System activating...]
[Cultivation Assistance System bound]
Lin Mo froze. The familiar interface, the clean UI design... Why did it look so much like the AI system he'd developed? Could it be that the lab accident had brought his system along when he transmigrated?
"System?" he tentatively called out in his mind.
[Hello, Host. I am the Cultivation Assistance System. I can provide cultivation guidance, technique analysis, pill refinement, and other services.]
It really was the AI he'd developed! He had no idea why it had turned into a cultivation system, but at least he now had a reliable companion in this unfamiliar world.
The wind grew more bitter, and Lin Mo felt his body temperature plummeting. This body was far too weak. If things continued like this, he'd freeze to death on this snowfield before he could even figure out what was going on.
