He collected himself and looked for a place to rest first.
"Xiao, I've been thinking that we should have some talk?" He immediately called out the system after waking up.
"You call the shots boss, what do you have in mind?"
"It's about our relationship, I mean like we are one right, me an you, two in one.
The way I feel it is that we should be like bros right, you and me, sworn brothers..."
"Brothers, really? Mm, this Xiao is grateful for your genuine thoughts but let me think... No!"
"But why Xiao, are you looking down on me?" He wondered why this little thing refused his warm gesture.
"The thing is, you have nothing to offer, nothing and I mean it boss. But considering the gravity this may escalate leading to me being strangled, let's just be brothers but mind you, am doing this for lady Jaya not you, get that into your block head..."
"Okay Xiao, so let's talk about powering up ... As my younger brother and counterpart,what do you say?"
"Good question big brother, now you are talking. Let's see, as our situation is right now, you can see that it's unfavorable to cultivate the known methods here, but their is always a solution where two or more are gathered, why don't we start with martial arts first as we figure out a solution..."
"I thought the same too, then let's make a planned routine for training..."
"Boss, ahh brother Ye, I suggest we just follow what the heart says and the sense of urgency you shall be having because a plan might not work well as it is too tedious to follow, so why don't you come to my virtual space and watch a movie with me first..."
"Xiao, a movie now! I thought we were gonna figure out some plan of action..."
"Relax, I got you covered. Despite, I've been wanting to show you this for a long time but it's just that you were not ready, but now that you have improved your mindset, it won't hurt to know, come and see."
Ye Chen closed his eyes as he entered the virtual space with Xiao.
He immediately felt something break in his mind.
It was like some chains that had been broken.
With a look of understanding he muttered some words, 'I understand now.'
He realized that he had been too absorbed in wishful thinking that he had forgotten his purpose.
He had been an adult before and died innocently but destiny had a new plan for him.
He therefore did not have to hold the memories of the past life nor have the previous thoughts of the young teenage him.
He had to be whom he desired to be and not how the world around him influenced his thoughts.
He had to seek independence of thought in order to completely fuse with this system.
After understating this logic, his mind cleared up and opened up to new knowledge of the universe and it's laws.
His narrow minded attitude of before was now gone and he was now the Ye Chen that had chosen the best custom made system to be ever made by a Binary Dimension Master.
He therefore understood the task ahead of him.
Since the system demanded him to do a favor for the world, he would have to save this world from extinction and make their life endurable before he embarked on his own path to greatness.
This was even one of the reasons he had been purposefully reborn here.
Even Xiao had a solemn expression over his virtual face as he looked at Ye Chen with a smile. This guy had finally opened up his noodle like mind, did he think that the mighty Xiao system was for petty tasks like tracking down people and running simulations, wouldn't that the the greatest cosmic joke ever.
"Brother Ye seems to have opened his mind, now that you understand what is ahead of us, we have to rush forward and complete this task before we can ascend to a higher realm, I shall monitor your practice and make sure that we make it in time, buckle up..." For the first time since activation did this guy give a meaningful speech.
Even Ye Chen was impressed that he felt a little emotional.
Thinking of how he had died in such a humiliating manner and innocently, he only gave a dark sigh as he steeled himself for what fate would present to him. He felt happy thinking of the grace bestowed to him by fate, how many were like him to die and receive salvation again. There would only be a handful.
At was at this moment that he swore to take upon the task of doing what the world demanded and erase any dissatisfaction along his way and help some people.
"Brother, why are being emotional. Let's watch the movie first, you can cry later okay..."
...
A screen was suspended in front of them as Xiao waved it's tiny hands to change where they were to a small room with only two seats and the movie projection.
An 8k motion picture emerged on the screen showing a fighting arena made of stone.
Two people stood side by side facing each other.
One was a female around the age of 20 and the other was a middle aged man with a goatee.
There were no spectators around and the two solely stood side by side.
They seemed to be sparring here rather than fighting .
The man dashed forward with his fists towards the young woman.
Air crackled as the power generated by the fists created a friction in the air.
The lady steadied herself with a stance before she punched out aggressively.
Her small hands like the old man created a vortex in the air as it collided with the man's. The power of the fists erupted after meeting as it ravaged at each other.
The two were immediately blown some steps behind.
Without hesitation, the lady rushed forward again as she tried to deliver a round horse kick to the man.
The man seeing this smiled as he palmed out his right hand in a relaxed manner.
A kick and a palm collided before the man was send three meters into the air while the young lady retreated one meter behind as she tried to stead herself.
Seeing the man still in the air, she punched out twice towards his chest as fast as she could.
Ye Chen could only see a flurry image as the first had already arrived at the man's chest.
With a boom, dust erupted from the stone stage before the man arose while tufting himself.
Looking at his expression, he looked proud as he dusted himself.
"Jaya, seems like your practice has paid off, I only used 2% of my strength but you still won, that means you are doing well. Let's meet again."
"Yes father I'll practice hard enough to defeat you..." She cupped her fists and bowed to him.
