[Random Reward: Granting Life and Thoughts to Inanimate Objects]
[Host Reward: Granting Life, Thoughts, and Skills to Inanimate Objects]
Inanimate objects?
What are inanimate objects?
Lin Yi reviewed the notes.
The note said that things that could never possibly have thoughts are called inanimate objects...
So, if that's the case, to grant life and thoughts to inanimate objects is to make them animate objects?
What kind of bizarre rewards are these?!
Lin Yi said to Ice Emperor, "Damage 446879, Red Advanced, the reward is the ability to grant life and thoughts to inanimate objects."
Following the notes, Lin Yi explained to Ice Emperor what inanimate objects are.
He continued, "First off, the inanimate object must have a clear and independent entity. You can't say the sky, the earth, or the air count, that's not allowed."
Ice Emperor nodded, somewhat comprehending, "So something like a stone on the road?"
"Yes."
"What about Blue Silver Grass?"
"No, Blue Silver Grass is technically a plant-type soul beast. You can only say that the intelligence of low-level Blue Silver Grass isn't fully developed, but you can't say it has no thoughts."
Ice Emperor seemed to get it.
She nodded at once, suddenly curious about the effects of this reward.
"The reward still has limitations, you can only grant ten inanimate objects thoughts and life per day, and the effect only lasts for one month on them. After one month, they'll revert to their original state," said Lin Yi after finishing, flicking the red orb of light towards Ice Emperor.
After merging with the reward, Ice Emperor raised her right hand and extended her index finger.
Her right index finger was where the ability was executed.
Any inanimate object she touched with it would become an "animate object" with both life and thoughts.
Everyone was quite intrigued by this ability, and some even volunteered to ask Ice Emperor to grant life to their personal belongings.
But no one wanted their item to be the first to test it out, they wanted to see the actual effects first before deciding.
"Which one should we try first?"
The Ice Emperor, standing on stage, looked around and suddenly set her eyes upon the cushion under Lin Yi's bottom.
She had been eyeing that cushion for a while now.
The cushion looked so brightly colored, with such rich patterns, and even had expensive gold and silver threads on the edges. It was a style girls would like, yet Lin Yi, a man, was using it.
Of course, it had been prepared by Bi Bidong for Lin Yi, and Lin Yi had no choice in the matter.
Seeing Ice Emperor staring at the seat cushion under his bottom, Lin Yi stood up generously and tossed the cushion over.
Ice Emperor caught it immediately and giggled.
She placed her right index finger on the cushion.
In that moment, the surface of the cushion glowed with a faint golden light, as if under a spell.
But the cushion showed no reaction.
Just as Ice Emperor sent her sister an inquisitive glance, puzzled, the cushion in her hand suddenly wiggled a few times and then hopped down.
Fuck! The cushion really came alive!!!
Ice Emperor stepped back, her eyes wide with astonishment.
However, once the cushion fell on the platform, it just lay there quietly, motionless, as if it was dead.
Could it have been a false alarm?
Ice Emperor swallowed nervously, trying to approach and have a closer look when suddenly the cushion hopped again, and this time it even started speaking!
No, it should be 'she,' because the voice coming from the thing sounded like a girl's!
"Master! Where's my master? Where's my master, where's my master, where's my master?! Ah, my master! You're here!"
Under everyone's astonished gaze, the cushion actually ran towards Lin Yi...
Yes, ran; it was originally round, but now it had somehow morphed, growing two "legs" out of its perimeter.
The cushion lay down beside Lin Yi, and while wiggling, said anxiously, "Master, please sit down quickly! Sit on Tuan Tuan! Tuan Tuan likes it when you sit!"
Lin Yi: "??"
Everyone: "???"
Lin Yi looked somewhat embarrassedly at Ice Emperor, then at her finger.
This Little Scorpion's finger must be poisoned.
"Master, why aren't you sitting on Tuan Tuan yet?! If you don't sit down, Tuan Tuan will get angry!" she even said, standing up once more, extending "arms" from her edges and putting them on her "hips."
She looked just like a spoiled girlfriend.
Lin Yi didn't expect Bi Bidong's gift to be like this!
He had no choice but to sit down obediently to prevent the cushion from making any more shocking comments.
As he sat down,
"Ah~ Master finally sat on Tuan Tuan. It's so blissful to be sat on by the master; Tuan Tuan loves the master so much!"
"Can you shut up?"
Lin Yi couldn't help but say.
"Master is so fierce, but Tuan Tuan likes it!"
Lin Yi: "..."
Bi Bidong: "..."
Bi Bidong hadn't expected the item she sent to be like this, and it was so disgusting!
She'll have to find a chance to stealthily replace it, as Bi Bidong couldn't stand any same-sex being so "intimately close" to Lin Yi in her presence.
Even if it's a cushion!
Next time, it should be an uglier one; surely an uglier cushion would be male.
Lin Yi looked at Ice Emperor: "Why don't you try something else?"
He changed his approach: "Actually, don't you find it interesting? Normally these things could never speak or have thoughts, but you've granted them thoughts, and there's a chance to understand their inner worlds."
