After more than half an hour, Lin finally understood the ins and outs of the situation and clarified the connection between Dream Source and himself.
Calming down, Lin sat at the head of his bed, his brow furrowed as he looked at the new attribute bar on the System Attribute Panel, unsure of how to face this sudden "contract partner."
At the very bottom of all the attribute bars, a bright red attribute appeared, completely different from the other brown attributes, standing out prominently.
——
【Partner:
Identifier 1: Dream Source (Unknown Life Form)
The contract type is Energy Sharing Contract. This contract connects the host with the contractor, establishing an energy-sharing circuit system between them, allowing both to share energy in the future.
(Note: The life energy circuit of high-level energy has been severed; there is currently no life energy sharing system.)】
By carefully interpreting this attribute, Lin could derive a lot of information.
The most important point was that energy sharing meant that whether Lin made progress or Dream Source made progress, they would share all energy together.
In other words, if Lin's interstellar level was X and Dream Source's interstellar level was 0, then Lin's effective strength would only be at the interstellar level.
Conversely, if Lin encountered difficulties and remained stagnant at the interstellar level while Dream Source continued to train hard and became a strong being at interstellar level 0, then Lin's capabilities would reach above interstellar level 0. This could be seen as both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Whether it is good or bad depends on the synchronization rate between the two individuals. As long as there is a slight difference, the one lagging behind will hold back the other.
Of course, this is only an ideal calculation of energy exchange. If there is a significant gap in strength, Lin Ye cannot exert power beyond his limits.
The manifestation of comprehensive strength is not solely based on energy; it also involves the body, skills, and even the breadth of combat vision.
Even if a person at Interstellar Level 1 is given energy equivalent to Interstellar Level 100, he would merely be a weakling with abundant energy and could never become an unparalleled powerhouse.
It's like giving a child a solid iron mace; the child simply cannot wield it.
In this way, the greatest benefit of this contract is that Lin will have double the energy in the future.
When he is low on energy, Dream Source can transfer energy to him at any time without any medium, as long as they are not too far apart; remote transmission is possible.
Another point worth pondering is the disconnection of the life energy circuit at a higher energy level. This prompt warns Lin that he and Dream Source still have a faint connection in terms of vitality.
Although this connection has been temporarily severed, at the beginning of the contract, their life forces were shared, meaning that harm to one would affect the other.
Moreover, here it states "temporarily unavailable," which suggests that at some point in the future, under certain circumstances, this circuit might be activated again?
That would be a terrifying situation. At that time, Lin's life would not be in his own hands; he would not only have to ensure his own safety but also that of Dream Source.
This is an extremely undesirable outcome—exactly what Lin does not want to see!
What bothers Lin the most?
He was forced into this situation. He hated that his fate was controlled by others, but this contract had already divided his destiny into someone else's hands, making it impossible for him to live freely like before.
"Should I kill her now?"
Suddenly, such a wicked thought sprang into Lin's mind.
When a person is in extremely dire circumstances, their nature tends to be selfish. We first think of ourselves, and only then of our friends and family...
But this thought was fleeting. Lin was never the kind of person who could be ruthless and cold-blooded. He couldn't bring himself to kill someone for no reason.
He turned his head and glanced at Dream Source, who was sitting beside him with a dazed expression, tilting her head and twirling her long white hair, seemingly lost in thought.
Fortunately, Dream Source was preoccupied; otherwise, she would have sensed Lin's earlier thought.
The contract they formed had an additional effect: a deep connection between their minds.
Either of them could easily gather their spirit to probe the other's thoughts, allowing them to know what the other was thinking. This was a form of telepathy that developed later on.
Looking at Dream Source's adorable expression, Lin sighed. Even if he were a cold-blooded person, seeing such a beautiful and pure girl would make it hard for him to harbor any killing intent.
Dream Source's aura was very pure, like that of a newborn baby, making it impossible to entertain any malicious thoughts.
Of course, this was under the premise that she was fully clothed...
"Forget it! This is just the old thief playing tricks on me, creating such bizarre circumstances... It can be considered fate. At most, I’ll just keep her by my side from now on; it shouldn't lead to any major issues."
In utter helplessness, Lin could only comfort himself this way.
He must keep a close watch on Dream Source from now on, as it was not only the reason they might open a life circuit together, sharing their lives.
Dream Source also knew all his secrets, including Earth, the crossing over, and the System. Lin Ke could not allow Dream Source to leak any of this information.
Although he had repeatedly emphasized that his matters should not be revealed to others, Lin still felt some concern. Dream Source Sister was too innocent; if she wasn't careful, she could easily fall into someone else's trap.
If someone with ulterior motives were to exploit her, Dream Source would likely become Lin's Achilles' heel.
Be it a weakness or a forbidden line, this silly and beautiful girl was inexplicably tied to Lin.
Two strands of grass woven into the same wick burned with their lives and futures...
Having come to terms with all this, Lin Xin felt less irritable. The girl might be a bit foolish, but she was beautiful and pleasing to have around!
Thinking this way, Lin's expression softened. He turned his head to look at Dream Source, curious about what this silly Moe Girl had been pondering for half an hour in her daze.
With a sudden idea, Lin activated his newly acquired ability and focused intently on Dream Source, wanting to know what she was thinking.
After half a minute, Lin finally understood her tangled thoughts amidst the chaos in Dream Source's mind.
"Hey! Hey! Alien! Dream Source! What are you thinking? We're not married!"
The thoughts in Dream Source's mind startled Lin Yi, causing him to jump back and point at her with a trembling finger, his face turning red.
With such a sudden shout from Lin, Dream Source came back to her senses, her face turning a shade of red.
"But you just saw my body, and I saw yours... In romantic stories, once you've seen each other, we're considered married..."
"Huh? When did I ever read romance novels?" Lin frowned, his mouth agape as if he could fit an ostrich egg in it.
"In fourth grade! You weren't studying in class; you were secretly reading romance novels!"
Dream Source puffed out her chest and said confidently.
"Fourth grade? I don't even remember that. How could you see... Hey! That's not the point. The point is, we are not married!"
"Then what are we? Lovers? Partners? Or..."
What are all these confusing titles?
"Stop! We are nothing! We're just friends! No, not even friends; we should be..."
Lin frowned, tapping his finger on his nose, unable to figure out how to define their relationship.
"Ugh... You must think I'm ugly... After seeing each other's bodies and not being considered married or lovers, it just means one person dislikes the other..."
After a few misunderstandings, Dream Source pouted, her eyes brimming with tears, as if Lin had done something wrong to her.
Seeing Dream Source's pitiful expression, Lin's heart softened, and he let out a sigh.
It makes sense to think about it; the girl just transformed from a cat into a human and was seen completely by him. If he doesn't take responsibility, wouldn't that make him a scumbag?
If he has seen everything and is still unsure about their relationship, what else could he be but a scumbag?
After holding back for a while, Lin's face turned increasingly red. He felt a bit embarrassed about this question himself.
Thus, he stammered, "Alright, let's just say we are... lovers! But let me be clear, it's only in name. Don't get any improper ideas about me!"
"Really? We are lovers now?"
In the next moment, Dream Source's face lit up with a smile, her amber eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. Perhaps Moe Source isn't as clueless as she seems.
"Really! And listen carefully, I’ll emphasize again, it's only a nominal relationship!"
...
Dream Source indeed learned about this world from Lin's memories, but her recollection only goes back to when she became a cat, so her understanding is still somewhat lacking.
I wonder how many amusing and ridiculous stories await between the innocent and pure Moe Source and Lin in the days to come?
