Individual rooms had their own small study, bed, and a bathing room. The first thing Yu Yan did upon return was to take a long-missed bath.

Yu Yan lay back on his bed, his long damp hair sprawled across the pillow. The steam of hot tea on his bedside table wafted into the hair as he spoke to Xiao Ba, his system companion, in his mind.

『Xiao Ba?』

『Master, I'm here!』 came the familiar mechanical but slightly more enthusiastic voice.

Yu Yan smiled faintly. It was only recently that Xiao Ba had finished its latest update, which had taken longer than usual causing its short hibernation. He could tell it had matured, or at least gained new capabilities.

『How's the new update treating you? Any cool patches?』

『They're good... but... it feels weird.』

Yu Yan raised an eyebrow, curious. 『Weird? What's weird?』

There was a brief pause before Xiao Ba responded, almost shyly, 『Master, can I ask questions?』

Yu Yan chuckled. 『Of course. What brought this on?』

『The patches... they're making me ask questions.』

Yu Yan laughed softly, realizing what was happening.

『Ah, it seems that the update gave you more capacity for independent thought than expected. You're like a toddler learning to talk ah. Next time, just say you're curious about something. You make it sound like the patches are ghosts la~ 』

『 Ehehe~ Okay, Master! Master, I'm curious about something! 』 Xiao Ba obediently repeated.

『 Good. So, what are you curious about, Xiao Ba?』

There was a small beep, followed by an almost hesitant response. 『Master... how are babies made?』

Yu Yan choked on the tea he was sipping, coughing uncontrollably.

『Master, are you okay?』

Coughing, 『I'm fine...』

Of all the questions! He shook his head, collecting himself. Of course, it would be something like that. After all, even kids ask this question but...

Yu Yan blew on his hot tea while asking,『 Well, I can tell you, but...can I know how you got curious about that? 』

『 To answer Master's question, Xiao Ba was checking the progress of the world's trajectory but it seems that there's an error and then it keeps on recalculating. 』

『 En. 』 Yu Yan thought that it might be because the plot had already turned twisted into something he could not explain. However, it's not a bad thing. He briefly recalls the main cast and characters of the story. The female lead was far out of sight and the one and a half of the male leads were his dormmates. It was safe to say that he didn't need to rely on the previous useless plot, a.k.a., the world settings.

It's one and a half of the male leads because he was only fifty percent sure that Azef was the second male lead. He had the same looks but a different genetic make-up. The two arms were proof of this. Yu Yan would've deduced them to be different people if not for the slowly increasingly acute sense of smell he was developing recently. The same nice scent from that Nurdyk man on planet M40 and his current dormmate were so alike, his nose couldn't tell who was who.
