587: This is an unexpected gain

Chapter 587: An Unexpected Gain

“No more fighting. You’ve reached this level, there’s no way I can surpass you. I give up. Next, you’ll be looking for someone, right? How do we start? Or rather…”

Nanasheng shook her head, stating with certainty.

But halfway through her sentence, she suddenly paused, looking at Lu Ran with a strange expression.

This was because Lu Ran was also looking at her with a strange expression.

Nanasheng felt a bit puzzled.

She said, “What’s with that expression? What are you going to do?”

Lu Ran’s gaze made Nanasheng feel as if they were very familiar with each other.

That feeling was very peculiar.

But from Nanasheng’s perspective, she and Lu Ran were not familiar at all!

Therefore.

This caused Nanasheng to feel a little uneasy.

Lu Ran shook his head and said, “Nothing. I’m going to give you a gift, though I don’t know if it will work.”

After he finished speaking.

Lu Ran extended a finger.

Under Nanasheng’s strange gaze.

Between Lu Ran’s fingers, things that looked like small snakes began to form and emerge.

Then they started to gather together.

They turned into a glowing ball the size of a fingernail.

Those small snakes were still moving and wriggling on the surface of the small ball.

If one looked closely, they could see that those small balls were all composed of data streams.

They were specifically generated by Lu Ran, containing stories and memories of Nanasheng, as well as the shared experiences of the two of them, and so on.

Of course, these were from the old Nanasheng, not the current Nanasheng.

“What is this?” Nanasheng looked at Lu Ran in surprise.

Anyway, Lu Ran had an endless array of methods, and Nanasheng was almost numb to them, or rather, she was almost used to them.

“You’ll know soon. I don’t know if it will work or what the effect will be, after all, this isn’t your complete memory,” Lu Ran said.

He could only datafy those memories through his own perspective and what he knew.

But he couldn’t datafy Nanasheng’s original memories because Lu Ran simply didn’t have the data!

Moreover.

That was something from another Datafication World, and Lu Ran couldn’t interfere with it.

In fact.

Lu Ran still didn’t know if the original Datafication World even still existed.

Speaking of which.

Lu Ran suddenly reached out and pointed towards Nanasheng’s glabella, the small ball gradually approaching Nanasheng’s glabella.

Nanasheng was startled and instinctively wanted to dodge.

But with a thought from Lu Ran, her body was rooted to the spot, unable to move.

She could only widen her eyes and watch helplessly as the small ball touched her glabella, unable to even utter a single word!

The next second.

The small ball seemed to turn into a stream of water, directly merging into Nanasheng’s body, brain, soul…

Boom~

As if a floodgate had opened, those memories surged back like a tide.

Nanasheng’s brain seemed unable to accept so much information in a short time, experiencing a kind of explosive pain.

Lu Ran stood in front of Nanasheng, watching curiously and waiting.

After a few minutes, Nanasheng’s breathing gradually calmed down, and she slowly opened her eyes.

The moment their eyes met, Lu Ran leaned in closer.

He asked curiously, “How do you feel? What’s the situation now?”

Nanasheng’s eyes were a bit complex. She stared at Lu Ran intently, but didn’t speak.

After a few seconds.

Nanasheng slowly opened her mouth and said, “Lu Ran…”

Hmm?

Lu Ran was startled. Although the name was correct, the tone in which she called Lu Ran, that familiar feeling seemed to have returned!

But Lu Ran wasn't very sure.

So he continued to ask, “Nanasheng, you are now…”

But before he could finish his sentence.

Nanasheng suddenly rushed forward and threw herself into Lu Ran’s arms.

Lu Ran’s heart trembled, and he instinctively embraced Nanasheng, tightening his arms around her.

This familiar feeling was already very clear: Nanasheng had returned!

The old Nanasheng had returned!

At this moment, Nanasheng’s body was trembling.

Like a startled fawn, she curled up in Lu Ran’s arms, shivering.

Lu Ran gently patted her back and said, “It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back.”

But…

There was a problem here.

The memories Lu Ran gave Nanasheng were only a part, and a small part at that; the part concerning Nanasheng herself was not there!

If it was only this part of the memories of her and Lu Ran’s story, would it be enough to make Nanasheng like this?

Thinking of this.

Lu Ran pulled Nanasheng up from his embrace.

He saw that Nanasheng was crying profusely, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Ran looked at Nanasheng curiously.

He asked, “So, you’ve absorbed the part of the memories I gave you? It’s hard for me to explain exactly what happened, but those are indeed your memories, just a small part. The rest…”

“The rest are there too,” Nanasheng suddenly interrupted Lu Ran’s words.

Ah?

Lu Ran was stunned. What did she mean, the rest were there too?

“The rest of the memories are also there,” Nanasheng said.

Although Lu Ran gave her only a portion of the memories, a very small part, and in Lu Ran’s original estimation, even if it worked, it wouldn’t have much effect or impact.

But in reality, Nanasheng had obtained all of her memories!

All of the original Nanasheng’s complete memories from childhood up until before Lu Ran was involved, were all there!

Lu Ran was a bit bewildered.

“Really? Are you lying to me?” Lu Ran was a bit suspicious.

He wondered if the memory transfer hadn't worked, but Nanasheng had guessed what Lu Ran wanted to do, so she was cooperating and acting.

There was a chance of that, although Nanasheng’s performance just now didn’t seem like acting at all, it couldn’t be ruled out.

Nanasheng, however, shook her head and said, “Actually, I’m not very clear about what exactly happened, but what I gained wasn’t my memories, not my original complete memories, but the complete me.”

Ah?

Lu Ran was even more confused. What was all this gibberish? Why couldn’t he understand?

Nanasheng seemed to know that Lu Ran hadn’t understood.

She continued to explain:

“After you left, the original Datafication World experienced problems.”

“Whether it was the wilderness, the dungeons, or even the environment, everything underwent drastic changes.”

“It wasn’t a beneficial data upgrade, but rather a disruption and corruption.”

“I don’t know about others, but I was directly reverted to raw data streams and sealed away.”

“It was a dark space, with nothing in it, only my consciousness. I had no body, couldn’t see, couldn’t hear, couldn’t speak, couldn’t do anything.”

“I thought it would be like that forever, that feeling was too terrifying!”

…

Until Lu Ran just now datafied a portion of the memories and gave them to Nanasheng.

That was like a fuse, pulling Nanasheng, who had been reverted to data streams, to revive in her current body!

Therefore.

Nanasheng said that what she gained wasn’t memories, but her complete self!
