Chapter 33: The body was completed, and I took Narcida out to eat.
In the dream, Chen Bo excitedly asked, "Nashida, are you ready to enter a new body?"
Nasita's eyes lit up immediately: "It's already finished? Much faster than I expected."
"Of course, I've put in 100% effort so you can experience the outside world as soon as possible."
Afterwards, Chen Bo exited the dream and put the Void Terminal on his doll.
This void terminal isn't anything particularly valuable.
The void terminal on the doll's ear lit up, and the next second, the pupils in its previously empty eye sockets gradually focused, emitting a faint green light.
Connection successful.
Consciousness has been successfully infiltrated.
Nasita tried moving her fingers, and her knuckles made a slight clicking sound.
She raised her hand, looking at her metal palm with some curiosity.
"It feels like the size fits perfectly, and the weight distribution must have been precisely calculated, right?" Narcida stood up and took two steps on the marble floor, her movements completely fluid and natural.
"Absolutely, I referenced your original data and replicated it one-to-one." Chen Bo patted his chest to assure him, "As for the body, the size you're most comfortable with is best."
Next comes the most important step.
Chen Bo took out the transparent petri dish from the system space and used a very small spoon to take out a little bit of the translucent gelatinous substance.
The thing was wriggling under the light, as if it were alive.
"This is a very powerful bio-alchemy sample. It can give this body a realistic feel. You can touch it with your fingers," Chen Bo explained as he handed the spoon to Nasita.
Nasita nodded, extended her finger, and pointed at it.
The moment Narcida's metal fingers touched the slime, a strange change occurred.
The originally translucent substance instantly turned a vibrant emerald green upon contact with Nasita's fingers. It then rapidly multiplied, transforming into sentient vines that quickly spread along the mechanical arm, filling the gaps between the gears and covering the cold mechanical skeleton.
Chen Bo was watching from the side, but as he watched, he sensed that something was wrong.
Wait a minute, Naxida has no clothes on her body.
Before his skin had fully evolved, Chen Bo took out a few pieces of children's clothing he had drawn and threw them on the bed.
"Hey, your clothes are on the bed, put them on yourself, I'm going out for some fresh air!" Chen Bo said, then turned and rushed out of the room, closing the door behind him.
About ten minutes have passed.
"Come in, I'm already dressed."
Nasita's voice came from inside the door, and Chen Bo reopened the door and entered.
Inside the room, Nasita was already dressed in the children's clothes that the system had drawn.
It was a very pretty little dress that made her look like a delicate porcelain doll.
Nasita was standing in front of the mirror, repeatedly clenching and unclenching her fists, feeling her new body.
"This feeling... is amazing." Nasita turned her head, her eyes full of surprise. "It's like another body of mine. I can feel pain, touch, temperature, and even the subtle sensation of air flowing through my skin."
However, Chen Bo discovered that this body was exactly the same as Nasita's original body.
Could it be that this material automatically adapts to the shape of the soul? Therefore, after merging with the living being, the living being's appearance did not change at all.
"Narcissus, can you control this alchemical flesh and blood and change your appearance?"
"I'll give it a try." Then, Nasita closed her eyes, her face twitching slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
Nasita opened her eyes and shook her head: "I can't change my appearance."
Okay, the guess has been basically confirmed.
It does indeed adapt to the shape of the soul; the physical form cannot be changed arbitrarily.
"How about this, I'll go out and buy some cosmetics to help you with some minor adjustments."
For the next half hour, he trimmed Nasita's bangs, used foundation to even out her skin tone, restyled her hair, and clipped a few simple hair clips to her temples.
Finally, he also put on a pair of black-rimmed glasses without a prescription.
It has a very intellectual feel to it.
"Done. Now, even if a great sage stood in front of you, he probably wouldn't recognize you."
Chen Bo was very satisfied with his revisions.
Nasita tilted her head in front of the mirror, observing herself carefully: "I feel like a different person. Is this what human 'disguise' is?"
"Nasita, would you like to go out and have some fun, or grab something to eat?"
"OK."
It's not too late yet.
It's around 8 p.m. now, which is the peak time for nightlife.
Chen Bo brought Naxi Da to the Grand Bazaar, the market town of Xumi.
"Tell me what you like, I'll pay tonight." Chen Bo patted the Mora bag at his waist, looking every bit the nouveau riche.
However, although Chen Bo is not extremely wealthy, he is still quite well-off.
At least buy some food; there's no need to be frugal.
"Hmm." Nasita observed curiously.
Chen Bo glanced at the food stalls and quickly found the date and coconut honey candy.
He immediately went over and bought a piece, handing it to Nasita: "This is a delicious dessert. Try it and see if this body can taste it."
Nasita nodded, picked up a crystal-clear piece of honey, and put it in her mouth.
The sweetness exploded on her tongue, enveloping her in a rich, date-scented flavor.
"Mmm...it's very sweet." Nasita's eyes curved into crescents. "I can taste the flavor; it's delicious."
"Normally, I can only infer the taste of food from other people's reactions. If they say 'it's sweet,' I simulate the concept of 'sweet' in my mind."
"But true sweetness is this feeling that makes you feel better."
Chen Bo was truly moved to tears.
Nasita had never eaten anything and had no idea how much of the food she had created in her dreams actually tasted like real food.
The two continued walking and passed a stall surrounded by people.
Chen Bo was also very familiar with the product he was selling: Sumeru sparkling water, which he had created himself.
However, it's no longer called Auspicious Drink; it's now called Sumeru Cola.
This stall wasn't being looked after by Dolly; it seemed to be one of her men.
I waited in line for a while.
Chen Bo bought two bottles and handed one to Naxida: "Try it. This is the auspicious drink I mentioned to you before. It's very delicious."
Naxida pulled out the stopper and curiously took a sip.
The dense carbon dioxide bubbles burst in her mouth, and the refreshing sensation made her involuntarily shrink her neck and scrunch up her face, before revealing a look of surprise.
"It's like countless little stars dancing in my mouth! It's delicious." Nasita held the bottle and took several more sips.
Looking at her childlike appearance, Chen Bo felt a warm glow in his heart.
"By the way, Nasita, does this body have a digestive system?" Chen Bo suddenly remembered this scientific question.
I designed a special space for storing food.
Did this flesh and blood evolve into internal organs?
Nasita shook her head: "No, these materials only condensed into muscles and skin, giving me sensory abilities, but not internal organs."
"After these foods are ingested, they will be temporarily stored in the space you designed. I will clean it up myself when I get back."
"Although I can't really digest it, I'm already very satisfied as long as I can taste it," Nasita said in a lighthearted tone.
The two chatted as they strolled along the street.
After walking a few steps, Chen Bo discovered that Fiona and Cole were also strolling through the night market.
