Trembling At A High Altitude

After venting his frustrations, Li Teng lay down.

His mood gradually calmed down.

Today wasn't too hot; the top of the stone pillar wasn't scorching enough to burn the skin.

Forget it, no need to be angry anymore.

Being angry is just making things difficult for myself.

It wouldn't harm those mysterious big shots who are beyond this plane of existence.

Maybe they are listening to music and eating fine food while laughing at his angry, crazed look.

With that time, it's more meaningful to explore that Virtual Companion APP.

After tapping on his wristwatch, Li Teng opened the APP and started to read the instructions carefully.

This APP could materialize the women he thought of, turning them into physical entities.

The materialized women would be endowed with the personalities, voices, language idiosyncrasies, movement traits, and reactions to various things from his memories of them, striving to be as close to the original as possible.

Currently, it was only possible to materialize five women.

These slots couldn't be reused; once one was used, it was gone.

To materialize more women, after the initial five, each additional one would require 100 points.

Five... that should be enough.

Li Teng originally thought there would only be one!

That was a pleasant surprise.

Who to materialize first?

Let's try Anna.

It's been a long time since he saw her; he wondered how different the materialized Anna would be from the real Anna.

Following the operation prompt, he carefully recalled Anna in his mind, and then Anna's avatar appeared in the APP on his wristwatch.

Li Teng tapped on Anna's avatar.

Beneath the avatar, a progress bar appeared.

The progress bar for the materialization of the entity.

It moved slowly; it looked like it would take at least half an hour to complete.

That was frustrating.

Li Teng couldn't wait to touch... no, to see how powerful this APP was.

Luckily, it could run in the background.

Li Teng opened the QiDian Reading APP and started reading a web novel.

With these APPs, the top of the stone pillar was no longer so boring.

After reading dozens of chapters of the web novel, the process of materializing the virtual companion in the background finally reached one hundred percent.

A prompt appeared on the screen, asking if he wished to summon her now.

Li Teng clicked confirm.

The next moment, Anna appeared on top of Li Teng's stone pillar.

"How did I end up here?" Anna looked surprised.

It seemed... this virtual Anna did not know she wasn't the real Anna?

"I don't know why you're here either. What's your latest memory? Where were you? I'll help you figure out what's going on," Li Teng probed this virtual Anna.

"My latest memory... didn't we just part ways at the Film and Television City?" Anna gave Li Teng a sideways glance.

Indeed, her current memories were only those Li Teng had of her.

The things about her that Li Teng didn't know, she couldn't know either.

This virtual her was in fact a virtual entity pieced together from Li Teng's memories of her.

"What's your earliest memory?" Li Teng asked another question.

"Acting in that 'Furious Speed on Desperate Road' or something, what about it?" Anna replied to Li Teng.

Indeed, the start and end points of her memory were exactly the Anna from Li Teng's memories.

"Nothing, haha, you're finally in my hands," Li Teng laughed triumphantly.

"Stop with that boring joke! Not in the mood!" Anna turned her head away.

Li Teng tried to put his hand on her shoulder.

But it was pushed away.

Li Teng shifted his bottom, scooting up next to her and sat down against her.

"Don't sit so close to me!" Anna pushed Li Teng hard to the side.

"Don't be like that!" Li Teng chuckled as he stretched out his hand, trying to embrace Anna.

But Anna quickly stood up, twisting Li Teng's arm behind his back and pinning him to the ground.

Li Teng hadn't recharged to his peak state, and was old and frail. Caught off guard, he didn't react in time, and his face was pressed against the top of the stone pillar.

"Damn it!" Li Teng cursed inwardly.

What kind of crap APP is this? Asking for a beating?

"What are you trying to do?" Anna was also very angry.

"You hurt me." Li Teng was all bones, how could he withstand such twisting?

"Promise me you won't mess around anymore!" Anna didn't let go of his hand.

"Fine, I promise." Li Teng rolled his eyes... Was the Anna in his memories always like this?

Only then did Anna let go of his hand and sat a little further away, looking at Li Teng with caution.

"I have a huge harem! If you don't play with me, I'll just switch to another." Li Teng tapped Anna's avatar and put her away.

Then he established a new virtual companion.

Cute Little Bunny!

I wonder what the consequences of bullying Little Bunny are?

...

After another half-hour wait, Liu Yin appeared at the top of the stone pillar.

"What... what place is this?"

After Liu Yin appeared, she looked around and instinctively grabbed Li Teng's hand.

Her own stone pillar was wide and thick, she had never been on one as narrow as Li Teng's and obviously felt terrified.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Li Teng embraced Liu Yin.

"How did I end up here? Is this your stone pillar?" Liu Yin seemed to realize something.

"Yeah, I don't know why you're here either, maybe it's fate?" Li Teng leaned in close to Liu Yin's neck and started to do some restless things.

"What are you doing?" Liu Yin noticed something was off, shifted her body to the side a bit, and glared at Li Teng with blushing cheeks.

"Not doing anything... just... hehe... you know... hahaha..." Li Teng moved in closer again.

"Stop that, you're not like this in my memories, you're a good person. If you do this, I'll think you're a bad man and I'll never dare to get close to you again." Liu Yin began to push Li Teng away.

"I've hugged you before, why can't I do it now?" Li Teng expressed his displeasure.

"The you from before, in my eyes, was a big brother who could provide a sense of security. This you feels so strange to me..." Liu Yin tried to sit further away, even though she was scared of heights, she seemed more afraid of Li Teng now.

"Ahem... this..."

Although Li Teng knew this Liu Yin was just virtually created, he still felt a bit embarrassed after hearing her say that.

It seemed that if he wanted to do anything further with Anna and Little Bunny, he must first recharge to his peak state, then resort to force.

Even if it's virtual, this mental barrier is quite tough!

Think again.

Put Little Bunny away and switch to the third companion.

...

Another half-hour passed.

Yao Xue appeared at the top of the stone pillar.

"You're back? Are you alright?" Yao Xue looked at Li Teng, seemingly excited, and even reached out to touch his forehead.

Li Teng remembered the time he was nearly killed by hail and was airlifted away.

That was the last memory he had of Yao Xue.

Now Yao Xue's memory was picking up from that point, hence her reaction.

She wouldn't reject him, right?

Hehe.
