50: Chapter 50 The Evil Cyber ​​Capitalists!

Su Ming moved his mind, pulling up his latest attribute panel.

A blue light screen unfolded within his consciousness.

[Host: Su Ming]

[Realm: Tier 2 Bronze]

[Life Form: First Life Form (Carbon-based Mortal)]

[True Mass: 1020.1 kg (+)]

[mass points: 650]

[Promotion Progress: 10.2%]

[Talent: SSS-rank · Infinite Mass Evolution (Unique)]

[Sequences: Mass Amplification, Mass Reconstruction, Mass Devour]

[Redeemed: Mass Engine, Mass Mastery]

[Space: 100 cubic meters (+)]

Three major talent sequences, two redeemed skills, and five ability slots.

In the shop, "Mass Concealment" was still hanging there, waiting for him to save up enough to pay for it.

Su Ming stared at this panel for three seconds.

Honestly, it looked pretty cool.

As he kept looking, Su Ming's brows furrowed.

"The efficiency is still too low!"

He hadn't failed to consider swallowing everything within his sight, such as black soil, bricks, distant mountain rocks, or even the ocean if he saw it in the future.

But he didn't do that, mainly because of issues with time and conversion rates.

Spending a minute to swallow a brick yielded 1 point. Swallowing a handful of dirt yielded a minimum of only 0.01. This efficiency was as good as nothing.

As a theoretical academic high-achiever, combined with a deep understanding of transmigrator laws and system-genre web novels.

He was very clear that such an heaven-defying ability couldn't possibly be without limitations.

Just now, swallowing that massive Tier 3 Hyena King also took exactly one minute.

Previously, swallowing the astonishingly heavy panshi robot also took one minute.

There must be a reason for this.

If he couldn't figure it out, he would just ask.

This was the inherent right of every transmigrator.

"System, I have a question. Can I swallow a mountain? Or, can I swallow the water of an entire lake?"

The system was silent for a full three seconds, as if analyzing the stupidity of this question.

[The host is dreaming.]

Su Ming's face darkened.

"System, are you being polite?"

"I'm asking you a question properly, and you actually insulted me!"

[The host's current Devour ability is limited by two rigid metrics: the volume limit per contact, and the average density of the target object.]

[Current stage: The volume limit for a single Devour is 10 cubic meters, and the minimum density is 1g/cm³.]

[If the volume exceeds the limit, it must be swallowed in batches, and contact must be maintained for 1 minute each time. Regardless of how much is swallowed, only the minimum benefit is obtained.]

Su Ming couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.

A small mountain would be at least several thousand to ten thousand cubic meters. Even if he stood still and swallowed 10 cubic meters per minute, it would take several hours.

Not to mention that most of the mountain consists of soil and rubble, with an average density of only around 1.5 g/cm³. He would spend all that effort to swallow a ton of dirt and only get 1.5 mass points?

This isn't high-level martial arts. This is mythology!

It's like the Foolish Old Man moving the mountains, and the free kind at that.

"Then is there any way to increase these limits?"

He wasn't ready to give up.

[As the host's life form evolves, both the volume limit and density minimum will increase synchronously. When the host evolves to the Fourth Life Form 'Celestial Evolution', you can initially realize your dream of swallowing mountains.]

"..."

He was still ninety-nine tons away from the Second Life Form, and it was already giving him pie-in-the-sky promises about the Fourth Form?

"And having to maintain contact for one minute every time, manual operation, it's too stupid! It feels robotic, no transmigrator experience at all!"

Su Ming began his shameless probing, "I'm out here working hard and risking my life, can't you, as my logistics department, be a bit more helpful?"

The baby who cries gets the candy. A shameless bootlicker... will only end up paying more!

"System!" He raised his voice.

"I've upgraded to a PLUS membership now, don't you have some supporting intelligent services or something?"

"It's the era of high-level martial arts already, and you're still using manual transmission? Can't you give me an automatic transmission?"

"...Just throw things into the system space, and you can silently digest them in the background, wouldn't that be the end of it!"

He had actually had this idea for a long time.

The system space was one hundred cubic meters and supported conscious control. If the space itself could complete the Devour process for him, he would only need to be responsible for stuffing things inside.

Fighting is fighting, digestion is digestion. With two lines running in parallel, the efficiency would directly double.

...

The system was silent again. A minute passed. Three minutes. Five minutes.

Su Ming started to panic. "System?" "Hello, are you there?" "Hey, hey, hey, System, don't play dead!" "I'm about to send a red envelope..."

Just as he thought the system had crashed...

[Ding! Detected the host's high-level service request.]

[Functional module "Space Steward" has been generated.]

[Effect: For all ownerless items stored in the system space, after the host issues the instruction, there is no need for continuous conscious intervention; automatic sequence Devour can be performed in the background.]

[Unlock cost: 5000 mass points.]

Su Ming's eyes lit up. Then the brightness faded.

"Five thousand?!" He jumped straight up, his voice cracking.

"It only takes me ten thousand mass points in total to upgrade to Tier 3 Silver!"

"You want half my life just to generate a small feature?"

"Just swallow me and recycle me!"

The system was silent for a moment.

[Ding! Received host's request, currently evaluating host's assets...]

Su Ming froze. "Damn! Brother System! System Daddy! I was joking, please don't take it seriously!"

He chickened out. Good times were just beginning!

[...Detected that the host's current True Mass is severely insufficient; the request for debt repayment via human body is rejected.]

[Conclusion: Host's life level is too low, residual value is negative, unable to recycle.]

"..." Su Ming stood in the wind of the Ash Belt, motionless.

Being judged by his own system as having "negative residual value." This blow was even worse than Zhao Kuo awakening an S-rank in public.

A wave of immense sadness welled up in his heart. He gritted his teeth. He silently picked up his shattered self-esteem from the floor and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Fine, fine, since I'm already here!"

"I'll save up, is that not enough! A mere five thousand points, I'll just kill a few more Tier 3 exotic beasts and I'll have it!"

However, the system's cold voice rang out again.

[Permission correction: "Space Steward" is a paid subscription feature.]

Su Ming's heart skipped a beat.

[Monthly fee: 2000 mass points.]

"Monthly subscription?"

[For every automatic Devour output, the system will deduct 5% as a management service fee.]

"A cut?!"

[If you need a permanent buyout, you need to pay 1,000,000 mass points.]

Su Ming was completely petrified.

He thought he was buying a house with an exorbitant price, but the system told him it was for rent only, not for sale.

Two thousand in monthly rent, and it even has a damn property management cut! Permanent property rights? Sure, one million mass points, thank you.

"Why don't you just go rob someone?" Su Ming's throat was hoarse.

[This system does not engage in robbery, it is suggested that the host resolve it themselves.]

"You wicked cyber capitalist!"

Su Ming's memories of the 996 work schedule from his previous life instantly flooded his mind.

"I'm out here working hard to lay bricks, and you want to take a five percent cut without doing anything?!"

The system's mechanical voice was neither hurried nor slow, full of the rigor of business logic:

[Reminder: In the outside world, whether it's civilian storage bracelets or military independent hidden warehouses, the unit prices are high, and there is physical latency in storage and retrieval, plus the risk of privacy leakage.]

[The Space Steward provides T0-level, soul-bound, highest-sequence subspace service. Whether the host is running away, fighting, or sleeping, the background can seamlessly perform automatic slicing, purification, and digestion, ensuring 100% loss-free energy conversion.]

[Please imagine, in the midst of a chaotic abyss battle, the host only needs to step over mountains of beast corpses and advanced mecha wreckage without stopping for even a second, and all the loot will be automatically converted into the host's armor and power in the background.]

[May I ask the host, in a rapidly changing life-and-death struggle, is this 5% service fee really expensive for buying a soul assistant that can automatically loot corpses, automatically digest, and is absolutely safe?]
