Chapter 152: A Module?!
"No way! Absolutely not!"
The consciousness of the stone pillar quietly hovered above the stool on the other side.
A thousand ripples stirred within Mo Fangyuan's heart. Surely the meaning it wanted to convey wasn't just the literal one on the surface?
A cautious captain sails for ten thousand years.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Mo Fangyuan finally decided to probe it once more to see if it aligned with his suspicions.
"My otherworldly friend, what is your view on the Cube Kingdom?"
"Uhm... It's very interesting!"
"Interesting?"
"Mhmhm, your people are very interesting, and those things called forms of entertainment are also very interesting..."
The consciousness of the stone pillar seemed to have found its favorite hobby and began to speak endlessly.
"That entertainment you people do on the bed at night looks rather interesting. Both people doing that entertainment looked quite comfortable, I really want to try it..."
"Forget it! I really was just deceiving myself!"
Mo Fangyuan was now certain that all the information he had analyzed earlier was entirely a product of his own overthinking! The meaning the stone pillar consciousness wished to express was precisely the words themselves! There were no hidden, behind-the-scenes implications at all!
Mo Fangyuan almost wanted to cover his face.
The scene of him racking his brains earlier to decipher what its words truly meant was utterly ridiculous.
"I never expected I'd crash and burn like this one day..."
"Ahem..."
Mo Fangyuan coughed lightly twice to adjust his state of mind.
Since the stone pillar consciousness before him was indeed as pure and ignorant as Zhang Lingyun's intelligence report suggested, it would be much easier to handle. Just a slight trick would be enough to stabilize it and make it obediently work for the Cube Kingdom.
"Then my dear friend, you can join our Cube Kingdom. That way you can play without any restrictions..."
Mo Fangyuan coaxed the innocent stone pillar consciousness before him without a blush or a skipped heartbeat.
"Join?"
"Ha, literally just means you can engage in any recreational activities within the Cube Kingdom, play everywhere..."
Pulling out a long agreement, Mo Fangyuan once again displayed his humanized smile.
"Can I also do that kind of entertainment at night where you go up and down, in and out, and it feels very comfortable?"
"Of course you can, as long as you have the ability to perform that recreational activity... You can play any allowed recreational activity within the Cube Kingdom."
Mo Fangyuan paid no attention to the "night activities" mentioned by the stone pillar consciousness. How could a tiny experience orb, lacking both the ability and the tools, ever do such a thing?
Rubbing against it with himself? You've got to be kidding! Mo Fangyuan had never seen such a tiny tool!
It wasn't even a living entity, how could it possibly perform in-and-out actions? Right?
"As long as you join the Cube Kingdom, you can play that kind of nighttime entertainment however you want, play it all night long..."
"I remember that activity requires two people to cooperate... So can you play with me?"
"Of course, as long as I have time, we can play however you want, any posture you choose..."
The primary task right now was to lure this stone pillar consciousness into the Cube Kingdom faction. That was the most important thing; everything else could be neglected.
Mo Fangyuan immediately agreed to the stone pillar consciousness's demand. Anyway, it couldn't possibly pull off that stunt, so what harm was there in agreeing?
"Come on! Sign it. As long as you sign it, you can engage in all sorts of interesting recreational activities, including playing with me..."
Moving the agreement to the front of the stone pillar consciousness and looking at the densely packed Overworld text within the agreement, the colorful experience orb became entirely confused.
"But if I join you, I'll turn into your shape, and I'll fuse together with you, wuwuwu..."
"It's fine. As long as you join us, you are one of us. Under normal circumstances, we never abandon our own people..."
Mo Fangyuan also determined that this stone pillar consciousness was indeed very naive, carrying a strong childish streak.
"What are you waiting for? As long as you sign this contract and admit your membership in the Cube Kingdom, then today... every single night you can engage in that in-and-out entertainment!"
Mo Fangyuan did not care. As long as there was a method to make the stone pillar consciousness join the Cube Kingdom, Mo Fangyuan would give it a try.
As for how to explain things tonight, he would just say that it lacked the tools or possessed too small a structure to perform those extremely comfortable activities, but that he could take it to play other, even more fun projects.
Children, after all, could be easily placated with some coaxing!
"Mhm... You said this, don't trick me..."
After a brief moment of hesitation, the stone pillar consciousness flew over and circled around Mo Fangyuan once, auditing something, and then spoke.
"Then stick your middle finger up."
"Huh? What?"
Unclear of what it wanted to do, Mo Fangyuan complied nonetheless.
"Whoa!"
The stone pillar consciousness suddenly emitted a strange sound in a strange tone. This sound was soft and delicate, completely inconsistent with its usual style.
Immediately following that, Mo Fangyuan felt himself... no! It should be said that a special change occurred within the Cube-person consciousness space connected to him.
The stone pillar consciousness close to his middle finger also suddenly dispersed, turning into speckled colorful particle effects that radiated throughout the entire lava lake space.
Not only that, the Blade of the Empire also experienced strange emotions for the first time, transmitting feelings of excitement and joy to Mo Fangyuan.
"Ah—this. Shouldn't I have coaxed the stone pillar consciousness into entering the Cube Kingdom, then used various benefits and temptations to completely bind it to the Cube Kingdom's war chariot so it couldn't get off, and then exploited and oppressed it..."
Red and blue particle granules danced all over the entire lava lake.
Facing this spectacular scene, Mo Fangyuan finally realized that the development of events had exceeded his imagination. He had completely failed to anticipate that it would ultimately evolve into this.
"Sluuurp—"
A moment later, the particle granules flying mid-air were guided by some inexplicable force and suddenly flew straight into the towering stone pillar in the middle of the lake island.
This process continued until Mo Fangyuan drew out the Blade of the Empire before finally ending.
"Bang!"
A faint sound of an air blast was heard, and immediately the stone pillar at the center of the lake island cracked open. It split apart!

After the stone pillar completely shattered, countless distorted white symbols scattered outward, flew into Mo Fangyuan's mind to the place he called the Cube-person consciousness space, and then vanished.
Before Mo Fangyuan could check the condition of his body, a completely different otherworldly voice transmitted information into his mind.
Upon receiving the information, Mo Fangyuan was both stunned and shocked.
