They just exchanged a few simple words, and soon 11 minutes had passed. At this point, the sky above them turned dark red.
At first, the red sky seemed like a kind of celestial light. Then, Lin Yan noticed it began to take shape, becoming solid with edges and angles. As the sky solidified, the night sky above them seemed to transform into a huge dark red gem.
Lin Yan was mesmerized, and Mike said, "It's the reboot effect. The power supply is insufficient, and the system is starting to shut down. This world is about to reboot."
"Reboot?" Lin Yan asked.
"Yes, when we enter next time, everything will loop again. What happened before will occur once more. Unfortunately, this world won't be put to use; it's just a fragmentary copy kept for my own reasons, destined never to develop," Mike said.
"You should design a state machine to save the world's progress. Maybe each world could be useful," Lin Yan said.
