Tatehan was startled with surprise.
Yes?!
Yes?!
That was shocking. Genuinely shocking. He blinked at the glowing text, his mind momentarily blank as he processed what he'd just read.
He hadn't actually expected a positive answer. Not really. He'd asked the question more out of curiosity than genuine hope, half-expecting the system to respond with something vague or dismissive. Maybe a simple [No additional uses available] or [Cores are single-purpose items] or some other bland, unhelpful response.
But instead, it had said yes.
Why had he even asked in the first place? Was it because he really wanted to know if there was something else he could do with the cores? Or had he just wanted to test the system, to see how it would respond, to poke at the boundaries of what it was willing to tell him?
Regardless, it had worked.
Another notification appeared, the text scrolling smoothly across his vision.
[There are many things the cores can help you with.]
