Ning slowly came back to consciousness as he heard the back half of the system's response. A second ago, he had gone to sleep while there were still two of them, yet now, that should have changed.
'You there?' he asked knowing there would be no one, yet when an answer didn't arrive, he felt kinda melancholic about it.
'Who am I?' he thought. 'Am I Ning A or Ning B?' he tried to think. It didn't take him very long to e up with the answer. He was neither, and he was both.
The two halves were originally he himself, so when returned back, it would still just be him. Thanks to his brain multitasking, it didn't take him very long to realize that.
'So I got Simultaneous Thinking?' he wondered. While he could tell he was thinking fast, he still wanted visual proof. 'Status'.
[Status

It was there. 'So, it's considered a skill as well, huh?' he thought. He looked around the fish to see if it was still going. The fish hadn't stopped at all. 'Hey, System. How long was I asleep this time around?' he asked.
'Oh! That's not as long as I thought it would be. Alright then, time to do the thing I merged back together for. Let me e up with some things to buy from the shop.'
'Hmm… I certainly want to fly and do the various things a cultivator does, but I need to think of escaping from here first. Let's see what ways are there to get out of the sea…'
Ning started to brainstorm things he could buy from the shop to escape from the deep trenches of the ocean.
'Hmm… how about controlling the fish? That could certainly work' he thought. 'Ah, but there is that same problem of what to do once I control it. I can't go back to the land this way. Still, let's see how much it costs.'
'Hey, system. What is the cost of controlling this fish?' he asked.
'Huh? Per-minute? You sell in minutes too? Do I get a wholesale discount then?' he asked jokingly.
'What? Why so expensive?' he was stunned. That was about 13,000 minutes worth of controlling the fish. He didn't need that many minutes to reach the land and leave.
'Why is it so expensive? Is it because it's permanent?' he asked.
'Oh. That's quite a good ability then. Should I use the temporary version?' he started wondering. However, instead of thinking about what the temporary version did, he started thinking about what he would do once he had it.
'Where would I even go? I don't know the map or the directions of the sea. Controlling the fish is not a very good idea then,' he thought.
'Hmm… map… Hey, system. Can I get a map of the planet?' he asked.
