“I have retrieved Cheng Lang’s subsystem, but unfortunately he escaped. Humph, I must catch him and get the way to crack Luo Wei’s technique from him.”

170 said, "Okay, I understand. I'll keep an eye out for him and see if he comes looking for Lowe."

The "Emperor System" added, "Cheng Lang isn't entirely loyal to Luo Wei. He's been preparing to leave for a while now. I really want to see Luo Wei's expression when he finds out."

Outside, Lowe, who was resting, showed a slight change in expression, but instantly regained his composure.

He "heard" these conversations, and although he didn't know why he could hear them, it didn't stop him from being pleasantly surprised.

After closing his eyes and considering for a few breaths, he probed 170, also warning it, "Did the main system just come by?"

170 per meal, "...Yes."

It was surprised and suspicious. Had Lowe's skills improved again? How could he be so perceptive? He even detected the main system's sneaky arrival?

Did he hear his own conversation with the main system? Did he doubt that he had been restored to his original state?

"What did the main system say?"

170 perked up, “It told me it had taken back Cheng Lang’s subsystem, saying he seemed to have treacherous intentions.”

"Anything else?" Lowe asked subtly.

The 170 system made two beeping sounds as the program ran at high speed. "...It wants to capture Cheng Lang so that it can send someone to take control of the Canal Gang."

Lovi smiled with satisfaction. "Really?"

He then fell silent, making 170 uneasy. It dared not contact the main system, trembling with fear of Lowe's unfathomable nature.

Recently, forces within the Great Sheng territory have been destroyed one after another, and Snow Sand Valley has also been wiped out. Lovi is furious and on the verge of exploding.

It was truly afraid that if he knew he had recovered, he would be so enraged that he would choose to perish together with it.

Of course, the system doesn't want to die if it can live.

Xiao Zhixing also smiled. Once Luo Wei confirmed the authenticity of the information, the Emperor System would begin its pursuit of Cheng Lang again.

If she exerts a little more effort in the middle, where can Cheng Lang escape to? If she operates well, she might even be forced to pick up the scraps and profit innocently.

However, this person should not be given important responsibilities. After he takes control of the canal transport, he can retire gracefully. Whether he retires peacefully or dies at sea depends on his performance.

As for the main system, it will find that 179 is missing.

Oh, I'm sorry, it must have been swallowed by Lovi.

She has figured out the relationships and can now make Lowe take the blame for even more things.

The main system will definitely suspect Love first.

It's even more likely to get all prickly.

The fact that a human could devour the system terrified it more than anything else.

Be wary, be cautious.

Let them fight, the more exciting the better.

It would be even better if we could use up the powerful thermal weapons in its space.

Sure enough, the royal guards found Cheng Lang's address and immediately sent men to arrest him.

With protection from Xiao Zhixing and Cheng Lang's own people, Cheng Lang, who was in a weakened state after his system was taken away, managed to evade capture several times and hide in a sorry state.

However, that route vaguely points to the Northern State.

The main system was already impatient, and it did indeed want to obtain Luo Wei's cultivation technique through Cheng Lang.

In order to restrain and break him.

But this person was too difficult to catch, so it opened a communication channel with 179, intending to use it to locate Cheng Lang's location.

"Um?"

The Emperor System thought it had made a mistake and restarted the program to contact 179.

The result was a blank page.

"Could it be that Cheng Lang has completely taken control of it?" The Emperor System became serious.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to be unable to make contact, or even sense the slightest electronic fluctuation.

Zhao Yunqi asked, "What's wrong?"

The Emperor System calmed down. "179 has disappeared. I suspect that Cheng Lang has completely taken control of it!"

Zhao Yunqi frowned. "Luo Wei's martial arts are that powerful?"

The Emperor System was shocked and furious. "Yes, I underestimated him. Cheng Lang learned from Luo Wei and he's already this powerful..."

Zhao Yunqi pondered, "Is it possible that Lowe swallowed 179?"

After all, Cheng Lang couldn't possibly destroy his own foundation; his weak appearance strongly suggested that his system had been taken away.

The Emperor System exclaimed sharply, "Impossible!"

That's simply impossible.

It's possible if the host were to retaliate against its own subsystem, since the two are connected.

It is absolutely impossible for an outsider to remotely devour the system of a host...

The Emperor System couldn't help but panic. Could it really be possible?

He frantically scanned for 179's trail.

No, absolutely not!

If it weren't for the records in its backend, it would have doubted that it had ever split 179.

It couldn't help but contact other subsystems for scanning, and they were all normal.

Except for 170 and 179!

No, no, there's also Feng Lizhen's 172. When it tried to command the other party, it malfunctioned, and the next moment it even lost contact.

The Emperor System was furious and it took a long time for it to calm down.

"No, let's assume that Lowe really did devour 179. Why would he devour it?"

Feng Lizhen's subsystem still exists, as does the other subsystem of the Northern Barbarians.

Zhao Yunqi guessed, "Perhaps Cheng Lang did something to anger Luo Wei."

The Emperor System is now in complete chaos, and I deeply regret trusting Lowe back then.

Of the three subsystems he sent out, Feng Lizhen's 172 and Cheng Lang's 179 are basically gone.

The Northern Barbarians' 177 is still under consideration, along with Lovi's 170.

Four of them were basically ruined, and it was incredibly painful for them.

First, there was the inability to create new subsystems, and now three old ones have been directly lost, which are the three most widely deployed among them.
