Chapter 116 The Truth About Smuggling
"Mall merchandise is sold at a hundredfold profit, and non-essential tasks are issued independently, forcing the host to complete them or punishing them. The selected task worlds are all high-risk, and rewards are withheld after the tasks are completed.
The points involved in the case are as high as 350 million points, System 4348, do you admit it? "
"yes……"
"Secondly, you secretly opened a world passage. Even though you knew that the current host had already changed his world of origin, you still sent the current host, whose code name was Zhang Moyu, back to the original world as a stowaway.
This has seriously disrupted the world order and caused the Rose Sea Group's love system 009 to malfunction, binding it to the same host as you. Do you acknowledge this?"
"yes……"
4348 replied weakly, feeling like he had thrown in the towel.
"Later, you will need to pay a price to the consciousness of the Tomb Raider World and the Horror World, and accept the collective punishment upon returning to the group. As for your host, after investigation, it was discovered that they were unaware of your actions, and the group will not take any action.
After negotiations between the two worlds, his world of origin will be transferred back to the tomb-robbing world, and the unfair treatment he suffered will be compensated by the consciousness of the tomb-robbing world.
At this point, do you two have any questions?"
Neither the horror system nor Zhang Moyu had any objections, and this handling was fair.
"Can I ask 4348 a question?"
He particularly wanted to know why the Thriller System would take such a huge risk to send him back.
Although during the time when he was the host, he tried his best to save enough points to buy the pure white wishing crystal, and he never compromised on the tasks issued by the system.
But even so, it wouldn't make 4348, who has always been full of malice towards him, turn back to the right path, and risk his life to help him, right?
After getting a nod from Bai Jiu, Zhang Moyu turned his gaze to 4348.
"Why did you send me back?"
When 4348 heard this question, the already limp sphere suddenly slumped a little, and answered in a dull and calm tone.
"You don't know? Yeah, how could you understand?"
4348 muttered to himself, his emotions suddenly becoming agitated.
"One thousand seven hundred and ninety-five years! Do you know how I have survived these six hundred and fifty thousand days and nights?
We are shocked that the system calculates performance based on souls!
Other systems can deliver a high-quality host soul every three to five months on average, but it's me! Only me!
Ever since I became attached to you, my performance has been at the bottom of the heap every year. I've gone from being a top star in the horror world to a laughingstock."
When talking about this matter, 4348 wanted to burst into tears and slap himself into a pig's head for choosing to bind himself to Zhang Moyu!
During the first three years, it was particularly pleased with the rapid improvement in the quality of its host's soul, and its various abilities were so strong. If it died, it would definitely become a big boss in the strange world. These were all its achievements.
Even if the host dies of old age, it is only a short hundred years. A hundred years of time to cultivate a top-quality soul, this level of commission will make it laugh in its dreams, which is too much money.
As a result, after that, it waited for thirty years, and then thirty years later, the host was still as young and beautiful as before, with no wrinkles on the face and not even a single white hair on the head.
It then asked its superior and got the answer that people with bloodlines live longer than ordinary people.
At first, it didn't care. According to the growth rate of its host's soul, it could make money within 500 years of life. It was just a matter of how much.
But during a later mission, it accidentally discovered the seriousness of the matter.
Because Zhang Moyu's blood concentration is very high and his bones are naturally talented, even if he doesn't have any good cultivation techniques, his body is constantly absorbing spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in the tomb-robbing world is thin, and the power and potential of Qilin blood are infinitely compressed, but it is different in the horror world.
Yin Qi and spiritual energy can also be transformed into each other after being refined.
The final result was that Zhang Moyu's lifespan was extended again and again with the blessing of spiritual energy.
According to 4348's calculations, if Zhang Moyu continues to stay in the horror world, theoretically he can live for at least another three thousand years. During this period, he will continue to learn and improve, and eventually grow into a "nail house" that the horror world cannot get rid of.
Frightened by his own calculations, 4348 made a prompt decision and chose to send his host to reincarnate as a weird boss, but found it was too late.
Zhang Moyu was too powerful. It had planned countless times, but none of them succeeded.
As for allowing the host to obtain the highest level wishing crystal and make a wish to go home to unbind the option, this was not considered by 4348 from the beginning.
Not to mention that this thing hung by the world consciousness was originally intended to give the hosts a vague hope, but whether it can be realized is still another matter.
Even if it can be realized, according to the stingy nature of the horror world, all the costs required for its realization will definitely have to be paid by bringing out this troublesome system.
Every transaction between the worlds is priced sky-high, and 4348 doesn't think he can afford that kind of price.
After much deliberation, 4348 didn't want to lose everything, so he had to take the risk and trick the host back into the tomb-raiding world.
Wait in that place where the spiritual energy is so thin that the host can survive the rest of his life, and then bring the soul back to the horror world.
In this spiritually-defunct era of the tomb-robbing world, without the automatic cultivation bonus of the Qilin bloodline, Zhang Moyu could only live for more than two hundred years at best given his current condition.
Two hundred versus three thousand, this is a comparison of size, even a fool knows how to choose, it's just a matter of taking some risks, it's not like there haven't been systems doing this before in the system world.
However, it didn't expect that it was so unlucky that it ran into 009 who was assigned a mission. The two systems also came together by incredible coincidence, so it was difficult for it not to be discovered.
"I see."
After knowing the truth, Zhang Moyu looked at 4348 with a hint of pity. Binding himself to him as the host might be the most wrong decision 4348 had ever made in his life.
"Child...child, is there anything you want?"
The consciousness of the tomb-raiding world reminded Zhang Moyu, expecting its obedient and sensible former son of destiny to ask its new mother if there was anything she needed.
The expression on Zhang Moyu's face softened in a second. He tilted his head and looked over with admiration, causing the world consciousness to lose itself in an instant, and the entire consciousness sphere exuded a kind atmosphere.
"I don't ask for anything else, as long as you are happy."
After deliberately pausing for a second, Zhang Moyu's eyes suddenly dimmed again and he said with a lonely look.
“It’s a pity that the Zhang family is gone now, and my former family and friends are also…sigh.
If the Zhang family only had this little bit of support left, we could actually do more for you.
In the Dharma Ending Age, Qilin is no longer needed. Perhaps in a few years, I will no longer be around."
As soon as these sad words were spoken, the world consciousness felt as if a knife had been stabbed in its heart, making its mood sour and depressed.
But then I thought, it is the world consciousness!
There is nothing it can't do. It doesn't want to see its cub looking so lonely, which makes it unhappy.
Why not send a few little Qilin to your own cub? It won’t take much effort anyway. Can a few little Qilin really change the situation in the world?
He made a hasty decision without paying close attention to the Zhang family's world consciousness. He flipped through the information he had recorded again and again and finally found a harmonious way to give it away.
"My child, look here. There are several Qilin corpses of Zhang family members with good bloodlines... I will revive them when the time comes, and you can take over."
Finally getting the reward he wanted, Zhang Moyu sincerely expressed his surprise and gratitude.
The world consciousness projected a three-dimensional picture in front of him. Zhang Moyu looked at the terrain and it seemed familiar. Isn't this the tomb that Jie Yuchen found for him?
What a coincidence! Shouldn't we say that he is a person with great merits and good luck?
