0090: [Your Highness, have you already guessed something?]
Li Yuheng walked slowly with his hands in his pockets, a faint smile playing on his lips: "Not sure, but I'm starting to get a clue."
0090: [How so?]
Li Yuheng snorted lightly: "I'll say whatever I want."
He paused, shook his head dramatically, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh dear, I don't know which system it is, but the host has to clear the dungeons in the small world on their own. They just gave us the original plot and didn't even give us any hints."
0090 silently rolled his eyes in the virtual space.
If it had a physical form, it would definitely be giving Li Yuheng the middle finger right now.
It thought resentfully: If this prince hadn't forcibly entered this world, would it be in such a chaotic mess?!
Besides, it's only a B-level system. It's already quite an achievement to get the original storyline!
0090 grew angrier the more she thought about it, and finally retorted in a cowardly tone: [Your Highness, how can you blame me? Blame those old fogies in the Quick Transmigration Bureau for refusing to approve my upgrade application! Every time I submit a report, they say "system resources are strained," "B-level is enough," "we need to save on expenses"...]
It got more and more agitated as it spoke: "I can't even get a physical skin! The S-level system next door has already changed to its third limited edition skin!"
Li Yuheng raised an eyebrow: "Oh? So you've given up and are just going to do whatever you want?"
0090: [...]
It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make any sense at all.
"...Your Highness, let's focus on the current task."
Li Yuheng scoffed, "Cowardly."
But...
It's as if this little system has barely grasped a fraction of the prince's essence: "passing the buck and putting oneself first"...
As the most brilliant, dashing, handsome, dignified, intelligent, brave, and compassionate (eight hundred words of flattery omitted here) super invincible supreme male protagonist in the entire universe, let's reluctantly give him something.
Li Yuheng curled his lip in disdain, and a cluster of ghostly blue flames suddenly ignited at his fingertips, drawing a graceful arc in the air.
“Little system, watch closely—” he said lazily, drawing out the last syllable, “Today I’ll show you what ‘the Crown Prince’s favor’ really means.”
Before 0090 could react, it felt a powerful energy surge into its core program, and the data stream instantly began to boil!
[WARNING! Unknown energy intrusion! System firewall about to crash!]
A piercing alarm blared throughout the virtual space.
0090 watched in horror as its code was rewritten layer by layer, core privileges were forcibly breached, and the entire system architecture was being reconstructed and upgraded at an alarming speed.
[Your Highness! What are you doing?!] 0090's voice even changed tone.
Li Yuheng yawned casually: "I'm just giving you a level up, what's the big deal?"
The will-o'-the-wisp at his fingertips split into countless tiny runes, which, like living things, burrowed into the void, precisely rewriting one system module after another.
[Level A permissions unlocked... Level S function modules loading... Physical program implantation complete...]
0090 stared blankly at its brand-new control panel. All the S-level functions that were once out of reach were now lit up in the green light, and there were even a few special modules that it had never seen before!
"That's impossible..." 0090 stammered. "The Quick Transmigration Bureau has strict regulations. System upgrades must be approved by headquarters; unauthorized upgrades are a serious crime!"
"Rules?" Li Yuheng arrogantly raised his chin. "I am the rule."
As soon as Li Yuheng finished speaking, the virtual panel of 0090 suddenly started flashing wildly, and a piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire system space:
[WARNING! Unauthorized upgrade detected!]
[WARNING! System 0090 has exceeded Class B restrictions without authorization!]
[Warning! The Quick Transmigration Bureau headquarters has launched an investigation!]
0090: [We're doomed! We're doomed! Your Highness! We've been discovered!]
Li Yuheng casually waved his hand, and the will-o'-the-wisps condensed in the air into a line of arrogant characters:
Mind your own business.
—Li Yuheng
With a flick of his finger, the letter pierced through the void with a "whoosh" and headed straight for the headquarters of the Quick Transmigration Bureau.
Within seconds, the warning sound stopped immediately.
...
Quick Transmigration Bureau Headquarters
The bureau chief stared at the letter in his hand and fell into a long silence.
Finally, he suddenly covered his face and slammed his fist on the table: "I've been set up!"
Looking back now, he shouldn't have drunk so much at that drinking party!
That night, his superior, Yama, suddenly came to him with a bottle of wine. As they drank and chatted, Yama put his arm around his shoulder and said drunkenly, "Brother, I have a naughty kid at home. Could you leave him with me for a bit?"
"No problem!" the bureau chief assured him, patting his chest. "I'm the best at managing unruly kids!"
Yama's eyes lit up: "Then sign it now!"
"Sure!"
Looking back now, I was so young...
The bureau chief touched his bald head and let out a long sigh.
...
0090: [...]
It now finally understands why Li Yuheng was able to become the crown prince.
This is beyond just being "arrogant"; it's downright "lawless"!
But what shocked it even more was—
[Your Highness, how do you possess the ability to rewrite system permissions?!]
Is it difficult?
0090: [...]
Is this a question of "difficulty" or "difficulty"?!
This is the core technology of the Quick Transmigration Bureau!
Even the S-level system cannot upgrade itself, let alone upgrade other systems!
Seeing that 0090 hadn't said anything for a while, Li Yuheng impatiently urged, "Hey, little system, are you done upgrading? Don't tell me you can't even digest this little bit of energy."
0090, as if waking from a dream, quickly checked his new features: [Upgrade complete! Current system level: S+! Long live the Crown Prince! May you and your wife, Shubai, enjoy a long and happy marriage!]
Li Yuheng gave a cool "hmm," his lips just about to curl into the typical domineering CEO smile, a smile that was three parts indifferent and seven parts mocking.
As a result, his mouth suddenly and uncontrollably stretched into the shape of the Nike logo, specifically the latest Air Jordan design.
Li Yuheng continued to stroll through the streets of the town, as if he had just casually thrown away some trash, rather than forcibly upgrading a B-level system to S+ level.
0090 was extremely excited: [Your Highness! I can now scan the entire town for you! ...Shu Bai has been detected approximately 50 meters to your right rear...?!]
Li Yuheng's lips instantly curled up to the sky, and his walking posture immediately changed from "leisurely stroll" to "peacock spreading its tail", with even the strands of hair starting to sway flirtatiously.
He flicked his non-existent bangs at the air and thought smugly to himself, "Little system, what did I say when I first entered the dungeon? My wife was secretly watching me, wasn't she?"
[...Your Highness, Shu Bai is banging his head against the wall.]
"What?!" Li Yuheng raised his leg to rush over there, but stopped abruptly after taking two steps.
He straightened his collar and coughed twice in a deliberately deep voice: "Oh, no no no. No, I can't go."
0090: [?]
"Um?"
Li Yuheng suddenly became serious, carefully observing the pedestrians on the street, gently stroking his chin with his fingertips, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the townspeople and the players.
Several townspeople walked past the old woman without even lifting their eyelids, as if she didn't exist.
Several players in the distance walked around in fear, clearly able to see the hunched figure.
The stark contrast brought a playful smile to his lips.
"It seems that the setting of this instance is more interesting than I imagined."
He withdrew his gaze, then recalled the previous topic, and resumed his inscrutable expression: "We need to get Xiao Shubai to learn to come to me on her own initiative. This is a strategy, understand?"
"Love is like flying a kite; you have to keep it taut but not too tight. If I rush over now, he'll definitely turn back into a hedgehog."
As she spoke, her gaze inadvertently drifted to the old woman whom the players avoided at all costs, "Just like the relationship between these NPCs and players, sometimes what is visible and what is invisible depends entirely on the rules."
