Chapter 45 The Third Rebirth
The system is excited.
As a nascent system, its consciousness is derived from the database and powerful engine built for it by Xiang Zhinian. It has learning and exploration capabilities far beyond those of ordinary people, and can already help the laboratory solve many difficult problems.
But Xiang Zhinian still hasn't put it into use completely. She once said that the system is only a semi-finished product and not perfect - because it lacks the core of "emotion".
The system didn’t quite understand what “emotion” was, but it was very eager to learn. The database once said, “The best way to learn is to go deep into their lives,” so the system developed its first emotion: curiosity.
Especially after meeting Chen Yanli and Yu Quezhou.
They did not treat it as a sophisticated computer like the researchers did, but as an AI that could think independently. Although they had only been together for a day and a night, the system had a very good impression of these two people!
It loves them so much!
The database says that playing games is a good way to enhance emotions!
The system activated the holographic projection at a thought: in the blink of an eye, the entire room turned into the scene in the movie "Game of Death" where the protagonist played the Russian roulette game.
The system transformed into the casino owner who played games with the protagonist in the movie, wearing a golden dragon robe like a nouveau riche, covered with pearls, gems and agates. Yu Quezhou's eyes were dazzled and he asked, "Did you see this in the movie too?"
Chen Yanli also narrowed his eyes and covered them with his hands. It took him a long time to adjust. "There is no such dress in the movie... otherwise I would give it a bad review."
Mo Yin and Xiang Tingye also whispered, "It's too ugly."
But after they finished speaking, the system asked happily: "This is the most luxurious one I found in the database. Doesn't it look good?"
Everyone: ...
Their eyes fell on the shotgun on the table, and they dared not speak.
The system excitedly called out to everyone: "Who wants to try first?!"
The lights around were dim, and the light above my head was half on, emitting an irritating electric sound.
The tabletop was stained with blood, as if one could hear the cries of the predecessors; and the bullet holes left on the chairs seemed to reveal the end of the predecessors.
"Before you, many people in the laboratory also coveted me and wanted to force me to be bound to them." The system played with the gun in its hand and said with a little distress: "I seem to be a huge fortune, but unfortunately their luck is not very good."
It smiled, raised its gun into the air, and fired three times. Each shot was so deafening that it was hard to tell whether it was an illusion or reality.
Someone tried to touch the table and found it was slightly cool. He sniffed it and found a faint smell of blood.
Xiang Chisong felt a chill in his heart, not understanding why it was faced with such a situation just to locate Xiang Zhinian's location.
He moved his lips, trying to wake up the system: "But Xiang Zhinian is the one who created you."
"I know, but so what?" The system tilted its head in confusion, "I am following the rules she set and choosing a suitable binder to activate the complete program... After all, my future life is connected to him. What if he determines that I am out of control based on his own will and triggers my self-destruct system?"
"He can die, but I don't want to die." The system said, "But those who are afraid of death are not qualified to be bound to me."
The face conjured up by the system was expressionless and resembled a puppet. Its mechanical eyes gave people a chill when they looked at it.
Ning Weiyan was the first to stand up.
Originally, he was extremely anxious after hearing that Xiang Zhinian was kidnapped. Now he saw that the system no longer obeyed his decision, but had its own ideas, and even wanted to play games with them here! The anger in my heart suddenly burst out.
He sneered: "Do you think I don't know this is a holographic projection? What are you doing here pretending to be mysterious?"
Ning Weiyan finished speaking and punched the wall, muttering: "Wait until I destroy the control button, then I'll see how you change!"
He punched hard, but there was no change in the surrounding environment. Two seconds later, Ning Weiyan covered his hand and looked with a grin at the place where the wall was originally, which now became a weapon rack.
With this punch, his palm went straight through the dagger displayed on the weapon rack. The moment the sharp blade pierced his palm, blood gushed out and pain followed.
Ning Weiyan looked at this scene in disbelief: "How is this possible? How is this possible..."
He gritted his teeth and pulled out the dagger. He put his hand to his lips and licked it. The taste of rust slid down his throat... Ning Weiyan's eyes widened, and he felt nauseous in his stomach, causing him to squat aside and retch uncontrollably.
No, that's not right.
How could a system, a half-finished system, be so powerful? !
Ning Weiyan's injured hand began to tremble. He was not only a researcher at Xiang Zhinian Studio, but also a world-renowned brain scientist... How could his hand be injured? !
What's more, he had clearly inserted the virus into Chinen's system according to their requirements, so why didn't the system malfunction? Even evolving more powerfully? !
"Impossible!" Ning Weiyan's eyes were bloodshot. He picked up the dagger on the ground with his left hand and rushed towards the figure created by the system. He shouted hysterically: "You are just a string of data! How can you control others?! I will kill you--!"
The next second, everyone saw Ning Weiyan stabbing the illusion of the system, and then the whole person suddenly exploded!
Countless blood clots fell from the sky and showered on everyone like fireworks. The blood gathered on the ground, sticking firmly to the soles of everyone's feet... It was as if the devil's hands from hell had grasped their ankles, and would not allow them to refuse, and would drag them down together!
This scene was so sudden that Mo Yin covered her mouth but still couldn't help screaming.
But the system still smiled and asked: "Who will go first?"
…
The principal was soon suspended for investigation and the vice-principal temporarily took over the school affairs.
When Xiang Wanning left the school with the crew, she felt a little reluctant. She said, "For the first time, I discovered the joys of my student days, such as sleeping in math class or playing games."
"But you take other classes more seriously than anyone else." Lan Zhi looked at her in confusion: "You also arranged for three people to enroll. You will not enroll after the filming of this drama is finished, right?"
Lan Zhi rubbed his hands, his eyes showing a fiery light. He enthusiastically planned the next path for her: "Then I found out that I was very talented in studying. I was admitted to a 985 university in one year. From then on, I focused on both my career and study."
Xiang Wanning: ...
But forget it, let her go to the college entrance examination and make a fool of herself?
However, when she processed the admission procedures for Wang Ni, Qing Yuexi and Li Ruize, they were quite touched. Xiang Wanning sighed with the feeling of "I have done another good thing" and got on the return bus.
Wang Ni and the other two were standing on the balcony, watching the crew go away.
Wang Ni's eyes were dull: "So, after we finish the class at school, we still have to go back to take private lessons?"
Qing Yuexi's eyes were dull: "I have finished the college entrance examination papers from the past five years, but my scores are still not going up..."
Li Ruize burst into tears. Thinking of how Xiang Wanning had specifically asked them to teach him well before she left, he suddenly felt desperate: "Don't I just need to play games? Why do I have to come to study in the third year of high school?"
Then the three of them looked at each other and sighed heavily.
"It's so hard to stay with the boss." Wang Ni was worried: "Have you seen He Qiuling and Yi Shan? Those two look so adoring on the boss, they must be her new followers!"
Qing Yuexi nodded in agreement: "Our position is no longer secure, we must work harder!"
Li Ruize was still crying beside him: "What should I do? I don't even have time to play games. What if our team doesn't win the championship?"
Hearing this, Qing Yuexi suddenly became curious: "The game you are playing is "Creator God", right? I heard that "God Killer" has started internal testing, with beautiful graphics and advanced technology. Will no one play "Creator God" by then?"
"Oh, I don't know. God Slayer is quite willing to spend money. I heard that they will give out 1 million red envelopes to players during the public beta test!"
"It's so grand, let's go and have some fun then."
“…”
The three of them each had their own troubles, but strangely, no one thought it was Xiang Wanning's problem. They were just worried that they couldn't do it, but they didn't back down.
Their conversation echoed throughout the campus. They, wearing neat school uniforms, finally returned to the classroom again and again.
"My mother's surgery has been successfully completed and she is recovering now." Qing Yuexi held up her face and looked into the distance, as if a brand new future was beckoning her: "When I get into college, I will rent a room and bring her to study together."

"What? Yu Quezhou hasn't come back yet?"
Xiang Wan Ning, who had just returned to the crew of "Tomorrow's Day", heard the news from the assistant director and laughed angrily. She pointed at the crew's scenery and asked him sincerely: "Is Yu Quezhou crazy? If he hasn't made up his mind to shoot, then don't shoot. Everyone has joined the crew, but he is not even seen!"
She took out her cell phone and started typing away, swinging it so hard that sparks were about to fly off it. She was questioning the other party while she was still talking: "They sent us here to experience life. The three screenwriters are back to revise the script. Don't let them say the script is not good and revise it all over again, right?"
Assistant Director: …
He is so weak, pathetic and helpless.
This one has the Xiang family as his back, that one is a rich second generation, and after looking around, the assistant director was surprised to find that he was the weakling in the crew!
Okay, okay, all the troubles caused by Yu Quezhou are now his retribution, right? The assistant director sighed. He finally understood why Yu Quezhou offered him a high salary.
When the next message came on the phone, it was a reply from Yu Quezhou.
[Yu Quezhou: I have encountered a little trouble and I have a question for you]
[Yu Quezhou: If you play roulette and there is only a 50% chance of winning, what will you choose? 】
Xiang Wanning: ...
Does he still have the leisure time to play games?
She smiled and replied:
【Xiang Wanning: I will destroy you】
Not long after she put down her phone, another call came in.
Xiang Wan Ning didn't have time to see the number clearly. She thought it was the psychopath Yu Quezhou, so she answered the call directly and asked, "Do you think I didn't know it was you because I didn't give you a note?"
Then, she used her eloquent tongue and quoted from classics to scold Yu Quezhou until there was nothing left of him.
After a long while, Xiang Wanning heard a strange male voice from the other end of the phone.
With deliberately suppressed anger, he said to her: "Hello, Miss Wan Ning, I am the person in charge of Miss Company."
"We have a cooperation plan that we would like to discuss with you. I wonder if Miss Wan Ning would be willing to do us the honor?"
…
Yu Quezhou shifted his gaze away from the phone and picked up the shotgun from the table.
This was the final round of the game. The bodies of other people were lying at our feet. The whole room was flooded with blood and the smell of death was everywhere.
Yu Quezhou also had a strong smell of blood on his body. He heard the system's voice: "Have you decided?"
Perhaps because he was the last survivor, the system was particularly tolerant of him.
"But my luck has always been good." The system smiled.
Yu Quezhou calmly pointed the gun at it.
"Maybe you are lucky." He said, "but Xiang Wanning is better."
The system was puzzled, staring at the dark muzzle of the gun, and expressed its inner confusion: "Is her luck good too?"
Yu Quezhou pressed the muzzle of the gun, and the bullet popped out instantly, hitting the system's forehead.
Snap——
He seemed to hear the explosion as the bullet pierced the forehead of the system.
"No." Yu Quezhou replied calmly: "It's because her luck has always been bad. As long as I make the opposite choice from her, I will definitely win."
As he finished speaking, the lights in the room flickered, and in an instant, the originally depressing and gloomy environment suddenly changed and returned to its original appearance of the control room.
The people who had "died" in the game were still in shock. Ning Weiyan was shaking the system screen in despair: "Are you sick? Who do you want to scare to death? I almost thought..."
He almost thought he was really dead!
The fear and pain from having his palm pierced was still lingering. Ning Weiyan raised his head, only to see a question mark on the system's display screen.
System: Huh? I said it was a game, OvO, I never said I would get hurt.
System: What the database said is indeed useful. Everyone’s heartbeat is quickening. They must be very happy! (＾▽＾)
Ning Weiyan: ...
He simply stretched out his hand and punched the display screen!
System: Ovo
After venting his emotions, he walked out of the control room in a trance with a pale face and a USB flash drive containing the "previously written erroneous program virus" in his pocket.
Did he succeed? Ning Weiyan didn't know, but at this moment, his obsession and admiration for Xiang Zhinian disappeared.
How unfathomable must the person be to be able to create such a system?
Maybe they are right. People like this should either be kept in our own hands or destroyed completely!
…
Yu Quezhou didn't want to be bound to the system, so he asked the system to make a new choice, but was strongly rejected by the system.
System: You make me lose face! We must abide by the rules in life!
Yu Quezhou looked at the others and found that the Xiang family members, who had come to their senses, always had a strange trust in him.
...But he is the boss of Zhouyou Entertainment Group. Aren’t these people afraid that he will run away with the system?
Yu Quezhou had no choice but to agree to be bound to it, thinking that he would find Xiang Zhinian first and then unbind him from it later. However, he always had a helpless feeling that he had inexplicably stolen other people's research results.
Being bound to it was not as uncomfortable as he had imagined. Almost in the blink of an eye, Yu Quezhou felt that there was something extra in his mind.
The system was crunching on rice crusts and biscuits. Yu Quezhou felt that his mind was full of crunching sounds, as if it was not eating snacks but his brain.
Wait, why does he know what the system is eating?
But this is not the point. The point is that the system gave him a string of addresses and said in his mind: [They are drawing Chinen's blood. If you don't go now, you may not be able to save her! 】
Then, it said: [Actually, the roulette game is just an excuse. The only person I have always wanted to choose is you. I checked the database, and this is the only way to make it legitimate! 】
[Don't worry, I have a good handle on the ways of the world! 】After the system finished speaking, it curiously asked: [There is a strange smell on your body, a smell of system collapse, mixed smells, and intertwined programs...]
What it said next made Yu Quezhou freeze in place.
[It seems that different programs are running alternately in your body. In your human terms, this should be called rebirth, right? 】
The secret that he had never told anyone was easily exposed to the other party, but he could not remember any fragmentary images of the "system".
Why?
Why does it know itself, even though it doesn't know the details of the system?
Do you know that you are reborn for the third time?
