Chapter 11 The Two Systems Meet
【556? What does it mean?】
The character-playing system, having calmly accepted its fate, was admiring its new pink skin when it suddenly heard its host—or rather, its master—name itself "556."
Completely baffled by the meaning of the name, the fans moved their little hands and feet, asking in confusion.
"As for the meaning... it's also a good time for you to meet your seniors." Yinzhen chuckled and waved his hand, breaking through the barrier in his sea of consciousness.
[Senior?] Before 556 could react, a lively and cheerful electronic voice came.
[Host, host, why are you vomiting blood? What happened?] System 555's memory was still stuck at the moment when Yinzhen vomited blood and collapsed.
"You have the authority to arrest me?" 556 Yinzhen spoke first, his shocked tone piercing the sky, immediately attracting 555's attention.
Seeing the small pink ball of light that suddenly appeared in front of its host, the white cat pounced excitedly and suddenly stopped, its eyes widening in surprise.
Because it was discovered that the host seemed to like kittens, it specially redeemed a cat appearance 555, and its emotions became more outward.
[A wild system?!] The kitten suddenly stepped in front of Yinzhen, righteously rebuking 556, [You unnumbered outsider system, don't even think about getting close to my host. This is someone I protect, understand?]
556 was speechless for a moment. Was this system an idiot? Didn't it know what kind of person its host was? Didn't it understand the situation on the ground? Did it look like a system capable of threatening Yinzhen?
[Host, don't be afraid, I will protect you. These kinds of wild systems are all smooth-talking liars, don't believe them. Leave it to me. If all else fails, I... I have connections.]
The kitten that 555 transformed into had completely different faces when dealing with Yinzhen and 556. When it came to Yinzhen, it would obediently rub against his hand, but when it came to 556, it would bare its teeth and show off its baby teeth in a threatening manner.
"Little Five is really amazing." Yinzhen reached out and stroked the kitten's head. It was fluffy and felt really nice. 555's skin change was great, it deserves praise.
[Hehehe, don't worry, host, I will protect the best host in the world.] If there weren't "outsiders" present, 555 would have turned into a cat pancake under the host's petting.
The fan's chubby face couldn't help but contort for a moment, but thankfully, its current appearance didn't reveal it. But what about the world's best host? Ugh -556 got it. A stupid system that'd been completely fooled. Sure enough, systems from legitimate backgrounds are clueless and so easily deceived.
[Host, watch me kick this terrified wild system out!]
Seeing that the fan group opposite remained silent, 555 mistakenly thought that the other party was intimidated by its majestic image and was about to pounce on it to defend its territorial sovereignty. The host's sea of consciousness can only have one ruler, 555!
"Alright, I forgot to tell you." Yinzhen grabbed the kitten by the scruff of its neck and pulled it into his arms, stopping its behavior. It was a pity; he actually wanted to continue watching the spectacle, but new developments in the outside world meant he no longer had time to observe.
"This system is now linked to me; from now on, you'll be partners."
[What? Did this system lie to you? Wild systems are very risky.] Upon hearing what Yinzhen said, 555 immediately became agitated and looked like she was about to rush over and fight the little dumpling.
"Don't worry, don't worry," Yinzhen stroked 555's fur and explained, "Don't you know my identity? It's just a small problem, I can handle it. Trust me, I can handle it."
[Oh, right,] 555 was instantly convinced. [With the host being so powerful, dealing with a wild system is no problem.]
"Yes, so don't worry. I have to go out and take care of some things. You and your dog get along well. Oh, by the way, I named it 556. It'll be with you. You're the senior, so you have to take good care of it."
[Ah, really? Hahaha...] Hearing Yinzhen say that, and that even the other person's name was based on his own, the discomfort of having an extra "master" in the host instantly disappeared, and he cheerfully replied, [Don't worry, host, I'm a senior! I'll take good care of Xiao Liu.]
"Little Fifth is great!" Yinzhen praised, then glanced at the silent little dumpling and said gently, "556 will also get along well with his senior, won't he?"
"Yes, yes." It must be a threat! What else could 556 say but stiffly agree?
Yinzhen nodded in satisfaction, then withdrew, leaving the two systems, who were meeting for the first time, to spend time together freely.
[Tsk, what kind of ruler are you?] As soon as Yinzhen left, 555's expression changed drastically. The arrogant little cat craned its neck and circled around the pink ball of fur, constantly scanning it.
Although the host has successfully subdued this wild system, 555 feels it is still its responsibility to thoroughly investigate this guy's background to prevent the host from being deceived.
More importantly, it must solidify its position as the leader; the host can only have one true love! This wild leader can only be a subordinate!
【I am a character role-playing system.】Although I can't stand 555's foolishness, with the threat of Yinzhen in front of me, 556 doesn't dare to cause trouble.
【Oh, role-playing...】555 appeared calm on the surface, but actually racked her brains trying to figure out what kind of system the other party was. It was 555's first time on the job, and she had only heard of these wild systems but had never actually encountered one.
My mind is completely blank right now 555, but in order to maintain my dignity, I can only pretend to be calm.
Unfortunately, it encountered 556, which had bound itself to a host many times. It saw through the bluff at a glance, but did not expose it. Instead, it kept praising it for its own purposes.
[As expected of someone with a formal employment system, they're really knowledgeable and experienced.]
【Ahem, keep it low-key.】555 said this, but actually, she was so pleased by 556's words that she was wagging her tail like crazy. It was so good that 556 couldn't look at her directly.
555...
【Why call me 555? That's too formal. Since we're family now, just call me Big Brother!】 555 patted the pink ball with its paw. Seeing how sensible it was, it accepted this little brother.
[Big...Big Brother...] 556 tolerated it. It was just calling him "Big Brother" to gather information, so what? He could just call him that...
[Huh? Where did that teeth grinding sound come from?] The kitten, feeling refreshed by the pink dumpling's "Big Brother," rubbed its ears, as if it had heard something strange.
"No, you must have misheard," 556 said with a fake smile, deliberately using an exaggerated tone, "B-Big Brother, what kind of system are you? When did you start following the host? What does the host do, being so powerful?"
[Stop, stop, stop, there are too many questions...] 555 was getting impatient, but then he thought, this is his little brother, how can the big brother ignore his little brother's problems? Sigh, this is probably one of the little troubles of being the big brother.
Thinking this to himself, the kitten's whiskers trembled with delight. After finally calming himself down, he explained to the pink dumpling, "I have a formally established fanfiction creation system. The host is a powerful mage in a very popular Western fantasy novel world, you know? A righteous mage as powerful as you can easily handle you, so don't get any bad ideas."
"No, no." 556 quickly waved his hand, but what he heard was hard to explain.
[My host and I are a match made in heaven. On my very first day on the job, I bound myself to you and brought you into the world of "Empresses in the Palace." Your adaptability is extraordinary, let me tell you...]
(A thousand words of 555's flattery are omitted here, but 556, who was just listening, was utterly dejected, deeply understanding 555's naivety.) The kitten was praising her with great enthusiasm, while the pink dumpling was screaming internally, "Don't you even listen to what you're saying? A righteous mage? You've gone so far as to call yourself a villain! Where's the justice? Are all the people in your system so easily fooled? Don't you have any pre-job training?"
A fan fiction creation system, and the first character it was bound to was an important character in the story? Didn't you notice anything wrong? Are you sure you bound to it voluntarily? They avoided binding you to me, didn't you have any suspicions?
Heavens above, how can there be such a naive leader? As a wild leader myself, I feel ashamed! So why should such a system be the leader? I should be the leader!
