The area was still in a state of chaos due to the tremors of the Tree of Life, but after Xu Ling passed by, a flash of light appeared in an instant, and in the darkness, everything silently returned to normal.
Soon, the familiar, crisp sound of harvesting filled everyone's ears, and naturally, everyone understood what Xu Ling was doing.
only······
Isn't finding Ruth the most important thing?
They murmured the words to themselves, but no one dared to ask them aloud.
Finally, Fei'er mustered her courage and walked to... Kaopu's side, whispering, "My lord, Lady Xu Ling, what... is she doing?"
Before Fei Er arrived, Kao Pu's gaze had already been fixed on Xu Ling, his eyes carrying a somewhat ambiguous meaning.
It thought Xu Ling would continue to argue with it, so it tried its best to persuade her to help it find a shortcut.
To everyone's surprise, Xu Ling didn't hesitate for a second and chose to work hard without saying a word!
Admittedly, this was completely unexpected!
Watching the clusters of wheat ears fall and grow back in the darkness, Kaopu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Why not ask for it?
Maybe it has a way to help her cheat?
After all, it's an advanced system that emerged from the AI society, completely different from ordinary systems, and it has plenty of methods!
And this time, reliability is no exaggeration!
It really, really has tricks up its sleeve!
Think about what its predecessor was?
That's an all-powerful system specifically designed to serve the male protagonist!
It has everything a man needs!
However, even though it has all of these, the prerequisite is that the male protagonist has points!
Although it often gains small advantages by fixing bugs for its former hosts, it doesn't always get them by fixing bugs.
A reliable, intelligent, and sophisticated system naturally understands that a lie that is three parts truth and seven parts falsehood is more convincing.
So, three or four out of ten times, the reliable ones will still let the previous hosts use points to buy things.
However, points are not unlimited and cannot be squandered at will; they still need to be earned by completing tasks.
Therefore, in order to ensure the male protagonist's peace of mind, the male protagonist's omnipotent system, being the most reliable, naturally had other ideas.
I have to say, we were really lucky back then!
It merely had the idea of "how to increase points quickly" and unexpectedly discovered a bug!
It was a very, very subtle bug. If it hadn't been discovered by chance, it would have been very difficult to spot the flaw.
Moreover, not only that, but precisely because this bug was so difficult to spot, the reliable system made a slight modification—increasing the percentage of points the host gained—and the same person... no, the system was unaware, and nobody noticed!
This discovery made Kaopu absolutely ecstatic!
Immediately, the first thought that came to mind was—it must keep this secret firmly and absolutely not let anyone else find out!
This is absolutely its biggest advantage in becoming the best system!
Unfortunately, this bug was discovered too late. Before it could properly help its former host, the reliable first mission failed!
Sigh, it's all tears when I talk about it!
The past is too painful to recall, so let's not dwell on it!
Let's get back to the present.
In fact, when the host was re-bound (of course, at that time, Kaopu did not know that the host was Xu Ling), Kaopu had already tampered with this hidden bug in advance.
—It quietly increased the percentage of points Xu Ling earned!
However, at that time, it had just been reworked and was still in a state of caution, so it naturally dared not make any major changes, and only made some minor modifications.
After all, it was truly penniless and broke when it was officially registered!
No matter what, we have to find a way to make some money... no, some points, right?
Because the changes were minimal, the daily points accumulation was negligible. Otherwise, why would it have resorted to underhanded tactics and secretly altered the ratio between Xu Ling and itself in terms of points?
Well, although it did feel a little sorry for Xu Ling back then, it still did its best in finding Ruth!
And so, it still wasted a lot of its points to find her a divination ball.
So after coming up with a solution, and seeing the huge amount of points required, Kaopu was racking his brains for a way.
It just hadn't thought of fixing the bug in the points ratio.
In addition, Xu Ling kept hinting that it might be possible to modify the points of the spatial magic circle, just like it had modified the points of the Tree of Life. Its thoughts inevitably followed Xu Ling's lead, which is why it hadn't thought of it before.
Seeing Xu Ling earning points with such enthusiasm, I realized how reliable I was and remembered my secret weapon!
Hmm... Although Xu Ling can be pretentious and difficult to please at times, and acts like she's still a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a bad temper, Ruth is still their companion!
So, for Ruth's sake, it's best to help Xu Ling this once!
Kaopu pursed his lips, and his beard twitched slightly.
Despite appearing somewhat reluctant, he quickly opened his data screen, immediately located the relevant code, and began secretly modifying the parameters.
So, without even Xu Ling noticing, her points increased at a much faster rate.
When Fei'er came to ask about Xu Ling's actions, it was as if nothing had happened. Kaopu lazily glanced at Fei'er and casually replied, "Of course, it's to save Ruth!"
Fei Er: ······
Although he had never left the Misty Forest before, we can't lie to him just because he's inexperienced!
Fei'er couldn't hide the doubt on her face. Kaopu paused for a moment, and this time he spoke with a bit more sincerity.
"Believe me, I'm telling the truth!"
Fei'er felt a little strange hearing this, but considering that it was something reliable said, she hesitated and nodded in belief.
Fortunately, Fei Er didn't know that there was such a thing as pyramid schemes in other worlds, otherwise, he would definitely think that the phrase "reliable" sounded somewhat like someone trying to scam others!
Having received the answer, Phil returned to Mr. and Mrs. John with the reliable reply, and then told them about the somewhat strange conversation.
Old John and Ella exchanged a strange glance.
You know what, it really does resemble a pyramid scheme, where one person scams another, and then the scammers take over the losses!
However, unlike Phil, the old Johns trusted Reliable and Xu Ling's abilities more.
Therefore, neither of them reacted much, and they simply nodded to Fei Er to indicate that they understood.
