Over here, Ling Xiao is humming a song as she compiles a list of wealthy people in the Dream of the Red Chamber, listing them one by one in red pen according to their assets.
Then the tiny ball of light dragged a mottled black sphere that shifted between reality and illusion as it approached.
Holding up the struggling black ball like a prized possession, it's like a cat showing off its catch of a mouse or cockroach to its owner, excitedly shouting:
"Host, look what I've caught!"
Ling Xiao sensed something was amiss and noticed the unusual nature of the black sphere. She asked, quite enthusiastically, "Lin Zhen's smuggler system?"
"That's right, it's just a clone, hahaha, how dare it spy on us? It was caught by this system in no time."
After saying that, he prepared to knead the ingredients and feed them to the baby. The best ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.
"Wait a minute," Ling Xiao said casually, his eyes darting around.
His hand paused for only a moment, then sped up and frantically stuffed the black ball into his body.
This system doesn't want to hear what the host is about to say, because it's definitely going to mess with me.
As long as I'm fast enough, disaster can't catch me.
"Eat up, you'll be better able to work when you're full," Ling Xiao said gently, not angry at all. Her soft murmur sent shivers down the system's spine, giving it a bad feeling.
Who will save the system's life?!
As the system predicted, what happened next is best left unsaid.
He muttered curses and threw a small ball of light from his body into the void.
Arriving at a data space, I spotted the beautiful "maid" in the center and kicked her:
"You unlucky bastard, who gave you the right to send out your clones so casually?!"
*Smack!* A heavy punch lands. "Don't you know the outside world is dangerous? You have no self-respect!"
"Wearing a maid outfit? Ugh, you're a system of involution, shameless..."
It easily crushed the resistance of the smuggling system, pressed down on it, and sighed softly, its sigh filled with bitterness and vicissitude.
"I think I didn't gather all the necessary skills for the spy profession in the previous few worlds... Never mind... Anyway, with Ling Xiao, anything is possible."
After calming down, Lin Zhen decided to remain calm and wait for the right moment, and first went to ask his own system.
Upon opening, the "Detecting" message was gone, and he was overjoyed. He eagerly summoned his system avatar.
"System, how's it going? Did you detect anything? Are there any other transmigrators?"
After a long silence, Lin Zhen was getting impatient. Suddenly, the screen flashed, and a simple, burly man appeared, glaring at Lin Zhen and speaking in a menacing tone:
"What's the rush? No other transmigrators entered; it's just that the timeline shifted on its own, creating a God of Wealth connected to Lin Daiyu who is protecting her."
"No, no, who are you?! Where did my system go?"
Upon seeing the burly man, Lin Zhen asked incoherent questions.
"Shut up!" the burly man roared, his muscles bulging, and he grinned maliciously.
"The previous system got infected with a virus by accident, so it's my turn to take over. Don't worry, Master, I can probably do what it can do too."
Lin Zhen: ...What are you talking about?
The petite and adorable loli with a baby face and huge breasts is so different from the unkempt, burly man who looks like he could kill his host at any moment.
And what does it mean to be capable of doing something?
Lin Zhen, overwhelmed with complaints and unsure where to begin, swallowed his anger and asked:
"How long will it take for the virus to clear up in the previous system? I can wait."
A casual reply: "Oh, maybe a hundred or two hundred years, not too long."
Lin Zhen: "Can I switch to a different system? Or can you change my appearance?"
To be honest, I'm speechless about Lin Zhen. So, it seems that no matter what's inside, as long as the woman is pretty, you can just go for it, right?
"cannot"
Lin Zhen choked, clenching his fists to comfort himself. It's alright, it's just a virtual system avatar anyway. There are all sorts of beauties in the Dream of the Red Chamber...
Thinking of this, Lin Zhen asked:
"System, you said a God of Wealth appeared, which is why these changes happened. What exactly is going on, and what should I do next?"
"Tch, why ask so many questions at once?" The big man picked at his ear and flicked it lightly, causing Lin Zhen to shiver and turn to the side.
"The God of Wealth, those who know, know. Anyway, she has appeared. According to my tests, there are no problems. Let's just let nature take its course."
That plastic basin, out of step with our times, is what this God of Wealth is supposed to be—a reserve figure. To accumulate wealth and merit, he orchestrated a treasure chest lottery, which Jia Lian had to spend money to win.
First came a bunch of nonsense, and then he gave a cursory explanation of where the plastic basin came from.
Lin Zhen, unsure whether he believed her or not, asked with a flickering gaze:
Is that God of Wealth a male or female deity? What is his relationship with Lin Daiyu?
Holy crap, I can't help but want to punch someone. This kind of thing, the smuggling system really doesn't discriminate.
"Hehe, she's a goddess, and a very beautiful one at that. As for her relationship with Lin Daiyu, I don't know. You'll have to observe for yourself."
He said with ill intent, and seeing the thing below him breathe rapidly a few times, he sneered inwardly.
"That's all for today's workday. I'm going to sleep now. Don't wake me up unless it's absolutely necessary."
After the burly man finished speaking, *click*, the screen went black. Lin Zhen snapped out of his reverie, his face darkening, and said resentfully:
"What a garbage system! It's so irresponsible... Ugh!"
With a hissing sound, the electric current passed through Lin Zhen's entire body, bringing him excruciating pain. The electric shock caused Lin Zhen to writhe on the ground, curled up in a ball, disregarding his image.
The burly man, now dressed in pajamas, said menacingly, "How dare you offend the great system? I think you're out of power. Will you dare to do it again next time?"
"No, I wouldn't dare," Lin Zhen stammered painfully.
Hmph! After finishing her work here, she flew back to Ling Xiao's side, sobbing and complaining about the "mental torture" she had suffered.
"Come on, having Lin Zhen in front of us can better cover us up, and we can also use him to lure Jinghuan and the others. Just bear with it a little longer for my sake."
Ling Xiao gently coaxed the system, soothing it for a long time, but it kept sobbing.
"That's it, 1, 2..."
The system immediately returned to normal.
Meanwhile, Lin Ruhai received a letter from the capital, a message of concern and comfort from the Emperor Emeritus, with the phrase "...return to the capital" only appearing at the very end of the page.
