Although this stealth is not quite the same as theft, it may be essentially the same to the host.
Qian Xiao was so excited that he didn't notice the hesitation in the little system's tone: "Oh my god, it would be even better if this space could automatically plant seeds. It's a pity, I tried and it just doesn't work."
"Won't this grain spoil if we leave it here?"
"It's okay, this space has a preservation function. No matter how long you leave it, it will still look like it was just harvested."
"That's good, that's good, otherwise we wouldn't have anywhere to put it."
"Alright, I'm too tired today, I'm going out to rest for a bit. I'll come back to farm tomorrow." With that, Qian Xiao disappeared.
The little system thought for a moment and didn't follow Qian Xiao out. Instead, it flew to the vicinity of the camera, vaguely revealing a blurry silhouette. Although it had taken two crystals from the space owner to replenish its energy last time, it wasn't certain if it would find another opportunity to have energy, so it had to use it sparingly.
Sun Kaicheng also emerged from behind the mist. The little system, though feeling guilty, still greeted the man politely.
"Hello, owner of this space. My name is Shuangdan and I come from an interstellar intelligent system. I apologize for borrowing land in your space without consulting you beforehand."
Sun Kaicheng...you're actually quite polite, aren't you? Why don't you admit you stole my things? Shuangdan, are you serious about that down-to-earth nickname?
But none of that matters now: "Did you create this space?"
The little system twisted its illusory body: "Yes, after I bound myself to a host, I accidentally lost a lot of things while traveling through time and space. My host really likes space, so I searched for the space closest to me."
"I see that your space is very large, and there is still a lot of hidden area that has not been developed. So I thought I would borrow it for a few decades and return it to you when my host no longer needs it. You are a good person, you won't mind, right?"
Sun Kaicheng was taken aback. Why did that last sentence sound so awkward? He couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
"You mean you're a system from interstellar space, and after binding with a host, you traveled through time and space, meaning your host isn't a native of this place?"
"You could say that. My host was originally a soul from the 21st century. After death, I bound him and he traveled through time and space. However, my host didn't take over someone else's body. Instead, he was directly reincarnated and was born. You could say he was a native."
Its host had said that in the cultivation world, taking over someone else's body to be reborn is called "possession," which is a sinister thing. It didn't know what sinister meant, but it knew that it wasn't a good word to describe it.
Sun Kaicheng didn't speak, carefully sorting out the relationships here. If he hadn't read many novels about pre-apocalyptic times, he wouldn't have understood what the system was saying at all. In other words, the little girl just now lived in the 21st century, which was before the apocalypse.
An accidental death resulted in being bound to a system, which then transported the user to another timeline. Instead of possessing someone else's body, the user was reincarnated as a baby and became a local! This is—quite complicated!
"Can you tell me where you are now and what year it is?" That was what he was most concerned about.
"Okay, we are currently in the Milky Way Galaxy, on Blue Star, in the Dragon Kingdom in 1956."
Blue Star, Dragon Kingdom, 1956—Sun Kaicheng was stunned. This was the hometown he had always dreamed of. Was his body still there? Was he still alive? Did his family still remember him?
"Wait, you said 1956?"
"Ah, yes, it's March 2nd, 1956."
"How is that possible!"
Sun Kaicheng was born in 1946. In 1951, he was injured in the head. Fourteen years have passed since he survived the apocalypse, but only four years have passed there. Could it be that this Dragon Kingdom is not his Dragon Kingdom?
The little system was quite curious about this person's strange behavior: "What you're saying is impossible, I really didn't lie."
Sun Kaicheng shook his somewhat dazed head: "I mean, I've been here for fourteen years, so why has only four years passed over there?"
"Ah, you mean this? The orbits of planets in each small world are different, so it's normal for there to be time differences, isn't it?" This person doesn't even understand this? He seems just as stupid as his host.
"What? You're telling the truth?"
"Yes, I already said I wouldn't lie. By the way, can I discuss something with you?"
"Tell me what you think?" Sun Kaicheng was very cautious. What if this so-called system on the other end was trying to trick him?
The little system hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Could you please not meet with my host? My host has no idea that this space belongs to someone else; we are just using it."
Borrow? That's a good word; he felt that stealing would be more appropriate.
"My potion and crystal core?"
"Well, I see you have a lot, so I'll help you use some. You're just leaving it there anyway."
Sun Kaicheng... What a great helper! This has really opened my eyes. How shameless can a system be to make theft sound so noble?
"How about I do something for you in return? I'm very capable. Although I've lost a lot of things, I'm invincible as long as there's internet."
Sun Kaicheng... what can he say? The things have already been taken, how can he get them back? They've probably already been used up, right?
The key is that he needs to go back to his home, and he'll probably have to go through a passage that someone else opened up. Let's just consider it an equal exchange. But he's not a generous person, and in the apocalypse, generous people don't live long.
"Fine, how will I find you when I need you?" His tone was quite reluctant.
The little system was delighted. It was quite simple to offset these problems with a little help: "Okay, okay. If you need my help, just call me in the space. I will leave a signal in the space for you, so you can find me anytime."
"Um, um..."
Sun Kaicheng: Can we stop pretending like this? You're not a normal human being.
However, considering that the other party still had some value, he decided to treat this as a temporary friendly interaction: "Just tell me what you want to say."
"Um, if I help you with something, could you give me some crystal cores, or something else that my host can obtain, as a token of your gratitude?"
Sun Kaicheng... This was the first time he had ever heard of the meaning of speechless. This guy was really shameless! That one dose of superpower awakening potion was worth a fortune, how could he have the nerve to ask for payment?
Where does your host live?
