His country is currently in dire need of reconstruction, and taking these things back would accelerate its development. What's wrong with him taking these things back for free? He's never even considered ruling a planet.
"No, I'm not from this planet at all. I'm from the planet you're on right now. My soul was transported here by accident, and I've been waiting for the opportunity to return."
The little system's cat-like eyes widened: "Don't tell me that the trigger was me!" Oh my god, if this person is from the same place as the host, will he kill his host and take him for himself after he goes back?
That won't do. It's not one to be fickle. It likes its current host very much. The host gives it enough freedom and trusts it a lot. It doesn't want to change hosts.
The result was very disappointing for the little system. This big oaf actually nodded. It actually admitted to nodding. Has it caused the host a big problem?
The little system immediately deflated, its virtual fur drooping down, looking utterly dejected. It was too late to escape now; as long as the passage was closed, this big oaf wouldn't be able to find it.
During the time Sun Kaicheng spent in contact with the small system, he gained a thorough understanding of it. This small system wasn't a cunning one; with just a glance, he could basically guess what the other party wanted to do.
"Don't think you can escape and I won't be able to find you. You'd better think it through. If you close the passage and run away, your host's space will be gone, and you'll take the food grown in the space and all the treasures stored there with you. How are you going to explain that to your host then?"
The weakness of this little system is its host. He doesn't know how a system can be so good to a human. It's so good that it makes him a little jealous. He doesn't see anything attractive about that dark-skinned, skinny girl.
The little system, which was about to slip away, stopped in its tracks and was caught in a dilemma. Yes, those things were all the host's treasures. If it lost them, especially the food that the host had worked so hard to grow, wouldn't the host be furious?
"Then, then, you have to promise me that after I go back, I won't hurt my host, and I won't betray you and follow you. My host will only have Qian Xiao."
Sun Kaicheng looked at the little system strangely. When did it say it would harm its host? If it weren't for that little girl, the little system wouldn't have thought of opening a passage to borrow space, and he wouldn't have had a way to go back.
Although Sun Kaicheng wasn't a good person, he wasn't so heartless and ungrateful as to be completely treacherous.
Besides, the downloaded materials are enough for him to study for a lifetime. What use would he have for a useless and stupid system?
Sun Kaicheng nodded: "I guarantee I will absolutely not harm your host."
The little system thought for a moment but was still not entirely at ease: "You must lend that corner of that space to my host until the end of my host's life."
"I promise that I will not take back the space I lent out until your host passes away. However, if I die first, there's nothing I can do."
Double eggs... Nonsense, if you kill them all, then the space will be gone.
"Well, although I can't change hosts, I can still help you. Just pay me. I'm very capable, and I can guide you through any knowledge you don't understand."
"Okay, I'll ask you for help if I need it, and I'll give you the corresponding compensation."
Looks like he hasn't had enough of taking advantage of us yet! But with this silly little system, many things will be easier, and giving him some things he doesn't really need isn't a bad idea.
"I can agree to all of these, but you still need to help me with one thing?" Sun Kaicheng readily agreed to the conditions proposed by the little system, since they weren't anything that would cause him any trouble. However, he couldn't let the little system take advantage of him all by himself, could he?
The small system instinctively took a step back: "W-What is it?"
"Once I'm ready, I'll enter a state of suspended animation outside. You need to pull my soul into this space and open your portal to send me back to my original world."
"Ah! But my host is still very young and it's impossible for him to leave his hometown. I can't send your soul back. Do you also live in my host's village?"
"No, my family is from Long City, but I don't need you to send my soul back. Just bring it back to my own world, and my soul will automatically return to my body."
This is something he found after searching through many books on spatial manipulation. His current spatial vessel is exactly the same as the jade pendant he carries. As long as his original jade pendant is still on his person, his soul will automatically return to his body once he returns to his original world.
“When I get back, I will offer two high-grade crystal cores as a reward. What do you think?” Sun Kaicheng continued to raise the stakes.
Crystal cores—this is one of the best energy sources it can currently find. Ever since this big oaf discovered it, it's been too embarrassed to take crystal cores from its space casually. Although its host's life is short, its current energy is definitely enough.
Which system would ever complain about having too much of this kind of resource? It's good to store it even if you don't need it.
"You...you really won't hurt my host?"
"No, she has something on me too, doesn't she?" He glanced meaningfully at his personal space.
The little system immediately understood what the big guy meant. That's right, if this guy dares to harm its host, it will tell the host the true owner of the space, so the host can catch the big guy by the tail, and then the big guy won't dare to harm its host.
My God! How could I be such a smart person?
Sun Kaicheng's lips twitched. He had thought this little system was a bit dim-witted! He figured the host wasn't much smarter either. It was just borrowing a bit of space; he wasn't going to be so stingy.
What bad intentions could he possibly have? He simply wanted to return to his beloved hometown and see the family he had always missed.
"Alright then, just let me know when you're ready, and I'll take your soul through the passage back to the world that originally belonged to you."
...
"Hey, Erdan, come quick! I caught a big fish! Pull me down!" Gouzi struggled to pull the fishing rod; if he hadn't been skilled enough, the rod would have broken.
Qian Xiao quickly planted his fishing rod on the bank, ran to Gouzi's side, and skillfully pulled the big fish out of the river.
"You're really something, Erdan. I spent ages trying to get it out, and I almost got dragged down with it. Let me see how big this fish is!" The big fish was finally brought ashore, and Gouzi breathed a sigh of relief.
