Chapter 1
Chapter 1
"Xiao Liunian, do you think you can stop me!" The speaker held a cracked giant axe in his hand, and blood slowly oozed from his wounds.
Xiao Liunian did not speak. The spear in his hand was broken, and the original color of his clothes—blue-green—could be seen from the parts of his clothes that were not stained with blood.
Xiao Liunian threw himself into the battle, the blood gushing from his body seemingly a special stimulant. Finally, Xiao Liunian plunged the broken gun into the enemy's body, then spun it, waiting for the enemy to stop breathing completely.
Xiao Liunian pulled out the gun, supported himself as he walked to a relatively clean place, and slowly sat down cross-legged, the remaining strength in his body gradually dissipating.
Then, in an instant, or perhaps many years later, Xiao Liunian opened his eyes again. Although everything in front of him was foggy, Xiao Liunian felt very familiar with the scene.
Practice makes perfect. Through this familiar process, Xiao Liunian once again accepted that he should start over from the very beginning.
Xiao Liunian, whose real name is Lin Mu, was once a college student on Blue Star China. During his sophomore year, he fell asleep one day and inexplicably ended up here without any system notifications as in the novel.
Lin Mu didn't know whether it was his own consciousness or his soul that came here and became a conscious cell.
After enduring a long period of darkness, it is born, then dies, then becomes a cell again, then dies, and then...
This cycle repeated itself endlessly. Lin Mu had always been sensitive to numbers, and at first he was interested in remembering when he arrived here, but later he lost that interest. Now, Lin Mu can't remember how long he has been trapped here.
"Let it be," Lin Mu sighed, then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
After all, babies need a lot of sleep during their physical development.
Then Lin Mu began the baby's normal routine, with most of the brief awakening time spent eating, drinking, and defecating, and the rest of the time spent cuddling and sleeping.
At first, Lin Mu couldn't accept becoming an infant, unable to control her eating, drinking, and excretion, and being manipulated by others. But now, Lin Mu feels that these things no longer matter to her!
After that, Lin Mu began to live a life of lying flat, literally lying flat, since there's nothing else a baby can do but lie flat.
Half a year passed by in a blur of eating and sleeping. Lin Mu finally grew a little bigger, his sleep time decreased slightly, and he could occasionally wake up and entertain himself.
One late night, Lin Mu heard a voice announcement in his mind that the system had been successfully bound.
Then it seemed that I had entered a different space, which was simply a modern unfinished house that had only been painted with white latex paint!
"A deafening roar echoes through the sky, and System Thirteen makes its dazzling debut!"
"Congratulations, lucky host, on binding with the great System Thirteen!"
"Let's start the missions and clear the levels together!"
"Then, become the host among hosts, the system within the system, and reach the pinnacle of life, the pinnacle of life control!"
Lin Mu seemed to see a dense barrage of comments scrolling across his screen, accompanied by surround sound, creating a very lively atmosphere.
However, the comments section changed afterward.
"Aa ...
"Why is the host still a baby?!"
"Why? Why? Why?"
"Am I dying before even getting started?"
"Is the great Number Thirteen going to suffer a crushing defeat here and return home empty-handed?"
"Oh, I probably won't be able to return for a while!"
Lin Mu's mind continued to be filled with comments, which changed from colorful to black and white, as if his strength was being drained away little by little.
Lin Mu felt that it would be better to have more colorful and festive colors.
"Your literary background is quite good!" Lin Mu praised sincerely. The phrases "to suffer a crushing defeat," "to return in defeat," and "to die before achieving one's goal" all suggest a high level of cultural refinement.
"Of course! I spent some time in China on Earth, and through what I saw and heard, I've learned a lot myself!" The comments section started to turn colorful again.
"So, what does 'system within a system' mean? How do you explain 'host within a host'?" Lin Mu got down to business, feeling that the future might be different after being numb for so long.
"Of course, the system and the host will join forces to win over the chosen one of destiny."
"Thus, you will reach the pinnacle of life, earn points through the system, and obtain perfect love!" Lin Mu thought this comment was somewhat useful.
"So you're the Dragon Pride System?" Lin Mu recalled the Green River novel he had read a long time ago.
"No, I'm a dating strategy assistant system, dedicated to helping my host achieve perfect love and reach the pinnacle of life!" A comment floated across the screen.
"Next, please welcome the great System Thirteen!" A ball of light slowly condensed in front of Lin Mu. After the light faded, a cat appeared in front of Lin Mu. Cat!
Lin Mu stepped forward, intending to pick up the cat, but his hand passed right through the cat's body!
"This space even has a built-in horror effect?" Lin Mu complained.
"Because we are currently only forms created by consciousness, not physical entities, we cannot have a real sense of touch," said the cat system Thirteen Meow.
"Alright then." Lin Mu stepped back regretfully. His cat-resistant nature truly meant he was loyal to him to the end and would never betray him.
"So you're my savior? To help me reach the pinnacle of life through love?" Lin Mu once again got down to business with the system.
"Yes, but you're still a baby and can't start doing missions yet. After all, you can only start pursuing love when you're of legal age!" Cat System Thirteen continued to meow.
"Do you have to win over others to reach the pinnacle of life?"
"Can't I be like the host of the Dragon Pride System, who reaches the pinnacle of life on his own and enjoys unlimited freedom?" Lin Mu felt that this system might be a burden or even a threat to him.
"Of course you can, just change the system attributes. But after changing the system, the system's auxiliary functions will be weakened, and the system attributes can only be changed once." Cat System Thirteen hesitated.
"I am not the same person I was yesterday, and I will not be the same person I am tomorrow."
"Don't underestimate the system's poverty; fortunes change every three years."
"As a future peak leader of the system, how can I lack ambition from the very beginning!" Lin Mu, fearing that the cat in front of him would not change its attributes, continued to paint a bright future, and even removed the "ten".
"Very well, though I am weak today, how could I continue to be like this tomorrow!" Cat System Thirteen clenched its fist, its resolve unwavering!
Voice chat started playing.
System attribute conversion successful.
Current Attribute: Phoenix Pride System
System Level: 0
System auxiliary functions: The activation threshold has not been met.
Other features: To be developed
In Lin Mu's eyes, the cats become even cuter! His filter for cats can be deepened even further.
Now, Lin Mu can finally breathe a sigh of relief when facing Maomao Shisan; the potential threat to the system has been reduced.
"Great system, how can I usually contact you?" Lin Mu asked, praising the system.
"Every time you concentrate and repeatedly call out 'System, System, System' with your mind, I will appear as a display screen." The cat was delighted!
"If I summon the great system, the powerful system, the system within the system, can you still appear?" Lin Mu felt that modifying the command would be better.
"Sure!"
Lin Mu thought that the cat's belly was probably already showing.
"So, does that mean you can know whatever I'm thinking anytime? I've seen many systems like that in novels." Lin Mu expressed great curiosity about the system.
"Our legitimate organizations wouldn't do that; it's against the rules!" Cat retorted.
If it's against the rules, then it means it's possible. I need to be more careful in the future and not let things get to this point with the cat, since the cat is just too cute.
"Then, Cat System, can you appear as a physical cat?" Lin Mu felt this was very important.
"Once the system reaches a higher level, it can materialize." The cat's tone became dazed.
"The system currently has limited energy and needs to hibernate to recover. Goodbye, host!"
It seems that if the system can be upgraded, it is still possible to change the cat's immune-repelling nature.
Lin Mu's consciousness detached from the space, and he opened his eyes to look around the room.
Then he closed his eyes again, and his mental virtual notes began to summarize.
First, learn from past experiences and lessons, and this time strive to survive longer.
Second, the system is a variable. We must make this variable work for us, otherwise, we must find a way to eliminate it.
The notes in her mind stopped without her realizing it; after all, Lin Mu's body was still like a baby's, and sleep was of utmost importance to her.
So let's take it slow and focus on eating well, sleeping well, and growing properly first.
As for the rest, I'll think about it little by little. Anyway, the situation has already become like this, can it get any worse?
Let's do goodnight together!
