"Holy crap, are you kidding me? Am I hallucinating? A talking mouse?"
Driven by instinct, he slowly reached for the book with his left hand.
The book was thick and heavy, and he tried to lift it with one hand before walking toward the mouse.
It slammed down with a "bang," but unfortunately missed.
The mouse scurried away and disappeared in an instant.
"Host? You want to kill me?" The old woman's voice appeared again.
"Holy crap! It's real!" Lin Mo thought in astonishment. "A female rat?"
"Hehe, don't you like my current form?" the voice said. "Then I'll change it!"
Then, when Lin Mo looked up again, he saw a black cat that was missing an ear.
"My goodness, what exactly are you?"
"You've been using me all along, and you still don't know who I am?" the black cat said. "What, are you a heartless scumbag?"
Lin Mo, “…”
"Are you the system?" he asked in astonishment.
"Haha, you can understand it that way too!" The black cat stared intently at Lin Mo. "I advise you not to get too close to that guy. He has ulterior motives towards you!"
Lin Mo, "!!!"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo burst into laughter and said, "Between people, whether friends or spouses, isn't it all driven by self-interest that they come together? He has something to gain from me, and I have something to gain from him. It's no big deal."
"Hahaha!" The black cat burst into wild laughter. "So, do you know what kind of person he is? What kind of person would someone be who likes to exploit bugs for personal gain?"
Oh, about this, I can give you an analogy based on your past life.
On your Earth, there was once a very popular game called PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG).
A very, very bad player, eliminated immediately upon landing.
To prove themselves, they spend money to buy cheats, thus satisfying their vanity.
What would you call such a person on your Earth?
"Idiot!" Lin Mo blurted out instinctively.
Yes, Zhao Wushi, he does know a lot about the system's bugs.
But, even though this guy's character is bad, he's still much better than your system.
You fucking harvest faith, in the end you'll kill me!
For some reason, the black cat seemed to be able to read Lin Mo's mind and spoke up, "Host! Are you so sure that everything that guy said is true?"
Lin Mo, “…”
"Hehe, you're probably thinking, 'My system is a rip-off, it keeps giving you these utterly depraved tasks,'" Black Cat continued. "But if you were given another chance, would you make a different choice?"
To put it another way: If you were given another chance, would you let Wei Maozhen go? Would you let Li Hu go? Would you coexist peacefully with them?
Hmph, let me tell you.
Even if you let them off the hook at first, they won't be grateful to you.
The evil in people's hearts is beyond your imagination.
They will initially submit to your force.
But in private, they secretly build up their power, waiting for the day when they are strong enough to seize power by force!
Are there few such examples on Earth?
"Where there's a will, there's a way; three thousand Yue soldiers can conquer Wu!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo trembled. "Goujian!"
"Heh, the game of power. You kill him, or he kills you!" Black Cat continued, "Even the wise and benevolent Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, still killed his two brothers and forced his father to abdicate. If he hadn't done those things, he would have been the one to die!"
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
"You hate me because of the corruption value, which makes you so resistant to me!" the black cat said. "But let me ask you, your corruption value is currently S, does that have a big impact on you?"
Oh, lust. It makes you even more lustful.
But then again, did this thing make you lose out?
So-called corruption is nothing more than the maximization of human desires.
Anyone who stands at the pinnacle of power will be influenced by their inner desires.
Some people follow their nature, killing and indulging in wanton pleasures.
However, some people are able to control their desires.
The corruption manifested by the system is merely a direct description of the host's own desires.
Lin Mo gradually realized that what the system said made a lot of sense!
At this moment, the black cat continued, "What did that guy promise you? A distorted space obtained by separating yourself from the real world? Is that what you want? I can give you that too. It's just an item from the system shop."
Also, can you create your own historical heroes?
This is even simpler; once your system reaches a certain level, you'll get a discount when exchanging generals.
Beat them until they feel like they have a broken bone!
"Holy crap!" Lin Mo exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehe, so, are you willing to cooperate?" the black cat said. "Tell me where that guy is, and I can give you everything he promised! Including your corruption points, I can even remove them for you."
Make your choice, host!
Lin Mo, “…”
