Chapter 39
After hearing all this, Xiang Baiwei opened his mouth wide.
Everything was going in a completely different direction than he had imagined.
Moreover, it turns out that even the boss couldn't solve the dungeon bug problem.
At this moment, a loud noise came from the corridor outside.
Xiang Bai reacted immediately and quickly assumed a fighting stance and rushed outside.
The ceiling in the corridor was smashed through, forming a huge hole. A tall figure stood on the rubble.
Colleagues from the Supervision Department hurried over, looking up and threatening, "Jiang Wubai, I advise you to surrender immediately. Our colleagues from the Supervision Department have surrounded this area. You will not be able to escape!"
A cold smile appeared on Jiang Wubai's handsome face, and his voice was a little wild.
"You guys, you still want to stop me?"
After he finished speaking, Jiang Wubai slowly raised his hand and pointed at the colleague in charge from the Supervision Department.
The clothes on the colleague from the Supervision Department turned into rags in an instant. When the man realized what was happening, his face suddenly turned red and he quickly covered his lower body.
"Jiang Wubai! You——"
He was about to start cursing, but the next second his whole body suddenly began to hang in the air uncontrollably.
The cloth strips on his body were already a little shaky, and after being lifted into the air, they could no longer cover his body.
"Hold me! Hold me!"
The man sent out a distress signal to his colleagues around him.
The other members of the Supervision Section quickly reached out to pull the man.
Jiang Wubai curled the corners of his lips indifferently, and stretched out his fingers to draw circles in the air as if playing a prank.
The man floating in the air covered his lower body and began to spin in the air as controlled by Jiang Wubai.
The scene became chaotic and became Jiang Wubai's playground.
When Jiang Lele and Xu Zhongguo arrived at the scene, Jiang Wubai had already stripped off the clothes of many members of the Supervision Section who were present.
"Jiang Wubai, for the sake of an old man like me, please don't bother them." Xu Zhongguo saw the mess at the scene and shook his head helplessly.
Jiang Wubai's eyes swept across Xu Zhongguo, and finally his gaze stopped on Jiang Lele.
The originally cold and lifeless eyes instantly became a little gentler, "Master, I'm here to see you."
As he spoke, Jiang Wubai no longer cared about bothering the members of the Supervision Department. He carefully came to Jiang Lele and looked up nervously to observe Jiang Lele's expression.
"Master, you really don't remember me?"
Jiang Lele came back to his senses and said, "Ah, I guess I remember it."
Although a lot of memories suddenly appeared in her mind, she always had a feeling that she was watching others go through these things, and it was difficult for her to accept for a while that she had once been in such an identity.
Jiang Wubai breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at Xu Zhongguo, his gentle expression immediately disappeared, and was replaced by a hint of coldness.
"You old bastard!"
Just as Jiang Wubai was about to vent his anger on Xu Zhongguo, he was stopped by Jiang Lele.
Jiang Lele's expression was serious: "Stop making trouble, I have some important things to deal with now."
Jiang Wubai, who had been so arrogant just now, immediately shut up and quietly withdrew his attack.
Xu Zhongguo quickly disbanded the guards of the Supervisory Department and issued an order to suspend the operation of all copies of the Samsara World.
Not long after, Yang Yufei and the other two were called into the office.
Xu Zhongguo briefly recounted everything that had happened in the copy.
Yang Yufei and Su Rui both widened their eyes, looking a little surprised.
Chu Yue'er lowered her head and remained silent, looking like she had something on her mind.
"Ever since the dungeon started to frequently have bugs, I've been looking for a solution. But as you can see, the dungeon bugs haven't stopped, but have become even worse."
There was a hint of helplessness in Xu Zhongguo's old voice.
Jiang Wubai folded his hands in front of him and laughed sarcastically, "It's just a system. If it doesn't obey, just tear it down and replace it with an obedient one."
Xu Zhongguo sighed. "The system now is completely different from what it was a few years ago. Before, it was more like a sophisticated, artificial machine. But in recent years, the system's tone of voice has become increasingly human-like, even showing anger and rage."
"A few years ago, when the dungeon first started to frequently experience bugs, I wanted to check the system's core program. However, once the system realized I was trying to access the system's core, it immediately lowered my permissions and became very resistant to my approach."
"Its behavior is more like it has developed a human-like consciousness, starting to doubt and resist everything around it."
Jiang Lele glanced over and asked, "So no one can access the core system program now?"
Xu Zhongguo shook his head, "No."
Yang Yufei quickly began to summarize the current problem: "In other words, the frequent bugs in the dungeon in recent years are likely due to a malfunction in the core system program. However, the system is very cautious about outsiders' access, so now there is no solution."
Xu Zhongguo nodded, "You can say that."
Yang Yufei continued, "So the first thing we need to do now is to find an opportunity to get close to the core program of the system."
Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Zhongguo again.
Xu Zhongguo, however, looked at Jiang Lele and said, "The Rose Manor dungeon is closest to the core system program. So after clearing that dungeon, players will gain permission to modify the core system program. Miss Jiang should have already obtained this permission."
Jiang Lele remembered that this prompt did pop up when she completed the copy.
"Yeah." Jiang Lele nodded in agreement.
Xu Zhongguo continued, "So currently, Miss Jiang is the only person in the entire dungeon world who has access to the core program of the main system."
After hearing so much, Jiang Lele probably understood what Xu Zhongguo meant.
Jiang Lele's eyes lit up with curiosity. "You want me to get closer to the core program of the main system, but based on the information you just told me, there's no way this system will listen to me and make instructions that are not in its own interests. Even if I have the chance to get close to the core of the main system, I won't be able to make any changes. Isn't this a futile effort?"
Xu Zhongguo's eyes turned dark.
"Not really. Although the current main system has begun to develop its own little tricks, it also has its shortcomings. For example, when it's angry, it can't perform precise and accurate systematic calculations, and it may make mistakes."
"I've tried it before. If a sudden, serious incident occurs within the instance that could affect the system, its monitoring range will begin to shrink. In order to resolve the incident as quickly as possible, the main system core will focus all its attention on resolving it, ignoring everything else."
Everyone understood what Xu Zhongguo meant.
If another accident that threatens the system occurs when Jiang Lele is modifying the core program of the main system, the system will concentrate on dealing with the other accident and pay less attention to Jiang Lele.
Chu Yue'er, who had been silent all this time, finally raised her head and said, "I have a way."
Jiang Lele and the others' eyes fell on Chu Yue'er.
Chu Yueer continued, "I once accidentally tore the black hole in the copy, and then I was warned by the system. I guess that once the copy is torn or something more serious happens, it will attract the attention of the system. If so many of us at the same time-"
Before he could finish his words, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the room.
[Alert! Alert! The system is about to activate its self-protection function.]
The cold mechanical sound spread throughout the entire copy, and the sharp and urgent sound made people subconsciously feel nervous.
Xu Zhongguo's face changed and he stood up suddenly.
"Oh no, the system must have discovered we were discussing it."
In an instant, a striking red light suddenly appeared in the room, and the beam quickly scanned every corner of the room.
When the red light beam swept over Jiang Lele, she felt a powerful suction force stripping away her consciousness and body.
Jiang Lele frowned, strained his body, raised his eyes and glared at the red light.
The originally arrogant red light seemed to realize that it had encountered a tough opponent, so it ignored her and quickly swept towards other people.
In just a few seconds, red light filled the entire room, and the atmosphere became extremely strange.
When Jiang Lele came to her senses, everyone around her had disappeared.
"Oh my god! I finally fixed the system bug."
The little melon suddenly bubbled up, as if relieved.
Jiang Lele: "We've been struggling for a long time, and you've just finished repairing it?"
Xiaogua was stunned.
Eh? Wait, something seems wrong.
After a few seconds, the little melon, suddenly possessed by a tangle of unfamiliar memories, erupted in a furious scream. "That damned system! It actually forced me out of the main system, which led to this massive bug. But without me, it's probably just bug patches now. Serves me right!"
During the Rose Manor copy, Xiaogua automatically entered hibernation because the system repair program was activated.
The entire restoration was only just completed.
But surprisingly, Xiaogua not only successfully fixed the bug that caused her signal to leak, but also restored all the information memory that she had previously lost!
Then Xiaogua realized that it was actually a part of the main system program of this world, so it had the ability to control the entire world and various monitoring permissions!
After listening to her babble, Jiang Lele hesitated for a long time.
Before she could say anything, Xiaogua suddenly became serious.
"Host, please go to the main system core program room now. I will help you bypass all surveillance and guards."
She probably already knew the whole story through the previous system's surveillance video.
Jiang Lele didn't waste any more time, summoned his mace and walked out of the empty room.
The location of the copy supervision department is near the core program room of the main system, and the overall decoration style exudes a futuristic and technological feel.
The entire corridor is made of metal mecha, which is hard and cold, giving people a mysterious and high-end feeling.
Jiang Lele walked along the corridor and came to a room filled with various monitoring devices.
At the door of the room, there is a metal electronic door.
As soon as Jiang Lele walked to the door, the monitoring equipment on the electronic door automatically activated the facial recognition function.
An electronic beep sounded: [It has been detected that the player does not have permission to enter the core program room of the main system. The alarm program will be activated soon...]
Just as the electronic sound was about to start, Xiaogua sneered, "You are worthy of touching my host!"
After the words fell, Xiaogua didn't know what he did. The electronic door that was shouting about activating the alarm program a second ago suddenly fell silent.
Xiaogua said arrogantly: "Host, just push the door open and come in. I have blocked this program."
You know what, he really does look a bit domineering.
Jiang Lele pushed open the door and walked into the main system core programming room.
There was a dead atmosphere in the room, and the cold machines in the room were still operating step by step, like an unmanned automated processing factory, with each machine working independently.
"Host, do you see that automated machine in the middle? Press the red button on it. This is the replica system reset function. Once pressed, the current system's memory and self-awareness will be instantly cleared and reset, and the replica bug will be fixed."
Jiang Lele frowned.
She thought this was a troublesome matter to deal with, but it turns out that all she had to do was press a button?
Jiang Lele didn't hesitate any longer, walked forward and pressed the red button.
After waiting for two seconds, there was no response.
Jiang Lele frowned, "What's going on?"
Xiaogua hesitated for a long time. "Oh my god! This thief system has moved the reset button to prevent people from stealing my house!"
After swearing, Xiaogua disappeared and quickly went to look for the reset button.
Jiang Lele leaned against the machine next to him boredly.
But not long after, for some unknown reason, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded.
The machines that were originally working normally began to flash red lights wildly, and the whole room fell into chaos.
"Host, run! This damn system actually installed a monitoring alarm device on itself on its own initiative. It has already discovered us. I will take you directly to find the reset button. Just press the reset button and it will be over." Xiaogua said seriously.
Jiang Lele could sense the urgency of the situation, so he left quickly without saying anything more.
At the same time, several people who were forcibly pulled into other copy spaces by the system finally came to their senses.
Yang Yufei opened her eyes in confusion and looked around.
This was a forest covered in green, probably a copy she had never entered before.
Wasn't she just discussing countermeasures with Lele and the others? Why did she suddenly come here?
Yang Yufei was hesitating when a gloomy voice sounded in her ears.
"That shameless system separated Lele and me again!" Jiang Wubai's anger continued to surge.
He suddenly raised his hand and clenched his palm tightly towards a tree next to him that was so thick that two people could hug it.
The moment he clenched his five fingers, the thriving old tree suddenly burst open, and fresh branches and leaves splashed through the air.
This scene immediately frightened Yang Yufei so much that she shut up, took a step back, and tried to reduce her presence.
On the other side, Chu Yue'er and Su Rui walked over together.
The two of them were relatively calm, but their expressions weren't particularly good at the moment.
"What does this system want to do by separating us and Lele?" Chu Yue'er looked up at Xu Zhongguo opposite her.
That’s right, all of them were suddenly pulled into this copy world by the system.
Only Jiang Lele was not there.
Xu Zhongguo's face was filled with solemnity. "Judging from what happened just now, the system must have heard our discussion. Ms. Jiang is the only person currently authorized to access the system, so she will definitely be the focus of the system."
Su Rui was a little worried, "So what should we do now?"
The atmosphere among the crowd suddenly became silent.
Only Jiang Wubai had a sullen face, his cold eyes fixed on the sky above the dungeon. "You guys retreat! I'm going to smash this dungeon to pieces! I don't believe he won't let me out!"
As he spoke, Jiang Wubai suddenly raised his hand.
Everyone could feel that a powerful force was gathering in Jiang Wubai's palm.
This powerful force caused the surrounding space to begin to distort.
Xu Zhongguo and several others withdrew from Jiang Wubai's attack range.
At that moment, Xiaogua's voice suddenly rang out from the horizon: "Time is running out, so I'll be brief. I've exploited a loophole in the system program and created a crack in this instance. In half a minute, this crack will appear in the sky. Fight along the crack. It's best to break through the instance and draw the attention of that damned system to you!"
After the words fell, Yang Yufei, Chu Yue'er and Su Rui looked at each other in surprise.
This is Lele’s little melon system.
It seems that Lele is fine now.
Xu Zhongguo, who had been tense all the time, suddenly relaxed for a moment. Then, he cheered up, "Everyone, don't hide your cards this time. Let's work together to get through this dungeon!"
Jiang Wubai snorted coldly, narrowed his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly, and the power gathering in his hands gradually grew stronger.
Yang Yufei, who had always kept her cards close to her chest, finally stopped hiding her strength.
She suddenly summoned a lottery machine with a stern face. "Everyone, come here and draw a prize. This is my item ability. Every player can use my lottery machine to draw an item every day. I'm not sure if every item will be useful, but it's better than nothing."
Chu Yue'er and Su Rui looked at Yang Yufei in surprise.
They have known Yang Yufei for a long time, but only today did they find out about her special ability.
Yang Yufei coughed lightly in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I've been hiding this from you guys."
Xu Zhongguo took the lead and started the lottery.
Each time the lottery machine is started, a prop will automatically drop.
Everyone took turns to draw the props.
Jiang Wubai disdained such useless weapons and props, and continued to concentrate on gathering strength.
Yang Yufei drew a reinforced rocket launcher, which is a disposable item and its power should not be underestimated.
Su Rui drew a pill that doubled her attack power. After taking it, she could quickly increase her attack power within five minutes without any side effects.
Xu Zhongguo and Chu Yue'er had bad luck and both drew useless things.
Xu Zhongguo's expression remained calm. "It's okay. I don't need these props."
When he was young, he was already able to sit firmly on the throne of the number one player with his own strength, and he said this with some confidence.
Chu Yue'er took a half step back to make room for everyone, "You guys go first, I'll finish."
Her tone was steady and her eyes contained a hint of certainty.
Just as everyone was ready, a black crack slowly appeared on the horizon. Like the black hole everyone had seen in the hospital, this crack was bottomless, seemingly swallowing up everything around it.
The void power condensed in Jiang Wubai's hands is enough to shatter and distort the surrounding space and time.
With a sullen face, he gently raised his hand and released all his strength towards the black crack.
In an instant, a huge storm seemed to form in the entire copy space, and the trees and grass within a radius of hundreds of miles began to be blown by the strong wind.
Chu Yue'er and the others around were also swept by the powerful airflow and took several steps back.
When Jiang Wubai's attack was about to reach the black crack, Yang Yufei and Su Rui instantly released all their strength to attack the black crack.
Several loud "boom" noises sounded one after another.
The entire copy was impacted by powerful forces and was constantly shaking.
The originally narrow black crack gradually grew larger after several consecutive attacks, and it seemed to be turning into a black hole.
Finally, it was the attack from Xu Zhongguo and Chu Yueer.
Although Xu Zhongguo is old, his strength should not be underestimated. With one blow, he caused the black crack to continue expanding outward.
"Great! If we keep taking turns like this, we'll definitely be able to destroy this dungeon!"
Yang Yufei said excitedly.
Just as everyone was about to continue playing another round, the black crack in the sky slowly began to shrink.
Xu Zhongguo frowned. "It seems the main system has noticed our attack and has already begun repairing the cracks. This is good news, as it proves we've successfully distracted some of the main system's attention."
At this time, on the other side, Xiang Bai sneaked back to the office and sat down at his workstation as if nothing had happened.
The other colleagues in the Supervision Department were just seriously injured by Jiang Wubai, and they should be recuperating in a low profile now.
Xiang Bai was the only living person in the entire office.
"Captain Xiang, I don't have access to the main system's firewall program, so I have to have someone manually disable it. Now you're left with nothing to do!"
Xiaogua's anxious voice suddenly sounded in Xiang Bai's mind.
Xiang Bai: “?”
Damn, he suddenly sneaked back just now because he didn’t want to get involved in these messes. Why are you looking for him again?
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Bai pretended not to hear and continued to rest with his eyes closed.
"Captain Xiang! The situation is extremely urgent. If you don't go now, it will be too late and everyone else's efforts will be in vain!"
Xiaogua screamed and shouted again and again to urge him.
Finally, Xiang Bai opened his eyes in frustration. He slammed his hands on the table and stood up, "What are you yelling for! If you want to be the savior, go ahead and do it. I'm just working honestly and being a social animal is fine. Why do you have to get me involved?"
"Captain Xiang, turn left, then right. Hurry up, there's still time. I can help you find the way!"
Xiang Bai stood up, cursing. "I'm really speechless. I get such a pittance every day, and I have to worry about selling explosives. Now I have to cooperate with you to blow up the system. Am I crazy? Am I crazy? "
Although his tone was very impatient, Xiang Bai didn't know why his hands and feet started moving uncontrollably.
"What? Which way are you turning?" Xiang Bai shouted even more angrily.
"Turn left when you get out! Then turn right!"
A few minutes later, there was a loud bang and the entire reincarnation world made a loud noise.
This huge turbulence instantly spread throughout the dungeon, and all the NPCs and players raised their heads curiously and subconsciously looked towards the horizon.
Since a few months ago, dungeons have frequently encountered bugs. As of today, dungeons of all levels have stopped operating, and both players and NPCs are now in a state of doing nothing.
Several NPCs in the exclusive copy of Alexander Castle started discussing.
"What do you think is the current situation of the dungeon?"
"Who cares? We don't have to participate in any dungeon missions anyway, so we can just enjoy ourselves now."
"That's right. Maybe those leaders in the Supervision Department will start thinking up new employee rules to abuse us again."
