When these things are mentioned, the system feels that it, as an AI, is very wronged.
"After bringing you into this world, I was forced into hibernation due to some shock and lost contact with you. I managed to save up some energy, but it was pushed away by Shen Shiyue. I had no choice but to continue to be forced into hibernation and look for an opportunity to contact you, but I failed the first few times. It took a lot of effort to contact you this time. I managed to connect with you when he wasn't paying attention, but because my energy was exhausted, I had to go into hibernation again."
Wen Shuqiao thought for a moment: "Was it Shen Shiyue who impacted you?"
"Yes, it's him." The system couldn't help but sigh again.
“But he’s a human, how could he affect you, an AI?” Wen Shuqiao felt completely confused: “How did he end up residing in Can Can’s brain?”
"Originally, Shen Shiyue's world was just a created novel, but after the book ended, Shen Shiyue's uncle, Shen Jiazhou, suddenly awakened and jumped into the sea. His death triggered a series of butterfly effects." The system said, "Shen Shiyue couldn't accept Shen Jiazhou's death, so the novel world collapsed."
Wen Shuqiao's doubts deepened, and the system didn't hide anything, continuing to explain: "As the main character of the novel's world, Shen Shiyue can be said to exist because of him. His emotions and growth are the nourishment for that world, supporting its operation. After he collapses, the world can no longer absorb nourishment and can only collapse."
Wen Shuqiao understood. It's similar to a phone needing to be charged when it runs out of power; otherwise, it can't be used.
Shen Shiyue is the charger for world consciousness.
"After his collapse, the world of the novel also began to collapse. In order to save itself, the world consciousness created a second world, which is the world you are in now. My existence is to find the right person, bring them to this world, and intervene to prevent this world from collapsing again."
Even though it has become a parallel universe, Shen Shiyue is still the main source of energy in this world.
"Where did the original Su Shuqiao go?" Wen Shuqiao asked. "How come she looks exactly like me?"
“Su Shuqiao doesn’t look like you.” The system replied, “We brought your body with us. This world will automatically correct some bugs, so in their eyes, you and Su Shuqiao look exactly the same.”
"Su Shuqiao has been taken by another system to do a mission, but I don't know exactly what she's doing."
"You can't believe it?" Wen Shuqiao was somewhat surprised. She then asked, "So what is my mission?"
She paused for a moment: "Prevent Shen Jiazhou from committing suicide?"
"Not entirely," the system said. "You have three missions in total. Preventing Shen Jiazhou from committing suicide is only one of them. The most important mission is to give Cancan a strong heart so that even if Shen Jiazhou awakens to death again, he will have the courage to face it calmly."
Face it calmly.
Wen Shuqiao almost laughed when she heard those four words.
Orphaned at a young age, and with even his only loving uncle unable to bear it, he committed suicide. Who could calmly face such a life?
"Although we haven't been able to contact you or assign you any tasks, it seems you're doing a great job so far."
The male protagonist of this world, Can Can, and his uncle are both living very happily.
Wen Shuqiao asked, "You mentioned three tasks, does finding Shen Shiyue count as one of them?"
"This is a temporary task." The system's tone became lighter at this moment: "The third task is actually yourself. I am the Perfect Life System. If the host is not happy, how can it be considered a perfect life? I have detected that you are very happy right now."
Wen Shuqiao never expected that she would be the third person to be assigned the task.
"You have completed all three tasks very well. Shen Jiazhou will not commit suicide, Can Can will not break down, and you are happy." The system set off an electronic firework for Wen Shuqiao on the screen: "The ten million you won is only a phase reward. The remaining rewards will be distributed after you complete the time-limited tasks."
The implication is that if she doesn't find Shen Shiyue, she only gets a reward of ten million, so the second "yes or no" option was just a joke.
Wen Shuqiao composed herself and asked, "Why do we have to find him? Isn't he already in Can Can's mind?"
"He's not here." The system's tone became more serious. "He's hiding. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry to issue you that time-limited mission."
Wen Shuqiao took a deep breath. Her mind was in a complete mess. After a while, she asked, "Why is this a time-limited mission? What if we can't find him within ten days? Or will the world collapse if we can't find him?"
"This world will not collapse. This world is now powered by Can Can," the system said. "From the moment you unintentionally changed their fate, this world has been different."
Before Wen Shuqiao could completely relax, she heard the system say, "If we don't find him within ten days, either he has found a suitable host and replaced the other person, or he has completely disappeared, and the novel world he was in has completely collapsed."
A suitable host?
Wen Shuqiao sensed something was amiss: "Can this host be anything? Or is it..."
"He can reside in any living body, but there is only one body he can replace, and that is Can Can's body." The system said ruthlessly, "Can Can is Shen Shiyue, and Shen Shiyue is Can Can. If he chooses to replace Can Can, then there is nothing we can do. As the male lead, his power is actually above ours."
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been forced into hibernation so many times.
