Chapter 10 The Mysterious System
Xiang Bei suddenly realized why she had appeared in this strange place.
She kicked the big screen twice, saying, "So it was your system that was causing this mess. Get out here!"
How could this happen? Why did this happen?
Xiang Bei sensed a feeling of wanting to cry but being unable to because of the electronic voice.
But right now, she's the one who should be crying.
She was off work and ready to enjoy her vacation when, inexplicably, a car came crashing into her, and to make matters worse, she was dragged into this space by this strange system.
A string of code appeared on the big screen.
Xiang Bei glanced at it; it was very complicated and she couldn't understand it.
But we do know that it is this system that is analyzing the current situation.
As the code piled up, it looked like things were getting out of control.
She leaned against the wall with her arms crossed and kicked it. "System, have you found out what caused this?"
"Wait a moment, it'll be right away. I've already rewound to that day's events," the system said urgently.
After a long while, the system's voice came again, "My God, I've found the reason."
"Really? Can you tell me about it?" Xiang Bei asked with a smile, looking at the big screen.
But that smile looked a little creepy.
The large screen flashed, and then a ball of light appeared and floated in front of Xiang Bei.
The blinding light immediately reminded Xiang Bei of the white light that suddenly appeared when the car hit her.
She grabbed the ball of light in front of her.
It was very soft. She squeezed it in her hand and kneaded it for a while, then threw it on the ground. She kicked it ten or eight times, but she was still not satisfied. She then picked up a stick next to her and hit it a few times with force.
The system greeted him very politely, "My dear host, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Xiang Bei stomped on it, saying, "Which one is your host? Don't try to claim kinship with me."
"Okay, host, but I don't feel anything when you hit me like this. I'm just a string of numbers. Hitting a number won't hurt me at all."
Xiang Bei stopped what she was doing. No wonder the broken system hadn't reacted at all after she'd been rubbing for so long; it just didn't feel anything.
She leaned on the stick and looked at the system that had floated up again. "Let me out, quickly."
"It can't be released," the system said weakly.
"What?"
"It's not that I don't want to let you out, it's that your body has died on its own. In human terms, you're dead beyond recognition."
As the system spoke, a picture appeared on the big screen: a pile of minced meat on the road.
Of course, the parts covered in minced meat were thoughtfully blurred out, so she didn't see her own mutilated state.
The post also included a news report stating that she was hit by a car because she wasn't paying attention while walking.
"Bullshit, this is utterly alarmist!" Xiang Bei spat at the big screen.
It was clearly the other person who ran a red light. What did she do to deserve this while crossing the road in a normal manner?
Running a red light and then acting like it's okay? Looks like someone who's been drinking and driving.
"Host, calm down first. The situation is indeed not good. When you were in trouble, I fell into your body because I was short of energy. The system's self-rescue function took in your soul."
"My soul?"
Xiang Bei pinched herself again. She said, "I knew it. It would be strange if she didn't feel any pain no matter how I pinched her."
"Yes, I am from a high-tech, high-civilization system. Every system is code created by imitating the human soul. When you, host, died, your soul flew out and was mistaken for a system by the self-rescue function, so it was taken into my space."
"So I can't get out now?"
"That's right, because your soul is bound to the system itself, to put it simply, you are the system now."
"I am the system, what are you?"
"I'm a system too, I'm system 9639."
The system chuckled somewhat sheepishly, "According to your human terms, we should now be one body with two souls, hehehe."
Xiang Bei slapped him across the face, "Hey, you big dummy."
System 9639 was slapped against the wall by her.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
"Stop trying to extort money. Didn't you say your system is just a string of code and doesn't feel any pain?"
"But host, you have replaced me as the system. After I regain energy and awaken, you will gain most of my abilities. If the host's dissatisfaction with me reaches a certain level, I will also feel pain."
Xiang Bei stared at the system and understood why she was able to summon the sofa and her bed.
That's because the system left some residual power for her. The sofa and bed aren't actually real; they're just virtual things created by her mental power. They didn't come from her house.
Even juice and food can be created as much as she wants using her telekinesis.
However, you can only taste it, since it's virtual, so no matter how much you eat, you won't feel full.
Of course, now that she's a system, she doesn't feel hungry.
The ball of light slowly transformed into the shape of a cat, an orange tabby cat from the neighborhood. Whenever Xiang Bei came home and saw it, she would buy it some things to feed it. The big orange tabby was very attached to her.
I once thought of taking it home to raise, but it ran away.
Although most of System 9639's abilities were transferred to Xiang Bei, it still retained some abilities.
Knowing that this orange cat was the animal Xiang Bei liked the most, he quickly conjured up a virtual image of the orange cat, hoping to gain her forgiveness.
Xiang Bei saw through its disguise at a glance and grabbed it.
"Stop with the nonsense and tell me, how can I get out?"
System 9639 was almost completely turned back into a string of code by her.
"I'll talk, I'll talk."
Xiang Bei loosened her grip on it somewhat.
"Once the mission is complete, as long as I have enough energy, I can send the host back to a few minutes before the car accident, and I can also warn the host to avoid the car accident."
"real?"
"Host, you have most of my energy within you; you should be able to sense it."
Xiang Bei looked at System 9639 with some skepticism, but in the end she decided to believe it this time, since she had no other choice.
"You mean Lin Beibei is the female protagonist in the novel?"
"Yes." The orange figure that the system had conjured nodded and spoke in human language.
Xiang Bei still didn't quite understand, so she told the system that everything she said here was being converted into comments, "Then what's going on?"
"I don't know, I don't have that program setting."
Seeing Xiang Bei glaring at it, System 9639 quickly said, "I have already sent a message to the main system. I have extracted a portion of the information you mentioned and sent it to the main system."
"Why do you keep calling me host?" Xiang Bei asked, puzzled.
"Because our system needs to execute a task, and you are the one who meets the criteria to execute the task. However, when I found you, I was already low on energy, so I planned to mark you first. When the main system detects this, it will recharge my energy. I didn't expect this to happen."
Xiang Bei's hand gripped System 9639's neck again.
"According to our system's usual practice, completing each mission world will reward you with 100 million yuan..."
"How much?" Xiang Bei immediately let go of the large orange in her hand.
"A reward of 100 million yuan."
Fearing being caught again, System 9639 transformed back into a ball of light and floated into the air.
Xiang Bei suddenly laughed and pulled the ball of light back.
I even wiped away some non-existent dust from it.
"Did I hear that right? It really is one hundred million yuan? It's not ghost money, is it? It's not Zimbabwean dollars?"
"It's the 100 million yuan that exists in the host world, which can only be obtained by successfully completing the mission."
"What's money to me? I just enjoy doing missions," Xiang Bei said with a smile and a wave of her hand.
The system felt like it was a jumble of gibberish; it thought the host's thoughts were too complex for it to understand.
However, in order to prevent the host from actually breaking down its code, System 9639 still intends to appease its host.
"Since you don't want this bonus, host, then I'll apply to the main system to cancel the 100 million yuan reward?"
The next second, the system was slammed to the ground by Xiang Bei.
"You dare! If you touch a single penny of my money, I'll tear this piece of junk apart."
Thinking that she was now the system, Xiang Bei added, "I'll take you down with me, you broken system."
The system became even more chaotic. "Do you want money or not?"
"Yes, not a penny less."
The system thought human thoughts were incredibly complex. Although they were code created to simulate human souls, they didn't have such complex thoughts.
But it dared not speak, fearing that Xiang Bei would hit it again.
He changed the subject, saying, "Originally, you were supposed to become the female lead, Lin Beibei, and do this mission, but unexpectedly, this deviation occurred, which also brought me energy by chance and awakened me."
According to the system, Xiang Bei was supposed to transmigrate into the female protagonist Lin Beibei in the book, but she ended up entering the system space herself. Moreover, she even accidentally started communicating with Lin Beibei in the system space in the form of bullet comments.
Lin Beibei is the female protagonist of a tragic novel, but the appearance of Xiang Bei changes the original course of some things, leading to a chain reaction in the later events.
"Stop talking nonsense, is there a plot? Let me see it first."
"some."
System 9639 gently touched Xiang Bei's fingertip, and a series of codes appeared around her. She also automatically read the novel with Lin Beibei as the main character.
The female protagonist, Lin Beibei, went to work as a waitress at a club to raise money for her mother's medical treatment, thanks to the introduction of her roommate, Yu Jing.
At the club, men often tried to grope her because she was pretty.
But in order to pay for her mother's medical treatment, Lin Beibei had no choice but to endure the harassment and continue working.
After all, the tips those people gave were quite substantial, and with her salary, she could also buy her mother some imported medicines with better efficacy.
But one day, when she went to deliver wine, she ran into Wu Chi and his group. Seeing that she looked like Gu Tingyun's fiancée, Wu Chi deliberately humiliated her in front of Gu Tingyun.
Wu Chi took out the suitcase next to him, smiled and took out 10,000 yuan, saying that he would give her 10,000 yuan if she wanted to have a drink.
Lin Beibei looked at the wine on the table, then at the money. For her mother's sake, she picked up the glass and drank.
She doesn't have a high alcohol tolerance to begin with; one glass and she's already dizzy and disoriented.
After having a few drinks, when I woke up, I found myself lying on a hotel bed, with Gu Tingyun sitting not far away.
Lin Beibei didn't remember what happened, and only after asking Sister Lan did she learn that Gu Tingyun had helped her in the private room.
She drank three glasses of wine that day, and Gu Tingyun helped her get the 30,000 yuan back.
She was grateful to Gu Tingyun, and when she learned that Gu Tingyun had found an English tutor for her niece, she offered to go instead.
She wanted to repay Gu Tingyun for helping her.
