"No...no, I am the system."
"...What is that thing?" he said, his face expressionless.
"You're a piece of trash!!!"
“...Ahem, I mean, I am System 038 from a distant technological time and space.” The stone spirit said proudly, and the pride in his tone made Hua Cai wonder where this guy’s confidence came from.
However, Hua Cai was very interested in what the stone spirit said.
"The technological world, is it the technological world from the storybook Xiao Kong brought me? A world where mortals can fly in the sky!"
"That's right, but... who is Xiao Kong? He's been to the technological world. Could he be a wild system?" Emma, it's been so many years since the stone spirit has encountered its own kind. The stone spirit was excited.
"Xiao Kong is a time-space beast that can travel between different minor worlds, but my merit is too shallow, so he can't take me out to play." Hua Cai said dejectedly.
The system remained silent for a moment, then suddenly became excited. "I can take you there."
"Are you a divine beast even more powerful than Xiao Kong?" Hua Cai stared disdainfully at the stone in front of her. To be honest, she really didn't realize it.
"No." The Time-Space Beast—it seems pretty powerful.
"Then how are you going to take me there?" Hua Cai was greatly disappointed and angrily rolled up her sleeves: "Our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan has very keen senses. If you dare to lie to me—"
System: (...Look at that crack in the ground over there.)
How dare he?
"I'm just taking your consciousness out and into the body of someone in the small world." With this matter of life and death at stake, the system was terrified that if it explained too late, it wouldn't even have a chance to be recycled and would be smashed to ashes with a single punch.
The perverts of this world—we can't beat them, we can't beat them.
"Oh, how did you come to this world?" Hua Cai threw the stone spirit on the ground in front of him, knowing he wouldn't dare to run away.
"this..."
*Whoosh...* Four tails stood upright, pointing skyward.
......
Well, a good system doesn't suffer immediate losses.
"The previous host died during a mission in this world, and I've been trapped here ever since." The system felt incredibly frustrated when it talked about this.
"How did he die?" Hua Cai tried hard to recall if any remarkable figures had fallen in recent years.
"Uh... you killed it." The system said weakly, nervously pulling down the two clumps of grass to cover the stone.
"!!! What! How is this possible!" Hua Cai grabbed the system that was pretending to be dead: "Wait, the one I slapped to death, in all my life, I've only ever slapped one wolf demon lover of Wu Mu who provoked me several times, could it be her?"
"Yes, yes." The system struggled as it was held in Hua Cai's hand.
Hua Cai roared in anger: "Tell me, what is your purpose!"
"No, no, it's not what you think." Speaking of the wolf demon, the system was a hundred times more heartbroken than Hua Cai: "The wolf demon in the original small world was kind-hearted, but died tragically. It wanted to avoid a tragic death and become a strong person so that no one in this world would dare to mess with it. Who knew that the former host was greedy for shortcuts and thought that by associating with Wu Mu, he could also roam freely in the Three Realms. So... the system can't forcibly interfere with how the host chooses to carry out the mission. I'm so bitter."
"Then why choose Wu Mu? He's not as powerful as Father." Hua Cai expressed strong contempt for the wolf demon's choice. Everyone knew that her father was the most powerful in the entire demon race.
Hua Chong was caught in the crossfire.
Does choosing the father mean everything will be fine? Is this daughter even their biological child?
"But Wu Mu became powerful soon after coming of age. In the original story, Wu Mu became one of the strongest beings in this world. In addition, the nine-tailed fox has nine lives, while others only have one. Naturally, no one dares to provoke him." Although the system felt that its former host had a screw loose, it had to admit that if it had to choose a person to attach itself to, there was really no one more suitable than Wu Mu.
"So powerful, how does it compare to Father?" Hua Cai frowned. If even her father was no match for Wu Mu, then if she fell into his hands, wouldn't she be at his mercy?
For some reason, when she saw Wu Mu just now, she felt a sense of fear emanating from the depths of her soul.
"Ahem, more or less." The system carefully chose its tone, afraid that any word might provoke the little fox in its current irritable state.
The future power of Wumu is far beyond its capabilities.
Hua Cai felt an even heavier weight in her heart, an unnamed pressure making it hard for her to breathe.
She could easily understand what the system meant: Wu Mu would be even more powerful than Hua Zhong in the future, and he was still so young.
Even someone as disgusted as Hua Cai had to admit the fox's genius. Her aptitude in the fox clan was exceptional, yet she had only cultivated four tails, while Wu Mu already had six.
Not only could she not beat him, but even her father would be unable to defeat him in the future. Hua Cai instantly realized that without strength, she would likely face a very miserable future.
If we let his father kill him before he grows up, to prevent future troubles—
Hua Cai clenched her fist and suddenly felt a wave of weakness.
With her father in this state, how could she possibly listen to anything he said?
Seeing Hua Cai's clenched fist, the system felt a sudden sense of crisis, shuddered, and hurriedly said, "I...I...I can help you become stronger—"
After a pause, Hua Cai looked at the grassy rock with disdain: "You? I could crush you with one hand, how can you help me become stronger?"
System depression.
I feel so frustrated.
homesick.
I want to be a programmer.
I want to think about the main system.
But I have no energy and can't go home.
My system is so miserable.
The system wiped away non-existent tears and said in a pitiful tone, "I can take you to other small worlds to do missions. Once the missions are completed, you will receive merit points, and with the Heavenly Dao protecting you, your cultivation will naturally soar. More importantly, this kind of merit bestowed by the Heavenly Dao will absolutely not have any backlash."
"What benefits do you have? Don't tell me it's for your own good. I'm not stupid." Hua Cai remained unmoved.
"When the host completes the task, the system can obtain energy points. With enough energy points, the system can choose a new host, return to the main system, or purchase more advanced items to upgrade itself." The system timidly confessed, its tone filled with longing.
"That's something I could consider." It sounds like... there's no harm in it?
"This system is only a three-hundred-year-old child, it won't lie." The system's voice suddenly became anxious: "A demon is coming, if we don't leave now it will be too late."
It had no confidence that it could take away their little princess right under the noses of these powerful people.
"Leave me a message, don't turn this into a kidnapping." Although Hua Cai thought Hua Zhong was being unreasonable, if she suddenly fell into a deep sleep and never woke up, Hua Zhong would probably be very anxious, and might even be taken advantage of by Wu Mu, that wicked fox.
A flash of white light.
"All done, let's go."
Hua Cai's body collapsed instantly at the cave entrance.
At the same time, a group of people appeared at the cave entrance and were startled to see Hua Cai lying there.
"Who? A demon has infiltrated?"
Hua Chong, holding Hua Cai, immediately noticed the words on the stone wall—Hua Cai's notes.
"The Great Way and its merits are what my heart yearns for. You wish to cultivate yourself into a nine-tailed being. All is well, do not worry."
