Chapter 118 Afraid that Wen Yao's happiness was too free, without him.
Hanging up the phone, An Ruoruo breathed a sigh of relief. She curled her lips into a sneer, her eyes filled with disdain.
"This world is full of lunatics, it's better if it's destroyed sooner."
When she spoke softly to Fu Jinzhi, he avoided her like the plague; but when she was sarcastic, she could communicate with him. Ha!
An Ruoruo: "4399, how confident are you in devouring Wen Yao's system?"
4399 Mechanical Sound Sequence: [If you don't mess up, I have an 80% chance of success.]
4399: [A greenhorn embarking on his first mission is nothing to fear, even from a high-level system.]
After discovering that Wen Yao might possess a high-level system, 4399 issued an order to An Ruoruo: help it devour the high-level system at all costs, even if it means abandoning the mission in this world.
After all, by absorbing the high-level system, 4399 will undergo a comprehensive upgrade and evolution, making it more discreet when traversing various small worlds and greatly reducing the possibility of being detected by the main system.
In addition to a significant increase in safety, the skill set will also expand, making it easier to complete tasks.
Absorbing the energy of a small world is only a temporary benefit; the real advantages of devouring a high-level system are far-reaching.
This is the difference between frozen meat and Tang Monk's flesh (meat from the Tang Monk's body): one lets you eat your fill, the other lets you eat well.
When An Ruoruo and 4399 saw 8848 as a piece of Tang Monk's flesh, 8848 was also very excited.
It played a battle song in Wen Yao's mind, its voice rousing and impassioned: [Host, this will be the first achievement of my glorious life: successfully capturing the rebellious system on my first mission!]
Wen Yao's head was buzzing from the shock, and she managed to reply, "Is there any arrest plan?"
8848: [The plan is for me to ask my mom for a weapon and just shred that little bastard on the other side.]
Wen Yao's clear eyes revealed a tangible sense of speechlessness: "This counts as your record?"
The cacophony of battle songs finally subsided, and 8848 humbly sought guidance: [What is the host's insightful opinion?]
Wen Yao's eyes were gentle, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned: "I remember that your combat strength is very high. You are unmatched among your peers. How does that compare to a senior system?"
The mechanical voice of 8848 revealed arrogance: "In terms of pure combat strength, my brother and I are about the same; he's among the top five in combat strength at headquarters."
Although 666 always says he's not good at fighting, he is indeed a top-tier fighter in the system.
Wen Yao gasped. She knew 8848 was strong, but she didn't expect it to be this strong. It was a brute-force system that didn't need any qualifiers.
Thinking back to 8848's usual performance, Wen Yao was momentarily stunned: Is it strong? It's just that its intelligence has been traded.
It has the strength to fight, the intelligence to fight, and the ability to fight...
8848: […Host, I'm listening. Can you cricket me one more time?]
Wen Yao immediately became serious: "Next, I will explain our battle plan."
A glint of light flashed in Wen Yao's eyes: "You said before that the system cannot attack the system inside the host's body, but can only use special tools."
Wen Yao: "So under what circumstances would the system voluntarily detach from the host?"
8848 realized what was happening, its voice tinged with surprise: "Then naturally, the host has lost their usefulness. These rebellious systems don't have the same job requirements as our regular systems."
8848: [It can directly abandon its host and run away.]
After all, there are so many people with deep desires, and many of them could become task takers.
Thinking of this, 8848's voice carried a hint of admiration: [Host, you're truly cunning!]
Wen Yao's lips twitched. "That's called cleverness."
This stupid system doesn't know how to praise anyone.
After discussing countermeasures with the system, Wen Yao turned her attention back to the system.
She asked the kitchen for a cup of hot milk, hesitated slightly, and then placed it elegantly on a tray, looking quite professional.
She carried the plate into Fu Jinzhi's study.
Fu Jinzhi didn't work today; she was just habitually absorbing new knowledge.
The novel's world endowed him with the Fu Group, a massive and terrifying business empire encompassing manufacturing, services, high technology, trade, and other industries.
The difficulty naturally doubles as well. As a decision-maker, Fu Jinzhi doesn't need to be an industry expert, but he must be thoroughly familiar with the trends in various industries.
Therefore, even in his spare time, he is always studying.
Seeing Fu Jinzhi typing away at the computer with a serious and focused expression on his handsome face, Wen Yao hesitated and pursed her lips.
Or maybe we shouldn't bother him?
"What are you standing there for?" Fu Jinzhi's voice, tinged with amusement, rang out. Wen Yao met his beautiful peach blossom eyes and no longer hesitated.
She walked over to Fu Jinzhi, somewhat seriously, and asked, "Would you be willing to tell me in detail what An Ruoruo said today?"
Wen Yao covered Fu Jinzhi's hand: "I know this may not be a pleasant memory."
Wen Yao: "But it's probably because I care about you that I always want to know more about your past."
Wen Yao met Fu Jinzhi's eyes with sincere gaze, "If I keep quiet about it, there will always be a thorn in my heart."
"Our relationship will inevitably deteriorate as those thorns increase."
"Ah, anyway, after saying all that, I just want to know more about you." Wen Yao pouted. "You're not allowed to hate me because of this!"
Fu Jinzhi suddenly pulled Wen Yao onto his lap, buried his head in her gentle neck, and let out a low laugh: "So this is all the fuss about?"
Fu Jinzhi: "Yaoyao, you can ask me more questions. I'd love to tell you everything."
The fact that Wen Yao was willing to ask him shows that she cares about him, doesn't it?
Fu Jinzhi understands that his views on relationships are not normal. He was neglected in his childhood and took it for granted. As he grew older, however, he received far more attention and emotional investment than ordinary people because of his status.
He was somewhat arrogant and weary of this, believing that he did not need superfluous and intense emotions.
It wasn't until he fell in love with Wen Yao that he realized the resentment of being ignored had always existed. He needed Wen Yao to love him, to love him passionately and unconditionally until death.
This perfectly illustrates the saying, "People will ultimately be trapped by the things they could not obtain in their youth."
But he also understood that Wen Yao was free and shouldn't be too bound by emotions, just like him, unwilling to accept it.
This diametrically opposed emotion always made him feel anxious and insecure.
He wanted Wen Yao to be happy and free more than anyone else, but he was also afraid that Wen Yao's happiness and freedom would be without him.
Every day he suppressed his excessive possessiveness, but when he saw Wen Yao being willful and domineering towards him, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
See, she cares about me too.
Fu Jinzhi smiled as she spoke of her past grievances: "Actually, it's not a big deal."
"My eldest brother was the first child my parents had when they were most in love with each other, and they poured almost all their love and care into him."
"So when the eldest brother was diagnosed with congenital leukemia, it must have been a bolt from the blue for them."
Fu Jinzhi nuzzled Wen Yao with his chin: "My parents consulted countless experts, and the most suitable treatment plan is umbilical cord blood transplantation."
Fu Jinzhi: "So, I was born, and my older brother's surgery was also very successful."
