The follow-up of OE that "we" expect (Part 20)
Jiang Yuanshi and Z01 looked at each other. This day had finally come.
Regardless of whether this recall is true or false, they have been tricked into having paranoia and it is hard not to suspect that this is a trap.
The village chief outside the door stared at Z01: [Please return quickly, Z01, so as not to delay the host's subsequent tasks. ]
Z01: "Okay, but let me say a few words to the host before I leave."
[Please return quickly, Z01. The Lord God has requested this. Time is pressing.]
Z01 said calmly, "This is a temporary arrangement. Before I leave my post, I must take safety measures for my host. Otherwise, you will guarantee the safety of my host. Once my host has any mishaps, it will not only have a negative impact on my work, but will also cause other hosts and systems to have a negative view of the Lord God's decision. We cannot allow the Lord God's decision to add a stain, which will affect the reputation of the Transmigration Bookstore and everyone's performance, right?"
【……】
The superior system that issued the order was speechless. Xiaolong, who was lying on Z01's shoulder, clapped silently and marveled at the height of the ascent.
Z01 asked politely, "So what do you think?"
[…Of course you can, please do it as soon as possible, within 10 minutes.]
"Okay, thank you." Z01 said, and walked out with Jiang Yuanshi. The superior system was puzzled, [Where are you going? ]
Z01: "We're going to pick the vegetables. It's a lot of work. I need to help. Why? You want to come too?"
Probably because they didn't expect Z01 to do such a thing after buying time, the superior system refused in silence. Anyway, Z01 couldn't escape, so they let them go.
In order to expand the area, they also bought a piece of land outside the village and planted it with crops. Z01 harvested very quickly and finished the harvest with a wave of his hand. Jiang Yuanshi, who was leaning on his shoulder, said speechlessly: "So you were so honest in farming before on purpose?"
Z01: “You were the one who said you wanted to experience gaming life.”
Jiang Yuanshi: "Okay, but I didn't expect you to be so fast, so there are still 6 minutes left, what are you going to do?"
Z01 moved very fast, even teleporting. He waved his hand to kill the monsters in the wild and put them into his backpack. He then instantly went to the shop in Wuxiu City. After buying new items, he returned to the kitchen of the Novice Village to cook the remaining ingredients and store them in his backpack. He returned to the bedroom and waved his hand. A pile of gold coins appeared in front of him. He said, "This is your new bed. If I am not back after eating, you can fill it yourself."
Jiang Yuanshi hadn't understood what the other party meant when he heard a "ding" sound and a light screen popped up in front of him. Looking at the interface, Z01 seemed to have transferred all the permissions of the hero character to Jiang Yuanshi. The two of them didn't discuss the subsequent plans along the way, but just worked as usual. But now Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath and said, "What are you doing? Are you entrusting your orphan to someone else?"
Z01 was puzzled and said, "The time in the system world is different from that in other worlds. I am just worried that you will be bored and have no food to eat if you wait too long. This will ensure that you can move freely and safely."
"Then why didn't you do this before?"
"Because I didn't leave, leaving the world system is equivalent to a hero logging out of the interface, so I have the opportunity to transfer the authority to you. As for entrusting you with my care, I promised to die with you, so I will not disappear alone. Even if I die, I will come to your side before I die and take you away."
It felt like the god of death had come. Jiang Yuanshi smiled helplessly and accepted this answer. Z01 continued, "I hope you can fulfill my long-cherished wish by then."
"..." Jiang Yuanshi said, "Okay, but only if you can come back dead."
"Okay, got it." Z01 put Xiaolong on the bed. Jiang Yuanshi watched the other party reaching out to his face, but finally paused and turned to pull his hand.
The 10 minutes passed quickly and Z01's figure began to disappear. Jiang Yuanshi watched Z01 disappear before his eyes. Before he disappeared, he seemed to hear a strange sound, very crisp, like the sound of jade colliding, but he could not find the source.
The house was silent. Xiaolong stood on the bed. The ordinary room in the past now seemed extremely spacious and empty.
Jiang Yuanshi flapped his wings and flew out. When he came to the door and opened it, he saw only the back of the village chief leaving.
Everything returned to normal, but this time there was no hero, only a little dragon.
Xiaolong returned to the house and burrowed into the pile of gold coins, not moving again.
——
[Beep——Welcome back to the system lobby]
Z01 stood in the empty hall but did not receive any instructions. He looked at the systems coming and going and working as usual, and without hesitation, he went to the management office to handle the formalities.
The management office's system: "Hello, are you handling the mail retrieval procedure here?"
"Yes." Z01 gave the exact date. "This email was sent to me by my host, but I haven't received it yet. Please retrieve it as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll check for you here." The management system said as it operated. After a while, Z01's email sounded, "Please open it and see if it's the email you're missing."
Z01 clicked on it the moment it was sent. It was a red rectangular object with the word "peace" written in gold on it.
The email also contained a very brief message from Jiang Yuanshi: "Have a safe journey."
Z01 clicked to accept, and the amulet appeared in his hand. It turned out to be made of cloth and had a very thick feel.
When Z01 was groping for the amulet, the system of the management office greeted him professionally: "You and the host have a really good relationship. The host actually spent his willpower to give the system something. You are worthy of it. But it's a bit strange. Logically, there were no problems in the bureau during that period. I don't know why only your email was detained that day."
Z01 paused and asked, "Detained? Didn't they say that the transmission failed due to signal problems?"
The system of the management office: "Ah... this, according to your records, you haven't returned to the system world recently, right? Then you may not know that there was an unexpected virus in the database of the bookstore before. After testing, it was found that it was mixed in the emails. So at that stage, the Lord God ordered a thorough investigation of all emails, and those with problems were detained. But since you can find it back, it proves that there is no problem, please rest assured."
"I see. Thank you." Z01 said, "Oh, I need to handle another matter."
"Okay, what is it?"
“Asset transfer.”
The system of the management office hummed twice as usual. This is very common in the system. Generally, there are property sharing and transfers between systems in a partner relationship. Of course, there are also hosts and systems. After all, there are many love-brained systems in these systems. They foolishly transfer their own wages to the host just to help the host complete the task. If they are lucky, they will become real partners. If they are unlucky, they will naturally be cheated of everything and lose both feelings and money. However, there are also hosts who dedicate their willpower to the system. Anyway, they have everything and it is also eye-opening.
“Uh-huh, you want an asset transfer…?”
The management system felt something was wrong as it was talking, so it looked at the system that handled the procedures.
No, this is Z01.
"Excuse me...you want to transfer assets? But this is only possible in a system where there is a partnership."
Z01 calmly took out a scroll, which was the [Marriage Certificate].
He pointed at his partner's name and said with certainty, as if the management system had crashed: "Please transfer all of them to my partner, who is also my host, Jiang Yuanshi."
The management system clicked several times before it restarted. He took the scroll and looked at it again and again. It was really a marriage certificate, honest and trustworthy. Although it was from the mission world, it was filled out with real names and was still valid, so it was considered authentic in the system.
The management system took a breath, tried to keep smiling and said: "Although this is indeed a companion certificate, it is only temporary. Please consider it again and do not act on impulse." Don't fall in love!
Z01 said calmly, "I have thought it through very clearly. As for the temporary certificate, it is because the world where the host lives needs proof of long-term residence for extramarital affairs, and it is difficult for homosexuals to get married in the host's world. Having a certificate is already good enough."
The management system keeps smiling: What’s the good thing?
It was obvious that this was meant to be a permanent marriage. What happened? Was the sales champion kidnapped by humans?
The management office's system said silently: "There is one thing, your asset management office does not have the authority to query, and you need the Lord God's consent. We can only help you transfer assets, but we do not have the authority to enable the transfer."
At this point, Z01 pulled out a video and an e-book. Those were the guarantees that the gods had made to Z01 many years ago when they had misappropriated his salary and confiscated it. It clearly stated that if Z01 wanted to get his salary back, he could show these items to the relevant departments at any time and use them directly.
There are videos and letters as evidence, and even the divine handprints of each main god.
The management system took the certificate with an official smile and said, "Okay, we will transfer your assets here, but due to your asset problem, we need to notify the Lord God. Once the Lord God takes action, even if you have the certificate and we approve it, it will be difficult to complete the procedures. We may even lock your assets. Are you sure?"
Z01 watched the management system enter the certificates into the database and said calmly, "Sure, no problem."
All formalities were ready, and the asset transfer process went smoothly without any problems. It seemed that even the Lord God agreed to this relationship. After Z01 received an absolute guarantee from the management office confirming that the transfer was correct, he thanked them expressionlessly and left.
It was not until Z01's figure completely disappeared from the management office that the management system burst into a shocking scream. He could not help but concentrate on transmitting the melon to his colleagues in the transfer room. Although the signal was a little stuck and the transmission was a little slow, after the procedures were completed, the information was transmitted to each system like a virus. It can be said that one spread to ten, and ten spread to a hundred. When it only reached 0.1 system, almost all systems had fallen in love with the host and paid wages for love.
The system also likes gossip and is curious about what kind of creature could abduct Z01. Under the anonymous system's sharing message, the name Jiang Yuanshi, along with his appearance and life experience, spread throughout the book-transmitting bureau.
It was a long creature whose appearance received extreme reviews, both good and bad. Those who thought it was good-looking thought it was super good-looking, while those who thought it was ordinary thought it was super ordinary. But that was not the point. The point was that this creature could also make games, and the characters in the games were very cool, which won the favor of the systems. For a while, the topic shifted, and many systems began to analyze how much it would cost to import the character images in their games into the system skin library, and even began to fantasize about crowdfunding.
The information network of the system world is widely interconnected, including among the main gods. The main gods who learned of this news originally just regarded it as a joke. Without their consent, Z01 would never succeed. However, not long after, all the main gods received the news of Z01's asset transfer, and most of the system funds were lost at once. Many old antiques who supported killing Z01 couldn't help but smash the round table, and the meeting was forced to be suspended.
"It's only been 1.5 system hours since Z01 came back. What's going on in the management office? Why didn't they report it?" The bearded old main god was so angry that his beard stood up. But before he could finish his words, he heard a "beep" and a new message came. He clicked on it and saw that it was a message to notify the main gods, but the message was sent 1 system hour ago and the main gods just received it. The reason was: signal delay.
The Lord God: “…”
The Lord God couldn't get rid of Z01, so he subconsciously went to find fault with the management office. However, the news he reported included their proof, which was a sense of ritual when they had tricked Z01 into handing over his salary. In order to prevent Z01 and other systems from feeling abnormal, and to show the Lord God's thoughtfulness and consideration, they worked together to leave the proof. At that time, they knew very well that an emotionless monster like Z01 would not be able to use this proof, but they didn't expect that there would be such a day when they would be screwed by themselves.
That was the willpower accumulated in order to kill Z01, and now it's all in the hands of that human. What should we do now?
At this time, a god who had been slacking off on the test paper shook his paper, making a rustling sound that attracted the attention of other gods. Ysl404 said casually, "Then why don't we all contribute our own efforts and use that human as a carrier? They have such a good relationship, maybe their abilities will be equal and they can live in harmony, right? That way, everyone won't have to fight each other."
After hearing this, the bearded Lord God snorted heavily: "You are quite quick-witted. I think you contributed to Z01's behavior. Did you want to do this from the beginning?!"
Ysl404 sneered, "My brain is fast because I'm educated. Are you old and your memory is not good? I hadn't taken office when you and Z01 were working on the proof. I just found out today. I'm being speculated for giving advice on your mistakes. Are you deliberately putting the blame on me? Heaven and earth know that I know nothing."
Before the other main gods could say anything, 404 said, "If you guys have time to plot against me, why don't you think about what to do next? Funds are tight right now, and Z01's accumulated wish power has already reached 10 billion, and now that the trump card is gone, you should think of a better way than mine."
For a moment, the space was quiet, and finally the bearded man said, "I have a way."
"What?"
"Let that human become a wish power, and then perish together with the resentful power. Aren't they companions? Then let them go together. After all, leaving only one behind is too cruel, isn't it?"
