Reborn As a System
Chapter 94
Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xin Er's message. He immediately asked, "Where are you?"
Xin Er's reply was always lightning fast. "My body has been destroyed. I'm now in a spirit state, sealed in Li Mi's body. Li Mi is the person who pretended to be your host."
"Who is the other person?
The one who pretended to be me. "
"His name is Suo Ya. He accepted a mission from this world and chose to transmigrate into your clone's body. That's why he has been maintaining your appearance."
Shi Qing frowned slightly. He finally had an answer to one of his doubts. It seemed like they had been targeted from the moment they transmigrated.
"What's the relationship between Li Mi and Suo Ya?
Are they each other's system and host? "
When he asked this question, it was clear from Xin Er's reply that he was screaming, "How is that possible?
How can they be systems?!
They are poachers!
They are fanatics!
They hunt systems for a living! "
"Why?
How can they transmigrate between worlds without a system? "
Xin Er paused. After a while, he replied, "They have their own system.
But it has already been swallowed. "
"What?"
After pausing for a moment, Xin 'er quickly replied, "They are the elites of their respective worlds. They are the chosen life forms. In the beginning, they all had their own systems, but later … later … later on, they devoured their own systems."
Shi Qing's pupils constricted. He instantly understood. Was the so-called poachers referring to the poaching system?
"They won't be punished after swallowing a system?"
"It can't be helped. At first, it was an accident. Not all systems can get along with the host. There were disputes and conflicts. The host had enough of the system's control. Or perhaps the system was too stupid and the host with ulterior motives saw a flaw. In short … the cause is unknown.
However, one thing is for sure. Because they devoured the system, they obtained the power of the system. They are both the host and the system. Without any restrictions or restraints, the greater their power, the greater their ambition. They started to hunt more systems. "
Shi Qing frowned. "They already gained the power of the system. Why do they still need to swallow other systems?"
Shi Qing was puzzled by this question, because in his impression, the system was a gatekeeper. All the good things were in the system store, and he had to work hard to earn some coins to buy them. If he devoured a system, it meant that he could give himself quests and see all the goods in the store. Why would he need to devour other systems?
What he thought was right, but when Xin Er saw this question, she felt that it sounded so silly and sweet.
However, considering that he needed Shi Qing to save his life, he held it in and replied, "Of course it's to obtain different abilities!"
This sentence made Shi Qing's head ring.
He changed the question without batting an eyelid, "What's your ability?"
After a while, Xin Er replied, "Sigh, there's nothing to hide. My aptitude is pretty good. I can help strengthen the host's physique."
Strengthening the physique?!
Wasn't this something that could be done with money in the system store?
Seeing that he didn't respond, Xin Er added, "If it wasn't for the fact that I can strengthen the host's constitution, I wouldn't have been so unlucky as to be hunted!"
Shi Qing probed, "Hmm, do you know any other systems?
What abilities do they have? "
Xin Er really didn't know why Shi Qing was asking these general questions, but since he was asking for help, he had to be nicer. Thus, he said, "There are too many. Some can provide technological products, some can provide miraculous medicine, and some can provide high-grade bloodline bodies and so on …"
He gave many examples, which completely overturned Shi Qing's worldview.
These … these things, weren't they things that every system had?
Then, Xin Er asked, "What's your ability?
I saw that Li Mi and Suo Ya valued you very much. They collected information early on and spent a lot of money to transmigrate here just to hunt you down. "
Shi Qing, … What should he say … His style seemed to be different from other systems!
Also, wasn't it a good thing?
Why did it feel like it wasn't a good thing?!
Shi Qing didn't reply, so Xin Er didn't ask anymore. Instead, he said worriedly, "How is your host?
Is her level high?
Is her ability strong?
Can she beat Li Mi and Suo Ya alone?
They've already swallowed four or five systems. They're very strong! "
"Can't you see the battle situation?"
Xin Er, "Dear, I can't see anything. The only thing I can do is to communicate with you."
Shi Qing, "…"
Shi Qing retracted his consciousness and opened his small eyes to look outside. Then … he shrank back. Light a candle for Li Mi and Suo Ya. It's your bad luck to have met my host.
Li Mi and Suo Ya were already covered in bruises. It was only a matter of time before they fell to the ground.
The scene wasn't beautiful. Shi Qing didn't look at it anymore. He had to hurry and ask a few more questions before Xin Er was rescued.
"They've swallowed so many systems. Why are you the only one who's conscious?"
Xin Er was now telling him everything he knew. "I'm at level 70. My talent isn't low. Cough cough … My ability is very good. Also, these two poachers aren't as united as they seem. One system can't be swallowed by two hosts. They haven't decided who to swallow, so I have a chance to breathe."
"But it'll be soon. If you're hunted, they can each have one. They can live in harmony and slowly enjoy it." At the end, he added a lasagna.
Shi Qing's mouth twitched. He cursed in his heart. I won't be hunted. Don't curse others just because you're caught!
As though he knew he said something wrong, Xin Er hurriedly corrected himself. "Well, you're definitely much stronger than me. You definitely won't be fooled. You'll definitely save me!" He followed it with a starry-eyed emoji.
Shi Qing expressed deep disdain for his skillful use of the system messages as if they were QQ.
But there wasn't much time. He still had questions to ask.
"What's the source world you mentioned before?
How do we get there? "
"Oh, what's your level?
You haven't reached level 50 yet? "
Shi Qing looked at his and his host's levels. Two obvious level 20 players weren't enough. Even the idiot opposite him was level 70. If he said he was only level 20, he would be looked down upon. So he said decisively, "Don't talk nonsense. Do you want to be saved or not?"
Xin Er immediately lowered himself. "Don't … don't be angry. I'll tell you. I'll tell you."
"The source world is above all other small worlds. There's no way to find out how it was formed. But one thing is certain. Those who can go to the source world are selected lives. When they reach level 50, they will receive a system mission. If they successfully complete the system mission, they will be sent to the source world."
Shi Qing's ears trembled slightly. System mission?
He and his host had received a system mission, but they hadn't reached level 50 yet.
Then Xin Er said, "I heard that there are also systems and hosts with extremely good luck who may receive a system mission before they reach level 50. But even if they do, there's nothing they can do. The system mission is extremely difficult. If they don't have the ability to challenge it, it's tantamount to sending them to their deaths."
Shi Qing: … Okay, so he and his host's luck is extremely good … Damn it!
Extremely good my ass. If his host hadn't been so good, she would have been killed by those two poachers outside!
Since he knew how to go to the source world, Shi Qing didn't waste any more time. He asked, "What about spiritual senses?
You said before that you and I are both spiritual senses? "
Xin Er's reply was slightly slower this time. Shi Qing was quite nervous. For the first time, he hoped that his host would slow down outside and not deal with those two scourges so quickly.
After a while, Xin Er finally replied, "There are thousands of systems, but not all of them are spiritual senses. I can't explain this problem clearly, but some systems don't have a mind of their own. They just issue missions and provide certain abilities. Some systems have self-awareness, just like you and me. Hmm … You were an independent life form before you became a system, right?
I was like that too. I died in my own world. When I came back to life, I became a system.
People like us are spiritual sense users. "
Shi Qing was slightly stunned. Was that so?
He asked again, "Then what's the difference between spiritual senses and other systems?"
"They can grow."
Shi Qing understood.
After a while, Xin Er sent another message, "… Most poachers' personal systems are spiritual senses."
It was just a short sentence, but Shi Qing understood what he meant.
There were many benefits to having spiritual senses, but there were also unavoidable flaws.
The spiritual senses could grow and provide more power to the host. But at the same time, the spiritual senses had their own consciousness and were independent individuals. It was easier for them to have conflicts with the host. After the conflict intensified, a fight was inevitable. As long as one person crossed the line, the rest would follow one after another.
Shi Qing thought for a moment and asked one last question, "Xin Er, where's your host?"
Xin Er was a system. He must have his own host. Since he was caught, where was his host?
Was he killed by Li Mi and Suo Ya?
He thought that Xin Er wouldn't answer, but Xin Er sent him a message, "He's not dead. He's still alive."
Shi Qing's heart skipped a beat.
Xin Er continued, "Li Mi and Suo Ya chased us through five worlds. In the last world, my host and I fell into a trap and were completely defeated.
But in the end, I took the initiative to break the contract with him. He stayed in that world, and I was taken away by Li Mi. "
After a pause, Shi Qing received a sentence that touched his heart, "So, I want to live."
Only if he survived would he be able to find his host.
Shi Qing was stunned. Then he sent Xin Er a message, "Don't worry. You'll live." In the end, he sent a smiling emoji.
