Hold on, the system and I have never been angry

"I heard that you have thought of a way to solve the current situation. Tell me about it."

"This has to start with my original setting--" Wu Xiaolin hugged System No. 1's legs and talked about a lot of things like pouring beans, including which characters and races were designed, the secrets of Emperor Tumenqian, the grievances between the Blue Star Empire and Earl, etc., telling everything she knew.

These were all things Nox knew the first time she took the task. She frowned when she heard it, and Nox bent down. Nox stepped on the palm of the system with one foot and on Wu Xiaolin's head with the other foot, looking down at her from above: "You called me here just to say these nonsense that I already knew?"

Wu Xiaolin shook her head fiercely: "No! I have thought of how to change it! How do you think about this? You don't like my protagonist, so I can write Tumen Zhen and Shi Feng to death, and then write about scientists inventing a time machine, going back in time to before the incident happened, and then erasing Earl's existence. In this way, everyone can be resurrected and everyone will be happy!"

Nox listened patiently, as if he had heard a bunch of nonsense. He was both angry and amused. "I am also out of my mind. I actually listened to you wasting time here. You stay here. When I feel better, I will let you go. The premise is that you can live to that time."

Wu Xiaolin grabbed the system's trouser legs tightly and refused to let go no matter what: "Sir! Please! I really don't want to stay in this damn place anymore! Please! Since I'm of no use to you, please let me go back, so I won't be an eyesore here!"

"If you know how to be afraid, why did you create this hellhole?" Nox sneered, "How can you be useless? Seeing you afraid makes me happy. Being able to make me laugh is your greatest use. Xiaoyi, let's go."

"Yes, Master." System No. 1 took Nox through the portal and disappeared on the spot.

Only Wu Xiaolin was left wailing in pain.

After she finished her heart-wrenching cry, she looked at the silent System No. 8, her eyes full of despair: "Why are you doing this to me? Just because I wrote an unpopular novel?! But I haven't finished it yet! I can still change it! Whatever ending you want, I can change it! Or if you want that root permission, I can give it to you! I beg you, please let me go back to the real world, okay?"

System No. 8 shook his head slowly: "Too late."

Wu Xiaolin was stunned, tears falling from her eyes. She asked blankly, "What?"

What is too late? She hasn't finished yet, has she? How can it be too late?

System No. 8: "Originally, the master ordered me to find you, just to ask you to help modify the plot, or give us root permissions so that we can modify it ourselves. But you refused again and again, resulting in a waste of too much time. Now the world line has long passed the plot you set, and it is out of your control without your knowledge. That's why the master brought you into the small world to let you see with your own eyes the evil you have done."

"What?" Wu Xiaolin took a moment to react. "You mean, your master is just angry at me because things are out of control?! I am the original author. Which author would accept someone who comes to him out of nowhere to take away his copyright authorization?! What's wrong with me rejecting you?! How do I know that the novel I wrote will become the real world! How do I know that the paper man has life? Ignorance is not a crime. You can't blame me for everything!"

"Don't make yourself sound so innocent." Nox's voice came from the air: "If you hadn't given authorization in advance, things wouldn't have gotten to the point where they couldn't be resolved. Besides, there's a saying among you humans, 'being loved will make you grow flesh and blood like crazy.' If you really love the paper figures you draw, how could you not know that they have lives? When you treat human lives as worthless, how can you know that one day you won't be hit in the forehead by the boomerang that day?"

Wu Xiaolin collapsed and yelled, "Impossible! No one else has ever asked me for authorization except you! You can't blame me for your own incompetence!"

Nox sneered and cut off the communication.

System No. 8 popped up a screen in front of Wu Xiaolin, on which was a screenshot of her quarrel with a reader. She had once replied to that reader: [You sound so arrogant, you must be a big shot, right? Here’s the pen, if you have the guts, write it.]

Wu Xiaolin was stunned: "Is this considered authorization???"

"Unfortunately, I have to inform you that in front of the system owner, such words are considered as consent and authorization. You should be careful in what you say and do." System No. 8 smiled: "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that your beloved protagonist Tumenzhen has died a long time ago."

When Lu Jinzhao woke up again, it was already noon of the next day.

Qiansui was sleeping soundly beside his head, with her cat paws hooked around her neck, her paw pads soft and still stepping on her breast unconsciously. The system didn't need to sleep, and it used to accompany him to the system space to play, so it was rare for it to be asleep at this time.

He quickly sat up, put his hands under his front paws to lift Chitose up, and shook it from side to side, turning it over and over to check, trying to make sure it was safe.

Qiansui was awakened by the back and forth turning. He stretched his body and became a long cat in Lu Jinzhao's hands, which made people laugh.

It yawned, and when it saw that its host was awake, it rushed over to hug Lu Jinzhao's face and rubbed it hard: "Woo woo woo, you're finally awake!"

Lu Jinchao pinched the clever hair on its ears and smiled lightly: "Yeah, it's awake."

"How do you feel? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Lu Jinchao stood up and checked himself up and down. His body had been repaired and most of its functions had been restored. Unfortunately, the number of nano-repair robots had been exhausted and his skin could not be restored. Fortunately, he covered it with clothes and it was not a problem.

"No, everything is fine. What about you? Are the fragments useful?"

"I get angry when I think of this! I thought that system was an advanced system that could allow me to upgrade all at once!" Qiansui waved his front paws excitedly: "It turns out that it's not the real body at all! It's just a clone! What we got was just a part of the clone. I swallowed it all but couldn't upgrade successfully..."

"It's okay, we'll look for other ones."

Qiansui chuckled and rubbed him affectionately: "But it's not all bad news. Some of my functions have been restored! Including the system mall that you need most right now!"

"Okay." Lu Jinzhao stretched his body, sat down cross-legged, clicked on the props area in the system mall and began to browse through it carefully.

Although Qiansui's current rating is intermediate, there are only primary and intermediate props in the mall, and there are many gray areas in the intermediate props area that have not been unlocked. It seems that only the parts allowed under the current world view can be unlocked. Talismans and magical tools in the world of cultivation cannot be used.

Most of the usable props seemed useless in the current situation. But he still decided to exchange a few, just in case.

The other party can disable his system functions once, but there is no guarantee that he will not do it a second or third time.

Previously, he relied on his system and did not take the end of the world seriously. This time, when he almost died, he woke up and realized that he was indeed arrogant.

People often meet with catastrophic disasters because they think too highly of themselves.

There won’t be a next time until he becomes an immortal who can destroy the world with a snap of his fingers.

Qiansui saw him moving his fingers constantly, searching up and down, and it seemed that he had a target prop, so he couldn't help but ask: "What are you looking for? Tell me, maybe I can play it for you directly?"

Lu Jinchao raised his hand and tapped his forehead, as if he had finally made up his mind: "I was thinking, the mission is called Ocean Overlord, but it doesn't mean that the Overlord will definitely be born from a giant whale. Their behavior when they collided with each other didn't seem to be voluntary. Since mermaids can control sea monsters, maybe the giant whales are also under their control."

Qiansui was visibly stunned: "You mean, maybe mermaids are the real overlords of the ocean?"

"It is possible. Take the 20 billion as an example. Mermen are highly intelligent, almost the same as humans, and may even be much smarter than humans. In addition, they can freely change the shape of their tails, have extremely strong attack power, can use tools, and are social creatures. It is difficult for other creatures in the sea to compete with them head-on."

Lu Jinzhao clicked on the shopping mall and unexpectedly bought himself a pair of earrings first. One cross earring was about five centimeters long and two centimeters wide, and the other was a plain hoop earring, both made of high-grade alloy that was resistant to high temperatures, extreme cold, and corrosion. He inserted the earrings directly into his originally intact and smooth earlobes, without worrying about inflammation or other problems. "After all, they can capture 20 billion, so it's not difficult to capture other mermaids. Maybe they have done some experiments on them and can manipulate the mermaids for their own use."

Qiansui raised his paw and patted the cross on the host's right ear. The cross swayed, and it looked great with the host's cold gray-blue wolf-tail short hair. It touched it with satisfaction and said, "Because of the regulations, male actors cannot pierce their ears, so you have always regretted it. Now you finally remembered to pierce two ears. But you know what, it looks really good. If it matches your face, it will definitely look better!"

"Yeah. I didn't get what I wanted in the last world. It's not appropriate to wear these when I go to cultivate in the next world. I'll just have to satisfy my craving for now."

He randomly picked a few items that he thought could be used and put them into the backpack grid, added some thermal weapons that consumed a lot of points and had terrifying effects into the weapon system, changed into clean clothes suitable for fighting, and finally bought new combat boots and manually added the flight module. He was done. Lu Jinzhao rubbed Qiansui and stood up: "Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

"Look around, maybe you'll find something."

As if sensing something, a shark poked its head out from the sea not far away and waved its body towards them, as if beckoning them to come over.

"Why are you still here?" Qiansui looked at the shark, then at his host: "How did you subdue it???"

"Really not." Lu Jinchao didn't know the reason, but being able to ride a shark seemed better than walking in the air by himself. Sharks can keenly sense the dangers on the seabed and can dive into the sea to hide when encountering a system holder, while staying in the air would expose their targets and give opponents an opportunity to take advantage.

He went to the mall and bought a translator that could communicate with animals. He put it on his neck, sat on the shark's back, and left the deserted island. The man, the cat, and the fish wandered aimlessly to other areas. The shark seemed to have no idea where he was going, so it swam around first.

Lu Jinzhao told the shark to take him to a place where there were people, but he did not specify the specific direction and location. After all, he was a bit directionally challenged and did not know where to trigger the event. He could only try his luck.

The Thousand Years Old Kitten is confused.JPG: "With your luck, are you sure?"

Lu Jinzhao: "...People can't always be unlucky, right?"

Should, can't?

"How about giving you a name?" Chitose patted the shark's back. "You are a shark, so how about calling me Sasha?"

The shark flicks its tail in silent protest: I am a male!

Lu Jinzhao nodded: "This is a good name, let's call her Shasha."

Shark: ...Forget it, I'll bear it.

"Oh, right, I have to buy two pieces of bionic human skin to repair the wound on your waist." Qiansui leaned on his host's shoulder and began to carefully select in the system mall: "Such a beautiful leather suit cannot have any flaws."

After swimming for a while, they saw a miniature island ahead, and it seemed that there were people moving around. Qiansui was the first to disappear and float under the sea to take a look. After coming up, he spread his claws helplessly: "There is a giant whale underneath, it should be in hibernation."

It seems that there will be more giant whale collisions, and the people on top are not safe.

Lu Jinzhao was wondering whether to go ashore, but the people on the island had already spotted him and were waving at him frantically.

Qiansui took a closer look and found that it was the same people from before. "Oh, I didn't expect they were not dead. I clearly saw them fall into the sea with my own eyes. That Guan Qiqi or something, didn't she know how to swim? How come she is fine? And they are clearly in a triangle relationship, yet they can still sit together peacefully. I don't understand you humans."

These words successfully aroused Lu Jinchao's interest. He patted Shasha lightly, indicating that she should put him down in the shallows, and then walked up himself.

Seeing these faces again, I actually felt a little relieved for a moment.

Wei Fan held a simple long-pole homemade weapon in his hand and pointed it at Shasha and Lu Jinzhao. God knows this man was on a raft the last time they met, but now he even rode on a shark. What if he told the shark to eat them? "Don't come over here!"

Sasha did a tailspin, trying to splash water on his face, but Wei Fan was far away and Sasha didn't dare to splash Lu Jinchao, so she didn't really attack him.

It shook its tail unhappily and sank beneath the sea.

Lu Jinzhao didn't intend to exchange pleasantries with them, and walked to the other side of the beach and sat down. He pulled out a picnic blanket, a barbecue grill, a parasol, a beach chair, and other items like a magic trick. He didn't look like a refugee, but rather a vacationer.

Wei Fan sat back down in dismay. They had come here for a real vacation, but they were unlucky and ran into this disaster.

While watching Qiansui's short video about the grievances and entanglements between these people, Lu Jinzhao slowly seasoned, marinated the meat, and skewered it. The aroma of barbecue soon wafted to the noses of the hungry people, and at once their stomachs began to growl one after another.

Pan Qing swallowed her saliva, stood up first, holding her stomach and walked over: "Please, can you give me something to eat?"
