Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1801: Chapter 1804: Following the Trail

”Blow this place up.”

Lu Xiaobu said nonchalantly.

In an instant.

The system was in awe: ”666! The host is still the host! I’m still not there yet!”

See, this is where the gap lies.

Even though it has been learning all the time and has learned a lot of things.

However, when it comes to decisiveness and ruthlessness, it’s still lacking.

Look now, if you don’t say, fine, then there’s no need to say it!

”Wait, I’ll say it!”

The system’s core conceded outright!

The three were almost one, so if someone else came here, they might hesitate whether the other party dared or not.

They might even threaten back saying if he blows it up, there would be consequences bla bla bla!

But he knew very well, that’s all nonsense!

This host definitely dares!

So, conceding was the only choice!

”If you had said it earlier, we wouldn’t have to go through this.” The system rolled its eyes.

”Everyone’s like you. Clearly a system, but became the host’s lackey?”

The system’s core rolled its eyes and said, ”I’m just unlucky to have run into someone like you!”

”Quit the nonsense! Spill what you know!” The system also rolled its eyes: ”It’s better than you becoming a prisoner!”

”Actually, I don’t know much, but I’ve analyzed some things, so I didn’t want to say anything.” The system’s core shrugged.

”Oh, you can analyze now?!” The system clicked its tongue!

”Who are you looking down on? Don’t forget who our host is, you’re allowed to learn, and I’m not?” The system’s core flattered!

The system immediately felt a sense of crisis: ”If you have something to say, say it, less flattery!”

This thing is too cunning, can’t let it replace my position.

”It’s not just flattery. Mainly if I don’t learn a bit, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have survived till today.” The system’s core sighed: ”Too frustrating!”

”Yeah, too frustrating!”

System felt the same.

”Cough, cough!”

Lu Xiaobu coughed lightly.

Are you two looking to get laid off? I’m still here!

”Let’s talk serious stuff, serious stuff!” The system quickly said.

”Mmm, mmm, talk serious stuff!” The system’s core also nodded.

”I can’t remember when I gained spiritual wisdom, but I have a repository of knowledge here, describing some knowledge of what I should do and how to do it.” The system’s core began earnestly.

”Repository of knowledge?” The system raised an eyebrow: ”What did it say?”

”Useless stuff.” The system’s core shook its head and sighed.

”What do you mean useless? Speak!” The system immediately shouted.

”When I say useless, I mean useless; it says the system should always control the host’s behavior patterns, even using special tasks to force the host to develop a must-complete-task attitude!” The core sneered repeatedly: ”Come on, tell me, how! to! use it!”

Hearing the word-by-word ’how to use it’, the system twitched and glanced at Lu Xiaobu.

Alright, it’s useless!

The system’s core didn’t overly challenge the system, but continued: ”The only intel I got is because this repository is tied to the level, and our level...”

At this point, the system’s core spread its hands: ”Sigh!”

”Sigh!” The system also sighed.

This level is an eternal wound!

Level Two!

”However, even with only this info, I still deduced from clues that there’s definitely someone behind us!”

The core became serious again: ”Because the tone of that knowledge repository wasn’t explanatory at all; it was command-like.”

”You’d know my predecessor was a World Tree Seed, so naturally, such a commanding tone shouldn’t exist, it’s definitely added later.”

”Try to imagine, if our host wasn’t like this, after I awakened consciousness, wouldn’t I instinctively follow the repository’s instructions?”

”I think, yes I would, and as tasks proceeded, the host’s level increased, the repository would gradually unlock, forming a cycle, a fixed pattern!”

”So what’s the purpose of all this?!”

The core shrugged: ”I placed myself in that position, finally deduced one conclusion—harvest!”

”Through the above summary, I confirmed there’s definitely someone behind this!”

”This is why I was tight-lipped, afraid of possible countermeasures, that if I spoke, things would blow up!”

”However, looking at it now, there’s been no explosion yet, probably because the level is too low, not involving anything too confidential.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded upon hearing this: ”Then what’s the deal with that ’elder’ that always follows me?”

The system’s explanation makes sense, but what about the ’elder’?

”Actually, how to put it, it’s not arranged by anyone. Although I previously had no spiritual wisdom, I still knew the World Tree Seed’s instincts!”

”Once we’re planted on the core, we’ll open channels according to the planter’s thoughts and keep absorbing all core energy.”

”So as we grow to a certain extent, we become something akin to a small core, otherwise why can you use me to increase others’ attributes?”

”Not just anything can do this, it’s truly against the natural order! Only small-core-titled beings like us can!”

At this point, the system’s core was quite proud.

Though it indeed was something to be proud of.

”At the same time, the presence attached to us, used to locate and open channels, similar to the system, will also be nurtured to develop or regain spiritual wisdom.”

Lu Xiaobu nodded.

This was understandable, similar to how his Golden Core, originally a part of his body, was now at the out-of-body Nascent Soul stage.

Staying within the World Tree Seed would certainly have similar or even better effects.

Of course, while he nodded, the system nearly swore—what did he mean by ’something similar’? I’m trash?!

”Continue,” Lu Xiaobu told the system to calm down.

”They have spiritual wisdom now, but fundamentally are still just a spiritual body. So what is their instinct?” The system’s core asked in return.

”Body Seizing?!” Lu Xiaobu narrowed his eyes.

”Not exactly body seizing, but the desire of a spiritual body for a physical one is innate, so without any arrangement, they would naturally seek a body they fancy.” The core nodded: ”So, who is chosen as the host isn’t decided by us, but by them.”

”Makes sense!” Lu Xiaobu nodded.

But then, his eyes narrowed again: ”Then what happens after? Would you devour this spiritual body?!”

The system’s core remained silent.

The system got agitated—Damn it, it’s proven right to catch him, after all!
