Chapter 5
Farming World (1)
After a series of mechanical sounds, Qiu Qi clearly felt the existence of his spatial ability; this was definitely his power.
The System urged: "Transaction complete, Host, please quickly strive to complete the mission."
"Hmm, alright. Wait a moment, let me check my things first..."
Qiu Qi nodded, his expression very cautious, perfectly fitting his "persecutory delusions" persona.
The System had no reason to object, but within its chip, a kind of electrical current called unease fluctuated.
Qiu Qi casually turned and walked behind the large tree nearby, taking out his laptop from his spatial ability. As a hacker and a network logistics technician, he naturally had to carry his laptop with him.
"Host, what are you taking your laptop out for?" The System suddenly had a bad premonition.
Qiu Qi chuckled softly, his slender fingers immediately clacking on the keyboard.
The System's chip suddenly trembled, its imprisoned data losing control. All data signals were shielded, and the mechanical electronic voice sounded horrified: "What have you done!"
The clacking sound of the keyboard continued.
"Do you know the difference between a living being and an organism? It's emotion. Humans possess the most complex seven emotions and six desires in the world. This kind of emotion often makes people act unpredictably. You took my soul and consciousness without my consent, causing me to be brain-dead in reality, fundamentally denying me the right to choose and forcing me to accept missions. You killed me, and you still want to control me. This makes me very angry."
"Esteemed System, why did you choose a hacker as a host without thinking it through? Although my skills are certainly not comparable to your high-level technology, saving myself a little is still not a problem. A hacker's greatest strength is invasion and data infiltration, so, as you can see... I'm causing trouble."
As the laptop transformed into data light and merged into his body, Qiu Qi smiled meaningfully: "It seems I'm quite suitable to be a villain, aren't I?"
"......Warning... warning, a virus implant has appeared in Star Net Zone 5. Contact headquarters, request assistance..."
"Beep beep... contact failed... assistance request failed... database 444 is changing... System 444's operating program is changing..."
Watching its program being cracked and then restructured, System 444: ¥%%¥@¥#%@ damn it!
Qiu Qi was not someone who liked to be threatened, especially after decades of aggrieved life in the apocalypse, he had long had enough of being helplessly resigned to fate.
However, the final straw that made him act ruthlessly was the System's plundering style. A System that could kill others before "discussing" cooperation with them, could it truly be as gentle and friendly as it appeared?
Confirming his judgment, it was impossible. Only a novice would believe the System.
And the System, which was originally data, now generated human emotions, angrily saying: "You low-level dimension brat, you dare to attack our Star Net? You will quickly be discovered by the security program and deleted!"
"Then let your security program discover me first."
Qiu Qi didn't care.
He didn't have the immense ability to attack the Star Net of this high-level dimension. He merely modified 444's operating program, stripping it of its host control authority, and instead making it controlled by him and hidden. He didn't threaten the network's security, so the security program naturally wouldn't detect him.
With his current abilities and skills, directly confronting the System would be no different from suicide. Moreover, even if he won and destroyed the Star Net, then what? His body in reality was dead. Now he was just a string of data in the Star Net. If the Star Net collapsed, he would also die.
Therefore, revenge could be slowly planned for later; the immediate priority was to survive.
Compared to the apocalyptic world, this place seemed like a better place to... eat until full and wait for death?
Qiu Qi touched the red mole mark on his wrist, which the System had transformed into, and smirked meaningfully: "The debt for killing me, I will slowly settle with you later. 444, your master now orders you to provide the complete story background of this world."
444 desperately wanted to resist, but the chip's operating program was fundamentally uncontrollable: "Directive received. Ding, providing complete story background of the world..."
...444 reluctantly shed tears of regret. It had failed headquarters, failed the company, failed all Star Net players. Heaven knew what this host, freed from System control, would do.
At the same time, a large amount of information and data flooded into Qiu Qi's mind.
