2: This system is a bit crap.

Chen Hao looked at the catalog. Yes, this was just the catalog.

A catalog! A million pages, a million!

He casually clicked on a link for a spaceport, and then countless new light screens appeared, densely surrounding his desk.

However, what Chen Hao didn't notice was that the formulas on these light screens contained very few letters; they looked more like hieroglyphs.

"Modular building frame technology, stellar-class energy core, carbon crystal fiber, artificial gravity field, super-quantum computing core, closed biosphere......."

"Are these technologies real or fake? And how am I supposed to use them? Can you explain it?"

Chen Hao rubbed his hands, feeling inexplicably excited.

What?

You ask why he was shocked a moment ago but is suddenly excited now?

Heh, as a player of a certain game, a flexible moral bottom line is basic operation.

I didn't lose, so how can you call me a war criminal? At most, I'm a little unethical.

"Yes, it's possible, but the explanation might not be clear enough.

How about giving the host an example to demonstrate it directly?"

Chen Hao bumped the keyboard when he fainted, and the video on the screen happened to stop at the scene of the 'Fifty Credit Point Brothers' firing their guns.

"For example, this battlesuit.

I'll demonstrate its use for the host."

"Alright."

Chen Hao readily agreed, and after a moment's thought, he had a rough guess about the system's functions.

After all, he was an old bookworm before transmigration, so it was normal to be able to guess.

The library before him suddenly twisted and deformed, the bookshelves falling like dominoes.

When the space stabilized again, he found himself standing in a holographic military base, with Marines in CMC power armor conducting firing drills nearby.

"Warning! Fusion strike inbound!" a mechanical female voice suddenly blared.

Chen Hao, startled, clutched his head and crouched down, only to find that nothing happened.

"Don't be nervous~" Xiao Jixiang suddenly materialized into a palm-sized 'Little Grass God - Badminton' form, sitting on his shoulder, "This is a simulated scenario constructed from your memories.

Now let's dismantle this tin can."

She snapped her fingers, and the Marine was suddenly disassembled into countless glowing components.

A 100-inch light screen appeared before Chen Hao:

"The main technologies capable of realizing the theoretical function of this creation have been queried.

Existing scientific data from human civilization has been excluded, the architecture has been optimized, technology adaptation is complete, and analysis is finished."

"See those red markings?" Xiao Jixiang said, pointing to the 'Requires unlocking' text on the screen, "These are parts that current Earth technology cannot fully achieve or where the theory is incomplete, requiring the World Tree Database to localize them......."

After listening to Xiao Jixiang's report and looking at the lines of data on the light screen, Chen Hao was dumbfounded.

"No, it's real? Even things from games work? And it only takes 1 year?

I won't even mention the other things, but just controllable nuclear fusion has been a headache for the scientific community for several fifty-year periods!

Here, it looks like it's being given away with a phone top-up!"

Xiao Jixiang, hearing Chen Hao's question, suddenly felt a little proud.

"Hmph~ Host, who are you looking down on?

How difficult can such simple things be, not even reaching the level of a Level 1 civilization?

If it weren't for your poor physical fitness and too little basic information in your brain, why would it take so long to transmit?"

Because the contrast between the words 'simple' and the long list of black technologies in the analysis list was too stark, Chen Hao subconsciously ignored the latter half of Xiao Jixiang's sentence.

Although the Marine was jokingly called the 'Fifty Credit Point Brothers,' if placed in reality, one person could absolutely suppress the firepower of an entire company.

Look at the data given by this system: the battlesuit has a maximum strength of 15 tons, a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour, a full energy endurance of 15 days, a closed life support system....... Plus a 20mm caliber electromagnetic rifle that fires bullets at 10 times the speed of sound in a vacuum, even an infantry fighting vehicle probably couldn't withstand many hits.

Even if it could, it would just be a matter of a few more shots.

But if I remember correctly, the 'Fifty Credit Point Brothers' had muzzle flash when they fired, so it shouldn't be an electromagnetic rifle, right?

Did the official lore change? Hmm... Blizzard, die well.

As for the latter part of the complaint, Chen Hao didn't care at all.

Although he was indeed a big problem physically, barely passing a one-kilometer run, it wasn't a loss, after all, it was exchanged for brains.

When one door opens, a window must close, right?

Just tearing off the roof is a bit impolite.

It was probably his personality; he had always preferred mental work since childhood, avoiding physical activity whenever possible.

How does that saying go? Laziness is the driving force of technological progress.

If all else fails, there's always genetic modification.

If given the chance, he could try to use this database to create that thing.

However, technologies like genetic modification must be approached cautiously, as dual cultivation of life and spirit is the right path.

If the level of thought and social structure haven't met the requirements, genetic modification would be a man-made disaster of catastrophic proportions.

"Hmm, let's sort out the current situation."

"The capabilities of this system are basically similar to the 'Void Pantheon,' able to materialize certain objects or concepts that I understand or define.

That large, planet-like library should just be an appearance.

According to the system's introduction, understanding the entire universe is still too distant for me; at the very least, it should contain all the technologies of one or more civilizations capable of interstellar travel."

"However, judging from the catalog, it seems to be all about technology; I haven't seen any humanities-related items.

But if there aren't any, then so be it.

Anyway, I don't need that stuff; my own history books are thick enough."

Calming down, Chen Hao began to think seriously.

He hadn't expected that after 18 years of 'lying low,' the bug for Earth Online had actually arrived, so he definitely had to plan carefully.

"I never thought that things from novels would actually happen; I thought those authors were lying to me.

This is truly 'too cool'!

I must come up with a foolproof plan, otherwise, wouldn't I be wasting such an awesome cheat?"

"However, I must first consider how to protect myself.

According to common novel tropes, once exposed, I will definitely be targeted by those foreign entities.

Especially that eagle, which is either black or white, because it's better to guard against villains than gentlemen."

"A gentleman can be deceived with propriety, but a villain specializes in breaking the bottom line.

But I can't keep hiding forever; many things can only be maximized in efficiency with national-level power.

But in that case, many things can't be done......."

"So complicated, I won't think about it anymore.

I'd better think carefully about what to create first."

But what Chen Hao didn't know was that Xiao Jixiang had taken a big breath and hadn't finished speaking.

The World Tree Database was indeed free, but analyzing and matching technology 'could' be not free.

Not matching was also an option, but then he would have to research whatever technology he needed himself, and even a slight deviation wouldn't work.

What?

You say the 'World Tree Core Database' is collective property?

It's just something made on a whim, like hitting two poles to see if there's a date.

If it works, that's enough; why ask for a bicycle?

Otherwise, could it be kept in a drawer?

Besides, as the daughter of the CEO of Boundless Company, it's impossible for her to have no privileges.

What?

You say this is the crystallization of wisdom created by them to seek the answer to the last question?

Didn't you see that they are already bored and mass-producing systems for fun?

Would they still care about these trivial matters?

However, according to the company's established procedures, Class C systems come with three free opportunities, and one opportunity was just used up so haphazardly.

"If I tell the host the truth, how can I make him willingly work 996 hours?

If the host doesn't work 996, how can I happily collect money and slack off?

At most, I'll give the host a little compensation anyway.

I brought a lot of things before I came out, so just giving him some toys should be enough."

Xiao Jixiang looked at Chen Hao, who was in a brainstorming session, felt guilty for a second, and then quickly convinced herself.

Chen Hao was thinking about ways to protect himself when Xiao Jixiang suddenly spoke.

"Could the host be the legendary inheritor of the 'Gou Dao' (Way of Cunning Survival)? So 'gou' (cunning/cowardly) ~"

Chen Hao was startled and angered by the system's sudden mockery.

"What do you know!

Can this be called 'gou'?

This is called being cautious, understand!"

"Besides, if I really just brought out nuclear fusion or something like in novels, do you believe I'd be targeted by that group of foreign bandits tomorrow?

Even if I wasn't targeted by them, I'd be taken away for research."

"It's not that I don't trust the country; I don't trust the bad people among the masses."

"There's only the saying 'a thousand days of being a thief,' not 'a thousand days of guarding against a thief.'

If my relatives were targeted by those foreign entities, what would I do?

Just give up?

Who would want to die with a dog?

"I'm the kind of person who doesn't want to suffer even a little loss.

If it's my own people, then a little loss is fine; it's all staying within the family.

If I have vast wealth, I can afford to not care about trivial amounts, but why should I benefit outsiders?

Compromise?

It must be others who compromise!

Win-win?

It must be me winning twice!"

Chen Hao patted his chest, exuding an air of 'as expected of me'.

"Oh ho, I didn't expect the host to be surprisingly tough when he's 'hard.'

Not bad, not bad, very much to my liking.

I have a great idea, simple and effective.

Do you want to hear it?

Absolutely super safe."

Chen Hao raised an eyebrow, intrigued.

"Oh? What's the great idea? Tell me about it?"

"Simple, build a space station and live in outer space.

That way, no one can do anything to you.

You can even pretend to be an alien, how fun is that~"

Chen Hao's face immediately darkened after hearing the system's idea.

I didn't realize you, Xiao Jixiang, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, were also a 'fun-seeker' (lezi ren, someone who enjoys chaos/pranks).

"I say, Xiao Jixiang, do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'simple'?

Live in space?

What kind of good idea is that?

No, the focus is wrong.

Where am I supposed to get a space station?

Also, how big does it have to be to withstand anti-satellite weapons?"

"Host, you now have my help, so be more confident; broaden your horizons~"

Hearing Xiao Jixiang say this, Chen Hao seemed to realize something.

"Hmm? Wait a minute, Xiao Jixiang, can you really do it?"

"Although it's a little bit exaggerated, I do have a quite reliable plan.

But first, let me explain the detailed usage of the system to you."

"What do you mean?"

Facing Chen Hao's question, Xiao Jixiang pulled out the 'All-Domain Off-Duty Attendance and KPI Achievement Slack-Off Plan' that she had already prepared.

"You get three initial free Analysis matching opportunities, and the host just used one.

After that, each Analysis will cost credit points based on its difficulty.

credit points can be purchased with any currency, fluctuating according to the exchange rate.

The benchmark is a one-to-one exchange with Dragon Country currency, and the source must be the profit portion from normal trade processes.

Simply put, nuclear-powered money printing machines are a no-go."

"Once the Analysis is complete, all basic theories, actual data, and accompanying blueprints will be retrieved.

The theoretical knowledge and relevant data will automatically merge with the host's memory.

The time required for this process is the 'memory synchronization time.'"

"If you want to speed up the transmission, you can choose to manually add information, which is learning, or directly ' Krypton Gold' (spend money).

I personally recommend ' Krypton Gold' for better results."

"Simply put, ' Krypton Gold,' young man!

How else can you become stronger~ Accelerating by one day only costs one hundred million dragon coin~ Tempted?"

Chen Hao suddenly felt like he had boarded a pirate ship.

This Xiao Jixiang might not be a good person.

Didn't she say he could actively learn?

Why does she keep emphasizing ' Krypton Gold'?

Why do you, a system sister, need money?

Also, there were only three free opportunities, and one was deducted so vaguely.

But it sounds like this process is a bit familiar.

EVE capsuleer learning plan?

While Chen Hao was complaining internally, Xiao Jixiang was already browsing a certain online shopping site.

Her mouth was curving upwards wildly, muttering as she browsed.

"Even slacking off has to adapt to local customs, right?

I have to say, although this civilization is low-level, their methods of slacking off look so advanced.

There are so many types of the same item, unlike my hometown where it's quite monotonous.

I don't know why, but buying and buying feels so good, I really want to experience it, just waiting for the host to pay, hehehe~"

Chen Hao, of course, didn't know that Xiao Jixiang was already thinking about how to exploit him.

Even if he knew, there wasn't much he could do.

At most, he would go and exploit those 'lamppost decorations' himself.

"Xiao Jixiang, why didn't you say earlier that there were only three free opportunities?"

"You didn't ask, host~"

"I his....... Forget it, forget it.

Don't be angry, don't be angry, no one can replace you if you get sick.

We met because of fate......."

Chen Hao calmed himself down, having almost cursed.

He increasingly felt that this system was running further and further down the path of being a 'scoundrel'.
