209: Chapter 209 The Essence of the System

Chapter 209: The True Nature of the System

He just knew it. Gu Ming's strength was clearly not that impressive, so how could he suddenly have such a high luck value, even catching up to Shangguan Yunxi, the Child of the Plane?

It turned out it was all pieced together.

According to the System, it seemed to be the last attempt under the rules of the Heavenly Dao.

The Heavenly Dao simply wanted a Mandate of Heaven to appear, not realizing its own Dao rhyme was insufficient, yet it was treated by him as a harvesting machine for cultivation points.

Every time a Mandate of Heaven appeared, he would pluck it clean.

The Heavenly Dao of the Eternal Continent was truly a bit tragic.

This made him feel like a parasite, sucking dry all of the other party's life essence.

“Lin Yu, you’ve hit the nail on the head! The System's appearance is indeed for this very purpose! It truly is a parasite, just needing a host!”

“Holy crap, System, what you’re saying is a bit scary. According to you, am I also a host?”

“What do you think? However, the host is the beneficiary, so you two have a cooperative relationship.”

“This… then what are you? You’re acting as if it has nothing to do with you!”

“According to your Earth’s terminology, please call me customer service.”

“No, something’s off with you. You’re talking a bit too much today. You would never have talked about these things before!”

The more Lin Yu listened, the more he felt something was amiss.

Although these matters made him a bit unnerved.

What he cared about more was the System’s attitude.

Before, this guy would never have told him these things.

Now, why was it answering every question, even revealing the System’s secrets?

“Heh heh, this System is about to upgrade, so my authority naturally increased. There’s no harm in telling you these things.”

“Besides, at your level, you should know these things. You might even find them useful in the future.”

So that was it!

He just knew it; this guy wasn't like this before.

It turned out it was going to upgrade, and its authority had increased.

However, he now also understood the true nature of the System.

The one who could communicate with him was this 'customer service,' but its authority was much higher.

The true System did not possess communication abilities, but it definitely had a higher level of intelligence and capability.

Using the Heavenly Dao’s luck to feed back to them, the hosts, he wondered what it was trying to do!

Judging by this guy’s tone, it didn't seem to have any ill intentions, just a cooperative relationship.

Of course, this guy was also someone else’s customer service, so he couldn’t fully trust it, or perhaps this guy didn’t know everything either.

He still needed to be on guard.

“By the way, Lin Yu, you should communicate well with your little girlfriend. My upgrade requires drawing out the System Soul from her.”

“Don’t be in a hurry. First, tell me, what will happen to Dragon Ziyan if she loses the System?”

Hearing the System’s words again, Lin Yu did not agree immediately.

He did not want Dragon Ziyan to have any problems.

At this moment, the two girls had already slipped out of his embrace.

Feng Jiuge also seized this opportunity to tease Dragon Ziyan relentlessly.

The two of them started playing around again, and in a short while, they treated him as if he were invisible.

Their clothes were also askew, completely unconcerned that Lin Yu had a full view of their charms.

He certainly didn't want to ruin Dragon Ziyan because of the System's upgrade when the scene was so harmonious.

“Don’t worry, losing this System means she only loses her Immortal Body, but she can resume cultivation, and her physique will undergo a mutation, allowing her to cultivate even better.”

“Alright, I’ll ask for her thoughts. Don’t do anything reckless!”

With the System’s assurance, Lin Yu put his worries aside.

However, this matter still depended on Dragon Ziyan’s own thoughts.

If she wasn't willing, Lin Yu would not forcibly separate it.

“Jiuge Master, you should return to the sect first. Dragon Ziyan and I have something to discuss. I’ll bring Dragon Ziyan back a bit later!”

He walked over to the two of them, rubbed Feng Jiuge’s little head, and said.

He temporarily didn’t want his uninformed confidantes to know about the System.

It wasn’t a matter of distrust, but rather that he himself didn’t know whether this thing was good or bad, and the fewer people who knew, the better.

Once he understood everything, he would naturally tell them everything.

“Little Yu, are you telling the truth? Don’t lie to me, and don’t run off by yourself again!”

Feng Jiuge heard this, looked at Lin Yu, and pouted, mumbling.

A hint of unhappiness appeared on her face.

Ever since her Little Yu became stronger, he had been running around everywhere, and she couldn’t find him.

This time, she finally caught him, and she was a bit reluctant to leave.

“Don’t worry, when we go back this time, I’ll roast chicken for you. You can eat as many as you want!”

Lin Yu flicked her delicate nose, making a promise with doting affection.

This time, he indeed had no plans to leave again for a short period.

Firstly, the System upgrade required time; secondly, he was waiting for Lin Fei to awaken.

Most importantly, there was nothing for him to do outside anymore.

That Gu Ming was not sent to the Central Region by Shangguan Yunxi, so he didn’t have to worry about how fast he could grow.

Also, the Northern Frontier would gradually become a gathering place for the geniuses of the five major regions in the coming years.

Because whether it was Lin Fei, Lin Yu, or the newly emerged Gu Ming, they were all in this Northern Frontier land. Those monstrous geniuses from the Central Region who wanted to prove themselves would have to come.

Coupled with the collective arrival of the three major powerhouses, many forces would gradually shift their focus here.

“Mm-hmm, then I’ll go back to the sect and wait for you two.”

After receiving Lin Yu’s assurance, Feng Jiuge reluctantly nodded.

Then, she lightly tiptoed, gave him a sweet kiss, and left the boudoir hall.

“Fellow countryman, why did you want to talk to me alone?”

After Feng Jiuge left, Dragon Ziyan walked to the tea table and sat down, asking with a hint of curiosity.

As she spoke, she casually picked up a dessert from the table and started eating.

Now that only she and Lin Yu were left, she also let loose and became more relaxed.

Her true nature was not that of a prim and proper young lady.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become good friends with someone of Feng Jiuge’s personality.

As for Lin Yu leaving her alone to talk, she actually had a general guess, but she didn’t know if it was about opening up and talking things through clearly.

The most crucial thing was, she also wanted to know what kind of golden finger this fellow countryman of hers had to be so successful.

Also, whether he could help her.

“What, is there nothing, so I can’t talk to you alone?”

Lin Yu glanced at Dragon Ziyan, annoyed.

This woman was truly good at acting. Her tone changed so quickly. When Feng Jiuge was here just now, she wasn’t like this.

If he didn’t know that her favorability had already reached 100, and there was that lingering kiss just now, he would even doubt if this woman had any good feelings for him.

The way she looked at him was a bit like interrogating a prisoner.

“Yes, of course I can, but… you answer one question for me first!”

“Oh? What question? Tell me.”

“You’re doing so well, do you have a way to help me solve the problem of not being able to cultivate?”

“This… what if I can’t solve it?”
