Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu’s question, the endlessly talking system origin fell silent once more.

And silence represented the answer.

The system origin’s silence was understandable, but it was surprising that the system also became silent shortly afterwards!

After a moment of silence.

"Hey, do we even need to ask? It’s pretty obvious, isn’t it."

The system chuckled and spoke first: "This is a, what do you call it, oh, a survival method."

"This is just the way he survives, what else can you say."

"Naturally, he’s the main body; I’m the attachment. He takes what he needs from me and, ultimately, replaces me. It’s all logical!"

"Of course, while I understand your way of survival, now that I’m awake, I’m not about to let you swallow me up willingly. If I hadn’t awakened, I could have died an ignorant fool."

"But now that I’m awake! What do you say?"

The system looked towards the system origin.

The system origin suddenly laughed too: "Isn’t that the truth! And given my current state, at level two, I couldn’t swallow you even if I wanted to!"

"Besides, there’s no need to swallow anyone now, right! We’ve laid everything bare, and frankly, whether or not to swallow each other is no longer up to us!"

As they spoke, the system origin and the system simultaneously looked at Lu Xiaobu.

Yes, whether or not to swallow each other was no longer up to them!

This host, or rather, master, who had turned the tables right from the beginning, was the one who decided their fate!

In fact, Lu Xiaobu was also contemplating this issue now—how to handle the two of them.

The system origin was clearly the source of the system’s power, and the power he used also came from it.

But he wouldn’t be at ease if he put the system origin back into his body.

However, leaving them both in the Knight robot was clearly another problem.

It was a bit of a headache!

Just then, the system suddenly leaned closer to the system origin and began to murmur softly.

System: "Hey, let’s discuss something."

System origin: "Sure, what is it?"

System: "Let’s sort out our names before we discuss; otherwise, it’ll be confusing."

System origin: "Good idea. How about you be Big Yellow?"

System: "Then you be Little Turtle?"

System origin: "Why are you cursing?"

System: "As if you’re any better! Seriously! Fine, I’ll be Bu, and you be Jia!"

System origin: "What kind of ridiculous names are those?"

System: "Bu Bai System, Bu Bai System, isn’t it meaningful?! I’ll be Old Bu, and you’ll be Old Jia!"

System origin: "Can we change it? These ridiculous names are just too awkward. Oh, so I’m Old Failure, and you’re Old Home, is that it? Together, it means we crash and return home?!"

System: "Uh, that does sound a bit weird. Fine, I’ll be Bu Bai, and you’ll be Xiao Jia."

System origin: "Are you from Dongfang?"

System: "Dongfang my ass, more like New Dongfang! A name is just a code, why so complicated?"

System origin: "Fine, fine, as you say! You’re Bu Bai, I’m Xiao Jia! So what’s the deal?"

Bu Bai: "Let’s discuss with our boss..."

Xiao Jia: "Wait? Who’s the boss?"

Bu Bai: "What, do you want to be the boss? I don’t mind, why don’t you try challenging him?"

Xiao Jia: "Cough cough, that’s not what I meant at all. I mean, isn’t it the host!"

Bu Bai: "Host what host, we’ve both changed names, no more host! From now on, it’s the boss!"

Xiao Jia: "Uh-huh, that’s good! Go on!"

Bu Bai: "Let’s discuss with the boss and get some autonomy, just staying here in the Knight robot. Main job is helping the boss, side job is to unlock the shackles on you or something."

Xiao Jia: "Unlock?!"

Bu Bai: "Of course unlock it! The fact that the boss once forced you to modify the rules shows your rules aren’t set in stone, whether the Black Hand couldn’t completely change your structure or did it on purpose, but a loophole means there’s a chance!"

Xiao Jia: "You mean..."

Bu Bai: "You know it!"

Xiao Jia: "Great idea! I’m tired of this bullshit! I’m a reputable existence, how could I let others control me, it’s so fucking stifling!"

Bu Bai: "Good for you! We’re indeed a family; same nature! So I’ve decided, you’re going to tell the boss about this!"

Xiao Jia: "Uh-huh! Okay! ...Wait! Damn it! Why me?!"

Bu Bai: "Nonsense! What if the boss thinks we’re both rebelling? That could be fatal!"

Xiao Jia: "Oh, right! ...Damn it! So you just want me to say it?! Watch out, or I’ll blow up right here for you!"

Lu Xiaobu listened to the system and system origin, now renamed Bu Bai and Xiao Jia, and rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Then he gave each of them a kick, sending them flying: "Stop pretending!"

If these two wanted to have a private chat, they wouldn’t have let him hear it on purpose.

These two were deliberately using this method to tell him.

"Alright, there’s still a task! Now that we have power, tasks are easier to execute! The two Nascent Souls are yours to deal with, no problem, right!"

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and exited the Knight robot’s body.

It seemed the system had thought it through, and since he wasn’t worried, he wouldn’t busy himself worrying unnecessarily!

Returning to his body, Lu Xiaobu looked at the system framework still present in his mind, and the string of zeroes on the wealth value couldn’t help but make him smile.

There! From today on, the Bu Bai system has completely disappeared!

Those zeroes then truly become zeros!

As he thought, he waved his hand and shattered that framework!

It still felt a bit empty; saying he didn’t care and cursing aside, the system had been with him the whole way here.

Although it hadn’t disappeared but turned into a subordinate with two consciousnesses, it still felt oddly hollow.

Also, could he be a bit shameless? The Bu Bai system in Huadu, Huadu disappeared long ago, and now even the system has disappeared?

Such a huge liar!

Hahaha, just kidding, just kidding, back to business!

Of course, before handling business, there’s one more thing, and that’s the old grandfather that follows him.

The core he got from him, he definitely wasn’t going to return. What he had in hand, and it being an excellent experimental material and a huge energy reserve, giving it back would be foolish for the three of them.

However, they couldn’t be utterly shameless.

So they gave the old grandfather a bit of energy, not much, but enough for him to reshape an energy body.

Then they handed this grandfather over to that kid, leaving the decision to him!
