The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Five minutes before the alarm clock that Xu Yiyu set rang, the Chosen System interrupted the attempt to contact the Supreme System with a dark and heroic face.

The data flow within the entity, glowing blue, has been maintained at an extremely high flow rate, seemingly reflecting the confusion and dissatisfaction in its source data.

It is clearly able to send inter-system connection signals to the plane where it was born, but the Supreme System has never responded to its signal frequency band once.

It speculated that its father God must have done it on purpose.

"Father God, do you have any plans?"

As the only S-level system in that plane, the Chosen System quickly sensed a hidden meaning in the abnormal silence of the Supreme System.

Every action of our Father God has its purpose.

Whether it is helping it select a suitable host or updating its version at this juncture, it is actually beneficial for it to better assist the host to complete the task.

The Chosen System stared at the signal frequency band in its source data that was specifically used to contact the Supreme System, but ultimately chose not to continue contacting the Supreme System.

Knowing that the host would wake up in no more than a few minutes, the Chosen System first re-condensed the real entities in the room in a familiar manner, and then maintained a safe distance from the host and used the All Things Scanning System to scan outside the room.

Although it can indeed scan an area of ​​about ten meters in radius, within this range, apart from stones, rock layers and soil, there are only a few water bodies that extend not too far, and no information that can be helpful to the host can be found.

It tried to pass through the wall in its physical form and succeeded easily with almost no hindrance.

"Strange, the restraint this place has on me...seems to be getting weaker and weaker."

After the Chosen System passed through the wall and came to the central hall where the clepsydra was placed, it discovered that the remaining liquid in the clepsydra was very small and the water would run out in no more than three minutes.

It tried to use the All Things Scanning System to explore the space behind the tall stone gate, but the scanning ray was bounced back when it touched the stone gate.

It seemed as if the owner of the underground palace had set up an invisible and intangible barrier on the stone gate, blocking all forces and means that attempted to explore the structure of the underground palace in advance.

The Chosen System originally wanted to go through the wall and return to the room, but when it saw the room on the other side of the clock, for some reason, it inexplicably scanned Lin Yi and Rong Yan in the room again.

——The material of the two unknown crystals in Rong Yan’s backpack really surprised the Chosen System, which usually had no emotions, for a while.

"How could an organic crystal mine that only exists in the upper plane appear on the Blue Planet?"

"Is there really no problem with the identity of the owner of this underground palace?"

The moment doubts arose in the Chosen System, it thought of the horrific wounds on its host's hands. The depressions and lines on the surface of the black ice crystals matched the wound surface perfectly.

The young man's heroic features contracted slightly, and his expression became somewhat solemn.

The background of the owner of the underground palace should be more important than the host had expected.

The Chosen System estimated the time when the host would wake up, and no longer stayed in the outer hall. It immediately passed through the wall and returned to the room where Xu Yiyu was.

After it dispersed the entities in the real space and returned to Xu Yiyu's consciousness world, the alarm clock she had set in advance rang on time. The clear ringtone echoed in this medium-sized stone chamber, making a few not-so-obvious echoes.

"Haha, time is up so soon..."

Xu Yiyu turned over, raised his hand to accurately turn off the alarm clock, and sat up from the stone bed yawning.

The black cat curled up beside her pillow seemed to be startled by the sound of the alarm clock. It opened its dark green eyes lazily, put its front legs on the edge of the stone bed, stretched out, and yawned loudly with its mouth wide open.

"Host, wake up quickly. This system's hibernation time ended earlier than yours, and I found some useful information in advance."

The clear voice of his own Tongzi sounded in his conscious world. Xu Yiyu rubbed his eyes hastily, forced himself to stay awake and sank into his own conscious world.

Normally, Tongzi would never urge Xu to do anything.

——Unless she really discovered some valuable information to her, or some unavoidable situation occurred.

"Huh, even though it's only been twelve hours, why do I feel like I haven't seen you in this space of the conscious world for a long time?"

While stretching his body, Xu Yiyu walked in front of his own Tongzi, whose entity had been re-condensed, and sighed unconsciously.

The Chosen System was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the host who was approaching, and was speechless for a moment.

Of course it knew that the host had no intention of complaining, but it couldn't help but feel a trace of "guilt" and "fear" in the data flow blood flowing throughout its body.

The twelve hours when it is unable to respond to the host are also the twelve hours when the host needs help the most.

She solved the puzzle, saved her companions, and passed the levels set by the owner of the underground palace.

...was also injured.

This was the first and only time she was injured since it bound Xu Yiyu.

The process of system version update is irreversible, which is the basic logic of the system.

But if the host's life is threatened, what practical help can it provide to the host even if its system version is updated to be more perfect?

Xu Yiyu raised his eyes and saw the complicated expression on Tongzi's face in his youthful form, and keenly noticed that something was wrong.

"Tongzi, don't feel guilty or afraid. I made the choice to update the version for you. I will naturally protect myself in the process."

She raised her lips and smiled carelessly at the Chosen System, but there was a comforting look in her eyes.

"Let's take a step back and say, even if something unexpected happens, I will pay for my actions. You don't have to blame yourself."

After my own Tongzi was updated, the existence of "emotions" became more and more obvious.

It was indeed a good thing, but she didn't want Tongzi to have any unnecessary negative emotions because of it.

"I, I don't blame myself! Host, you are definitely overthinking it!"

The Chosen System turned its face away slightly, actively avoiding the host's gaze for the first time, and refuted her words with a lack of confidence.

Then, without waiting for its host to respond, it changed the subject very abruptly.

"Host, this system just detected a few minutes ago that neither the black ice crystals that caused your wound nor the crystal mine you and your two companions passed through are materials belonging to the planet Blue Star."

Xu Yiyu originally wanted to say a few words to comfort his Tongzi, but when he accurately captured the huge amount of information in Tongzi's words, he suddenly realized something and the smile on his lips quickly disappeared.

These two substances do not belong to this planet, which means that -

"Tongzi, if I understand correctly, what you just said means——"

Xu Yiyu looked straight into Tongzi's eyes and paused for a few seconds before saying the second half of his words.

"The person who can place these two substances that do not belong to this planet together in this underground palace is likely to be someone who can easily access these two substances in some way?"
