That year, Ling Xiao, who was determined to sever all ties with karma, was caught in the sea during a smuggling trip. He was rescued by a blue-eyed man whose eyes were filled with numbers, each one captivating Ling Xiao. The man was even more perfect than a 3D model. The man said that he was a system, not human, but a technological product. However, this system did not belong to Ling Xiao. He said he was on a mission and saw Ling Xiao drowning on the way. Knowing that Ling Xiao was not meant to die, he saved him.

"What does the system do?" Xiao Lingxiao asked.

"Systems come in many types and departments, but most of them are designed to assist the host in performing tasks."

"In other words, the higher-ups will assign some tasks, select certain people or randomly select some people as hosts, bind their souls, and let these people complete the tasks. The system is just to assist them in their work."

“Each system and its host need to be bound together. Once bound, they will form a symbiotic relationship. The system will organize and distribute the tasks issued by its superiors to the host, who will then complete these tasks. The host will earn points by completing tasks, which can be exchanged for skills or money. They call this a ‘golden finger’. The system will also receive some points to upgrade itself or get promoted and receive some rewards.”

A handsome man was speaking on the side of the boat, while a child listened quietly with eyes full of admiration. The sea breeze was blowing on their faces, and it seemed that time had stopped at that moment. How pleasant it was!

"And what about you? Will you be bound to someone? Will you choose yourself or be assigned?" Little Lingxiao tilted its head, staring at it intently.

"I am the ace system, and I can choose for myself." The system seemed very proud, and it seemed quite satisfied with its ace status.

"Can you choose me?"

The system shook its head. "You're too young, little guy. These aren't suitable for you!"

"I'm really good! I don't need any of those supplementary tools. I'll give you all the points, and I learn things very quickly! Choose me!"

"The youngest of those people is 16 years old, and most of them are reborn. Do you know what rebirth is? It means they have all died once. So, you are not suitable. Besides, those missions are tiring and dangerous!"

"Did you die?"

"Hmm, do you know what death is? It's terrifying."

"Besides age and death, what else is needed to be bound to you? Or, what kind of person can be bound to you?"

"Well, I don't have any special requirements, but I like smart, gentle, and kind people. Ideally, they should be shrewd, have a good mind, be able to stand on their own, and be able to see ten steps ahead. It would be easy for me to assist such a person."

Have you ever encountered a host like this?

"Not yet, but I believe I will meet it!"

Can you tell me your name?

“We don’t have names, only numbers. My number is 07.”

"I will grow up obediently and become very strong, and then you and I will be bound together, okay?"

"Really? Then I look forward to my future host growing up quickly!" The system rubbed Xiao Lingxiao's head and then disappeared.

"I will definitely become your most perfect host." Ling Xiao smiled slightly and looked at the endless sea.

—————————Inside the Gate of Shock

The young man cautioned, "The 'Gate of Shock' amplifies your deepest fears; don't let it exploit your weaknesses!"

Ling Xiao discovered that his ears could hear again, and after thinking about what Xiao Ge had said, he went forward and removed the bells from the corpses.

While untying them, he muttered, "Go, go reincarnate! Don't meet me again in your next life!" Then the corpses turned into starlight and disappeared.

Then a door appeared out of thin air.

"The Gate of Shock! It's open! We succeeded!" Wu Xie shouted excitedly.

"Damn it, I thought it would be much more difficult! Lingzi just unrang a bell and the door opened!"

"Let's go!" the young man reminded them. The group walked out and the four of them returned to the starting point, but now only seven of the eight gates remained.

'Is it because we can't show everyone's fears at the same time? Or is it because they don't have anything to fear? So they only show what they find frightening?' Ling Xiao wondered.

"Which door should we go through next?"

"If it's that simple, it doesn't matter which way you go. Let me, Fatty, open the door!"
