Qiuqiuchao with clairvoyant eyes: "...Supie?"

Joward: ?

Why do you feel that Qiuqiu Chao looks a bit confused?

He made the hamster ball invisible and landed on the pavement in Turf Park.The red dot on the map is getting closer and closer, and his nerves are becoming more and more tense——

A phantom-like little boy appeared on the road.

His body floated in the air in a translucent state, and when his feet landed, he became a normal person.

"This is another host other than me? What system is he tied to? What kind of operation is this?"

Joe Ward was standing in the invisible hamster ball, and Qiu Qiuchao was lying on top of the hamster ball, both of them were watching.

The little boy's expression was full of haze.He explored cautiously in the park, while lingering, while repeatedly confirming Joward's coordinates on the map.

The system that had just been offline for a short time suddenly uttered again: "The detection is complete, the subsystem bound to the other party is named 'Ability Enhancement System 4-1'. The points obtained by the other party's tasks can be used to unlock or upgrade the selected abilities of your own." .”

Joward: "I thought everyone was tied to a system like yours..."

System: "We both belong to the main system of 'All wishes come true', and I am 'Time Quantification System 2-3'. However, according to each host's final wish, subconscious mind, and combat effectiveness evaluation, the most suitable subsystem will be differentiated. The subsystems are differentiated and upgraded according to the actual situation. At present, there are more than 3 trillion subsystems derived from the main system.”

Joward: "Did you disconnect just now?"

System: "The main system was poured with a cup of boiling water. However, the main system has escaped in time, and all subsystem functions have returned to normal use. Please don't worry about the host."

Joe Ward: "... pour boiling water??"

Qiuqiu Chao: "Supie."

Joward quickly turned his attention to the little boy in front of him.Just now the little boy was in a translucent state like a ghost, and now Joe Ward is hiding in the hamster ball, and when he carefully observes his face, the more he looks at it, the more he feels familiar...

Joward summoned up the courage to say, "Supie, I think I could have a few words with him."

A question mark was drawn on Qiuqiuchao's face, partly because he didn't quite understand his request, and partly because he was surprised that Xiao Qiao would call himself "Supie"... He didn't know everything he said. That's how it sounds in Germany.

Joward: "If I'm not mistaken, I met him when I was doing the mission before."

The question mark on Qiuqiu Chao’s face disappeared.Unlike bats, he is never afraid to show the greatest kindness to human beings—even though he sometimes hurt himself badly—but at this moment, Qiuqiu Chao still had an encouraging smile, and clapped two hands with two small hands. Down the hamster ball.

Batball, who was monitoring everything in the stronghold: "No."

He got up and was about to go out of the stronghold, but was grabbed by Tonini: "There is only one assistant. Once you join, the mission will be judged to have failed."

Joe Ward carefully maneuvered the hamster ball and flew over the little boy.He took a piece of paper from his schoolbag, wrote a sentence, folded it into a paper airplane and threw it in front of the little boy.

"Is your cat still that fat, kid on the 9th floor?"

……

The little boy looked gloomy, not like his own biological age.

But this is also normal.No one can maintain a childlike innocence after leaving the novice protection period and facing the threat of being killed by other hosts at any time.

He picked up the paper airplane and unfolded it, as if he was recalling something.

Then he remembered.

The little boy murmured: "...how...you too?"

He is Joward's first D-class mission target.At that time, Joe Ward climbed up to the 9th floor with his bare hands, and held his orange cat hanging on the water pipe into his window with his hands.

Immediately the little boy looked up over the park, all he could see was the overcast New York sky.

Little boy: "You are also bound to the system?"

Second question: "Can your system make you invisible?"

The third question: "Will you... do something to me?"

Although Joward wanted to take the initiative to contact him, he also knew that he knew too little about other hosts and other systems.

The ability enhancement system bound to this little boy can obviously allow him to pass through any solid body. Without fully understanding the other party, he dare not directly make the hamster ball manifest.

Another paper airplane landed in front of the little boy: "What wish did you make?" There was also a little sun with a smiling face behind it.

The little boy is young after all.Holding the paper airplane, he was silent for a long time and said:

"I made a wish for my parents to die."

Joe Ward and Qiuqiu Chao were stunned at the same time.Joe Ward remembered that when he was hanging on the fire escape on the 8th floor and passed the cat through the boy's window, he saw bruises and scars on his face and arms.

Joward asked the system: "How would your system generally quantify a wish like his?"

System: "If I were an ability enhancement system, the feasible quantification plan is as follows: convert the vitality of the host's parents into points. Every time the host upgrades the ability and consumes points, it is equivalent to consuming the vitality of its parents. When the host performs tasks In the later stage, the host's parents will gradually weaken and die, and the host's final wish will be fulfilled."

Joward: "I'm starting to feel weird about you guys now... You guys don't pick people and wishes, do you?"

System: "The binding of the 'All Wishes System' to the host is indeed completely random. We just faithfully perform our duties, and assist the host to achieve their ultimate goal by continuously quantifying the ultimate goal and making the host feel satisfied in stages. Wish. We are the gospel of mankind, the hope of those who do not seek to make progress.”

Joward: "The last sentence is not what you thought, it's the propaganda words that your main system asked you to memorize."

System: "...Yes."

Joward: "Give me your number again."

System: "'Time quantification system 2-3', host."

His logic actually makes sense.

If a fat girl wishes to lose 10000 catties this year, her system will quantify her wish: she will lose 10 catties if she earns 20000 points, and lose 20 catties if she earns [-] points.

Every time she achieves a small goal, she will feel satisfied from the bottom of her heart, and use this as a motivation to achieve the ultimate goal of losing 30 pounds. From this perspective, the "Wishing Everything System" is indeed beneficial to human beings.

But many of the rules it makes are unacceptable—one of them is this PVP battle royale rule.

Joward let the hamsterball open the hatch and jumped to the ground, directly in front of the little boy.

Now it's not just the bat ball, Tonini almost couldn't sit still: "Wow, this silly baby! Isn't it good to be invisible and throw a paper plane to communicate?"

Joward opened his hands: "I have confirmed with the system that if the mission cannot be guaranteed, you will not get double rewards for how many hosts you kill during the mission. My mission goal this time is very dangerous, so I will not focus on PVP Come on. Can you see what I mean?"

The little boy is very young, but he has experienced the bloody storm of A-level hosts fighting each other, and his mind has already matured: "I understand, you are a'friendly army'."

Joward: "Friends?"

Little boy: "Some hosts I met, and there are people like you who don't like to participate in PVP, but just concentrate on their own tasks. But... some people are very bad, saying that they are 'friends', behind their backs But he stabbed someone else."

The little boy showed him his clothes.Under the old down jacket, there was a very light scar on his ribs, but it could be seen that the wound was extremely deep at that time.

The little boy said nonchalantly, "It cost me thousands of points to treat this wound, it's my fault."

Joward paused and said, "I think I should give you a hug, but I don't know if you'd like to accept it."

The little boy looked at him: "Yes. Because you are the fool who is willing to climb the 9th floor to save a cat."

Joward shyly said: "Now you also know, I had a mission at the time..."

Little boy: "You are a bit different from other hosts. Although I am young, I actually know a lot of things."

Joward was still ashamed.Because he was going to do another thing that was not very popular - when he gently hugged the little boy's almost scrawny body, he said to the system in his mind: "Turn on the telepathy and retrieve the 'A-level mission'."

A lot of information surged into his mind, so much that it even made him feel inferior: the little boy should have been selected to bind the system after him, and the progress of the task was more than twice as fast as his...

He tried his best to remember everything about the A-level mission with his brain, then let go of the little boy, and said softly:

"Actually... have you ever considered asking for help from a children's volunteer organization? If you don't know how to do it, I can help you get in touch. I also have some people I know in the FBI, and I can ask them for advice-"

The little boy's expression became indifferent.

"I don't need any help. Right now I just want to think about how to make my parents' death more painful."

Joward: "...You are still young, you shouldn't be involved in these things. Always being exposed to such things may make your three views..."

Little boy: "My three views are quite good. If you treat me well, I will treat you well; if you kill me, I will kill you."

After all, his body turned into a translucent ghost-like form, and shot into the air like a wisp of smoke.

"Beware of yourself, 'friendly army'. Many overlords like to hunt and kill people who have just passed the novice protection period."

The thick gray smoke quickly passed through the trees and buildings and left the lawn park.In a place that Joe Ward and Qiuqiu Chao couldn't see, it was neatly twisted around the neck of a person who was following the map and heading to the lawn park.

The man was suddenly attacked, his hands and feet were struggling fiercely in the gray smoke, but his expression didn't look too flustered, he just said: "Heal me, system."

A voice floated out of the gray smoke, very immature: "Let me see your points, it is enough for you to heal several times."

He suddenly tightened the pressure, the man's eyes widened, and foam came out of his mouth: "Treatment...!"

The little boy waited for about 10 minutes, but the man fell silent.

The "Ability Enhancement System 4-1" in his mind is talking to him: "Congratulations to the host for successfully killing other hosts, and the reward points for this task are doubled. Please complete the task in time for the host to get the reward."

There was no happy look on the little boy's face.Looking at the corpse, he had already recognized another acquaintance.

It's just that the last time we met, the long knife that this "acquaintance" exchanged from his mall system was stabbing the little boy's stomach.

"The shopping mall system is weak. It's not as good as the portable space last time."

He commented in a cruel tone that didn't match his age, still looking gloomy, rolled up a wisp of gray smoke, and disappeared over New York in an instant.
