How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

A ball of light collided with the light barrier of the great array, creating ripples that spread out in circles.

“We’ve caught him,” Miss Fox said, frowning. “But it seems we haven’t caught him completely.”

The strange ball of light fell to the ground, accompanied by Xiao Liu's voice: "What? What happened?!"

The portal system moved very quickly, taking Xiao Liu's soul with it.

Because of this, Xiao Liu slowed down the system and was blocked by the light barrier of the array, which allowed him to escape.

As a result, the system paid the price of escaping unscathed, failing to completely catch this claim.

"The system's functions have all been implemented, and it seems to have completely integrated with you." Miss Fox said with a smile as she picked up the ball of light.

The system's intelligence has run away, and the original host, Xiao Liu, has inherited all of the former intelligence's assets.

Xiao Liu: "So, that means I've become a system!?"

Miss Fox nodded: "Yes, that's not wrong."

Upon closer inspection, Xiao Liu discovered that the system logs had been completely deleted, and this portal system truly was just a portal system, unlike Xi Duo's, which appeared to be a possession system but had actually had its name changed dozens of times and secretly deducted the host's points...

Well, Xiao Liu's portal system is also being skimped on, but the only other functions are related to the portal itself.

No wonder it shed its skin so decisively; if it had hesitated even a little, Miss Fox would have caught it completely.

"Never mind, as long as the result is acceptable."

Chapter 858 Miss Fox: Hehe~

Although we still haven't managed to capture the original system alive, at least we've resolved the potential problem.

Incidentally...

"Damn it! That evil spirit! That bastard withheld 90% of my reward, only giving me eight of the items that were originally supposed to be a reward!"

After thoroughly exploring the system's functions, Xiao Liu became much richer, which is quite amusing.

Withholding 90% of the rewards is even more exploitative than capitalists.

"Try to look on the bright side. We've already gotten back the reward we were owed, haven't we?" Her tone rose several octaves.

Indeed, when happiness is built on the suffering of others, schadenfreude is the greatest joy.

"Being fooled by the system isn't shameful; it's better to work hard to improve it than to have no system at all."

It's exploitative to a certain extent; it's hardly a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Because of this experience, the system couldn't run away with the bucket, but instead left with nothing. Miss Fox also learned from Xiao Liu what the system was after.

Essentially, the system is a thief.

Using the host's skin, they lurk in various worlds and steal things from the world's origin to strengthen themselves, which are the points rewarded by missions, based on the host's actions.

Of course, there are nuances to this stealth.

Based on the information obtained by connecting to the world's consciousness through the whispered verses, the system's approach can be broadly categorized into the following two types:

One method is to replicate. You get less, but it's safer. Even if you're discovered, you'll only be slightly punished and have to spit out some stuff to get away with it. Well, that's assuming the world's consciousness is in a good mood.

Another method is to simply steal it. At first, there's no fuss, allowing the host to gradually set up a plan, leading all the natives astray in one fell swoop. Then, the system takes the opportunity to bite off a large chunk of the source, runs away with the host, and repeats the same pattern in the next world.

In short, they're basically all bad stuff.

The hosts are basically just tools of the system; once they have no further use, they are discarded and the next one is moved on.

Most hosts are addicted to the thrill of exchanging power through the system without having to cultivate hard. Once the host leaves, they become useless. Since all their abilities are given by the system, most of them lack the matching mentality and usually die very quickly after being abandoned by the system.

The world consciousness of Akame ga Kill! was located in the Far East, which is the area where the Sun Wheel Expedition storyline takes place. In fact, not long ago, a transmigrator with a system came here.

According to the World Consciousness, the host was tired of the life of constantly traveling and decided to live in seclusion on that small island. He repeatedly ignored the system's tasks, which caused the system to simply pack up and run away.

Then the time traveler was confronted by his enemies from the Time and Space Administration, and without his powers, he was brutally murdered.

"Time and Space Administration Bureau!" Xiao Liu exclaimed in surprise, showing his lack of knowledge.

Miss Fox had to explain things to him, and also mentioned the Transmigrator Alliance and the Imitation God Space.

"Hmm, now that I think about it, the Transmigrator Alliance, the Time and Space Administration, the Imitation God Space, and the System really have that fantasy feel to them."

The Alliance, the Administration Bureau, and the Main God are basically the three giants, super forces entrenched in the Dimensional Sea, and they may even have their own independent worlds.

The system and the lone traveler are independent cultivators who secretly grow stronger through their own means.

There are also smaller organizations like the Time-Space Administration Bureau in the Nanoha world.

"The scope of my thinking has suddenly broadened!" Xiao Liu exclaimed.

That dreamy expression suggests he was fantasizing about what role he would play in the future.

"You should just give up. You can't even destroy a planet, so stop thinking about such unrealistic things." He rolled his eyes to show his disdain.

Such a super-giant occupying the sea of ​​dimensions must have been something that only transcendent beings, who are not bound by world consciousness, could possibly intervene in.

That's far from what they should be thinking about right now.

"Instead of thinking about those things, you should think about how to clear up the misunderstanding when you go to other worlds in the future, Little Liu Teleportation System." He patted Little Liu's shoulder hard.

Xiao Liu's face immediately fell.

According to information obtained from the world consciousness of Akame ga Kill!, although there are a few units in the system that simply engage in barter and adopt a win-win approach, their overall reputation is not good.

Some world consciousnesses that have been harmed will kill each other without any regard for right or wrong once they discover the system.

Now that Xiao Liu has become a system himself, without a host, he'll be discovered as soon as he goes there.

"What if we just ran into them..."

"Miss Fox, don't scare me..." Xiao Liu wiped away his cold sweat and forced a smile.

He understood the problem.

After becoming a system, Xiao Liu will definitely implement a win-win strategy, but the other party has to give him the opportunity.

If he were to run into a really unlucky person and the other party were to kill him outright, there would be nothing he could do.

Wait, that's not right, it seems like there is a solution!

Xiao Liu's eyes lit up, and he stared intently at Miss Fox—

“But I refuse!” Miss Fox shook her head, her hands clasped in front of her.

Xiao Liu: "......"

I haven't said anything yet!

"Heh, isn't it easy for you to guess?" He just wants to use her as a host.

Even if there's nothing wrong with Little Liu's teleportation system, Miss Fox still doesn't like this kind of thing.

Something with a clear sense of self binds itself to itself.

"Just thinking about this kind of thing gives me goosebumps. You should find someone else."

Besides, even if you want to bind her to someone, you at least have to be able to make her experience the effects.

She's an absolute blank slate.

"Uh..." Xiao Liu scratched his head in disappointment, "So, should I use this door-opening opportunity that's been cooled down?"

"You should discuss this with your superiors, don't discuss it with me."

"Alright, I'll go find someone to discuss it with right away!"

Xiao Liu left excitedly.

Then he ran back excitedly: "Miss Fox, could you please open the door?"

The system's trap is still active; Xiao Liu, now part of the system, has no way to escape.

emmmmmm...

This is quite unexpected.

"Actually, I hadn't considered closing it." Miss Fox replied with a smile, as she passed through the light barrier without any hindrance and left the great formation.

The original plan was that if we captured the system, we would ask it everything we could, and then dismantle it.

Naturally, the issue of shutting down the array wasn't considered; the intention was to completely bind the system.

Xiao Liu, standing in the middle of the formation, had a frozen expression.

"But you don't need to worry, this is a one-time use item. It will shut off by itself when the energy is depleted, hehe~" Miss Fox stuck out her tongue and acted cute.

Xiao Liu took a deep breath, "Then, could we... sabotage it..."

"BOOM!"

Miss Fox's vivid gestures and onomatopoeia interrupted Xiao Liu, making him realize that he shouldn't think about such things anymore, as it was life-threatening.

My feelings were complicated.

Miss Fox always seems to mess things up in strange places, constantly wavering between being reliable and unreliable.

"How long will that take...?"

"Hey~"

Xiao Liu: "......"

Chapter 859 Please Choose Your Faction

In the end, Xiao Liu only sunbathed for half a day before coming out.

Since it was a one-time use formation, it didn't take into account the issue of power supply. Without Miss Fox's continuous power supply, it quickly went out on its own.

"Well then, Miss Fox, I'm going to open the door now."

The meeting was held via a convenient network, and after intense discussions, the opening argument ultimately prevailed by a narrow margin.

According to Xiao Liu, Miss Fox played a crucial role in the debate.

It could even be said that without Miss Fox, there would have been no decision to open the door.

"Actually, there's no need to rush." ​​Miss Fox yawned boredly, her tendency to feel drowsy in spring, lethargic in summer, sleepy in autumn, and hibernating in winter kicking in.

After all, she is currently in a situation where she is forced to work.

"We can definitely digest what we have first before making any further moves. Taking it easy is the best approach."

Now that Xiao Liu is a system, going through the door will definitely not be as smooth as when he was just a human.

Thinking about this perfectly offsets any anticipation of opening blind boxes.

"No way! Don't be a coward, just do it!" Miss Purple-Haired Qi Pu had a completely different opinion. "The meaning of life lies in continuous progress. How can we stand still in this kind of thing? Charge! Charge! Charge! Open the door to a new world!!"

The impassioned voice drew everyone's attention, and even the guards couldn't help but glance at Qi Pu a few more times.

"Actually, the higher-ups are more inclined to play it safe, because they haven't fully grasped many things yet, and the resources here haven't started to recoup their costs..." Xiao Liu said with an awkward chuckle, trying to reassure Qi Pu.

In reality, his victory in the open debate was mainly due to his personal preference for opening the door.

After all, he learned about the existence of the Transmigrator Alliance, the Time and Space Administration, and the Imitation God Space from Miss Fox. As a qualified new hot-blooded system, it was hard for him not to be anxious. And having never quit drugs, he naturally couldn't help himself.

As someone with a system, I am now the protagonist of the system.

Xiao Liu felt that his progress was too slow. Life needed to be accelerated, his strength needed to be increased, he needed to become a transcendent being, walk on the edge of the three giants, defeat evil, and unify the entire dimensional sea!

Just thinking about it is exciting!

They couldn't help but voice their inner thoughts.

This is how time travelers should be depicted!

"This is not the time to dream, please don't talk in your sleep." Miss Fox took a step back in disgust and reminded her, "You're drooling."

"Ah, this..." She quickly wiped her mouth, realizing she hadn't actually drooled.
