Chapter 1695: Chapter 1697: Manipulated by Someone?!
Has Lu Xiaobu returned?
Yes, he has returned smoothly, except he’s a bit dizzy.
He’s kind of used to it. Every time he traverses space, he feels a bit dazed.
Yet, in the midst of his foggy mind, he seems to have thought of a question...
The Cultivation World mentions being connected to thousands of small worlds, of which this Demon Realm is one...
But what about Earth?!
Is Earth also one of those worlds in the All Realm?!
Perhaps even...
The things the system has always mentioned swapping from various small worlds, are they all a channel?!
The so-called searching for items is essentially traversing various small worlds and acquiring those items?!
Is that the logic behind it?!
He even thought of something, the system has said there isn’t just one system, there are many, existing as a species similar to life forms.
Does that mean there is actually a controller behind these systems?!
Or perhaps a leader or something similar?!
Are they themselves a race?!
Or are they created by someone or some organization and then distributed?!
If his guess is correct, then why has he been in the Cultivation World for so long without discovering other system hosts?!
Is it sheer bad luck or is it that they meet without knowing each other?!
There’s even a possibility that those system owners are being gathered?!
After all, the system has said that they generally do well by making hosts unknowingly obey them.
If this goes on long enough, as long as the system issues a task, directing them to a certain place, the hosts probably won’t resist!
Plus, there’s the so-called system origin, the system origin has a will, at least his does have some sort of will.
So why is there an origin when there is already a system?!
Is that the control over the system?!
Also, why did he cross from Earth to Water Blue Star?
Why did the system just appropriately descend on him?!
Was everything an accident?!
Or is there someone controlling all this?!
All these bewildering thoughts are whirling around in Lu Xiaobu’s dizzy mind, lingering with no signs of dissipating!
Once his consciousness recovered, Lu Xiaobu immediately asked the system.
However, he was met with silence.
It was not intentional silence, but a kind of bewilderment.
Lu Xiaobu has never felt this kind of bewilderment from the almost omniscient system.
"I don’t know..." the system said in confusion: "About these, I have no memory, it’s a complete blank! Truly a complete blank! Not a shred left..."
His explanation was somewhat muddled, but Lu Xiaobu seemed to have understood.
Someone has truly, or perhaps not necessarily a person, controlled the system and completely eliminated this part of the information!
It seems his hypothesis is highly likely to be correct.
"What about the system origin? Call it out, I want to ask!" Lu Xiaobu’s face darkened.
His favorite thing is freedom, and he utterly despises being shackled.
As a result, now he suddenly discovers that everything about him, even his existence, is invisibly controlled by someone, how could he possibly be happy?!
"I can’t find it..." the system smiled bitterly.
His host has lost his temper again!
But, he truly can’t find it!
Lu Xiaobu didn’t waste words, with his Intelligence Attribute maxed out, Forced Calmness activated, he looked at the system!
Nothing!
Couldn’t find it!
No trace of it!
Almost as if the so-called system origin never existed at all!
"Damn it!"
Lu Xiaobu’s face turned ominous!
Then, he looked at the system: "If someone is truly controlling all this from behind, do you listen to me, or listen to them?"
The system heard a trace of coldness in Lu Xiaobu’s voice!
He knows, this host who never plays by the rules, is truly angry!
If he fails to satisfy this host, the host will absolutely make every possible effort to completely destroy him!
If anyone else says they’re going to destroy their system, he wouldn’t believe it!
But with this host, he does believe, sincerely and unwaveringly!
"Host, don’t you know me yet?! When have I ever dared to argue with you?! You told me to go east, when have I ever gone west? You told me to drive away chickens, when have I ever kicked dogs?!"
The system hurriedly expressed its loyalty: "Really, think about it, when have I ever ordered you to do anything? Even my assets, aren’t they given to me by you as rewards?!"
Speaking of this, the system was filled with snot and tears!
This system is a disgrace! Quite disgraceful!
All of his assets are given by this host who turns a blind eye and deliberately lets him reap benefits, or simply rewards him directly!
"That does make sense..."
Lu Xiaobu’s face softened considerably: "In that case, you stay inside the Knight robot from now on, at least you’ll have a body, I’ll try to enhance it further."
"Alright! As you say!" The system quickly nodded.
He didn’t expect that the decision to enter the Knight robot as the operating system, made on a whim, has now become a buffer for their relationship!
Without this buffer.
He might be destroyed, at the very least imprisoned somewhere!
After all, under these circumstances, it’s impossible to keep him inside the body!
With the system preparing to settle inside the Knight robot, this topic temporarily came to an end.
In fact, Lu Xiaobu had more to say...
He’s planning to study the system!
At one time, he could see the system origin, even forcefully modify some rules, indicating that those existences behind it don’t have absolute control over the system.
Since that’s the case, he might just be able to truly gain control over the existence of the system!
Of course, that’s for later, Lu Xiaobu’s immediate priority is to go home.
He straightened his clothes, randomly picked a direction and walked on the sea.
He didn’t choose to directly fly since being caught by radar or something might stir up trouble.
Soon, he encountered land, and went ashore. He found a clothing store to change his outfit and also checked where he was.
Ahem, after all, he’s a bit direction-challenged and really can’t tell which way leads home!
Finally discovered, oh, he’s here in Australia, not too far.
Well, actually, given his current speed, everywhere isn’t far.
Changing into modern standard equipment, modern clothing, mobile phone, cigarettes, lighter, running shoes, etc., which are in local style, but he’s finally much more comfortable.
After eating a meal of "junk food" he hadn’t had in a long time, Lu Xiaobu finally showed a satisfied smile!
"Alright! Time to head home!"
Lu Xiaobu held his phone and turned on navigation, choosing walking navigation...
"Your walking distance is too long, unable to provide navigation." The navigation issued an ignorant prompt!
