Thank you Sarah for the coffee treat! 
A chapter will be released early for each coffee treated as a thank you gift. Thank you everyone for the support and comments!
Mo Yi didn’t think much of it and agreed casually. If he wanted to see it, then why not? However, he found it odd that this person addressed him as “brother,” unsure of the connection with the original host.
However, the time Luo Naimei spent examining the stone seemed too long.
“Wow, it’s really a black crystal! This is amazing! If I had a black crystal, I’m sure I could level up, and those people wouldn’t treat me like trash anymore,” said Luo Naimei pitifully. His companion, the muscular man named Zhuang Lute, quickly reassured him, “Don’t say that, Luo Naimei. You’re not trash. You’re great, it’s just those people who don’t understand you!”
“Thank you for comforting me, Zhuang Lute. You’re so thoughtful,” replied Luo Naimei, his cheeks slightly flushed as he looked at Zhuang Lute with affection.
Mo Yi remained expressionless, silently clicking his tongue twice. This guy was clearly putting on an act!
Mo Yi was still adjusting to the new world, so he wasn’t paying much attention to the conversation with the two strangers he had just met.
However, ever since Luo Naimei got his hands on the so-called “black crystal,” he had been examining it incessantly, unwilling to let go. At first, Mo Yi was puzzled, but now it seemed ridiculous that a simple stone had caused this short guy so much excitement.
Clearly, he’s not just interested in looking; he clearly wants it.
Haha, the more you want it, the less I’ll give it to you!
Mo Yi wasn’t someone who cared about saving face. He raised an eyebrow and reached out, saying, “Have you finished looking?”
“Finished…” replied Luo Naimei reluctantly, feeling surprised that Mo Yi had directly asked him for it. Since Mo Yi had spoken, he couldn’t refuse, so he dragged his feet a bit and looked at Mo Yi with a pitiful expression.
On the other hand, the muscular Zhuang Lute, seeming unable to bear seeing Luo Naimei’s distress, frowned and stared at Mo Yi, saying, “Mo Yi, Luo Naimei really wants the black crystal. Since he needs it, can’t you just give it to him?”
Haha, what a bandit-like statement—just because he wants it, you’ll give it to him? Then why don’t you give me all your belongings?
However, considering his lack of knowledge about the current situation, Mo Yi simply replied, “Then why don’t you give it to him?”
“I… I haven’t found it,” admitted Zhuang Lute, feeling frustrated. “But if I find it, I’ll definitely give it to Luo Naimei. Mo Yi, aren’t you usually like this? During the previous mission, even though you completed it, you still gave up the credit!”

Well, the original host was indeed a pushover!

After saying that, Mo Yi didn’t wait for their reaction and quickly disappeared into the forest.
Zhuang Lute’s face turned red with embarrassment, while Luo Naimei tried to maintain his composure outwardly but was seething with anger inside.
He couldn’t understand why that idiot suddenly became difficult to deal with today. He wasn’t like this in the past.
“System, system, come out quickly! Didn’t you say that Mo Yi had a high level of affection for me and would completely obey me? Why isn’t he listening to me now?” Luo Naimei called out desperately in his mind. After a while, a mechanical voice rang out in his head, saying, “System maintenance in progress. Please wait…”
On the other side, Mo Yi kept running until he reached a deserted lakeside before stopping. After carefully observing his surroundings and listening for any noise, he confirmed that no one was following him.
“Phew, finally shook them off!”
Mo Yi smirked, annoyed at encountering annoying people right from the start. Nevertheless, if he got something good out of it, it was a break-even situation.
“006, transmit the plot of the small world to me!” Mo Yi said to the system.
However, this time, the little dog in his mind didn’t respond for a long time. After a while, 006 appeared again, looking somewhat anxious as it said, “Host, there’s a problem. The system can’t detect the plot of the small world!”
“What? How is that possible?” Mo Yi exclaimed in surprise. It was the first time he encountered such a situation where the system couldn’t locate the plot of the small world.
“Host, the system just discovered a major flaw in this small world. It seems that an unauthorized system has infiltrated, causing significant distortion. Therefore, our connection with the world’s principles has been lost, and naturally, we can’t extract the plot of the world.
Although there are open-ended worlds, this one is definitely not one of them!” 006 explained earnestly to Mo Yi.
“An unauthorized system?” Mo Yi tilted his head in confusion.
“Yes, an unauthorized system. All our legitimate systems are incubated by the Dimensional Management Bureau, but unauthorized systems are not.
Unauthorized systems can generally be divided into two types. One is the disguised system, which means it’s not a genuine system but rather a parasite in the small world. It pretends to be a system and attaches itself to hosts to absorb the world’s luck and energy, thus strengthening itself.
The other type is artificially created. After absorbing energy, such systems return to their creators to provide them with energy.
Both types have the same goal: to indiscriminately seize luck and energy, and they might even end up draining their hosts completely.”
“I’ve never heard of such a thing,” Mo Yi said, surprised by the revelation.
“So, are we supposed to live in a world where we know nothing? It feels like stumbling around in the dark!” Most importantly, where can I find my partner?
Mo Yi was extremely anxious, and 006 could understand his feelings. It could only offer some reassurance, saying, “Host, I will try my best to establish contact. At least for now, we still have the memories of the original host, which can provide some information. If we encounter the unauthorized system and resolve it, it should greatly help in restoring the small world. Perhaps then we’ll be able to grasp the plot. However, we don’t know the extent to which that system has grown by now!”
Mo Yi nodded in response. He knew that this was beyond 006’s control. After searching through the memories of the original host, Mo Yi finally understood his identity in this world.
It turned out to be a futuristic interstellar dimension, but surprisingly, it was also a world of beastmen. Different types and races of beastmen lived here, and with the high development of technology, they had their own civilization.
The original host had been an orphan all his life, raised in an orphanage. However, his childhood wasn’t miserable; the orphanage matron treated them well, and he had many friends.
As he grew older, the original host aspired to join the military, so he enrolled in a military academy. There, he made many new friends and classmates.
After graduating, they went to the battlefield together, facing life and death. Despite the dangers, the original host found this life fulfilling and honorable as he protected the Beastman Empire.
He rose through the ranks due to his military achievements, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and achieving considerable success.
Unfortunately, not long after, the original host would die in battle. He could sense that their deaths were not straightforward; it seemed like their battle plans had been leaked in advance, leading to the deaths of him and many comrades.
Therefore, the original host wished to exchange identities, hoping to change fate and save his comrades.
Mo Yi found the original host’s wish understandable and carefully reviewed his memories. He realized that the original host’s life had been relatively simple until a person named Luo Naimei appeared, bringing about changes. And that person, named Luo Naimei, was the small man with brown hair who had tried to ask him for things.
Luo Naimei and the original host had known each other for a long time. In the memories of the original host, Luo Naimei was a shy and introverted younger brother from the orphanage.
In the original host’s impression, Luo Naimei seemed fragile. It was surprising that he also joined the military. Due to their past friendship, the original host took great care of him and even introduced him to his friends.
However, after that, strange things began to happen.
Soon, Luo Naimei gained the favor of almost everyone around him. It seemed effortless for him to attract others, and he had countless admirers.
Only one friend named Benedict didn’t like Luo Naimei. He came to the original host, expressing concerns about Luo Naimei’s behavior, but the original host didn’t take it seriously.
These incidents weren’t the main concern.
The key issue was that after Luo Naimei appeared, the original host almost never received a promotion again.
His battlefield achievements and completed missions, for some reason, whether voluntarily or opportunistically, always ended up being attributed to Luo Naimei’s credit.
It wasn’t just the original host; even those admirers seemed willingly to contribute to Luo Naimei’s success.
Of course, the original host was different from those people. He always regarded Luo Naimei as a younger brother. After all, he grew up in an orphanage and yearned for familial affection from a young age. Luo Naimei’s arrival seemed to fulfill this need.
“But even with such charm, it’s hard to believe that everyone he meets ends up being overshadowed by him!” Mo Yi rubbed his chin, feeling that this person was rather peculiar and should be approached with caution.
This time, the original host was assigned to a mission on a planet, and coincidentally, Luo Naimei was also in his team.
As Mo Yi pondered on what to do next, he heard a gurgling sound coming from the lake nearby. Turning his head, he saw bubbles emerging one after another from the calm surface of the lake. Moreover, the bubbles were continuously moving towards the shore.
“What’s going on?” Mo Yi approached curiously, placing his hand on the dagger at his waist.
But as he got closer, he caught a familiar scent, like that from the depths of the sea, surrounding his soul. Wasn’t it the scent of his partner?
Thinking of this, Mo Yi felt joy in his heart and hurriedly ran towards the bubbling spot on the lake. Just as he approached, he felt his lower leg being hooked by something.
Mo Yi reached down and saw a fist-sized, round-headed gray octopus. It had small fleshy wings on its back. Even after being pulled away from Mo Yi’s leg, it seemed persistent, waving its tentacles chaotically, trying to hook onto his arm.
A pair of shiny black eyes were staring at him, seemingly filled with grievances.
“Squee QAQ!”
Little Octopus: Squee squee squee squee squee, squee! (Wants a hug, wants a kiss, wants to sleep together!)
