If they’re not careful, they’re probably going to end up screwing their host over.
As the richest, most powerful, most handsome, and most intelligent great system amongst all the rest within the Cosmic Soul Energy Collection, Jin Shan felt that it would only take a matter of minutes for him to take out that foolish system opposite him.
However, to his surprise, neither his Spiritual Intimidation, Spiritual Shock, nor Money Illusion managed to cause much damage to the other system. In fact, the other system seemed to be quite familiar with such high-level attacks, and could even counterattack between dodging. He didn’t show any weakness at all.
The great Jin Shan was furious. He gave a cold laugh, and simply bought a high-energy disintegration cannon from the system shop. He lifted and placed it on his shoulders, and planned to send that foolish system to heaven with one shot.
The moment the high-energy disintegration cannon appeared, he finally saw a reaction on his opponent’s face. Who cared if the other system’s spiritual body was half a head taller and cooler looking, because right now, the foolish system was torn between shock and confusion. The other system soon made his move , and a semi-transparent shield quickly appeared in front of him, indicating that the other system was planning to take him on head to head.
But the great Jin Shan almost laughed his head off when he saw that shield.
As he prepared to fire his cannon, he mocked that foolish system:
[You have the gall to bring out such a lousy energy shield with a price tag of a thousand?There’s no need to thank me, just remember to be a smarter system with some discretion in your next life!]
Saying that, the cannon on Jin Shan’s shoulder fired out an invisible energy wave, directly in Ying Sheng’s direction.
Ying Sheng stared at the wave that could inflict heavy injury on him or even dissipate him on the spot, but he didn’t show any fear. His gaze sharpened as he changed his posture to one that was about to make a punch. The moment when the energy shield in front of him was dissipated by the energy wave, his right fist punched out like a swift wind, bringing with it an invisible and terrifying force!
The moment these two forces collided, it felt as if even the air surrounding them had been shattered by the impact.
The great Jin Shan, who had already prepared his victory speech: [……]
This. Is. Not. System-tific!!
How could there be a system that could fight against high-energy decomposition cannon with his bare hands!! Is this guy even a normal fucking system?!
Ying Sheng showed an extremely complicated expression after he had gotten rid of the imminent danger. He looked at the other guy who was carrying the high-energy decomposition cannon and did some math in his head–
One high-energy decomposition cannon was worth a hundred thousand points, which was about the equivalent to the points an ordinary system would earn after around a hundred successful rescuing missions. This system in front of him had just bought it without batting an eye??? Was this still a normal system??

At the same time, both Jin Shan and Ying Sheng looked down and saw how their pitiful little host was bleeding from his eyes, nose, and ears. Together with his extremely thin body, and the swollen face after being ganged up on by his classmates, he really couldn’t look any worse.
Jin Shan: [……]
Ying Sheng: [……]
If they’re not careful, they’re probably going to end up screwing their host over.
Just when they were about to save enough soul energy to start a comfortable and indulgent life again.
Oh. Fuck. This.
Jin Shan and Ying Sheng exchanged a quick glance, and saw ‘temporary reconciliation’ in each other’s eyes.
Although it wasn’t that great to have one’s chosen host taken away from you, if this host ended up dead because of their fight, then the consequences would be a hundred times worse than failing a mission. At such a crucial time, they definitely couldn’t let something as horrible as this happen.
The two systems’ spiritual bodies floated in front of the absolutely terrible-looking Wu You.
With just a look, Jin Shan clicked his tongue. [Anemia, overexertion, excessive worrying, mild depression, plus minor physical injuries and mental shock. In this low-temperature environment, if we don’t get him to the hospital within half an hour, he’s going to die.]
Ying Sheng looked at Jin Shan with some surprise, did this guy know medicine? Was he a doctor before this?
[Although I can carry him back with my spiritual body, ordinary people can’t see us. If I carry him, it’ll look like he was floating in mid-air. Then he won’t be a jinx, but the one being jinxed.]
After saying that, Ying Sheng continued to critically evaluate him: [His physical body is too weak, and it doesn’t look like he exercised a single day in his life. In a more hostile world, he won’t survive for more than three days. Or perhaps he might be able to struggle on for a while, and if he does, he’ll be able to unleash his potential for resisting cold and injuries.]
Jin Shan listened to this and didn’t feel all that great.
[He’s already in this state, and you still want him to struggle on?] This other system spoke with such a tone of voice, that held no regard for the host’s life, and was only interested in becoming stronger and more powerful, suddenly reminded Jin Shan of a not-so-good rumor that he had heard spreading amongst the Systems.
[Tsk, move aside. Let me handle this.]
Jin Shan pushed Ying Sheng to the side and then bought a tube of nutritional potion from his system store.
Ying Sheng stood by and watched as that spiritual body dripped the nutritional potion worth ten thousand points into Wu You’s mouth. He also thought about a not-so-good rumour that he had heard from his subordinates that was spreading throughout the systems.
After administering the nutritional potion, Jin Shan recorded the 11,000 points his host owed to him in his ledger.
Ying Sheng watched from the side, his eyelids twitching.
“…… Hm?” The effect of the nutrition potion was extraordinary, and Wu You soon woke up.
As he woke up, he immediately felt a severe headache. He instinctively shook his head to try to ease the pain, but when he looked up, he saw what was in front of him; two semi-translucent…… people?!
In that moment, Wu You’s hair stood on its ends.
Jin Shan didn’t wait for Wu You to say anything, before he immediately revealed an elegant and gentle smile on his face. There wasn’t a trace of any of the arrogance he possessed while facing Ying Sheng earlier.
[Hello Little Wu, I am Mr. Jin, a system. Your future self entrusted me with the mission of ensuring your happiness. I am neither a demon nor a devil, and hold no ill intentions towards you. You don’t need to be so guarded against me. Right now, your physical condition is in a poor state, so I suggest you return home as soon as possible. On the way, I will answer any questions you want to know.]
Wu You made a sound of exclamation, and was still feeling a little dazed. Perhaps Jin Shan’s smile had a calming effect? After staring at Jin Shan for a while, Wu You nodded obediently and stood up to head home.
The great Ying Sheng stood beside them with an expressionless face, but was incredibly shocked.
He had never encountered such an obedient host before!
Every time he tried to have a civil conversation with his host, they would scream, shout and refuse to believe him. In the end, he had to prove his strength and beat them up before they stopped acting out. If he wasn’t so powerful, he would have failed many different missions in all the words because of his disobedient hosts.
So, this system next to him was really the one in the rumour, right? The one who would deceive his host, and make them work their ass off.
On his way home, Wu You started to ask Jin Shan about the two systems’ identites.
Jin Shan smiled patiently and answered Wu You’s questions the whole way through, and soon helped Wu You understand the reason “systems” like them existed.
Wu You sneezed and felt amazed and this was quite surreal at the same time.
“So, it was my future self who found you, and sent you back to help me?”
“But that’s impossible, are you able to reverse the flow of time?”
Jin Shan smiled and shook his head: [No, we can’t reverse time. We simply used more advanced technology and methods to receive a strong telepathic message from your future self. Then, we made a deal with him, and specifically came here to help you.]
Wu You seemed to understand what Jin Shan meant. He walked in silence for a while before suddenly asking, “A strong telepathic message. So, future me is having a bad time? Did I… really become a murderer?”
Jin Shan’s smile remained the same.
[Whether you have a good future or not depends on yourself. As for whether you become a murderer, it also depends on yourself. Do you think you will become a murderer?]
Thirteen-year-old Wu You pursed his lips and shook his head firmly, “No.” I hate murderers, and I will never become one.
Jin Shan nodded with a faint smile on his lips.
An unnoticeable trace of pity flashed across his eyes: [I think so too. However, you have a difficult road ahead of you. Since I made a deal with your future self, then accept my help. While I cannot directly provide you with money, wisdom, or power, but you can still attain them through your own efforts.”
[Right now, the most important thing now is to take care of your own body. Your health is the most important thing. Right now, your body is too weak, so let’s start with a task.]
[First, let’s set a small goal of picking up 100 plastic bottles and earning six yuan. I will reward you with six system points for completing this task. With that six dollars, you can buy yourself a chicken leg, and with that six points, you can exchange for a carton of milk in my system store. Then, you’ll have enough nutrition to grow taller.]
Wu You, “Ah?”
“Oh, okay!” Although this task was a bit strange, and he didn’t know why he was suddenly about to start a task, earning six yuan and a carton of milk as a reward was a pretty good deal! He didn’t have to pay any terrible price, like his soul, blood, or do something bad. All he had to do was pick up bottles.
Wu You used his brain to think back and forth about Jin Shan’s words and the task. Finally, he felt that he could trust Mr. Jin; he was a good person!
At this moment, the great Ying Sheng, who Wu You had been overlooking the whole time, suddenly spoke up: [A carton of milk in the system mall only costs five points, but he asked for one extra point.]
Ying Sheng: [You can choose to do my task. All you just need to do is do 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and 100 sit-ups in one hour, and I’ll give you a carton of milk.]
Wu You, who had just thought that Mr. Jin was a good person, said “……?” Why did the task style suddenly change, and also, he had actually been overlooking this semi-transparent person standing next to him the whole time!
Jin Shan: [……] MF!
Jin Shan: [Har Har, don’t compare that crappy store of yours to my premium VIP store. Everything in my store is of high quality.]
[Also, use your brain. With Little Wu’s current physical condition, could he even do that much physical activities in an hour?]
Ying Sheng didn’t back down: [I don’t think his body can support him to pick up 100 plastic bottles in this freezing weather either. It’s better to do exercise at home.]
Jinshan and Ying Sheng turned their heads and looked at each other, their hearts in sync.
Trashy system, stealing my host, stealing my mission, I’ll end you!!
