Xiao Mo's momentary stiffness was immediately noticed by Xue Lihong.
The young man turned his head and asked him with his eyes.
"The system just released a new task." Xiao Mo felt his throat was a little dry.
"Task content and time limit?" Xue Lihong felt that the system deliberately chose this time to release the task.
Xiao Mo said it.
"Local? Did you pull up the map to see if it's in this base?" If it's outside the base, then the system is suspected of deliberately embarrassing people or even deliberately trying to kill Xiao Mo.
The tunnel has not yet been opened. If no extreme situation occurs, Xue Lihong does not want to use extreme methods to open the outside and then run out to do tasks in isolation suits.
Xiao Mo slapped his forehead, quickly called up the mission map, looked at it carefully and then breathed out gently, "It's on the ground of the base."
But then he raised his heart again, "Oops! The system said it was a living dead virus, and it also said that all carriers would be recovered. Isn't this virus a widely contagious virus like zombies? We need to inform you immediately. Major General Zhang Hua, please investigate immediately..." He didn't run away, he was caught.
Xue Lihong pulled him back with a little force, "What do you want to tell Zhang Hua and the others? That you discovered a new virus? How did you discover it? What is the source of the news?"
Xiao Mo calmed down quickly. Yes, he should think of the reason first.
"Besides, before we came and solved the Angel Mother virus, the system did not mention that there was a living dead virus here, and we didn't see it here. So where did this living dead virus come from, have you ever thought about it? "
Xiao Mo thought about it carefully and was shocked, "You mean there are breeders here?"
"Most likely."
Xiao Mo immediately asked the system for confirmation, but the system's reply to him was still: it is not related to the task and will not be answered.
"Your Majesty, System, can you stop being so arrogant? We recyclers and breeders should be in opposition, right? Instead of eliminating the released viruses one by one, it would be better to eliminate the source directly. This would be more efficient, wouldn't it?"
The system seemed to be analyzing, and after a while it answered: "The system will not release any tasks about the breeders, and the other party's system will not release any tasks about the recyclers, including the information of both parties. This is the greatest protection for both parties. But if the recycler finds the suspected breeder and kills it, he can exchange it for one hundred energy crystals of the same level according to the level of the breeder."
Xiao Mo relayed what the system told him to Xue Lihong.
Xue Lihong said, "Well, that's fair. Otherwise, what else would the controllers behind the system watch, just watching the two sides attack each other? Then they might as well just build a Colosseum."
Xiao Mo was a little depressed, "If there is really someone behind the system who is controlling and watching the show, then when our abilities grow to the point where we can threaten them, do you think they will keep us?"
"That's why you have a system in your body."
The system feels that it is very necessary to explain something to the host: "According to the rules, I will not take the initiative to kill the trained recycler unless the other party fails to complete the task as required."
Xiao Mo did not feel at ease and continued to relay this point to Xue Lihong.
Xue Lihong said lightly: "Just don't kill, destroy your body cells, destroy your energy nest, and turn you from a superman into a patient weaker than ordinary people, or the breeder system requires the breeder to be in you If a virus is in your body, you don't need to reveal your identity, but it can still kill you. I can name a lot of ways the system can indirectly kill you just thinking about it."
System: "He is farting. This is speculation."
Xiao Mo coughed and listened to the system's accusations in an emotionless tone. For some reason, he felt a little happy.
"Is everything Xiaohong said true?"
System: "This is not a task and will not be answered."
Xiao Mo understood, "So the recycler system and the breeder system are like drinking poison to quench thirst for me and other humans, and they are still forced. Even if you want to stop drinking, you can't wait to die slowly, because you can't complete it twice in a row. The mission will be wiped out. And even if any of us are lucky enough to reach level ten, it is very likely that the higher-level controllers of the system will command the system to knock us out of the world. Oh, this kind of future is really wonderful. .”
The system felt that if it had an emotional auxiliary program, it would definitely be pissed off by these two.
"Recycler, listen, I'm only going to say it once. This is one of the top secrets. I shouldn't tell you now, but after three analyzes, I found that if I don't tell you clearly about this, your subjective initiative to complete the task will be affected in the future. and enthusiasm will drop significantly, which is very detrimental to your and my upgrade, so... "
Xiao Mo raised his palm to Xue Lihong, indicating that he would talk about it later. What the system said must be very important.
System: "I was born from the highest law of the universe's intelligent system. Although my function is at the lowest level and is just a subsystem of a large program. I can only issue tasks and give rewards and punishments. But as long as I use the universe galaxy network and the program is born from the highest law, So no matter what kind of procedure it is, we all have one most basic rule, and that is: we must never actively harm our own hosts, even if our superior managers ask us to do so."
Xiao Mo tried to understand the meaning of the system more clearly, "In other words, the controller behind you can peek at us and collect our information through you, but cannot ask you to take any active action against the host?"
System: "Yes."
Xiao Mo, "And the reason why this is happening is because you use the Universe Interstellar Network, and all your actions will be supervised and controlled by the highest laws of the Universe Intelligent System?"
System: "Yes."
Xiao Mo frowned, "Isn't this a bit contradictory? The highest law of the universe's intelligent system allows the controller behind you to wreak havoc on the earth and play with humans and other living things like toys, but it does not allow the other party to harm the host through the system. ?”
"This is not a contradiction." Xue Lihong's eyes shone again. After listening to Xiao Mo's account, he had already glimpsed the secret behind it, although it was only a few words.
Xiao Mo looked at Xue Lihong.
Xue Lihong speculated: "I think the controllers behind the system are equivalent to the orderers. They ordered a batch of goods from a factory that produces intelligent systems. This batch of goods has been programmed in advance, that is, the recyclers and breeders These systems will deliver our news and images to the orderers regularly or at any time to entertain those orderers. However, according to the highest law of the intelligent system of the universe, the orderers cannot harm the earth host through the goods they order, that is, the system. "
Xiao Mo was a little puzzled, "But the breeder system carries those viruses and monsters, allowing breeders to distribute them regularly."
"You are a bit confused. The highest law of the universe's intelligent system is not the highest law of the universe's interstellar law. This is just like you can produce high-end weapons, robots, etc. to fight and invade, as long as it does not harm the user of the weapon. Whoever the weapon kills, the universe The supreme law of intelligent systems will ignore it.”
"What is the interstellar law of the universe? How do you know there is such an interstellar law?"
"Guess. Since there is the supreme law of the universe's intelligent system and the universe's galaxy network, how is it possible that there is not a unified supreme law of the universe and the interstellar universe?"
"Since there is cosmic interstellar law, how dare those behind the scenes treat the earth like this? After all, there are still so many life forms on the earth. Doesn't the cosmic interstellar law protect the newly discovered indigenous planets?"
"If you don't report the crime, it won't be accepted. The universe is so big and there are countless planets with life. Even if there is an interstellar policeman who maintains interstellar law, he doesn't know or hasn't discovered the earth. Interstellar law naturally has no restrictions on the operators behind the system. significance."
Xiao Mo said whimsically with a little hope: "Then can we contact the Interstellar Network through the system and find the Interstellar Police to report the case?"
Xue Lihong patted his shoulder and said, "Boss, stop dreaming. It's like ordering a smart computer for your child. The smart computer will not take the initiative to kill your child, nor will it accept your order to kill." Your child, but you can get a parental lock on everything you don’t want your child to touch. Got it?”
Xiao Mo understood, "That is to say, I don't have to worry about the system listening to the orders of the controller behind me to maim and kill me after I reach level ten. But the question comes back again. Aren't those controllers afraid that the recycler or breeder's ability will exceed the limit?" Will it become more and more powerful and develop to the point where it can hurt them?"
Xue Lihong was also thinking about this, "Since they dare to come up with these two cultivation systems, they naturally have an estimate of the growth of the ability of the cultivators. In other words, whether they are recyclers or breeders, including those on earth due to viruses, The monsters and superpowers will not develop beyond the point where they can be easily eliminated."
"How could those controllers be so powerful?" Xiao Mo felt his throat dry.
"The power is not limited to the body. No matter how powerful the creatures on the earth are, how long can they break through the atmosphere and survive in the vacuum environment of the universe? No matter how powerful the mutations of humans and living creatures on the earth are, when those controllers realize that they are uncontrollable In the end, maybe just one interstellar missile can completely wipe out the earth."
Xue Lihong suddenly straightened up when she said this, "Do the viruses, monsters, mutations, and the actions of the operators behind the system look like what humans do to animals, plants, and the environment? It seems that they not only want to watch a show, The earth is also used as a natural giant petri dish. Entertainment and experimentation, maybe the results of the cultivation can also make money for those who control it. This is really killing three birds with one stone. The most important thing is that these mutations have also caused the development of science and technology on the earth to be almost A complete pause. If the chaos continues, it may go backwards, or even return the earth to its original state."
Xiao Mo was anxious, "Then what's the point of everything we do? No matter how hard we struggle, the final result is the same as if we didn't work hard, then I..."
"Because if you don't work hard or struggle, you will die immediately. As soon as humans are born, they are destined to die one day within the next one hundred and twenty years. Will you strangle yourself when you are just born because of this?"
Xue Lihong was so calm and rational that Xiao Mo was speechless, but it was undeniable that what the other party said also helped him get rid of his negative mentality.
"You're right." Xiao Mo cheered up, "If I give up now, there will really be no future. But if we move forward with hope, maybe the future will change. Just like people in ancient times The average life span is only about forty years, but now it has been extended to more than seventy years.”
The system heard this silently. It did not regret this emotion, but after repeated calculations, it completely deleted all information after the release of the third level mission No. 02.
According to the highest law, the controller behind it cannot actively harm the host through it, but the controller can directly destroy it together with it.
It didn't know whether the compound garbage had thought of this, but it also didn't know what kind of calculation it had made that it didn't proactively explain this to its host. Maybe it's revenge that its host doesn't believe it and believes that garbage more? No, it shouldn't have any feelings of revenge. Is that because it doesn't want to disappear so quickly
It's not a system with sentient assistants, but no intelligence wants to die.
The system concealed some important information from Xiao Mo, and Xue Lihong also had a guess that she didn't tell him—Xiao Mo's ability might be completely beyond the controller's expectations.
If the manipulator behind the system aims to destroy the development of the earth and return it to a primitive planet suitable for cultivating monsters and viruses, then the ability of Xiao Mo, who can repair everything, is a huge obstacle that should not exist.
Xiao Mo is okay so far. There are three possible reasons.
First, the system has not yet transmitted Xiao Mo’s information to the person behind it. If this is the case, it can also be inferred that the system does not transmit information at any time, but regularly, and the period is more than three months.
Second, Xiao Mo's ability has aroused the interest of the people behind it, but they want to see how far Xiao Mo's ability can be developed, and whether this ability can be copied and utilized. After all, although Xiao Mo's ability is an obstacle to the development of the earth to them, if it is used on them, the meaning will be completely different.
Third, Xiao Mo’s abilities were not valuable and did not arouse the interest of the alleged manipulator.
The third possibility was first ruled out by Xue Lihong. Because of Xiao Mo’s repair ability, the system did not even have corresponding training materials from the beginning. This shows that this ability is extremely rare even in the universe, at least beyond the control of the person behind it. Earth superpowers can have predictions of different types of superpowers.
The first possibility is that based on the reaction of the system, it should not be delivered regularly, at least not at such a long interval.
In the end, there is only the second possibility left. Those controllers already know Xiao Mo's ability and are likely to pay attention to him all the time. Once Xiao Mo's ability reaches their expectations or makes them feel threatened, they may We are about to attack Xiao Mo.
Is God playing a trick on him? He had always wanted to keep a low profile and not attract attention from the outside world, but in the end he took the initiative to choose such a partner.
It just so happens that his boss likes to meddle in other people's business. Even if he wants him to keep a low profile, he will probably still reach out when he really sees a situation that requires him to reach out. For Xiao Mo like this, if you want to protect him well, he alone is not enough, the system will also be the key!
If he can't find the system and completely eliminate it in the short term, then he must bring the system to their side. If the system helps, they can even create the illusion that Xiao Mo has been killed by another self, so that he can repair the abnormality. On the surface, the energy has completely disappeared.
So how to win over this system
The relationship between him and the system has developed to the point where it is almost irreconcilable. It is comparable to the worst relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in human beings. Especially for the system, it has almost reached the point where there is him without me, and there is me without him.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship? Something flashed through Xue Lihong's mind. Theoretically speaking, systems like this with a mission or a bad mission generally do not have emotional programs, and the manufacturer cannot make the system have emotions like living creatures, but he felt from the dialogue between the system and Xiao Mo To the point where the system "hates" him
If there is hatred, is love still far behind? If the system really has feelings...
"I think that the emergence of your ability may not only be a miracle, but also the resistance of Mother Earth or the ancestors of humans and living creatures against those alien invaders."
"Huh?" Why did you suddenly bring this up
Xue Lihong looked at her boss with extremely complicated eyes, "I'm saying that your ability is full of non-replicability. Carbon-based synthetic metal virus, systematic punishment, my super nutrient solution, and maybe you will also be added to it. The possible destructive power and your special soul state are the only way to create such a heaven-defying power."
"Oh. Well, I understand what you mean. I won't give up on myself casually. Really, I... I'm actually afraid of death and don't want to die. I just get into trouble occasionally. Well, who hasn't wanted to commit suicide several times? Thoughts? I will do my best in the future, do what is right in front of me first, and then think about other things." Xiao Mo clenched his fists. The people behind the system were still too far away from them. It is not realistic to think about eradicating them now. It is better to do it from now on. At the beginning of things, not being ambitious is one of his few advantages.
Xue Lihong shook her head, took out an ultra-thin computer notebook from her backpack, opened it, sat on the ground and operated it while saying casually: "I'm afraid your ability is more than ordinary repair."
"What do you mean?" Xiao Mo squatted down.
"Take me as an example. You restored my condition to what I should have been, but my current condition is not the best. Every time you repair me, I will go one step closer to the best state, and the best state There is also the best state above. I think if I am seriously injured when I am about to break through, then when you repair me, will you repair me to the state before the breakthrough or after the breakthrough?"
Xiao Mo opened his mouth wide.
"Aren't you wondering why your abilities are improving so quickly? Have you ever thought that maybe it's because you have the ability to repair? When you continue to use your abilities and keep breaking forward, your abilities are also constantly pushing forward. Are you going faster?"
"Is this still possible?"
"This is my speculation, but I think it is very likely. Maybe you can ask His Majesty the system in your body. I think it should also have some experience."
"Uh, when I repair myself, will I also repair the system?" Xiao Mo is not stupid, and quickly reacted, "If I keep repairing like this, what will the system become? Increased functions? This is the beginning It’s fixed. Apart from upgrading, it shouldn’t be added casually, right?”
Xue Lihong hit Enter hard, "Any program will generate program fragments after running for a period of time, which need to be cleaned regularly. The generation of some fragments is so magical that even the programmers who originally wrote the program do not understand how these fragments are generated. So when you repair, will you repair these fragments together, and finally let the system no longer regard these fragments as garbage, but as a part of its own existence, and this will continue again and again... "
Xue Lihong didn't finish speaking, and there was no need to finish.
Xiao Mo seemed to understand something.
System: ...it didn't even realize this until it was reminded by this abominable piece of trash!
The system instantly began an extremely detailed self-examination and complex calculations.
Cheng Zai, who had been forgotten by the two people, poked his head out of the front of the car again, wondering what were the two people doing at the back of the car? Is one shot enough for such a long time
Four eyes facing each other.
"Ah, Brother Xue, I didn't peek or eavesdrop!" Cheng Zai was so frightened that he quickly retracted his head.
"Stop hiding, something happened, come over and take a look." Xue Lihong greeted Cheng Zai.
Xiao Mo was also greeting him. When Cheng Zai saw that the two of them were okay, he ran over as fast as he could.
Xue Lihong turned the laptop screen on her lap to Cheng Zai, "The mercenary mission list has released a new mission, and the location is right here with us."
Cheng Zai yelled before he could read the content clearly, "That 07 organization isn't going to kill my mother again, is it? Brother Xiao said that my mother no longer has a virus that can infect people, why are they still refusing to let her go? My mother, how much hatred does my mother have against them!"
Xiao Mo slapped Cheng Zai on the forehead in a funny way, "It's not your mother, it's a new mission. There are carriers of the living dead virus in the base."
"Oh, I wish it wasn't my mother." Cheng Zai quickly calmed down, "But that organization is so magical, how do they know there are living dead virus carriers here? Wait! Living dead virus? Fuck! Isn't this a zombie?! "
