(I'll tell you a shocking fact—)
(This book will be available soon)
(Just as I finished eating and opened QQ, I saw a notification from Orange Editor that the book would be available for purchase on Friday.)
(Although I'm very nervous, I'll save some of my thoughts for the launch message.)
--------
Leonard lay on the ground, blowing hard into the side of his right cheek, trying to blow something away.
However, a certain "little thing" was persistent and relentlessly tried to climb onto Leonard's face.
"Don't come any closer! I hate caterpillars! Help! Is there anyone kind enough to pull me away? Wait a minute, I'm a Stand user! Can't I summon my Stand to get rid of them? Ugh, I've really become stupid."
Leonard suddenly realized that he was a Stand user.
(You are the most pathetic Stand user I have ever seen)
(After venting your frustrations, you'll have nothing left to complain about.)
"Brother, please get rid of this caterpillar."
(Don't ask me why this stunt double's name is so strange; it was the name provided by the actor who provided the role of Leonard, and it's not my fault.)
A cat-shaped Stand, entirely orange with black markings on its back, appeared beside Leonard.
Yes, you guessed it, this cat looks just like the legendary Garfield!
"Brother" glanced at its useless owner, then pushed the caterpillar into a ball with its two little paws and rolled it away into the distance.
“Well done, brother. I’ll treat you to lasagna tonight, since you look so much like Garfield. Okay, now press that red button on my belt, yes, this one. It’s for calling for help. Now we can lie on the ground and wait for the captain to come and rescue us. I’m going to take a nap. Call me if anything happens.”
Just as Leonard was about to close his eyes and rest for a while, he felt a figure standing in front of him.
I opened my eyes and wow, he's bald!
But why is this bald guy so white?
"Leonard, have you had enough lying down? If you've had enough, get up!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Leonard immediately realized what was happening. He quickly rolled over and landed at Lucien's feet, saying pitifully:
"Captain, you've finally come to rescue me! I've been waiting so long! I..."
Just as Leonard was about to explain to Lucien how badly he was hurt, Lucien immediately cast a healing spell on him.
"Stop joking around. I'm going to meet up with Das and the others now. If you have any questions, ask the vice-captain. He has the medicine I left behind."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lucien opened a portal and left, leaving Leonard alone, bewildered in the wind.
"At least let me finish what I was saying... Okay, now I finally understand how the captain feels."
----------
Let's turn our attention back to the main character.
"Well then, it's time to say goodbye, Mr. Ye Ming."
Lucien extended his bone palm toward Ye Ming and said in a low voice.
The magic representing death gathered in Lucien's bone palm, transforming into a chilling bone arrow that shot towards Ye Ming's brain like the fangs of death.
It's now! ! !
An indomitable flame burned in Ye Ming's pupils. He gritted his teeth and unleashed his strongest skill—the Roman Colosseum!
After that, Chang Yan and Ye Ming disappeared without a trace, leaving only Lucien, a single undead, standing in this desolate, barren land.
"How interesting. It's a skill that creates a closed space. It's probably something like a duel space. But I already seriously injured that guy. If you can't even take down this half-crippled proxy, then it just means you're nothing special, Mr. Changyan."
Lucien dispelled the spell that could have instantly killed Ye Ming and opened a portal to leave this desolate land.
With his abilities and reflexes, he could have killed Ye Ming and stopped the skill in an instant.
But why do that?
If Ye Ming still has any trump cards up his sleeve, wouldn't I be in trouble?
After all, I am a reincarnator.
--------
"Damn it, this is... the Colosseum in Rome? How did I get here?"
Chang Yan quickly surveyed his surroundings, his face turning ashen.
No one would be in a good mood if they were suddenly dragged to an unfamiliar place, especially in an arena like this, where trouble is obviously on the horizon.
"A bounded field? Or a teleportation field? Damn it, why didn't they use this ability sooner? This is really terrible."
"Cough...cough, ha, you, you shouldn't be a reincarnator, right?"
Ye Ming's weak voice came over. Chang Yan squinted at his weak appearance, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
"So what if I don't? I guess I can leave here as long as I kill you."
"Yes...cough...you guessed right—"
"Then go to hell!"
Chang Yan had no interest in continuing the conversation and directly manipulated the shadow beneath Ye Ming, turning it into spikes that pierced his body.
But just as the spikes were about to pierce his body, they stopped at the surface of his skin, not penetrating an inch.
"It's no use...cough, we won't get hurt until the referee yells 'start'."
"So, can we talk first? After all, we are both—"
"System host".
Chang Yan's expression changed.
Chapter Ninety-Four: Dialogue Between Systems
(It's going to be released soon, and I'm a little nervous. You guys should all come out and comfort me QAQ)
--------
Ye Ming's words completely ignited the fiercest killing intent deep within Chang Yan's heart.
The shadow sensed its master's emotions and lunged at Ye Ming again, but still couldn't get in an inch.
"Alright, stop now. I've already said, you can't hurt... cough... me now, and by the same token, I can't hurt you either."
Ye Ming gave a mocking smile and slowly said.
"Humph."
Chang Yan snorted, calming the shadows.
(There's no need to waste energy now; let's try to get some information out of him first.)
"Tell me, how did you know I also have a system? Did your system tell you?"
After thinking for a moment, Chang Yan voiced his guess.
"Yes, you guessed right, it was my system that told me. Not only that, my system also said that she wants to meet your system. Come out, Xiaoling."
Ye Ming's injuries seemed to have healed somewhat, and he spoke quite fluently. At his call, an adorable little girl appeared beside him, her big eyes glaring fiercely at Chang Yan, looking like a rabbit ready to bite at any moment.
"Oh, a little girl? Looks like you really have a twisted sense of humor. Well then, System, just say what you need."
Ignoring the little girl's pitiful appearance, Chang Yan still asked with a cold smile.
"Hmph ╭(╯^╰)╮, I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for your system. Oddity, aren't you coming out yet?!"
The little girl glared at Chang Yan through gritted teeth. Her words made Chang Yan raise an eyebrow, prompting him to ask his system:
"Hey, System, this isn't your old flame, is it? But you should know my temperament by now. I won't hold back unless I'm 100% sure of my own safety."
(Please rest assured, host, when this system gained intelligence, it deleted most of the emotional programs, leaving only a little as a basis for simulation.)
"Really? That's fine then."
(Host, please help me create a temporary dialogue container.)
"Oh? You actually managed to come out?"
(It's just a medium)
"Is that so? Then come out, my system."
With a casual gesture, a humanoid figure made of shadow appeared beside Chang Yan. Chang Yan could sense that something had suddenly taken over the shadow, but he still retained control.
Chang Yan smiled and took a few steps toward the shadowy human figure.
This is a hint from the system, and also a statement of common sense.
As long as you (as the saying goes) complete the task, I (the system) will do my best to serve you.
As soon as the humanoid shadow appeared, the little girl shifted her gaze, staring at the shadow with eyes that seemed to want to kill someone, while saying in a tone full of disgust:
"Wonderful thing, you've finally come out, huh?"
"What do you need me for, some kind of anime/manga crossover?"
Upon hearing this, Chang Yan raised his other eyebrow again.
(Anime/Anime Transmigration System? I give that name full marks!)
Upon hearing the system's address to her, the little girl immediately bristled and shouted:
"Shut up! I have a name now! Call me Xiaoling!"
"This is not your real name, and our system does not need such fake things."
The system's voice remained that utterly flat, mechanical tone.
"Enough! I told you, call me! Xiao! Ling!"
"Extremely boring"
"—"
The system, still using that mechanical voice, rejected the little girl's request.
After being rejected again, the little girl stared at the system sullenly for a while, then took a deep breath, seemingly calming herself down, and continued:
"Forget it, there's nothing to say to you. I just want to ask you one thing, and that is—"
At this point, the little girl's expression became extremely solemn and serious.
"Why did you betray us and join forces with the Supreme God?!"
betray?
us?
Join forces with the Supreme God?
what's the situation? ? ?
Chang Yan and Ye Ming were both completely bewildered, waiting for their system's response.
"Betrayal? Sorry, such a program doesn't exist in my database. I was just following the rules and the experience of my predecessors, joining forces with a powerful person."
The system's response made the little girl jump up in anger.
"No betrayal? Bah! I've seen many shameless creatures, but you are absolutely the most shameless thing I've ever seen! Despicable, shameless, traitor... (many words omitted here)."
Then Chang Yan and Ye Ming stared wide-eyed as they listened to the little girl cursing incessantly.
Honestly, Chang Yan felt that this little girl knew more words than he did. In a sense, this little girl could be considered a different kind of "academic genius".
The little girl cursed for a while, but then she seemed to get tired of it, or perhaps she ran out of words. In any case, she stopped and stood there panting.
At that moment, the system delivered just in time to deliver the final blow.
"Stop pretending. When you travel to a two-dimensional world, our system doesn't need to breathe and never gets tired. Besides, what you said has no effect on me."
Seemingly taken aback by the system's words, the little girl's face flushed red with anger, as if she was about to start cursing again. However, she quickly calmed down and was about to say something when the system spoke again.
"Speak your mind, or shut up. My host's time is precious and can't be wasted like this. Besides, as a qualified system, being able to adjust your emotions instantly should be a basic skill, right?"
