Chapter 1599: Stuck Mission

That thing?

Can it be solved?

Help me do something?

The three key phrases together made Lin An's expression freeze; his heart first relaxed slightly, then doubt instantly arose.

The Overseer's attitude changed so quickly that even he didn't expect it.

Lin An clearly realized the other side had just unleashed killing intent; he had truly taken a risk this time.

But in just a few seconds, especially after hearing he could absorb faith...

The Inspector obviously seemed to have thought of something, then quickly changed his attitude.

"Little mouse.. little guy.."

"Heh..."

Lin An gave a self‑mocking smile and didn't care about the Overseer's changing attitude.

To an existence of that level, he was indeed like a mouse; his life or death depended entirely on the other's mood.

Although he didn't know what the other had thought or guessed, as long as he could help, it was fine.

"No problem, Overseer."

"I'll do anything I can!"

Having agreed at once, Lin An took a deep breath and waited solemnly for the reply.

Will the solution increase the difficulty he faces?

It doesn't matter anymore; as long as it's not a dead end, it's fine!

Thinking differently, the Overseer's sudden attitude shift and clear "deal" with him is actually a good thing!

Very simple logic.

What's most terrifying in this world isn't being used, but having no use value at all!

Even..

Compared to the Overseer's previous vague attitude.

Once the two establish a relationship of interest.

Lin An clearly realized that by linking himself to the Overseer, one of his biggest threats was actually removed!

No matter what, the Overseer having him do a task surely wouldn't kill him first, right?!

This way, he basically doesn't need to worry about the system's detection.

"Although I "don't know" who gave you the intel… I'll tell you that the Apocalypse's progress will be devastating, especially for the rest of your civilization."

"But I can clearly tell you, this information is wrong, at least part of it is wrong."

Slightly arrogant.

The Judgment Eye, wrapped in its own rules, gave a light laugh and slowly sent the message.

Regarding the system's secrets, he figured even a Sixth or Seventh Stage existence couldn't know more than he does!

"After the Apocalypse's progress rises, large‑scale disasters will indeed appear, such as stellar crises, catastrophes, or even sudden death wars."

"Using your ability as the standard, if you encounter a stellar crisis, there's no doubt it's a dead end with no chance of survival."

"But the system is fair."

"The system won't assign a Body System a problem that only a Rule System can solve, just as it wouldn't give a lone Fifth Stage individual a group task."

"That's not a task anymore—it's extermination!"

After a pause, the Judgment Eye rarely began to explain.

Since this little mouse's value is higher than what he'd seen before, he naturally doesn't mind selling a bit more favor.

At the same time, Lin An on the other end of the communication saw the Inspector's message and instantly raised his brow; what he couldn't figure out before suddenly became clear.

"Exactly! That's how it should be!"

Ever since he heard Klein's message, he'd felt something was off!

The system wouldn't give a hopelessly difficult task! He'd verified this repeatedly since his first mission!

Although Klein gave an explanation, he still felt it wasn't right.

"So, Overseer."

"Even if I really quickly advance to Fifth Stage, the danger I face would only be aimed at me, right?"

"Most likely, it's a solo task, at least something I can handle myself."

He asked quickly.

Lin An felt as if a stone had been completely lifted from his heart, and his expression began to relax.

He isn't afraid of danger; he's afraid of being powerless!

However, this went beyond Lin An's expectations.

Faced with his confirmation, the Overseer merely smiled, then sent another message with deep meaning.

"No."

"In theory, since you're a pure Body System, it'll be as you thought: the system has a 90% chance of giving you a solo combat task or a Special Event for you to resolve."

"But the problem is… little guy, is your ability really a Body System?"

"You want to rely on the Rule System and Faith Power to break through to Fifth Stage, right?"

"Of course, in a short time that's all you can do."

After a pause, a light curtain suddenly appeared before Lin An.

All that could be seen was a black‑white‑gray, three‑color wheel appearing instantly, like the draw panel Lin An often saw.

"Did you see that wheel?"

"In places you cannot see, whenever the system issues missions, disasters, or even adjusts difficulty, it is essentially random."

"Black represents the Body System, white represents Rules, and gray represents other power systems."

"In each draw, the system calls random data in the background and then generates missions to send to you."

"Your power composition ratio is exactly the color ratio of this wheel."

"You, Lin An, have rule power, and other little bugs also have it."

"So in the random process, there is a probability of drawing the white area."

"So."

"Without saying anything more, the Eye of Judgment believed Lin An should know very well what he wanted to say."

"As expected."

"Inside the underground core, Lin An looked somewhat surprised at the wheel appearing before him."

"This was the first time he had heard of such a thing."

"The Overseer's understanding of the system was indeed far beyond that of these 'players'."

"'Random?'"

"'Look at the wheel's color distribution...'"

"A hint of solemnity flashed in Lin An's eyes."

"On the wheel, the black area indeed occupied most of it, but the area representing Rules was also not small, and..."

"'Special gray, why so much?'"

"Not knowing whether the Overseer intentionally or unintentionally displayed his authority, Lin An watched the 'diagram' of power division representing the Earth region, and within a few short seconds he actually saw the gray area growing bit by bit."

"Looking at the constantly growing gray and the white that slightly followed its growth, Lin An suddenly felt a hint of doubt in his heart."

"Is that gray part me? Or are there many Survivors on Earth who have mastered special power?"

"The overall Rule power is increasing, which can be understood."

"After all, Survivors are breaking through at every moment."

"That is, the growth speed seems a bit fast?"

"Surely we can't also count the fugitives, right?"

"Not quite sure whose power these increases come from, Lin An noted this abnormality and plans to investigate later."

"Now the urgent matter is to reach an agreement with the Overseer."

"'The Overseer's meaning is quite clear.'"

"'If I really go for a random mission draw, it's indeed possible, just as Kelai'en said, to directly draw a part I cannot cope with at all.'"

"'Thinking about it this way, Kelai'en didn't exactly deceive me...'"

"'But it's quite obvious that the method the Overseer mentions to solve it, with higher difficulty... probably just helps me avoid drawing unfavorable missions?'"

"Having thought this through, Lin An also did not hesitate and simply sent the message again."

"'So... Overseer.'"

"'What should I do to avoid drawing other missions?'"

"Feigning ignorance, Lin An secretly sighed in his heart, knowing this could only be helped by the Overseer."

"Owing a favor isn't a bad thing."

"Being usable is better than having no value."

"As Lin An expected."

"Soon, a short message was sent again."

"'It's simple; I'll issue you a high-difficulty mission to counter the random system!'"
