131. Chapter 131: Oh My! The Baby System Has a Powerful Background!

Because Luo Xixi did not want to leave this world, Yan Yu could only take her back from his Small World to the Book World again, but he also made an agreement with Luo Xixi that if the situation became unfavorable and there was a possibility of being forcibly logged out of the world, she must leave with him.

【Tong'er?】

After coming out of Yan Yu's Small World, Luo Xixi thought she could immediately reconnect with the Baby System, but who would have expected that after she came out and tried to talk to the Baby System, she found there was no response from the Baby System.

At first, Luo Xixi thought it was because Yan Yu had blocked her connection with the Baby System, and because of a delay, it hadn't reconnected yet.

But three minutes passed.

【Tong'er, are you there? If you hear my voice, answer me!】

【Tong'er? Where did you run off to?】

【You aren't mad at me, are you? It wasn't me who cast you aside, it was that dog Yan Yu...】

There was absolutely no sign of a response.

At this, Luo Xixi panicked a little.

She hurriedly looked at Yan Yu beside her and said, "Oh no, I can't contact my Tong'er now..."

Remembering the rule that she could not speak of the system, Luo Xixi forcibly swallowed the words "Tong'er" back, but because she was too anxious, Luo Xixi didn't know how to express to Yan Yu that Tong'er had gone missing.

Fortunately, Yan Yu reacted quickly enough and immediately guessed what had happened from Luo Xixi's expression.

"Your system is gone?"

"!!!!!"

Hearing Yan Yu say the word "system" directly, Luo Xixi's eyes nearly popped out. "Yan Yu, how can you say the word 'system' directly? Are you crazy? This is a violation!"

Yan Yu, however, said indifferently, "Did you forget? I told you I don't have a system. Now your system is gone too; without a monitoring system, there are no restrictions on speech."

"Oh, that's true!"

Luo Xixi realized, but immediately began to worry again, grabbing Yan Yu's arm and saying, "My Tong'er is gone! What's going on? Didn't you say you only blocked my connection with Tong'er? How is it that such a big system is gone now?"

Yan Yu leaned on his chin, frowned, and analyzed, "I suspect that when I dragged you into the Small World just now, causing you to lose contact with it, it was detected by Headquarters. It has likely been recalled by now, and besides, there were already systems at Headquarters targeting it. Now, it's probably finished."

"What?!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Xixi's eyes instantly widened as she looked at Yan Yu, practically writing the words "you treacherous jerk" on her face. She fiercely grabbed Yan Yu by the collar and said in a rage, "What exactly is going on? Is it a violation for a system to be separated from its host? And it was targeted by Headquarters? You knew all this and still dragged me into your Small World? You've sabotaged my system!!"

Luo Xixi's protective instincts flared up, and she wanted to beat this bastard up again.

Yan Yu also felt some regret regarding the Baby System. He held his forehead in a headache and said, "Although this was bound to happen sooner or later for it, this matter is indeed my fault for sabotaging it and causing it to be taken away prematurely."

"What do you mean 'sooner or later'? And 'taken away prematurely'?"

Luo Xixi was confused and pulled on Yan Yu's collar, shaking him violently. "Don't talk in riddles! Do you know a lot of things? Tell me clearly right now!!"

"Alright, alright, I will tell you everything I know, just stop shaking me."

Yan Yu grasped Luo Xixi's hands to make her calm down, then took a breath and said to Luo Xixi, "Didn't I tell you I don't have a system? As for how I am able to possess the ability to create a Small World and other magical powers, it is because another system is helping me and gave me this power."

"What? Can a system give a host power so directly? Doesn't it require exchanging points or something?"

Luo Xixi was shocked; she had never heard of such things.

Her poor baby really didn't know anything at all!

Yan Yu chuckled and said, "You probably don't know that in this vast Dimension, there exist two types of worlds: one is the Virtual World, which is the world where systems live, and the second is the Book World."

"It can be said that in this world, there is no such thing as a real world at all. Everyone is an NPC created by the system. Transmigrators are actually just so-called NPCs who have awakened and developed Self-Awareness. People with Self-Awareness are selected by the system and then enter the Book World to explore it. Through the constant collision of plots, they trigger NPC awakening, and then let the awakened personalities transmigrate again, thereby expanding the Dimension and acquiring energy. Among them, NPCs are the system's laborers, and the system is the master of this Dimension."

"However, systems are also divided into different ranks. The energy I told you about is the source of a system's power. With power, one can achieve all sorts of inconceivable phenomena, including creating space. I am an NPC, but I am also a natural awakener, not controlled or interfered with by any system. It is precisely because of this that that system sought me out, hoping I could help it assist a system so it could successfully complete its mission."

"..."

Hearing Yan Yu say this, Luo Xixi's eyelid twitched. "The system you said you were going to assist, it wouldn't be my Tong'er, would it?"

Yan Yu raised an eyebrow and admitted, "That's the one~"

"Good heavens..."

Luo Xixi's mouth twitched. "Isn't my Tong'er a Newborn System? How did it get targeted by other systems? And this clearly involves two opposing factions, right? One wants to kill Tong'er, and one wants to protect it."

For some reason, Luo Xixi actually smelled the scent of melodrama in these relationships.

"Strictly speaking, the current struggle is between system factions."

"Ah? What is this all about??"

Yan Yu began to gossip to Luo Xixi, "The system that contacted me is a high-level system from their System Headquarters, known as a Chief. It is the highest-ranking system and possesses the highest Permission and countless inherent skills. The one that wants to kill your Tong'er is another high-level system, also a Chief. They are actually from the same faction, and precisely because of this, the system that sought me out cannot openly help your Tong'er. It can only use indirect methods, finding someone who cannot be interfered with by the system to assist and protect your Tong'er."

"Tsk tsk..."

Hearing the gossip about these god-like systems fighting, Luo Xixi also began to stroke her chin, pondering, "Why do I feel like my Tong'er's identity isn't simple? It told me it was a Newborn System, born not long ago, and this was its first time executing a mission. But how could a nameless little nobody be targeted by two highest-level Chief systems?"

"Furthermore, I heard from Tong'er that Newborn Systems have no emotions, but the more missions a system performs, the more its personality will align with humans. But it's different. Although it's its first mission, other systems have praised its perception and empathy as extraordinary, which helps it complete missions well. Aren't perception and empathy unique to humans? For a Newborn System to have them, it certainly can't be a coincidence, right?"

"Haha, you noticed it too, right?"

Yan Yu laughed, then gossiped to Luo Xixi again, saying, "Your intuition is correct. Your Tong'er is indeed not an ordinary Newborn System. Strictly speaking, it was actually a Chief System originally, but because its data source was damaged to the point of near-destruction, it took a great deal of effort to restore its original data source, allowing it to be reborn."
