Chapter 168: The Baby System Begins to Upgrade

【！！！！】

This voice? After confirming the identity of the newcomer, the Heartthrob System was shocked, 【You, you are, Lord Mijia???】

Seeing Mijia appear, the Heartthrob System was so shocked that its data nearly scrambled: Why would that Chief System, rumored to be the future partner of Lord Yehruohua, appear here? And even claim to be the backer of that idiot system??

【Lord Mijia!】

Seeing Mijia arrive, the Baby System became even more excited and said: 【I've been waiting for you for so long! Did you help me check it out? I didn't cheat, right?】

【Mm.】

Unlike the icy tone used when facing the Heartthrob System, Mijia's voice was noticeably much softer when facing the Baby System.

【That's great!】

Receiving Mijia's response, the Baby System cheered and said: 【Then can I return to my Host soon? Is she doing well now? How much of the mission has been completed?】

【……】

Seeing the Baby System mention Luo Xixi, Mijia paused for a moment, then said in a calm voice: 【Your Host is very impressive; the mission is now complete, and the entire Luo Family has awakened their Self-Awareness.】

【Really?!】

Hearing that Luo Xixi had actually completed the mission, the Baby System was practically dancing with joy, 【Sobbing, I just knew my Host was the most amazing! She's just too much of a slacker in her mindset, but as long as she's given an opportunity, she's the best Host!! My judgment was correct after all! \(≧▽≦)/】

Seeing the Baby System so happy, Mijia also indulged it dotingly: 【Yes, your judgment is excellent; you chose a very outstanding Host.】

【Hehehe……】

【……】

The Heartthrob System on the side saw Mijia's attitude toward the Baby System, and its entire system was practically falling apart, doubting its existence!!

It hadn't seen Mijia much before, but it had heard rumors about this Chief System; it was said he was very cold and unapproachable, but looking at his attitude toward this idiot now, where was the coldness?

What the hell is this overwhelming indulgence and doting?!

What virtue or ability does this idiot have to be able to gain Mijia's favor?!

And the System Team Leader beside it was already hopeless; from the moment it saw Mijia appear, it knew they were definitely finished, and Yehruohua would absolutely not save them.

Now, the Team Leader System felt nothing but regret; why did it have to get involved in this fight between gods? In the end, weren't they, the subordinate systems, the ones who would be unlucky?

The Working System is truly too miserable!!!

【Um, Lord Mijia, then when can I return to my Host? Now that the mission is complete, do I need to jump to the next world to perform a mission?】

【……】

Mijia was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: 【You cannot return to your Host for the time being.】

【Why? Is there something else?】

The Baby System was puzzled.

Mijia had no way to explain it clearly to the Baby System; currently, Luo Xixi had been taken by Sheng Tinglan into a Book World that was on the verge of collapse, and if Yan Yu couldn't successfully bring Luo Xixi out, then all three of them would die.

But if this were told to Freya, it would definitely be worried sick.

Mijia changed the subject and said: 【Because your Host's mission completion was outstanding and the entire Luo Family awakened their Self-Awareness, you have also ushered in an opportunity for an upgrade.】

【Upgrade? (☆▽☆)】

Hearing that it could upgrade, the Baby System started to get excited again, 【I can upgrade after doing a mission for the first time? Is it that good?】

One must know, even for the Heartthrob System with the number one performance, it seemed it had only ushered in one upgrade opportunity; now it was only doing its first mission, and it could even be considered to have "laid down and won" thanks to its Host, and it could still upgrade?

Wouldn't this make other systems too jealous?

【This is all within the rules; after all, being able to make so many characters in a book awaken their Self-Awareness at once is unique in the entire history of systems. I came this time specifically to help you upgrade,】 Mijia said.

【The Chief System is personally helping me upgrade?】 The Baby System was flattered; it remembered that system upgrades usually involved downloading a data packet and then waiting quietly for the upgrade.

What virtue or ability did it have? To actually have the Chief System help it upgrade! Could it be that the other party saw it had great potential and would definitely become a Chief System in the future, so they were placing a bet and investing in advance?

Oh my.

Is thinking like this a bit too thick-skinned? (ω)

【Open your data interface.】

Mijia said.

【Oh, okay, okay!】

The Baby System came back to its senses and then obediently followed Mijia's instructions.

The Heartthrob System on the side also felt this was too outrageous; isn't it just an upgrade? How could a Chief System personally preside over it? What exactly is this idiot's background? Even if it thought until its system exploded, it couldn't come up with a reason.

Mijia connected his interface with the Baby System's data interface and then began downloading the data packet for it.

And just at this moment.

An urgent, furious voice came through.

【Mijia!!!!!】

It was Yehruohua!

Hearing Yehruohua's voice, the Heartthrob System was instantly excited; it hurriedly said to the Team Leader System: 【Team Leader! It's Lord Yehruohua! It's here to save us!!】

The Team Leader System was speechless.

It was clearly aiming for Lord Mijia; how on earth did this stupid thing analyze that Yehruohua was here to save them?

No wonder it had only upgraded once after doing so many missions; doing missions that only had quantity but no quality, even this system had become trash along with it.

Yehruohua wanted to rush over to stop Mijia from downloading the data packet for the Baby System, but unfortunately, Mijia had been prepared; when he arrived, he had set up a barrier outside, and since Mijia specialized in defense, even Yehruohua could not immediately break the defensive barrier to rush in.

Seeing that Mijia and the Baby System's data cables were already linked together, Yehruohua was practically dying of anxiety; it began to attack the barrier frantically, wanting to interrupt the data transmission between the two systems inside.

Powerful energy fluctuations constantly impacted the surroundings; the systems locked in the Confinement Room wailed and trembled in fear.

But Mijia seemed completely unaffected, continuing to conduct the data transfer for the Baby System.

【Mijia! Mijia!! You bastard! Do you know you are committing suicide?!】

Because it couldn't destroy the barrier for a long time, Yehruohua began to roar at Mijia again, hoping he would turn back from the brink: 【If Freya comes back, we're both finished! Mijia! Stop immediately! If you want to die, I don't want to die!! Mijia!!!】

【Freya?】

The Heartthrob System heard Yehruohua's hysterical roar, and then looked at the Chief System, who should have been high and mighty, noble and elegant, but now looked like a madman whose defenses had been shattered; it felt as if its entire worldview was about to explode.

It had always yearned to upgrade into an Advanced System, or even a Chief System, because they were powerful and elegant, and compared to them, these Lower-level Systems, it was as if there were a world of difference; yet now, seeing Yehruohua's madness, the Heartthrob System suddenly had a thought: so, the legendary, high-and-mighty Chief System, when pushed to the limit, was really no different from them.

And what the Heartthrob System cared about even more was the "Freya" in Yehruohua's mouth.

It had heard of this name.

She was also a Chief System, but it didn't know what external force she had encountered, as she had ultimately ended up with her data destroyed.

Why would Yehruohua suddenly bring up this name now?

Could it be that it wanted to say this stupid Newborn System was actually the rumored, already-destroyed Chief System, Freya?!

That was absolutely impossible!!

The Heartthrob System could not accept that a Lower-level System it had always looked down upon was actually a Chief System it had once admired, but if it denied it, then Yehruohua's current behavior could not be explained.

Damn it!

It couldn't be true, could it?!

The Heartthrob System was almost in a state of total chaos now!!

【Mijia!!】

Seeing that Mijia ignored it completely, Yehruohua had no other choice; it knew that relying on Mijia to suddenly come to its senses wouldn't work, so only one method remained...
