After several world missions, Yan Chu’s points had grown considerably. At the same time, there were a lot of goods in his system space that he thought may come in handy in the future but had not been used yet.
The goods in the system mall were known to be updated once a day, with only five items refreshed each time. Not every time you needed to use a particular commodity, it would appear on the shelf as you wanted. For this, Yan Chu was not stingy with points. When he saw those more beneficial commodities, he would choose to buy them.
Now Yan Chu had 11,800 points left, but there were many icons in My Goods on the system panel, and each one fit a category of products.

Yan Chu bought these from the commodities updated in the system mall every day, and some of them had been used, such as Muscle Growing Pill and Internal Building Pill. Not every world was smooth. The efficacy of these two pills was potent. Yan Chu did not know whether the system would deliver him to those dangerous worlds one day. He had always hoped that the system could refresh similar drugs, but unfortunately, he had not seen them appear on the mall shelves for so long.
It was safe to say that there were too many female executors in the main god space, which led to the market-oriented channels of the mall mainly aimed at women. Sometimes, after a few months, the goods on the shelves were pills for beauty, skin nourishment, or giving birth to children. Yan Chu did not need those. Sometimes there were some good things, but his points may not be enough. This cause was also the reason after several missions had come down from the world, his storage space only had a few things.
The last three Maoshan techniques appeared the day before. All the items in the five grids were related to Maoshan techniques. Among them was a book of Maoshan techniques. Although it was only a remnant, it still required 50,000 points to be exchanged. There was also a pair of Maoshan instruments, made of Wannian peach wood and Wannian Yin wood, one for exorcising ghosts and one for raising ghosts. They were also invaluable and required 20,000 points.
Yan Chu thought that the system should not have such goods without reason. Since he was abducted here by the system, he had long been put aside the atheism he once believed in. The current him was a person who had seen ghosts. Yan Chu guessed that maybe he would experience missions related to fierce ghosts in the next few worlds. He could not afford the latter two, so he ruthlessly bought the other three spells with barely acceptable prices, so he was prepared.
“007, I don’t seem to have asked you how many points it takes to get out of the system and return to my original world.”
After going through so many mission worlds, Yan Chu’s memory of his first life had become very faint, hazy, as if covered with a veil. He remembered what kind of person he was, how many his siblings were, and his friends, but those people were like a symbol. He seemed unable to remember what kind of people and personalities they were.
Also, he had stayed in every world for so long. It has been five or six hundred lifetimes since the world he truly lives in. It was normal to forget.
Perhaps it was also because Yan Chu did not have any obsessions, so he would not be like the wishers of those missions. For several lifetimes, he engraved that hatred or love in his bones.
“It takes 1 million points to get out of the system. It’s a long way to go. Host still needs to go up and down to accumulate it.”
Yan Chu was not the first to ask this question. On the contrary, he asked this question relatively late among 007’s previous hosts. Usually, each host would ask the points required to leave the system before performing the first mission.
Unlike Yan Chu, the hosts of the system mostly hold deep hatred. Like many wishers, they are the same but different from those wishers. They were bound to the system and had the opportunity to go back to the past to avenge themselves.
Of course, after going through more than a dozen worlds, those people would not remember who they once hated, just a matter of their obsession. Some had lost their bearings in the mission. Some had forgotten their hatred. They indulged in the powerful ability given to them by the system and the pleasure similar to the prophet. Usually, to this point, this host was not far from destruction. Soon, a new host with the same serial number would replace them.
Some turned their hatred into motivation, and that portion of the host would be powerful and ruthless. Those people often became a headache for the system.
007 was glad for his vision in selecting candidates. Although the rubbish Hosts No. 3 and No. 6 were thinking about causing trouble every day and often made the system angry, at least they would not pierce heaven. It felt sorry for its dear 001. Who made him the boss of the system? It had taken over all the troublesome hosts as the gloomy system, the violent system, and the revolution system.
007 did not know whether to gloat at its misfortune or regret their decreasing date time.
Long-distance relationships were always difficult to last, and the same applies to systems, especially when there was a fanboy System 110 around 001, that trash.
With the increase of the mission world, the points given by the system were actually getting higher and higher. At the moment, Yan Chu had already performed nine missions. Because of his consumption in the system mall, he had saved only 10,000 points. It was far from leaving the system and returning to his world.
In particular, Yan Chu was interested in the egg that appeared in the system mall several times with question marks without a name or function label, but the egg was too expensive and needed 100,000 points. Even if it had appeared frequently in the mall, Yan Chu did not buy it.
He had already decided he would buy that egg when he had accumulated enough 100,000 points. If it was still unsalable at that time and had appeared frequently in the mall, it also meant that it would be refreshed again when he had saved 100,000 points.
The road back home was long, but Yan Chu felt that he seemed to have fallen in love with this experience of helping people fulfill their obsessions.
Of course, if one day his system showed great kindness and made him a good person for once, every time he was either a scumbag or a villain, his pressure was also under great pressure.
“Let’s start the next mission.”
Yan Chu slept in the system mall for three days. After waking up, he spoke to 007 to begin his tenth mission world.
“Yan Chu, Yan Chu. Xixi, Yan Chu woke up.”
A little girl with an apple face saw Yan Chu wake up and spoke in surprise to the tall woman in the group of people starting a fire outside the tent.
Yan Chu felt that his throat was parched, his chest was stuffy and painful, and he seemed to have lost feeling in his right arm.
Before accepting the original self’s memory and the current world plot direction, Yan Chu’s first reaction was to remain silent after seeing a group of people dressed in strange styles.
Their clothes were bizarre. Both men and women were wearing a kind of close-fitting clothes. Their arms and legs had wrapped tightly, only revealing the palms, soles of feet, and head.
Yan Chu, who had experienced so many worlds, had never seen material like this.
He also noticed many things he had never seen in the tent where he was lying, including a circular metal ball floating beside each of them. When Yan Chu saw the woman named Xixi coming, the metal ball around her came with her.
What was that?
It looked a bit like 007.
“Warning, warning, Host No. 17, this is your slander against the great System 007.”
007 silently cursed in Yan Chu’s consciousness space.
Yan Chu: …
Could the system still monitor his brain? This fact made Yan Chu frown.
“Yan Chu, how are you feeling? Does the wound hurt?”
The apple-faced girl looked at him with a frown and asked nervously.
“The spaceship we were going to the Fu’er Star got attacked, and we had to make a temporary forced landing on this planet that has not been recorded in the Federation. Many things on the spaceship were lost during the forced landing. Xixi has already treated your wound. There should be no major problem now, but there is no analgesic pump, and the pain is estimated to take a long time to ease.”
Yan Chu listened to those unfamiliar terms. It seemed that this was a future interstellar era.
“Those useless floating balls are a kind of video recording tool in this era and are often used in live broadcasts in the wild. 007 reminds the host who has no vision that your every move is now broadcast live on the star network, so pay attention until you absorb the memory of the original self and the plot direction of this world.”
007’s voice sounded around Yan Chu: “Also, the noble 007 disdains to see what’s in your brain. I don’t have access to some content that the host doesn’t want people to know. The above is my compensation for sending you to the wrong time node.”
As a system with more than 20 hosts and the number of hosts was still increasing, it was also hectic and would not stick to Yan Chu’s side. Only because it realized that it sent Yan Chu to the wrong time node, it appeared suddenly, and it happened to hear Yan Chu compare itself with those few floating balls with little technological content, and then it suddenly spoke in his mind.
“I have a headache. I’m afraid I have to rest for a while.”
With a hoarse voice, Yan Chu told the apple-faced girl and the woman named Xixi.
This world felt more dangerous, and he had to absorb the memory of the original self as soon as possible.
“Okay, take a rest now.”
The apple-faced little girl nodded and then pulled the woman named Xixi out. The little girl seemed to be the most worried about Yan Chu among these people. Others outside the tent heard him wake up, but there was no movement.
“We are all contestants. That’s a million stars. I think it’s better to let him lie in the tent, so there is one less competitor.”
“That’s right. This planet is too weird. Even though the communication is normal, we can’t lock the location. The government has sent a search and rescue team to find and rescue us in the star area where we got attacked by interstellar pirates. However, Douxiong Company said, let us start live broadcasting directly on this strange planet before the search and rescue team arrives. At that time, the most popular player will get 1 million stars. Yan Chu was originally the top three popular players. His injury this time shows that he is fated to miss this opportunity. Why should we save him and keep him alive?”
Yan Chu listened to the noise from outside the tent and did not care much, and his consciousness returned directly to the sea of knowledge space.
“Wrong delivery time. What happened?”
“This… That…”
007’s arrogant tone suddenly turned into an aggrieved little daughter-in-law. It was mincing, not knowing how to talk.
“The system is not a sage. Nobody is perfect. Aiya, you’ll know when you accept the wisher’s mission. Aiya, the garbage Host No.3 is making trouble again. No more explanation. I’ll go first.”
007 disappeared from the space of consciousness in a flash.
Yan Chu looked at his unreliable system speechlessly. He really doubted that the reason why it could rank so high in the system derived from unspoken rules.
He thought this system was quite normal before. What happened recently? What was it stimulated by?
No matter what 007 did, everything was inevitable. Yan Chu sighed and began to absorb the original self’s memory and this world’s plot direction.
It was currently 8,000 years of the federal calendar. The Earth in Yan Chu’s memory, no, the aqua-blue star similar to Earth, was discovered by exploration teams from other galaxies tens of thousands of years ago. Since then, it has also opened a new era of solar galaxies.
In that year, many galaxies with life seemed to suddenly lose the barrier hiding their traces and getting exposed to the universe. Some of these galaxies were powerful in science and technology, some remained in a self-sufficient primitive society, some were rich in materials, and some were poor in resources. Therefore, the war around these inequalities lasted for thousands of years.
Until the establishment of the Federation, all galaxies were incorporated into the Federation, the war stopped, the exchanges between galaxies were frequent, and the life of the Federation people was on the right track.
Now it is the 8000th year of the founding of the Federation. Douxiong Company founded an activity called desert island survival live broadcast. They invited the wild live broadcast network red, which is now ranked high on StarNet, to participate in this activity, set up a reward of one million star coins, and the task location was Fu’er Star.
Fu’er Star was a detected galaxy that could rule out life-changing injuries on the whole. Even if there was an accident, it only took two hours to reach the closest Ice-Blue Main Star from Fuer Star by spaceship, and the injured could get the most effective treatment.
If there was an emergency on the island that players could not control, they could also launch a distress device in time, and the interstellar police would arrive in time for rescue.
Unfortunately, the players had an accident before they arrived at Fu’er Star and landed on an unrecorded planet by the Federation.
This planet was not big, and their landing point happened to be on an island surrounded by sea. No one knew what was on the island and what dangers were in the sea.
The interstellar era was not like the novels Yan Chu had read before, with everyone having powers or spiritual power. He was in a society with highly developed science and technology. The human physique was slightly more powerful than tens of thousands of years ago and did not have any superhuman ability.
Most of the adventurers in the wild rely on experience and physical fitness to do outdoor live broadcasts. In the interstellar era, excessive use of high-tech tools in live broadcasts would not attract much attention. Interstellar citizens liked to watch broadcasters conquer nature with skill and knowledge in unfamiliar outdoor environments and show their charisma.
This time, the competition held by Douxiong Company was no exception. In addition to the constant temperature clothing worn by everyone and the live broadcast ball of each player, there were also a tiny amount of first aid kits. They could not carry any high-tech products. After the live broadcast started, their words and deeds would be displayed on Douxiong Company’s live broadcast platform on StarNet, except for sensitive clips such as going to the toilet and sleeping, when the live broadcast ball would be automatically blocked.
Federal citizens could vote or give rewards to their favorite players, which would be converted into points proportionally. At that time, whichever player had the highest popularity would be able to receive a reward of one million star coins.
Currently, they did not have any protective tools around them. But they fell on a strange planet, which was a deathly thing in itself.
The Douxiong Company had paid a high cost of publicity before and was more reluctant to miss such a good fortune to make a gimmick. Of course, according to the original plan, let the players start the live broadcast on this unfamiliar island. Players who were unwilling to participate could choose to withdraw and wait for the rescue of the Federation. Obviously, no one present wanted to give up the reward of one million star coins.
They were well-known live broadcasters on StarNet. If they chose to retreat at this time, the fans who supported them would be very disappointed. The blow was huge for the players who made a living from this. Furthermore, one million star coins were enough for a person to spend a lifetime. Who could give up such a big temptation?
The original self was also the live broadcaster in the outdoor area of StarNet. He was very popular. However, every live broadcast of him was arranged by the team carefully. He could be said to be the perfect person in front of the fans and audience. This design made him have many supporters on StarNet, and he was also the player with the highest vote to win this competition.
Initially, the original self was unwilling to participate in this event, but one of his team members betrayed and disclosed his god creation process on the Internet. However, because the original self was meticulous every time and the other party could not provide conclusive evidence, many people still supported him, and fewer people opposed him on the Internet.
This competition was his process of proving himself. Although the original self was unwilling, he still participated under the pressure of public opinion.
There were eight contestants beside him in the competition.
The apple-faced girl was called Sheng Xiaoxing. She was a top student in Federal University’s Department of Botany. Because she could identify more than 100,000 kinds of plants, she had a great advantage in field exploration. This little girl was the original self’s fan. This time, she participated in the tourney to get close contact with the original self.
Gu Xixi, a doctor by profession, was a woman with a cold personality and a thoughtful mind. She helped to deal with Yan Chu’s injuries.
Gu Xihe, Gu Xixi’s older brother, was tall and mighty. He had won the championship of the Federation Martial Arts Competition for three consecutive years. He used to live broadcast the fight with a lonely lone wolf outdoors. Without any weapons, he killed the lone wolf with his bare hands and became an instant hit. In this live broadcast competition, he was also one of the players with the highest vote for the championship.
Most of the original self’s popularity relied on his face, while Gu Xihe’s depended on his strength. In addition, both of them were popular in winning the championship, so they did not like each other very much.
In addition, there was a female player, Linda, and four male players, Ou Yang, Xu Santong, Sai Daman, and David.
Among them, Linda among the female players, as well as Sai Daman and David among the male players had part of the Western Federation’s genes, and their physique was stronger than that of the Eastern Federation, which was also a great advantage in the field exploration without any cheating weapons.
The original self’s luck was the worst among the nine players. After the spaceship forced landing, the players were more or less injured, but they were not serious. Only he broke his right arm. Although he had set the bone in an emergency, he used a few first-aid drugs in the spaceship. There was no guarantee that it would return to its regular use in the subsequent exploration.
He was initially a half-baked expert in field exploration, and now his situation was even more embarrassing.
There were still endless dangers and unknowns, particularly on this isolated island undiscovered by the Federation.
Yan Chu had a headache, maybe the original self was too obsessive, and he consciously blocked what happened after they arrived on the deserted island and started the live broadcast. So many things that happened in the game were blank in Yan Chu’s mind, with only a few fragments.
He only knew that many people died in this expedition, including the original self and the cute apple-faced girl, and the only one who survived was the woman named Xixi.
In the later stage, the live broadcast ball got damaged one after another due to various accidents, and the viewers watching the live broadcast on StarNet did not know what happened later. According to those intermittent clips, they only knew that the original self seemed to have made many unforgivable mistakes. Anyway, in the end, even if he died, he became a reviled existence by everyone in the interstellar.
The wisher of this mission was the original self. He hoped that Yan Chu could help him win this competition and ensure that all the players could survive.
Remembering the moment the rescue team arrived, Yan Chu opened his eyes. Was this the mission of the high-scoring world? Sure enough, it was more challenging.
But Yan Chu still did not understand the wrong time node in the system mouth.
