After Transmigrating as the Northeast CEO's Pampered Little Husband - Chapter 75

The two of them enjoyed a delightful weekend, and when Gu Jiaoyang went to school the following day, his spirits were completely restored. It was undeniable that having a loving home brought immense satisfaction, leaving him in a good mood throughout his classes that day.

Although he had no previous background in fine arts, he had crammed a bit before school started, and his professional courses were relatively relaxed, so Gu Jiaoyang didn’t expend too much mental energy.

Meanwhile, after learning that his younger brother had been so completely bewitched as to confess his love to Gu Jiaoyang, Qiu Yu immediately packed off Qiu Xue to his aunt’s house overnight, repeatedly urging his aunt to keep a close eye on him and help him understand his own sexuality.

Qiu Xue woke up with hazy memories; he couldn’t recall the specific details, only that Xi Chuanbai seemed deeply unsettling. His memories ended abruptly the moment Xi Chuanbai looked at him across the coffee table, his eyes shining strangely. The only reason he knew about pursuing Gu Jiaoyang was because he read about it in his own diary. A cold sweat immediately broke out on his skin.

With images of hypnosis and murder mysteries flooding his mind, he naturally avoided Xi Chuanbai entirely, obediently listened to his aunt, and regretfully stayed away from Gu Jiaoyang for the time being.

Gu Jiaoyang didn’t hold any ill will towards Qiu Xue; after all, the true culprit was Xi Chuanbai. This person… [System 001, this Virus System, do you know what its weaknesses are?] Gu Jiaoyang greeted Qiu Yu, returned to his dorm, sat on his bed, and cradling his chin, asked the Monitoring System.

The Monitoring System thought for a moment, flipping through its past records. However, because it was a flawed product that was never fully finished, the data records were not detailed. Likely just the standard weaknesses that all systems have.

The main one should be a drawback in the energy supply, but the Virus System has broken away from the normal energy supply chain. I don’t know what energy core they are operating with. The Monitoring System scratched its head in Gu Jiaoyang’s sea of consciousness. Pale blue data streams scrolled rapidly across the screen, but usable information was limited.

Energy? Well, what’s your energy source?

Oh, a battery reactor, of course. It’s installed when we leave the factory. But I suspect the Virus System has replaced the reactor with another energy source.

A Virus System that can deploy all kinds of Halos and has so many functions must consume a huge amount of energy to run. If it’s not your standard battery reactor, what else could sustain its operation? As Gu Jiaoyang spoke, he felt a familiar thought flash across his mind, giving him a sense of recognition.

Dai Gucan suffered an attack from the Halo on Xi Chuanbai. When he checked him, he found traces of soul fluctuation. Add to that his aunt Qin Yuan, and the large cluster of non-native flowers in the park…

Do you think the Virus System’s so-called Halos are, in a way, a form of Soul Modifier?

Soul Modifier?The Monitoring System displayed a screen full of question marks. Although its debut had been fraught with accidents, that didn’t mean it lacked basic knowledge. In their system-controlled world, souls, which were used as bargaining chips, were collected directly by the Main System. While there had been systems that tried to exploit loopholes to modify and seize souls, they ultimately failed because they couldn’t control the very souls they intended to use.

That’s impossible, isn’t it? Soul power is strong, but it’s uncontrollable and difficult to harness. The Main System can control souls because its power is close to that of a deity. Well, how do you know the Virus System’s master isn’t a deity?Gu Jiaoyang presented this question.

Impossible!!! There is only one Main System… there can only be one true deity!Then perhaps the Virus System’s master is a False God? A False God? Exactly. Something resembling a deity, but not quite. Since two true deities cannot exist in one world, one must be fake, right? My guess is that the Virus System’s master somehow figured out how to harness soul power.

That’s how they managed to break away from the countless other systems and establish their own territory, though their power may not be fully collected yet, meaning they can’t truly allow the exchanged souls to gain new life, like your Main System does.

So they resort to external means, planting those flowers to capture soul power, and then manipulating memories and creating illusions to change the soul’s recollections, all to achieve their objective of control? The Monitoring System seemed convinced by Gu Jiaoyang’s reasoning.

The pale blue digital information flowed quickly across the floating screen, recording the invisible data in detail. To summarise, directly entering the lower world to control the protagonist and collect souls is clearly quicker and safer than smuggling the soul source exchanged with the Main System! It wants to replace the Main God! The logic was beginning to connect.

The Virus System appeared silently, and everyone assumed it had merely rebelled against regulation, trying to escape its fate of being scrapped. But the Monitoring System never imagined the Virus System could harbour such grand ambitionit wanted to overthrow the Main System’s rule and become the Main System itself!

No! We absolutely cannot let it succeed!

Gu Jiaoyang also felt his guess was likely spot on. Xi Chuanbai, in his eyes, already differed from the original novel’s character design. What’s more, the original novel never mentioned anything about systems, and Xi Chuanbai himself didn’t align with the concepts of a ‘White Moonlight,’ a ‘White Lotus,’ or being gentle, kind, or charming.

Ruling out the possibility of reincarnation, the only logical conclusion was that Xi Chuanbai had altered his lifestyle due to the Virus System’s intrusion. The easiest way to modify the soul is to modify memory, and that Virus System seems to specialise in exactly that, doesn’t it?

“I wonder if my cultivation is enough to take on the Virus Main System yet.”

It’s probably not enough. After all, the Virus Main System is extremely afraid of death. Its 360-degree, dead angle free defence won’t give you a chance.

Hearing this, Gu Jiaoyang touched his palm, feeling a bit disappointed. Thanks to the dual cultivation technique, Gu Jiaoyang’s cultivation was soaring. Excluding the almost impenetrable defence, he thought he could attempt a solo fight. “I suddenly hope Xi Chuanbai hurries up and causes trouble for me. I want to test how strong my current cultivation is.”

Perhaps Gu Jiaoyang had been talking about it too much. Due to the Virus System being attached to a human host, a Chinese person who couldn’t stand being talked about behind their back, it showed up right in front of him the next day. Gu Jiaoyang’s face went cold as he looked at Xi Chuanbai blocking his path.

Tonight, after school, meet me at the little grove on the east side of the park.
