Primordial Era: When a Good Guy Awakens a Morally Unethical System

Zhen Yuanzi couldn't bear to see Hongyun act foolishly. After confirming that Hongyun was alright, he left Hongyun's room and continued with his own business.

The system's mockery and sarcasm were never absent: 'You're so stupid! How could Zhen Yuanzi possibly believe such a ridiculous excuse!'

Hongyun lay on the couch: "Then may I ask what better explanation you have for my unusual behavior?"

The system paused for a moment: "Ding! A system search has revealed over 409,800 methods. Which one would you like to purchase, host?"

Without a second thought, Hongyun immediately refused, saying that anything that cost money was unacceptable.

"No need, let Zhen Yuanzi think whatever he wants!" Anyway, Zhen Yuanzi has already seen it, and maybe he can guess it himself!

Hongyun stopped communicating with the system and ignored its exasperated tone. She lay down on the bed, closed her eyes to rest, and fell asleep shortly afterward.

The system reluctantly returned to its base and immediately began to complain: "My host is incompetent and bullies people. Master, when are you going to give me a different host?"

An elderly man with white hair sat upright in the air, looking lovingly at the younger generation below. Hongyun's immoral system had also transformed into a teenager, soft and chubby, which was his favorite.

Therefore, he didn't mind giving a few more pointers: "Once the system is bound, it cannot be unbound, especially since your host is the most suitable candidate. If you forcibly unbind it, it will damage his soul, and you will be demoted."

The little system instantly looked utterly defeated. Now that Hongyun knew its plans, it would be too difficult to trick Hongyun into doing so.

The old man smiled and continued to comfort him, "His path of cultivation is by no means smooth sailing; you will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

"But I don't want to be demoted. I just got promoted, it would be too embarrassing to be demoted!" The little system lowered its head and said in a dejected voice.

The old man reached out and patted the little system's head, his voice gentle: "But you're forcing the host to do things he doesn't want to do because of your own reasons. Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? The system is bound to the host to assist him and help him, not to make him a tool for your performance."

"But the hosts of other systems are all incredibly powerful!" the little system retorted, still somewhat unconvinced.

The old man then straightened his expression and looked at the little system seriously, saying, "Everyone is different, just like you and other systems. You are very different from them! Since you have chosen this host, you must accept everything about it, fulfill the system's mission, and assist it. The more you assist it, the more points you will get."

The points earned by the host when purchasing items in the store are recorded as your points. This is to help you better assist the host and to record how much you have assisted the host, not to force the host to perform for the sake of performance targets.

If the host is truly put in danger because of your coercion, can your performance compensate for the trouble you've caused?

This is the most important thing. If the host gets into trouble because of the system, the system will be considered defective and will be directly eliminated.

The little system realized this and turned pale with fright. At the time, it only thought that it could use such a dangerous situation to force Hongyun to buy on credit again, but it never thought that Hongyun had offended such a powerful person and would really die.

The old man was the little system's master; he had personally witnessed the little system grow from a program into a sentient being, and then into its current form. Now that he saw the little system was afraid, he decided to let the matter drop.
