Zerg: Why is the Overlord like that?

The light from the room spilled out, illuminating the empty hallway.

Jian Chi looked around but didn't see anything.

strangeness.

Did he mishear?

He clearly heard some noises outside just now.

He then shook his head.

Let's just assume he misheard.

After closing the door, he continued speaking to the system in his mind:

I've already said we can't just look at the process, we have to look at the result. The result is that I agreed to Reed's request and brought Elvis into the room, and you also said that the scenario was complete. That's the result.

If you agree with what I said, please type 1; if you disagree, please gouge out your eyes.

[...] It's a system, so it doesn't have any eyes.

That's what they say, but the plot...

Has the main storyline changed?

The system hesitated for a moment: "No, that's not the case."

That settles it! Besides, you're not a system, right?

As they were talking, Jian Chi dropped this bombshell, as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.

The system was completely thrown into chaos.

【How could I not be a system?!】

Jian Chi raised an eyebrow.

【Anxious. 】

[Who's getting impatient? I am the system. What am I if not the system?!]

[Really? I don't believe it unless you tell me what type of system, model, and manufacturer you are...]

Jian Chi rattled off a whole bunch of things.

In conclusion: [As a higher-dimensional system, if you cannot answer this question instantly, you are definitely not a system.]

The system was truly bewildered.

Jian Chi is clearly a human from another planet in the 21st century, where technology is not advanced.

How do you know these things?

In response, Jian Chi said that he had spent his free time browsing the StarNet these past few days for a reason.

He had been testing the system from the very beginning, so how could he not try his best to understand more about it?

He dislikes anything beyond his control, especially this so-called system in his mind.

【I……】

One second passed.

[Waaaaah...]

The system cried.

too frightening.

How can there be such a terrifying person!

If it had known, it wouldn't have chosen Jian Chi in the first place, but at the time, all it saw was Jian Chi's exceptionally strong mental power.

After crying for a long time, the system finally stopped.

After stammering for a while, he finally said, "Okay, I'm indeed not a system."

Forget it, Jian Chi has already guessed it anyway, so there's no point in hiding it anymore.

Moreover, it has discovered that it has been led by the nose by Jian Chi from the very beginning.

Now it only has two options: either unbind Jianchi or stubbornly refuse to admit it.

However, given Jian Chi's personality, stubbornness won't work. He will use various methods to probe until he deduces the truth.

But untying...

It's already bound to the Simple Pool and doesn't have the energy to bind to a second one.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

The system, choking back tears, continued: "I am a wisp of consciousness."

【consciousness?】

[Yes, to be precise, I am a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's consciousness.]

Jian Chi's eyes flickered.

The consciousness of the Heavenly Way...

[The Heavenly Dao consciousness of this world? But I remember you said this world is an unformed world? Can an unformed world also have a Heavenly Dao consciousness?]

The system was surprised that Jian Chi could even think of this, and completely lost any hope of getting away with it.

[Under normal circumstances, the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao only arises in the true world. Therefore, it is extremely fortunate that I was able to develop consciousness before the world was even formed. However, even so, I am still too weak.]

Therefore, after realizing that the supporting character Jian Chi had self-destructed, the Heavenly Dao Consciousness entity used all its energy to collect and combine one hundred scenarios of the supporting character.

He then separated a wisp of his consciousness and transformed it into a simplified system, using this wisp of his consciousness as a supervisor.

This was all to ensure the smooth development of the main storyline in the final iteration.

Only in this way will He exist when the world truly takes shape.

Otherwise, it would also disappear after the main storyline collapses.

This is why the system cares so much about the main storyline, since it's related to whether its own entity can survive!

Jian Chi looked surprised.

He never expected the truth to be like this; if he had to guess, he estimated it would take him a long time to figure it out.

After all, he could never have guessed that the system was a wisp of the Heavenly Dao's consciousness.

"So, as long as the main storyline progresses normally, that's fine?"

Yes, that's about right.

"That's easy. You should have said so earlier. That way, we wouldn't have to complete those hundred scenarios. We can just maintain the normal development of the main storyline."

【No! These one hundred scenarios are already defined, they've become rules, and they must be followed. As a separate entity, I only have the right to supervise, not the right to cancel them.】

"..."

Fine.

Knowing that he had no choice but to do it, Jian Chi was not disappointed.

Actually, how should I put it, he quite liked those tasks.

The most important reason is that this small system is very easy to fool.

Seeing his silence, the system couldn't help but panic a little, after all, even its main body was just a newly formed consciousness.

I know you don't like it, but... but I really can't make that decision, sob sob...

Good heavens, what if Jian Chi gets upset and refuses to continue?

The system misunderstood, so Jian Chi decided to play along.

"In that case, is there any compensation?"

What kind of compensation do you want? Let me make it clear first, although I am the consciousness of the Heavenly Dao, I have used up most of my energy, and what I can do is very limited.

"First, you are not allowed to use electric shocks on me."

He hates being threatened.

"...Ahem, actually I was just kidding. I only have so much energy; if I used that electric shock a few more times, even I would fall into a deep sleep due to insufficient energy."

Its energy needs to be reserved for monitoring!

Jian Chi: "..."

"Then tell me first, what can you do?"

[Well, it's nothing much, it just lets you post scenarios and bring up the original story content.]

"That's it?"

"...That's all."

Okay, I thought the system might be useless, but I didn't expect it to be this useless.

"Then send me the whole story plot now."

Previously, the system was worried that Jian Chi would be affected, so it only released a general outline, concealing the specific plot details and the original owner's story.

Now that things are out in the open, he'll definitely want to know everything.

Okay, I'll transfer it to you.

Then, Jian Chi learned the real plot.

The plot wasn't much different from what he initially knew, except for a lot of added details.

For example, the original story was a sweet romance in the early stages, but later it involved some battlefield content.

The character in the novel, Carol, almost died on the battlefield.

Because of the sudden increase in ferocious beasts, most of the S-rank female insects were killed or injured, and a considerable number of them died due to mental energy surges.

There's nothing we can do; there are simply too few male Zerg.

Moreover, males are quite capricious; they prefer short, soft-bodied sub-females to hard, rigid females.

Finally, through Carol's relentless and frenzied fighting, they barely managed to drive the beast back.

However, as the only double S-class female military officer, and with Hani, the only S-class male insect, to comfort him, Carol dared to be so crazy.

Other female insects wouldn't dare, nor do they possess the mental strength of a double S.

In short, that battle was won extremely fiercely.

Upon seeing this, Jian Chi couldn't help but recall the forum posts analyzing whether Elvis could regain his mental strength.
