The male supporting character was actually myself.

Oh right, Duoduo is the auxiliary system I've linked to.

It looks exactly like a red panda, only much smaller and rounder.

Dodo, who looked like a little panda, lazily perched on her shoulder. When he heard his host describe himself as fat, he muttered in a slightly dissatisfied, childish boy's voice, "I'm not fat! I'm just round."

"Hmm, so round and plump. My Duoduo isn't fat at all." She gently stroked the panda's fur.

On the evening of May 7th?

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly. It was the same day? What a coincidence!

"Does Sister Lu have any religious beliefs? Like Buddhism or Taoism?"

"No, I'm an atheist." Lu Xinnan shook her head and denied it. "I've always felt that things like gods, Buddhas, and the afterlife are too abstract and unrealistic. What's the point of living in the present?"

Atheist?

Was my previous guess wrong?

Jiang Chen frowned slightly. "Do you remember anything unusual you did in real life before you came here? Even something small is fine. You can talk about anything you think is suspicious."

Chapter Sixteen: The One and Only Little White

“A suspicious situation?” Lu Xinnan had clearly never considered this.

When she learned that she was "dead," her subconscious thought was that she must have stayed up too late and been too tired during that period, like many young people in the news who died suddenly because their bodies couldn't rest after staying up late.

Only now, when Jiang Chen asked her, did she seriously recall what had happened before her "death".

My husband is a maintenance engineer at a foreign company. He's very busy and travels for work nine and a half days out of ten. Since our daughter was born, I've basically been working and taking care of her all by myself.

Fortunately, her daughter is well-behaved and sensible. She leaves her at the daycare downstairs when she goes to work and only picks her up after a long day. Even so, Lu Xinnan still feels very tired, especially when she has to work on weekends.

So staying up late to prepare lessons has become the norm for her since she had children.

Feeling guilty about neglecting her daughter due to her busy work schedule, she decided to prepare a big surprise for her beloved child's birthday, and started making preparations several days in advance...

"I remember now!" Lost in her memories, she suddenly brightened up after finishing her drink. "I've thought about it several times, and my life is basically a copy and paste, nothing unusual."

Apart from the email I received on May 6th!

Lu Xinnan is an atheist, but she has been interested in all kinds of unsolved mysteries since she was a child.

Before getting married, I had plenty of free time and joined various online discussion groups. In my spare time, I often collected videos of unsolved mysteries and analyzed their authenticity.

Later, as I became busy with my family and taking care of my children, I gradually put this hobby aside.

On the afternoon of May 6th, she received an email from a long-lost online friend containing a two-minute video.

“We used to get along well in the discussion group, and he knew I was interested in these kinds of videos.” She carefully chose her words and patiently explained, “I happened to have some free time at the time, so I clicked on it to watch.”

The video started with a very brief narration, saying that some lucky people who watched the video would be able to meet God.

There are too many clickbait headlines online, so I didn't pay much attention to them.

Looking back now, I think the opening narration had a strong psychological suggestion element.

The video shows a chaotic scene. At first, the screen transitions slowly, but then it flashes faster and faster until it seems to turn into lines and then turns completely black, leaving only a line of white text: "Did you see God?"

I didn't feel anything after reading it, so I just turned it off and went to read picture books with my daughter.

If there's anything strange, the only thing I can think of is this video.

Jiang Chen tapped his fingers slowly on the table as he pondered, "I've heard of many similar things."

However, they were all just pranks.

At first, it gives people a psychological suggestion, and then the images flash by faster and faster, interspersed with a few pictures that the video creator wants everyone to see. Because the frame rate is too fast, it will deceive our eyes and leave the images and feelings in our subconscious.

People who are easily influenced by suggestion may recall images that we 'saw' but were unaware of, and then be advertised as having the ability to communicate with spirits or see gods, Buddhas, or even heaven.

In fact, most of them are fake.

"Most of them?" Lu Xinnan seized on the key point he made and asked curiously, "What do you do in real life? You know so much, are you an expert in this field?"

He gently rubbed his fingers and said softly, "The world we live in is actually quite different from what most people see and understand. I don't have a job; to be precise, I'm not affiliated with any organization or official position. I'm a freelancer."

If you can still remember what happened here after returning to reality, please do not explore any more so-called unsolved mysteries.

Ninety-nine percent of what the public encounters is fake; if you accidentally come into contact with the remaining one percent, the consequences will be more serious than you imagine.

"Oh my God!" After a long moment of shock, she clutched her heart and said thankfully, "If the video I saw was problematic, thankfully only I watched it and the children didn't see it. Otherwise..."

I must remember this well: after being reborn, I must suppress my curiosity and live a down-to-earth life!

To be honest, the system we're linked to has very limited functionality.

It sleeps all day long and rarely chats; it can only stay by the host's side and cannot move freely; it can only explain the tasks issued by the main system and doesn't even have a predictive function..."

Jiang Chen: ? ? ? !!!

"Was Sister Lu referring to your auxiliary system just now?"

"Aren't all our systems the same? They even have a forum where they can post, chat, and vent, but we, as laborers, don't even have a chance to communicate."

As expected, I don't have the protagonist's fate; even being tied to a system makes a world of difference.

Other people's systems can only follow the host? They lack predictive capabilities?

What's the story with the little white cat?

Although it can't be of much help, it always hops around everywhere...

"Sister Lu, have you read the script?" Remembering her complaint about the auxiliary system not having a prediction function, Jiang Chen asked tentatively, "The one you got in the script selection space."

Lu Xinnan was also confused. "Aren't the scripts arranged by the auxiliary system? Can we choose them ourselves?"

Then, her face flushed with anger, she asked, "Duoduo! Why is it always you who chooses instead of me?"

"Choosing scripts according to the host's abilities is my duty." The little panda lazily raised its paw and said disdainfully in a childish boy's voice, "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's definitely made up to sow discord!"

"I was chosen as the best auxiliary system by the main system, why would I deceive the host?"

“I’ve never read the script.” Lu Xinnan looked at Jiang Chen solemnly and said, “Every time, the auxiliary system takes the script away after making a selection, and only tells me the basic world background.”

The remaining memories can be received after entering the mission world.

After the main system releases the task, Duoduo will help me explain and analyze it to avoid ambiguity. All I need to do is complete the task as quickly and perfectly as possible to get the reward.

really!

Xiaobai is the special one!

No wonder there seemed to be a problem with the script once, which said not to let the host find out or something... But that memory was really blurry, and he couldn't remember it very clearly.

According to Lu Xinnan, the right to choose and view the script belongs to the auxiliary system, which explains it!

Why is Xiaobai so special?

Does it know it?

After thinking about it, Jiang Chen felt that it was most likely unaware of this. After all, he had previously worried about being monitored by the auxiliary systems of other hosts, which meant that the little white cat itself did not know that it was different from other auxiliary systems.

The problem with the script might stem from the kitten not paying attention during training, leading to having to consult emergency manuals when encountering issues. It seems that selecting scripts and deciding whether or not to give them to the host should be a more flexible approach?

Having only Lu Xinnan as a reference doesn't prove anything. What if her system is just too lazy and deliberately fooling her?

Jiang Chen decided that after finding the next contestant, he would try to get some information out of them to find out the problem with the auxiliary system.

Chapter Seventeen: Let's Transform into a Catgirl

After chatting for a while, the two exchanged information about their backgrounds and the news they had received after entering the mission world.

Unlike Jiang Chen's choice, Lu Xinnan, who was very self-aware, directly chose the simple mode. Her identity was that of a tragic orphan girl on a level four planet.

The original owner came from a wealthy family and was pampered by her parents, living a carefree and smooth life.

When she was in college, the boy she liked also liked her, and the two quickly became an enviable, perfect couple.

However, fate is unpredictable. The original owner's father passed away unexpectedly shortly after graduating from university, and her mother fell ill after the shock and soon passed away as well.

Before she passed away, she entrusted her daughter to a tall, handsome boy from a similar social class.

When Lu Xinnan transmigrated, the two had been married for several years without having children. The other party had already taken over the original owner's property through various means and was having an affair with the family's maid, trying to squeeze the original owner, this naive and innocent girl, out of the house with nothing.

Her mission is to stage a comeback, wrest the property back from the scumbag, and bring the arrogant nanny back to her original state after she took advantage of the original owner's position.

The main quest, which posed no danger, was easily completed with just two small items, thanks to Lu Xinnan's ample inventory of props.

She reclaimed the property that belonged to the original owner and broadcast the despicable acts and malicious plans of the scumbag and the maid online, ruining their reputations.

She quickly sold her assets to use as capital, upgraded her chips all the way, and finally arrived at the main star, waiting and searching for Jiang Chen according to the prompts of the props.

Because she chose the easiest starting point, Lu Xinnan only received one clue: There are four types of invading teams in the Death Galaxy, with the Undead Mechs being the highest level.

"The clues I obtained are hard to describe. Sister Lu, you'll see for yourself." Jiang Chen took out the deep blue crystal from the system space and handed it to her. "Hold it and close your eyes, and you will see my clues."

Lu Xinnan closed her eyes and felt a wave of dizziness as she grasped the deep blue crystal with her slender, fair right hand.

Then many bright, sparkling spots appeared in my "sight".

They floated and quickly coalesced into an elliptical shape resembling a galaxy. However, unlike the brilliance of ordinary galaxies, one half of the galaxy in the picture shimmered with bright silver, while the other half was pitch black like a black hole.

The two forces rotated slowly, with the bright silver outputting and the jet-black absorption.

They burst forth with countless flexible lines, like snakes, connecting to countless tiny dots. As she tried to "see" those tiny dots clearly, the "camera" suddenly zoomed in, and one by one, "warriors" shrouded in stark white bones appeared clearly in the picture.

After a long while, Lu Xinnan, pale-faced, opened her eyes and returned the crystal to Jiang Chen. "Your main quest sounds simple, but it must have been incredibly difficult to obtain such detailed clues!"

They've practically figured out everything about the Death Galaxy!

I only know there are four types of armies, with the undead mechs being the most powerful and probably the scariest-looking one at the end.

Passing the assessment to obtain a third-class merit is extremely difficult!

"The difficulty isn't in achieving merit, but in helping the galaxy win the war." Jiang Chen put away the crystal and analyzed, "If the galactic war is lost, everyone will fail the assessment."

Hopefully, some contestants will take this factor into account when they are fighting amongst themselves.

The more hosts there are in the battle, the greater the chance of winning. If someone hunts other hosts for pleasure, or wants to kill others to obtain all the clues and win... then we must find a way to eliminate them.

Lu Xinnan tucked her hair behind her ear, shrugged, and smiled, "It's up to you. You're the captain, so I'll listen to you."

"Oh, right, I have another question for Sister Lu." As she got up to leave, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked seriously, "Can the auxiliary system grow up and take on a human form to help?"
