The male supporting character was actually myself.

"Unless we try an astral projection and travel through the universe to find our way back, if my girlfriend and I really escaped here disguised as humans, we definitely wouldn't use something like a UFO that's easy to spot. We'd most likely travel through the universe directly with our souls, just like the Fallen Predator."

"The key question is... even if one's soul travels freely, the universe is so vast, which direction would one go?"

“I don’t know either.” Jiang Chen shook his head with a helpless look. “The information left by the energy stone is very important—no matter what, the other party will not kill me, at most they will make me lose my memory. This is probably why I suddenly became eight years old twenty years ago. The advantage is that if this is true, my margin for error is very high, but the disadvantage is that once I fail, I have to start a new account.”

Chengze, I'm giving you a task.

If this attempt fails and I never return, immediately search the entire world for my new self. Most likely, I'll still be called Jiang Chen… or they'll test my soul strength. In short, find me and give me the map I drew so I can continue my search for the way back to headquarters.”

Li Chengze was startled and hurriedly waved his hand, saying, "You can't make a decision to act lightly now. First of all, the Soul Weapon is still mending the sky. If you make any mistake, the army outside will rush in."

Secondly, Prop, as a Fallen Predator, has lingered here for so long, yet the world barrier has never repelled him. This indicates that once the world barrier breaks, things like the laws of heaven or the will of the world become ineffective, and once the Soul Eaters invade, the entire world will soon be annihilated…”

Jiang Chen: (???)?

The army of corrupt predators is watching closely, and I don't have a capable assistant to hold them off. It's a real headache!

He was caught between a rock and a hard place, with wolves in front and tigers behind, and struggled for a long time with the question of whether to stay or leave.

When the first snow fell in Angu City, Jiang Chen stood by the window watching Prop, who had left his soul imprint and could never betray him again, happily playing in the snow. He took a sip of the hot coffee in his hand and sighed softly.

Staying here will bring temporary peace to the world, but what about the future?

I haven't mastered the technology to switch bodies. What will happen when this body ages and can no longer support the power of my soul? No matter how rapidly technology develops, it takes time and cannot be achieved overnight. Even if we wait another one or two hundred years, it will be impossible to find a weapon that can resist the army of fallen predators.

They have been holding firm outside the world's barriers and even want to open a new door; it's only a matter of time before they break in.

But what if we really have to leave to pursue unknown mysteries and can't come back? Won't the Horcruxes go out of control? What if the army of Fallen Predators comes rushing in then?

It's so difficult to make a decision when weighing the two options.

Unfortunately, those depraved predators are all fanatics. Once they set their sights on this world, they refuse to give up and relentlessly try to conquer it. Their own ability to control the Horcruxes is limited, and they have no way to deal with them.

"Master is in a bad mood, which will affect your sleep quality tonight." Propp, who had a great day playing in the snow, comforted her cozy little nest in the cold winter and said, "How about I sing you a lullaby? The music of soul waves can soothe a tired soul and help you sleep more soundly!"

After washing up and putting on her pajamas, Jiang Chen thought for a moment, nodded and smiled, "Okay, then sing me a lullaby. We've been together for so long, and I've never heard Propp sing before."

It lowered its head and smiled shyly, "I sang very clumsily, I'm just glad my owner doesn't mind."

Outside the window, the cold wind howled, and the streetlights seemed to have dimmed slightly due to the low temperature. In the warm and cozy bedroom with the thick curtains drawn, Jiang Chen turned off the lights and lay on the bed, quietly listening to the faint, deep singing of Prop nestled in her little nest.

"The vast and boundless universe is filled with countless wandering souls in its boundless void. The journey lies in the endless distance, where sweet fruits await to reward the long and arduous journey..."

The deep resonance of the soul produced an invisible vibration that slowly dissipated in the air, penetrating the buildings and drifting outwards.

Jiang Chen drifted off to sleep, seemingly having a very long dream. In the dream, he led a vast, indistinct army on a long journey through the vast and deep universe, not knowing where their destination was, just drifting aimlessly, drifting, drifting...

"Damn! How did I... again..." Jiang Chen, who was floating in his dream, suddenly woke up and found that he had unknowingly broken free of his body and his entire soul was floating in mid-air!

Before he could react and quickly return to his body, a bright light suddenly flashed in the void, as if opening a door that did not exist. A strong suction force forcibly dragged him inside!

"Biu!" The door appeared and disappeared in just half a second, and Jiang Chen's soul vanished from the spot.

Downstairs, Prop, already half asleep, was still humming the lullaby of the Fallen Predator, completely unaware that the other's soul had already departed...

Chapter One: Return

"Purr~ Purr~ Meow, plop plop..." The choice script space, which is now so broken that only half of it remains, is quite like an eggshell that has been broken and then discarded.

A huge and terrifying "eye" is exposed directly above, seemingly staring intently at the crumbling space, trying to uncover the secrets hidden within.

A tiny, fist-sized ball of fluff curled up and made soft purring sounds, occasionally smacking its lips as if dreaming of something delicious.

"Waaaah... Host..." The fluffy little ball rolled over in its dream, its furry little feet obviously unable to support its round body, kicking twice and rolling around before waking up with a start.

It looked up at the approaching, terrifying eyes, its fur standing on end, and cursed in a soft, childish voice, "Just hurry up and destroy it! Can't you just give me a quick death? Stop dawdling like this, I can't even eat...eat poop hot! Humph! I'm not scared, I'm going to keep sleeping!"

After puffing up its fur to bolster its courage, it curled up into a ball and peeked at the remaining space barrier from under its furry little paws.

Ever since the host was sent away from the script selection space, this space has been constantly collapsing.

But now the process of breaking and falling has stopped. The little white cat tilted its head and thought for a moment, wondering what had happened.

"Sigh, I'm still not smart enough." It sighed, losing its appetite for sleep. Bored, it scratched its left foot with its right and muttered to itself, "If my host were here, he would definitely be able to guess what's going on."

"Waaaaah~ Host, I miss you so much! Where are you now and what are you doing? It's such a pity I can't leave this space, otherwise I could hop around and run to find you like before... tsk." The fluffy dumpling sighed, gave up scratching its feet, and then listlessly started playing with its fluffy tail.

[Attention all auxiliary systems: The main system has been attacked and is undergoing self-repair and system upgrade... Auxiliary systems, please report your respective host status. Auxiliary systems that have detected a dead host will be tallied and await reassignment of a new host. Auxiliary systems with healthy hosts will continue to assist in completing their tasks.]

Note: To save energy, the number of scripts may be reduced during the main system upgrade. Please adjust your work schedules for auxiliary systems accordingly.

Work plan?!

The little white cat finally received the message from the main system, but before it could even feel happy, it was completely bewildered.

The auxiliary system even has its own work plan? Why don't I have one?

Oh right, I have a super awesome host who takes care of everything, so I don't need to worry about it...

"Oh no!" The little white cat was just about to lie down and continue its nap. Anyway, the crisis was over and the main system was back online and starting to repair itself. The space shouldn't collapse and it wouldn't perish with the collapse. Its mood had just relaxed a little when it tensed up again.

How do you calculate the cost to your own host?

He didn't die from the attack, but he was sent away after expending almost all of his energy...

How can this be done?

I can't report deaths, I can't tell the truth, and I don't have a host to guide me through missions. This is a huge problem!

If the main system finds out that I violated the rules by sending the host who should be doing the task back without my permission, it will be destroyed, right?

The little white cat became more and more frightened, and paced around anxiously!

Originally, I thought I was doomed and spent many years in the mission world devising this perfect plan to send my host out. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and the main system recovered. Now, how am I supposed to explain this? Should I tell the truth, report myself, and send myself for destruction?

"No, no! I'm still young, I don't want to die! I... I still want to change jobs and become an even better system for the host." The fluffy little dumpling trembled as it checked the job change records. Although the data hadn't been restored yet, its ranking compared to the host's was clearly below standard.

What can I do if I don't want to be destroyed but have no host to do missions with?

If the main system detects the problem after too long, the investigation department will be sent to investigate, and the truth will be revealed, leading to complete failure!

"What should I do? What should I do?!" The timid and cowardly little ball of fluff muttered to itself, clutching its head in a corner. Suddenly, it heard a familiar voice behind it, "Little White, are you alright?"

Fluffy dumpling: !!(o'?'o)?o????

Host, my lord?!

No, that's impossible. I must be hallucinating.

Could it really be the host? Why is he back again? Did the main system catch him again?!

Unable to believe her ears yet still clinging to hope, the little white cat trembled uncontrollably as she slowly turned her head to look. Sure enough, it was the familiar figure she had been longing for day and night!

"Host!" The fluffy little dumpling couldn't hold back any longer, jumped over and buried her face in his arms, wailing, "Waaah... I missed you so much, Host!"

After crying twice, it suddenly stood up and punched Jiang Chen's chest with its little paws, crying and cursing, "You big idiot, how did you get caught again? Didn't we agree to live well? Why did you have to come back? The main system might not be able to repair itself. If you get attacked again, I won't have the strength to send you out again, waaaah... you big idiot!"

Jiang Chen looked at the fluffy little ball in her arms, which had shrunk to the size of her fist, and her eyes welled up with tears as she hugged it tightly. "Little White, I missed you so much too."

The previously boisterous little white cat instantly broke down upon hearing these words, clinging to his neck and crying even harder.

"Host, were you captured and brought back by the main system?" After crying for a while, the fluffy little dumpling asked, sobbing.

Jiang Chen recalled for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, "It really wasn't that. This was probably an accident. But don't worry, I'll be safe when I return. The main system will be fine, and you won't be destroyed. If I need to leave this space, I can do it myself. But..."

He paused, looked intently into the little white cat's deep blue eyes, and solemnly said, "If you want to leave, I will find a way to take you with me!"

"Meow~" The fluffy ball was moved to tears again, wiped away its tears and laughed, "Then we have to hurry up and do the mission. If we take too long, the main system will find out and send the review department over. We won't have a single medal and we'll be exposed."

“Well, there’s plenty of time to talk once we get to the mission world.” Jiang Chen looked up and stared directly at the giant eye through the remaining half of the “eggshell.” His powerful soul could instantly sense that it was alive!

The Horcrux cheered and tried to rush up to absorb the energy, but was blocked by something invisible.

Feeling the "touch" coming from it, Jiang Chen guessed that after the world barrier was repaired in reality, the main system's protective barrier was also restored, so the threatening and powerful eyeball could no longer cause damage to the main system.

Naturally, the Horcrux cannot take this opportunity to secretly absorb the other party's energy.

It seems that the reason the Soul Weapon was able to absorb power so smoothly in the past was probably because the Fallen Predator would occasionally create small loopholes in the World Barrier while damaging it, allowing the Soul Weapon to absorb power. However, the World Barrier has a strong self-repairing ability, and the two sides are constantly pulling against each other.

Until recently, a huge hole was completely torn in!

Now that the safety hazard has temporarily disappeared, the Soul Weapon likely has little chance of increasing its energy. If it can still grow after leaving the dungeon, it means there might be some special energy within the main system that it can absorb…

Everything is just speculation; we need to find evidence to corroborate it.

Fortunately, even when he enters the virtual world, he can still sense and command the Horcruxes left in reality, ensuring that everything is safe and sound in the real world where almost no time passes.

Since we're already here, why not go look for bugs and girlfriends in the virtual world? Maybe we can get clues about the headquarters map from them!

The fluffy little ball of fluff has never liked to think, so it was relieved that its host said it was okay.

Then, glancing at the few scripts floating beside it, it pointed with its furry little paw and asked, "The main system is currently undergoing self-repair and system upgrades, so there are only a handful of scripts available. What kind of mission world would you like to visit, Host?"

"Any one will do." Jiang Chen didn't have any particular interest or preference, and simply picked up the script closest to him.

The cover is a dull gray, with a figure in black and red power armor appearing and disappearing. Behind him floats shimmering ribbons filled with various packaged supplies, giving the overall style a lighthearted feel.

Jiang Chen opened the script and read it carefully, while the little white cat poked its tiny, fluffy head over to watch the excitement.

This is a post-apocalyptic story about traveling between two worlds.

The protagonist, Chen Luoqi, was originally just a low-level employee in the modern world who was not happy with his life and work. One day, he made a mistake in a batch of goods orders and was scolded by his short-tempered boss. In a fit of anger, he resigned and left.

Back in his rented shabby room, Chen Luoqi was met by his beautiful widowed landlady who came to collect the rent. Penniless, Chen Luoqi could only pretend to be dead inside. However, the beautiful landlady had obviously been fooled many times before and kept peeking through the window with the curtains open. To avoid her, Chen Luoqi had no choice but to crawl under the dusty bed that hadn't been cleaned since he moved in.

By sheer chance, he discovered a mysterious little box in a corner covered in cobwebs.

Thus, the chosen one, Chen Luoqi, pressed the button above and was transported to another world—the wasteland.

As the male protagonist, he naturally couldn't start off with a low-level character, landing in a dangerous and chaotic wasteland. So, he was lucky enough to appear directly in the same location in different spaces of the corresponding small, run-down rental house—a huge, fully equipped, and well-stocked safe house.

Chen Luoqi learns about the overall world setting from this safe house and the diary left by the original owner, and then begins his happy life as a middleman between the two worlds.

A sassy and powerful female bodyguard with a large bust, dressed in a black leather jacket;

A little genius girl in a long white dress with long, straight black hair;

A tall, healthy-looking female gang leader with a wild and beautiful appearance;

A shrewd and sophisticated female secretary in business attire beside a city's powerful figure...

Every beautiful woman encountered in the wasteland is irresistibly drawn to the male protagonist's possessions: a packet of instant noodles, a bottle of cola, or even a bag of spicy strips brought from the real world. With the help of a mysterious time machine, Chen Luoqi quickly builds a harem and climbs the ranks of high-ranking officials, living a life of power and privilege in the wasteland.

In reality, there are also classic scenes of showing off.

First, he brought back a large amount of gold and silver jewelry from the wasteland, and quickly became a rich man by selling it. He slapped his beautiful landlady and former company boss in the face, and then humiliated the boss for not being pretty. He had once pursued the daughter of his but was ignored when he didn't want to work hard. She cried and begged to be Chen Luoqi's concubine, but was kicked away.
