I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

"Boss, our goal from the beginning was to create a 'bead-corruption' scheme, to make every beautiful girl join the 'bead-corruption lament'! We never dated before; once we found a beautiful girl, we would immediately go find another one."

He paused, then reached for a bottle of iced cola and took a sip.

A space that defies all reason, a world where space itself changes, he can conjure anything he desires at will—

——Except beautiful girls.

To deal with a beautiful girl who has a protective mechanism, he still has to use a stick to get rid of her.

"Besides, didn't I accompany Mudrock shopping and buy her new clothes? I also comforted her, made up the illusion that her teammates were still alive, arranged for people to reply to the letters she sent out through messengers, and brewed Originium Bug beer with her."

"Well, and when she pleads for those Rhodes Island guys, I'll spare them from eternal hell for her sake. When I have nothing else to do, I'll go check on her tinkering with clay and making figurines..."

Bai Chen rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought. "Ah~ right, if it weren't for that piece of trash like you constantly yelling at me to find beautiful girls and build a huge harem, a lazy, pleasure-seeking guy like me wouldn't be running around the world and taking her back to the countryside to get married."

He nodded slightly, swirling the iced cola in his hand as if drinking red wine or champagne. "So, Commander, it's all your fault."

The system neither agreed with nor denied this statement.

After a long while, the system said softly, "So, go see her when you have time. That's you... that's our last bit of humanity."

"us?"

"correct."

"You're getting more and more interesting to talk about."

Bai Chen scoffed, "Where would a system like you get humanity from?"

Yes, and it's the positive part.

Wow~ What a novel way of putting it.

Bai Chen waved his hand repeatedly at the system, "You piece of junk are really getting more and more neurotic. Alright, alright, alright, I still remember you're a broken system, an erotic system, a beautiful girl whose brain has nothing but pretty girls and lewd things."

"Because I am purely positive to the extreme."

The system said softly, "This is what emotions that have reached their extremes are like."

"Oh~"

Bai Chen responded in a drawn-out voice.

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt annoyed and found talking to this broken system extremely irritating.

Sure enough, it's better to keep this thing that's obsessed with pretty girls, love, and lewd things to itself.

Ideally, it should be the kind that's closed forever!

"All right."

Bai Chen stood up and waved at the system, "It's time to go mess around with Se Se again, how about it? Aren't you excited?"

"You're no longer aroused."

The system spoke softly in a very ethereal and sentimental voice: "Master, all you have left is sin, the sin of sinning."

Bai Chen stood there in a daze for a long time.

"Why the hell did this piece of junk suddenly pop out like that?"

"Master, I just wanted to tell you that an enemy is coming to interfere with us."

"Who? A fan of pretty girls? Oh, that's perfect timing, there aren't any audience members in my theater yet."

"No, it's your enemy, your eternal enemy."

System 252 is trying to shift the blame!

"enemy?"

Bai Chen scoffed, "Oh~ the enemy."

He rested his head on one hand and asked, "Is it that impressive?"

The system was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Very impressive."

Do you think I'll lose?

"will not."

The system immediately provided feedback.

"Oh~"

Bai Chen scoffed, "If you don't know how, why did you even bother to come all this way? Commander, are you just wasting your time? If you're so bored, why don't you come with me to watch this wonderful show I've designed?"

He pursed his lips and nodded vigorously, adopting a teasing tone, "The main characters are all beautiful girls~ The beautiful girl you like the most and value the most, the one you absolutely cannot let get hurt."

"That's why you should be wary of your enemies."

The system was silent for a moment, then said, "Aren't they all part of your harem? You should protect them from harm."

"Wow~ It sounds like the beautiful girl might die."

Bai Chen said excitedly, "That's great news!"

The system simply fell into a long silence.

Seeing that she didn't react, Bai Chen laughed heartily and said:

"Don't worry, I always keep my promises. If I said I would let them experience eternal joy, pleasure, and happiness, then I will let them experience eternal joy, pleasure, and happiness."

He paused, his tone becoming increasingly mocking and playful, "They can't even die, they can't even find release—never, never. They can't even completely abandon their souls. Beautiful girls should always maintain their 'self.' Otherwise, wouldn't punishment be a reward for them?"

The system seemed momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

After a long, long time, she finally whispered, "Okay."

"Do you think I'll ever change my mind about them? You can rest assured, never, ever~ They're destined to weep in eternal depravity, regret in reflection, and then watch helplessly as they succumb to their desires and gradually grovel before me."

Bai Chen finished his iced cola and casually tossed the bottle away.

"Don't you feel happy that there are always so many beautiful girls with us?"

"Yes."

The system seemed somewhat wistful, "At least, they will always be with you. With them here, this place will never become a twisted place like the male one. You will never only have a twisted and crazy side."

The system's words left Bai Chen speechless for a moment.

Yes, no matter what, the pretty girl won't really be in any danger.

so good.

It's so good it's annoying.

Bai Chen felt an inexplicable irritation once again.

He changed the subject, unwilling to continue discussing the topic of beautiful girls with the system.

It's rare to find someone to talk to, and it's such a shame that it keeps bringing up annoying topics like 'beautiful girls'.

When it comes to questions about pretty girls, just lie down and go to sleep.

Let's talk about more cheerful topics in our daily lives.

"The system."

Bai Chen propped his head up with one hand and lay down on his side. "The enemy that you came all the way here to inform me must be very strong, but why are you so sure that I will win?"

"Because you will definitely win."

"You've switched careers to become a riddle maker too?"

"No, the answer is that you will definitely win, otherwise this place will be nothingness."

The system's voice was soft but firm: "Time and space may not have concrete concepts here, but you are here precisely because you were destined to be born into this world."

She paused for a moment, then continued in a very distant voice: "In the subspace, the seeds of the future can be blown to the past to bloom, and the seeds that grow in the past can eventually grow into towering trees in the future."

"Oh."

Faced with the system's riddle, Bai Chen simply responded with a faint sound.

A long time ago, this broken system told him this riddle, seemingly in the Ursus tundra, or perhaps in a more ancient time.

So long ago that he couldn't even remember the exact time.

It seems to be on the Ursus tundra, or perhaps it was so far back that even this land did not exist.

Spending a long time in this space devoid of time and space, punishing or rewarding the beautiful girls, has made his memories of what happened extremely vague.

He could only be certain that those things had happened. But he was a little unclear about the specific time and the spatial dimension.

Perhaps this is because he is not strong enough yet.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, those things were mostly related to pretty girls.

"You've told this riddle before."

Bai Chen lay on the soft cushion and waved his hand.

He frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought. After a short while, or perhaps a long time, he finally spoke:

"Time is neither static nor linear. The past is not subject to interference from the future. Things can happen because they actually happened."

"Hmm~ It seems that's exactly what you said back then."

Bai Chen suddenly chuckled, "Right, back then, when I asked you why you were so weak, you said that the reason you were so weak was because you hadn't truly been born yet. Your true birth time is 36 thousand years from now."

"Do not."

The system corrected, "It's because you haven't truly been born yet, and haven't yet remembered your true name in the chaos."

"It sounds like that age."

"Different."

"Oh~"

Bai Chen chuckled softly, not delving deeper into the matter. "Tongzi, can't you speak properly instead of spouting riddles? What do those riddles mean? Or are they just nonsense you made up from the start, with no real understanding of their meaning?"

"It's not my riddle."

The system said softly, "I cannot comprehend that level of power, nor can I understand what made it possible. I am merely a seed sent back from the future, nothing more. This is the only way I can describe it and answer you, but you are the one who knows the answer best."
