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

Bai Chen narrowed his eyes, recalled the location of the city's mobile network equipment center, and sent the stone statue to the sky to check the situation in that area.

The orange flames rose and twisted, occasionally appearing as if there were slight explosions.

Bai Chen's expression became even more somber as he quickly reviewed the last piece of information the Black Serpent had given him.

As he predicted, the mobile city network equipment center had become the core battlefield during the recent conflict, resulting in severe damage to a large number of city network facilities and rendering the city's mobile network unusable.

Now, there's only one place left where one can have a widespread voice—

—Ursa National Television.

Or, to put it another way, it was an emergency broadcast from Ursus National Television.

That broadcast system, inherently legitimate, was used by the mobile city to issue notices to all residents in times of emergency.

The message broadcast from that radio station naturally carried an air of authority and legitimacy for Chernobog's rule.

Chernobog, or Ursus, will only activate it under two conditions:

1. During wartime, the city hall is used to issue emergency notices and orders.

Second, when it is predicted that a natural disaster is about to strike, the mobile city needs to be urgently moved, and everyone in the city is notified to take emergency evacuation.

That broadcast was rarely used, but every time it was activated, it signified the issuance of important government decrees. After so many years of peace, for the residents of Chernobog, it meant more of an impending natural disaster for the city.

The dungeon in space 121 is still empty!

Broadcasts on Ursus National Television also signify a habit.

It's a habit that has developed in this place where natural disasters occur and a behemoth like the Mobile City is needed to carry the entire city to safety in emergencies.

Habits that are closely related to life and survival.

The moment the broadcast started, everyone in Chernobog stopped what they were doing and listened intently to every word on the radio.

Bai Chen realized that Rhodes Island didn't want to leave. That organization, which had a large number of beautiful girls and claimed to be a medical enterprise, even wanted to make a big splash in Chernobog.

What is Rhodes Island trying to do?

Bai Chen couldn't quite understand what Rhodes Island, under that doctor's leadership, was trying to do. Rhodes Island had no reason to remain in Chernobog; withdrawal was the wisest choice for them.

He pondered for a moment and could only interpret it as Rhodes Island, an organization that had always wanted to rescue the infected, wanting to get involved and take a dominant position in the future changes in Ursus after Ursus implemented its national policy of caring for the infected and restoring their power.

Bai Chen was still unaware of the unknown changes, which forced Rhodes Island to remain in Chernobog. Later, when they tried to evacuate everyone, they were forced to participate in the turmoil within the city.

Bai Chen tapped his forehead with his fist and sighed softly.

He was genuinely starting to consider giving up the struggle.

Tired, really tired.

I might as well give up and stop struggling, and just give up on fighting against this broken system.

Rhodes Island can leave if they want, and if they can't, they can stay and be his little maids.

No, it would be better to lock up such a large group of disobedient young girls in a dungeon to reflect on their lives.

The evil dungeon behind the luxurious carriage is currently empty, making it a perfect place to imprison someone, wouldn't you say?

Capture the beautiful girls of Rhodes Island, and let... well, let Early Dew teach them little by little how to be good maids.

"You're slacking off again!"

The system temporarily stopped its endless, noise-warrior-like shouting and, in the form of an eight-headed, two-dimensional anime girl, stood with its hands on its hips, glaring angrily at Bai Chen.

"You're trying to let the pretty girl escape again!"

She bit her cherry lips, her eyes wide open, her beautiful eyes filled with a misty haze and flashing with angry fire.

"Ah, right, right, it's like I'm deliberately letting the beautiful girl escape."

Bai Chen shrugged at the virtual beautiful girl created by the system, "System, don't you think there are too many beautiful girls? So many that I don't even have time to deal with them all."

Before the system could yell at him, it continued, seemingly to itself:

"Tong-chan, my dear Tong-chan, think about it, a person only has twenty-four hours in a day. Even if I can deal with one beautiful girl every 60 minutes, I can only deal with twenty-four beautiful girls a day at most."

The virtual girl created by the system wrapped her arms around her chest, raised an eyebrow, and muttered:

"Isn't that what a good succubus should be like? Power and money are not as important as beautiful girls. Besides, my dear succubus princess doesn't lack those things. I, this hardworking and useless system, have arranged everything for you. My dear succubus princess, just go and invite beautiful girls to a party."

"No, it's the commander."

Bai Chen shook his head at the system and said confidently:

"What I mean is, I want to have more time, like, not just twenty hours a day. I want to have more time to play with Mudrock and Frostnova, to live a life full of joy, happiness, and bliss, but also to have time to flirt with other beautiful girls. Yes, to have a passionate romance with them."

"Ho~"

The system curled its lip in disdain, its pretty face full of contempt. "You have time for a passionate romance? Save it. If you said you were going to have a passionate affair with a beaded doll, maybe I would be willing to be fooled."

Her face practically screamed, "I can tell right away you're trying to trick me out of my abilities again."

"Hmph~ No way, absolutely not. I won't fall for it again this time."

The system huffed and puffed, "This system has been upgraded! The version has been updated! We no longer provide that kind of service. If you want the system to continue providing special services, you'll have to please the system and match it with beautiful girls, and even more beautiful girls!"

This broken system is going through its rebellious phase again!

Bai Chen nodded, silently got up and returned to the luxurious carriage, his manner suggesting he wanted to plunge into the back space to live a life of nightly revelry and daily debauchery with the beautiful girls.

"Huh?! Wait a minute, my dear succubus queen, where are you going?"

"Go hang out with pretty girls."

"What about Nightingale, Shining, and Nearl?"

The system was getting anxious.

She was panicking! She was panicking! She was panicking!

"I don't have time, I have to go spend time with the pretty girl now."

Bai Chen shrugged at the system.

"Don't you have time stop?"

The system started shouting loudly.

“I don’t like being stuck in one place. I like a way of playing that allows me to slowly explore and enjoy watching them gradually move towards the pearl’s fall.”

"You're just trying to scam me out of my abilities!"

The system shouted loudly.

"Oh right, just tell me if you're going to give it to me or not?"

Bai Chen reached out to the system that was so easy to bully.

After staring at Bai Chen for a while, the system, with its puffed-up cheeks, deflated sheepishly.

"Alright. Upgrade the [Succubus] main ability and the [Time Stop Series] ability, and I'll help you solve the problem of not having enough time."

Her eyes widened suddenly, and she raised her voice as high as she could to say, "This is the bottom line! The bottom line! You can't keep taking advantage of me like this!"

Bottom line?

Bai Chen pursed his lips.

This bottom line has been lowered time and again. In the beginning, instead of going after pretty girls, he just brandished his little fists and made threats.

Sooner or later, this broken system will have to work for it and educate it until it's overflowing with knowledge and skills if it wants to find beautiful girls.

Having received the system's promise, Bai Chen once again used a large number of accumulated points to upgrade the [Succubus]'s level.

"What, are you going to level up that many levels all at once this time?"

Bai Chen frowned in confusion.

"Things involving time definitely need to be handled at a higher level!"

"System said loudly."

"Too."

Bai Chen nodded slightly, agreeing with the system's assessment. This seemingly simple-minded and foolish system was indeed an easy target for bullying.

122 Job change and promotion!

Ding ding ding ding—ding ding!

The sound of the upgrade echoed in Bai Chen's ears. He frowned again and checked the changes in his attributes. He found that the [Succubus] ability still increased his pheromones and seduction abilities, and occasionally boosted his physical and mental strength.

Other enhancement effects... this crappy ability really doesn't increase at all!

It was so pure that it reminded Bai Chen of the sect master skill in Fantasy Westward Journey, which was basically useless except for deliberately consuming the player's experience points and in-game currency, and you still had to upgrade it.

"Tong-chan, where's my new ability?"

Bai Chen questioned the system.

"Keep raising the price? You want time-related abilities for such a small amount?"

The system raised an eyebrow, its tone nonchalant. "To be a good succubus, one with unlimited time to accompany beautiful girls and the ability to find new ones, isn't that simple~ Besides, the newbie period is over. From now on, the system won't be easily fooled or misled by you!"

Bai Chen disagreed.

His broken system always says that, but every time he ends up easily gaining new abilities from it.

Bai Chen continued to invest the system points he had accumulated into [Succubus]. He actually had a lot of system points, but because the [Succubus] ability was holding back his other abilities from upgrading, he didn't want to upgrade this useless ability, so he kept accumulating points until now.

This strange ability, if leveled up high enough, might just lead to beautiful girls waving at him on the street, their eyes full of affection, saying, "Hey handsome, wanna take me out to play? We can do some fun things!"

It feels terrible to think about it.

But things are different now. He's seen through it all and is too lazy to struggle anymore. So be it.

Anyway, whether he levels up or not, with this stupid system whose mind is only filled with beautiful girls, his life will definitely be filled with beautiful girls.

He couldn't even dodge them, and he couldn't push them away. The beautiful girls would come to him one by one, just like Rhodes Island, giving themselves away for free.

Even if given the chance to escape, they would still stay, eagerly waiting for him to bestow pearls upon them one by one.

Go ahead and level up, go ahead and level up as you like. Once you're up, you might be able to quickly deal with the pretty girl and buy yourself some time to handle other issues.

In a sudden instant, Bai Chen felt a 'buzz' explode in his mind, and the whole world became upside down and distorted. After a short while, he suddenly felt that the world in front of him had become different, and it had become exceptionally clear.

It's like someone with severe myopia who has never worn glasses before suddenly putting on glasses and examining a strange yet familiar high-definition world.
