Chapter 1582 - 1537: The Great Comeback of the Salted Fish 8

As soon as Anning heard that Gai Ling’s system had awakened, she immediately became alert.

"How is it?"

An Xin explained to Anning, "That system is not bad, considered relatively good among the inferior systems. Of course, it can’t compare to how high-end and classy I am, but it’s fairly advanced. The system issues tasks to the host to acquire certain traits and luck from related people. Some of those traits are shared with the host, and any luck is absorbed by the system to enhance itself."

"Is it its first time issuing tasks, or has it already visited several worlds?"

Anning looked down at her vivid red nails, contemplating inwardly while questioning An Xin verbally.

"I hacked into its database and found out it has already visited several worlds and caused harm to many people."

While An Xin spoke, she showed Anning the information she retrieved from Xiao Lu’s database. After looking it over, Anning frowned, "Why do I feel like this system is a product of the Main God’s side?"

An Xin had the same feeling.

Anning thought for a moment, "No matter if it is or not, we are set on acquiring the system’s energy."

"That’s for sure. Encountering an advanced system, who wouldn’t want it?" An Xin clenched her fist, "Absorbing it would be avenging the people it harmed."

After expressing determination, An Xin asked Anning, "So what should we do now?"

Anning blinked, "Of course, implant a virus. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures countless victories."

"Implant a virus?" An Xin was still not quite clear.

Anning had An Xin open her backdoor, then infiltrated An Xin’s database, and quietly invaded Xiao Lu’s database through An Xin’s. While modifying the data, she said, "First, I want to create a shared system, but it’s a one-sided share. We will share Gai Ling’s system, but her system will absolutely not detect the modifications and can’t share my database."

An Xin laughed.

She also felt quite happy.

"Alright, the shared data setup is complete."

Anning continued working with a smile, "Next, we’ll implant the virus, which will allow us to modify the system data. For now, I’ll make a little adjustment and add a punishment program. If Gai Ling can’t complete the tasks, she’ll receive various punishments."

"That’s great, of course, rewards and punishments make sense." An Xin clapped happily.

Xiao Yuan knocked on the door outside.

While rapidly implanting the virus, Anning said, "Come in."

Xiao Yuan pushed open the door and walked in. He stood beside Anning for a while and only sat down after Anning finished her work, "So, the system appeared?"

Anning nodded, getting up from the bed, "It just appeared. I already hacked its database, modified some information, and implanted a virus."

"By the way." Anning clapped her hands and sat down again, "I’ll modify it some more to open the system to you, so you can also share the system. If it issues any tasks, whoever has the time between us can stop it."

"Alright."

Xiao Yuan sat beside Anning, who closed her eyes, working hard to modify the data through An Xin’s database.

After a while, Anning opened her eyes, beaming with joy, "It’s done."

Anning instructed An Xin, "Transmit some data to A Yuan."

She held Xiao Yuan’s hand, and An Xin swiftly transmitted a small wave of data to Xiao Yuan, establishing a subsystem in him, allowing him to share Xiao Lu.

Having completed everything, Anning felt confident.

She smiled at Xiao Yuan and said, "I just looked through Xiao Lu’s database. Gai Ling has set me as a related person, trying to steal my Beauty Value."

Huh?

Xiao Yuan touched Anning’s face, "We better be careful then, can’t let her take even a tiny bit."

Anning proudly lifted her chin, "That’s for sure, I’m quite satisfied with this face, wouldn’t want anyone to take it. Even if I’m not vain, I don’t want to be an ugly woman. Besides, the system also wants to steal my Qi Fortune, which is not acceptable. Since they want to steal, they shouldn’t blame others for fighting back."

"I was planning to take some time to go out and train, but for now... let’s wait, until we accept Ming Yue, settle Gai Ling, and then head out together to train, and perhaps search for your parents." Xiao Yuan softly said, embracing Anning.

Anning nodded, "Yes, after dealing with Gai Ling, I need to search for my parents seriously. They haven’t sent any news for so many years."

Just as Anning finished speaking, a voice transmission came from outside, "Senior Sister Yu, the Sect Leader requests you to go to the Soul Calming Hall."

Anning abruptly stood up; a bad premonition filled her heart.

"I’ll accompany you."

Xiao Yuan took Anning’s hand, and the two of them quickly flew to the Soul Calming Hall.

Upon entering, Anning first searched for her parents’ soul lamps, only to find that the two soul lamps had already extinguished.

"What happened?"

Anning took a few steps towards the soul lamps and collapsed there with weakened legs.

Chi Hezi came over to support Anning, "The disciple guarding the soul lamps reported that two lamps unexpectedly extinguished without any reason. By the time I arrived, they were already like this."

Anning held the soul lamps in her hands, tears streaming down incessantly.

"Ningning, don’t be too sad."

Chi Hezi patted Anning’s shoulder, "My condolences."

Holding the soul lamps, Anning stood up, "Master, I understand. Actually, my parents haven’t returned for decades, I had already prepared for their passing, but when it truly happened, I still can’t accept it."

She held the soul lamps and walked out.

Xiao Yuan bowed to Chi Hezi and quickly followed.

Chi Hezi sighed, and a hint of sadness flickered in his eyes.

Even though his emotions had become much more subdued, he still felt a tinge of sorrow for the passing of two juniors who had accompanied him for over a thousand years.

Anning took the soul lamps to her cave mansion, setting them down and staying in the cave for two days before emerging.

By this time, Gai Ling had already become familiar with the matters of the Cang Mountain Sect.

She spent two days reading the comprehensive guide to the Cultivation World and the Cang Mountain Sect’s rules. Then, she began learning cultivation techniques, intent on cultivating.

On this day, Xiao Lu finally issued the first task.

"Host, please go to the spiritual medicine garden and earn the garden guard’s favor to receive spiritual medicine from him. Completing the task will increase Beauty Value by one."

Hearing this, Gai Ling immediately became delighted.

She’s not afraid of tasks; she’s only afraid of not having tasks. For the sake of beauty, she’s willing to take on many tasks and quickly snatch away Senior Sister Yu’s Beauty Value.

"Alright." Gai Ling agreed.

Meanwhile, a small screen appeared in front of both Anning and Xiao Yuan, displaying the task issued by Xiao Lu.

Anning was already in a foul mood, so such a thing coming to her doorstep for an outlet, she naturally wouldn’t hesitate.

Anning immediately added a line to the task: upon task failure, the person must run around the spiritual medicine garden once, shouting ’I’m a stupid pig’ while running.
