Quick Transmigration: God of Slaughter? But He Calls Me Baby! - Chapter 34

[Qianzhou: Can you analyze it?]

[System 052: The world code is very complicated, and the amount to parse is huge. It would require at least 100,000 systems working simultaneously. But if it were the Lord System, it could be solved in a second.]

[Qianzhou: That’s basically saying nothing…]

Everyone’s so busy—who would have time to help him parse the world code?

052 fell silent, then realized a frustrating truth.

Even if he knew the source of the bug, even if he knew that what had snuck in was Gu Sheng…

He still couldn’t help Qianzhou leave.

Qianzhou swung his legs, pulled the blanket up, and said, “So… I’ve come to terms with it.”

[System 052: Are you going to take the romance route?]

[Qianzhou: Haven’t I been on the romance route all along? I’ve just been struggling.]

[Qianzhou: But now, I’m laying flat.]

The panel of System 052 began bubbling with pink, floating with all sorts of imaginative thoughts.

[System 052: Wonderful~ Once you finish the mission, the Lord System will personally award you. Then I can see the Lord System, hehe~~~]

[Qianzhou: Your system’s mindless obsession is enough already!]

[System 052: Lord System hehe… fragrant Lord System… hehe… hehehee…]

Qianzhou manually clicked refresh, wiping the “idiotic heartbeat” phase from 052.

[System 052: …Feels like half-hardened and then squashed soft.]

[Qianzhou: Enough.]

[System 052: Okayyy.]

[Qianzhou: But this is 6S difficulty. What if, when I complete the mission, something huge happens?]

[Qianzhou: Like an uncontrollable event caused by the world bug—earthquakes, tsunamis, that kind of thing.]

[System 052: Not impossible. I’ve been wondering why the 6S difficulty is so high, yet you’re getting through it so smoothly.]

That was the Killing God level. Countless players had fallen in this small world, and even now, no one had conquered it.

The failures died increasingly tragically.

But why, for Qianzhou, did Gu Sheng’s romance value seem to rise as if it were free?

[Qianzhou: That’s how it is.]

[System 052: Hmm… Right, Master 007 is holding a class tonight. I’ll go ask if there are any hidden risks.]

[Qianzhou: The system can hold classes too?]

[System 052: Our system has a lot to learn too!]

[System 052: The time flow in system space is different from yours. Take it easy. I’ll go to class.]

After saying this, it went quiet in his mind.

Qianzhou lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He had indeed wondered about this 6S-level small world he had never heard of before.

But later, when he checked the system panel, the difficulty column did say 6S.

Yet, he really didn’t think it was hard.

No humblebrag—just… not hard.

Qianzhou closed his eyes, and his thoughts spun like a storm.

Could it be… the high difficulty rating is because it’s highly targeted?

Like a problem: Solution A takes 30,000 steps, while Solution B only takes one.

Anyone could do A. But B’s first rule says: “Only Qianzhou himself can solve this.”

Even if A has more steps than B, if 10,000 people attempt it simultaneously, B’s pass rate would be lower than A’s.

So according to the main system’s logic, before Qianzhou was placed into this small world, its difficulty would soar.

…Heaven, how could a small world be so malicious?

[System 052: I’m back!]

[Qianzhou: …That fast?]

[System 052: Master 007 taught a lot about small world theory. After class, we even went out for dinner together and stopped by the Lord System’s temple to pay respects.]

Wow.

Turns out their system life was pretty rich.

He just didn’t know how strings of code could eat, offer incense… and bow.

Qianzhou shook his head, dismissing the strange image from his mind.

[Qianzhou: Did you get the answer?]

[System 052: Yes! Master 007 said that once a small world is formed, it’s very stable. There won’t be forced mission-failing events like earthquakes or tsunamis.]

[System 052: He also explained the new concept of difficulty ratings! Heh, Qianzhou, you’re still a newbie. It’s normal that you don’t expect this.]

052 proudly poked at Qianzhou’s nose remotely.

[System 052: Like a problem: Solution A takes 30,000 steps, Solution B—]

Qianzhou interrupted.

[Qianzhou: You mean the high targeting, right?]

[System 052: How did you know?]

[Qianzhou: I’ve been called a big shot by juniors too, hehe.]

He blew his hair back.

[Qianzhou: Piece of cake~]

052 was genuinely impressed. He’d known Qianzhou was smart when he picked him up—but his body held too many mysteries, even 052 didn’t know them all.

The wind blew outside, but Qianzhou’s room was well-insulated; the wind was blocked outside the door.

Tonight, Qianzhou was home alone. The villa felt empty and quiet.

He closed his eyes and thought it might be better to move—somewhere smaller, preferably near the food street.

052 refreshed again, staying quiet. Only two words appeared on the panel:

Good night, and Keep going.

Qianzhou turned on his desk lamp, glanced at the corner surveillance, and said, “Good night.”

He didn’t know if he was talking to 052… or Gu Sheng.

The past few days had flown by. Gu Sheng had been mostly at the company, only occasionally coming home for dinner.

Qianzhou realized Gu Sheng had always been very busy—he just kept getting in his way.

Gu Sheng had been pushing things back, accumulating who knows how many delays.

In the afternoon, Qianzhou received a message from Jiang En, saying he would come pick him up soon.

Qianzhou opened his wardrobe, looking for a set of pink shorts and a T-shirt. The logo was a long string of unreadable characters, a gift from Gu Sheng two days ago, with the tag still attached.

The fabric was comfortable, soft, and breathable. Qianzhou bent forward, awkwardly twisting to cut off the tag in the mirror.

He was shocked when he saw the price:

136,000.

Gu Sheng really didn’t mind spending on him. Qianzhou carefully removed the tag, making small, cautious movements.

Even an apocalyptic laser gun would cost roughly the same.

From downstairs came Jiang En’s voice: “Qianzhou! Are you ready?”

“All ready.” Qianzhou held the railing and went down the stairs.

Jiang En wore a ripped, loose shirt and nylon shorts with rolled hems, revealing white letters inside.

Qianzhou looked at the heavy metal necklace around his neck. “Very wild. Did Cheng Xiao style this for you?”

“Yeah.” Jiang En twirled around and pulled him into the back seat of the car.

Once the doors were securely closed, Qianzhou said, “Let’s go.”

Driver Cheng Xiao: “Okay.”

Hearing a familiar voice, Qianzhou leaned forward and looked at Cheng Xiao’s profile, asking:

“You’re coming too?”

“I’m not going, just taking you to the gate. After you meet up with the bodyguard car, I’ll leave.”

Jiang En leaned mysteriously close to Qianzhou: “Guess how much my brother gave me?”
