â2d14, directly apply for a world thatâs similar to the pollution or the virus world. Weâll head there immediately!â The black-haired youth said.
System 2d14: [Lord Host, in a mission world, you can only apply for concurrent tasks. However, the zombie world mission has already been completed! You cannot apply for a concurrent task. Why donât we go back to the Salvation Alliance town and buy a small house with a garden? After staying there for a few days, we can then apply for a mission in the mission hall?â Thinking of the small garden, 2d14 became happy again.
Even the words âsmall house with a gardenâ couldnât make the youth relax. He was still thinking about the message that Huo Li sent him: âDon't go back to the Salvation Alliance town. The Interstellar Federation is currently searching!â. Even if the youth looked exactly like a human, so long as a single cell of his body was taken and tested, then the genes of tens of thousands of other non-human creatures would immediately expose his identity.
Now, travel to and from the Salvation Alliance town should already be tightly controlled by the Interstellar Federation. Even if he went back for only 5 minutes to apply for a mission, itâs very likely that he wouldnât be able to make it out! Also, the Salvation Alliance had hardly any trash or soil. If the moment arrived when he needs to wield his sword, then would he have no choice but to absorb the other saviours in order to be able to fight against the Interstellar Federation?

After thinking for a while, the black-haired youth asked: âAfter the host system determines that the mission has been completed, how long can I stay in the mission world?â
System 2d14: [Lord Host! If it is counted from the moment the mission is submitted, then you can stay here for 24 hours.]
Thereâs really nowhere to run! Should I just discard the part of my body thatâs bound to 2d14 and then live the life of a fugitive? But I worked so hard to finally earn over a billion points to buy a small gardenâŚâŚ
Listening to 2d14 happily planning out their vacation life in his mind and completely unaware of the impending disaster, the black-haired youth felt a little reluctant. Just when he was struggling to decide what to do:
System 2d14: [Ding! A mission invitation from 099. Would you like to accept?]
The youth instantly replied without thinking. Huo Li really was helping him out this time! Xiao Yi wasnât too worried about what type of planet the mission world was. So long as the planet had organic matter, then it wouldnât be a problem for him; so long as the enemy had a conscience, then it wouldnât be a problem for Huo Li. Xiao Yi was full of confidence for the new mission.

System 2d14: [Ding! The transmission channel is being established. 3, 2, 1, begin transmission!]
The black-haired youth then entered the transmission with a smile on his face. However, the mission planet seemed to be particularly far this time. The youth sped along through the darkness while being pulled left and right from time to time. About 15 minutes later, having almost threw up, the black-haired youth finally appeared in the desert of an unfamiliar planet.
System 2d14: [Ding! Welcome to D planet.]
The youth was stunned as he looked at the expanse of sand and rocks stretching all the way to the horizon: â2d14, what is the forest coverage of this planet?â
System 2d14: [Ding! SearchingâŚâŚ Lord Host! The plant coverage of D planet is 0%.]
The black-haired took a deep breath to calm his emotions and continued to ask: âHow many survivors are there in this world?â
System 2d14: [Ding! The number of survivors is 400,000. This is a high difficulty apocalyptic world: machine rebellion. The entire planet is controlled by the D computer program and the robots it has manufactured. In the past 50 years, the residents of this world have continuously been massacred! Ding! Now announcing a notice from the system: Because D planet is located at the edge of the galaxy, the energy required for transmission is huge. Hence, before completing this worldâs mission, you cannot apply for a concurrent task.

âHow did Huo Li end up choosing this mission world?! I canât spread my black strands here! Heâs so useless! Forget it. In any case, he has his psychic ability. It wonât take long for him to find where I am.â
Bored to death, Xiao Yi started throwing the small rocks on the ground and casually asked: â2d14, how many points did I receive for the last mission world? I didnât hear you clearly when we were in front the engine room building.â
System 2d14 suddenly became excited: [Lord Host! You have received a very high score for the last mission! I will now break down the points: mission time limit is 20 years; time used is 14 days; mission world extended lifespan is 500 years; world surviving population is 4.6 billion. The zombie worldâs actual difficulty coefficient was raised from 10 to 944! Your contribution level is 60%. Hence, your score is:
365 x 20/ 14 x 500 x 46 x 944 x 60% = 6,792,750,000 points! Lord Host, you now have 8,866,260,000 points!]
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
The black-haired youth: âMy contribution level is 60%?! Xu Yun Chengâs mission execution time is 100 times longer than mine and his contribution level canât be more than 35%. Doesnât that mean that he received less than 100 million points? Even after I had specifically left the crucial step of scattering the virus to him? So it turns out that carrying others is also a skillâŚâŚâ
System 2d14 asked in confusion: [Lord host! When did you scatter the virus? How come I donât know about it?]
Looking at the sky in the distance, the black-haired youth saw two helicopters appear from beyond the horizon! Xiao Yi wasnât stupid enough to think that of the mere 400,000 people left on D planet, there would still be someone who could fly a helicopter. However, because he was concerned about System 2d14âs data being connected to the network, he didnât dare to alienate himself into black strands and drill into the ground. Just when Xiao Yi was about to turn around and escape, he suddenly saw a very familiar figure running in front of the helicopters. Wasnât that Huo Li?
While the black-haired youth was stunned, the one person and two helicopters were already about to arrive at his location. Xiao Yi looked at Huo Li who was covered in a lot of scratches and his clothes were soaked in blood. He was so exhausted that the helicopter drones were about to catch up to him! The youth secretly alienated the part of his body under his clothes and reached out to grab Huo Liâs collar. He then dragged him along and started running like mad!
The body of an alien was naturally more outstanding than that of an ordinary person like Huo Li. After 5 minutes, they managed to pull some distance away from the life-hunting drones. Xiao Yi then shouted against the wind as he ran:
âHuo Li! Arenât your psychic powers extremely powerful? Why canât you control the drones?!â

Huo Li didnât have the time to speak, so he used his conscience to directly say in the youthâs mind: âThe way my ability works is quite complicated. Under the current conditions, I really canât control a machine or a computerâŚâŚâ
The black-haired youth: â!!! Then what can you do?!â
Huo Li: ââŚâŚâ Feel depressed while letting Xiao Yi drag him by his shirt collar.
The black-haired youth angrily shouted: âHow are you even more powerless than me?!â But in his mind, he said to Huo Li: Help me block the systems.
099 and 2d14 instantly disconnected.
The black-haired youth stopped and put Huo Li down. He then turned around and sprang up, shooting like an arrow towards the sky! Grabbing the side of a drone with one hand, he broke through the window and climbed in! The robot in the cockpit lifted up its submachine gun and fired at the youth. The youth dodged left and right in the small cabin while taking out all the black strands from his space. Transforming them into several aliens, he then controlled them to bite the robot soldier!
3 minutes later, the robot was completely annihilated, but the aliens also sustained a lot of injuries. Xiao Yi seized a hand grenade from the robot soldierâs waist and pulled the pin. He threw the grenade onto the floor while controlling the alien debris to turn into black vines and extend towards the adjacent helicopter! The vines latched on and shrank, abruptly pulling the two helicopters together. The youth then jumped down and steadily landed on the ground as the helicopters exploded into flames behind him. Walking over to Huo Li, he loudly asked:

âHow did you end up choosing this world?! Thereâs no organic matter, and also no body with a conscience! We basically canât do anything! Especially you!â The black-haired youth pointed at Huo Liâs chest.
âIâŚâŚâ Huo Li has never felt more embarrassed in his life. He was actually despised by his âlittle boyfriendâ. âThis morning, the Interstellar Federation suddenly received an anonymous report. The report claimed that the Salvation Alliance was secretly harbouring an extremely dangerous Class 1 wanted criminal â an alien. Consequently, the Interstellar Federation brought the Starship Guard Squadron to the Salvation Alliance to conduct a mandatory surprise inspection.â
âDidnât I only kill a few hundred people? Now the whole galaxy wants my life. Of the hundreds of millions of stars in the entire galaxy, how many humans have killed more than a thousand people? At least several billion? How many people dream of destroying the world? Iâm pretty sure thereâs tens of billions. Why are they only targeting me?!â Without the foolish 2d14 listening in at any time, the black-haired youth started to shoot his mouth off.
âBecause youâre not human!â Huo Li answered without thinking, but he quickly changed his words after seeing the youthâs angry expression: âWhat I mean is, the Interstellar Federation fear you because you are a lot stronger than them. Even if they wanted to destroy the world, they wouldnât have the ability to. But as for youâŚâŚ Cough. Sometimes, humans are hostile to you not because you are evil, but rather because you are powerful.â
âThatâs not fair.â The black-haired youth looked at Huo Li. âIf you wanted to destroy the world, then your speed would definitely be much faster than mine.â
Huo Li revealed a complicated expression: âHow would you know that they havenât feared me before?â He had always buried his thoughts deep in the bottom of his heart, but looking at the youth, Huo Li suddenly had a strong desire to say everything. âActually, when I was youngâŚâŚâ
Sensing that Huo Li was about to recount his past, the black-haired youth quickly changed the topic: âYou still havenât told me why you had to choose this world.â
âUh.â Having his recollection suddenly interrupted, Huo Li stared blankly for a few minutes before adjusting his mood and explaining:
âSince the Interstellar Federation basically controls the entire galaxy, they possess a lot of power. They can even obtain the monitoring power of a planet at any time. So, I had to find a mission world where order has already collapsed and the entire planetâs information is completely controlled by the person or thing that is destroying the world. The planet also needs to be far enough from the Alliance town such that the Interstellar Federation wouldnât send their starship to patrol here. Only D planet met these two conditions.â
âAlright!â Since itâs to prevent him from being found, then he can only accept it. The black-haired youth slowed down his speech and said to Huo Li: âMy reserve of black strands is pretty much gone. Although you canât do anything right now, but you should at least have some food in your space, right?â
Having always been well off in every apocalyptic world, Huo Li never had to worry about a lack of foodâŚâŚ
âUhâŚâŚ does wine count?â Huo Li silently used his conscience to sweep over all the items in his system space and embarrassingly took out the only organic thing he had inside: a bottle of top-grade red wine worth more than 100 million star coins.
â14% alcohol. Dry wine? It doesnât even have any sugar! Forget it, just keep it for yourself!â The black-haired youth looked in disdain at that âreduce capabilitiesâ bottle.
Huo Li instantly felt an arrow to his heart! In his first world with his âlittle boyfriendâ, he was actually so useless!

Huo Li quickly said: âXiao Yi, wait a moment. Iâm bringing 099 back online.â
âEn.â The youth didnât understand but still nodded.
System 099: [Ding! System 099 is back online!]
Huo Li: â099, go to the system store and buy 1 million points worth of nutrition packs.â
System 099: [Yes, Lord Host. Each nutrition pack is 3 points. But due to the distance, the system will charge an additional transmission fee of 300,000 points each. You can purchase a total of 3 nutrition packs. Currently transmittingâŚâŚ]
As for the black-haired youth, he couldnât hear 099âs words. He was still filled with anticipation as an orange light flashed next to Huo Li! After the light disappeared, he saw three green nutrition packs smaller than childrenâs toothpaste on the ground next to Huo Liâs feetâŚâŚ
The black-haired youth: !!!
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
âForget it, I wonât put my hopes in you anymore.â The youth was extremely disappointed. He then turned to look at the afternoon sun that was still shining warmly onto the desert. âAh, do I have to turn my skin green and open my arms to photosynthesise? But thatâs so stupid!â Xiao Yi couldnât decide what to do.
Huo Li quickly helped the black-haired youth delete the words that 099 was transmitting in real time. However, he really couldnât bear that because of his own incompetence, his âlittle boyfriendâ would have no choice but to turn into a tree! Hence, he quietly said to 099:
â099, buy that limited edition top-grade abilities gift package from the system store!â
099 jumped in fright: [Lord Host. Are you sure you want to spend 10 billion points to purchase this? Actually, you can consider starting from a single first class ability for 200,000 pointsâŚâŚ If you change your body, all your abilities will become invalid!]
System 099: [Ding! Purchase successful. Deducting 10 billion points. You have 32,295,540,000 points remaining. Your ranking has dropped to ninth.]
The black-haired youth: âWhat did you buy?â

Finally able to display his âboyfriend powerâ, Huo Li solemnly said: âItâs nothing. From now on, no matter what happens in this machine world, I will always protect you.â
âI wasnât asking you this.â The black-haired youth didnât know what crazy thing this big shot did again. â2d14 just told me that your points ranking suddenly dropped to ninth. I just want to know what you did to end up in last place amongst the SSS rank saviours.â
The black-haired youth: âAlthough the distance is quite far, I can still log into the Salvation Alliance forum.â
The black-haired youth: âBut this time, you donât need to hype yourself up. I already made 2d14 write up some posts.â
