Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1142 - 1141: Almost Crashed the System!

Time waits for no one, and Lu Xiaobu certainly wouldn’t waste it for nothing.

"System, come out." Lu Xiaobu shouted directly.

There was no movement at all!

But this very lack of response made Lu Xiaobu even more suspicious.

"I order you as the Host, come out!" Lu Xiaobu escalated the situation directly!

Sure enough, this time was different.

A ball of light floated before his eyes: "Host."

It was the system’s voice, but much more rigid than usual!

In fact, Lu Xiaobu had somewhat figured out the difference between the system and the system’s spirit over time!

The system he usually interacted with wasn’t exactly a full system, more like the system’s spirit!

It’s like the voice assistant everyone now has on their smartphones!

The system’s spirit is like the voice assistant, capable of controlling a part of the phone to some extent.

But you can’t say the voice assistant is the phone, can you!

Another analogy would be the relationship between mind and body.

Although the mind can control body actions, the body has its own instincts; you can’t just say if I feel cutting off an arm doesn’t hurt, the body won’t send you pain signals!

The relationship between the system and the system’s spirit is similar!

The system’s spirit has its own thoughts, but the system is dead, fixed, running in modules!

To clarify for everyone, we currently divide them as system spirit and system.

"I request to modify the definition of wasteful!" Lu Xiaobu squinted, seeing some information.

It was the system spirit sending the message to him!

This guy is actually helping him go against the system now!

"..." Both the system spirit and system fell into silence, as if contemplating whether it conformed to the rules.

After a while, the system spirit, under the control of the system, spoke: "Where do you want to modify it?"

"Spending money is wasteful, but spending it on myself shouldn’t count as spending, right? But if I spend it on others, is that wasteful?" Lu Xiaobu asked seriously.

"..." The system was silent again, and after a while, communicated again through the system spirit: "Yes! Spending money on others is wasteful!"

"Then what about enhancing attributes for others?! Is that wasteful?! Shouldn’t it be settled with wealth value instead of wasteful amount!" Lu Xiaobu voiced his twisted reasoning!

At this moment, his breathing grew heavy!

Even though forced calmness kept wiping away his excitement again and again, he still couldn’t help his emotions from rising again!

Oh my God!

No wonder, no wonder!

No wonder when he gained this ability, the system spirit acted so strangely!

This ability is practically a bug!

It’s equivalent to upgrading him, the user, directly to an administrator, with the ability to modify the backend code directly!

It’s genuinely terrifying!

And once the system acknowledges his words, then he can enhance the attributes of Liang Lan and others using wealth value instead of the wasteful amount!

This would create a perfect loop!

Enhancing his subordinates’ strength could actually qualify as wasteful, increasing the wasteful amount?!

This is too satisfying!

This time, the system fell into a long silence.

Lu Xiaobu’s words had already created a paradox!

Lu Xiaobu used the system to enhance his subordinates’ abilities, which should logically use the wasteful amount without question.

But now Lu Xiaobu said spending money on others should count as wasteful, meaning the wasteful amount wouldn’t decrease, but actually increase?!

This isn’t right!

Silence! Or rather, a crash!

Lu Xiaobu even saw many stars constantly extinguishing and being reborn, like a cosmic catastrophe!

Evidently, the system was a bit confused!

A long, long, long time passed.

Finally, the system controlled the system spirit to speak stiffly: "Ca...can...do!"

As the words finished, Lu Xiaobu was kicked out of the administrator interface, which was hidden once again!

Even with forced calmness activated, Lu Xiaobu could no longer see it!

The forced calmness expired, and Lu Xiaobu returned to normal!

In an instant!

A strong rush of excitement flooded his heart!

Holy shit!

Just ask, are you impressed or not!

Impressed or not!!!

This young master has fought sky and earth, and now finally against the system!

Just ask, who else!

However, after the excitement comes the fear!

If he had actually crashed the system just now, wouldn’t he be done for?!

And now, the system had actually entered an upgrade state.

Connecting to the world... Connection successful!

Connecting to the wealth ranking... Connection successful!

Converting wealth value... Conversion successful!

Replanning... Planning successful!

Starting reboot... Rebooting... Rebooting... Reboot successful!

"Holy shit! This is freaking intense!" The system spirit instantly popped out, swearing directly: "Host, you’re amazing! You’re incredibly amazing!"

"Weren’t you the one who told me to do it!" Lu Xiaobu also swore.

Why did he suddenly have such an idea? Because the moment the system spirit appeared before him, it signaled to him — Privilege!

Privilege?! What privilege?!

The Host’s privilege!

He remembered when the system first explained, fundamentally, the Host is the Host, the master, and has certain privileges!

So, Lu Xiaobu linked this to granting attribute enhancements to Liang Lan and others just now, thus making that decision!

"I just wanted you to use the privilege to gain some advantage! Who knew you’d go straight to modifying the core system rules?! Almost crashed it! Madman!" The system spirit was equally frightened.

If the system had genuinely crashed just now, it would have vanished entirely!

After all, without skin, where can the hair attach?

He merely wanted Lu Xiaobu to seize the opportunity, to gain some benefits, like forcefully unlocking an attribute or adding a feature!

Who knew Lu Xiaobu would go this crazy!

"Regardless, it worked!" Lu Xiaobu exhaled deeply.

"However, after this, if you want to access the admin interface again, it might be tough! The system’s probably scared of you now!" The system spirit laughed bitterly.

What kind of Host is this?!

Across all realms, who has seen such a Host?!

Specializes in exploiting its own system until it crashes?!

"Let’s not talk about that anymore. If I can’t find it, I can’t. I’ll see about the opportunity later!" Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin, a bit tempted in his heart.

Looking at it, as long as he can find it once, he can forcefully modify some things.

If he finds it again later, wouldn’t it be... hehe!

The system spirit couldn’t help shivering — Holy crap! Did I make a mistake?! Did I personally open the Gate of Hell?!
