Chapter 121 System

"I want to hand over myself."

Zhang Ye shouted excitedly.

"What did you say?"

Caiyi wondered if she was hallucinating.

“I said I wanted to hand over myself, and I got a system, which is a system for publishing games.”

"And I am the host of the system, able to obtain game information and participate in the game with others..."

"I'll get a lot of rewards if I win."

Zhang Ye rattled off a long string of words with an excited expression.

Caiyi frowned, asking with some confusion, "What game?"

Zhang Ye was stunned, then scratched his head and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't know, I haven't seen it yet."

Caiyi rubbed his throbbing head speechlessly and continued, "Now take a look, what game is it?"

Zhang Ye immediately began to examine the games released by the system in his mind, but the more he looked, the uglier his face became. In the end, even his lips turned white and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Half an hour later, Zhang Ye finally finished reading the information about a game. He subconsciously felt like vomiting, but he forced himself to hold it in.

After all, the woman in front of him looked even weaker than he did, and it would be too embarrassing for a man to show any discomfort.

Zhang Ye secretly rejoiced that he had chosen to submit to the system; otherwise, if he had really had to complete these tasks, he would probably have either ended up dead or become an antisocial person.

If nothing unexpected happens, I'll have to spend the rest of my life on the run.

Zhang Ye picked up the water glass in front of him, took a sip, and suppressed his fear, saying, "It's a rules-based game. If you complete the game, you'll receive a reward."

Her interest wasn't in the reward; she was more concerned with something else: "What's the punishment if I fail?"

After a long silence, Zhang Ye slowly said, "...If you fail, you will die in the game."

Cai Yi closed his eyes, thought for a moment, then opened them and stared at Zhang Ye: "As the host of the system, what permissions do you have?"

Zhang Ye stammered, "It's possible to know the rules and game content in advance... but I can't reveal them."

Caiyi: "..."

What's the difference between knowing and not knowing?

Cai Yi continued, "Don't you have any other permissions?"

Zhang Ye swallowed hard, realizing he had just said something pointless: "We can find out the number of participants and their names."

Caiyi: "..."

Taking a deep breath, Caiyi had already given up hope: "Is there nothing else?"

Zhang Ye's answer finally had some effect: "I can choose someone to go in with me."

Caiyi picked up the pen on the table, her tone becoming serious: "Now, I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer them. Don't speak unless I ask you."

Zhang Ye swallowed nervously, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "Okay."

Financial meaning: "Number of participants and their names".

Zhang Ye looked at the floating electronic panel in front of him and began to read out the number of people and names on it, word by word: "Seven people, Cheng Xin, Ren Tangyi, Li Xin, Cai Yi, Li Huai, Li Yue, Baili Tu."

Caiyi paused slightly in her hand holding the pen, the nib resting on the paper. Familiar names came into view, and her gaze suddenly froze.

These are all main characters, so why is her name included?

Is her body, which was once that of a beggar, also the main character?

Caiyi subconsciously pursed her lips, and a plot instantly came to mind.

Now that confirmation was all that was needed, Caiyi asked again, "What game is it?"

Zhang Ye's expression turned somewhat grim, perhaps recalling the game footage the system had just shown him: "Apocalyptic survival game."

Upon hearing this, Caiyi's hand trembled slightly, and the tip of his pen made a few ink dots on the white paper.

The only survivor in that post-apocalyptic survival game was the system's host.

The host's name is Long Aotian, but the man in front of me is not called Long Aotian.

Cai Yixiang might be mistaken; Zhang Ye still has to survive in the real world, and it's unlikely he'd use his real name in this game.

Caiyi stared directly at Zhang Ye, making sure he wouldn't lie about not recognizing him later: "What's your ID?"

Zhang Ye's handsome face flushed slightly, with a hint of embarrassment and annoyance: "Long... Aotian."

Caiyi: "..."

As expected, Long Aotian is Zhang Ye!

In the early stages of the game, Long Aotian exhibits a strong sense of male chauvinism.

At the time, almost all the participants in the apocalyptic game were female characters, and knowing the plot, he was determined to save all the girls from their predicament.

However, in apocalyptic games, danger comes not only from the outside world, but also from within.

As one might expect, Zhang Ye ultimately failed, and even nearly lost his life in this apocalyptic survival game.

The reason was that on the last day before the game was about to end, a girl, in order to buy herself more time, suddenly pushed Zhang Ye, who was about to pass the game, to the ground.

It has to be said that Long Aotian is indeed Long Aotian; he left himself a way out.

Among the newcomer rewards from the system, he deliberately kept a skill called "Shift," but this skill can only be used between two living beings.

Therefore, Li Yue was the one who performed the live-body fixed-point relocation.

Zhang Ye survived, watching the girl being devoured by zombies.

As the game's cruelty gradually becomes apparent, Long Aotian's personality undergoes a significant transformation.

He began to become indifferent, ruthless, and even somewhat extreme.

These games caused him to lose his original self and embark on a path of bloodshed and killing to complete the games.

This is a path to success paved with the lives of countless participants.

Zhang Ye once dreamed of leading all the participants to survive these deadly games, but now, he only hopes to survive himself, that's all.

After two failed attempts at the game, he no longer trusted any of the game participants.

In the later stages of the game, those who participated were nothing more than stepping stones for Zhang Ye.

However, to Cai Yi's surprise, why did Zhang Ye choose to hand over the system game this time?

Instead of following the plot.

Thinking of this, Cai Yi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Zhang Ye, why do you want to hand it over? Generally speaking, no one would think of handing over something so magical, right?"

After all, using it yourself and handing it over are completely different.

Zhang Ye's answer surprised Cai Yi: "You may not know, but I once experienced a terrible shipwreck, which is still vivid in my memory."

"But fortunately, the rescuers arrived just in time, and we all survived."

"When I saw Mu Bai, the police officer who protected us even though she was so badly injured, I thought to myself, I must be even better than her. I'm a man, how can I let a woman protect me?"

"After the system arrived, I felt that it wasn't enough for me to become powerful on my own; I should make our motherland even stronger."

"Because sometimes you have to admit that one person's strength is limited."

"Compared to nature, humans are even more insignificant."
