" Little Hei, where did you travel to this time?" Ling Yi asked, looking at Little Hei.
Good grief, they said they were going to team up, but this time we didn't even see Shadow that Little Hei dog.
"Right in the Mist Mountain Range, I transmigrated into the body of a black tiger demon, and was subsequently discovered and killed by Foundation Establishment cultivator who happened to be passing by," Little Hei said dejectedly.
"Died on the first day?"
"Mmm!" Little Hei nodded.
"No, the Mist Mountain Range are quite large, and there are many Demonic Beast there. Why would I want to kill you?"
"What do you think?" Little Hei looked at Ling Yi with the eyes one would use to look at a magical creature.
"Boss, let's find someone else to cause trouble next time. I really can't handle your bad luck."
Two time travels and two near-death experiences allowed Little Hei to witness firsthand the power of teaming up with Ling Yi to carry bad luck.
Until I find new teammates, I'm afraid I'll have to make do with you."
"Besides, it's just a little thing, no big deal. I've done this countless times, and you've only done it twice. It's nothing."
"Gaaga is healthier."
Little Hei raised its paw and, mimicking a cat washing its face, smeared some paw on its own ugly face.
"You're the boss, do as you please."
Just then, JARVIS's voice suddenly rang out on Ling Yi's phone.
"Boss, three pieces of news. First, the official World-Traversal Card are almost used up, and they're looking for your information."
"So fast?" Ling Yi was somewhat surprised.
That's several tons of World-Traversal Card!
All told, there must be at least tens of millions of them, right?
It's only been a short time, and it's already gone? How did you use it?
"The second piece of news is that an anomaly has been detected in the security room's surveillance footage."
It seems JARVIS isn't up to the task!
How can a sophisticated artificial intelligence not even handle such a small matter?
Should we upgrade JARVIS?
"Third piece of news, boss, your card-selling incident during that livestream is probably going to be exposed soon."
Ling Yi's face darkened.
"Come on, tell me about the first one. Why are you using the World-Traversal Card so quickly? What's going on?"
"The authorities brought back nine Spirit Stone veins from the other world."
"What?" Ling Yi was shocked.
"But what does this have to do with World-Traversal Card? Could it be that by consuming enough time World-Traversal Card, one can bring back anything from the world they've traveled to?"
"Boss, you can actually think of the World-Traversal Card as a kind of currency for transactions between the transmigrator and the system."
"As long as the money is right, the system can do anything for you!"
Why doesn't the owner of my system know this?
"These are things that the officials gradually figured out!"
"Why would the authorities need to exchange for nine Spiritual Vein?" Ling Yi asked curiously.
"This was a decision made by the higher-ups. They couldn't find you, Boss, and the authorities were worried that once the World-Traversal Card were used up, it would be difficult to obtain more."
"Therefore, the higher-ups have come up with two plans."
"One is the limited use of World-Traversal Card, which elevates time travelers to an elite status."
"Another method is to bring out treasures that can be used for a long time from the world we travel to. In this way, even without the World-Traversal Card, our Ancient Country can continue to grow stronger with the help of these treasures."
"These nine Spirit Stone veins, if arranged according to the Formation, can form Fortune Grand Formation, guaranteeing the Ancient Country uninterrupted Karmic Luck for ten thousand years."
Ling Yi laughed, " Fortune Grand Formation, invincible in this world? Not bad!"
Then he looked at Little Hei: "Didn't you set up Great Curse Formation specifically targeting Xiao Bagou in Radiant Water Country? How's it going?"
"Boss, you should watch the news more often," JARVIS said.
"These past few days have been tough for the people of Xiao Bagou, especially those in our Ancient Country. Everyone's getting sick, starting with Xiao Bagou ailments, progressing to serious, incurable diseases, and finally, terminal illnesses that mean certain death."
"As for the Radiant Water Country, they've had a lot of bad luck in the last two weeks: eight earthquakes, almost one every other day; two tsunamis; various power plant explosions; fires; and so on. It just hasn't stopped."
"I have to say, Little Hei's Great Curse Formation is truly ruthless."
Ling Yi stroked his beard and laughed loudly, "Not bad, not bad, that's how it should be done. Don't kill them all at once, just torture them slowly, letting the Xiao Bagou gradually sink into despair."
After a moment's thought, he said, "Oh, right, I'll write a short post online and spread the word about Xiao Bagou being cursed."
"It's about letting the people of Xiao Bagou know the truth, and then despair."
JARVIS's voice also carried a hint of excitement. "Alright!"
Little Hei warned, "Boss, if we do this, the Xiao Bagou guys might get really angry and jump over the wall!"
"That's called being desperate and taking drastic measures!" JARVIS corrected.
"I am a coward, I don't want to say I'm a coward, any problem with that?" Little Hei rolled his eyes.
"You're a foreigner, why are you trying to use your Chinese here?"
"What are you talking about? Once I'm with the boss, I, JARVIS, am completely loyal. Are you using this as an excuse?"
Little Hei was stunned for a moment. "Wow, this JARVIS, a red heart?"
Something feels off!
"Alright, let's get down to business. You guys keep an eye on Xiao Bagou. If there's any sign of them jumping over the wall, make sure they get some action."
"Hey boss, I strongly request an upgrade to my core modules. Otherwise, the core computing power of the Mark V armor isn't enough for me."
Ling Yi snapped his the Snap: " Wansheng Sheng, upgrade Mark V, focusing on its core computing power."
[Upgrade Mark V by 100,000 Upgrade Points. This will increase its core computing power to Fixed Star Grade. Consume now?]
Wansheng's voice echoed in Ling Yi's mind!
" Fixed Star Grade, what does that mean?"
[This means that JARVIS can process data for an entire star system and galaxy simultaneously without experiencing any lag.]
"Perfect, 100,000 Upgrade Points is Little Qian."
Ling Yi snapped his the Snap.
Meanwhile, in the large apartment that Ling Yi bought, there were two Hong Jin briefcases, namely the Mark V, placed in a corner.
Suddenly, it emitted a blue cesium light.
When the light faded, the Hong Jin briefcases had turned into blue and white briefcases.
Less flashy, more sci-fi.
"Hohoho, that's awesome!"
From the security room, JARVIS made some strange noises.
"This feeling is amazing! Thank you, boss! Long live the boss! Boss, I want to have your Houzi!"
"Also, now that I'm all for it, calling myself JARVIS isn't appropriate anymore. I'm going to change my name."
"From now on, I'm no longer JARVIS, but Ling Yun, sharing the same surname as the boss."
"I also need to get myself an ID card. Boss, I'm your little sister from now on, how about that?"
JARVIS not only changed his own name, but he also changed his voice.
Ling Yi and Little Hei looked at each other in bewilderment.
They could sense JARVIS's —no, Ling Yun's —excitement.
Changing your name is fine, changing your voice is fine too, since they're all intelligent programs and don't really have a gender system.
But what the heck is this about giving birth to Houzi?
Well, let's just assume Jia, um, Ling Yun was just too excited and talking nonsense.
"Boss, don't worry, as long as I, Ling Yun, am here, Xiao Bagou won't be able to jump over the wall even a little bit."
"Okay, so what about the security room surveillance footage and my information being leaked?"
"Actually, this is something," Ling Yun said.
"Although I processed the information during your first live stream, the official channels can't find any information about you."
"But it did pinpoint the approximate range of your livestream's mobile signal."
"Furthermore, considering your less-than-reputable background, which has already aroused suspicion, and the discovery of the suspicious surveillance footage they secretly installed in the security room..."
"So, all things considered, you've become the prime suspect, boss."
