Chapter 1222: The Fool's Daughter (1)

Inside the Heavenly Spring, Tang Guo lay comfortably with her eyes closed, the corners of her lips slightly raised. “Go on, tell me. You’re from the Space-Time Administration Bureau, aren’t you? There’s something I’ve wanted to ask for a very long time, something from roughly five thousand years ago.”

“I-I really am from the Space-Time Administration Bureau, but I’m newly manufactured—a rookie system. I’ve only accompanied two hosts so far. Things that happened too long ago… I basically know nothing about them.” System 222’s childish voice sounded especially nervous, even trembling.

He finally understood why this mission had been so easy. It turned out he had run into a true big shot.

That Tang Guo hadn’t been reborn at all. She had been possessed by this great being.

What he had never expected was that when he was about to leave this world, he would actually be captured and dragged into the system space by the big shot’s own system.

System 222 felt that his serial number must be cursed, otherwise why would he always encounter such terrible luck?

“System, come out.”

System: Coming. Hey, Triple-Two, get over here and take a look. See if I was manufactured by your Space-Time Administration Bureau.

This matter had always weighed heavily on System’s mind.

Now that he had encountered an authentic system, yet couldn't devour it, the only thing he could do was ask about his origins.

222 had never imagined that this would be the first question.

He found it strange. Systems all had official registrations, and their programs always contained information about where they had been produced. The other party’s question struck him as unbelievable.

But there were two big shots in front of him, so he could only obediently help.

“S-Senior, you don’t even have a serial number?” 222 asked in astonishment.

System immediately exploded. “I may not have a serial number, but I’m still stronger than those registered systems!”

“I-I wasn’t saying you weren’t powerful,” 222 replied, his childish voice trembling. This senior’s temper seemed rather awful.

System: So? Did you find anything? Was I produced by your Space-Time Administration Bureau?

“Judging from your code, you should indeed originate from our Space-Time Administration Bureau, but… Senior, you’re not officially registered. I did hear one story. During the early stages of system development, many defective products appeared… um…”

System exploded with rage. “Scram! Do I look like a defective product? I’m this powerful!”

222 shuddered. As expected, Senior’s temper was horrible.

“Enough, System. If 222 doesn’t know, forget it. I’ll ask him about something else.”

Naturally, what Tang Guo wanted to know was information concerning the Space-Time Administration Bureau.

But 222 really was a new system and knew very little. As for internal affairs of the Administration Bureau, they weren’t permitted to know much for security reasons.

In the end, Tang Guo released him.

As 222 prepared to leave with Tang Jiao, System’s voice suddenly rang out.

“Kid, stay in touch from now on. If you find out anything about me, send me an email. Ask headquarters whether they can apply for a serial number for me.”

“Okay, Senior.” 222 felt speechless. With a big shot backing him, did he even need an official registration?

“Your aunt came over earlier,” Song Jinghua said at the dinner table, speaking to Tang Guo, who was quietly eating across from her. “She said that next month Zhiming plans to take his girlfriend on a self-driving trip and wants to borrow a car.”

“Zhiming finally managed to find a girlfriend, and now they’re already talking about marriage,” Tang Lide, the owner of this body and Tang Guo’s father, also spoke up. “His car is several years old now, and honestly, it’s not presentable. Didn’t you just buy yours two months ago? Aside from driving it to work, it’s not really being used. Why not lend it to Zhiming? He’ll return it after the trip. He already agreed that you can drive his car to work in the meantime.”
