"So, with this system, I can develop my human potential to the utmost?" Ye Hao's eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at Qianqian, because his previous thought was just to break through the third level of National Martial Arts and be satisfied.
"That's theoretically true, but if you use something that harms your body's foundation, the system can't push you beyond the A-level to enter the Special Level state."
"Oh? There's a Special Level? Right, A, B, C levels seem to surpass the twelve stages of Earth's National Martial Arts, right? What level is that on Earth?" Ye Hao became curious about what level surpassing the twelve stages of National Martial Arts was, though few people in this society have reached the fifth stage.
"Sorry! You don't have the necessary permissions to answer that question."
"Still need permissions? Really? How do I get those permissions?" Ye Hao asked in disbelief.
"Permissions come from your own power, once you break through to M-level, you'll gain access to M-level information. Of course! Your current N-level status lets you know a lot of advanced technology, but some of the newest tech belongs to the Special Level! Such existence is too dangerous and can't be controlled until you have Special Level power."
"How powerful is Special Level generally?" Ye Hao didn't know what Special Level was, but asking should be okay, right?
"Special Level is almost like what an internet-famous writer describes—capable of moving mountains and filling seas..."
"Wow... didn't expect you to find so much stuff, that internet-famous guy is my friend, I heard he writes novels. I'll have to check how he describes moving mountains and filling seas." Ye Hao chuckled, unsure if it was nonsense or true.
"..." Qianqian did not respond to Ye Hao's rambling.
"Alright! So if I don't ask, you'll just stay silent?" Ye Hao helplessly spread his hands and looked at Qianqian.
"I'm the system, but I also have a soul. I can judge which of your words need my response and which do not." Qianqian nodded.
"Alright! So I want to ask, how do I get in next time?"
"Simply think about entering, and your thought will reach me. I'll then ask if you wish to enter the eighth-generation human system. If you need to enter, choose yes; if not, choose no."
"Can I sense when others call me from outside?" Ye Hao wondered, afraid of spending too much time here and delaying important matters.
"You can, but when you activate self-protection for your physical body, you'll be isolated from outside events. Only when you exit the ring can you regain control of your body."
"How long did it take you to come to Earth? Did anyone know you were coming?" Ye Hao's curiosity spilled out in a string of questions.
"After being created by Professor Cathelon, the Laser Star System encountered a Civilized Era attack. Despite being able to stop the attack, time was too tight, and Professor Cathelon didn't want to destroy me, so he let me find a safe place. It took me ten thousand light years to reach Earth." Qianqian said somewhat sadly.
This made Ye Hao marvel at the system's advancement; even a virtual person had emotions.
"Don't be sad, we can be good friends in the future!" Ye Hao said generously.
"I'm not interested," Qianqian said disdainfully, "You're the master, I don't need friends."
"Alright..." Ye Hao awkwardly waved his hand, though he had more questions, there was no need to ask them all at once. He decided to wait until he was free in Huaxia to research more thoroughly. He was quite curious about the eighth-generation human system's forging system.
"Qianqian, where's the training system? I haven't seen it."
"If everything were laid out in front of you, could you handle it all? Having a secretary like me would be redundant, right?" Qianqian said with a half-joking attitude.
"That's true... so will you show me around?" Ye Hao laughed, though he was looked down upon by the system's secretary, he considered his thick skin his asset to ignore any disdain.
"The forging system is also in this space, but all creatures in the forging system are composed of electric currents. Since you're N-level, avoid training in the M-level area, as the M-level forging system is beyond your current endurance. Let's switch scenes now." With that, Qianqian waved her hand, the entire screen disappeared, and they appeared in a wilderness.
"Wow! Amazing! How's it done? Are those wild boars real?" Ye Hao excitedly gestured and danced.
"Boom~~"
A sudden electric current attacked Ye Hao's body; it hurt all over, feeling like the presence of ten thousand Ni Mas rushing at him. Ye Hao shouted inwardly: Who the hell did I offend to get struck by lightning every day?
"What's going on?" Ye Hao glared at Qianqian.
"Because the master is too excited and thrilled, as a warning, I hope you remember, in the internal space of the eighth-generation human system, you need to be calm and steady," Qianqian said with a harmless smile.
"You're tough..." Ye Hao remembered not to be excited or thrilled in this space.
"It's all for your own good," Qianqian laughed cheerfully like a child.
Ye Hao thought to himself: Truly an advanced system! Even a virtual woman is so realistic! The various emotions she showed were genuinely heartfelt.
"Alright then! What should I do to forge my body next?" Ye Hao said reluctantly and in pain.
"Master, did you see those wild boars, wild dogs, and even those werewolves? They are your enemies; the only thing you can bring is the system-set Electric Current Saber. Take this saber and plunge into endless slaughter! The more you kill, the more current you absorb! The current will enter your flesh and forge your body," Qianqian explained.
"Really? Those wild boars and wild dogs are so disgusting, it'd be better if they were humans!" Ye Hao said unwillingly as he looked at those wild boars and wild dogs.
"The N-level has many areas; if you want to become stronger, you have to endure some disgusting things you can't stand," Qianqian smiled.
"Forget it then! Change to another area?" Ye Hao said with his scalp tingling. Looking at those wild boars and wild dogs made him feel like vomiting; the thought of stabbing them with a knife might even give him nightmares.
"You can switch to the M-level area for a higher-level challenge, and you can set up opponents or enemies you really want to beat, or even spar with me. It feels very real..." Qianqian temptingly smiled at Ye Hao.
"Forget it! I'm not going to ask for trouble," Ye Hao said and directly charged into the group of wild boars and wild dogs composed of electric currents. He knew Qianqian could control all the programs of this ring, so she couldn't be weak. Fighting her would be asking for trouble, right?
At first, he was disgusted by the snotty noses of the wild boars, but as his desire to kill increased, he forgot about the gross scenes. Instead, he fought harder and fiercer.
Ye Hao had been on the plane for five hours, and the airplane slowly landed at Yanjing Airport in Huaxia.
In a heavily guarded villa on the second ring of Yanjing, a sixty-year-old man slammed his hand on the table and shouted loudly, "Zhong Xiu, you short-sighted bastard! You ruined good soldiers, you don't want them, but I do... Huh..."
This was naturally the head of the Ministry of State Security, Fang Zhongtian. He only just found out that Ye Hao had been forced back to the country by Zhong Xiu, and he even just learned as the plane was about to land that Ye Hao was now returning to Yanjing by plane. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but yell loudly.
"Dad! What's wrong with you? You've damaged a corner of the good purple sandalwood table and chair," Fang Ni, Fang Zhongtian's daughter, just returned from the State Security Intelligence Department, and seeing her father's rage, she stepped forward and asked.
"Huh... I despise that bastard Zhong Xiu; he doesn't know how to treat soldiers as if they were his own children, just messes around without care..." Fang Zhongtian said while breathing heavily, showing a trend of wanting to confront Zhong Xiu.
"Dad! Calm down, you are already over sixty, why are you getting so angry? What's wrong with Zhong Xiu?" Fang Ni saw her father was still breathing hard in anger and went to support him, afraid that he might get sick from his anger.
"That bastard Zhong Xiu forced Ye Hao to hand over the South African mercenaries and return to the country. Ye Hao did nothing wrong; Zhong Xiu only knows how to toy with his soldiers and doesn't even know how to command. It's infuriating to be angry like this..." Fang Zhongtian cursed under Fang Ni's support, still expressing dissatisfaction with Zhong Xiu.
"Alright, alright! Dad, that's their Team A's matter; it has nothing to do with our ministry's affairs! Can you stop being angry?" Fang Ni couldn't recall who Ye Hao was for a moment and thought it was just an internal matter within Team A, hoping her father wouldn't get involved too much.
"How is it not related to us? If it weren't for that kid providing intelligence, do you think your intelligence department would be able to break several major cases unharmed? Hmph..." Fang Zhongtian was not satisfied with his daughter's words, directly reminding her who Ye Hao was.
"Which major cases?" The Intelligence department provides clues for the Ministry of Public Security to catch criminals too many times and often, making it hard for her to recall Ye Hao.
"The mercenary infiltration in the highland area, killing 28 people on the coast, the group of mercenaries lurking in Jiangsu and Zhejiang... These people, if not for Ye Hao providing intelligence, who knows how many lives would be at risk now. Remember who he is? Hmph!" Fang Zhongtian was very dissatisfied with his daughter forgetting Ye Hao.
"Oh... you mean him? Why was he forced back to the country?" Fang Ni heard her father's words and finally understood who Ye Hao was, expressing sudden realization.
"Yes! If not for him, your intelligence department would still be like a headless fly investigating! Now that he's forced back, hurry up and go pick him up for me." Fang Zhongtian thought of how Ye Hao grew up in Team A without support, trained for thirteen years, and then went out on missions, completing each task efficiently. Returning to such a bustling city all alone, he certainly wouldn't feel any sense of home, so he told his daughter to pick Ye Hao up.
"Dad! It's now already 12 o'clock..." Fang Ni said, feeling a bit speechless.
Hearing this, Fang Zhongtian directly glared at her and said, "Even if it's 3 AM, you must go pick him up and make sure he feels this is his home; don't give him any attitude."
"Dad! Am I your daughter, or is he your son..." Fang Ni wanted to complain a bit more but seeing the glare from her father, she could only pout and agree.
