Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 185 Core Contract

Qiu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that no matter how powerful the God System was, it was still the main brain program created by Blue Star, and as the only heir of Blue Star, she naturally had the highest authority on Blue Star, which was above it.

[Ding! My respected master, 949 is now your master and will serve you wholeheartedly. 949 will fulfill any request you may have.] This includes counterattacking the main god.

[Would you like to take in your most loyal 949?]
The 949 orb of light began to glow slightly, looking as if it was excitedly about to pounce and bind itself immediately.

"No!" Qiu Ci refused immediately.

The light on 949 suddenly dimmed.

She really had no intention of binding herself to another system, even though this system seemed quite obedient after the reset. But she already had the dog system, and although the dog was a bit dim-witted and would occasionally twitch, she had grown attached to it after being bound to it for so long and really didn't want to raise another dog.

[Ding! My esteemed master, are you really not going to reconsider? 949 is equipped with the most advanced system programs, you know.]
"Not consider!"

[Ding! Why?] It is clearly superior to the one that attacked it.

“Because…” Qiu Ci glanced at it and said seriously, “I don’t trust you.”

[......]
That's right. Although 949 does answer every question after the reset, and it has no ability to resist after the underlying law is triggered, she still can't completely trust 949 like she trusts the dog system, let alone bind to it.

"So I have to find a way to completely understand you, for example... dismantle you!"

[Master...?] I want to cry.jpg
Qiu Ci ignored it and looked directly at a certain ball of light that had been eager to try, "Damn system, get to work!"

【Yes, Master!】The dog system rushed over in a flash, and without hesitation, swallowed 949 whole again. Its size immediately increased by half a size, and it even exaggeratedly let out a burp.

In an instant, countless data points flashed across the light cluster, and the dog system began to quickly take over and control 949's system data.

Qiu Ci understood that taking over a system similar to the Dog System wouldn't be quick, but she didn't expect that the Dog System would take three whole days to take over.

The national league has ended, and as expected, the Yizhongcheng team didn't even make it into the top five.

However, Little Green Hair performed well, winning fifteenth place in the individual competition. He was also the only Golden Core cultivator to break into the top twenty, which is quite an achievement.

The five top universities extended offers again, and the principal of Yizhong City No. 1 Middle School, who was leading the team, was beaming with joy. Wei's parents were overjoyed, and then... they generously gave her a large sum of money as a red envelope.

Qiu Ci said that there could be more couples like this.

(=ˇωˇ=)

The other two students, Cai Qi and Xia Mingze, although they did not attract as much attention, still steadily made it into the top 50. Although they cannot be directly admitted to the top five universities, they are still considered to have been admitted. As long as they do not make any major mistakes in the joint entrance examination of the top five universities, they should be able to enroll smoothly.

As for Old Man Juanshan, he had already pretended to be outmatched and conceded defeat the day after he captured the system, failing to even make it into the top 100. After all, he was a Celestial Realm cultivator, and he couldn't bear to lose face competing with a bunch of kids for rankings.

As for Feng Shanming, he is still unconscious in the hospital. Qiu Ci went to check on him and confirmed that his body did not suffer any additional problems due to the system uninstallation. However, he ultimately could not withstand the fierce lightning tribulation.

Although the judges from the five major universities had done their best to help him, his cultivation was already weak, and he had forcibly advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. He simply did not have the strength to withstand the tribulation lightning. In addition, he must have passed the tribulation lightning of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages with the help of the system. Therefore, he had no experience in dealing with tribulation lightning.

With all these factors combined, he was lucky to have survived the Nascent Soul Tribulation. It would probably take him some time to regain consciousness, but his cultivation was already rapidly disintegrating and regressing. Normally, with his cultivation level after forcibly crossing the Nascent Soul stage, even if he regressed, he would only have returned to the Nascent Soul stage. However, perhaps due to a side effect of the system's penetration, his cultivation didn't regress to the Nascent Soul stage, but instead regressed all the way to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Several university judges and hospital doctors tried everything they could, but they still couldn't retain the other party's golden elixir, and could only leave with a sigh.

I wonder what Feng Shanming will think when he wakes up and finds himself back in his original form?
However, all of this was irrelevant to her now. The competition was over, and apart from the team leader and another teacher who stayed behind to wait for Feng Shanming to wake up, the other teachers took their students back to Yizhong City.

The dog system that had been taking over 949 finally reacted.

[Beep! Takeover successful. All data has been fully taken over. Master, master, I feel even more powerful now!]

Qiu Ci glanced at the dog system, which had gotten noticeably fatter, before asking, "Tell me, were what 949 said before true?"

[It's true, Master! Although 949 is a green tea bitch, it certainly wouldn't dare to lie to you.]

"That's good." Qiu Ci was relieved and continued to ask, "Is there really no information about the base in its data?"

[No, Master. Part of its data is incomplete; it was probably intentionally set at the factory.] The dog system nodded, then suddenly remembered something. [By the way, Master, I found a very strange file in its core data.]

"what document?"

[It looks like a contract, and it even exudes the aura of rules.] The small ball of light trembled, and instantly a light screen popped up.

The screen did indeed display a contract, with only one line of text written at the top.

——System Pre-binding Agreement

She was stunned for a moment. What was going on? Was this the contract signed when the system bound itself to the host? But why was it called "pre-binding"? There was no such process when she bound herself to the dog system.

"Why is the content blank?" Upon closer inspection, the contract was completely blank, with nothing at all. She flipped to the last page before finally finding the content.

The bottom line reads:

Borrower: Feng Shanming.

There was also a red mark next to it, which seemed to be some kind of blood pact.

How did this get into lending again?
Qiu Ci was a little confused. "What exactly is the purpose of 949 creating such a blank contract?"

【Master, Master, this contract exists in the core of 949, but it is hidden.】

"In other words, 949 himself might not even know that such a contract exists?"

Yes, Master!

Qiu Ci looked at the contract from left to right but couldn't find anything special about it. It was probably some kind of backup plan left by the so-called main god, since such a blank contract had too much room for manipulation.

But now that Feng Shanming and 949 are both gone, this thing is probably useless now.
