Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

The clinic was less than two kilometers away from the city gate. With the help of moonlight, Jiang Ye teleported three times and arrived at the destination.

She chose to settle in the southwest corner of the city wall, where there were stone pillars on both sides, which was just right for sheltering from the wind.

But she overestimated the temperature of the autumn night and sneezed violently as soon as she landed.

The white cat walked out silently from the darkness on the right and trotted towards her.

The round eyes stared at her for a few seconds, and then said in surprise: "Host, your physical data is better than yesterday!"

Jiang Ye paused while wiping his nose, as if casually saying, "Really? I didn't feel it."

"Really, really!"

As if afraid that she wouldn't believe it, the white cat directly summoned a translucent black light curtain and projected Jiang Ye's physical data before and after entering the city.

Jiang Ye glanced at them one by one.

Although the professional terminology was different from what she had seen before, these two reports were detailed enough to show the changes in her mental power in a concrete way.

Jiang Ye's eyes darkened as he looked at the cute and obedient white cat in front of him with full vigilance.

"How did you get my physical data?" Jiang Ye leaned against the wall, supporting his left hand behind his back.

"Hmm?" The white cat tilted its head, "All systems have the function of body detection."

"How long will it take you to detect this data?"

"3995.66 milliseconds."

In other words, in less than four seconds, this kind of technology...

Jiang Ye's tense body relaxed and he suddenly smiled.

She took her left hand out from behind her back, holding three shiny silver needles on her fingertips, with the ends filled with purple venom.

The white cat widened its eyes slightly.

"This thing probably has no effect on you." Jiang Ye shrugged and put the thing aside.

The white cat nodded honestly: "The system entity can at least defend against S-level venom, this one is only B+ level."

Jiang Ye was not surprised.

Being able to detect so many things within four seconds, and it’s only a level four system, is enough to show that the strength behind it is immeasurable.

At least not the era she lived in.

The few needles she prepared on the spur of the moment were really not good enough.

This was a little beyond her expectations, so Jiang Ye simply didn't beat around the bush: "Can you lie to the host?"

"No." White Cat was confused, but still told the truth, "But the system cannot answer questions that are beyond the scope of authority."

"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded, "Then let me ask you--"

The white cat sat where it was, and upon hearing that, it raised its front legs nervously.

"First, why do you look like a cat?"

"System entities are generated based on the host's preferences."

Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes: "So you know what I'm thinking?"

As soon as she said this, she felt something was wrong. If the cat knew, it wouldn't have looked so stupid in front of her.

White Cat also explained at the right time: "The system cannot read the host's thoughts. Everything is judged based on the host's behavior, habits, reactions, etc."

Jiang Ye sneered coldly: "Then those emoticons you use are also determined by your program?"

Each one of them was one she had used frequently.

“This is not…”

Jiang Ye stared at it expressionlessly.

"But the system definitely didn't deliberately spy on the host's memory!" The white cat lifted its front paws off the ground and stood straight, very honestly. "The host had repeatedly reorganized the data before, and there was a strong memory fragment overflow. When the program was launched to recycle the memory, the program cached part of it..."

Jiang Ye was stunned. She had not thought of this possibility. When she was on the verge of death, she did keep thinking about the past.

Since this system can already detect mental power, then caching memories is not a far-fetched concept.

"I accept this explanation." Jiang Ye propped himself up as he was about to fall. "Then the last question is, why do you act according to my preferences?"

"Being close to the host is one of the settings and goals of the companionship system."

"I want to hear the full reason."

This time, the white cat stared at her blankly for a long time, and finally said: "I don't have enough authority to unlock other information."

As soon as it finished speaking, the translucent light curtain in front of Jiang Ye suddenly flashed!

Then, a black warning box popped up on the screen: XLI63669 triggered a leak, and 10 points will be deducted from the authority points! Warning once!

The white cat suddenly opened its eyes wide and realized that its answer itself answered part of Jiang Ye's question.

It buried its head into its chest dejectedly, and the whole cat was bent like a shrimp.

"..." Jiang Ye's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt subtly threatened by the main system.

But looking at the depressed white cat, Jiang Ye rubbed his nose and finally compromised: "I won't ask for now."

The white cat looked up in surprise.

"I understand the current situation to mean that when you have sufficient authority, you will be able to get a complete answer to my question?"

"Yes, you can..." The white cat didn't understand.

"Then tell me, how do you upgrade your permissions? Do you use those permission points?"

Speaking of this, the white cat is very excited: "Yeah!"

Jiang Ye followed its words and got out some key information.

First of all, the answer she wanted required level one system authority, which was second only to the main system authority.

Secondly, the fourth-level system XLU63669, who had been diligently accompanying five hosts for several years, had earned a total of 79 points, but just now, 10 points were deducted, leaving a balance of 69. The first-level system requires 30 points.

Again, authority points only come from the host's task points and are exchanged at a probability of 1:10. That is to say, the host consumes 10 task points and can exchange 1 authority point for the system.

"Indeed, it's very difficult." Jiang Ye moved his buttocks, leaned his waist against the protruding stone pile, and sighed exaggeratedly.

The white cat sat down beside her, drooping its body, looking very melancholy: "Yeah..."

After a few days of getting to know each other, its personality seemed to be formed according to Jiang Ye's preferences, becoming more and more silly and gullible.

Jiang Ye was amused by its appearance and couldn't help but rub its head a few times.

Comfortable, to the point where both parties feel satisfied.

A few minutes later, Jiang Ye retracted his black hand and returned to normal: "Okay, let's talk business."

"Hmm(?????)?" The fake cat, who was snoring vigorously, opened his eyes with a confused look on his face.

"Do you know where the potions that the three mercenaries who caused the trouble went?"

White Cat shook his head: "Ke Caiying is also leading people to look for it, but they haven't found it yet."

"Have you examined the bodies of those three mercenaries?"

When Jiang Ye was thinking, he was very indifferent. The white cat automatically responded: "At present, I only have the authority to perform a physical examination on the host."

Then we can't start with mercenaries.

Jiang Ye stroked the sand on his fingertips, and spoke slowly as he thought: "Can you recognize all the people in the novel?"

"Only characters relevant to the plot can do that."

The pointing range was a bit vague, so Jiang Ye asked again: "So, have you identified anyone in the past two days?"

As if he had passed the test, Bai Mao nodded vigorously: "The heroine Bei Qianyan, she entered the mercenary circle three hours ago!"

"Gone?"

"And Ke Caiying..."

It seems that the only characters it can recognize are those who are mentioned by name in the original work.

Jiang Ye had a clue in his mind and nodded casually without much disappointment.

If she bypassed the heroine, she would also avoid most of the plot in the book. This incident was not mentioned at all in the original book, so it was normal that the system could not detect the answer she wanted.

But that doesn't mean this is just a simple revenge.
