Chapter 49: Chapter 49 Do you believe me if I say I don’t know either?

[Your Majesty, this Qin Zhan has extremely strong spiritual power and can control it freely. He is not someone to be underestimated.]

tried to stay calm while speaking, but it still had a lingering fear in its heart. Just thinking about the consequences of privately checking Qin Zhan’s spiritual power made it break out in a cold sweat. What’s more, it had to remind its host under this person’s watchful eyes.

In 007’s view, Qin Zhan was dangerous because his spiritual power was higher than its own, coming from the future system, and could even affect it—truly a rarity.

Given the situation, 007 secretly listed two possibilities.

The first possibility was that Qin Zhan, like its host Bi Xia, also had a super-intelligent system from the future, but 007 ruled this out after much contemplation.

When it probed Qin Zhan’s spiritual power that day, it clearly felt that the resistance and warnings came from Qin Zhan’s own spiritual power, without interference from a similar frequency. Moreover, it was certain that the original creators had made it the only system with its own thoughts back then.

This left only the second possibility, making 007 look seriously and quietly at the cold youth.

Inborn spiritual power at sss-level.

If that were true, then this young man named Qin Zhan was hiding much more than just that. Just his spiritual power alone had forced 007 to use all its energy to resist before it had to shut down to avoid being detected.

However, seeing Qin Zhan’s manner toward its master, he seemed to have no malice, and even somewhat of a mutual attraction. Looking at Qin Zhan’s favorability score toward its host—52—Qin Zhan wouldn’t harm Bi Xia, and maybe even... Thus, 007 wisely chose not to tell Bi Xia about it.

But the strange thing was... the favorability score kept fluctuating... 007 frowned.

Listening to what 007 said, Bi Xia looked at the young man standing in front of a silver sports car, the starry eyes flickering with a blue light.

’Then why didn’t I detect his spiritual power the first two times I met him?’ Bi Xia frowned.

[Easily explained,]007 returned to its senses, its keyboard clacking away, [Back when you first met him, you had almost no spiritual power left, and I hadn’t upgraded yet, plus he must have been hiding it, so you didn’t notice.]

[And the reason we felt his spiritual power was familiar should be... the top god system back then wasn’t just because the favorability score met the threshold but also likely due to touching his spiritual power, thus fully activating.] 007 contemplated, explaining.

Is that so...

Unexpectedly, the owner of the familiar spiritual power turned out to be him, the person who had been remarkably noticeable upon their first meeting.

Bi Xia’s gaze drifted, thinking back to the first time he met Qin Zhan, he inexplicably felt a desire to get close to him despite only a few meetings. Now it seemed it had to be due to their mutual spiritual power resonance.

Suddenly, a can of milk appeared in front of him. Bi Xia was slightly stunned, looking up only to meet a pair of deep phoenix eyes, those eyes carrying a faint smile.

Qin Zhan lightly raised the corners of his lips, "You are still underage, so you can’t drink alcohol. Have some milk first," he paused, "As a young man, you’re too short."

Bi Xia: ...

Heh, at 1.75 meters, you really think I’m short!

Bi Xia silently took the milk, opened it, and sipped it. Fine, I won’t argue!

Thinking this, Bi Xia rolled his eyes, propped up with one hand, exerting a little force, and sat on the hood of his car.

"Why did you bring me here?" Bi Xia sat cross-legged, looking ahead.

From the moment they met, Qin Zhan brought her along, leaving everyone, including Xu Renfei, behind and coming to the top of Qingpan Mountain.

Standing upon the peak, all other mountains are small in comparison.

Even though it was night, looking down from the top of the mountain, the once towering buildings appeared small, and the neon lights formed an unending stream. Looking down, the multicolored lights exuded a unique charm.

Bi Xia half-squinted, slightly tilting his head back. Since coming back, it was the first time he breathed so comfortably, relaxing his nerves, quietly listening to every sound around him.

Qin Zhan leaned against the car, lighting a cigarette, exhaling a cloud of white smoke. Hearing Bi Xia’s words, Qin Zhan chuckled, turning to look at Bi Xia, "If I said I didn’t know either, would you believe me?"
