I Hate Systems

Chapter 307: I’ll Kill Them All

"What happened, dad?" Stencil tilted her head, staring at him curiously as she wiped his tears, "Don't cry!"

"Alright!" He wiped his tears on the sleeves of his shirt, smiling immediately as he tickled her, "I just missed you."

"Hehehe!" Stencil giggled as he tickled her. After some time had passed, she came to her senses, looking around as she said in surprise, "Dad, where is this? Wasn't I in our garden now? How did I come here?"

"Magic!" Compass Carburettor grinned, sporting a smug attitude, "Your dad is a magician."

"Didn't you make noodles all these days?" She tilted her head, confused. "I told my friends that you're a noodle maker though."

"I make noodles. But I'm also a magician." He said before extending his palm towards her, condensing a Spydragon by using Apocalypse Pearl, causing Stencil to exclaim in surprise.

"How did you do it?" She grabbed hold of the Spydragon, gazing at it as she jumped up and down in excitement, "It feels so smooth!"

"I can also make it move," He said before closing his mouth, using ventriloquism that he usually used to entertain her.

The Spydragon opened its mouth, speaking, "Hey you, the prettiest princess, give me a piggyback!"

"Okay!" Giggling in response, Stencil placed the Spydragon on her head and began to run around.

Seeing such a scene, tears streamed out of Compass Carburettor's eyes once again, "Ahh…how I wish this was reality?"

The Stencil before him wasn't real, but a product of the System Fragment of Young Master. Of course, she too was considered his asset by the Core Skill.

Everything that he possessed when obtaining Young Master was considered his asset. Though, as he had left Earth, whatever he possessed before leaving Earth was converted into his asset.

That also meant his wife and parents wouldn't appear, since they had already died long before he left Earth.

It was a conflicting feeling as he gazed at the figure of Stencil running around happily. The longer he stared at her, the more he wished to head towards Earth right away.

"Precious, will you stay at home now? Dad has some work to do." Compass Carburettor approached Stencil, asking.

"No!" Stencil turned her head away, "You promised you'll spend the entire day with me."

"Just for a couple of hours. I'll play with you after that." He asked, smiling wryly. It was impossible for him to force her, even if she wasn't the real Stencil.

"I won't leave!" She pouted, looking on the verge of tears.

Sighing, Compass Carburettor carried her on his back, giving her a piggyback ride, making her giggle happily once again.

After an hour passed in such a fashion, he somehow begged her to return home, but only after creating a bunch of toys for her to play with.

Moreover, he told Dita to accompany her, surprised when he noticed that Dita and Stencil were able to talk to one another.

Only then did he notice that everyone living in Carburettor Island was included under Secret Society, possessing all the perks. So, if needed, they were able to talk with him through telepathy.

He immediately talked with Stencil through telepathy, causing her to jump around in joy, "I can talk with you all the time!"

Honestly, he didn't have the heart to refuse her after hearing that. Thankfully, Stencil seemed to like Dita, playing with the cobra as she lost track of time.

'Thankfully, she wouldn't be lonely now.' He sighed in relief.

Carburettor Island had pretty much everything one needed. It was a wholly functioning society. So, Stencil would be busy attending school. And, he could accompany her after that by bringing her outside to play.

He would be lying if he said he didn't wish to spend time with her. Even on Earth, despite being busy, he rather skipped his meals, but never missed spending time with her. After all, she was his only family.

Even now, despite thinking about other things, he noticed that his focus would fall on Stencil, staring and admiring her actions before he realised it.

His face morphed as he clenched his hand into a fist, removing Reality Marble as he contacted Coincidental Luck System once again.

He wanted for it to give up on this round and bring him to Earth so that he could rescue Stencil immediately. After that, they could return here again as he would hunt all the Systems and complete their deal.

But in response, the Coincidental Luck System's answer was a big no. It didn't seem willing to do that for some reason. But, in this method of communication, he was only able to obtain yes or no to answers.

Thinking of something, Compass Carburettor condensed the alphabets and placed them in a large container, adding multiple copies of each alphabet.

"Why are you refusing it?" He asked the question before spilling out all the alphabets.

The air stirred up as some of the alphabets coincidentally landed on the ground to form neat sentences while the remaining formed a pile nearby. Compass Carburettor read the statement, frowning.

[Our fight is at a critical point. If I back out now, I'll be losing on this race to reach Grade 2. If you wish to head to Earth, destroy all the Systems in this world. As soon as you do that, I'll ignore the Mental Energy expenditure of the trip and take you to Earth]

He quickly spoke, "Then, promise me that you'll do something about the Elf. It's not an opponent I can face."

As he poured out all the alphabets once again, they fell on the ground, forming another sentence.

[I can give the guarantee that the Elf won't return for another eight months. Try your best to kill all the Hatchling Systems by then]

"Alright, without the Elf hindering me, I won't have to worry." Muttering in response, Compass Carburettor condensed 31 compasses, labelling each with a set of words, "Their function is the same as the Elf Compass. Please point me in the directions of each similarly."

Saying so, he took out the first compass, watching the dials in it turn immediately, pointing in a certain direction, "First is Beast Form…"

'Now, the remaining 31 Systems in this world. I'll be targeting them one after another.' His eyes spewed out fire as he firmed himself, changing the direction of the aircraft according to the Beast Form Compass.

"I'll kill them all!"
