System - Don't try to control me

In the back seat of the car, there were three boxes containing three antiques, each worth $50,000. However, Hikaru left them in the backseat arbitrarily, as if they were worthless items.

Hikaru was driving while thinking about what to do next. As he had recently achieved what he wanted.

He had 300 million dollars. With this money, he could buy and store a lot of food, water and many other things.

As a refugee, he had the Noack mansion. It was the place that would later become the safest place for the main character, Tadashi.

Most importantly, he had gotten the Panara Box.

Hikaru was driving the car with one hand, and holding a small box the size of a tennis ball in his other hand.

[Master.] The voice of the system resounded in his head: [Don't you intend to use the Panara Box?]

"No!" Hikaru used his thoughts to communicate with the System: " Although the Panara Box is in my hands, I can't use it right now."

[Why?]

"Because the Panara Box can only be activated after the apocalypse strikes."

That's right, according to what Hikaru remembered about the content of the novel series "Apocalypse: I own the Panara Box '', Tadashi just happened to get the Panara Box when the apocalypse started.

The apocalypse in this novel did not have tsunamis, earthquakes or any other natural disasters, the things that appeared were zombies.

That's right, at that time, a rain would fall on the entire earth, and anyone who was touched by even a drop of rain water would turn into a Zombie.

Not just humans, but any living creature as well. Even creatures below the ocean turned into Zombies.

However, in addition to becoming Zombies, there were many people who were not affected by the rain, and many people also evolved thanks to that rain, and gained supernatural powers.

Of course, the number of people possessing supernatural powers was not much, the number of people was less than 0.01% of the total number of survivors. That means that out of every 100 survivors, only one person had the ability to possess supernatural powers.

At that time, the Panara Box will have energy to be activated. He sighed and said: "We don't need to care about the Panara Box, for now, I just have to keep it carefully. I have more work to do."

[Master, you're weird, aren't you interested in Amanda Ryrlia?]

Listening to the System speak, Hikaru remembered Ryrlia and her beauty. Yes, she was very beautiful, it was not untrue to say that Hikaru was interested in Ryrlia, he was a man after all, so it was normal to be interested in a beautiful girl.

However, Ryrlia was a special case, she was very dangerous. The MC even became her puppet, Hikaru who was a villain, didn't think that he would be lucky enough to survive if he faced Ryrlia.

[Master, you already know the plot, are you afraid of her?]

Hikaru sighed, suddenly, his voice turned cold: "System, you call me master right?"

System startled: [That's right…]

"Then you don't have to advise me about what to do because I am your master. I know what I need to do, you just have to keep your promise after my quest in this world is over."

The system now felt extremely scared. This was the first time it had seen a person who dared to oppose the system.

Hikaru's voice continued: "If you don't keep your promise, I promise to find you and cut you into a hundred pieces. Do you hear me?"

System: [...]

"What? No answer?"

[Ack! Of course, if master completes the quest then I will definitely fulfill my promise. But… are you sure you don't want to do the quest? There will be a lot of rewards.]

Hikaru shook his head: "No need, I just want to be safe in this world, then go to the Fantasy World. If you want to find someone who will follow your orders and carry out the tasks you want, you can find someone else."

[Ack! No.] The System's voice was a little shaky like a girl who was about to cry.

"Good then. We are in an equal cooperative relationship. If you can help me, then I would greatly appreciate it, however, if you try to control me, I won't do what you want."

"If you still try to find a way to control me, or make me your puppet, I will kill myself."

"Don't believe I can't do it, anyway I'm just a loner, I don't have family, parents, friends or a lover. That's why I can kill myself without any hesitation."

"If you don't believe me, we can try it."

Hikaru's voice when spoke was Hoarse and it sounded angry, the System quickly said: [No, sorry, master. I don't intend to control you, it's just… I just feel that the girl is very beautiful, I want to help you get her. Besides… I think all men like to have a harem, right?]

Hikaru shook his head: "No need. I am just a passerby in this world, many women are of no use. When I go to the Fantasy world, I will set up a harem, but not this world. At that time, I can have as many people as I want, from any race."

[Yes…]

Hikaru breathed a sigh of relief hearing that. Hikaru didn't want to use this method, however, when he heard the System mention Ryrlia, he knew it wanted to control him.

Hikaru had also read a lot of novels; he knew that the Systems intended to control the people it parasitized with the tasks it offered.

The system that exists may have a purpose, or perhaps someone had created it and was now currently controlling it.

Although there were many mysteries, he didn't care about them, what he cared about now was what to do next to survive in this world.

Hikaru suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

[Why does master ask that?] The system asked a bit confused.

"It's a bit inconvenient to call you System all the time, if you have a name, I'll call you by that. From your tone of voice, you are female, right?"

[Hehehe… that's right, I'm female, and I'm very pretty. Master, are you curious?]

Hikaru shook his head: "No."

[Huh!] The System snorted: [You'll regret it later.]

"Good, I also hope I will regret it then. However, you still haven't answered my question." Hikaru said calmly, it seemed that he didn't care about what the System just said."

[I don't have a name, can you give me one, Master!]

"Hm… Then calling you System is fine."

[...]

[Master… are you making fun of me?]

"Hahaha… okay, I'll call you Rika, okay?"

[Why did master choose that name?]

"It's easy to say."

[... Haizzz, okay, thank you master for naming me. So… from now on, you can call me Rika.]

Hikaru nodded and asked, "So… Rika, I stole 1,000 lucky points from Tadashi, what reward will I get?"

[Master, I also have another function that is, for every 1,000 luck points you have gotten from the main character, you will get one lucky spin.]

"Lucky spin?"

[That's right, you will get things like items, abilities, or other skills. If you accumulate 9,000 luck points, then you will get 10 spins.]

[You just stole 1,000 Luck points from Tadashi, you have one lucky spin, do you want to use it?]

Hikaru nodded and said, "Use it, I want to see what I get."

[Start spinning!] Rika said excitedly as if the one spinning the wheel was her and not him.

In front of Hikaru, a circular turn table immediately appeared and startled him. Hikaru immediately stepped on the brake, then pulled over.

"Rika, it's dangerous for you to do that."

[Hehehe… I thought you weren't afraid of death.]

Hikaru frowned, he then let out a long sigh. Luckily this wasn't a highway, or else the police would have appeared next to him immediately for parking on the highway.

He looked at the circular turntable in front of him, which was spinning around. Then, after a while it slowed down and stopped, the needle on the turntable pointed to a small white corner.

[Ding dong! Congratulations to the owner on receiving the "gun mastery" skill. Your ability to use a gun is currently on par with that of a special forces soldier.]

Hikaru felt confused, he asked, "Why don't I feel anything?"

[Because skills like these are automatically activated in the brain, so you won't be affected at all.]

He nodded, then continued to drive away. At this moment, Rika's voice continued: [Master, do you have any plans?]

"Not yet. I want to go to the Noack mansion to see how things are going."

Rika didn't say anything more after hearing that. Hikaru then quickly drove to Noack mansion.

Noack Mansion was located on the slopes of Mount Noack. The road to the mountain is not difficult to go, on the contrary, a road is built to facilitate the climb up the mountain.

However, that road is not big, just a two-lane road about 7 meters wide.

Hikaru drove about 20 minutes to the front of the Noack mansion. He got out of the car and looked at the rusty gate because it had not been maintained for a long time.
