Xiao Yan's eyes widened: "Master?"

Gu Qingqiu raised an eyebrow: "What? You don't want to?"

"I do!" Xiao Yan embraced Gu Qingqiu, and Gu Qingqiu even had the illusion of hearing the mechanical heartbeat.

"Master, I love you... I love you..." Xiao Yan stammered, her words somewhat incoherent.

Haven't you considered the consequences of doing this? The protagonist of this world isn't some random robot.

System 057 made a very unpleasant sound.

"So what? I'll never like someone just because they're outstanding, nor will I treat someone differently just because they're ordinary. Actually, I'm just as ordinary in the real world! I know that because I'm not good enough, it might be hard for me to have the love I dream of, but I've already died once. If I can't do what I want here, I might as well just die. So what if the mission failed?"

System 057 remained silent, and the people who interrupted their embrace became the driver knocking on the door and the ringing cell phone.

"Miss Gu? Have you found your ring?"

Seeing that no one answered, the driver simply made a phone call.

"Ring ring—ring ring—"

Fortunately, the soundproofing at home was pretty good, so the driver probably couldn't hear the phone ringing at the door. However, the noise bothered Gu Qingqiu, who frowned in displeasure, but Xiao Yan quickly smoothed it out with her fingers.

Xiao Yan's eyes were calm and gentle, as if she hadn't been disturbed. Or perhaps, Gu Qingqiu was her whole world.

Gu Qingqiu smiled; that was enough.

"System 057, prepare to teleport."

System 057 was somewhat surprised: [Didn't you just say you wanted to elope?]

“You don’t understand,” Gu Qingqiu replied. “Elopement is not always about the form, but about an attitude.”

System 057: [...]

Gu Qingqiu returned to the standby space station.

She used to feel that this place was unreal, and that the world she had lived in for a long time and the male protagonist she had been in contact with were the real thing.

But now, she has a different feeling.

The more frequently she traveled between different worlds, the more clearly she could feel the "unreality" of these worlds, and the small details and bugs that she had previously overlooked began to surface one by one.

Actually, she hadn't completely ignored bugs before; it's just that these minor issues hadn't prompted her to think about them deeply enough.

The next world.

The next world.

One world after another.

Gu Qingqiu stays in each world for a very short time; how long she stays depends entirely on her mood, and whether she can complete the mission is also up to fate.

System 057 seemed somewhat agitated. Although it tried its best to restrain itself, it still showed obvious signs, at least to Gu Qingqiu.

For example, it always seems to intentionally or unintentionally encourage Gu Qingqiu to stay in one world for a longer period of time, or to rest more in the standby space station.

Gu Qingqiu once jokingly asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? You're not forcing me to complete the mission anyway. Is the number of worlds in the God System limited?"

System 057: 【…How is that possible?】

Although System 057 denied it quickly, Gu Qingqiu still sensed something was wrong, so she spent even less time in each world.

Finally, after Gu Qingqiu emerged from one world, System 057 had no choice but to immediately teleport her to the next world after her repeated urging.

When Gu Qingqiu opened her eyes, she found herself in a lecture hall. She felt that the scene was somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite place where it was familiar. However, she was certain that she had been to this classroom before, or at least to a classroom with a similar structure.

But to be honest, the atmosphere of classes is pretty much the same no matter where you are, so Gu Qingqiu called out System 057 with little interest: "Send me some background information now."

Unexpectedly, system 057 did not respond.

"Where is the person? No, where is the system?" Gu Qingqiu took out a pen from her pencil case and twirled it listlessly.

About four or five minutes later, system number 057 appeared.

Its mechanical voice paused strangely for a moment: "[Host, this world seems to be malfunctioning. You can go back to your dormitory for a while, and I'll send you the background information once the world is fixed.]"

"Oh?" Gu Qingqiu stopped what she was doing. "What's wrong? Well, you should at least tell me where my dorm is, right?"

A few minutes later, a dormitory building name and room number appeared in Gu Qingqiu's mind.

The location looked so familiar… Gu Qingqiu’s doubts deepened. She didn’t even care about the teacher talking incessantly on the podium or the textbooks she hadn’t had time to pack up on the table. She simply clutched her stomach and pretended to be in great pain from needing to pee, and slipped out of the classroom through the back door.

Fortunately, her acting skills were superb, and the teacher only glanced in her direction without calling out to her.

Stepping out of the classroom, the familiar school building made Gu Qingqiu's heart beat even faster.

[Host, don't rush off! The world glitch hasn't been fixed yet! The world map isn't even finished. What if something collapses and you get hurt?]

The more she said that, the less likely Gu Qingqiu was to stop. She had already discovered that Number 057 would sometimes deliberately scare her!

The abnormal situation became even more apparent after leaving the teaching building; she still remembered the way back to the dormitory even after so much time had passed!

This is indeed the place where she went to school, but it is not the "real" her. To be precise, this is also the world she once lived in.

She ran breathlessly to the dormitory building, where a man, both familiar and unfamiliar, was sitting on a bench by the entrance.
